Barlow said he believed that was refunded to fishermen. “Did your group have a legisla- tive program? What taxes did they advocate?” Senator John Butrovich wanted to know. Barlow said that they had not edvocated any particular program “Do you know what union groups generally advocated?” Senator But- rovich asked “No, I'd like to be enlightened about that,” Barlow id. “The gentleman is here to en- lighten us, not for us to enlighten him,” Senator Lyng interjected. Eloquence Cut Short Carl Weidman, a member of Lo- cal 100, United Trollers of Alaska, took the stand then. What prom- ised to be the best specch the Sen- ate has heard this session was cut off in m'd-flight when Senator. Lyng, seeking information rather than eloquence, started asking questions. “I'm not afraid of taxes and those gallant boys who go out and ficht the ocean for a living are not afraid of them, either, but they don't want to be taxed out of busi- ness. These are red-blooded fish- ermen, but they don't want to lose their prosperity through some li old tax,” Weidman announced. Too heavy a tax, he said, would cause boats to take their fish to Prince Rupert and Seat!le and they would not call in Alaska ports at all. “It look all be mov- b in closing. like we'll man said tes Not Lowered les D.

Senator Riv érs’ Marine Alternate Clause foi- lowed the Jones amendment into the wastebasket by a 7-9 vote Supporting the amendment, which pccording to figures recited by one fisherman would have saved him approximately half his taxes, were Barr, Jo: no Beforehand, however, a motion by Senator Steve McCutcheon to in- crease the $100,000 appropriation called for in the Bill to $300,000 was adopted over Senator Garnick’s objection. “It is obvious that $100,000 is not enough to build the necessary facilities and it can't be done for Jess than $300,000,” Senator Mc- Cutcheon said. “This is just an attempt to kill the Bill,” Senator Garnick re- torted. Senator N an estimate of had been made prior duction of the Bill. Senator Garnick sa‘d that the improvements intended would cost Lout $100,000. After the amendment had been dopted by a 9-7 vote, Senator Me- Cutcheon moved to lay the Bill on the table until the 35th day of the session. Senator Garnick pointed out that the 35th day will fall on a Sun- day and Senator McCutcheon then chanzed his motion to make it the After the vote had been taken and the motion carried 12- 4, Senator Butrovich raised the rland asked whether the work required to the intro- ° parliamentary point of order that the entire procedure had been out of order. A motion to postpcne to a time certain would have becn proper, Butrovich said. The Senators rescinded their first action and adopted the new motion by the same vote. Senator Anita Garnick, one of the authors of the Women's Home Bill and its most ardent supporter, told reporters that “they are using my Bill as a club to get my vote in favor of the General Property Tax Bill.” MORGANS ATTACHED TO PRINCETOR-HALL The Rev. and Mrs. A.

OFFICIAL State Department Tells| Top Diplomat to Leave U. S. Soon as Possible WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. — P — The United States today retaliated against Hungary for expulsion of | two American officials from Buda- pest by ordering a top Hungarian diplomat out of this country. The diplomat ordered to leave “as scon as possible” is John G. Florian, First Secretary of the Legation here. The State Department notified Minister Andrew Sik yesterday that Florian is no longer “persona grata,” or acceptable as a representative of his government. The notification gave no reason for the demand that Florian leave. State Department Press Officer Michael J. McDermott told reporters it was “pure coincidence” that Flor- ian’s expulsion followed the ejection of the American officials from Budapest in the last two weeks. Diplomats, however, accepted the move as being, at least in effect, tit for tat. i Senator Tom Connally (D.-Tex.), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, commented: “I highly approve the action of the State Department.” The State Department in nouncing this action also denounced the filin charges by Com- munist Bulga against 15 leaders of United Evangelical Church in Bulgaria.
