Seward to Get Weekly
Newspaper Again
SEWARD, UP)—Seward (popula
tion 2,114) is to have a weekly
newspaper one again.
William E. Bonser, publisher of
the Times at Cordova, advised
the Seward Chamber of Com
merce this week that his firm
plans to expand its operations to
Seward, with the first issue in
September.
This seaport town, at the south
ern terminus of the Alaska Rail
road, has been without a news
paper since the plant of the Sew
ard Seaport Record burned last
May. Bonser will direct the Sew
ard publication while continuing
as editor of the Cordova Times.

Strikes Averted at i
Two Atomic Plants I
After Injunction
OAK RIDGE, Term., UP)—Offi
cials reported “business as usual”
Thursday at strike-threatened
atomic plants here and at Padu
cah, Kentucky.
CIO production workers, who
had threatened to strike yesterday
at the key atomic plants to en
force their demands for pay rais
es, backed down in the face of a
federal court injunction issued
Wednesday night.
The plants produce all of a vital
ingredient for atomic and hydro
gen bombs in this country.
Spokesmen for both sides said
there were no disturbances as the
day shift reported for work and
that it was “business as usual” at
the atomic plants.
However, more than 100 work
ers struck at the Atomic Energy
Commission’s Monsanto Labora
tory at Miamisburg, Ohio, near
Dayton, in a demand for a 30
cent-an-hour wage increase and
other benefits.
The walkout came after 21
hours of negotiations between the
CIO United Gas, Coke and Chem
ical Workers and the Monsanto
Chemical Co., which operates the
plant.
Senator Believes Congress
Will Grant Pay Raise
To Federal Workers
WASHINGTON, UP)—Sen. Carl
son <R-Kan> expressed the belief
Thursday Congress will give a
pay raise to federal workers be
fore the end of the present session.
Carlson, chairman of the Sen
ate Post Office and Civil Service
Committee, is sponsoring a bill
which would give about U/2 mil
lion federal workers, including
postal employes, a 5 percent in
crease.
The Senate yesterday approved
Carlson’s bill, but rescinded its
action on request of Majority
Leader Knowland <R-Calif). This
left the bill alive, but at the foot
of the Senate calendar.
Knowland said the administra
tion is asking higher postal rates
to pay the cost of any raise to
postal workers.
