LIFTING THE LID
AT JUNEAU
JJJWEAU, W — Twenty-eight
members of the legislature return
ed Thursday . noon from Sitka
whpre they inspected the Pioneers
Home and visited Alaska Native
Service institution on Japanski is
land. They were well pleased with
the.* trip, which however, was
stormy !>oth ways.
Both Houses met at two o’clock
in the afternoon. The most im
jwrtant was done by the Senate
which passed Senate bill 500 to es
tablish a system of experience rat
ing-credits for employers coming
under provisions of the unemploy
ment compensation act, putting the
waiting period before the filing of
claims for unemployment compen
sation benefits from two weeks to
one week.
The House named conference
committees to discuss with the
Senate lour of their bills.
Somewhere in the House are 59
measures, bills, resolutions and
memorials still to be acted upon.
The Senate has a total of 76 in
the same category.
JUNEAU, (iP)—Senator Norman
Walker announces he has submit
ted his resignation to Governor
Gruoning from the Senate effec
tive after consideration of three
tax measures he has introduced
with Senator Rivers:- the net in
come tax, general property tax,
and uniform trade license tax .
The announcement was made in
a copy of a letter read to the Sen
ate. Walker 3aid the action was not
hasty, but “it appears I am at var
iance with my colleagues in the
Senate on what I consider a vital
issue. Formerly our differences
have been settled in a friendly
amicable manner. Also my col
leagues from the First Division dif
fer from me on legislation which
I consider vitally affects the First
Division. The only member of the
House of Representatives from my
home town appears to believe I

office in the Territory. All of this

France Knows How
To Make A Bombs
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. pP)—
Frederic Joliot-Curie, ranking
French expert on atomic energy,
implied today that France, too,
knows how to manufacture atomic
bombs.
In a highly technical article
written for the magazine United
Nations World, the French scien
tist, one-time assistant to Mme.
Mjirie Curie, declared that the
principle of the atomic bomb is
“simple.”
. •
Without specifically saying in
cold, black type that France has
the “know-how” to build atomic
bombs, Joliot-Curie, nevertheless,
gave the impression that France
can turn out atomic bombs too.
And he added:
“We are thus approaching the
third stage: that of practical appli
cation of atomic energy to improve
the living standards of mankind.’
ture is largely nullified.”
| Walker asked the Governor ^or
| prompt action upon his request for
| resignation, and continued: “As a
1 private citizen I intend to use
* whatever influence I may possess
to have removed from office those
whom I believe do not fully un
derstand the needs of the Terri
tory.”
The only comment came from
Senator Cochran, who recalled 12
years of service in the Legislature
with Walker and hoped he will re
consider his action.
Walker has been a powerful fig
ure in recent history as leader of
the Walker “bloc”. Walkers term
expires this year.
The Governor quickly replied to
Walker’s resignation by stating it
apparently would take most of the
remaining days of the session to
complete the consideration of the
tax revenue, therefore your resig
nation would actually take place
at the conclusion of the session.
The Governor also said he had
no legal authority to accept or re
ject the resignation of any mem
ber of the legislature.

Coal Strike May
Come April 1
WASHINGTON, i£>> — John L
Lewis and his United Mine work
ers <AFL> won temporary delay
today in the execution of the Su
preme Court mandate ordering
them to withdraw their April 1
coal strike notice and reinstate
their contract with the govern
ment.
Despite government pleas for an
immediate crackdown on the
UMW chieftain to avert any possi
bility of another strike, the high
court refused to be rushed into
setting a deadline for Lewis and
the union to comply with the deci
sion handed down against them
last Thursday.
That verdict held both defend
ants in contempt of court for their
refusal to obey an anti-strike in
