House Joint Resolution No. 1 is designed to extract the House from the embarrassing position of hav- ing acted contrary to the laws of the Territory in hiring a non-citi- zen, Mrs. Eleanore Hinke, as a typ- ist on the clerical force. Section 11-1-4, Alaska Compiled Laws Annoted 1949, the Resolution sets forth, gives citizens of the United States the exclusive right to} employment by the Territory of Al- aska by prohibiting compensation to non-citizens. Mrs. Hinke is a citizen ot Canada, | although she has applied for citi- zenship in the United States. The resolution cites a shortage of per- sons in Juneau with the qualitica- tions of stenographers to meet the need of the legislature and suspends the law with respect to legislative employees for the duration of the| special and regular sessions. PAY BILL PASSED was passed twice by the House, the second time in slightly revised form. This is the pay bill for the special session and appropriates $56,819 “or so much thereof-as may be neces- sary” for carrying on the session. As first passed, the Resolution provided for the payment of mileage and travel time to the members, as well as $15 per day as pay and the same amount as per diem. Since legislators will receive mileage from the Federal government for the reg- ular session, this would have paid the members twice for making one trip to Juneau. After the Resolution had been passed, reporters at the press taple! called the attention of several of the House members to the wording! the measure and it was called revised and passed a second of back time. The Resolution appropriates $8,- 664 for the salaries of persons em- ployed by the Legislature, $10200 for salaries of Senators and Repre- sentatives, $4,850 for printing, $2,500 for stationery and supplies and $30,- 000 for per diem and other expens- es. ‘The third of the trio of Resolu- tions will allow Representatives Carlson, Egan, Ipalook, Miscovich and Taylor to draw full pay for the special session although they ar-.

British policy on Palestine appear- ed to be undergoing a drastic change. The Labor Government has been accused of endangering its re- lations with the United States. It is a target of the Conservative op- position and of dissidents within its own ranks. Foreign Secretary Bevin told Par- liament yesterday the British will free Jews interned on Cyprus. He endorsed strongly peace negotia- tions now in progress between Is- rael and Egypt. Optimism prevailed over the talks, now in the critical stage, with the boundaries of the Negev desert of Southern Palestine |at stake.

War- ren Taylor, Fairbanks attorney and chairman of the House Ways and |Means Committee, tell the Sena- tors that insurance companies do- ‘ing business in the Territory should ]be exempt from the provisions of the income tax because they are already heavily taxed on gross | premiums, 1 Rep. Taylor said that he had overlooked the fact that insur- ance companies would be “doubly ‘taxed” if included under the Net EI :come Tax Bill and that this pro- vision had slipped by the House, which felt that it was imperative {to pass the bill and ger it before ,the Senate where it “could be giv- ren due consideration.” !

Whether the Communists, aflush with triumph after triumph Chiang's inept generals and troops, would agree to talk peace remain- ed to be seen. The answer seem- ed to lie in how tired the Com- munists might be from capturing Manchuria and virtually all North China Communist leader Mao Tse-tung issued a radio ultimatum last week calling in effect for total sur- render of the Chiang government. China has been conquered many times in the past and invariably swallows her congquerers. Many in Washington and other world capi- ave expressed belief the Com- munists never can actually take control of the docile peasants and coolies who are individualists and form the great bulk of the popula- tion, Foreign diplomats in Nanking were informed that the Chiang gevernment will stagt moving south to Canton Friday.

ASHINGTON— January is a month when we have come to think of inaugurating Presidents and of raising money for children who cannot walk. In addition to children, newspap- ermen became so long accustomed to a President who also could not walk, that they have been a little slow to realize that the President of the United States can now drop in on his friends on Capitol Hill without the least effort, and can amble in an out of the Capitol's entrances as fast as anyone else when he takes the oath of office. For so many years was it neces- sary to build long, slanting ramps up inclines in order to avoid steps for the President, that people in ‘Washington became quite accus- tomed to it and took it for granted.
