Shipping Strike
In East Halted
Washington, Nov. 1 U.A
strike ot 2000 AFL deck officers
on S00 vessels plying the Atlan
tice and Gulf of Mexico scalanes
was narrowly averted late last
night by government Interven
tion.
A truce for at least one week
but more probably for 30 days-
was agreed upon an hour before
the AFL Masters, Mates and Pi
lots were to walk off passenger
and dry cargo vessels of the Jo
companies represented by the
American Merchant Marine In
stitute.
Federal mediators who step
ped into the dispute on Monday
weary from tussles with coal and
steel strikes, proposed the truce.
It was accepted to allow more
time for the parties to settle
their differences over hiring ar
rangements demanded by the
union, and 16 other contract Is
sues. The peace terms provided that
the union and the companies
each would consult their princi
pals by next Monday and either
side would be free to revoke the
truce by Tuesday noon. If the
extension of the contract was
agreed upon, It would continue
until December 16 at 12:01 a m
Eastern Standard Time.

Typhoon Sweeping
Caroline Islands
Tokyo, Japan, Nov. 16 UR A
typhoon with winds up to 115
miles per hour swept across the

Hot Battle
For Union Funds
Pittsburgh, Nov. 16 JPl The
battle for the funds and mem
bership of the United Electrical
Workers union, recently tossed
out of the CIO, grew hotter and
hotter today.
The struggle was pointed up
by new court tests and by two
direct appeals to the national
labor relations board.
One petition, filed by labor's
newest organization, the CIO
International Union of Electrical
Workers, called for collective
bargaining elections at 'all ma
jor electrical manufacturing
firms.
It was a direct challenge to
the left wing forces of the UE,
who have refused to admit the
right of any local, by no matter
how large a membership vote,
to secede from the parent group.
They claim this would be a vio
lation of the UE constitution.
Right wingers by the thou
sands, in a dozen states, have
voted for secession. In - most
cases they have instituted court
ction to seize local funds or
are defending similar suits
brought by left wingers.
The other appeal to the NLRB
came from Westinghouse Elec
trie Corp., which has about 50,
000 UE or ex-UE workers in its
plants. Westinghouse asked
NLRB to decide with whom It
shall deal the independent UE
or the new CIO-IUE.
War Widow
Asks Question
Lynn, Mass., Nov. 16 W) A
heartbroken war widow in an
open letter today pleaded with
the world to give her the right
answer for her 11-year-old son's
question, "Why did my daddy
have to die?"
Mrs. E. S. Goldstein widow of
Maurice Goldstein, who died
with Second armored infantry.
41st division on November 20,
1944, wrote the Lynn Item:
'On Wednesday evening, No
vember 9, my 11-year-old son,
Laurence, was waylaid by sev
eral large boys. These boys in
sulted, spat on, beat and kicked
my son into the gutter -because
he was, as they sneeringly said:
'a Jew.
"Ironically enough my son
was coming home from a Boy
Scout meeting a meeting at
which one of the watchwords, I
believe, is: 'A scout is reverent,
he is reverent toward others, he
is faithful in his religious duties
and respects the convictions of
others in matters of custom and
religion.'
'Maybe if he had run away
he would have been spared a
beating. But, being the son of
a veteran, killed in the service
of his country, he could do no
less than stick it out against un
fair odds and strike out against
injustice, even as his father did
before him.
"Perhaps if such Incidents
were brought to the attention of
the public there would be fewer
heartbreaks, like the one I men
tion. Maybe then too, I would
know the right answer to give
my son when he asks: 'Why did
my daddy have to die?' "
The item said the mother had
not reported the Incident to the
police but that the paper had
and the local chapter of B'nai
B rith was investigating the mat
ter.

Find Burgman
Guilty of Treason
Washington, Nov. 16 WPi Her
bert J. Burgman, 53, long a clerk
In the American embassy in
Berlin, was convicted late yes
terday of treason to his country.
Instead of coming home with
other diplomatic personnel when
the United States and Germany
went to war, Burgman remained
behind and become a radio pro
pagandist. He is a native of
Hokah, Minn.
Burgman faces a maximum
sentence of death, a minimum
penalty of five years in prison
and a $10,000 fine.
Federal Judge Alexander
Holtzoff, who received the jury's
verdict late yesterday, did not
indicate when he will pass sen
tence. If Burgman heard and under
stood the verdict branding him
as a traitor he gave no indica
tion.
Suffering from a heart ail
ment, he sat slumped in a wheel
chair when Jury Foreman Ho
mer R. Baker, a physicist em
ployed at the naval research
laboratory, announced the jury
had found Burgman "guilty as
charged."
Burgman s German wife and
his German-born son, Thbmas,
26, likewise showed no reac
tion. Both had testified in his
behalf.
The defense contended (1)
that Burgman was mentally in
competent when he made the
propaganda broadcasts and (2)
that he acted under duress.

"We should develop industries
here to process farm products,
and fabricate lumber thus cre
ating Jobs which offset November-March
layoffs and balancing
our economy."
The governor, an outspoken
opponent of a Columbia valley
administration, avoided men
tioning which agencies should
do the developing. "The valley
should be developed period,"
he said.
More Irrigation would in
crease farm revenue, too, Mc
Kay said. "We've no more farm
land in Oregon. The only way to
continue to increase the produc
tivity of farms is through In.
creased use of water."
The governor also urged cur
tailment of heavy government
spending, while retaining such
"reasonable" government pro
grams as social security.
McKay Urges
Development
La Grande, Nov. 16 UP) De
velopment of the Columbia riv
er valley's power and irrigation
possibilities, as a first step to
ward creating more Oregon in
dustry, was urged today by Gov.
Douglas McKay.
In a speech prepared for de
livery before the Oregon Farm
Bureau Federation convention,
the governor said development
of the river resources would pro
vide more jobs, and combat sea
sonal unemployment in farming
and logging.
"Oregon exports too much
timber and farm products in the
raw state," said the governor.
