Longview News
Continues issues
Longview, Wash., Doc. 30 U.R)
The Longview Daily News
continued publication in photo
engraved form today as the AFL
International Typographical Un
ion printer strike entered the
second day.
Publisher John M. McClelland
said the edition today would be
composed of nine pages of
photo-engraved material and
one page of comics.
ITU pickets patrolled in front
of the newspaper plant but
pressmen and other employes of
the publication walked through
the line and reported for work.
The 16 printers struck yester
day in support of demands for
wage increases. The union asked
a 45-cent hourly wage boost re-
troactive to Oct. 1, 1947. This
would give them a $2.10 hourly
wage scale.
McClelland said there had
been no further meetings be
tween the newspaper and union
and said no further discussions
were planned for the immediate
future.
He said "the printers are off
the job and so far as we're con
cerned they are no longer con
sidered employes of the news
paper." The Daily News has a circula
tion of 15,000 daily and publish
es six days a week.

Slorm Victims
Reach Manila
Manila, Dec. 30 (P Twentv
four bedraggled survivors of the
motorship Kina, victim of a
Christmas day typhoon, and a
young American couple who also
were victims of the storm, ar
rived by plane today.
All will undergo complete me
dical checkup, then rest.
The two besides the Kina sur
vivors are Lyn Hall, 27, of New
ton, Mass., and Mrs. Hall, whose
family lives in Corvallis, Ore.
The Halls were picked up by
the Luzon Stevedoring company
tug. Runner, from a small native
outrigger after their landing
barge had been lot in the
storm. They operate a small
lumber concession in northern
Samar and had spent Christmas
night at Malaga after their
barge sank.
A 20 foot tidal wave smashed
the shore while they were in the
Filipino fishing village. As soon
as the sea subsided they set out
for their home in the outrigger
and were picked up by the Run
ner, which was patrolling for
Kina survivors.
Men on the Kina and others
from the area where the Danish
motor vessel went down after
striking on rocky Camandag
island in the Samar sea, said
today that hope was virtually
extinct that any of the 34 still
unaccounted for would be found
alive.
Seventeen of the crewmen
who were rescued had to swim
ashore.
Survivors said Assistant Engi
neer Henning Weywandt, who
was lost with the Kina, was
heard to say after the crash: "It
is no use for me. I can't swim."
Weywandt's body was buried
yesterday at Calbayog, Samar
island, where the rescued were
taken by the Norwegian freight
er Samuel Bakke.
Farm Receipts
Soar to Record
San Francisco, Dec. 30 W)
Cash receipts from farm mar
ketings in the 11 western states
soared into new high ground in
the first 10 months of this year,
reaching $3,994,471,000. This
was $500,000,000 above the sim
ilar neriod of 1946.
Each of the 11 states partici
pated in the increase, figures
from the bureau of agricultural
economics show, with the big
gesl gain in Colorado.
The Rocky mountain state's 10
month total was $403,360,000
jump of $108,786,000 above last
year.
Lower returns from crops
were reported for both Arizona
and California. Increases from
livestock and products, however,
more than balanced the losses so
that these states showed gains
over 1946.
California ranked first in the
western regional group with a
10 month total of $1,707,897,000.
Washington was second with
$491,721,000, Colorado third
with $403,360,000, Montana
fourth with $298,307,000 and
Oregon fifth with $291,916,000.
Wallace to Run
(Continued from Page 1)
Wallace's announcement
brought a statement from Sen
Glen H. Taylor (D-Idabo) that
he is considering the possibility
of running for vice president on
a ticket headed by Wallace.
The former vice president,
who was elected with President
Truman in 1940 and then drop
ped in favor of Harry Truman
in 1944, said "thousands of peo
ple" had asked him to "engage
in this great fight."
The Progressive Citizens of
America (PCA) and the new
Progressive party of Chica
go had suggested that Wallace
enter the race. In addition, a
Wallace spokesman said that
persons from 18 states and the
District of Columbia had made
a similar request yesterday. The
decision of the PCA to endorse
Wallace last week caused resig
nation of two of the organiza
tion's top officers.
The announcement brought
immediate response from politi
cal leaders In the United States
and Great Britain.
Senator Pepper (D-Fla) said
he regrets Wallace "cannot be
fighting the liberal battle
and for prosperity and peace
inside the democratic party.
Senator Knowland (R-Calif)
said Wallace's campaign "will
have a considerable adverse ef
feet on the democratic party not
only in California but also in
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan and possibly one or
two other states."
Senator Capper (R-Kans) pre
dicted Wallace will be "a weak
third man in the race." Senator
McCarron (D-Nev) said Wallace
"goes into this knowing full well
he has no chance whatsoever
except perhaps to vent his
spleen against President Tru
man." Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lee and

