ILWU Substitutes New
Wage Demands for
Hawaii Stevedores
HONOLULU, UP)—The Interna
tional Longshoremen’s and Ware
housemen’s Union Tuesday with
drew all previous demands in
wage negotiations for Hawaii
stevedores, and its president, Har
ry Bridges, substituted two offers.
He asked management to offer
a wage increase abbve the six
cehts an hour amount awarded
West Coast stevedores by an ar
bitrator, or offer 11 cents with the
privilege of reopening wage talks
within six months.
The union originally demanded
11 cents an hour over the present
$1.94 hour basic wage. This was
boosted to 22 cents after the Com
munist conspiracy conviction of
Hawaii LWU leader Jack Hall.

Visitors to Nome
Even though the Wien visitors
flights from Fairbanks to Nome
via the Arctic Circle and the In
ternational Dateline route arrived
in the late afternoon Sunday, a
large group from six different
states enjoyed the Anvil Mountain
bus tour and the taking of pic
tures.
Among these very interesting
visitors were several who never
ceased to ask for information
about Nome in particular and
of Alaska. Dr. and Mrs. A. Treat
of Olympia, Wash., informed the
NVA they had a most enjoyable
trip. They said the service aboard
the Alaska Steamship Denali was
“super” and that all meals were
excellent. They described the
coastal and interior scenery as
superb and said only above Wales
and Bering Straits could the Iron
Curtain country of Russia be seen
—this sight well worth the ex
tensive trip to the Arctic.
This sentiment was voiced by
all of Monday’s visitors. A former
U.S. District Attorney of New
York, Oliver E. Mosser, was high
ly interested in early-day Nome.
Mr. Sherman Balinger of Bal
inger Bros,., Windfall, Indiana, ac
companied by his good pal Ar
thur W. Berger, were just two
boys north on an Arctic rampage,
the first to photograph interesting
subjects using “stereo color” films.
Their wives were not along, be
lieving that Alaskan mosquitoes
were also on a rampage.
Mr. Thomas A. Gavin, manager
of Eielson Air Field Civilian Club
and Mr. Dermot O’Sullivan, Arc
tic Alaska Towing Co., Anchor
age, were Alaska visitors.
Mr. H. A. Otier, freight depart
ment of the Great Northern Rail
road headquarters, Superior, Wis.,
extended his Arctic trip right up
to the top of the continent, where
his daughter, Miss Mary Otier,
ANS nurse, is stationed. He states
that Barrow is a most interesting
village — two shows and much
dancing.
Other visitors were Mr. and

House Ways and Means
Loses to Administration
In Excess Profits Issue
WASHINGTON, OR—-The Eisen
hower administration, after weeks
of bitter bickering, appeared yes
terday to have cleared the legis
lative trail for a six-month ex
tension of the Excess Profits Tax.
Working desperately behind the
scenes, the adminisration’s forces
stamped out a stubborn rebellion
in the House Ways and Means
Committee, out-maneuvering the
chairman, Daniel A. Reed (R-NY>
who had raised a blockade against
action on. the bill.
And thus tbey dramatically av
erted, literally at the last minute,
an expected showdown House
battle over a drastic move to by
pass the proud old tax-writing
committee.
House leaders joined Republi
cans and Democrats on the com
mittee Tuesday in voicing firm
conviction that the tax extension
would have relatively easy sailing
now. The committee roadblock
had been the big obstacle; both
the House and Senate appeared
likely to okay in extension if it
came to a vote.
78-YEAR-OLD & GRANDSON
GO ON SCOOTER SPREE
BOULDER, Colo., UP)— A 78
year-old grandfather took his 11
year-old grandson riding on a
motor scooter Monday. Both
wound up in a hospital.
The scooter went out of control
on a hill and overturned near
'Lafayette, east of here. Grand
father Jim McGinn of Boulder
was cut and bruised. Grandson
Jim Logan suffered a possible
broken arm.
Mrs. Frank Nissen, Esparte, Cal
ifornia; Mr. and Mrs. Paul Jarvis,
Seattle; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kim
brough, Spring Hill, Alabama.
The Kimbroughs, who know
their Gulf of Mexico waters, are
thrilled with the knowledge of
having first-hand contact with
the waters of the Arctic Ocean
and Bering Sea.

Lusitania Salvage Hinted
ROSSLARE HARBOR, Ireland,
liP)—Salvage ships are fitting out
here for another trip to the At
lantic’s “ships’ graveyard” — a
100-mile stretch off the Irish
coast, where in two wars German
U-boats claimed more than 150
victims.
The salvage men are looking
for valuable lead, copper and
steel. One unconfirmed report said
they may try for the cargo of the
Cunard liner Lusitania, torpedoed
in 1915 with the loss of 1198 lives.
