LXXVIL, NO. 11,762 JUNEAU, ALASKA, TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1951 STATEHOOD VOTE PUT OFF, APRIL WASHINGTON, March 20.—(®— The Senate Insular Affairs Com- mittee today deferred until April 3 or later a vote cia statehood for Hawaii and Alaska. Chairman O’Mahoney (D-Wyo) said the delay was asked by Sena- tor Butler (R-Neb) because he had to be in Nebraska for an annual Republican observance of “Found- ers’ Day.” O'Mahoney told reporters the committee was not disposed to vote on the statehood bills in the absence of Butler, the ranking Republican member. Butler, in a letter to the com- mittee, expressed his view that the committee should not act upon cither statehood bill until a further hearing is held in Alaska. 21 FLY IN AND OUT OF JUNEAU ON PNA Pacific Northern Airlines carried 21 passengers yesterday with 13 going to Anchorage, two to Cordova, one to Yakutat and five arriving here from Anchorage.

The Washington Merry - Go - Round By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1951, by Bell Syndicate, Inc., (Ed. Note: Drew Pearson is on a flying tour of Europe and the middle East, surveying the world situation.) FRANKFORT.—At the same time that the West Germans want more American troops to protect them against the threat of the Red Army, a steady stream of strategic mater- jals is rolling out of Germany to help arm that Red Army. This secret aid to Russia does not represent the real sentiment of the West German people or their new born government. But it does represent the sell-both- sides-down-the-river attitude of the big industrialists. ~These are lhe| same industrialists who cozied u])l to Hitler and made his rearmament possible, also the same industrial- ists who now want to sabotage the Schuman plan for cooperative op- eration of the Ruhr Iron and Steel (Canflnuea on Page Four) well-known ( NOW IN PLACE; DOPE GIVEN ON SITUATION The Nenana ice tripod is now in place, Fred Clark and Bill Lucas when putting it in place, found that the ice directly beneath it to be 38 inches thick. This is slightly less than last year. The ice( according to Slim Avery, last year's manager, was 41 inches thick when he had the tripod set up one year ago. Don Clark, manager of the classic this year, says “There is about one foot less snow this year than last but according to the radio we had the coldest March 14 on record, 33 below in Nenana and 31 below in Fairbanks. Just what this proves I'm not sure. I did note though that Avery and quite a few oldtim- ers are playing dates during the first and second weeks in May, which leads me to believe that they seem to look for a fairly late break- up. “It’s always a constant source of wonder to me, that with so many experts on the breakup residing right [herc in Nenana,.why it is that no one in this home of the classic has ever received the award, at least i they haven'’t for the last 20 years. “It's usually awarded to a guy or gal that doesn’t know the Tanana from Ship Creek.” {BPW HEAR SEN_ATOR ITELL HE CWES ALL (N LIFE TO WOMEN To two women, he owes his life, his success and his position as a member of the Territorial Senate, Senator Heinie Snider told the wofen of the Business and Profes- sionel Womens Club at their lunch- eon meeting in the Baranof Ter- imce Room Monday, | This popular Republican senator ifrom the Third Division, who has | become as well known for the stor- ies he tells as for his independence politically, left no doubt among his listeners of his sincere regard for his wife and for his mother to whom he “owes everything in life.” As for his stories. . . he “talked his way into election as senator in the Third Division” and it was his wife who suggested that means of winning, he said. Snider, who was born in Holland, told of twice when his life was saved by his mother—once, when because of her he delayed his sail- ing for America and the ship he would have taken was lost on the Atlantic with all aboard drowned and again when he was lost at night in arctic Alaska, without matches and nearly frozen. “When I saw my mother coming toward me, heard her tell me to get up and walk, T realized that I had fallen asleep in the snow and { would have surely frozen to death. {...but I decided that I should obey | my mother and I forced myself to walk and walk and walk until day- light came.” “When my partner saw me as] I reached my cabin when daylight came, and he realized that I had spent the night in the open without matches, his comment was ‘Some-| one was surely praying for you. , ..’ and I knew it was my mother.” Senator Snider’s mother, 86 years old, still lives in Zaandam in Hol- land and, though he has not been back to his home country for over forty years, he talks to his mother by radio on every birthday. The BPW meeting was presided over by President Lucile Stine. Mrs. Kennéth Clem, program chairman, introduced the speaker. A convention report was made by Mrs. Frances Paul who said that the dates of the BPW Territorial convention to be held in Juneau will be May 26, 27 and 28. Guests at the meeting Monday were Mrs. Ruth Swanson, of Elfin Cove, and Mrs, Ethel Murphy, guests of Mrs. Aline Warner; Mrs. Isabell Miller of Haines House, Mrs. Edna Frank ,and Mrs. George A: Lingo of Anchorage, guest of her sister Mrs. Helen Monsen, STEAMER MOVEMENTS Baranof scheduled to sail from Seattle at 4 pm.

