N0DE(I5I0N,
 HIGH COURT,
 HIRING HALL

WASHINGTON, March 27-4R- The Supreme Court refused today for second time to rule on the legality of union hiring halls for scamen, thereby raising the threat of an eventual maritime strike on all coasts.
 The effect of the tribunals &C., tion was to uphold again lower court decison that the hiring halls are illegal-at least in the case Of Great Lakes seamen.
 Barring Congressional action, both government labor experts and marl- time union officials have said that more than 100000 seagoing workers may strike over the issue.
 No date for a walkout has been mentioned, however.
 Bills to remove any doubt as to the legality of the hiring halls are pending in Congress. Whether they will become law remains to be seen.
 The hiring halls, as the term inn plies, provide a central place for shipowners to obtain crews for their vessels.
 The strike threat arose this way:
 Last August 5, the US. Circuit Court in New York ruled that hiring halls for Great Lakes seamen vio- late the closed shop ban of the Taft Hartley act. Under the closed shop only union members may be hired. The circuit court, noting this, said non-union seamen might be discriminated against under the hiring hall system.
 The CIO National Maritime Union appealed the decision to the Su- preme Court.
 On February 13, the high tri- bunal announced simply that it would not consider the appeal. That left the New York courts ruling intact.
 The union at once asked the Su- preme Court to reconsider. Union officials proclaimed publicly that ii the decision were left to stand the seamen would be forced to strike in an effort to preserve their hiring arrangements.

 RUSSIA, LIN
Harsh Verbal Attack Made on Mrs. Franklin D.
 Roosevelt

LAKE SUCCESS, March 27--lR- Russia walked out of the United Nations Human Rights Commis- sion today after making harsh verbal attack on the Commission Chairman, Mrs. Franklin D. Roose- velt.
 The Soviet Delegate, Semyon K. Tsarapkin, accused Mrs. Roosevelt of continuing what he called ef- forts of the United States to use the United Nations for its own pol itical purposes"
 Mrs. Roosevelt banged the gavel repeatedly and said angrily:
 We are now proceeding to the election of officers. We are not listening to any more propaganda speeches.
 Tsarapkin was permitted to finish his speech, however, after declar- ing it was not propaganda.
 Mrs. Roosevelt was reelected to her fifth term as chairman by exclamation. P. 0. Chang, delegate of Nationalist China, was elected first vice president.
 The Soviet delegate made his attack on Mrs. Roosevelt and the United States after the 18-nation commission upheld her ruling that Soviet resolution to oust the Chinese Nationalist delegation was out of order.
 This the 16th LIN organ boycotted by the Russians since Jan. 10, on the Nationalist Chin csc question.

6C0UNTING TRAPS
 TO STUDY pINkS TO
 GO INTO OPERATION

The program recently announced by the Fish and Wildlife Service to concentrate biological studies this year on pink salmon habits will get under way soon, with building o1 two additional downstream count ing traps planned for this area.
 Six downstream counters will be installed, to be under supervision Of Mitchell Hanavan, fishery research biologist, who arrived in Juneau to- day to begin the seasons work.
 The two new traps will be in Snake Creek, near Wrangell, and Humpback Creek, near Port Fred erick Others which were in opera tion last year were at Herman Creek in Behm Canal; Katlian Bay, near Sitka Old Tom Creek, near Wran gell and the regular operation at Little Port Walter.
 The traps will enable observers to tell the abundance of fry com ing seaward after the fishing traps have taken their toll for the in- dustry.
 The study was begun last year, and with completion of this season, a comparison may be made on how the pinks are doing.
 At several of the traps the fish will be marked-their fins clipped for other studies. The devices arc not complete weirs, Hanavan ex- plained, with the exception of the one at Little Port Walter.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
fCopyrisht. IoS0 by Bell Syndicate. Inc.
 By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = A deluge of mail has poured into this office lately outlining ideas on how to win the peace. This mail high lights one of the most important problems faced by government so far largely neglected-how to mobilize the energy of millions Of Americans behind the prosaic goal of peace.
 It is easy to mobilize during war. There is an urgency, a drama, danger behind war. But peace is humdrum. It is easy to sit back, pay taxes, let the diplomats wrangle about peace. Then, when they fail, as they have of late, the rest of us go back to fight all over again. Of late, however, large numbers of the American people are getting vigorous in their demand that they be allowed to play some part in moulding the peace. They realize that peace is like the soil a little erodes here and little erodes there, until the international pas lures are all gulleyed up and war is inevitable.
 It's when the first small gulley starts eroding that you have to begin patching up both your pas lures and the peace.
 Realizing this, the American pub lie would like to help a little bit more in preventing wars rather than merely fighting to win wars after they have started. The prob- lem of the government is to take advantage of this vast goodwill and boundless energy.
