FIRST TEST OF STRENGTH IN

 BILL MAY FAIL OF PASSAGE

is deeper seated than mere limita- tion of legislative power of the local assembly. Senator Aldrich, who was the only member to take the floor against the measure and who made much of what he alleged was an eff fort on the pant of the Alaska Legis- lature to amend a United States statute" referring to the Indian Sev- crafty Act, was the first member to vote against the amendment despite the fact it was aimed to remove the ground for the objection he had just raised. .
 Senator Brown, who also voted against the amendment. declared that instead of attempting to pass law which would have to be validated by an act of Congress, the Legislature should pass memorial on the sub ject.
 Four Support Bill
 Four Senators. Aver, Chamberlin. Dimond and Hunt, champloned the measure in the session, which lasted two and one half hours. At the end of that time, the committee adjourned without final action, the bill being continued on the daily file, consid- eration to be resumed today unless it should be further continued.

The bill will come up tomorrow morning for third reading and final passage of which, from all indications, it will fail, the probable lineup being Aver, Chamberiin, Dimond and Hunt for, and Aldrieh, Brown, Dunn and snod. srass against passage.
 The first test of strength in the Senate on the Foster Literacy Bill, taken yesterday afternoon when that measure was under discussion in Committee of the Whole. indicated that the measure will die in the upper House on a tie vote unless there is switch in the lineup before 1t comes up for a third reading. To meet objections advanced against the bill on the ground that the Legisla- ttre lacks power to enact such law, Senator Chamberlin, one of its sup porters, introduced an amerhiment providing that should the bill be en' acted it would not become effective until it was validated by an act oi Congress.
 With this provision in the bill the Quest.cn of whether or not the liter ncy test is contrary to other statutes whether it is outside of our jurisdic tion, is not longer at issue, if il ever was" declared Senator Dimond who made strong argument foi passage of the bill

3l.-Members OF the Senate yester-
day afternoon had the honor OF

tors for the courtesy extended to
them.

Granville Marvil. and they were
with the pupils of Cannon school

school children were Mrs Katie Bu-
telle Handy, principal. and Miss Ber-
tha I. Locates. a teacher at the school,
and J. J. Allen. vice. president of the
