Britain’s StrikingDockmen
End Paralyzing Stoppage
After 27-Day Walkout
LONDON, (£i—Britain’s striking
dockmen voted Saturday to go
back to work today and end the
paralyzing waterfront stoppage
which has brought this maritime
nation’s trade to a virtual stand
still.
The 27-day-old walkout of 43,
000 men ended in compromise,
with the promise of a final settle
ment to be hammered out within
a month.
Vic Marney, a strike leader,
told a mass meeting of dockers
outside London’s idle wharves:
“We have won a glorious victory.”
The back-to-work vote was
taken at a series of mass meetings
up and down the country. The
London men voted first to go
back. Within minutes the rest of
Britain’s major ports followed
their example.
The London men agreed to re
turn to work on condition that
overtime work should be on a
voluntary basis and men who re
fused to work overtime would not
be disciplined.
Wickersham Calls For
Increased Air Force Pay
Plus Fringe Benefits
WASHINGTON, GW—Rep. Wick
ersham (D-Okla) said today Air
Force personnel pay should be
increased at least 25 per cent and
fringe benefits restored.
“This would establish the Air
Force as a worthwhile career and
reduce the number of men leav
i ing the service,” Wickersham said
I n a statement.
“ “When that happens, we can
save billions of dollars alone by
reducing the size of the vast
training establishment we must
have to replace those who seek
discharge.”
CAN YOU HELP?
(The Alaska Liner)
Here’s an appeal for help in
contacting the family of Capt.
Johnny “Dynamite” O’Brien, col
erful early-day Alaska Line skip
per. Mrs. Oliver M. Powell of
Seattle told us she was aboard the
Victoria bound for Nome some
time between 1925 and 1928. Capt.
O’Brien was master of the ship.
Mrs. Powell had planned to join
her husband, who owned the U.S.
Smelting, Refining & Mining Co',
at Nome.
A day and a half out from
j Nome Capt. O'Brien told Mrs.
Powell he had just learned that
her husband was aboard the Sen
ator southbound from Nome and
when the two ships passed at Uni
mak Pass he would transfer her
to the Senator. The transfer be
tween ships was made on a small
barge and pictures were taken.
Mrs. Po'well has lost her set of
pictures and wishes to obtain a
duplicate set from Capt. O’Brien’s
family. Other passengers on the
Victoria at the time were Mike
Samuells of Nome, Blanche
Prince, and A. J. Mueller, a Nome
jeweler.
Anyone who can help Mrs.
Powell should contact her at 2203
West Viewmont Way.

Newspapers Still
Leader Influencing
Public Opinion
LONDON, UP)—Newspapers still
set the pace for creating and in
fluencing public opinion, Dr.
Cyril Garbett, the archbishop of
York, says.
The press, he says, leaves a
deeper impression than either ra
dio OT television.
“I sometimes hear that the press
no longer has the influence it
once possessed,” he recently told
the Royal Commission on the
Press. “I am doubtful about this.
The written word makes a deeper
impression on the mind than what
is heard.
Dr. Garbett, Britain’s second
ranking Anglican churchman, ex
plained:
"The wireless (radio) is listened
to- by millions, but only a minority
are trained listeners who could
report accurately or give even an
intelligible account of what they
had heard only two hours previ
ously.
“What is printed makes a far
deeper impression. The written
word which can be read and re
read at leisure helps to form the
opinion of the more intelligent
citizens who will become leaders
in their locality or in the nation.”
“And,” he added, “I am afraid
that too much television gazing
will leave only- superficial and
fleeting impressions.”
Bodies of 21 Airmen
j Recovered From C-47
i WEISBADEN, Germany, iff)—

flight from Rome to Lyon, France,
Sunday afternoon. Its 15 passen

Now that Marjorie and George
Whaley are back in Seattle from
; three years on Annette Island,
MarjoTie has resumed her playing
and singing, and oldtime Alaska
friends can see her daily at the
friendly cocktail hour from 5:30
to 8:30 each evening at “Irving’s
620” on Union St., Seattle. She
plays the piano and solovox.
George is a brother of Frank
and Jack Whaley of Wien Airlines

Dynamiter Tries to Wreck
Cadillac of Candidate
For Ohio Senator
CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio, (44—A
dynamiter tried to blow up Rep.
George H. Bender’s 1946 Cadillac
early Saturday while the Repub
lican candidate for Ohio senator
was asleep in this home.
Bender’s wife, Edna, found a
seven-inch, half pound stick of
dynamite—broken in half but
otherwise intact—on the rear floor
of the car Saturday morning.
Only the detonator cap, said
police, had exploded, showering
the car with corrugated brown
paper used for wrapping the
bomb.
About a month ago, Bender
conducted a House subcommittee
investigation here into purported
Cleveland labor racketeering, but
Bender said he did not know
whether the car incident was nec
essarily connected with the inves
tigation.
There are almost 4,000 figures
represented in the stained glass
windows of Chartres Cathedral.
