Action On Development Board Postponed UntiI
 Mdrch Special Session

SEATTLE, Dec. Il (by Associated Press).-The house committee on ter ritories, at it's meeting today, plans to drop the Alaska development board bill for the present session, and not to hold hearings on it until the new congress meets in special sessions, according tn special to the Post-In- telligencer from Washington printed this morning.
 The reasons given are that it is feared President Wilson will veto the measure, inasmuch as Secretary Of the Interior Payne disapproves of it, and if the measure is defeated at this session the hearings will have to be held again because of the changing personnel of the committee.
 An aggressive campaign for the bill and extended hearings are being planned when the special session of congress opens.
