Full Pay Vacations City Employees
 Discussed By Council

he was south a month in last Sep tember and October,
 MT. Wellons told the council that in requesting a sixweeks vacation he honestly thought he was asking only what was due him and his sincerity in the matter was not questioned by any one.
 The controversy centered only about the legality of allowing ac- cumulated vacations and at the same time to be fair to MT. Wellons.
 Questioned as to the validity of allowing such a claim the clerk stated that no provision had been made by ordinance, nor was it auth orized in the resolution at the be- ginning of the term fixing the sal aries of city employees.
 That in ordinary legal controver- sies where the question Is not pro vided for in the law, the courts will take cognizance of the customs Of the country; That he had been re- quested to determine what the GUS tom i' in other cities in South East ern Alaska and found that Juneau allows regularly appointed employ ees 10 days and Petersburg and Ketchikan two weeks but that none of them allow an accumulation of salary;
 That he believed the public would have little cause for complaint ii the council passed a resolution al lowing two weeks vacation with pay and allowing it to accumulate tC four weeks, but that such accumui- ated obligation would be subject to moral obligation only and not binding.
 After the motion was passed al lowing MT. Wellons accumulated va cation pay MT. Chisholm said:
 ''I want it clearly understood that there was nothing personal in my , stating that notwithstanding thu council had voted to pay the un authorized salary, it amounted to { double payment, and that their ac l llOu ulu HOI TGlleVe lu6 T6SpOUSlDll ity of the City Treasurer, and I therefore, want it matter of public record that I will sign the voucher but under protest"
 In support of the above, he quoted 1 from the settled law in such case that Municipal officers who pa! or authorize the payment of fund illegally are personally liable. Tn action of the City Treasurer in pay ing out city money in a manner no authorized by law cannot be rati fled by the city council"
 The discussion terminated on tn full resolve of the three holdove councilmen that when the new coun cil organizes next month, the mat ter of vacations will be settled whel city appointments are made. I Salaries of Wrangell's appointive of fices at the present scale tota : S95750 a month. If two weeks va l, cation on full pay should be grant ed employees it would only increas ], the salary budget approximatel Il SAFE year.

sition of cutting the town committee representation in spite of the legal increase in the voting districts from 20 to 32.
 No Recognition
 Publicized as the plan of the party" to insure clean elections", the change in the voting district set-up was universally supported by members of the racial groups. These had assurance that with this in- crease would come the recognition" which has been sought for years.
 Instead, the reverse has been the case, is the complaint from all sides.
 First, it was the organization trying to shunt aside Patrick M. Perriello, when the presidency of the board of aldermen was to be decided" an Italian member of the Republican town committee re- marked. Nov they are going to cut our representation in at least three of the districts they plan under the new system. We are ready to fight this plan even if 1t means going into a primary"
 While Chairman Upson was not available for statement regarding his reported plan to seek the pro- bate judgeship, the situation relat- ing to this office remained in status quo today.
 No Comment
 Judge Dennis J. Slavin, Democra- tic incumbent but endorsed on some occasions by the Republicans, reit- erated that he had no statement to make regarding his candidacy for reelection. He remarked that he had made no statement whatsoever in spite of reports that he did not confirm or deny" his candidacy.
 Rumor has been prevalent re- garding Chairman Upson's plans for some time but the town chairman has been on-committal, refusing to acknowledge that he had design to run for any office. He was candidate two years ago for representative and was defeated by Congressman J. Jo- seph Smith by large majority, about 14.000 plurality in Waterbury
 The meeting of the town commit tee which will see Chairman Up- sons fight to retain control is ten- tatively set for August 10, although h may be slightly earlier. Mean while, there will be attempt of the groups whose representatives on the committee would be discarded in the revision to make assurance doubly sure and to increase their claimed margin of power in the committee.

ELECTRIC FIRM
 HEAD ARRESTED

New York, July 15-(UP)-Dis- trict Attorney Thomas E. Dewey, at war on racketeering practices in the electrical contracting industry, planned an early trial today for John Griswold Livingston, 65, club man, retired army captain and head of one of the largest electrical firms in the country.
 Livingston and Frank w. Cooper, 60, secretary of and joint stock holder in J. Livingston & Co.,, were charged with having failed to make material entries on the company's books. Arraigned, they pleaded not guilty and were released in $1 ,000 bail each.
 The charge was a technical one invoked under seldom-used sec~ tion of the penal code. It carries a maximum penalty of three years imprisonment.
 The firm has branches in Chica- go, Boston and Detroit.

c. o. F. Chairman

man Upson controls only nine votes on the present committee, and that they expect to have eleven votes, enough for custer proceedings, at the next meeting, early in August.
 Sentiment was against Chairman Upson's plan for centralizing au- thority of the town committee with the four town committee officers, particularly in the light of the chairman's proposal to seek the pro- bate judgeship. His resignation as town chairman, or as official of any political group, would be compul- sory in the event of his election to judgeship.
 Betrayal Alleged
 This would leave the town com- mittee in the control of those to whom his plan will. delegate dicta- torial power, the recalictrant mem- bers averred. Those facing custer were bitter over this reported "be- trayap of the units which have supported the town chairman in the past.
 Most important aspect Of today's development is the prospect that the local Republican party will be involved in a primary fight. Should the members now seeking to throw out the town chairman succeed in lining up the eleven votes they claim, then 1t is likely that the town chairman would seek the primary method of recapturing the power now in process of dissipation. Several members of the town committee, particularly those repre- sentatives of racial groups which have fought with only partial suc- cess for recognition, were active today in preparation for the battle they will make at the meeting.

Alabama Tulane
Play For Keeps
BY HENRY McAEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. Nov. s.
CUP)-Alabama and Tulane play a
football game here today in which
here is nothing much at stake eX-
cept the physical well being OF
however many men happen to get
IN the lineups.
A goodly portion of the flower OF
southern manhood is certain TO get
the living daylights pounded out OF
il on Birmingham's Legion field
when these TWO teams meet. In a
football way. nothing much hangs
On the outcome. Each team has
been beaten, 50 national honors are
cut Of the question. and it is un-
likely that either will win even the
southeastern conference title.
But in one way todays game will
be the mcst interesting played in
the United States, because it will
provide a laboratory for the testing
of the undergraduate football
frame When the final whistle
blows today we will know exactly
the amount Of punishment, stress,
strain, and banging football play
er can absorb.
Alabama hates Tulane. Tulane
hates Alabama This is surpris-
ing, because the game today is only
the third Of the Wodern series be-
tween the two schools. Their
great hatred, however, started be-
fore they were on one another's
schedules That goes back few
years when Tulane always claimed
the championship Of the south be-
cause it cleaned up the foes in its
territory, and Alabama refuted the
claim by pointing to it's victories
in its section of the conference.
