Would End Seattle
Waterfront Strikes
SEATTLE, Uf) — Mayor Allan
Pomeroy’s Maritime Advisory
Committee Monday pinpointed
two general courses of action
aimed at preventfng crippling tie
ups on the Seattle waterfront.
James E. Flaherty, committee
secretary, said that the committee
adopted resolutions which will at
tempt to:
Establish uniform contract ex
piration dates for all on-shore and
off-shore maritime unions in Se
attle, thus hoping to eliminate a
month-to-month threat to Alaska
shipping, and
Gain an agreement from both
labor and management on the
waterfront that shipping would
continue in the event of a labor
dispute pending negotiations, and
that any settlement would be re
troactive.
The committee, Flaherty said,
also resolved to go on record as
opposing transfer of American
ships to foreign registry, to elimi
nate the possibility that ships so
transferred would wind up in
trade with Communist countries
in competition with American
shipping.
Sen. Magnuson, who had an
nounced earlier that he would
be on a Senate waterfront investi
gating committee to meet here
sometime this spring, told the ad
visory committee Monday he
“rather doubts” now that such
a probe will be necessary.
The senator said a week of in
vestigation has shown that Seat
tle’s port problems are not sub
stantially different from those of
many other ports.

Scientists Develop Pill
To Protect Folks From
| A-Bomb Radiation Effects
CHICAGO, W)— A big, fat pill
costing about $4 probably would
save you from radiation sickness
or death from an A-bomb, scien
tists said Tuesday.
You’d have to take it though,
j just before the bomb went off.
The king-size pill looks like the
• best practical bet so far to gtlard
j against radiation, the new ele
! ment in A-bcfmbs as compared
: with ordinary bombs.
The prospect was described by
scientists speaking in a news con
ference or presenting reports to
the Federation of American So
cieties for Experimental Biology.
The pill would weight almost
j two ounces, for a 150-pound per
| son. It would be smaller for some
one smaller, still bigger for a
fatty.
It would be made of cysteine,
one of the amino acids or build
ing blocks of proteins such as
muscle, fat, nerves and other tis
sues.
Given to animals an hour or
two before they’re exposed to le
thal x-rays, cysteine saves most
of them. It apparently would do
the same for humans.
Summerville Acts
To Eliminate Small
Rural Post Offices
WASHINGTON, —The Repub
licans are starting to close rural
post offices and replace them with
highway postal buses on RFD
routes, but the farmers aren’t
unanimously cheering the change.
This is the official word from
the new Postmaster General, Ar
thur E. Summerfield, who says
the New Deal in mail service will
save money.
Summerfield says the plan is
designed to give the less populated
rural areas in the country better
postal service at decreased cost.
It “will bring the postal service
into step with population shifts
occurring during and since the
war and will be in keeping with
the progress made by communi
ties in providing good paved and
graveled highways,’’ he says.
Summerfield tried out his new
idea in a staunchly Republican
part of the country, Wilkes Coun
ty, N.C. He proposed to close 19
rural post offices which, he said,
were “outmoded,” and consolidate
nine star routes carrying the mail
on contract.
But he ran into a hornets’ nest.
Sixty stalwart citizens from the
hills of Wilkes came to Washing
ton to protest. They demanded a
meeting with Summerfield and
got it.
Summerfield and his aides ex
plained that the change would
bring improved mail service to
700 families, most of whom travel
four to six miles per round trip to
pick up mail at post offices.
The savings in Wilkes County
Summerfield estimated at $25,000
a year.

Eisenhower Says:
Even With Peace,
Forces Must Stay
“Quite A While”
WASHINGTON, UP) — President
Eisenhower said yesterday that
even if peace comes to Korea
“our men and those of our Allies
will have to stay in that region
quite a while.”
Eisenhower made the statement
in a brief informal talk at the
annual meeting of the United De
fense Fund, Inc., at the Statler
Hotel.
His suggestion that peace seems
a possibility came atop an earlier
White House description of the
United Nations-Communist agree
ment on repatriation of sick and
wounded prisoners as “encour
aging.”
The United Defense Fund raises
money to support such programs
as that of the United Service Or
ganization (USO).
Eisenhower told the meeting
that if a Korean armistice is ar
ranged, there will be possibly an
even greater need for such pro
grams as the USO in Korea.
The President added that a
post-armistice period would be “a
trying period.”
He said “the impatience of Am
ericans” would become evident
after any armistice, and that the
services performed by the United
Defense Fund would help allevi
ate “gripes” of soldiers who would
have to stay on in the Korean
area.
Speaking just a few hours after
annoxincement in Korea that the
Allies and Communists had agreed
on a plan for exchange of sick
and wounded prisoners of war,
Eisenhower said “every right
thinking individual utters the
prayer to his God every night”
for peace.
