Governor Asks
Aid Of Unions
SEATTLE, April 4 (P) With
ships being tied up in Alaska
ports, and some sailing unload
ed, Alaska's Governor Green
ing has asked the striking
unions for help.
The . governor yesterday ap
pealed to the northwest repre
sentative of the International
Longshoremen's and Warehouse
men's union (CIO) for postpone
ment of the longshoremen's
strike. He was advised that the
action of the Pacific coast lo
cals had "no bearing" on the
Alaska situation.
Gruening was told the strike
was "job action" to . enforce
payment of legal wage's under
government orders and contract
agreement.
Meanwhile, at Juneau, a
longshoremen's strike has de
layed the unloading of three
vessels, and one, the North Sea,
sailed for Sitka with 550 tons
of Juneau-bound freight, most
ly perishables, still aboard.
The ship is due back Friday
on its southbound trip and will
unload if the strike is settled.
The longshoremen have de
manded $1.72H per hour, with
$2.59 hourly for overtime work.

Group Approves
Housing Measure
WASHINGTON, April 4 UP)
Long range housing legislation,
aimed at a goal of 12,500,000
new homes in the next 10 years,
was approved unanimously to
day by the senate banking com
mittee. It provides easier government
loans and credits designed to
encourage construction by pri
vate industry and calls for con
tinued direct government aid
for low rent housing.
The long range plan is inde
pendent of the emergency leg
islation to provide homes for
veterans.
Chairman Wagner (D-N.Y.)
announced the committee, by a
7 to 4 vote, modified a provi
sion demanded by the AFL and
the CIO.
This was a clause requiring
that "the wages or fees prevail
ing in the locality" must be
paid on any construction done
with the aid of government
loans.
It was made inapplicable to
individual FHA-financed homes,
but was left insofar as public
and large scale housing con
struction is concerned.
