L Meessccesases sn et taaseeaeee e e SOLONS KILL PAIR OF VET MEASURES Jones Act M;r;orial Pass- :. ed with Amendment by Upper House Two meesures of the “to benefit veterans” category were given rough handling by the Alaska Sen- ate yesterday afternon. One them ran into prompt and inde- f pestponement while the & other was twice voted down. Senate Bill 54, tossed in by Coife enator Edward D did not even have the full sympathy of its sponsor. Coffey asked that Veterans Affairs Com= missioner Norman Haley give his views on the bill. Haley stated that he was cpposed to every amendment to the Veterans Act proposed by S. B. 54, The Sena- tors, who were willing anyw: then postnened the bill by,an 11- 5 vote, without further ado. S. B. 54 soughit o do a number of things (0 the present World War II Vetera Act, such as: Provide appeintment c¢f members of the Veterans Board only from persons recommended by the American Le- gion and Veterans of Foreign ‘Wars: require approval of all Board members on a loan to a veteran in any amount exceeding $5000; in- crease the pér diem of Board mem- bers from $10 to $20, and make the loan benefits of the Vets Act avail- ' able to non-Alaskan veterans who may since have lived two years in the Territory. “Proefessional Veterans” Haley characterized the amend- ment to change the manner of ap- pointing Board members as one that would put minority groups and “pr-.fessional veterans” in control. He agreed with Senator Walker that his interpretation of the term “professional veteran” is “one who always wants to capi- talize on his services to his coun- try.” That same appellation was call- ed upon by Walker, in discussion of House Joint Memorial No. §, which the Senate failed to pass, then later refused to reconsider when the House requested that defeat of the measure be rescinded. H. J.

Cochran e indefinite postponement, bu measure missed that fate by 6 to 10 margin H. J. M 4, however, received consideration—it was passed by the Senate, 14 to 2. H. J. M. 4, by New- ks revision of the Act to eliminate discrim- ati against Alaska Need Broader Terms r Brownell, objected strong- anguage employed in writ- the memorial and less strong- to its intent. On the language, he was supported by Cochran, who | lan advocated that it be framed in broader terms. Before passing the measure. the Senators did strike out one “whereas” the accuracy of which was doubted Brownell's argument was that: Not only is the wording of H. J. M. 4 “atrocious” but he thinks at- of its purpose would put ships out of service to he doubts that im- to all the Territory nme; icar Alaska, and nroved service would resuit Brownell and Rogge voiced the ‘no” votes on passage. One other measure, H. B. 6, by Rep. Engsirom, dealing with mar- riage laws and legitimatization of children, was considered briefly be- fore being turned over to the Judici- ary Committee to be dovetailed in with two other bills on the same eneral subject matter. .o ADSERO FACES 2 CHARGE He: Adsero who was arresied yesterda on charges of assault and battery, is being held in lieu of a $250 bond.
