A San Francisco waterfront dispute centers on the stewards department unions aboard West Coast ships. Harry Lundeberg backs a separate Marine Cooks and Stewards organization aiming to take over, opposed by the National Union of Marine Cooks and Stewards and Sailors Union of the Pacific. The NRLB has not yet ordered an election, while the MCS proposes a court-appointed impartial arbiter to settle hiring disputes until an NRLB vote. Port Agent Joseph Johnson Jr calls for public letters to urge the NLBR to hold a secret ballot election to determine which union represents port interests.
An Independent editor laments Long Beach past neglect and urges preserving relics like the Pacific Queen ship to charm natives, tourists, and children. He cites San Francisco as a model for keeping old objects, noting the oceans spill around for the ship’s fate.
President Truman comments on Eisenhower’s Abilene speech, joking that the general has much to learn about politics. He recalls old Pentagon ties, MacArthur, Marshall, and McCarthy, and notes how strategy history shaped U.S. China policy and Chiang Kai-shek.
A lengthy critique argues President Truman favors established machine politics over reformers, detailing alleged back room dealings, favoritism toward old guard factions, and selective support in New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Tennessee, Missouri, and California. It portrays Truman as hostile to Kefauver and eager to back loyal regulars and insiders.
A fragmented note critiques city issues and beach costs, referencing parks, stations, and taxpayer concerns. It mentions residents and figures like IVA SCHLAMM and uses varied spellings and phrases to question funding and local priorities.