Public Works
(Continued from Page 1)
"Quite apart from the possible
need for public works to stabi
lize the construction cycle and
help bolster the business cycle,
we need more advance planning
merely to assure an orderly flow
of public construction in pros
perous times like the present."
The "effective shelf of plans
now, he said is equivalent to lit
tle more than one year's work
at the 1947 rate. Contracts let by
state and local governments dur
ing the first nine months of 1947,
he added, amount to $1,600,000,-
000.
He told Mr. Truman the need
for public works has been grow
ing since 1930 and at the end of
last June there was a backlog of
$19,900,000,000 in prepared pro
posals for specific projects.
This figure includes jobs at
every level of planning and de
sign up to the point, of actual
construction, he said, adding:
"This awareness is encourag
ing, until we look a step furth
er and compare these very sub
stantial figures with the volume
of plans that are completed,
blueprinted and ready for the
contractor.
"Here the gap between prom
ise and performance between
recognized needs and completed
plans is dangerously wide As of
June 30, 1947, the value of all
completed state local plans
(both with and without federal
assistance) totaled only $2,400,
000,000. This was only $200,000,
000 more than the comparable
total on Dec. 31, 1946. And all
the gain occurred in planning
carried out with federal advan-1
ces, the dollar volume of plans
completed without federal help
showed a net loss from the com
parable total of six months ear
lier." Byron Johnson Leads

ThiefSfealsSlOO
In House Cafe
Washington, Dec. 30 (UR) A
thief stole about $100 in bills
from an open safe in the office
of the house of representatives
restaurant early today, but
passed up an additional $450.
The money was in two small
cash boxes in the office safe.
The safe was not locked during
the night. The office door was.
Capt. William J. Broderick
said the thief apparently en
tered the office after it was
opened at 6:04 a. m., by Char
les M. Peer, restaurant receiv
ing clerk, so it could be clean
ed. Brorierick said the thief ap
parently grabbed $100 m bills
from one of the cash boxes and
fled without touching $100 in
silver in the same box or an
other $350 in the second box.
A hnrt tim nftrtr Poor nrxtn-
ed the office, Mrs. Dorothy
vtict.v, tdsiiit-r hi me iiuuse res

the office to get her cash box,
which Is used in making change.
She discovered the loss after
she returned to the coffee shop.
Broderick said nothing else
in the safe was touched. The
office had been locked at 5
p. m., yesterday and it was evi
dent that the door had not been
forced.
Capitol police called in fin
gerprint men from the metro
politan police force to look for
possible prints.

licking Mr. Truman and to
spend the following years pick
ing up some of the main pieces
for themselves. But not all of the
new deal coalition will be going
along with AVallace.
Principal units of organized
labor will oppose him. The CIO
Political Action Committee said
in a statement that its policy has
been "not to support a third par
ty in 1948."
The anti-communist, new deal
organization known as Ameri
cans for Democratic Action
strongly repudiated Wallace's
move. The organization, backed
by stand-out veterans of the late
FDR's new deal, including Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt, said there
was "overwh e 1 m 1 n g evidence
that the communists are the ma
chine behind the third party."
Wallace has accepted the no
mination later to be formally
tendered of several loosely af
filiated left wing organizations.
The only organized political par
ties back of him so far are the
communists and the progressive
party of Illinois, which was born
this year in Cook county and
embraces Chicago.
