Inter-Union Strife Looms For
 Alaska Shipping

SEATTLE, R-A move which may bring a new head-on clash between unions involved on West Coast ships-including those serv- ing Alaska-was reported yester- day.
 Organizers for the Information al Longshoremen & Warehouse mems Union moved onto West Coast ships in the Seattle area and began organizing the stew ards department crews. Alaska ships were the first targets.
 The move no doubt will precipi- tate a head-on clash between the ILWU, headed by Harry Bridges, and the Seafarers' International Union, headed by Harry Lunde- berg, backed by other AFL mari time unions, the Seattle Times said.
 The first ship visited by the ILWU organizers was the Denali, Alaska Steamship Co.,, passenger vessel. They said they signed up 39 Denali stewards Wednesday.
 The organizers said they signed 27 Thursday on another Alaska Steam passenger vessel, the Aleu- tian, and all nine stewards on the Lucidor, a freighter of the same line.

 20 Million Dollars

WHITTIER, R-Damage to the military port of Whittier, which virtually was destroyed by fire Wednesday night, will be in the vicinity of 20 million dollars, the port commander-Col. William H. BigeloW-estimated last night.

 A Japanese farmer said, "The huge bird came skimming over the trees by the highway Two of it's four propellors were not turning. Then it circled and crashed and exploded"
 Associated Press photographer Max Desfor reported from the scene.
 ''There were large pieces of the wreck still intact, including one twisted wing.
 ''One tangle of wreckage with an engine was jammed into a crumpled heap about 30 feet high.
 Tt looked as if the plane had come almost straight in."
 Associated Press correspondent Stan Carter, reporting from the scene, said sickened Air Force medics toiled under searchlights carrying broken bodies to ambu- lances across 100 yards of deep mud.
 "The scene was like something out of hell," Carter said.

Michaux Accomplishes Mission of Dropping
 Bible In Soviet Russia

Our mission is accomplished, :" beamed Elder Michaux of the Church of God of Washington, D.C., when he returned from a trip over the Boring Sea yester- day.
 Michaux and his party have been waiting for favorable wea- ther to drop a Bible written in Russian, at some favorable spot in the ocean to reach the Russian coast.
 The spot picked by Pilot Tosch, who took the party, was in the vicinity of St. Lawrence Island.
 Michaux said that one Bible, like one small seed, can spread a lot of Christianity behind the Iron Curtain to people who have been deprived of the privilege.
 On the way over herd of wal rus were seen and on the. return trip many whale were seen spout ing in the sunlight. They stopped at King Island where about ten skin boats loaded with residents of the island came out to the plane to see the teachers, MT. and Mrs. w. Rasmussen, take off. >

Rosenbergs To
 Be Executed At Sing Sing Today

WASHINGTON, tR-By a to 3 vote, the Supreme Court struck down today the legal barrier thrown up by Justice William O. Douglas against the execution of atomic, spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
 The decision could be the eli mactic one for the husband and wife who have waited on death row in New York's Sing Sing pri- son for two years while their fate was a battle issue in the courts of the US. and public opinion the world over
 Soon after the historic ruling was announced here, US. marshal William A. Carroll said in New York that p.m., tonight had been tentatively set for carrying out the death sentences.
 The lawyers who have battled doggedly for the Rosenbergs were still maneuvering, however, to save them.
 They filed motions with the full Supreme Court for 8 stay of exc cution for reconsideration of the decision which set aside the stay Douglas issued on Tuesday.
 They have pending, too, new petition that President Eisen- hover spare the lives of Rosen- berg, a 35-year-old engineer, and his wife, 37.
 Today's court decision rejected the argument of Douglas that there is substantial reason to ques- tion whether the Rosenbergs were tried under the right law.
 They were convicted and sen fenced under the espionage act of 1917, but Douglas said the courts ought to pass on the ques- tion of whether they should have been sentenced under the 1946 Atomic Secrets Act.
 The 6-man majority overturn- ing the Douglas stay was made up of Chief Justice Vinson and Justices Reed, Jackson, Burton, Clark and Minton.
 The minority consisted of Doug las, and Justices Black and Frank furter.
 Vinson's majority opinion was brief. It said the court does not doubt Douglas had the power to issue the stay in the first place.
 But the Chief Justice said the issue is whether a substantial question of law exists and he said the court believes in this case that answer is no.
 Douglas in his dissent declared:
 T know in my heart that I am right on the law"
 He added: ''No man or woman should go to death under an un- lawful sentence"
 In Congress, comment on the courts action was generally ap- proving.
