 House Bill, No. 34, by Walker would be an act providing for dis semination of news, executive pro- clamation and inquiries, informa- tion concerning the Territory and other general information by radio broadcasting.
 The bill names some radio sta ton in Ketchikan," with requisite size declared, and the Territory to use thirty minutes of radio time daily at a monthly rate of $405 for two years. Other radio stations will be brought under the bill, it is said.
 The sum of $10,000 or so much thereof as is needed, is asked in appropriation to carry out this measure.
 Four bills were introduced this morning in the House by Repre- sentative Gordon, dealing with le- gal changes in the Compiled Laws of Alaska.

M0THER-|N-LAW
 MOST RESPECTED

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-A man may talk to his mother-in-law only through the walls of her hut in Portuguese West Africa.
 This is one of the facts gathered by an expedition of the Field Mu- scum, Chicago, which was study ing Ovimbundu tribal customs.
 The mother-in-law is very inn portant to the Ovimbundu husband Preliminary to proposing marriage to her daughter he has to give the prospective mother -in-law some to- bacco and pig, blanket or bottle of wine.
 After marriage he must never enter her hut. If the two meet in the open they must turn theii heads in opposite directions and pass without speaking. This signi- fies profound respect for the moth- er-in-law

divided by 7683, will give you the per capita amount of $5.26.
 T think this is fair comparison, and the difference of 65 cents per capita could well be explained in the fact that there are numerous tran sient cases in the First Division that you will not find in the Fourth. In other words, those who have heard things are good in Alaska geenrally have enough money to get as far as Ketchikan or Juneau and then become burden on the Terri tory until they get enough money to go back to the States or find work in Alaska.
 Tn this question of relief it should not be overlooked that the Territory of Alaska spent in the neighborhood of $l85,000 for wolf bounties in the past biennium. I think it is fair statement that at least 50 per cent of this money went to the Fourth Division and I also think it could well be considered that his was a form of work-relief for the resi- dents of the Fourth Division. Un- doubtedly large number of the peo- pie who would have otherwise been destitute were kept off the relief rolls because of their being able to become self-employed by killing wolves
 T, personally, feel that one should not judge whether or not the De- partment of Public Welfare is being properly administered by comparing the amount of money one Division gets over another The test to my mind should be: Have all of the per- sons who are destitute been cared for? Have any of the Senators re- ceived complaints from their consti- tuents that they have applied for relief and arbitrarily been denied? Has the Department of Public Well fare been granting money to per sons not destitute, if so, was this fraudulently done? Are the num- Der of "chisler cases sufficient to justify the cost of personal inves- tigation of all applicants for re- lief?"

SENATOR'S RAP PROPAGANDA
 FROM OFFICER
Communication from Vel. fare Administrator
 Causes Furry

Senators fumed up in righteous wrath this afternoon as they con- demned an alleged attempt of a
 Territorial official to refute re-
 marks one of the Senate members
 by placing letters on the desks of the members.
 The communication in question was one from William B. Kirk, Di-
 rector of the Department of Pub
 lie Welfare, comparing relief costs in the First and Fourth Divisions.
 The statement was in reference to remarks of Senator Victor Rivers
 of the Fourth Division yesterday. Kirk's communication, condemned by Senators as propaganda mat i ter" and an "underhanded method Iof diSrupting the word of one of the Senators" was as follows:
 From the remarks that were made by the Senior Senator from the Fourth Division few days ago, I
 am under the impression that he feels the people in the First Jud- i icial Division of the Territory of
 Alaska have received more than their share of the relief funds ex- pended by my department in the
 last biennium. have, therefore, figured the amount of money dis i tributed from the relief funds to
 destitute persons in Alaska on a
 per capital basis.
 q have tried to arrive at fair figure. From the 1880 census I learned that the white population for the First Division was l2,877. It is estimated by informed persons that there has been an increase of 40 per cent in white population in the past 10 years. If this is correct then there are now residing 18,027 white people in the First Division
 In 1930 there were 5,488 white people in the Fourth Division. Assuming that the population in the Fourth Division has increased 40 per cent, 7,683 white persons now reside in that division.
 The figures which I have prev iously submitted to you indicate that there were expended in the First Division by my department for the past biennium (this figure does not include amount expended for obliga- tions incurred in previous bienniumD
 in the First Division $106,654.45 which figure divided by l8,027 re- suits in the per capita cost of S5.9l for that division. The same mathe- nautical calculation applied to the Fouth Division namely = $40,475.82

