REPEAL SOUGHT ON PENSION ACT
 IN HOUSE BILL
Would Wipe Out Teacher, Pension System - Give
 Them Age Allowances

Repeal of the Teachers Pension Act and inclusion of teachers in public schools of Alaska in the Old Age Allowance system are the aims of two bills introduced in the House today by Representative Taylor, C'ordova. Two other measures were introduced, one by Representative Nerland Fairbanks, relative to ad- ministration of small estates, and the other by Representative Me- Cutcheon, a private relief measure.
 Bill No 37, by Taylor, provides for the outright repeal of Chapter 83 of the Session Laws of Alaska, 1929, which created the Teachers Pension system.
 The companion measure, No. 36, by the same member, seeks to ex- tend the Old Age Allowance law to the same profession. It provides that persons 55 years old or over, engaged in teaching continuously for 25 years, IS of which must have been continuously in the Public Schools of Alaska, are eligible for such allowances.
 Bill No. 38, by MT. Nerland, seeks to substitute posting of notices, instead of publication, of admin istration of small estates not ex- ceeding $1 ,000 in value.
 MT. McCutcheon's bill asks for an appropriation of $l l,050 for Peter Knudsen for expenses incurred in searching for Brick Jansen and Ar thur Anderson who were ship wrecked between Dillingham; and Bethel.
 After debating for an hour minor amendments to bill proposing other amendments to the motor ve- hicle licensing act, and defeating all of the proposed changes, the House recommitted the measure to the Committee on Roads and High was for further study.
 Senate Bill No. IS. repeating the Prospectors' Aid Act, and Senate Bill No. 28, to amend sections 763 and 764 of the Compiled Laws of Alaska, relative to fences along railroad rights of ways, were read for the second time and advanced to third reading for tomorrow.

C0LDSTE|N WINSPIL0T UNHURT AS TN CLOSE RACE;|M|TKOF CRASHES TICKET CARRIESIN SNOWSTORM
Sleet on Wings Said to Be
 Cause of Plane Crack Up on Channel

The seaplane Mitkof, with Pilot M. w. Sasseen at the controls, side-slipped into a crack-up in the bay early this afternoon. No pas sengers were aboard and Pilot Sas- seen was unhurt, suffering only a thorough ducking in the cold wat CTS.
 According to several who ob- served the accident, the plane was circling preparatory to landing at the Union Oil Dock, flying relative ly low over the water, and in banking the plane for a turn, it side-slipped, apparently did not re- act in time to pull out, struck the water on one pontoon and cap- sized.
 Spectators said the pilot quickly scrambled out of the cabin and climbed on top of the pontoons.
 Go to Rescue
 A small boat immediately put out and lowed the plane and pilot to shore near the rock dump. Later crew from the Tallapoosa arrived and aided in placing empty oil drums under the plane to float it preparatory to towing it to shelter.
 Although neither J. V Hickey, owner of the plane, or the pilot could be reached at press time, those in charge, of the salvaging believed that the inability of the ship to pull out of the bank was due to conditions caused by snow on the wings.
 The Mitkof had just returned frop1 a successful trip to Skagway and was going to the Union Oil Dock for gasoline.

AIR AND WATER CRAFT SEARCH
 ALONG COAST
Extensive Hunt Continues for Bodies of Airship
 Disaster
ONE FOUND THIRTY
 MILES OUT ON OCEAN
Hope Practically Aband- oned- investigation
 to Be Started

N B W YORK, April 5.- Search for Fl lost officers and men aboard the United States Navy dirigible Akron, which crashed early yester- day morning off Barnegat Lightship, off the coast of New Jersey, went forward swiftly and thoroughly today but hope any of the missing survive is gone.
 Sullen seas, whipped by thunder storms when the ship crashed, have quieted, making the task of search ing ships less difficult.
 The Coast Guard boats, one of which recovered the body of Lieu tenant Commander Harold Mac- Lellan, have been ordered to ex- tend the search southward but patrol closer to the shore.
 Top of Head Seen
 The body of Mcclellan is the only one found as the search was renewed. The body was 30 miles off shore, considerable distance from the spot where the Akron crashed. Only the top of the head was seen as the Coast Guard boat passed nearby, arms outstretched and rigid as though they had chung to a timber.
 Considerable debris and bits of fabric were noted on the waters where the body was found
 Survivors Recovering
 The three survivors are making fast recovery from the shock of submersion, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard
 The general belief of navy men is that the Akron was caught in the vortex of a terrific thunder storm and swept into the sea by down drafts
 Search Continues
 Seven Navy amphibians roared aloft from Philadelphia early this morning to continue the search for boies. They were to be joined by land and press planes to search from Barnegat, N. J., to Cape Charles, Virginia. The planes were also to go far out to sea but hope for success is at a low ebb How ever, small plane of the New York Police Department saved five men aboard the Blimp J-3 which went down yesterday when search ing for Akron survivors.

