still on his books. Oakley f. Distin
director of elections, stated Satur-

Attorneys Statement

In a statement prepared for the
Town Meeting" series at the City
Hall, Henry A. Montgomery, at
torney for the gas company
suggests that the city may bC
about to upset one of their apple
carts.
"Mr. Lee proposes to go 10 the
Federal Power Commission for
help in an adjustment of the
pipeline rates." Montgomery
says.
THAT is all right and we
would go along with him II II
were not for one grave posi-
bility.
IL wonder IL MIR. Lee h
given consideration to the dan
ger of readjustment of the
pipeline rates UPWARD instead
of DOWN or at least such a re-
adjustment as might to the dis
advantage of Detroit?

able in comparison to the rates

Perhaps the Federal Power
Commission after an investiga-
ton would lower ratesaall along
the line so drastically that De-
troit would wind up in "A better
position than IL il today.
ION the other hand il might
so happen that the commission
would make an adjustment that
would make Detroit the highest
paying customer at rates even
less advantageous than we now
have.
"It is something that should
be considered carefully by the
city before going into the matter

The present city gas rate is
approximately 81 cents per loo

is a comparatively favorable price

Can bill which has been defeat ed be considered again if it is in- troduced in slightly different form? Tn eSenate says it can and so voted yesterday. The vote came on sustain ing point of order by Senator Le- roy Sullivan, who objected that a bill to broaden application of the unemployment compensation law could not be considered because a similar measure had been voted down four to four The vote on sustain ing Sullivan's point of order was four to four, and so the Senate con- sidered the bill. This may have an important bearing upon the Sen ate reception of the income tax bill. which was defeated in that body but which was introduced in the House in slightly altered form a few days later. If it passes the House in slightly altered form a few days later. If it passes the House the Sen- ate can hardly refuse to consider it, in view of the decision on the un- employment compensation bill.

 Cast away in a living tomb is the way Senator O D. Cochran re- ferred yesterday to sending a wo- man to the proposed Alaska Women's Home. Rep. Crystal Snow Jenne, author of the bill for such a home, did not appreciate the remark.
 Cochran suggested that mak-
 ing the present Pioneers Home
 coeducational institution might
 take care of destitute Alaska
 women. Mrs. Jenne said the
 men would never stand for that.
 What the House thinks of the judgment of the Senate is just about what the Senate thinks about the brains of he House. When Senaor Leroy Sullivan remarked in an ap- pearance before the House that the Senate had passed unanimously on his bill to require persons to live in Alaska three years before they could vote, Rep William Egan ob- served that bills which had been passed 16 to in the House had gone down to defeat in the Senate. Then the House voted on Sullivan's bill killing it II to five.

The Nome Sen ator finally was successful in having the bill discharged from Walkers Education Committee and brought cut on the floor, causing the Ketchl- kan Senator to do some hunting fol this particular piece of legislation which Walker said was way down deep in my desk" The vote on bring l ing the bill out of Committee was six to two.
