Edition JUNEAU, ALASKA, SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1951 Word Fight TELEPHONE RATE CHANGE ORDINANCE HAS FIRST READING A good deal of business was ac- complished in a three-hour session of the Juneau City Council last evening, including the passage, on first reading, of an ordinance ad- justing monthly rates of service by the Juneau-Douglas Telephone Co. Rates are based on type of service given instead of type of instru- ment installed. Monthly Rate Schedule Rates set for one and two-party business phones, $6; one and two- party residence, $4; four-party re- sidence, $2.82; business extensions, $2.75 each; residence extensions, $1.50 each; PBX rental, $5; PBX line, 35. Rates were based on the need to raise $20,179.85 annually to meet operating costs, depreciation, utility taxes and a fair return on invested capital and to make necessary plant improvements. The company is required to make a yearly report of operations to the Council. L. A. Sturm Agreement A resolution was read regarding an agreement with L. A. Sturm to pay damages for breaking his lease on the basement of the AB Hall, where he has his lockers. Provisions were that the City pay $14,500 to Sturm, plus a $500 option on the Hanson lots Nos. 6 and 7 in Block 225 which the city took for a new locker site, and to refund $900 ad- vance rental. This is to be placed in escrow until the premises are vacated by Sturm within 45 days and not more than 60 days after notice to move is given. A letter was read from the Alaska Public Works indicating that the low bidder on the Alaska Office Building would be prepared to begin construction May 1. There was some discussion on types of bids to be called for on. the demolishing of the present buildings on the future site of the Territoridl Building by May 1 Garbage Scattering A petition signed by 18 residents of Thane requested the enforce- ment of a city ordinance reguiring covered vehicles for garbage haul- ing. Protest was made against the scattering of refuse along the road to the city dump resulting in many flat tires for the residents of Thane from nails and broken glass, Dan Livie was present and reinforced the argument. The Council directed the City Clerk to write the garbage disposal companies regarding the matter and to publish a warning to in- dividuals hauling their own refuse and to those who might be hauling debris from demolished buildings. The Council discovered that it paid to call for bids on 12 kegs of nails. Low and successful bidder who promised immediate delivery was Nick Rocovich of the Juneau Linoleum and Hardware Store for $1°2.35. Other bicders ranged up to $210.70. On garbage disposal of 14 cans twice weekly for a year contract Acme Disposal Service was low with $16.80 as against $39.20 by Peterson Refuse Co.

ROME.—The inside fact about the new armament program just voted by the Italian parliament is that it was put across only after some heroic backstage wire-pulling which few people, even those in official life, know about. The behind-the- scenes story illustrates what terrific uphill obstacles the United States faces in both rearming Europe and inspiring internal reforms over here. The rearmament move really be- gan when Foreign Minister Count Carlo Sforza, a great friend of the United States, became worried about the bad press Italy was getting in the United States and asked some of his American newspaper friends about it. Their reply was: “Don't you realize that American boys are dying in Korea, that we all face ADAMS AWARDED JUDGMENT IN DAMAGES CASE Horace O. Adams was awarded $1,306.50 damages this morning from the Ketchikan Wharf Com- pany by Judge George W. Folta in the District Court. Adams had asked $5,000 compensation for in- juries to a leg received in December, 1949 on the company’s Juneau dock.

