Upper chamber members refused to accept consideration of Representative Bess Cross’ House Joint Resolution No. 8 and voted Representative Fred Hanford's Fishermen's Relief Bill. What's more, for a time it looked as though House Bill No. 62, the Property Tax Act, might be set down outside the Senate door. Having cleared away all Senate measures, the solons late in the afternoon finally got around to digging into the top of the tall pile of House bills awaiting their, pleasure in second reading. The Fishermen's Reliei Act, Sub- stitute for House Bill No. 4, headed the list, having been partially read a week ago. With reading of, the bill completed, the Senators called in Alaska's Attorney General Henry Roden, for his opinion as to its constitutionality. The Attorney General ripped the measure from all directions, describing it as dis- criminatory, unnecessary and so poorly drawn that he had serious doubts as to a court’s being able to decipher the intent of the act. With Mr. Roden’s remarks fresh in their minds, the Senators sus- pended the rules and put the bill to immediate vote. It was defeated by a wide margin, only First Divi- sion Senators Andy Gundersen and her measure. The lady Representative from Deering stated that a petition bear- | ing 100 names in support of the| re-establishment of the Tomlnu.\u Schoel there is now enroute from | Kotzebue; that there are from 11 to 19 white children not attending | school there at this time because | of the deplorable conditions at the | Indian Bureau School, including e serious tubercuicsis problem; and that none of the teachers in the COMMAND present school are capable of teach- | March 14—A storm of hurricane viclence struck a superfortress base that ing higher cts.

Plea Turned own | Despite her eloquent plea, Senators were guided less by Mrs. Cross’ remarks than by the action of the Territorial Board of Educa- tion, which went on record at its ing Territorial Schools at Kotzebue‘ and two other towns. The Board's report stated that the Office of Indian Affairs had indicated ipten- | tion to close its school at Kotze- bue, should the Territorial School there be re-opened. Immediately following the Taxa- tion Committee’s split report on the Property Tax Act, House Bill 62, not-concurring Senator Grenold Collins moved that the bill be re- turned to the House as being im-/ properly presented to the Senate.| He pointed out in the House Jour-! than fifth grade sub- ’ to the House. .- — 'SUPERFORT BASE INASIAIS STRUCK BY HURRICANE U S.
