Efforts Made to Rush Meas- | ure Through Wednesday -Up Again Today Vigorous discussion and amendment of H.B. 44, the “Al; aska World War II Veterans Act” (House versioem), was eli- maxed by werd received in the closing minutes of the morn- ing seecion in the Territorial House that the Senate had passed their version of the bill, 12 to 4. S.B. 9 approximates H.B. 44 with the vital distinction that the Senate measure includes a sales tax as a revenue-raiser. The morning’s stint for G.L Joe included amendments to permit obtaining of both bonus- es and Icans on condition that cne be paid before the other is granted and to fix the interest rate on business loans other than for farming at four percent. The “Alaska World War II Vet- erans Act”, minus the controversial sales tax provision, made its bow in the Territorial House yesterday with a fanfare of strong, but i fective, cries for immediate passage. Introduced by the House Veter- ans Committee as H.B. 44, the measure is substantially similar to Senate bill 9, except as to fund raising methods. Launching the bill, Rep. Almer Peterson said: “If we can get this bill the Senate together with the in- come tax bill (H.B. 26, passed by the House Tuesday) they'll take if. I think the sales tax will ruin the bill they've got now.” Rep. Stanley J. McCutcheon, sup= before | Demos Plan |[NEW CHAPTE | Jackson Day OF RATE MEE Dinner Here THIS EVENING Senator Edward D.
