of District Judge George w Folta in favor of Juneau Spruce
 Since then, the ILWU has applied to the Supreme Court for writ certiorari and has until September to present the writ The high court will then examine the petition and determine whether sufficient reason exists to warrant consideration of the appeal
 It is probable that the Oregon case will also be brought before the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court before final disposition is made.
 Should the ultimate judgment of these cases call for payment by the ILWU of the more than s100O00O involved in the two suits and, continuing the con- lecture should the ILWU be unable to satisfy such judgment, the next step would probably be appont- ment, by the court of receiver to administer the financial affairs of the union
 The long jurisdictional dispute that closed the Juneau Spruce mill for many months caused untold losses to the mill its hundred employees and the business community of Juneau.
 It was a strike that none of the mill employees wanted. Less than 20 members of ILWUs local l6 managed to close the mill and throw out of employ ment more than hundred
 These are the destructive tactics of the ir- responsible unions to which the general public is finally objecting. These are the tactics which n- evitably rebound to the detriment of the rank and file members of those unions.

It may be that the public is tring of the pushing around it has been receiving at the hands of some Of the gangser-c controlled labor unions We refer speci- cay to those unions that have repeatedly resorted to violence and coercion to further their ams-alwayS at the expense of industry, the general public and their own membership.

 In this instance violence broke out as American Federation of Labor workers unloaded canned pine apple brought by barge from Hawaii while long horemens strike had parayzed shipping to and from the mid Pacific islands.

United States consumes about 14 million pounds year, chiefly for metal-cutting tools. This doesn't count the critically needed jung sten for jet engines. armor-pier- cling shells and atomic energy. In fact, our anti-tank warfare de- pends on these armor- piercing shells, which can't be built with out tungsten. Yet the Russians know that the most tungsten we can scrape up this year will be about 12 million pounds unless the Korean mines can be rushed into full production.
 Note-our government has re- gently received several mysterious offers of Portuguese tungsten. The offers all mention the same figure 5000 pounds. U. s. experts sus- pect these offers are feelers from Russia, which may be preparing to trade tungsten for critical war materials needed in the Soviet Union.
 Declaration of Independence
 Two newspapers have now tried the experiment of asking Ameri- cans to sign a petition containing nothing but the Declaration of h. dependence and the original amendments of the U s. consti- tuition. First was the Capital Times of Madison, Wis, which had III out of 1l2 people refuse to sign. Second was the New Orleans item which had A out of 36 refuse to sign.
 The New Orleans petition was circulated after both President Truman and this commentator had puhlicized the shocking III to l refusal in Wisconsin. Never theless its results showed how many of the American people either have forgotten the inspir- ing precepts of the founding fathers or else become afraid of the expression of liberal ideas.
 Here are some of the reactions received by reporter Allen John- son when he circulated the New Orleans copy of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights:
 Three men" reported Johnson called me a Communist. One said, My family's with the govern ment, it would get them in trouble You know the FBI checks up on these things"
 Another read Jefferson's stir ring words: Wherever any form of government becomes destruc- tive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish
 That" remarked the man ap- preached by reporter Johnson, sounds Russian to me-
 A housewife didn't like the amendment to the constitution guaranteeing free press and free speech.
 That part ought to be narrow ed down." she said. There's too much talk going on.' She refused to sign.
 Maybe <. Senator Joe Mccarthy, who has circulated thousands of comics Inf his speeches through
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-08-08

the malls at the r9 tdxpayefSr eAr pense, should circulate free lcopies l of the Declaration of Mdepend- ence instaad. It might colihteract some of the fear he has instilled in peoples minds. -.e ' Truth About Voice
 Congressmen are always quick to put the lie to newspapermen when they don't like criticism, But it's not often that a Cong ressman is called for a lie by his own colleagues.
 That was what happened to Congressman John Taber of New York the other day when he got careless of his facts regarding the Voice of America.
 Taber, campaigning to cut the State Departments vitally im- portant propaganda budget, quo- ted Ben Hibhs, editor of the Sat- urday Evening Post, as foremost critic of the Voice. Hibbs is a member of a committee of dis tinguished Americans who advise the State Department regarding the Voice and other propaganda.
 "The Editor of the Saturday Evening Post who iseon that com- mittee," declared Congressman Ta- Der, has never been called to a meeting And he wrote just a little while ago just what he thought about the situation and the way it (the Woire)r was not being car ried out for the good of the Am erican people,
 MT. Hibbs, however, was quick to nail Taber's unfair and untrue distortion of the truth. In a letter inserted in the Congressional rec ord by Congressman Rooney of New York, Democrat, editor Hibbs stated:
 There have been two regular meetings of the commission since my appointment and I have at tended kotho them. .
 T understand that it was also said on the floor, of Congfess that II recently.. wrote / something ex- pressing critical views of the Voice of America, This. is not true II have written nothing about the Voice of America since I have been on the commission
 My position is that there is room for improvement in the whole State Departments infor- nation program. as there always is in any activity, governmental or private. But, I do not believe that this program has been a failure, and do believe that it is being steadily improved seit-
 Moreover, I believe most ur- gently that the program is of such enormous importance that we simply cant throttle it by deny- ing funds for its continuance (Signed) Ben Hibbs."
 Note-other members of the committee advising the State De partment on propaganda are Har- old Dodds, President of Princeton; Rev. Martin McGuire, president of Catholic University; Edwin D. Canham, editor of the Christian Science Monitor; and Philip Reed chairman of the Board of Gener- al Electric. The commission issued a favorable report on the efficien- cy of the State Departments an- ti-Soviet propaganda program.
