Non-Unionisls
To Unload
Ships
Honolulu, Aug. 13 W) Ha
waii's new waterfront boss told
the islands 54p,000 residents
last night the government would
begin unloading strikebound
ships early next week.
Harbor Manager Ben F. Rush
likewise told the striking CIO
international longsh o r e m e n's
union the territorial government
would brook no interference in
operating the seized docks.
Shortly before Rush spoke
in a radio broadcast, the strik
ing longshoremen met and unan
imously voted approval of a mo
tion condemning the "strike
breaking law." This referred to
the emergency act under which
the government seized the
struck stevedoring companies.
Rush said the hiring of 1,680
non-union men to work the
docks was progressing. He con
ceded the territory could not
control the threatened picketing
on the mainland of ships loaded
by government workers.
But he declared "we can and
will control the handling of car
go into and out of Hawaiian
ports."
That meant the emergency
law would be invoked it some
maritime unions carry out their
plans to walk off ships in Hawaii
out of respect to ILWU picket
lines.
The law provides for injunc
; tion action against interference
with government dock opera
tions. It also provides penalties
of a $500 fine and three months
in jail for interference.

Urges Speed for
Hoover Plan
Washington, Aug. 13 m Sen
ate leaders today stepped up ac
tion on two government reor
ganization plans after President
Truman tartly urged their ap
proval as a sign of good faith by
congress.
In a strongly-worded letter to
Vice President Barkley yester
day, Mr. Truman observed:
"The action taken on these
plans will demonstrate whether
the many recent professions of
support for increased efficiency
and economy in government are
to be taken seriously or are to
be written off as political ora
tory." The two proposals one to set
up a cabinet-rank department of
welfare, the other to transfer
two employment agencies from
the federal security agency to
the labor department have re
ceived thumbs-down treatment
from the senate expenditures
committee.
The president said senate ob
jections to the plans "appear to
me to be ill-founded and mis'
taken." And he added that con
gressional failure to approve the
proposals would emperil "the
whole great endeavor" of gov
ernment reorganization.
Senate Democratic Leader Lu
cas (ill.) announced yesterday
that he will set aside the money
bill for the interior department
to take up the welfare depart
ment reorganization plan on
Tuesday.
Holds Alaska
Defenseless
Washington, Aug. 13 (U.R)
Gov. Ernest Gruening of Alaska
has warned congress that the ter
ritory is defenseless and "could
be taken tomorrow by a minor
scale airborne invasion."
In a telegram to Sen. Lester
C. Hunt, D., Wyo., Gruening said
he considered it "unbelieveable"
that congress has deferred action
on a $137,738,712 defense auth
orization for Alaska.
This inaction by congress, he
said, is "perpetuating Alaska as
America's Achilles heel."
He pointed out that Alaska,
only 54 miles across the Bering
Straits from "our police state
neighbor," was the only part of
North America
invaded in
World War II.

West Germans
Vote on Sunday
Frankfurt, Germany, Aug 13
(U.R) Germans who had been
held as war prisoners in Russia
broke, up two communist elec
tion rallies today and beat one
speaker so severely he was re
moved on a stretcher.
An estimated 20,000,000 voters
in the three western zones of
Germany will go to the polls to

prisoners rushed the platform at
a communist rally and attacked
the speaker. The crowd dispers
ed.
There was no violence at the
communist rally in nearby Ben-
theim, but a single former war
prisoner in tattered garments
pushed away a communist orator
and shouted to the mob:
"No body dare tell us P. W.'s
anything about Russia. This is
the way Soviet Russia released
We know the situation there
only too well."
He said the rags he wore had
been given him in Russia when
he was about to be repatriated.
The election will choose the
400 members of the lower house

Admitted Slayer
Awaits Trial
Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 13 fP)
Anxious to "get this thing
straightened out," the admitted
slayer of an elderly Tacoma
couple waited in the Pierce
county jail today for his first
degree murder trial.
The 33-year-old ex-convict,
John Edward Summers, was re
turned here yesterday from San
Francisco where he was arrest
ed by the FBI last week in a
rooming house.
His capture ended a ' 19-day
coastwlde search that was
touched off by the discovery of
the bullet-pierced bodies of Mr.
and Mrs. Howard Easley in the
woods 18 miles east of Enum
claw. Summers admitted the double
slaying when brought before a
U. S. commissioner in San Fran
cisco, but he contended the shoot
ing was accidetnal. He had been
living with a benefactress near
the Easleys.
Sheriff's Capt. John Kendersi,
one of the three officers who
brought Summers north, said
the Washington state prison pa
rolee was quiet and agreeable
during the trip.
"His only comment was that
he wanted to get this thing
straightened out," Kendersi said.

British Aviatrix
In Greenland
Halifax, N. S., Aug. 13 (P)A
pretty British housewife neared
the end of a globe-circling flight
today, after piloting her little
plane from Laborador to Green
land in defiance of Canadian air
regulations
Mrs. Richarda Morrow-Tait, 26
made the 700-mile flight with
her navigator yesterday. Only
two more overwater hops from
Greenland to Iceland to Britain
stand in the way of fulfilling
her dream of being the first wo
man to pilot a single-engined
plane around the world.
Canadian aviation authorities,
who had forbidden the transat
lantic flight as unsafe for single
engined civilian planes, had
ordered Mrs. Morrow-Tait to fly
back to Bangor, Me.
She took off at 7 a. m. (est)
yesterday, ostensibly for Bangor,
then changed course and landed
six and one half hours later at
Bluie West one, the U. S. air base
in southern Greenland.
Canadian officials said Mrs.
Morrow-Tait was now outside
Canadian jurisdiction. They
would not speculate on whether
the British woman would have
further trouble with U. S. auth
orities at the Greenland base.
Waiting in England for the
world flier are her husband and
two-year-old daughter. She saw
them last on Aug. 18, 1948, when
she took off on her eastward
trip,
She had hard luck most of the
way. Her little plane hit a ditch
in Marseilles, Frances, and had
engine trouble at Calcutta, India.
Last November the plane crash

Dry Spell Cuts
Into Crop Yield
Portland, Aug. 113 W) A Julv
dry spell cut into Oregon crop
prospects, the Federal Crop Re.

Late frost damage also show-
ed up, especially 1 n Klamath I!
basin potatoes. c'
The Crop Reporting service :
said yields will be down in i
spring wheat, rye, flaxseed, po- t v
tatoes, dry peas and hay. Un- f
changed were earlier estimates
for winter wheat, oats, barley '
and hops. Jk
The wheat harvest was estl-. i

bushels. This was down 6 per
cent from the Jluly 1 estimate
and 12 per cent under the 1948
