Threat Of Tie-Up Of Cargo Seen PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 21 (') Threat of a tie-up of nil cargo loading in the port here was seen today after the Waterfront Em ployers association issued an ul timatum to cargo checkers that officers of the CIO affilintcd un ion said they would ignore. A loading dispute originated a month ago between the Super Cargo and Checkers' union and the Americnn Hnwaiin,, Qtnnm. ship company over the number i tnecKcrs to oe nireel lor two ships. The Amarillo Victory has since departed without its Port land cargo, but the Boise Victory has been berthed since January 27 waiting cargo. R. E. Ferguson said the Water front Employers association he manages set 5 p. m. today as a deadline for the Checkers union to either work ships as directed or arbitrate their grievances ac cording to their contract. Other wise, he said, the Waterfront Employers would cancel its con tract with the Checkers' union. General Tib-ud Union spokesmen said such ac tion would probably precipitate a general tie-up. R. .1 Wnlf nricirfont nf tl, Checkers' union now affiliated with the 'International Long shoremen's and Warehousemen's lininn. S!l fho cilltntlnn urno complicated by a chanRe of un ion affiliation since the dispute originated. He said the checkers refused to direct lnndinp fhn narttn r iht Amarillo because only two cnecKers were assigned to the ship, although it was the practice of the Dort to have one man fnr each hold. "Walking bosses" would not direct loading, he said. ano longsnoremen refused to work without supervision. A plant to manufacture syn thetic gasoline and diesel oil from natural gas is being con structed in Texas.

OUMU QlJILLIGM Harry Says Production To Hit Peak WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 Oil President Trumnn expressed be lief today that protluctlon and distribution will hit Us postwar peak before long it everybody works and cooperates. He told his news conference that he had hoped last fall that restoration of full civilian pro duction would have been achieved by now. Asked what ho thouulit of uresent economic conditions, he said he always was optimistic uud lie still Is. He said that an order recon stituting the office of economic stabilization would be Issued soon. He attributed delay in lis issuance to the necessity of work- out details. This order Is a part of tho new program under which he shook up his top stabilization command and established a new wage price policy.

Meanwhile the government opened the way today for'scltlo merits In scores of labor disputes left hanging for a week by pay provisions of the new wage-price policy. S t a b 1 lizatlon Administrator John C. Collet postponed until March 15 tho effective date of tho rule that wage increases must be approved in advance by the national wage stabilization board. White House officials said many employers hud balked at signing wage agreements before the federal approval machinery was ready because of fear that they thus might forfeit perma nently their right to make the wage boost the basis for claim inn a price increase. 'Shotgun Squads' Crime Deterrent PORTLAND, Feb. 21 (I1) Chief of Detectives James Flem ing credited the new roving "shotgun squads" today with put ting a crimp in the city's crime wave. The squads, tourine the city during night hours, "have sim ply made crime difficult," Flem ing said. "The. mental handicap alone of never knowing when one of these cruising squads might show up has been a strong detriment to crime." The best accomplishment, he said, has been preventing crim inals from action by picking them up on charges of "after hours" a city ordinance which enables police to arrest anyone out late at night. - Most wild mammals are far-sighted.
