PAGESIX ™ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1949 $1,000,000 LOAN FAILS SAYS RODEN (Continued from Page One) Washington ang ii§ King County. They felt, however, that because of the pending suits against vari-| ous Territorial revenue measures and threats of more vexatious liti~ gation, and especially of the threat to attack the financing plan agreed upon by the Syndicate and the Territorial Treasurer, to be brought by the ‘Industries’ here and in Seattle, together with the ham- stringing limitations placed on the Territory by Congress in the Organic Act, they could not see their way clear to go ahead with the plan as originally agreed upon with me. “This time, legalistic skullduggery is the means used to embarrass the functions of the Territorial Gov- ernment. The entrenched interests, however, offer to help solve the merely temporary financial diffi- New Federal ' Overtime Law - Is Explained LEAD OF DODGERS CUT DOWN CHICAGO, Aug. 15—®-The Louis Cardinals whittled the idle; Brooklyn Dodgers’ first place h'ud‘ in the National League down to a| half game here today when they trounced the Chicago Cubs, 5 to _'.i before 19,754 A comprehensive statement of the principles he will apply in en-| forcing the rtime compensation requirements of thé Fair Labor Standards Act—the Federal Wage | and Hour Law—in the light of the | July 20, 1949, amendment of the | 1 I H SL! { that under the amendment which | is retroactive in effect, certain| premium payments which the Su-| preme Court held were not “true!St. Lopis overtime” pay, will now be treated | Chicag “Nippy” Jones’ triple in that round spelled his finish.

They have commenced a number of law suits, and threaten to bring more, attacking recently enacted revenue measures. By pur- suing this method they hope to bring the Territorial Government to its knees and to do their bidding. They want the Legislature con- vened in special session, have the recently enacted tax measures re- | pealed or greatly modified, and in their stead provide a sales tax. ‘If| you will do this,’ they say, ‘we will advance the million dollars pre- sently needed and, in addition thereto, will pay the expense ot the special session.’ i “In other words, they propose to dictate and formulate the Terri- tory’s policies and tell us what we must do. I think the people arci amply able to decide for themselves what course to take under existing circumstances.” JUNEAUITES INTERVIEWED The Empire has interviewed var- ious persons who talked to thei representatives of the Seattle 'l‘rus:.‘i & Savings Bank, who were in Ju- | neau to negotiate the loan. From ! information available, from sources | other than from Mr. Roden, it ap- pears that the loan was refused by the bankers because the Territorial Treasury was found to have well( over $2,500,000 in unpaid bills and $1,500,000 more owing than had been represented to the bankers before they made their own investi- | gation at the Auditor’s office. Thev | also attribute their refusal to make | the loan to the fact that cash re- | ceipts in the next few months will be $1,400,000 less than the optimis- tic figure previously given them.| These bankers gave one reliable person in Juneau only these two reasons for refusing the loan. No-‘i where, other than from Mr. Roden,; could the Empire find any evidence that the matters alleged by Mr. Roden had anything to do with the decision to refuse the loan. BANKERS STATEMENT Mr. Winslow, contacted by tele- phone shortly before press time, denied that any threats had been made to bring any suit against the : bank if it made the loan. Mr. Winslow was reluctant to make any statement because the Governor had asked him not to make any statement to the press giving his reasons for refusing the | loan. 1 i tinguished from fictitious schem "PUBLIC ENEMY normal, or regular workday mot‘ over 8 hours), or workweek (not; ! ment which must be met as a con- | dition under which these premiums| SEATTLE, Aug. 15—(®—A $2.- sation which may be due him un-|Corporation properties to the Per-! der the Wage and Hour Law for|manente Cement Company. i apply retroactively to all industries, | action was McComb explained, and are ap-|O'Donnel in behalf of himself and \EQUALIZATIO SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES | | | | ' Judge Rules Maryland State May Not Legalize Citizens’ Thoughts |act, was announced today by Wm.| Harry “The Cat” Brecheen ex-; BALTIMORE, Aug. 15—P— A {R.