Waino Hendrickson, to appropriate $165,000 to complete the Territorial office building in Juneau as orig- inally planned, was killed by the indefinite postponement route yes- terday afternoon. The vote was 13-11. Several prev- ious attempts to table the indefinite- ly postponed bill had failed, but yesterday’s vote, coming shortly after the House had voted to table a bill increasing the motor fuel tax, apparently killed the building appropriation for this session. The motor fuel tax increase, if adopted with certain amendments, would have placed an additional $400,000 or more in the General Fund, The $165,000 building appropria- tion would have made it possible to complete the office building as orig- inally planned, with five stories completely finished. Funds available, $600,000 from the Territory and $600,000 from the}, Federal Government, will provide for a four-story building. Deficit Shown Without the increased motor fuels tax, Rep. Glen Franklin warnec the House members, the Territory is going to have a deficit of around $2,500,000 for the next biennium. He cited the $18,319,000 general appropriations bill, $1,150,000 in special approriations, $2,660,000 in “frozen” 1949 appropriations, and $1,274,00 in obligations, including the $600,000 appropriation for an office building and $674:000 for a building at the University of Alaska. To this total of $23,403,000, the Ways and Means Committee chair- man added a million dollars for civilian defense. Estimated revenues for the biennium, he said, are $18,- 000,000 and there is $2,000,000 cash on hand. He estimated the increased pack tax on canned salmon, if ap- proved, will reduce the total deficit to the $2,500,000 figure. J “Mind Your Business” Receiving a sharply worded mes- sage from the Senate to the effect that the upper body will neither re- ceive nor act upon House bills until the House gets to work and passes some Senate bills, House members did not hesitate more than a few | minutes before sending the Senate @ message just as barbed. “You tend to the business of the Senate and we'll tend to the affairs of the House,” the message concluded after reciting some of the work the House has accomplished during the session The House, by an 8-16 vote, re- fused to receive a Senate bill pro- viding pay increases of from 10 to 50 per cent for Territorial officials and employes. The bill was rejected after it was pointed out that pay. raises were provided in the General Appropriations Bill. The House voted to concur in Senate amendments tp Rep. Barnes’ bill to provide for licensing of sports fishermen. Principle Senate amend- ments set the effective date as July 1951, and exempted all Indian, Eskimos and Aleut residents from { the provisions of the bill. i MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS SENATE (COM. QUESTIONS SORE THROAT EW YORK, March 17—(®—Un- derworld bigshot Frank Costello, flouting orders of a Senate Crime Committee for the second day in a row, refused today to answer ques- tions. , The first question put to the re- calcitrant witness was: “Mr. Cos tello, did you have a meeting with Mr. (former Mayor William) O’Dwyer in 1942?" Costello, scowling, said he would not answer “until I am fully well and able to. His voice was raspy, hoarse, and barely audible. Sen. Estes Kefauver, (D-Tenn), committee chairman finally ex- cused Costello from the stand, and directed that he be examined by a committee phys: Costello, who had walked out yes- terday in defiance of the committee, left the room, drew his overcoat tightly about him, and headed out- side for a taxicab. “I'm going back home to bed,” he said. Kefauver said arrangements would be made later for a doctor to make the throat examination to determine fitness of the reputed crime-ring ruler to testify.

Mrs. Goodwin was taking a nap at the time and was awakened by the smoke, She was helped from the apartment by her son Bill and two other men to the marquee on Second Street and along the mar- quees to the Simpson Building. There she was helped to safety. Flames from the fire quickly swept up the stairway into the false roof of the building and the false ceiling of the Goodwin apart- ment. The fire call at 7:20 p. m. took the Volunteer Fire Department whose members quickly put out the fire on the stairway. Firemen had to chop holes in the | roof of the building to get at the fire between the false and real roofs. Hose lines were laid from the corner of Second and Seward Streets and from the corner of Third and Main Streets. Hose from Third and Main had to be taken over the roofs of buildings. The fire, reported by Henry Mes- serschmidt, was under control about 8:30 p. m. At about 8:40 fire was discovered under the floor of the apartment’s bathroom in rags packed around the sewer pipe. It was quickly put out. Main damage to the building and contents was by water and smoke roof. The building was partially covered by insurance.

The Senate this morning passed by a 10-4 vote a bill amending the Engineers’ and Architects’ Licensing Act to eliminate the $250 permit fee for non- residents. The high Tee was enacted two years ago. Its repeal was supported by a majority of the members of the Board of Examiners for architecs and en- gineers, By JIM HUTCHESON Alaska’s Republican factional poli- tics broke wide open on the Senate floor last night. After Sen, Gunnard M. Engebreth of Anchorage and Elton Engster oi Juneau exchanged bitter polit- ical thrusts, Sen. Howard Lyng, Nome Democrat, entered the arena to give it bi-partisan overtones. The fight was over a substitute Senate bill that would provide the election of political party delegates to national conventions by a primary election in presidential years. The bill was introduced by Sen. Anita Garnick, Juneau Republican, Day-Long Scrap Engebreth had waged a day-long fight. for the substitute measuve and.. finally tried to get the rules sus- pended by a two-thirds vote for a vote on final passage. The move failed by one vote, 10 to 4, on a rolleall, He then asked for the floor on personal privilege and charged in tense voice: “Without personal animosity, 1 want to say that this is a case where the will of the majority un- allowed prevailed.” Hits at White He referred to Albert White, gen- eral counsel for the Republican party of Alaska as “Boss White" and alleged Engstrom was prejudic- ed because he is chairman of the Alaska Republican Central Com- mittee “which would have its teeti pulled out by the bill.” He charged, “One man, Boss White, controls the deiegation to the national convention. He has votes in his pocket. He deals with Taft and others and says I have three votes from Alaska.” More “Boss White” He said that if the nation goes Republican “Boss White will make all Federal appointments in Alaska. 1 am glad to see that most Demo- crats went along for the bill because First Engstrom, then Lyng re- plied sharply to Engeoreth, former school teacher, now an Anchorage business man.
