Hawaii Plans To
Outlaw Unions'
Dock Interference
HONOLULU, Aug. 12. i&y
Hawaii' senate today worked on
a bill that would outlaw union
interference with government op
eration of docks crippled by a
104-day strike.
The attorney general's office
offered amendment clearing up
constitutionality of the prosposed
law. If it passes the Senate it
will be sent to the territorial
House of Representatives.
Under the proposed law, strikes
and picketing against the gov
ernment would be outlawed.
The bill is the outgrowth of
costly CIO International Long
shoremen's and Warehousemen's
union strike in the islands. The
union seeks a pay hike from $1.40
an hour to $1.72 an hour.
The legislature earlier author
ized the governor to seize the
struck dock for government op
eration. The proposed law would ban
secondary boycotts and union
"hot cargo" action against gov
ernment operations.
The 2.000 striking union mem
bers are expected to '.est th?
validity of the law. If it is passed,
in an early court action.
Territorial Governor Stainback
has ordered the seizure of facili
ties of seven struck stevedoring
companies. The Islands govern
ment is now employing men to
work ships expected here from
the gulf coast.

A report that Mrs. Harry S. Tru
man was among notables who
received deep freezers from a
concern figuring tn the Senat's
"five percenter' inquiry today
brought this reply from presiden

"I have no information what

Ross was told a news story

"I know nothine whatever
about that, either,' Ross said
when the other names were men
tioned.
Vinson left a White House cab

and told reporters that since the
senate investigation committee
is making an inquiry, "I believe
1 prefer that the matter be de

I feel I ought not to make anv

said and then quipped, "but I
wish I had one now in the middle

The matter of the deep freeze
units entered the hearing yester
day when a Milwaukee business-

nothing brought out at the in

opinion of Vaughan in the slight

first reaction of Senator Mc
Carthy (R.-Wis.), a member of
the investigating group.
When today s hearing resumed,
McCarthy followed up that com

By EDDIE GILMORE
MOSCOW. Aug. 12.-CP)
Soviet Russia denounced the
Yugoslav government today as
an enemy of the Soviet Union
and charged that Premier Mar
shal Tito's regime more and more
is throwing in Its lot with the
west.
This sweeping Soviet attack,
made public by the Moscow radio
was contained In a Russian note
to Yugoslavia.
The note stated that Tito's re
gime as early as April, 1947, had
been willing to abandon its basic
claims tor Austrian territory as
compensation for war losses, but
wished tu shift the responsibility
for the decision to the Soviet
government.
The note was the fourth In a
series of bitter diplomatic ex
changes Between Moscow and Bel
grade over what the Yugoslavs
regarded as Russia's abandonment
of Yugoslav territorial claims at
the recent Big Four foreign min
isters conference in Paris.
(Although Tito and the Krem
lin have been at odds for more
than a year, the note marked the
first time that Russia had used
the term "enemy" in referring
to the Yugoslav government.
(Diplomatic observers in Lon

outbreak of name calling signal
ed a sharper Soviet policy against
the Tito government.
