She left Neme in June, sailing direct to Seattle and proceeding to Detroit to buy an automobile and meet her husband in Wash- ington, D. C., where Mr. Burdick was working on details and reports for the Department of the Interior on the reindeer buying trip. The Burdicks spent two months touring the Atlantic seaboard and the New England states before Mr. Burdick returned to his Juneau Forest Service office, leaving his card game or to the dance at the Arcla. This is her first experience with Legislatures. Members cf the House may smoke to their hearts’ conient. | One of the bedy’s first actions tcday was to suspend Heuse Rule 33 which prohibits smcking in | the Chamber. Even Mrs. Crystal | Snew Jenne, a non-smoker, vot- ed to suspend this rule. Senator O. D. Cochran thinks the House has entirely too great an ad- | !to be held at the Baranof Hotel| \gntage over the Senate in the|Of the case to the jury. matter of confirming appainbmenlx.l Today in the Senate he pointed out| that practically everywhere else it is the Senate and no tthe entire legis- lative body which is given the pow- er of confirmation. In Alaska ap- peintments are considered in joint session, and the House, havig twice as many members, could overwhelm even a Senate which is unanimously | agreed for or against some appoint- ment. Speaking of appointments, some of the Members are wondering at the Governor's submitting only the| Education and Welfare Board reap- | pointments. Some Legislators think this may indicate the Governor is contemplating, for instance, a change on the Unemployment Compensa- tion Commission, whose Chairman,| R. M. Hardcastle of Ketchikan, has| a term about to expire. Speaker H. H. McCutcheon earned a good laugh in ihe Hcuse this mcrning when he referred the Juneau Chamber of Cemmerce invitation to Legisla- tors to attend next Thursday's meeting to the “Committee on Entertainment.” Rep.
