Mr. Petrie said he thought the public should be more fully informed of the chief's accusations against Supervisor Apoliona.

BANK LOANS APPROVED MANILA, June 16 (AV-The United States notified the Philippines government today that it will make export-import bank loans available to broaden the base of the economic aid program OS on the mainland. f' A Matson spokesman said today that because the marine radio operators of the American- Radio association refuse to sign on Matson ships, the vessels will not be able to sail from east or west coast ports.

Only the radio operators strike is responsible for a tieup in Mat-son's shipping since neither Mat-son nor the affiliated Isthmian Steamship Co. has any contract with the National Maritime union. SITUATION NOT CLEAR The-spokesman also pointed out the situation is not altogether clear. It is reported that Isthmian ships, not affiliated with either the' NMU or the ARA, might be held in port by picket lines. So far on the west" coast, no scheduled Matson sailing has put the strike to -a It has also been the custom for radio operators on vessels not in mainland ports to return with their ships to ports on the mainland, he said.

The Matson freighter Hawaiian Farmer sailed from Honolulu early today to return to the mainland. ONLY MATSON AFFECTED Castle Cooke, freight agent for Matson, pointed out that of the lines they represent, only Matson's operations to Hawaii would be affected, to any extent. Ships of other American flag lines represented by Castle Cooke do not make regularly scheduled calls and bring no cargo to the islands.

Two further AH cent livestock price cuts are due, along with a nearly dime a pound slash in butcher shop prices. 11 Beef industry spokesmen had argued to the committee last Wednesday that the controls would curtail production, lead to markets and consumer rationing.

June IS President Truman gave every indication this week that he is a man seeking reelection. He nominated to the federal bench two men and a woman who have been very much in the news in the pivotal state of New York. He went on the air and attacked the "private interests" with the same old zest he used in 1948. All this adds up. It means the president is beating his'chest again on each early morning walk.

It means he thinks that he will make a comeback from recent low levels of popular polls on the mainland. On the Judgeships: He selected Judge Harold R. Medina, who tried the convicted 11 Communists in New York, as a member of the U. S. court of appeals.

He chose Thomas J. Murphy, who successfully prosecuted Alger Hiss, to succeed Judge Medina on the federal district court, and he picked Frieda Hennock, now member of the federal communications commission, as another member of the federal bench all in New York. He gave the state a load of. well known Democrats. On the speech: The president used again his old whipping boy, the National Association of Manufacturers, and did it in a manner which certainly disproves that the anti-inflation fight is non-partisan.

He laid the -blame at the door of the "special interests," by which he means the NAM and other groups he has. always attacked on the whistle stops. i "The boss is in good form again and watch him keep going." said an assistant. If the president Is playing a bit of politics at, this time, it certainly means he is putting on his armor for another political campaign, his chief lieutenants believe. Ambassador Yang of Korea hears that perhaps several hundred thousand upper grade civil servants and property owners vere rounded up by the Communists in mid-China and shipped to Korea as forced labor.

1 SECRETARY OF HAWAII DECISION EXPECTED Interior department heads, expect a decision to be made next week on the new secretary of the territory. The choice has been difficult because there are several good candidates, says Secretary Oscar Chapman. Governor Long is having his full say in the matter. We don't know how you are doing in Hawaii, bdt here beef, just like old generals, simply disap pears. But there is some indication that prices are turning down.

Panic buvin2 for most staples is over, and the pressure is somewhat off. There is a damper at present on the urge to buy. People are beginning to realize there will be enough to go around. This was especially true of commodities other than meat, but that this week seemed to be getting into line. Pressure Building Up Under Kilauecr And Mauna Loa HAWAII NATIONAL PARK.
