ANTIFREEZE
BILL BEATEN
BY SENATE
ANTI-FREEBE bm-bm-bm-bm baz
The territorial senate voted today
to leave the board of administration
its full quick-freeze equipment.
It defeated 12 to 4 the bill by
Sen. Steve McCutcheon iD-Anch
oragei to restrict the board’s fund
freezing power over special appro
priations to 50 per cent of any ap
propriation.
The only votes for the bill were
by Sens. Walter Huntley, R.M. Mac
Kenzie, Gunnard Engebreth and
McCutcheon All but Dr. MacKcn
zie, of Ketchikan, are from the
third division.
The only arguments on the bill
were against, it—by Sen. John Bu
trovieh (R-Fairbanks) and Sen
Howard Lyng (D-Nome).
Two bills were introduced in the
senate today by Engebreth.
One would increase the member
ship of the territorial board of ed
ucation to seven members from the
present five. Four would still be on
the basis of one from each division.
It proposed having three appointed
from the territory at large instead
of the present one.
His other bill proposes an amend
ment to the Alaska income tax act
to set forth that excess profits taxe
are not included in the Federal in
come tax on which the Alaska tax
is based. The Alaska tax is 10 per
cent of what a person or firm pays
in Federal income taxes. The >
amendment would specify that
“Federal income tax” means only
the normal tax and surtax.
“Freeze” Issue
In discussing the board of ad
ministration "freeze” issue both Bu
trovich and Lyng cited instances in
which the board authority to with- ;
hold funds got the territory out of
tough financial spots.
Butrovich suggested the restric
tion on the fund-freezing power
"could put the territory in an em- j
barrassing position.”
Lyng declared the measure was
aimed at limiting “what is perhaps
the most important board w'e have
in our setup. When you start to
limit its powers, you weaken the
board.”
He cited its membership—“all the j
territory's elective officials and two I
appointive officials, the governor;
and the commissioner of educa
tion.”
“I think it is highly essential,"
he added, “that we don’t interfere
with its essential duties.”
Lyng cited the problem that
arose when defalcations were dis
covered in the treasurer’s office. He j
declared that if the board had not I
been able to step in with a quick- j
freeze action “the territory prob- j
ably could not have borrowed from !
banks in the emergency. We were!

The Washington!
Merry-Go-Round!
By DREW PEARSON
(Copyright, 1951, oy Bell Syndicate, Inc.. •
Washington-President Tru
man and top advisers decided last
week that the St. Lawrence water
way, a raging issue in congress lor j
two decades, must no longer be de- j
layed if the United States is to |
maintain a strong defense in the
future.
Most, surprising endorsement oi
tire seaway came from mobilization
boss Charles Wilson, who once op
posed it. However, even such im- j
placable foes as Sen. Tom Connall.v I
of Texas, Chairman of the Foreign j
Relations Committee, and Rep. i
Charles Buckley of New York have
now promised not to impede the
proposed canal joining Detroit and
Chicago with the Atlantic Ocean.
Citing the need for quick action,
two-fisted Rep. John Blatnik of
Minnesota, leading house crusader
for the St. Lawrence waterway,
told the White House meeting:
“There is no need for long hear
ings on thus. We know the whole
story from previous hearings. We
also know that we face a serious
deficit of iron ore for defense
(steeli in the next few years un
less we draw on the vast deposits
in Labrador the proposed waterway
can bring us."
“There’s still another reason,"

