moved off from Smyrna Landing
about six o'clock in the morning

they weighed anchor for an hour
or more and finally left the fish
ermen of the party to try their
luck at angling, while the rest
sailed down to the bay to Bow

Magnetic Pole Discovery
Discounted by Canadians
By the Assoeioied Press

OTTAWA, Sept. 17.-Claims
by a Boston group that they
may have been first to reach
the North Magnetic Pole were
discounted here today. British
scientists reached the pole more
than century ago and others
have since.
Officials of the Dominion OBJ
servatory. commenting on the
claims Of the amateur mariners,
said the magnetic pole has been
reached on several occasions by
observatory parties.
Finding the shifting magnetic
pole has been the aim of many
scientific parties. Between 1918
and 1926, three different expedi-
tions selected restricted areas
within which the magnetic pole
was located.
In 1881, Comdr. James Ross
OF England established the mag
netic poles exact position. In
1904, Road Amundsen also To-
Gated the pole.
Since the 1920s, Canada estab-
hshed more than 1000 magnetic
stations and this work led up
to a 1867 expedition. headed
by Or. P. H. Serson Of the Do
minion Observatory, which PIN

ia former British foreign

rison said today the slogan mo

tionally gratifying but it is un-
realistic.
He ACKNOWLEDGED that his own
party is split on German rearm-
ament, but reaffirmed that its
official policy is that West Ger
many should contribute to West
tern defense in a way that would
prevent revival of a German
military menace.
Mr.. Morrison was speaking in
debate in the 15-nation Euro
pean Consultative Assembly on
what to do now that the French
have rejected the European De-
fense community treaty.
Mr.. Morrison added. that he
would not today offer an alter
native to "the great idea" of the
EDO, either in his own name or
that of his party.

Delegate John MaClay had ad-
vocated full membership for

|AFL Dockers 10 Ask
Pier Embargo Unless
Hirer Is Reinsiaied
By she A..oeic,ed Pres.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-THE
AFL dockers' union says it will
ask AFL truck drivers, seamen
and other waterfront affiliates
to embargo all New York piers
If one of the members is not
reinstated as an assistant hiring
bcSS.
The trouble stemmed yester-
day from the hiring and COM
pany-forced firing of John
Dwyer. former head organizer Of
the AFT. International Brother
hood of Longshoremen tIBLD.
Mr.. Dwyer was put to work
by Vincent Kacinskas, hiring
agent for the Grace Steamship
Line at Pier As.
TnsubOrdination Claimed.
The line. citing previous or
ders that there be no changes
in working personnel at the
pier, complained to the New
York-New Jersey Waterfront
Commission and said Mr.. Ka-
cinskas should be fired for in
slbordination.
MI. Dwyer was fired, and some
$50 AFL longshoremen walked
off the pier in protest. There
was no disturbance.
James Egan, IBL secretary
treasurer, said the union would
ask AFL headquarters in Wash
ington to direct other AFL trades
to embargo Immediately all piers
used by the New York Shipping
association.
Mr.. Egan, criticizing the COM
pany action against Mr.. Kacin-
skas and Mr.. Dwyer, said:
1T seems quite apparent that
where an AFL man is involved
the companies take forceful ac-
ton, but where the lila is in
volved they become disgusting
shells of men quaking before
contemplate hoodlums."
The LILA, the independent In
ternational Longshoremen's as
sociation. was ousted from the
AFL last September for failure
to rid its ranks of racketeers.

taken up at a conference in
formants said would be held in
London in about two weeks.
Representatives of the seven
West European nations are slated
to attend the parley. along with
the United States, Canada and
possibly Norway and Denmark.
If this conference produces
agreement. a special session of
the NATO council of foreign
ministers will be called to take
the decision on admitting the
Germans to the North Atlantic
alliance.
Both the United States and
France have withheld outright
backing of the proposal-but for
different reasons.
The United Stataes is fully be-
hind the idea of bringing a re-
armed Germany into NATO. But
Mr.. Dulles said in Washington
Wednesday he was reserving the
American position on Mr.. Eden's
bid to widen the 50-year Brus-
sells treaty. That pact, signed
before the Communist menace
was Europe's No. l problem, is
directed specifically at any new
German aggression. The United
States would want to see details
of the revised version. Mr.. Dulles
said.
Accepted by Premier.
Mr.. Mendes-France, on the
other hand, accepted the idea of
widening the Brussels alliance.
But Paris dispatches suggested
he laid down tough conditions
for French approval of Ger
many's entry into NATO.
Among them = firm British
American pledges not to pull
their forces out Of Europe and a
NATO guarantee that French
and German military parity
would be preserved.
Mr.. Dulles conferred for
nearly seven hours in Bonn last
night and today with Mr.. Aden-
auer on the knotty problem of
how to give the Germans SOW
ereignty without alienatin g
France.
If the current plan of action
ends in failure, both the United
States and Britain are reported
ready to go ahead with a West
German rearmament program
even without French approval.
Informants said this is the idea
they have in mind, but only as a
last resort: A direct military
partnership with West Germany
outside NATO, using the formula
OF the Balkan pact which links
two NATO members-Greece and
Turkey to Communist Yugo-