with Senators O. D. Cochran and LeRoy Sullivan joining Rivers in opposition.
 Other Business
 After suffling the bill ahead to their next meeting, Senators plac- ed Senate bill No. 21, to establish date of birth by filing of petition, in second reading.
 One measure received do pass recommendation from the Finance Committee today. It was House joint esolulion No. 1, allowing the Gov er6nor to hire janitor and char woman to keep the Legislative chambers clean.
 Two measures returned by the Finance Committee without recom- mendation were Senate bill No 18 appropriating $25,000 for a tax boat for use in Bristol Bay, and House oill No. II, appropriating $l,450 for he office of the Commissioner of Labor.
 Received from the Governor was ! message suggesting enactment of a .raffic code for the Territory.
 Yesterday Afternoon
 Following yesterdays disagree ment on the liquor bill and on the department of criminal investiga- ion measure, the Senate took up Senate bill No 20, dealing with 'harge for assays and amended the bill to provide the charge for mak- ing an assay will be 25 cents instead of 50 cents as called for in the bill Tn it's amended form the bill passed second reading.

AMENDMENT VOTED INTO
 LIQUOR BILL
Would Allow Present Ii. eensees 10 Continue
 Until Expiration

One amendment finally wormed and twisted its difficult way into Senator Norman R. Walkers much debated liquor bill late this after noon before the Senate voted to continue the bill in second reading, so they could get ahead with work on the calendar.
 The amendment by Senator Walk CT himself, will allow the Territorial Treasurer, with respect to existing beer and wine licenses, to let the un- expired portion of such licenses ap- ply as credit toward the new $500 license required under the new bill or to make a refund of the unused portion if the dispenser does nos desire to continue in business under the new plan.
 Present Licenses Upheld
 It is further allowed, in an amend ment to the amendment, that dis pensers may, if they choose, continue to sell beer and wine until their pre- sent licenses expire. This provision was made at the insistance of Sem ator c. H. LaBoyeaux who said the Territory in granting existing lic- enses had entered into a contract with the dispensers and that it would not be fair to- drive them out of business now.
 Senator Walker, who had opposed such a provision steadfastly, fin ally gave in when it became clear his amendment would not pass without it. The amendment to the amend ment, and then the amendment it. elf, were adopted without record vote.
 Up Again Monday
 The Senate had wrestled with the liquor bill for approximately AS min utes when the motion to continue was passed, as it had been yesterday The bill will come up again when the Senate meets Monday
 Declaring the bill absolutely un- workable in its present form" Sen- ator Victor c. Rivers, it's most-vocal opponent, said he was going to be- gin to vote for some of the proposed amendments lon the chance that one of them may be some good"
 The lineup on the bill again was five-to-three on most record votes,

.HAIDA SCHOLARS TO TAKE SHORT
 STUDY JOURNEY
Educational Trip for Those Who Complete Navi-
 gaiion Course

Students who complete the navi- gation course conducted by officers of the U.S.C.G. Haida will be given an opportunity to top off their class room information with short in- structional cruise aboard the cutter Haida according to announcement by Lieut.. N G. Fulford in charge of the scholastic program.
 The purpose of the trip will be to give those who have shown real interest in the work a direct con- tact with the practical operation of theories taught in the classes.
 Additional benefit for those com pleting the course will be the pres entation of a certificate showing to all and sundry that the owner has participated and finished the instructional program as offered by the Coast Guard officers in Juneau. Althought this certificate will not portray any actual connection with Government boat licensing policy it will convey definite indication that the holder possesses certain qualifi- cations for ship operation.
 Class last night had the usual successful turnout and was divided into four sections. The course which is being conducted at the High School covered chart work and pro- gressed into discussions on bear ings and soundings."
 The group will meet again next Friday night.
 In addition to Lieut.. Fulford, the teaching staff consists of Lieut.. Foutter, Ensign A. F. Wayne, and Ensign Glenn Porter.