JENSEN ASKS
TO BE HEARD
BEFORE HOUSE
On reconsideration this morning,
the House voted 11-12, McCutcheon
not voting, on an executive session
to hear Mark Jensen at 2 p.m. to
morrow and he will not be heard.
Most of the arguments advanced
yesterday were put forward again
today. Voting against hearing Jen
sen’s remarks were Carlson, Con
right, Ilegnan, Gasser, Gundersen,
Hope, Madsen, Metcalfe, I’ollard,
Scavenius, Weils and the Speaker.
By BOB DEARMOND
Operating on the serial movie
theory that the best way to bring
back the .spectators is to leave tiling
in suspense, the House of Repre
sentatives yesterday afternoon left
unsettled the hottest issue of the
day _ whether or not to hear Mark
Jensen on investigations.
The question arose with the read
ing of a letter from Jensen — mem
ber of the House in 1949 and of a
special investigating committee.
Jensen asked that he be heard
by the House regarding matters he
had turned up last summer while
conducting an investigation. He
was making the request, he said,
because it has been alleged on the
floor of the House that he misused
his membership on the special in
vestigating committee.
Rep. Glen Franklin, who was also
a member of the special committee,
moved to hear Jensen in a Com
mittee of the Whole. When the
was vigorously protested, he with
drew the motion and moved to hear
Jensen in executive session at 2
p.m. Thursday.
“Headline Hunter”
“The old headline hunter is at
work,” commented Rep. McCutch
eon, who had claimed the title of
'most investigated guy in Alaska”
largely because of Jensen’s work.
“I can’t imagine that Jensen
would have anything to say that
would be of the slightest interest,”
Rep. Scavenius said. “He used his
position on the committee for pub
licity purposes.”
Rep. Andrew Hope said he could
see no value in such a session.
“Everything is done and past and
there is no use diging it up again,’
he added.
Rep. Franklin told the House
that some reflection had been cast
upon him because of his associa
tion with Jensen on the committee
and that he would like very much
to have the members hear what
Jensen has to say. Rep. Kay al::c
said he thought Jensen should bf
heard, so long as it is in executive
session — behind locked doors.
Kay was one of 13 who voted tc
hear Jensen, with 10 voting against
the proposition and McCutcheon
not voting.
But Kay was also the man who
put the suspense into the act. He
gave notice of his intention to re
consider his vote, thus holding fina
action on the matter another day
H.B. 21 on Tabic
Meanwhile ,a second “investigat
ing” bill, Rep. Kay’s H.B. 21 to
create a Legislative Council with
powers of investigation, was tabled
by a 21-3 vote on Kay’s own motion.
Passed by the House during the
afternoon session were H.B. 26,
amending the law relating to lobby
ing, and H.B. 34, to remove the
Governor from the Board of Budget
and put the Attorney General on
that board.
Tire House also passed S.B. 6, to
amend the law relating to penalties
on conviction of rape.
Memorials seeking a military
road from Unalakleet to Kaltag, a
road from Seldovia to Yakalof Bay.
and a road from Kake to Portage
were quickly passed by unanimous
vote.

ACHESON SAYS
U. S. POLICY
STILL HOLDS
Communist Attack on
Yugoslavia Would Strain
Fabric ot World Peace
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 —Mt—
Secretary of State Acheson said to
day any Communist attack on Yu
goslavia would dangerously strain
the fabric of world peace.
He told a news conference that ii
as specific as he can be now on
United States policy as to the pos
sibility of a Soviet Satellite assault
this spring on Yugoslavia.
In general, Acheson said, Amer
ican policy stands now as it was
summed up in President Truman’s
message to Congress last July 19.
after the outbreak of the Korean
fighting.
At that time, Mr. Truman warned
those who have the power to un
leash or withhold, acts of aggres
sion that any new aggressive moves
would strain the fabric of world
peace dangerously.
REORGANIZATION
OF TERRITORIAL
BOARDS APPROVED
Three bills to reorganize Terri
torial boards and commissions zip
ped through the House this morn
ing, in addition to one passed yes
terday.
This morning’s three would re
place the Governor on the Board of
Public Welfare, Alaska Develop
ment Board and Board of Health.
In each instance he would be re
placed by an appointive member at
large.
Territorial employes who are
members of reserve components of
the Armed Forces will be granted
up to 16' days’ leave a year with
pay for training purposes under
House Bill 13, unanimously passed
this morning by the House.
The House, however, did not pass
the emergency clause and the leave
bill, assuming that it will pass the
Senate, will not become effective
until 90 days after it is approved
by the Governor.
A deficiency appropriation of $2,
336.75 for the Territorial Board of
Public Accountancy was approved
unanimously by the House after
Rep. Franklin explained that the
original appropriation of $1,000 was
insufficient to set up the board.
Most of the expense, he said, will
not reoccur.
A committee substitute for Rep.
Carlson’s bill to provide for the
care of sick and disabled fishermen
was received this morning and sent
to the Committee on Ways and
Means.
Two new bills appeared in the
House this morning.
H.B. 49, by Carlson, "an Act to,
secure payment of wages of certain
employees,” was defeated in the
Senate Saturday and again yester
day by a narrow margin. It pro
vides that employers must have
sufficient assets at the beginning
of a pay period to pay the wages of
all persons to be employed, with
fine and imprisonment for viola
tion.
H.B. 50, by Rep. Hendrickson,
amends the law giving municipal
corporations the power to regulate
the use of streets. The Hendrickson
bill gives cities power to require a
license for the use of streets and
to collect a fee for such license. The j
municipality could also condition!
the issuance of such license upon'
the payment of taxes on vehicles
The House adjourned at noon un
til tomorrow at 11 o'clock and had !
i a heavy schedule of committee
meetings for this afternoon.
THREE EMBARK ABOARD
BARANOFFOR SEWARD
Embarking on the Baranof yes
terday afternoon were three pas
sengers for Seward. They were Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Roley and Mrs
Sawyer. The Baranof is scheduled
southbound Sunday morning.
O. T. Finney of F'aii banks is
stopping at the Baranof Hotel.
PRACTICE ALERTS
TO BE INSTITUTED
FOR ALL SCHOOLS
With the cooperation of the
school officials, the civil defense
council hopes to institute practice
alerts in all schools to teach the
children how best to protect them
selves in case of attack.
The use of the Bureau of Public
Roads warehouse on the Glacier
Highway north of the Smith Dairy
as an auxiliary civil defense head
quarters was announced at Tues
day night’s meeting of the Juneau
Douglas civil defense council. Spe
cial warden to be stationed there
will be Clarence Bumgarner, super
intendent of the warehouse.
District 41 was definitely created
at the meeting with Earl Barcus
as captain. The district extends
from the Marsh mink farm on the
upper Glacier Highway to just be
yond the hill on Montana Creek.
Tt is hoped that additional districts
will be created at the next meeting
of the council next Tuesday eve
ning at 8 in the City Council
Chambers at the City Hall. The
new districts to be created are on
the Douglas Island highway north
of the bridge, and on the Glacier
Highway from Vanderbilt Hill to
Salmon Creek and from Salmon
Creek to the Charles Carter resi
dence.
As soon as sites for casualty
stations are determined, signs will
be made by the Juneau high school
manual training class to indicate
the stations. The civil defense
council is still perfecting the Boy
Scout messenger service. Written
permission from the boys’ parents
is necessary for the Boy Scouts to
join the organization.
Dean Williams and Milt Furness,
Sr. are organizing an auxiliary
communication system with ham
operators using walkie talkies with
a report on progress to be given
in the near future. Perfecting of
the auto pool for use in case of
an emergency is progressing.
Fire Chief Minard Mill is invest
igating the possibilities of tying
in additional sirens for subsequent
alerts. Police sirens may be used
with synchronization of all sirens
to be made so that the entire
Juneau, Douglas, Thane, Glacier
Highway and Auk Bay areas can
be alerted simultaneously.
MISSING LOCAL
MAN BELIEVED
IN KETCHIKAN
Investigations by Acting U. S.
Marshal Walter G. Hellan into the
disappearance of Jay O’Sullivan,
Juneau welder, whose whereabouts
were reported unknown since last
Thursday have revealed it is rea
sonably certain the irtan left Jun
eau Friday for Ketchikan by Ellis
Airlines.
The Marshal’s office learned this
morning that a man answering the
description given of O’Sullivan in
yesterday’s Empire had purchased
an airplane ticket Thursday morn
ing for Ketchikan and that plane
being unable to fly on that day due
to adverse weather conditions left
on the flight made Friday. As far
as can be learned no one has re
ported having seen him on Thurs
day. .
Hellan said if the passenger who
left on the Juneau flight to Ketch
ikan thought to be O’Sullivan was
actually the missing man. he pur
chased his ticket under the name
Ray Seaman. He took no baggage
on the flight and his clothing and
personal belongings were left in his
room at the Imperial Rooms.
Ketchikan authorities have been
asked to determine whether O’Sul
livan is in that city.

