Stevedores Walkout;
Nation's Ships Tied Up
NEW YORK, Nov. 12—(AP)—A complete tieup of the na
tion’s shipping industry became almost a certainty last night.
At 12:01 A. M. (EST) today a walkout by AKL stevedores
will officially begiji in all harbors from Maine to Virginia. Sev
eral thousand already had quit.
The action follows the overwhelming rejection of 65,000 East
V^UdbL UULK WUIKClb UII cl pi U
posed wage settlement, Joseph
P. Ryan, president of the Inter
national Longshoremen’s Asso
ciation, said.
Gulf Coast stevedores have
pledged to follow the lead taken j
by the East Coast workers.
This would make a three-coast
shipping walkout since West Coast
CIO longshoremen have been on
strike several weeks.
Despite the threatened paralysis
of all the nation's normal shipping,
Ryan told newsmen Marshall Plan
shipments to Europe and Army car
goes “will go" and New Yorkers
need not “worry” about food. He
did not amplify.
A New York port official, how
ever, said Marshall Plan shipments

Dry Cleaning Prices Not High;
Comparable With Other Cities
By Steve Loy and Chuck Grell
A survey has revealed that the
high price of dry cleaning in Eu
gene is not an abnormal situation.
Prices are in line with those of other
Oregon cities.
Ed Siegmund, owner and opera
tor of Best cleaners, cooperated in
the survey by obtaining price lists
from other cities in the state. With
minor exceptions, the prices com
pare favorably with those in Eu
gene.
Siegmund attributed the gener
al high prices of cleaning to the rise
in costs of overhead and labor.
Prices in Eugene are stabilized
through the Eugene Cleaners asso
ciation, Siegmund said, and are the
same in downtown Eugene and
Springfield.
“I feel that prices are not any
higher here than at other shops in
the state,” he stated. “The stud
ents are fortunate in having good
service at reasonable prices so close
to the campus.”
A price list received by Siegmund
from the Independent Cleaners and
Dyers of Portland showed that some
Portland prices are lower than those
in Eugene, but that delivery charges
are lower in Eugene. Siegmund
said that one Portland association's
cleaning prices were 10 to 15 per
cent higher than those here.
He said that Salem prices were
cheaper than those here, and that
Corvallis may charge less. A price
list from Albany showed prices that
were the same as these charged
here. Another price list from Sea
side revealed prices from 10 to 20
per cent higher than those charged
in Eugene shops.
Siegmund said he believed that
prices in Klamath Falls and Rose
burg are higher than those being
charged here.
Erika Mann
US Policy
Declares Foreign
Stand Not Sound
Erika Mann, noted author
and lecturer, declared in a radio
interview yesterday that she
doubted that the United States
foreign policy is sound.
She was interviewed by Norm
Lamb on tape recording Thurs
day afternoon and the tape was
presented as part of the “Universi
ty Hour” presentation of the radio
studios.
Asked by Lamb if she thought
our present foreign policy is a good
one, she replied:
“I do not think so. I think our
present foreign policy is very dan
gerous. She added that if we con
tinue our present policy against
Russia the whole thing might ex
plode in our face.
She considered the new adminis
tration a “hot potato” adding that
it was very fortunate that the ex,
ecutive and Congress are of one
party. This she said, should provide
for more harmony in government
than we have had previously.
The European recovery program,
she described as very complex ami
involved and mainly for the purpose
of fortifying our military, political,
and economic interests in Europe.
Miss Mann spoke in McArthur
Court Thursday night on the sub
ject of the German occupation..
