Seeing The

The Gallery

lay the vote, but it was finally
taken late Friday afternoon. Then
Hoopes asked permission to change
his vote after it had been announc
ed, and got decision from the
speaker permitting him to do so.
He then stated he would ask for a
reconsideration of his vote the fol
lowing day. This was stalling for
time. They apparently hoped to
high pressure another member to
change his vote, but were unsuc
cessful for the next morning the
vote stood 12 to 12, and the bill to
abolish the board was lost.
Carl Anderson, and Laws voted
to abolish. Ed Anderson and Ost
voted against. Ost was under heavy
pressure to vote otherwise and the
understanding is he and Carl An
derson had quite a set-to over the
matter. The next job for friends of
the board will be to get appropri
ation to continue its work. That
may prove difficult unless the vot
ers of the Territory can convince
some of the Legislators that they
represent^the people and not them
selves.
The House is still considering a
bill to provide for hospitalization
for Axel Werner. M. Johnson and
Laws accused Ed Anderson of
pushing this legislation in order to
get hold of Werner’s property and
a good time was had by all.
House killed the Cochran bill
providing for a refund of the sales
tax to Nome Light & Power Com
pany. Not regarded as a proper
charge against the Territory.
Cochran and Collins have intro-'
duced a bill to provide for a refer
endum on the closed shop.
;New revenue bill by Engebreth
provided for a tax of one cent per 1
pound on canned salmon. This to
be collectible during the next bi
ennium only. This would take
place of much smaller tax levied
during the past biennium. No other
important revenue bills yet.

Labor Bill May
Contain 10 Points
WASHINGTON, i/P>—Chairman
Hartley »R.-N.J.>, today ticked off
ten points the House labor commit
tee may put into a new labor bill,
including bans on the closed shop
and on union membership for fore
men and some columnists and ra
dio commentators.
Some of the items already have
been handed to a drafting crew to
be translated into legislative lan
guage. All are subject to formal
votes in the commiuee.
They are intended to reduce or
eliminate such things as jurisdic
tional strikes, secondaiy boycotts,
and strikes ordered by only a
small percentage of a union’s
membership.
Hartley told a reporter he thinks
there is “a good chance” the com
mittee will agree that radio and
news reporters who ‘‘mold public
opinion” should be forbidden to
join unions. He said reporters who
do ‘‘straight away” news writing
should be exempt from the ban.
It would be in line with a sug
gestion by former publisher J. Da
vid Stern, who earlier this year
suspended and sold his Philadel
phia Record and Camden, N. J.,
Courier and Post. Stern told the
committee a CIO American news
paper strike destroyed the papers.
None of Hartley’s ten points di
rectly deals with the issue before
the committee at the moment—
charges of Communism in the la
bor movement.
CHICAGO, (#*)—A third body
was recovered today from the de
bris of an explosion that leveled a'
three-story brick building in the
Loop yesterday and would have
taken a huge toll had it occurred
on a business day. More than 30
persons were injured.
The body, that of a man, was
taken to the county morgue where
efforts to identify it were to be
made. One person had been miss
ing and firemen believed the body
might be his.
The blast shook the area and
shattered hundreds of windows in
buildings over a radius of a block.

Deaths Mounting
In Palestine
(By Carter L. Davidson)
JERUSALEM, (/P) — Deaths by
violence in Palestine mounted to
22 in three days with the shooting
of a Jewish curfew violator in Tel
Aviv today as the British army,
maintained martial law over a
third of the Holy Land’s 700,000
Jews.
British officials reported that
Isaac Poli, 30-year-old Jewish ex
serviceman, was shot and killed
while bicycling in Tel Aviv when
he failed to heed a soldier’s order
to halt.
His death was the second trace
able to control measures imposed
to facilitate a hunt for Jewish un
derground fighters. Ketti Shalom,
four-year-old Jewess, died in a
hospital yesterday, officials said
she was hit in the back of the head
and her mother was wounded in
the leg by bullets fired at Ketti’s
father, leaving the house in viola
tion of a curfew.
Martial law was in force for
more than 250,000 Jews in Jerusa
lem’s oldest and biggest Jewish
district, the Mea Shearim section
and in a northern coastal-plain
area measuring some four by 10
miles and embracing Tel Aviv, Pe
tah Tiqva, Benei Beraq and other
Jewish communities.

Coast Guard
Rescues Crewmen
CAPE ELIZABETH, Me. (/P)—
Coast Guard, manning a breeches
buoy rigging, today rescued the
crewmen of the collier Oakey L.
Alexander, wrecked on the rocks
off High Head here in a fierce
coastal storm.
The first two brought ashore
from the 8,200-ton craft were Da
vid Rogers, 18, of Norfolk, Va.,
messman, and Lorenz Connelly.
40, of Boston.
“All hands are safe,” gasped
Rogers as he struck the ground af
ter his trip across 150 yards of
turbulent shoal water.
The collier, a veteran in Norfolk
to Portland coal transportation.,
broke in two about 4:30 a.m. EST.
as she neared Portland, her port
of destination.

LONDON (d*)—Britain lifted the
last phase of her ban on electricity
powered factory production today
and hundreds of thousands of
workers returned to their jobs af
ter three weeks of idleness.
But even on the first day of
“normalcy” over-strained generat- 4
ing plants stalled production in
some key areas, imposing a 45
minutes "load shedding” that cut
power by 15 per cent in southwest
England, 10 per cent in the south
east and central parts of the island
and five per cent in the mideast.