TANANA RIVER IS
FROZEN UP LOW;
TO MOVE EARLY!
NENANA. Alaska, Feb. 14 —espe
cial to The Empire) — The Tanana
River, opposite Nenana, has never
in the memory of most of the old
timers frozen up as low as it did
this last year. A1 Linder with 41
years of watching the ice go out
agrees with Sid Sheldon, Charley
Shade, Charley Wilson, Fred Clark,
Charley Griess and other oldtimers,
that the river being so low could
move early providing a large flow
of water came down, simply by rais
ing it, jerking the anchor ice loose,
and there would go the tripod.
Of course old Sol will have to do
a lot of shining before that large
flow of water comes down.
A1 Linder tempers this state
ment somewhat with a description
of an oldtimer named Calhoun who
lived up river from town across
from the Mission. It seems that
Calhoun kept a set of books com
parable to those that might be kept
by a chartered public accountant.
In those books he kept a daily rec
ord. weather, snowfall, etc.
He kept a twice monthly check
of the depth of ice as well as any
information he felt might be perti
nent to the annual spring break up.
A group of oldtimers, some 20 or
more, used to buy a certain number
of tickets and take them up to Cal
houn who would form a pool and
do the ticket marking based entire
ly, of course, on his scientific set of
books.
After a few years had passed,
Calhoun finally figured they were
ready for the kill.
After much checking and cross
checking of his records for many
years passed. Calhoun picked (the)
day. He then wrote a ticket on each
odd minute of the day from mid
morning until some time shortly
after 6 p.m.
A1 says the day Calhoun picked
was alright. It was a wonderful
show of scientific legerdmain, only
one thing was wrong with it. You
guessed it — the ice went out on an
even minute and the members of
the pool nearly had heart failure.
Linder still wonders where that
wonderful set of records went after
Calhoun passed on. 1
About all this little story shows
is that a fellow standing on the
deck of a halibut boat in South-1
eastern Alaska or a trapper above
Fort Yukon pulling up his traps,
has as much a chance or maybe
more, than a man who has spent 40
years within a mile of the Tanana
River.
TEACHERS
PICKET
SCHOOLS
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 14. — 0P>—
Most public schools remained closed
as union teachers picketed the
buildings.
Pickets bannered the schools fol
lowing a day-long series of con
ferences conducted by Gov. Luther
W. Youngdahl at which striking
teachers, janitors and clerical work
ers gained concessions. The janitors
and clerical help agreed to return
to work; the teachers refused.
At least two elementary schools
began classes with students keeping
on snowsuits in the fold rooms. A
number of other schools attempted
to open, but soon closed. The out
doors temperature stood at seven
below zero.
Some 63,000 students attend the
94 public schools. The schools closed
January 23, when the janitors
walked out.
Janitors and clerks accepted of
fers of $15.50 to $22.50 monthly pay
boasts. The teachers spurned an
across-the-board $100 annual in
crease. All are AFL affiliated.
TV TRAVELS 200 MILES
SPRINGFIELD, Mo..— M —Down
here in the Ozark hills, 150 miles
from the nearest television station,
television programs are coming in
strong, despite the accepted rule
that a telecast may be seen nor
mally in a radius of only 50 or 60
miles.
As a result, TV antennas are
sprouting from houses as far as 200
miles from the stations in Kansas

