HARDY MEASURE
FAILS TO PASS
ON final VOTE
Repeal Bill Loses 10 to g.
Henderson Raise Approved
Subsidy Passes.

BY vote of 10 TO 6, the House
ing the repeal of the Alaska Bone
Dry Law and extend to all courts
the Volstead Act as the local law
of prohibition. Grier, Murray
Moody, Hardy. Sheldon and Speaker
Wilcox voted for the bill with, Ell
liot, Ferguson, Grant. Jensen, Ny
len, Ross, Sherman, Sundquist, Paul
and Watson opposing.
Murray was the only member to
speak on the matter of repeal. He
urged the bills passage. Admit
ting that there was a difference of
opinion among lawyers as to the
Territory's right to pass such a
law, he said he was convinced If
passed the law would be upheld. In
support of his contention he cited
an opinion rendered by the Circuit
Court of Appeals in case taken up
from the District Court.
Defends Its Propriety.
Mr.. Murray upheld the propriety
of repeating the Bone Dry Law. He
called attention to the conflicts be-
tween it and the Yolstead Law mo
one has ever pointed out to me a
single good reason why it should
not be repealed" he said, adding
that numerous reasons had been of
fered for the repeal. He denied
that the people of Alaska had ever
voted on the law at issue, declaring
the vote was on whether alcoholic
liquor should continue to be sold
or manufactured in Alaska.
Pointing out that officials now
are forced to violate the provisions
of either one or the other of the
two laws in order to issue alcoholic
liquor on permits. even to save
human life, he declared this was a
bad situation and certainly did not
make for respect for law enforce
ment nor efficient administration
of justice. He described methods
of procedure used in certain court
instances that, he claimed. worked
injustice to persons involved. "These
acts today do not work out in the
Territory of Alaska. Anyone who
denies that either is leading a
sheltered life and is unaware of
what is going on, or, he is saying
that which is not the TRUTH he
asserted.
Predicts Modification.
In concluding Mr.. Murray pre-
dicted the time lis not far distant"
when Congress will modify the Ma
tional Prohibition Act. This will
not be done through activities of
..bootleggers and those who support
them" but owing to a demand from
the everyday citizen for reasons of
economy. People, he predicted. are
going to wake up to the situation
as it does exist and demand al
change. Regulation for purposes
of revenue would result.
Pass Salary Bill.
Mr.. Jensen's measure raising the
salary of the Commissioner of Edu-
cation from $4,000 to $1,000 passed
the House by unanimous vote.

BETTER ANTI.AIR i CRAFT DEFENSES
Navy Dept. Makes Important
 Announcements

Washington, April 2S.-Through Intensive training, the navy has not only increased the efficiency of anti aircraft fire, but IS on the threshold sf ordnance developments in anti aircraft guns, expected to increase .he range accuracy and effective ,ess of such fire.
 A new hye-lnch weapon, repre- Ienting a considerable advance over the present S-inch gun, has reached an advanced point of development, and a number will t~ installed on the battleship Maryland late this summer when she is overhauled. At the same time she will be given a system of fire control for the guns. The equipment on battleships at present does not include a ire con- trol system for such weapons.
 Reports which became available today for the first time are regard cd at the navy department as dem onstrating that navy aircraft fire Is an important factor in repel- ling airplane attacks, despite the views of some aviation officials to the contrary,
 Since last June the navy has con ducted tests which resulted in hits against sleeve targets lowed by air planes in 4s per cent of the cases, The firing was part of a regular practice course carried out in the West Indies, off California, and at other points The targets, however, were only one-eleventh the size of the wings section of a naval bomb ing plane and one-half the size of the fuselage, so that Secretary Will bur believes that ha dactual planes been used, hits would have been made In 95 per cent of the attacks
 The system of anti-airCraft attack has developed to the point that the fire is almost continuous, salvos be ing maintained at periods of ever! four seconds. The targets are picked lip as soon as discernible by a glass or at over 5000 yards. The effective ness of the hits has been such II many cases that it was impossible tt find trace Of the sleeve targets aft er they had fallen.
