Road Memorials Win Approval
 of Lower House
Knik Arm Connection En- dorsed After Debate
 Anchorage Spur, Too

Roads and the need of roads came f. tcr considerable discussion at this mornings $ session of the Ter ritorial House before it adjourned until Il o'clock Monday morning. Controversy arose over two memor- ials to the Territorial Road Board asking for road construction, one a stretch of about two and half miles at Knik Arm to deep water and the other about three miles leading southerly from the Anchorage-Lake Spenard road. Each is estimated to cost about $5,000 and both are pro- posed to open up agricultural dis tricts. Both were finally passed
 Major argument arose over the Knik Arm connection. Author of the measure, Representative Dan Kennedy and Ed Coffey of the Third Division, explained that the pur- pose of the request was to provide road accommodations to settlers in the community. Point was raised by Dan Green of the Fourth whether the connection to deep water would mean competition with the Alaska Railroad and this was dwelt on further by George Laiblin and sev- eral others. MT. Coffey reiterated it in no way would affect the rail- road and was solely for the benefit of the settlers. He declared that only a small boat such as Heinie Ber- gers uses" would be able to get into ger uses" would be able to get into the Arm where the road would con- meet and that if such small boat did use it, the vesel could only hope for about seven trips year and not more than a thousand tons of freight.
 No Road For Heinie
 T can't see why the Territory should build road for Heinie Ber- ger," declared James V. Davis. T know Heinie very well and he has $5 ,000 to build a road of his own if he wants it."
 Mir. Coffey was again on his feet he did not mean that MT. Berger was going to use the deep water connection but that he used his boat merely as an example. This road" he insisted, lis for the settlers
 MT. Laiblin of the Second stated that he was not opposed to any road that would develop the Territory but he saw no advantage in route that would parallel the Alaska Railroad and it might eventually cause the railroad to suspend due to lack of business.
 'Time Marches On"
 Andrew Nerland of the Fourth, who explained that he lived at the end of the Alaska Railroad and was one of those who suffered it's penalties and exorbitant freight rates" said he believed the last year was the first one in which the road had ever showed profit and he was not very fearful of putting it out of business.
 "Of course, we want the railroad, he said. We have to have it. But do not believe we should hold back development to protect the Alaska Railroad. If the railroad has to go in the march of development. then, I say, let 1t go."
 Still For Roads
 Several others had something to say, but the vote revealed concen- sus was for developing roads. The memorial was approved by a vote of 13 to 3.
 The Anchorage-Lake Spenard road request was passed without a

Recommendation Made to All Workers Involv-

ABOUT 10000 ARE
 TO TAKE BALLOT NOW
Will Take Three or Four Days Before Decision Is
 Officially Stated

BULLETIN-San Francis co, Cal, Jan. 30.-The Joint Strike Policy Committee, at a noon-day meeting, passed a resolution recommending that all unions conduct a member ship referendum immediately on the question of ending the Pacific Coast Maritime Strike.
 H. P. Melnikow, union ad- wiser, emerged from t h e Joint Strike Policy Committee meeting and made the an- nouncement as follows:
 'sFhs committee has just passed a resolution recom- mending that if every union conduct a referendum imme- diately they would return to work under agreements and understandings reached by their negotiating committees with the employers"
 It is estimated that it will take between three or four days to conduct the voting among the 10000 workers who have been out since Oc- tober 30.
 Plan For Signing
 All unions would sign the agreement on the same day and this probably would result in a day being set aside next week for their return to work in case five organizations vote favorably, said Melnikow.
 The union adviser said the ballots will be printed with ives" or mo" on the question of returning to work and ac- ceptances of agreements.
 Groups Involved
 The groups involved are:
 The ILA with 18,O00 mem. bers; Sailors Union of the Pa cific; Marine Engineers Bene- ficial Association; Master, Mates and Pilots of America; American Radio Telegraphists Association.
 In case the Cooks and Stew ards Union take a ballot, this ballot would state whether they are to accept agreements given to them by the employ CTS on an understanding that wages and hours would be ar bitrated.
 Melnikow said the Fire mems Union had not decided what form their ballot would take.

 A nasty inspection by engineers indicated the earthern walls have not been preached, however.

WISCONSIN JURIST
Attorney General Accuses Federal
Judge of Unfairness and I'm
just Conduct r.,~'..

washington, Dec. 20 (AP)-The
House Judiciary Committee received
from the Justice Department today
complaint accusing Federal Judge
Ferdinand Geiger, of Wisconsin, OF
repeated instances of arbitrary, un-
Just and unfair conduct"
Attorney General Cummings called
particular attention to Geiger's dis
missal of a Milwaukee grand jury
which had voted, but not formally re-
turned, indictments of three motor car
manufacturers under antitrust laws.
He added:
"The net results of Judge Geiger's
unwarranted interference with this de-
partment and the grand jury have
been:
First, to free the companies from
any present necessity for correcting
the Objectionable practices; second, to
save them from indictment for past
violations of the antitrust laws; and
third, to discredit the effort of the
government to correct abuses in the
industry,
The government had presented to
the grand jury evidence which it's at
torneys said showed the Ford, Chrys-
Ter and General Motors companies
were compelling dealers to do their
sales financing through companies at
filiated with the manufacturers.

Madrid, Dec. 2O.-(AP)-An entire
ly surrounded and greatly outnum-
bered Spanish insurgent garrison held
the city of Teruel today in the face of
the heaviest government attacks on
the central front since the drive on
Brunette last July.
Last insurgent defenses outside the
city. which had been the tip of q
spearhead thrusting at government
communication lines between Madrid
and Valencia were destroyed in three
days of attacks.
Teruel was cut off from the rest of
insurgent Spain. Government forces
thwarted repeated insurgent attempts
to break through and relieve the gar
rison. Dispatches to Hendaye, on the
Franco-Spanish frontier, said the
city's inhabitants took refuge in miles
of tunnels under the streets. Battles
ragged in the streets, planes fought
overhead and government shells
smashed at its walls.
Government troops stormed Teruel
itself shortly after nightfall Sunday
Several hours later they penetrated
its outskirts and occupied several
buildings in the city which had been
held by the insurgents since the civil
war began.