Damages Estimated in W.
Washington as Run
ning Into Millions
SEATTLE, Feb. 14 —Wl — More
than 4,600 Western Washington
flood refugees were returning to
their mud-filled homes today.
Damage estimates ranged from
$3,000,000 to $50,000,000 as Army
Engineers and the Washington
State Department of Conservation
began a survey of flood areas.
A weather forecast of slightly
warmer temperatures with light
showers In the flood-stricken area
today was counter-balanced by a
freezing level of about 3,000 feet
which was expected to hold snow
on the Cascade slopes.
Gov. Arthur B. Langlie said nu
merous requests for state assist
ance followed the five-day flood.
He warned that state aid would
be limited by the state’s small
emergency fund.
The Washington House of Repre
sentatives yesterday asked the gov
ernor’s office for a special survey
to determine whether action is
needed for protection against pos
sible spread of epidemics following

WALLACE, Idaho, Feb. 14 —W—
A man broke into a downtown
hardware store early today, shot
and killed a passerby, wounded two
others and finally was shot and
captured after a four-hour gun
fight with police.
The man who car.ried papers
identifying him as John Stoddard.
48, died an hour later without giv
ing any motive for the shooting.
Sixteen policemen, stationed in
windows across the street, had

gas bombs into the store. When the
gunman stopped shooting back,
they creft inside and found him
lying on the floor.
Police Chief Mace McCoy said
the man was not wounded but when
he made a sudden move, the of
ficer shot.
The shooting started about 5 a.m

and Mrs. Mary Hinton, a waitress,
were walking down the street in
front of the store. Hailstone dropped
as he held Mrs. Hinton’s arm. She
ran to a cafe next door and sum
moned Willis Maitland.
Maitland was shot as he raced
to the street and lay for more than
an hour before he could crawl to
safety. He was not ciit.cally
wounded.
The early morning gun fight in i
this mining town of 3,200 drew
scores of spectators to both ends ol
the street.
Hailstone, 33, a former rancher
from Billings, Mont., came here a
month ago to work in the mines.

Ryan Resigns
As Terr. Com.
Of Education
Dr. James C. Ryan announced
his resignation today as Alaska's
Commissioner of Education.
He said he had submitted his
resignation at the Territorial Board
of Education's meeting yesterday.
Dr. Ryan has held the post 10
years through one of the most dif
ficult eras in the Territory’s school
history when school problems mush
roomed during the military con
struction boom period.
He said there was no personal
clash with the board involved.
"The real reason is that I've been
working under such tremendous
pressure for 10 years, understaffed
and with no real relief in si.-tht,”
Ryan said.
"There has been no chance to keep
in contact with educational leaders
in the States," he continued, “and
no chance for recreation."
Ryan’s resignation is effective at
the end of the school year. He said
he had no plans for the future.
"I’ll make them between now
and June 30," Ryan said.
Ryan, 50, has one son in a Juneau
school.
Dr. Ryan came originally from
the University of Alaska Dean of
Education to take the commissioner
ship. The salary is $8,000 a year
Members of the board said they (
hoped to be able to fill the position
during the present session of the
Legislature. One member said they
agreed they must seek an educator I
of the administrative type because |
of the system’s great growth in i
Alaska. I
