Strike Looms Says Skinner

The International Long, shoremen's and Warehouse mems Union has voted to go on strike June 15 unless it's demand for a 30 cents an hour increase in wages, pensions and welfare benefits is met by the Pacific Maritime Associa- tion, D. E. Skinner, general manager of the Alaska Steam ship Company, stated in a letter to Governor Ernest Gruenlng.
 Skinner's letter was ad- dressed to the governor and copies were sent to Alaska Chambers of Commerce, newspapers and ASC agents.
 He asked the Governor to lend his assistance in solving "this difficult problem" .. . and requested that he give his earnest attention in the hope.that an intelligent solu- ton will prevent increased costs and therefore, further increased rates.
 The letter from Skinner to the Governor was read to the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce following the regular luncheon Thursday. .
 In his letter Skinner said, "the 10 cents an hour in- crease in the wage pattern established last year increased this company's (ASC) annual labor costs by approximately $500, ,O00.. the recent de- mands we now face would, if met, further increase our an- nual labor costs by $1, ,800,- GOO.

EGG Vaccinations Complete

Complete
 The BOG team of the A. laska Department of Health will complete It's work to day leaving a few children loath to visit the Health Center again, a few tender arms, and several hundred persons with increased resistance to tuber- culosis.
 According to the record. 834 Kodiak residents and Naval base personnel were tuberculin tested. Approxi- mately one-third of those tested were tuberculin pos tive, which means that at sometime in their lives they had harbored TB germs in their bodies which should have given them a natural resis- tance to the germ.
 No recommendation. was made to these people other than the one made to every community that it is a wise health policy to have a rou- tine chest X-ray every one or two years.
 Those who showed a mega, tive reaction to the test were vaccinated with the BCG vac cine whicL should promote in- creased resistance to the disease. This resistance is supposed to last from one to 10 years but can be overcome if the perscn is continually exposed to tuberculosis.
 It was suggested that those vaccinated be tuberculin test ed again within a year to make sure the vaccination "took". A positive reaction at this time will indicate that it has taken.
 Those vaccinated will have a little bump over each prick site which is slightly tender to the touch and itchy. These little bumps will go away within a few months.
 Grateful thanks are ex- tended t. the members of the Health and welfare Council Of Kodiak, and to the women who gave so generously of their time in the program. Mrs. Dorothy Haag, Virginia Graf. Patricia Mitchell, and Dolly Rohwer received special thanks" Mary Jane Hurley, public health nurse, said.
 She also thanked the Kodiak Independent School system for their cooperation in the handling of the children.

CoIIiAower Predicts
Tourist, Convention
Trade Increase Here

Washington has brighter pros
poets" now than ever before as a
tourist and convention city, James
E. Collif1ows1, chairman of the
Board of Trades Greater Ma
tional Capital Committee, believes.
In an annoal report to the COM
mittee members, Mr.. Collifiower
said Washington finally has be-
come established as a natural"
convention city. He said that dur
ing 1850, conventions and tourists
brought new income to the Dis
trict of an estimated $3.50 million.
During the year, he continued,
312 national and regional conven-
tions were held in Washington
and attracted well over 175,000
persons. Another 4 million tourists
were estimated to have passed
through the city, he said.
Mr.. Colllfiower pointed to two
conventions scheduled for this
year which are among the largest
ever held in Washington. One, the
American Dental Association con-
vention will attract 10000 people
and the other. the American
Bottlers of Carbonated Beverages,
will attract 1900.

plans to lay before the Senate
this week.
Among these is the bill to give
the District Commissioners con-
tinuing authority from year to
year to invoke daylight saving
time for Washington. This is a
perennial issue, and customarily
the Senate approves of this and
the House stubbornly insists on
granting the authority only on a
one -more-year basis:
A long list of bills affecting the
District also is being prepared by
Chairman Mcmillan and other
members of the House District
Committee.
Prominent among these is the
long series of proposals by the
Davis crime subcommittee to
strengthen District law enforce
ment. This legislation, carried in
one big bill of AZ pages. was in
troduced by Representative Davis,
Democrat, of Georgia, on the last
day of the 81st Congress, and with
some clarifying changes was to be
laid before the House District
Committee for consideration
shortly after the committee was
organized for action in the new
Congress.

March 10 at the Mayhower Hotel.
Joseph A. Kaufman, chairman
Of the Dinner Committee, re-
ported on the plans at the fed

urged members of the federation

Citations as soon as possible.
Mr.. Kaufman said plans were
under way to obtain a prominent
speaker.
The federation did little busi-
ness, spending most of the meet
ing hearing progress reports from
committee chairmen.
In one action, it asked the Fis-
cal Relations and Taxation Com
mittee. headed by Edward C. Will
cox, to study the possibility that
notifications may be needed for
the District sales tax. These in
structions came after Mr.. Wilcox
presented resolution recommend
ing the Commissioners take steps
to modify the tax. but made no
specific recommendations.
The federation reiterated its
stand in favor of construction Of
a branch library in Cleveland
Park, at Macomb street and Con-
necticut avenue NV. 1t in
structed Mr.. Wilcox's committee
also to study again the need for
libraries in several other sections
of the city.

ment of Robert r. Hershman Of

Station and the Office of Naval
Officer Procurement is expanding,
the commission is moving it's
headquarters from the first floor
of 14o0 Pennsylvania avenue NV.
to the southeast side of the build
ing on the second floor. Mr.. Mass
mann said the commission is VOL
unfairly reducing its footage by
$50 square feet.
The naval expansion is due to
national defense demands and the
desire to have all its medical and
other facilities on the first floor.
The entire move is expected short
ly, although the Navy is moving
some of its furniture and files over
the week end, because the COM
mission has already vacated some
of its rooms because of reduced

Expressway Proposed
For Maryland Section
OF Rock Creek Park

Construction Of an aexpressway
in the Maryland portion of Rock
Creek Park to connect with the
existing Rock Creek and Potomac
parkway from the Potomac River
to Calvert street has been pro-
posed by the Maryland-National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
This was revealed yesterday by
Blair Lee III, commission vice
chairman. in report on the
agency's activities during the last
IL months.
The report covered all but two
months of his period in Office,
from which he resigned several
days ago. In his place, Gov. Lane
has appointed Cecil A. Eby, Be-
thesda civic leader.
The proposed expressway, ac-
cording to Mr.. Lee. would be the
keystone in a plan for a number
of controlled-access highways in
Montgomery County that would
be similar to the road network in
the New York suburbs.
Expressway Would Fork.
Under the plan, the expressway.
would continue north from its
junction with the Rock Creek
Park parkway to a point south
east of Kensington, where it would
fork. One prong would run north
west to join the new Northwest
freeway (relocation Of Route 24O)
and the other would 60 northeast
to hook up with the new Columbia
pike to Baltimore (relocation of
Route 29.
In addition, an express high
way would leave the George
Washington Memorial Parkway
along the Potomac and extend up
Cabin John Branch to join the
relocated Route 240.
Mr.. Lee pointed out, however,
that the plan is opposed by the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission and the Regional
Highway Planning Committee.
The latter, he said, favors bring
ing Route 240 into Washington
through the Landon School, Wood
Acres and Sumner developments.
The Planning Committees idea,
he contended. would "mutilate"
existing neighborhoods and seri-
ously affect several school and
playground sites, if carried
through.
Cost Is Higher.
But the Maryland commissions
proposal, he insisted, would fol-
low natural barriers and split no
neighborhoods. The increased con-
struction cost would be somewhat
compensated by the fact that the
is either already in
public ownership or is unde-
veloped." d
