Trapping Interests
Alaskan Worker
' fr "
Before the Canyonville Boy
Scout trooD. William Reese relat
ed that he is impressed with the
Alaskan country ana, especially,
its trapping possibilities. He re
turned to Alaska Jan. 1 after vis
iting his wife and three children
at Canyonville.
Reese Is presently employed as
a heavy-duty welder and main
tenance man at the government
air base at Anchorage. He pre
viously worked on the Nome po
lice force.
Attired In the complete Eskimo
clothing pictured here, Reese de
scribed the attire to the group of
Boy Scouts. The coat is made
from coon skins which were trap
ped in Douglas county, he said.
He had it made before he went
north. After reaching his destina
tion he discovered it was inade
quate to withstand the low tem
peratures, so he had it rellned
by the Eskimos to meet the cold
about 40 degrees below zero.
The furs are turned down so as
to shed water and it is only nec
essary to shake the coat dry.
The parka hood was made from
wolf skin and was added in Alas
ka. The top half of the mucklets,
or shoes, are made of reindeer
skin. The bottom half is walrus
skin, which Reese says, the Eski
mo women chew to shape into
mocassins. The mittens are made
of dog skin, the palm being tan
ned leather. Inside these he
wears silk gloves to keep the cold
from penetrating.

Dispute Over Price Of
Milk Being Aired Here
(Continued from page One)
increase paid the farmer, without
a corresponding raise in retail
milk prices, would result in a
loss.
At present, farmers are being
paid $5.73 per hundredweight for
milk and consumers are being
charged an extra half cent. This
resulted from a temporary agree
ment Dec. 22 between disputing
factions who agreed to the above
price, pending a hearing which
was later set for today.
The milk dispute-hearing op
ened this morning at K of P hall.
Presiding over the hearing was

Capt. Crommelin

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11 (JP)
Captain John G. Crommelin,
the navy's arch foe of "army
dictation" of the armed services
unification, has extended his list
of potential Navy foes to include
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
At the conclusion of an address
to the Pacific Traffic associatio
of San Franciso, Crommelin ob
served last night that "I have
no quarrel with the rank and file
of the army or air forces."
"I do object strenuously to the
autocratic methods employed by
the general staff corps of the U.
S. Army in Washington," he add
ed. "I also abhor the Influence
which a powerful potential pre
sidential candidate in army uni
form, who did not and has not
declared his party affiliations,
could have on decisions of Con
gress." After the address, Crommelin
told a reporter he meant Eisen
hower. The former army chief of
staff was not named in the talk.

Coal Miners Ordered
Back On Three-Day Week )
(Continued from page One)
members of Congress that Presi
dent Truman act under the Taft.
Hartley law to restore full coal
nroductlon.
Mr. Truman has refused to con
sider the three-day production
week an emergency warranting
his intervention. But the full
strike by the 66,000 miners had
further curtailed production and
increased demands that the
White House step in.
Presumably, the miners will
jump to meet Lewis' suggestion.
From him it is the equivalent of
an order. And the miners have
never yet failed to follow their
chieftain's wishes.
Congress Act Too Late
From a production angle, the
strike Is now costing the nation
about four million tons of coal a
day. In Washington, senators
pored over means to legislate
away some of Lewis' power.
Ten senators sent a report to
the senate Judiciary committee
saying a bill forbidding labor to
monopolize control of industry
would stop the "usurpation and
abuse of power" by Lewis' recent
three-day work week decree.
Judging by usual practice, how
ever, a Judiciary committee
study of the situation would in
volve hearings and take much
time before resulting recommen
dations to the Senate.
Snator Ferguson (R-Mich) said
he would ask the senate to pass a W
resolution calling for the persl- f
dent to declare an emergency.
