The re elected ILA president Thomas W Gleason said dock workers may load U S grain onto Soviet bound ships if leaders are assured the program won't worsen food shortages or raise prices. Representatives authorized him to ban loading if needed, with the power to lift the ban after a union vote by 132,000 Canadian and American dock workers. County forecast calls for clear mild weather tonight with a low in the 50s and a sunny warm Saturday reaching around 90, with easterly winds 5 to 15 mph tonight becoming light and variable.
