Embargo on Air Freight oAIaska
Pile Up af Seattle Is Cause of Action But Is Only Temporary

SEATTLE, Sept. 15-An embargo on air freight to Alaska was an- nounced Friday by Northwest Air lines as 43,0O0 pounds of excess shipments damned storage space at Seattle Tacoma International Air port.
 The freeze" on northbound air freight will be effective this morn- ing. George E. Hatch, western re- goin sales manager, estimated it will take four or five days to clear the jam.
 Pan American World Airways re- stricted movement of perishables on its aircraft last Wednesday and Thursday due to a pile-up of air cargo.
 D. E. McMorran, district traffic manager. said Friday the clutter has been cleared away. We can op- crate four extra sections but we do not anticipate any backup the rest of September.
 Air Transport Associates. largest nonscheduled airline between Se' attle and Alaska is "very busy"
 Northwest's congestion resulted from two causes, Hatch said. One is that the Pacific airlift took DC-4 freighter reducing Northwests northbound capacity for the time being by l6,000 pounds day. The other is the airlift also took pilots Northwest otherwise might use to fly extra sections.
 McMorran said Pan Americans difficulties earlier this week re- suited mainly from heavy move- ments of cannery workers south from Juneau and Annette Island. Pan American is flying about 2,Ooo outside from September Ills.

 Smaller manufacturers probably will be governed by market condi- tions.
 The price jump likely will be in full effect by next week.
 Ford and Chrysler were in posi- LlOll u tllClh hOe~,So e&AAS time after today. New prices may become effective five days after be- ing applied for.
 Ford and Chrysler applied last Monday. They got approval from OPS yesterday. General Motors ap- piled yesterday. Approval is expected.
 Ford's increases range from $55 to $95, Chrysler's from 800 to $400. General Motors would be from about $60 to $208. This is span of from 25 percent to 6.5 percent.
 Higher retail prices were permit ted only on new cars. They may not be applied to cars already in possess sion of dealers.

Chamber Will Press for Hearing

The Juneau Chamber of Com- merce will continue to press for a Congressional investigation for the reclassification of Southeastern Alaska waters, Curtis Shattuck, head of a maritime committee, said today.
 We will have representatives at the Coast Guards meeting an- nounced for Oct. 24," he said, but until we get the necessary relief from current hamstringing regu- .latiotis, we viii continue o1a ef- forts to get the Congressional hear ing.'
 At a regular Chamber meeting Thursday it was stressed that the congressional hearing was de- sired-not one by the Coast Guard. Gov. Ernest Gruening who was leaving for Washington, D. c. promised to direct his efforts for the congressional action. Delegate E. L. Bartlett had previously prom ised such hearing could be ar ranged upon request.
 Yesterday the 17th district Coast Guard headquarters here announced that Coast Guard hearing would be held in Juneau Oct. "A flor the purpose of discussing matters per- taining to the maritime industry which are peculiar to Alaska, and over which the Coast Guard has jurisdiction, principally with re- spect to marine inspection and classification of the waters of Southeastern Alaska"
 Operators have long contended that the classification of these waters as "coastwise" and not inland have placed excessive burdens upon the operators of boats and barges, thereby thwarting the development of the region.
 The Juneau Chamber took a hand in the issue last May when the Chilkoot ferry was unable to continue operations due to strin- gent regulations. The Territory of Alaska subsequently, took over the ferry operation in order to pro vide Juneau with link to the Haines cutoff.

 Barrage, Korean War
Is Crashed Down in Six Week 'BatiIe of HiIIs;' Tremendous Fire
]. 8. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD

U. 8. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD QUARTERS, Korea. Sunday The heaviest artillery barrage on the six-week battle of the hills" crashed down on the North Korean Communists Saturday as Red in- fantry fought the United Nations almost to standstill on the wild mountain front.
 For "A hours, guns of an allied division poured high explosives. white phosphorus and time-used shells on die-hard Reds buried deep in log, stone and earth bunkers.
 Tremendous Fire
 The tremendous fire was called in as the allied command, weary of the Communists fanatical hill de- fense. decided to give the Reds a taste of fire-power before sending the allied infantry back to the at tack.
 The foot assaults of the past two days have been slowed and some what held up by Communist death stands that reproduced on smaller scale-the cave and pillbox battles of World War II in the southwest Pacific.
 Blazing Sector
 In the blazing sector north of Yanggu. where the hills sweep up from 2.50O to nearly 4,00O feet from narrow mountain valleys. the allied infantry managed to take one of several peaks but frankly failed to take the others. A large allied unfit found itself unable to take one ridge held by three Red regiments.
 No Permanent kebuffs
 These repulses. however, have never been permanent rebuffs for the LIN troops, but only phases in rbattlcs tliAt hive 30 far always sc6fi' the attackers eventually storm the crests-although sometimes only after several days or week or two
  of fighting.
 On the west-central front, allied troops with bayonets captured tra- tegic high ground northwest of Humhwa after two-hour hand-to- hand battle with Red troops.
 New Red
 The Red China radio charged the United Nations with new viola tions of the neutral zone at Kaesong. site of the suspended Korean arm- istice talks.
 The Peiping broadcast quoted a Communist correspondent in the Korean truce talk city as reporting the alleged violations occurred with in the past several days-since the allies admitted single mistaken air violation Sept 12.

The W ashington Merry Go Round

" VASHINGTON.-T more YOU look into the operations of the Chi na lobby, the more it is certain that the American taxpayers money, voted to help Chiang Kali Shek, was actually siphoned into the pockets of Chinese grafters and American middlemen.
 Some of these middlemen were suspiciously close to certain Sena- tors who consistently urged that more money be voted for Chiang Kai-Shek.
 Thus it's possible that debate on the floor of the United States Senate, one of the few free legis- 1ative bodies in the world, may have been influenced by dollars, not conviction. This may be why only a few brave voices such as Senators Morse of Oregon and McMahon of Connecticut have spoken out for a probe of the China lobby.
 One exception to this is Sena- tor Knowland, Republican of Cal ifornia, who, though vigorously pro-Chiang, stopped some of these deals when he smelled graft or unfair profits.
 For instance, here are the facts behind one deal that Knowland
