Major Strikes in
New England and
Southern States

Another major strike darkened
the nation’s labor front Saturday
as some 25,000 textile workers in
four New England states struck
in a dispute over wages.

strikes in the South. These two
costly walkouts, which started on
March 14, affect thousands of tel
ephone and railroad workers as
well as workers in some related
industries.
The CIO Textile Workers Union
struck in 23 cotton textile mills in
Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land and Vermont. The workers
stayed away in support of de
mands for a new contract and re
fused to take a 10 cents an hour
cut in wages and fringe benefits.
The new violence in the South ]
was reported in the strike by j
about 25,000 non-operating em
ployes of the Louisville & Nash
ville Railroad.
The derailment of a passenger
train near Nashville, Tenn., Fri
day night, in which 30 passengers
were shaken up, was callecL sabo
tage by a rail official.

Alaska Food Prices
Fluctuate Wildly;
Increase Expected
Food prices in Alaska are fluc
tuating wildly again. They rose
moderately during the past three
months at Ketchikan, Sitka and
Juneau but continued to drop at
Anchorage, Palmer and Fairbanks,
according to the quarterly grocery
survey conducted by the Alaska
Experiment Station.
The price changes seem to bear
little relation to recent changes
in the national supply picture.
Only coffee of the 30 foods priced
dropped in all Alaskan cities. No
other food price rose or fell in all
cities.
This confused situation may in
dicate another general round of
higher prices. This has occurred
before under similar circumstanc
es, according to Hugh A. Johnson
of the Experiment Station.
Most Alaskans still are able to
eat more cheaply than during the
base period of January 1952.
Prices of the 30 food items on
March 15, 1955, cost 95.6 percent
of 1952 prices at Fairbanks, 93.7
percent at Palmer, 91.3 percent at
Anchorage, and 104 percent at
Juneau. Prices at Ketchikan on
March 15 were 4.0 percent above
the base period of September
1953. Sitka prices were 2.5 per
cent above the base of September
1954 for that city.

Vaccine Orders
To Be Filled From
‘The South Up’
NEW YORK, yn—The National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
says Salk vaccine orders will be
filled from “the South up”—fol
lowing the same system used in
the field trials last year.
Dr. Hart E. Van Riper, the foun
dation’s medical director, said
Friday early closing dates for
schools and an earlier beginning
of the polio season in that part of
the nation are the main reasons
for such planning.
Van Riper said distribution of
the drug will then proceed north
ward.
Meanwhile, the grateful nation
was paying homage to the man
who conquered the dread disease.
Salk, 40, gets no royalties for
his work; his discovery is not
patented. It is a property of the
American people whose “dimes”
made it possible.
Ideas to form “Funds for Salk”
mushroomed throughout the coun
try as one town followed another.
In Richmond, Va., M. B. Mc
Reynolds, a sales engineer, pro
possed a fund of thanks for Salk
and imrpediately sent a dollar for
each of the three members of his
family to Salk.
His idea was picked up by the
New York Daily Mirror. The tab
loid proposed editorially a three
[ month campaign asking its read
ers to mail dollar contributions to
a Salk fund.
Some Delegates Question
Purpose of Bandung
RANGOON, — Some dele
gates wondered whether the stars
of the conference were writing
the script to please themselves.
They are openly questioning the
purpose of the “Little Bandung”
conference held Friday here by
Indian Prime Minister Nehru, Red
China’s Chou and Abdel Gamal
Nasser of Egypt, with Burmese
Premier U Nu as host.
“What did they have to talk
about that we couldn’t all hear?”
demanded an Arab delegate
among the early arrivals in Ban
dung. His question was echoed re
peatedly in hotel lobbies there
while the delegates were getting
acquainted.
Red China’s Premier took no
chances on his journey to Ban
dung. He slipped out of Rangoon
on his chartered Indian Skymas
ter aHead of Nehru, Nasser and
C Nu. The plane had been under
constant guard during its 36 hours
in Rangoon and not even airport
officials were permitted to ap
proach it.

Army Denies Any Plan
To Close Seattle Port
Of Embarkation
WASHINGTON, UFi — Army
spokesmen Friday denied flatly
any plan to close the Seattle Port
of Embarkation and transfer its
functions to San Francisco.
Washington state congressional
offices fired a barrage of tele
phone calls at the Pentagon to
check such reports.
Rep. Pelly (R-Wash) said he
had been advised by Gen. Paul
Yount, chief of the Army Trans
portation Corps, the report was
baseless.
Irvin Hoff, administrative aide
to Sen. Magnuson <D - Wash),
quoted Brig. Gen. E. C. R. Lasher,
assistant chief of transportation
for traffic, as saying it was “ab
solutely false.”
Lasher attributed the report,
Hoff said, to an Army proposal
under consideration to ship all
perishable freight destined for
the Far East through San Fran
cisco instead of routing a portion
through Seattle.
This would result in closing the
Quartermaster Marketing Center
in Seattle.
