ARR READY TO FLY EXPLOSIVES NORTH
 IF ITS NECESSARY

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Jan. 6-iR Manager J. P. Johnson said to- day the Alaska Railroad would con- tinue to operate despite Coast Guard restrictions on handling of explosives.
 Johnson returned yesterday from hearings at Juneau.
 "If explosives cannot be obtained by any other better method" John son said, then the railroad is pre- pared to fly them to the Territory.
 Johnson said the Coast Guard proposed anchoring explosive-laden ships offshore and discharging cargo with barges and tugs rather than bringing vessels alongside docks.
 Such a system" he said. would cost the railroad $500 a ton to handle explosives. Further, tugs and barges of the number and type required are not available at Alaskan ports"
 The Alaska Railroad relies heavily on explosives to keep it's mainline from Seward to Fairbanks open. Officials said dynamite and blasting powder are the only effective means of combating slides and glacial action.
 The railroad uses more than 100 tons of explosives in a normal year. in severe winters often double that figure.

WASHINGTON = Inside reason why new railroad strike is brew ing despite the supposed settle ment" announced to the public last month is friction between the rail- road brotherhood chiefs and likable, gladhanding White House Assistant John Steelman.
 The problem of avoiding strike in the long, drawn-ou railroad dis pute is one of the toughest in the nation. But things have become so tense between Steelman and the brotherhoods that they have sent word to Secretary of Defense Marshall recommending that Steel man be replaced with topflight mediator such as Cyrus Ching or Anna Rosenberg.
 What fred them was first of all sentence they discovered in strike agreement memorandum which they negotiated after a grueling, all- night session at the White House last month. The line read: If the parties cannot agree on details or agreement or rules, they shall be submitted to John R. Steelman for a final decision"
 This, brotherhood chieftains in- terpreted, meant that Steelman would have a three-year job as a rail negotiator whether he re- mained on the White Houe staff or not.
 Another thing that fred them was Steelman's tactics in propos- ing that the two sides write down the points of near-agreement and take them home as a basis for