O'Dwyer, now U, S. Ambassador to Mexico, testified that crime in America “will be widespread” unless “we get an appropriation of $25,000,- 000 to $50,000,000 for a continuing investigation of it. “There is a national crime em- pire growing,” he said, “and it will get stronger if it isn’t stopped.” He urged a standing committee be set up to supervise a continuing in- quiry. Big-time rackets can't be curbed locally, the ex-mayor said, in de- manding the permanent Federal action. “As long as 15,000,000 people want to bet twenty billions of dollars,” he said, “and as long as you've got wires, information, racing sheets and newspapers giving full publicity and full information to that 15,000,- 000, you have something that is not entirely local. 69 CARRIED ON ALASKA COASTAL MONDAY FLIGHTS Passengers carried on Alaska Coastal Airlines Monday totaled 69, with six on interport, 28 arriving and 35 departing.

B. 61, amending upwatd the benefits for permanent partial disabilities under the Workmen's Compensation Act, failed to pass the House on a 12-10 reconsideration vote this morning. Yesterday, when the bill passed 13-9, Rep. Wilbur gave notice of his intention to reconsider. There was no debate when the bill :ame up for the second time, but Rep. Kay made a plea for its pas- sage. “This is not a harsh meas- ure, will not greatly increase in- surance rates and provides a very fair increase in the benefits to the people who work with their hands,” Kay said. He said, however, that he would not issue a call of the House for the two absent members, although their presence would assure pas-. sage of the bill. Reps. Laws and Degnan were ab- sent yesterday afternoon and thil morning, having gone to Sitka to| inspect the Alaska Pioneers’ Home. They were expected to return at: noon today. School Bills Senate Bill 92, to amend the law relating to the qualifications for the office of Commissioner of Educa- tion, held over for Rep. Scavenius’ reconsideration, again passed the House this morning. The vote was 16-6. On its first passage, yesterday, the vote was 18-4. The House this morning approved S. B. 54 appropriating $1,356.86 to compensate Alaska Coachways, of Fairbanks, for losses sustained on its school transportation contract during the polio epidemic of last fall, Also approved was S. B. 38, amending the law relating to re- funds to schools by the Territorial Department of Education. The House tabled by a 15-6 vote S. B. 50, which would limit the authority of City Councils to disap- prove school budgets. Three Conference Committee re- ports were adopted by the House this morning: On H. B. 47, relating to old age assistance from the De- partment of Public Welfare; on H. B. 107, the lengthy banking code for the Territory, and on 8. B. 5, relating to checks drawn without sufficient funds. All three bills now go to the Governor for approval. At 1:30 p.m. today the House was to go into joint session with the Senate to hear William Kepner on problems of civil defense, Monday Afternoon During the Monday afternoon ses- sion of the House a bill to aliow the Territorial Board of Education to establish the qualifications for the office of Commissioner of Edu- cation was passed by a vote of 18-4, but was held over another day on a reconsideration notice by Rep.

