Government make available to the

Some of the committeeman told
Senator George they had their
doubts about the form in which the
House had written the limited au-
thorlty amendment, adopted at the
instance of Representative Dlrksen,

committee indicated it wished the
amendment preserved but put into
ironclad form.
The amendment states that the
Senate and the House can revoke
the Presidents British-aid powers
by the device of a concurrent reso-
luton. which requires only a ma
jority vote

President might otherwise have of

 A large turnout is expected in this area during the weekend where a group of the better skiers will also be on hand to furnish advice to beginners making the trip.
 Skiers making their first trip of the year are urged to spend most of their practice in short runs. con- centrating on two or three good turns rather than to make useless scluss runs. This will prove a lot less tiresome and develop the de- sired control that each skier should strive for, says Dean Williams, President and expert of the Junead Ski Club.

O. Adams, agent of the AL aska Steamship Company, was in formed by telegram today from the First City.
 Under proclamation issued by President Roosevelt December l, departure of aliens is restricted to ports designated as ports of en- try" and departure of aliens from such ports is prohibited except with permission of the departure con- trol officers.
 In circular issued by the steamship company, it is suggested that citizens travelling to or from the States carry some sort of proof of their citizenship such as birth certificates, voters registration card or other Identification sufficient to prove their citizenship.
 Although final permission to de- part will rest with the officer at the gangplank in Ketchikan, the circular suggests that it would be well for aliens to contact the near est office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service for informal advice before leaving"
 In the case of Juneau residents, the nearest office is Ketchikan. AL though the United States Customs office here represents the Immigra- tion Service in Juneau, officials there today suggested that aliens planning trips should write to the Ketchikan headquarters for ad- vice.
 All persons purchasing steamship tickets now must provide the com pany agent with the following in formation. which will be handed 70 the departure control officer when the ship reaches Ketchikan:
 Full name. age, sex, nationality. permanent address and ultimate destination.
 Aliens must be prepared to prove their right to travel
 The proclamation includes all vessels and airplanes proceeding from the States to Alaska, includ- ing fishing vessels and yachts. The Immigration Service must be noti- fled before the departure of such vessels in time for an inspection to be made by a control officer.
