HOUSE GRIND5 OUT BILLS IN
 BUSIEST DAY
Delegates Entertainment Fund HdIved-Commit-
 ice Idea Shelved

The proposed entertainment fund for the Alaska Delegate to Congress was cut from $4,000 to $2,000 by the House of Representative today in adopting a committee recommenda- tion, during second reading of House Bill No. IA, by Rep. Harvey J. Smith. The Smith bill would provide a Delegates entertainment fund for the first time.
 Another Committee recommenda- ton that work on proposed Wasilla School addition be done under the supervision of the Commissioner of Education and not under that of the Superintendent of Public Works was defeated, despite an opinion from Territorial Attorney General James s. Truitt that such provision was legal.
 The vote came on House Bill No. IT, by Smith and McCutcheon, ap- propriating $25,000 for an addition to Wasilla. The bill passed through second reading House Bill No. 19 by Rep Stuart Stangroom, appro- priatihg $l0,O00 for a school at Coun- cil, also went through second read ing.
 Two RecOmmitted
 Two bills were recommitted to the Ways and Means Committee fol amendments. They were House Bill No. 3, providing for bank examina- tions, and House Bill No. g, to tax coin operated amusement machines
 Three measures passed in the House this afternoon-one bill pro- viding for delayed birth certificates another providing a setup for graz ing districts and memorial asking trunk highway survey. Rep. Charles Herbert introduced the only House Bill today, one re- pealing Section 1894 and Sections 1696-1706 of the, 1883 compiled laws providing for Divisional Road Com missioners. The law is obsolete ano has not been in effect for many years, Herbert said.
 The House adjourned until o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

 FIVE TO SAIL
 FOR HAYNES
Crimson Bears Are 10 Meet Basketball Team in
 Scheduled Series

Hard playing and well condi- toned after good season in Ju- neau, the Juneau High Crimson Bears will sail for Haines on the steamer Yukon tomorrow for a scheduled three days session, and possibly longer, with the Glacier Bears on the maple floor of the Haines' High. School new gymna- sium.
 Anticipate Battles
 Speculation among sports fans arc that the J-High team will have several tough battles on their hands in view of the three consecutive bcatings that the Haines High School team handed the SkagWay five in a three out of five tour nament.
 Another reason for misgivings among the Crimson Bears rooters is the guarantee of $75 offered the local team as an inducement to dtttJj bIlt IildllfIlSt. OIiiiibil ln that the Glacier Bears arc on their toes this year or such guaran- tee would not have been posted.
 ChilkOot Next It is expected that the J-Higll squad will play hoop five from Chilkoot Barracks if they beat the Haines team in the first two games played. Team members are hoping that arrangements can be made for them to go to SkagWay on the Torrance to play a series with the SkagWay five.
 Players being taken by Coach Lin denmeyer on the marine basketball tour are Rice, Murphy, McDaniels, Miller, Lucas, Bavard, Martin, Mel son, and Pasquan.

MERRY-Go-ROUND

Joseph Kennedy, former U. S. Ambassador to Britain who is crit- ical of the "all-out" aid policy, has quietly changed his legal residence from Massachusetts to Florida. Mas sachusetts has state income tax but Florida has not. Aroused over what he charges is widespread discrimination against Negro work CTS in defense industries, Philip Randolph, President of the Sleeping Car Porters Brotherhood, is consid- ering holding a mass demonstration in Washington to demand that the OPM take action. Behind the scenes there has been a hot scrap over this issue in the OPM for some time. The Labor Division wants an official OPM statement calling on employ CTS to hire Negroes, while the Pro- duction Division maintains the ques- tion is strictly one between man. agement and workers. Although unheard of publicly, a key figure in the execution of the lense-lease program is Brig. General Russell J Maxwell, who as Administrator of Export Control bosses all outgo of vital supplies.

LEND-LEASE KINGPIN

Kingpin in directing the lend lease program is Harry Hopkins, gaunt intimate of the President.
 Living and working in the White House, Hopkins is Roosevelt's per- sonal spokesman on all lend-lease matters and holsd all the reins. No move is made without his knowledge and approval. In inner circles Hop kins is referred to as lend-lease "co- ordinator," but actually he is the boss-man for the President.
 Hopkins chief assistant is Major General James H. Burns, one of the Army's procurement aces. Burns acts as liaison with the Army on the allocation of supplies to be sent to the Allies; with the British Pur- chasing Commission; and with the Army Navy Standardization Com nittee on working out differences between U. s. and British equip ment.
 The test in passing on Allied re- quests for supplies is whether they will also be useful to our own de- fense. The Governments policy is to provide all equipment and mater ials possible, but not to disrupt our own defense program.

 Wherever Tagge got his information, which is nne- -tenths false and one-tenth distorted, he did not get it from Mrs. Bender He did telephone her with this story and asked to have it verified. He was told the facts not he presented them and his information was incorrect Yet he went back to Chicago and typed out a story about Mrs. Bender disclosing" this particular bit of Ickes hgh-hand- edness The story appeared in The Tribune along with picture of former Gov.

British. But he points out that Ire land is Britain's "breadbasket," hay ing provided one-third of its food, considerable clothing, and other ne- cessities since the war began.
 Ireland proposes to mobilize an army to battle off any Nazi attacks, if the necessary equipment can be obtained from Britain and the Unit ed States Britain has agreed to furnish some, and Aiken hopes to get the rest here. He says he has several hudred million dollars" to spend for anti-aircraft guns, tanks, rifles, ammunition; also for wheat and food.
 NOTE: Ireland has an army of 250,000 volunteers. but only 25,0O0 are properly equipped and garrison ed. Most of the men are local "se- curty guards" who train only one a week Aiken believes that if Ire land can get sufficient equipment to place the 250,OOO men on perma- nent military footing, they will be able to ward off Nazi attack with British help in the air.

 The announcement by the Office of Production Management that arpane production in the United States set monthly record during March with the delivery of 1216 planes indicates that the aircraft industry Is beginning to hit it's stride. The March total was greater by PA planes than the February output, when slight slump from January produc- tion had occurred.
 It is difficult to compare current American air. craft production with that of European nations in the absence of reliable estimates. But this much is known: At its present level American plane manu facture is in of the losses by either side in the most active months of the air war This is not strictly accurate comparison, in the light of the fact that perhaps a half of the planes now being turned out military training planes and European losses naturally are those of bomber, pursuit, and observation planes.
 However, American production of the present relatively high level has been achieved without standardization upon any type of plane This is being turned out are up-to minute in design and performance and do not follow possibly obso- lescent pattern Also the present productive capac ity has been achieved in advance of the completion of most of the new plants. In large part, the pro duction gain has been effected merely by plant pro duction technique. When the great new engine, parts and assembly plants under construction in cent months add their voices to the symphony of production-as will be occurring regularly from now on-there will swelling refrain, the dirge of the New Order
