 The opinion on Hallinan's appeal vas written by Judge William Orr with Chief Justice William Denman md Judge Albert L. Stephens con- curing.

DYNAMO SHORTS IN FAIRBANKS; JUICE
 SHORTAGE CRITICAL

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May 23-- iR-This city's power shortage, al- ready described as critical, reached emergency status yesterday with the breaking of a 300-kilowatt generator at the Alaska Railroad plant. The generator had been loaned to the city for auxiliary power pur- poses when members of Local 1850 International Brotherhood of Elec- trical Workers closed the Fairbanks Exploration Department powerhouse of the U. S. Smelling, Refining and Mining Company in support of de- mandS for a union shop contract clause.
 The union has been on strike for more than a week but closed the powerhouse Sunday.
 Lou Joy, superintendent of the Northern Commercial Company, said the loss of the generator made it mandatory that lights, heating units, water pumps and appliances be used only when absolutely neces- sary.
 Service to some portions of the city may have to be cut off en- tirely, Joy said.
 It is the first time. in 10 years the powerhouse, supplying two- thirds of the city's electrical power, has been shut down. The previous shutdown was brought about by the strike of Local 444, CIO Mine Workers, to force company recogni- tion of the union. That strike lasted 30 days but did not affect the city's power facilities as the Northern Commercial Company was then sup plying all the power needed.
 Meanwhile, the strike of approxi- nately 70 members of Local 1853, International Brotherhood of Elec- trical Workers went into it's second week. The men walked out week ago yesterday demanding a l272- cent-hourly wage boost in their new agreement with the National Electrical Contractors Association.
 Two association members have agreed to the union demand. Those two companies were the only ones proceeding with work at either the Ladd or Eielson Air Force base pro- jects.

MOCK A-B0MB
 ATTACK WILL BE
 FRIED ON SEATTLE

WASHINGTON, May g - R - An emergency civil defense plan is going to be ready soon for the na- tion's A-bomb worried cities. A mock attack" will be staged upon Seattle.
 Mayors have been complaining that their towns can't find out what they ought to do about civil defense.
 Now the governments civil de- fense office, in the National Securi- ties Resources Board (NRB), is try ing to get a program ready this summer that will show them what to do with the manpower and re- sources they have now.
 Special surveys getting under way here and in Seattle and Chi cago, where authorities will work on the assumption that the cities have been atom bombed, will be the basis for the fill-in program.
 Later on, by September l, NSRB intends to have more permanent civil defense plan ready for states and communities.
 NSRB officials say no change in policy has been made-that the federal government isn't stepping in to give the orders and foot the bill for civil defense. It still plans to supply guidance and advice, and leave it to states and cities to make the detailed arrangements and pay most of the checks.
 Nor does the fact that an emer- gency plan is being developed indi- cate, NSRB authorities say, that the government considers an attack any more likely now than in recent weeks and months.
 Eric Riddle, consultant in the Civilian Mobilization Office at NSRB, is chairman of the govern ment's committee working witt Washington, Seattle and Chicago authorities.

Disba nd New. German Army,' Soviefs Told
Big Three Protest 0,000- Man Force as Not
 Police Force
(By the Associated Press)

The United States, Britain and France accused Russia today ot creating a 50,000-man German mill tary force and called on the Soviets to disband it.
 The three Western Powers sent separate protests to Moscow saying Russia had broken it's postwar pledges by establishing a police force in Eastern Germany with-as the American note phrased it-"the character of an Army"
 The United States note called on Russia to prove it's pacific inten- tions" by dissolving the ''militarizee units" immediately.
 In making it public, the State Department said British and French notes took the same general line.
 Expressing "grave concern" at Russia's action. the American note said the Soviets have destroyed world confidence in the sincerity" ot their repeated protestations oi peaceful intentions.
 It cited five specific Soviet written agreements against militarizing Ger many, including the promises made 1t Yalta February II, 1945.
 The three-power decision to send protests to Moscow was reached at the London conference of the Big Three Foreign Ministers-Secretary of State Acheson, British Foreign Minister Bevin and French Foreign Minister Schuman.
 The notes went to Moscow at 9 time when weekend of possible crisis in East-W West relations in Ger many is approaching.
 Communist youths from the So- viet zone have laid plans for z march and demonstration in Berlin next Sunday. West Berlin's Mayor Ernst Reuter- has warned Russia his sector will defend its freedom against any effort to suddenly overrun free Berlin"
 Secretary Acheson is to give Con- gress a report next week on the discussions that led to the decision to send the notes.
 It was announced that member' of Congress, with all others barred will hear the Secretary of State al meeting in the Library of Con- gress on Wednesday of next week.
 The United States note said of the German force:
 Tt is not an ordinary police force. and it does not have ordinary police duties.
 Tt receives basic infantry, artil- lery, and armored training, and is equipped with military weapons in cluding machine guns, howitzers anti-aircraft cannon, mortars ant tanks.
 Tt must be regarded, therefore as military force"

