Harry Bridges Reported Seeking
Alliance of East and West Coast
Longshore Unions and Teamsters
AFL-CIO Sets
Deadline for
Teamster Reply
WASHINGTON, UPh-AFL-CIO
leaders plan to order the giant
Teamsters Union to carry out
specific reforms to avoid ouster
from the federation.
This was learned yesterday
from top AFL-CIO officers who
explained a third postponement
by the federation’s Ethical Prac
tices Committee of hearings on
charges the teamsters are cor
ruptly dominated. The charges
are based on disclosures before
the Senate Rackets Investigating
Committee.
These officials denied any sug
gestion the new delay represent
ed a move toward compromising
AFL-CIO complaints aginst the
lVz million member truck driver
organization, the nation’s largest
labor union.
Rather, it was said, the team
sters now have been given a new
date, Aug. 28, as a final one to
reply to the charges and tell what
reforms are planned.
After that, the AFL-CIO lead
ers said privately, the federation
plans to issue specific order on
what the teamsters must do if
they want to remain in the fam
ily of unions.
King of the Hoboes
Telling Fairbanksans of
Migratory Workers Union
FAIRBANKS, UB—Jeff Davis,
King of the Hoboes, is busy here
telling Fairbanks residents about
the International Itinerant Mi
gratory Workers’ Union—Hoboes
of America, Inc., as the “king’s”
calling cards list it.
Davis, 74, arrived Wednesday.
He said he came here primarily
to erect a monument to William
Stebbins, who died in a fire in
the Northward building here last
Jan. 17. Stebbins was the Alaska
chairman for the “Knights of the
Road,” another name King Davis
has for his organization.
A hobo, according to Davis, is
not a tramp or a bum but an
itinerant worker, and he cites the
Columbia Dictionary to prove it.

P.O. Box 558
> NEW YORK, WP)—'The Wall
Street Journal said yesterday in
a copyrighted story that Harry
Bridges is seeking to ally his West
Coast waterfront union with the
Teamsters Union and East Coast
longshoremen in a huge transport
combine.
The story, written under a San
Francisco dateline, said he “is
very much inclined to join hands
with a couple of other fellows
who are equally powerful, equal
ly unruly.
"If his ideas are realized, he
says frankly, it would be sen
sational news not only for the
other unions but for America's
businessmen and the U.S. gov
ernment.
“For his friends are Jimmy
Hof fa, who seems likely to grab
control of the teamsters and get
it booted out of the AFL-CIO, and
Capt. Bill Bradley, whose East
Coast longshoremen’s union suf
fered a similar fate four years
ago.”
In New York, Bradley was
quoted as saying his union would
negotiate with the teamsters to
form an amalgamated transport
union but that he would oppose
including the West Coast dock
union as long as the left-wing
Bridges heads it.
"There's one thing I know,"
the Journal quoted Bridges as
saying, "if the teamsters and
the two dock unions got togeih- J
er they'd represent more eco- i
nomic power than the com
bined AFL-CIO.
“They are so concentrated. An
economic squeeze and pressure
can be exerted that puts any em
ployer in a very tough spot—and
furthermore puts the U. S. gov
ernment in a tough spot.
“If the AFL-CIO meets us
head-on, we’d knock the stuffings
out of them. We’d fight on their
own ground and win.”
The Journal said “this is a
prospect that AFL-CIO leader
have been worrying about plenty,
in private.”

THE TRADING POST
Vote Would Give
Military Power
Over GIs Abroad
WASHINGTON, UR—'The House
Armed Services Committee yes
terday voted 31-4 to give the U.S.
military the power to decide for
the United States whether a GI
should be turned over for foreign
trial for an on-duty offense.
Approval of the bill came in
the face of a strong Administra
tion protest that any U.S. law
concerning the status of forces
treaties would harm America’s
foreign relations and could lead
to foreign insistence on many
more trials of. U.S. servicemen.
Four Republicans voted against
the bill, including Rep. Arends,
the House GOP whip.
But, acting in closed session, the
committee adopted two amend
ments designed to make the bill
an implementation of, rather than
a violation of, the status of forces
agreements covering U.S. troops
abroad.
The bill, co-authorized by Com
mittee Chairman Vinson (D-Ga)
and Rep. Kilday (D-Tex), would:
1. Give the Secretary of the
U.S. Army, Navy or Air Force
the final authority to determine
for this country whether an of
fense by a man in his service
overseas was committed in per
formance of duty.
2. Empower the U.S. service
secretary to decide whether an
on-duty case should be turned
over to a foreign government be
cause that government deems the
case of particular importance, as
allowed under the status of forces
provisions.

Strange Object
Flashes in Skies
Over Two States
San Francisco, —From south
ern California to Portland, Ore.,
from Salt Lake City to the coast,
western skies last night glowed
to the light of a hurtling object
or objects.
The main one—if there was
more than one—appeared to dis
integrate over Yreka, Calif., near
the Oregon border. It made an
explosion heard all over Siskiyou
County.
Most observers thought it was
a meteor. It was seen about 9:30
p.m.
In Eureka, Calif., 250 miles
north of here, amateur astronom
er William Abbey said the bril
liant bluish-green object was
traveling north when it disinte
grated in the northeast section of
the sky. That would place it near
Yreka, 50 miles in that direction.
Abbey said the object was trail
ing fragments from its red and
yellow tail which dropped
straight down. Other reports
agreed that pieces appeared to
fall off and drop straight to earth.

Actress Makes News
By Keeping Clothes On
TOKYO, (It)—Michiko Maeda,
23, soared to fame last year when
she doffed all her clothing for a
■nude scene in her first moVie.
The film was a box office
$mash. No other Japanese actress
had gone so far before.
The 5-foot-4 actress made the
headlines again today by refusing
to strip in a new movie.
Mitsugu Okura, her employer,
ordered another actress to take
her place and said, “We cannot
tolerate v/aywardness from a girl
who made her debut only a year
ago.”
“I’m not a nude model,” pretty
Michiko commented. “I want to
be an actress.”
