Airlines Plan
Emergency Air
Lift To Alaska
SEATTLE, UP—Four scheduled
airlines serving Alaska from Se
attle have completed operations
plans for establishment of an
emergency air lift to Alaska in
event of any interruption to nor
mal surface transportation.
Frank J. Macklin of Washing
ton, D.C., representing the Air
Transport Association of America,
has been named director.
Macklin would have over-all
control, aided by technical ad
visers from the participating car
riers, Alaska Airlines, Northwest
Orient Airlines, Pacific Northern
Airlines, and Pan American World
Airways.
The plans result from an agree
ment among the lines reached last
spring. The agreement was an
nounced during a congressional
subcommittee investigation of Se
attle waterfront tieups.
Macklin says—
“When surface shipping to Al
aska is halted by labor disputes or
for any other cause, the air lines
serving Alaska will pool their
manpower and resources to utilize
aircraft capacity most efficiently
and keep food supplies and other
necessities moving.”
The air-lift office, in the event
of severe or prolonged emergency,
would obtain the use of additional
planes from domestic carriers to
increase the amount of lift avail
able.

Seattle Times, Struck
By Newspaper Guild,
Shuts Down Indefinitely
SEATTLE, UPi—1The Seattle lo
cal of the American Newspaper
Guild struck the Seattle Times in
a dispute over wages and some
other provisions of their contract,
and the newspaper suspended
publication.
Pickets wearing signs announc
ing the strike, walked quietly be
fore the entrances to the building
housing Seattle’s only afternoon
newspaper. Other employes stood
around in groups, but made no at
tempt to go through the picket
lines.
As a result of the Newspaper
Guild strike, management of the
Times announced the suspension
of publication for an indefinite
period.
The guild unit claims to repres
ent almost 250 news, advertising
and circulation department em
ployees. An additional 450 em
ployees in other departments were
affected by the strike.
1.000 JAPANESE STRIKE
TOKYO, UP—About 1,100 Japan
ese workers at XJ.S. Army motor
pools here started a 48-hour strike
Thursday demanding that two
non-union Japanese foremen be
fired.
Soviet Threat Halts
E. German Strike
But Work Slows
BERLIN, (J)—A Russian threat
to shoot every tenth striker broke
a new strike by workers in the
big Zeiss optical plant at Jena, E.
Germany, the Anti - Communist
League of Free Jurists reported
Thursday.
The League said Zeiss workers
sat down on their jobs last Sat
urday in protest against the “emp
ty promises” of reform by their
Communist bosses. They demand
ed release of their comrades ar
rested in the June 17 revolt, the
firing of the plant management,
and restoration of free voting in
all East Germany.
After three days of the sitdown,
the League said, the Soviet com
mandant in Jena marched into
the plant and threatened to “shoot
every tenth striker” unless they
resumed work. Since then, accord
ing to the League, strikers have
worked—but very slowly, still in
a mood of bitter protest.
The League of Free Jurists, an
organization of refugee judges
and lawyers from East Germany,
maintains close contact inside the
Soviet zone of Germany.