BOSSES GIVE UNION VERSION OF
 CANNERY DISPUTE

newspapers" have printed "a great deal of one-sided transformation about the current controversy in the cannery industry. Germain Bulcke, vice-president of the Inter- national Longshoremen and Ware housemen's Union. yesterday after noon presented The Empire with lengthy press release.
 The release was signed by Bob Kinney, the ILWU's international representative.
 With Kinney and Bulcke was Vern Albright, the ILWU's Alaska representative. Bulcke left for Seat tie by plane while the other two went to Petersburg on union busi- ness.
 The three explained, in answer to a query on royalties since dis utilization of CIO unions had dis rupted the Food, Tobacco. Agricul- tural and Allied Workers Union, that Local 2 of that organization had not been rejected by the CIO, but the parent organization had been disaffiliated.
 This local had become Local 7-C of the ILWU, they explained. and that members were the same as those who have worked in Alaska canneries many seasons-and it is the people who count"
 We don't think it is right for the CIO to negotiate contract without consent of workers in volved," said Bulcke. "Opr policy" he went on, lis that workers to be covered by any agree ment must have the right to par Sicipate in negotiations and vote on accepting or rejecting any agree ment recommended to them"
 Regarding his critical attitude to- ward the CIO, the ILWU vice. president said
 T have the right and it is my duty to criticize the CIO when l think they are wrong and in this instance the CIO is wrong-ano howY
 Kinney's statement follows in full:
 The refusal of Alaska Salmon h. iustry, Inc, representatives to dea. with cannery workers unions has created situation that threatens serious crisis in the salmon canning industry for the coming season. By breaking off negotiations witt Local 2 ETA, now Local 7-C ILWU, the Salmon Industry has created lockout against cannery workers with whom they have been dealing for the past IA years.
 This action by the industry is ir violation of a signed agreement committing them to negotiate { final agreement to cover the can ming operation.
 Ask Early Settlement The Union asked for an early settlement of all issues in dispute .ast December when they proposed that negotiations begin. The re- quest was renewed again on Janu- ary and many times since with the industry ignoring completely the unions demand to negotiate. IL is apparent that issues in dispute cannot be settled so long as one of the parties to the dispute re- fuses to discuss the matter. The union has for months beer asking that the differences be set tied around the negotiating table Today the union stands ready to sit down around the table and iron ou, the difficulties.
 The stubborness of the Salmon Industry prevents this. It is appar- ent that the industry is willing to sacrifice the season and bring un- told misery and suffering on the people of Alaska than to drag up chair and get down to plain talk. Like any matter this one can be settled if discussed.
 Local 2 has been the bargaining agent for the cannery workers for the past IA years. Last year these

 WASHINGTON Hoover is angry and hurt at the way Republican senators deserted hin. on his great engineering plan fo government, the Hoover Report.
 In private talks with Washington friends and in a talk before the Sales Executive Club in New York, the ex-president complained bitter ly about the pressure groups, paic propagandists, and organized min critics" which killed his reorganiza- tion plans in the Senate.
 It is the conservative COP sen- ators who have long held up Herb ert Hoover as their symbol of gov ernment efficiency. It is also the COP Senate conservatives who have repeatedly preached govern ment economy Yet when Hoover worked out a plan to save the gov ernment several billions, and Pres ident Truman urged It's adoption by Congress, it was these Samt COP senators who thwarted theil ex-leader. On the other hand, lib- eral Republicans voted with him.
 This is the record on the foui Hoover plans now stopped by the Senate:
 PLAN NO. 1-Transfer functions of the comptroller of the currency to the Secretary of the Treasury Opposed by the American Bankers Association and every COP senator except three-Aiken, Vt.; Lodge, Mass; and Williams, Del. The COP leadership, Robert Taft, Ken Wherry, and Gene Millikin, all voted against Hoover.
 PLAN NO. 12-Abolish the gen. eral counsel of the National La1or Relations Board. Fought by Sen- ator Taft (though he was for it a year before) the National Asso- citation of Manufacturers, and the U. s. Chamber of Commerce. Only five Republicans voted with Hoo- yer: Aiken and Lodge, Ives, N. Y., Langer, N. D., and Tobey, N- H.