Veteran legislators said it was only the second instance they could recall in recent years in which a Gruening veto had been disregarded. The over-riding motion was made by Steve McCutcheon, Anchorage Democratic floor leader. The bill involved would aliow a chattel mortgage on merchandise to be carried over 4s a preferential lien against new stocks of goods after the originally mortgaged mer- chandise is sold without retiring the mortgage. Why Vetoed In his veto message, the Gov- ernor declared: “It would validate faulty gport- gages to favor mortgages at the ex- pense of other creditors. It would promote indolence in . mortgagees by giving them a preferred claim notwithstanding their failure to protect themselves. It is my view that those it is designed to benefit in strong position to protect themselves.” . The Governor added it was his belief that few if any such laws are in effect in the States and that the courts have held against them. He said he believed such a law “would open the door to fraud.” { McCutcheon said bankers had ad- vised that the law was based on a ashington State statute, Senator) Jéhn Butrovich, Fairbanks.

The bill pro- posed $1,100,000. Senator Howard Lyng, Nome Democrat, offered a finance committee amendment to cut the amount to $250,000. Senator Frank Barr, Fairbanks Democrat, branded that as: “Ridiculous. It cuts the program down to a useless skeleton.” He objected because the $250,000 lcontnlned only $50,000 for admin- | istration and $200,000 would be elig- ible for Federal matching. He said ‘transportation costs of administra- tors would consume all of the $50,000 in the biennium. He declared: “This is a vital biennium. If an enemy is to at- tack, it probably will be in the next two years.” Lyng countered that the big question is “where is the money coming from?” He minimized the likelihood of attack .and contended if there were one the military would declare martial law. Dr. R. M. MacKenzie, Ketchikan Democrat, responded that critics are subscribing to the “it can’t hap- pen here” philosophy.

Nine separate amendments were offered, ranging from $250,000 to $550,000. All lost on vots of 8-8 or 7-9.

It was approved 9 to 7 by the Sen- ate, with a $500,000 appropriation. Sen. Frank Barr’s original bill proposed a $1,100,000 appropriation. Of that total, $300,000 was proposed for administrative expenses, train- ing and for some types of supplies and $800,000 for matching by Fed- eral funds. The $500,000 approved by the Sen- ate this morning included $150,000 for administrative and $350,000 for Federal matching. That would mean a total of at least $850,000 in com- bined Territorial and Federal funds for carrying out the program. The bill now goes to the House. Barr suggested the $500,000 amendment that finally won 9-7 approval, It was the tenth amend- ment that had been submitted on the appropriation clause. Nine had been suggested yesterday afternoon and last night. They ranged from $250,000 to $550,000. Those voting for the $500,000 amendment that broke the log jam Barr. Beltz, Huntley, MacKenzie, Mc- Cutcheon and Republicans Gar- nick, Ipalook, Engebreth. On final passage of the measure, Senator Lyng, who had been the proponent of the original ,$250,000 amendment proposal, SWung across to vote “yes.” That raised the vote to 10-6, but before it was announced Senator McCutcheon changed hif vote from “yes” to “no” in an obvi- ous maneuver to make himself eligible for the eventual inter- house conference committee as ¢ nominal opponent. The Senate spent most of the morning acting on House amend- ments to numerous Senate bills. It was involved at noontime in the bill to reduce hair seal bounties t $3 from the present $6 and to elim- inate much of the Arctic region from the bounty zone.

WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATURE QUITS FOR SPECIAL MEETING OLYMPIA, Wash,, March 20 —(® —Lawmakers called it quits on the 32nd State Legislature last after Governor Langlie told them: 1. To come back in a week for another attempt to balance the state budget. 2. To be prepared to write a new omnibus appropriations bill; he plans to veto the one adopted during the 71 controversy-ridden days of the session that ended at 11.08 p.m. yesterday. Langlie said the special session, the second of his present adminis- tration, would begin a week from today. Legislators are pledged by resolutions adopted in both Houses to consider only problems dealing with revenue and taxation, prob- lems they couldn't solve in the reg- ular session, Other than House Speaker Charles Hodde’s guess that it “won’t be less than 72 hours,” there was no esti- | mate of how long the special ses- sion would last.
