counterparts in the flimsy,

The Air Force gave no details
Of Mr.. Rickenbacker's request.
But a reliable source said a

anna Canal Zone, had provided
the Air Force with old records
proving Mr.. Rickenbacker had
downed 9th enemy plane in

which normally are shipped in
summer anyway. But nobody
can prevent the Seaway ports
from coveting those expensive
loads Of general cargo ina
chinery and canned goods, for
example. which are far more
profitable.
Ice-Free Dream
Ice, plainly, spells major trou-
BILE for the Seaway. And ship
ping volume will suffer until
that problem is solved-if it
can be solved. Consequently.
some Of the Seaway's most en-
thusiastic hackers are dream
ing Of the day when atom
generated heat or some similar
agent will keep the waters open
all year long.
A serious problem of a differ
ent sort is ambitious Jimmy
Hoffa. president of the Team
sters Union. who entertains vi
sions of an international trans
portation union embracing
truckers. rsilroaders, seamen
and longshoremen.
Since the Seaway is new, 1t
offers the Teamsters and their
friends major opportunity for
organizing. despite the presence
there Of already established
unions. AS a consequence, Sea-
way officials are afraid the
waterway may become a battle
ground instead of an avenue
for commerce.
Other labor leaders. more
over. are unhappy about un-
settled matters of jurisdiction
in various ports. That kind of
trouble usually leads to strikes
"a luxury the Seaway can lit
tie afford in its infancy.
Accident Problem
In the meantime, Seaway Of
f1cials are up to their necks in
problems of keeping the Sea-
way open from day to day. A
rash of accidents have already
marred the record Of Seaway
channel operations, and traffic
has been jammed so deep
awaiting passage through the
Welland Canal. officials had
thought it would be adequate
until 1868.
Lewis G. Castle. Seaway
Corp. administrator, faces up
to these problems frankly.
I'VE didn't expect it to run

But the scope of the Seaway,

The roads have two alterna-
