THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Postal Clerks to Train Officers
In Lobor-Monoqement Relations

gress, Chairman Cannon Of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee took the House floor to tell
his colleagues that Govern
ment employees are falling over
each other in every depart
ment."
In his speech Gliding the
House for voting excessive Fed
eral expenditures, Mr.. Cannon
had this to say to House mem
bers regarding Government
workers:
"You have today added to the
number Of Government en-
ployes when they are falling
over each other in every depart
ment. Competent men tell us
that If they only had one-third
the number Of employees in the
Pentagon, they could do better
work. This is true Of every de-
partment in the Government. "
Mr.. Cannon's speech is typi-
cal Of a great many economy
speeches along this line heard
in Congress throughout the
years.
But what makes Mr.. Can
mons statements so remarkable
is that he Is the chairman Of
the House committee which ini-
tiates all money bills in Con-
gress and is therefore reSpon-
sible for every employe who is
on the Federal payroll.
Therefore, If there is excess
sive Federal employment. the
blame in large part should go
to the House Appropriations
Committee and its chairman.
Presumably, however, Mr..
Cannon-a seasoned veteran Of
many years in Congress. who
is not easily fooled-as well as
his fellow m m bers of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee, must have felt that the
employment requests Of the
various Federal departments
and agencies were justifie d.
Otherwise, they would not have
voted the necessary funds.

the local union officers as well
as the officials of the various
installations, post offices and
other local Federal units know
the ms and outs of bargaining
procedures"
To this end, Mr.. Hallbeck
says it is incumbent on the
Government departments and
agencies to train Officials at the
local level also in the art OF
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT bargaining
procedures.
But Mr.. Hallbeck said his
union is going ahead regardless
in training its local officers
throughout the country in la
bor-management relations.
AS a first step, the unions
national officers will visit their
local officers in the various
cities and give them the bene-
fit of their advice and knowl-
edge.
The union also will pay for
the services of professional Ia
bor-management experts, uni
versity instructors in labor
matters, consultants and arbi-
traitors, who will lecture to the
local officers throughout the
country on the subject.
Finally, local officers will be
sent to school - night cases,
moStly-to learn more about
labor management procedures.
The local officers will attend
university and college classes
on labor management proceed
ures and problems. Financial
arrangements will be entered
into between the national union
and its locals to pay for this
schooling.
1t may well be that other
postal and Government en-
ploye unions will emulate the
UFPC in this high display of
union craftsmanship.

On the opposition side, there
was undisguised relief at the
news Mr.. Kennedy would moi
be coming. A reporter who WIS.,
tied Mr.. Nixon as recently as
last Sunday found him open
ly worried about the impact Of
the Presidents stumping.
Mr.. Nixon was fretting over
the possibility that his old an

Republican campaign momen-
tum to a peak in the last eight
days. He was busily contriv-
ing plans to restore G. o. P

Audible Relief
Now that threat has been re-
moved and the signs of relief
in the Nixon camp are audible,
AS for the impact Of the
Cuban crisis itself, both parties
were cautious in their guessing,
The initial public reaction to
the Presidents address was OBJ
viously one Of approval, but the
politicians know that mood can
be drastically affected by what
happens between now and cleo

in power.

Associated Press Specinl Seruice
 WASHINGTON R Alaska water freight rate increases asked last month by the Alaska Steam ship Go. were ordered suspended Tuesday pending an investigation by the Federal Maritime Com mission.
 The proposed increases, ranging from 10 toS20 per cent on certain Alaska shipments, would have gone into effect Thursday had the Board not acted.
 Sens. Ernest Gruening and E. l.. Bartlett were told the suspension is for the maximum of four months allowed by law. During that period the Board will in- vestigate the rate proposal.
 Tuesdays action concerns only the Alaska Steam proposal made last month. It does not affect d 10 per cent rate increase granted conditionally in January, 1860. Hearings have been held on that increase and recommendations of Ia Commission examiner are awaited.

CANADIAN SHIPS MAY
 PROVIDE PASSENGER SERVICE TO ALASKA

SEATTLE R - Seattle Port Commissioners took a tentative step yesterday toward possible re- vival of a passenger ship service to Alaska aboard Canadian flag vessels.
 The commissioners voted to com municate with various groups in order to assay community interest in restoring the passenger service.
 Since the Alaska Steamship Go. cancelled it's passenger service in 1854, persons wanting to go to Alaska by boat have had to go to Vancouver, B.C.
 Commissioner John Haydon said simple amendment to the Jones Act, which forbids the use of vessels of foreign registry to en- gage in inter-coastal trade, could permit carriage of passengers by Canadian ships.
 Haydon said Canadian lines have expressed interest in calling at Seattle for passengers and added that clause could be in serted in the federal amendment to compel withdrawal of Canadian vessels should a competitive American line decide to inaugu- rate such a service. The Commissioner said 5000 passengers made the trip from Vancouver to Alaska last year He estimated passenger potential
 out of Seattle at between 1l,O0t to 13,00O.

Japanese Agree to Confine Bering Sea Fishing To Bottom Fish

JUNEAU R -- Two Japanese fishing fleets to be sent into the Boring Sea and Gulf of Alaska will be under strict orders to limit their activities to bottom fish, the US. State Department has ad- vised the Alaska Chamber of Commerce.
 Don Dickey, general manager of the State Chamber, wrote Sec retary of State Dean Rusk last month, expressing concern that the two Japanese bottom fish trawl fleets would disturb estab- lished halibut and king crab stocks.
 Resentment from such Japan ese fishing activity, Dickey said, might "jeopardize Japanese-Alas- kan relations in other important fields such as timber and pulp, coal, iron ore, and liquified gas"
 In addition, Dickey said, Russia might follow Japan's lead, on economic grounds, and the Rus sians close to Alaskan shores "could pose problems for our De- fense Department as well as the State Department"
 ssIn answering Dickey, w. Her rington, special assistant for Fish cries and Wildlife in the State De- partment, said the Department was unable to obtain agreement l to defer the proposed Japanese operations.
 But, HIerrington said, the De partnnent did obtain assurances [ strict Limitations on the opers . tions which should reduce n ! tdanger to the stocks of halihut l importance to United States ifs
 ermen.
 II; Specifically, these are: CD Tn
 the licenses issued to the two @ lpeditions in question will be limi
 ed to experimental commercis

 halibut caught incidentally to tn ground fish operations will be re turned to the sea; and (3) tha the inspectors aboard the mother ships will be under orders to sniff to other fishing grounds when halibut or salmon are found inter mingling with bottom fish sought by the Japanese"

 Pray for us," the report said the priests called to the students as they marched to be machine gunned to death.

Public Works
 Wants $4 Million N or '62 Road Work

JUNEAU tA The State De- partment of Public Works said to- day 1t will have to ask the 1862 Legislature for a supplemental ap- pr0priation of $4,0O8, ,333 for the fiscal 1882 highway program.
 The additional funds will be needed because the full amount of anticipated savings from 1860 appropriation Of $4 million to pro- vide state matching funds under the federal aid highway program in fiscal 1881 has not material ized, Commissioner Richard Down iz19 said.
 The 1860 Legislature made two appropriations, $4 million in the general appropriation bill and $1, ,039, APT in separate measure.
 When the Congress revised the federal-state matching ratio from 86.09 and 1891 per cent to 94.59 and 5.41 per cent in September, 1860, savings Of s, GOA $50 in state funds was anticipated. x Highway funds based on this anticipated saving were asked when the 1881 appropriated nigh way funds for fiscal 1922.