I. Goldstein Defeats Mayor Judson by 8l Votes
 Bus Franchise Beaten

In the closest local municipal race in many years, I. Goldstein. promi- nent local business man, was yes terday elected for Mayor for the ensuing year, defeating Mayor Thomas B. Judson, seeking re-elec- ton for the seventh successive term, by margin of 81 votes. MT. Gold stein's entire ticket, composed of A. F. McKinnon, w. J. Beck and G. B. Rice, was elected along with him by varying majorities.
 The proposed franchise to w. H. Bacon to operate bus lines over certain city streets received a pop ular majority that, however, was not sufficient to carry it. It re- quired 55 per cent of the vote cast and received .544 percent Seven more votes in the affirmative would have changed the verdict.
 Elected in Second
 The second precinct, giving MT. Goldstein a majority of 96 votes, won for him. Mayor Judson nosed out in the other two. In the third precinct, in which the Mayor re- sides, the vote was 131 for Judson and 130 for Goldstein.
 It was the first to complete it's count, and when the results were made known, it was admitted that the chances for Mayor Judson's reelection were not good.
 In the first precinct, the largest in the city, from the very first ballot counted the outcome was in doubt. At times the Mayor led and then this was wiped out as the count progressed and MT. Goldstein moved ahead. The final count there gave the precinct to Mayor Judson by IA votes.
 Second Is Different
 In the early stages of the sec- ond precinct count, the same neck and neck race developed. In the first 49 votes tabulated by the cleo ton officials, 25 were counted for Judson and "A for MT. Goldstein From that point on, the latter made consistent gains.
 The final count in the precinct gave it to MT. Goldstein by 96 votes, which put him out ahead with net lead of 81 votes.
 MT. Beck was high man on the Economy Ticket, receiving 813 votes. MT McKinnon. with I'll, was sec- ond high, and MT. Rice in last place with 653. The high man on the Progressive, or Judson ticket, was G. E. Krause, who received 570 votes, John E. Green, second, with 563 and J. B. Bernhofer with 494 votes.
 For School Director, R. E. Rob- ertson, unopposed, was given a fine endorsement receiving 782 votes.
 The vote on the school bus fran chise was: For, GOA, Against 506 votes. A switch of seven votes would have reversed the result. The ordinance failed of passage since it received less than the required percentage of the total vote cast in the election on that issue.

the war has been made far worse by the
policy of exacting war debts and repara-
tions. Those payments have not only
impoverished the debtors, but have upset
the international exchange and thrown
trade into chaos.
For four years of war the nations
sowed the wind and we are now reaping
the whirlwind The wonder is that this
orgy of waste had not brought the world
to complete bankruptcy before now.
Let us have a glance round the world
and see what the actual position is to-
day. The population of the world live
by trade and by services. The income
of the individual is derived by producing
goods and selling them, or by perform
ing one of the innumerable services
which are necessary in a civilized society.
RUT the source of every income is ma
terial wealth. The income of the
professional man, the doctor, the lawyer,
the personal servant, is, in fact, a part
of the wealth produced by the agricul-
tural and industrial workers. If there

let those we owe it to do the groaning."
COR the last 20 years the politicians,
financiers and industrialists have
been busily at work doing their hardest
to ruin the world. They have not yet
finished the job. They are about three
quarters through it, and they show no
signs of lessening their efforts until
trade has been destroyed and every
body is on the dole.
In 1913 the world was jogging along
quite comfortably, world trade was good
and progressive The standard of living
was slowly rising. Peace reigned
throughout the earth. The newer lands
welcomed freely the enterpriSing emf
grants from the older countries. Then
the stupidity of rulers and politicians

threw the world into the greatest war
in history. For more than four years
half the population of the civilized"
world was taken from industrial work
and employed in the destruction of life
and property, and in the manufacture
of munitions.
At the end of the war the equilibrium
of world trade had been destroyed. The
nations were burdened with colossal
debts, and intolerable taxation. Great
Britains national debt had risen from
$500 900 900 to 100000 100000, and our
annual taxation from f2OO,000,0C0 to f1,-

had to work year in and year out to
earn the money to pay the interest on
the war debt. $50

S the world bankrupt? Well, not
quite, but very nearly so. A nation,
like an individual, is in a state of
bankruptcy when it cannot meet its
financial obligations. There is no
international bankruptcy court where
an insolvent nation can file its petition,
and make composition with its credit
ors. If a debtor nation cannot pay, or
if it won't pay, it just doesn't pay, and
there is the end of the matter The
creditor nation could send few cruisers
or bombing airplanes, but that wouldn't
get the money. They would be blowing
up their own Investments

foreign commercial debts is now so COM

fashionable description, "claiming

STRIKERS SNUB
FORD PEACE

DETROIT, Jan. % GN.s0
Strikers whose walkout has
halted production by the Ford
Motor Company appeared today
to have spurned a wage-adjust'
ment peace offer.
The strike, by tying up opera
tionS at the Briggs Manufactur-
ing Company, has cut off the
supply of Ford bodies and forced
nationwide shutdown of Ford
plants.
After Henry Ford had taken
part in efforts to end the strike,
the Briggs Company, yielding IN
part, offered to raise it's basic
wage scale and eliminate the
hated "piecework" system.
The strikers were invited to
return to work this morning. At
10 a. m. about 40 of the 5000
or more employed in the two
Briggs plants had timidly shoul-
dered their path through glover
ing pickets and returned to their
jobs. The scheduled reopening of
the plant was postponed.
Hundreds Of pickets, undaunted
by zero weather, paced by the
gates of the Briggs plants.
