S.S. BaranOf Sails Without Passengers

SEATTLE, P-The Steamer Baranof was to sail as scheduled this afternoon for Alaska, but 50 passengers who had planned to be aboard were casting about today , for other means of transportation.
 The travellers were stranded when the Alaska Steamship Go. cancelled all passenger reserva- tions. A spokesman said it was be- cause of failure by the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union OndD to give written assurance that it's members would comply with the Coast Guard security screening.
 D. E. Skinner, vice president and general manager of the con- pany, said the Baranof would sail as an express freighter.
 The same action will be taken, he said, for the steamer Denali unless Eve receive satisfactory assurance from the union that it's members will sign on the ship and supply replacements for any men screened off in line with regu- lar security procedure"
 The Denali is slated to sail next Friday.
 Skinner said passengers booked for the Baranof would be aided in finding other passage via Cana dian lines or airplane.
 Union spokesmen were not available for comment. Earlier, however, they had protested the screening procedure because eve don't know the charges, or who made them"
 Cancellation of the passenger service cut the stewards depart ment personnel from 66 to 10, and also eliminated the need for three back department workers, two purser's department workers and two radiomen.
 All other maritime unions have complied with the screening pro- gram which is designed to keep subversives and 'poor security risks" from U. s. merchant ships.

Stassen Seeks Citizens Peace Talk With Stalin

WASHINGTON, Republi- can Harold E. Stassen's bid for a sort of Citizens peace conference with communist Russia's Premier Josef Stalin yesterday was greet ed with mixed reaction at home and silence from Moscow.
 Stassen, an unsuccessful seeker after the 194S COP Presidential nomination, disclosed the move Wednesday. He made public let ter suggesting further correspond ence or a face-to-face meeting publicly reported-with Stalin in an effort "to stop the drift tow ard war;"

 Stassen, questioned closely by newsmen about the political inn plications of his action, said it was "non-political," but was "def- initely a move from an individual in the Republican party"
 Diplomatic experts saw little chance that Sealin would accept. But the state department report edly welcomed the letter for it's propaganda effect. The 'Voice of America" featured it on foreign language broadcasts.

 It added that under the pro- posed act any owner of water rights could transfer them only with the highway engineers ap- proval and they could be subect to forfeiture.