sired to see the amended measure dispensed with, and moved for third reading and final judgment, move that brought cries of rail roading" and "steamrolling" from both the First Division and the Fourth Division.
 "Railroading" Drager denied "railroading' in tentions, but expressed "weariness" with the measure and drew fire from Fourth Division Representa- tive Spencer who shouted his indig- nation while waving a photograph of a wolf atrocity.
 As a result, roll call vote found the Third deserting Drager, "tem- porary floor leader of the Third and the bill was placed on the call endar for final debate Monday, Drager graciously accepting in lev ity his discharge" from his "po- sition" at the head of the Third.
 As the storm clouds subsided temporarily over wolves and coy- otes, another bounty measure rolled the waters again when House Bill No. 2, by Representative Anderson, asking for removal of eagle bounty was opened for hearing. 
 Frank Dufresne, Executive Off, 1 ficer of the Alaska Game Com mission, took the stand again for the second time in two days, an- swering questions from the floor. Also taking the stand was Re- gional Forester B. F. Heintzleman, he too, answering questions from the floor.
 Eagle Issue A summation of information re- vealed in the questioning shows: number of eagles has declined greatly in years since 1917 when law passed; great horned owl and hawks are as vicious birds of prey as eagle, perhaps more; total eagles killed since 1917 reaches 10000, at cost of $102,000.
 Dufresne said he believed it pos sible, however, that with no boun- ty. eagles are likely to double in number within year.
 Heintzleman said he believes the number of eagles has been reduced to a point where the danger from them is not so great and that It might be better to add the eagle bounty monies to the wolf bounty fund, abolishing the eagle fund" With House Bill No. 2 at that stage of discussion, the House re- cessed until o'clock this after noon, when House Bill No. T, on the question of whether or not the Territory will become liquor wholesaler, will also be considered in hearing.
 Yesterday afternoon, three bills were introduced in reverting to in- troduction of bills.

DOG ANNOYANCE
Editor, The Citizen:
am spending a month or two
here, and l am taking the liber-
ty of making a criticism of the
one really annoying thing here,
at least to me and my friends.
Namely, the dog situation.
don't think I have to go into de-
tails as l take your paper (Which
| like very much) and read an
article few days ago about dogs
here barking and being a nuis-
ance.
I should only like to make an
additional point that a dog lover
will not bring his dog down here
more than once. A great many
of these dogs wandering around
the street, of course, have lice,
etc. To be specific, l know one
couple who were planning to
spend month here, at least
with dog included), and after 48
hours left for Clearwater only be-
cause of the dog question.
Having been in most of the diff
ferent towns and cities in Flor
ida for the last IL winters, and
thinking that Key West is by far
the most attractive place in Flor
ida, l hope to come back next
year with our dog.
I hope that you will publish
this verbatim or the gist of it in
an editorial

BEN BENO BIG
ATTRACTION AT
PLAYLAND PARK
CANNIBALS ALMOST GOT
HIM: DARE DEVIL OF
SWINGING TRAP E z E /:
STARTING TONIGHT

One of the most interesting
characters and far travelled peo-
pie in the show business is Ben
Beno, the daredevil of the
swinging trapeze, feature free
act at Playland Park starting to-
night. Beno has made three COM
plete circles of the globe, eX-
hibiting his skill and daring be-
fore thousands of show-goers,
both under the big tops of the
circuses and in theaters.
While on a boat in New Guinea
and Fiji Islands, the captain put
in at a remote cannibal island
and invited Mr.. Beno to give the
natives turn. 1t was not pos
sible in a short time-an hours
stay-to get out of the boat all
of his equipment, so the captain
lent some wire used for wireless
purposes. Mr.. Beno fixed this
up between two cocoanut trees.
The natives very primitive and
sparing in dress and manners,
were mustered from all parts of
the island and came in schools of
thousands, women carrying
babies on their backs.
1t was, even to such a travelled
man like Beno, a marvellous sight
and decidedly uncanny. He was
in red tights, and the natives,
owing to the fineness of the wire
upon which he was performing,
could not see it. They regarded
him, therefore, with awe and
wonder: to them he was a super
natural being. 1t lasted only ten
the boat leaving at 5
o'clock.
Big crowds came to see Mr..
Beno go aboard the boat, glad of
his departure, and he was given
gifts, which from a native point
of view, were their best offerings
about three thousand bananas
and fourteen skulls of men cap
tured from other tribes. It was
policy to accept these gifts. The
bananas were afterWard distri-
buted among the passengers and
crew of the boat, and the skulls
were reverently deposited in the
sea.
