Asks Spec’l Session
Alaska Legislature
Consider Taxes
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, «/P)—'The
Anchorage city council asked Gov
ernor Gruening at a speciel meet
ing yesterday to call a special
session of the Territorial Legis
lature immediately to consider
new tax measures.
Council members blamed the
city’s financial troubles on the
city government’s lack of power
to raise money. They said they
had the full back of the Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce and that
“all the cities’’ in Alaska were in
the same fix.
Spokesmen said they believed
a special legislative session should
memorialixe congress to author
ize cities to levy a 1 percent tax.
Poulsen estimated that such a
tax would give Anchorage a $250,
000 additional income.

A woman called up for jury
duty refused to serve because she
didn’t believe in capital punish
ment.
Trying to persuade her, the
judge explained—“this is merely
a case where a wife is suing her
husband because she gave him a
thousand dollars to pay down on a
fur coat and he lost the money in
a poker game.”
“I’ll serve,” she said, “I could
be wrong about capital punish
ment.”
