Appropriation of S213,- 900 Sought for Esfab-
 Iishment of Line ALASkA STAR SYSTEM
 ALSO GIVEN APPROVAL
Superintendent Gives Most FdvorabIY Testimony
 at Hearing

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. = The House Appropriations Committee has recommended an appropriation of $213, GOO for regular weekly air mail service between Seattle and Juneau during the fiscal year of 1940.
 The committee said in report accompanying the Treasury-Pos Office appropriation bill, that ex- perimental flights during the past year have proved the feasibility of a permanent route.
 The Committee also suggested that the House appropriate $l25,000 to continue star mail routes in AL aska.
 To Aid Development
 Published records of the hearings on the bill disclosed that the Post Office Department does not expect to break even on the new air mail but feels it will stimulate the de- velopment of the Territory and speed up communication and trans portation between Alaska and con- tinental United States.
 Cheaper Than Roads
 Charles Graddic, Superintendent of the Air Mail Service, told the Committee it cost less to give Alaska mail service than to build roads. He also said ->e Seattle Juneau route will be well patronized "by virtue of the fact that there is not such a good boat service"
 Star Routes
 In discussing the recommendation for the appropriation for the Alaska star routes, the committee report says there appeared some well founded doubt as to the feasibility of extending the jurisdiction of the Civil Aeronautics Authority to the operation of all mail services as AL aska conditions are entirely different from those existing in Continental United States in that all classes of mail are transported by plane in Alaska at regular rates of postage and doubtless it will be some time before the entire subject can be adjusted and new rates fixed. It is possible some additional legislation may be required to deal adequately with the problem presented"

Delegate Seeking Elimin- aiion Wage, Hour Act
 of Placer Workers
TWO pR0p0SALS
 BEING SUGGESTED
Forty-fo our Hour Week Would Work Hardship
 in Many Sections

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond said today the Wage and Hour Admin istration is to devise some means to exempt placer miners from the hour provisions of the Wage and Hour Act.
 Delegate Dimond said that if the A hour week was invoked on all workers would be unable to make a decent living because the hours of employment are shortened.
 Season Limited
 Delegate Dinond has offered two proposals solving the problem, an amendment to the Act to exempt all placer mining carried on in remote places where there is an inadequate supply of Workmen, or an amend ment giving the Wage and Hour Administration discretionary auth ority to make exemptions when such exemptions are agreed to by both mine operator and miner.
 Delegate Dimond said in most parts of Alaska, placer miners are opposed to a short week both from economic and social viewpoints.

Typographical Error, Says
 Tax Collector

It's not the net gold tax but the gross gold tax that most people seem to object to, Joe Green, Tax Collector in the Treasurer's office, said today in clearing up a little misunderstanding which had arisen as an outcome of his recent prep aration of report on taxation.
 Through a typographical error, the report stated that 30 percent of the persons Green contacted in connection. with tax collection were opposed to a net tax on gold, whereas the intention of MT. Green was to say that 80 percent object ed to gross tax on gold.

Telegrams Of protest against Sem ator Henry Rodens Senate bill No. 67, which would require that at least half of the persons employed in each fish cannery in Alaska would have to be resident citizens, were received today from four Seattle unions.

 Indignantly, Alaska Fishermen's Union wired that "our understand ing is that Alaska is still part of the United States"

The biennial report of B. D. Stew art, Territorial Commissioner of Mines, was received by the Legisla- ture today from the Office of the Governor, painting an encouraging picture of Masks mineral develop ment, but expressing disturbance at the lack of prospecting for new pro- perty.
 Taking few highlights out Of the report, it is said that within the last two years the number of mechanical mining plants and the number of men employed in operating them. and the value of the mineral wealth produced, has increased by at least 20 percent.
 Platinum Production
 The report also says the decline of 40 per cent in copper production value occasioned by the shut-clown of the Kennecott mines. is nearly compensated for by the spectacular increase in value of platinum metals produced
 Coal tonnage increased II per cent during the biennium over any previous production year. There has been gratifying in- crease in the number of lode proper ties on which mining equipment has been installed and on which new
