MEMORIAL FOR RICHARDSON IS
 PUT IN PLACE
Ere cted in Pass Where Highway Crosses Alaska
 Range, Taylor Says

2 The monument to Gen. Wilds P. Richardson, pioneer Alaska trail and roadbuilder and for many years head of the Alaska Road Commission, has been put into place on the summit of the Alaska Range on Richardson Highway and is ready for dedication, it was made known here today by Ike P. Taylor, Acting Chief of the Commission since it's transfer from the War to the Interior Department. He arrived here today after a 6o-day absence inspecting and directing road work in interior Alaska.
 "The monument, a bronze plaque on a darke gray granite boulder mounted on concrete base, stands at commanding spot on the south side of Isabelle Pass. through which Ricardson Highway crosses the AL aska Range. It is directly along side the highway and will be view ed by thousands who travel that route every summer" he said.
 Dedication Next Summer
 Although no definite date has been fixed for it's dedication, it is MT. Taylor's belief that it will not be held until early next summer. Many of the old friends of Gen. Richardson in the interior and on the coast want to participate in the ceremonies and would not be able to do so if they were held this Fall.
 Snow has already fallen over most of the highway. Last week when MT. Taylor was enroute to the coast, there was from two to seven inches from Beals Cache, north of the Alaska Range, to Chitina, and three foot drifts had been shoveled out of several cuts on Thompson Pass north of Valdez This foretold early cessation of traffic.
 Work Progressed We'll
 Although handicapped by late start, lack of funds early in the season and heavy rainfall over a wide section of the interior, the road construction and maintenance program of the Commission moved ahead at a normal rate of speed, and conditions are satisfactory, MT. Taylor said. All of the crews are still working, but the maintenance gangs will have to quit in the near future.
 Bridge repairs on the section carried out by floods near Millers late in August will continue for another month. The construction work on, the Gulkana- -Chistochena project will also proceed for several weeks.

 enue Measure

WASHINGTON, March 8. An attempt to amend the new revenue bill by legalizing the taxing of beer was announced formally this after noon by Representatives Sullivan and Cullen, of New York, and Mo Cormack, of Massachusetts, all Democrats.
 They said the beer tax would bring $350 100000 annually and en- able Congress to eliminate taxes on amusements and communica- tions and reduce the manufactur- CTS excise taxes.
 The three Representatives also asserted the manufacture of beer would give employment to thous- ands of men. They attacked the proposed taxes on grape coneen- trates and malt as this would rec ognize an illegal business.
