shown at the exhibition.
 "In dealing with Indian art or the United States, we find that it's sources reach far beyond our borders, both to the north and the south. Hemispheric inter change of ideas is as old as man on this continent. Long before Columbus, tribes now settled in Arizona brought traditions to this country that were formed in Alaska and Canada; Indian traders from the foot of the Rocky Mountains exchanged goods and ideas with the great civilizations two thousand miles south of the Rio Grande. Re lated thoughts and forms that are truly of America are found from the Andes to the. Missis- sippi Valley. We must acknowl- edge cultural debt not only to the Indians of the United States, but to the Indians of both Americas"
 The purpose of the exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art according to the Bureau of In dian Affairs, is to widen inter est in Indian arts and crafts and to help develop the market ing of Indian products.
 The exhibition includes loans from museums in the United States and Canada as well as from private collections, anc traces the art of the Indians from prehistoric times to the present. It is divided into three parts: Prehistoric Art" 'Tht

TaiIings from Gold
 Dredges Used for
 Surface, Nome Field

Following the completion of sub arctic survey, M. c. Hoppin. Super intendent of CAA Airways announc- ed in Nome recently that work will soon begin on the Nome airfield as part of the $3,000,000 project for major airfields in Alaska.
 Three 3.5O0-foot runways surfaced with tailings from gold dredges are among the immediate plans for the Nome field
 Superintendent Hoppin described the construction of northern air fields as particularly difficult task owing to the tundra covered frozen ground. In Kotzebue long sand spit was tentatively selected while at Nome the problem was simplified by the availability of unlimited tailings from dredges operating close at hand.

Living Traditions" and Indian Art in Modern Living" While the show was intended to pro- vide a comprehensive picture of Indian arts themselves, rather than to show the forms of dress and design they may inspire, there is a collection of women's fashions showing Indian mate rials and products as they 1t into modern apparel. These ex. hibits have been the center Of interest for the fashion authori- ties of New York, and one may expect Spring and Summer fash ions to reflect the influence of the Indians in decoration and more particularly in the pins, buttons and dress decorations at present so popular with American girls and women.
 Fantastic masks, pipes made of stone in figures of men, ami mals and birds. painted pottery and Indian painsings-some of them of the highest artistic merit even according to present world standardS-dollS in many shapes and many varieties, war gods carved of wood and stone, blankets woven in varied and colorful patterns, beaded belts and hoods, moccasins, boots and clothing with porcupine-quill embroidery and painted and woven birch bark, war clubs and tomahawks, toys and eating implements all indicate the care and artistic merit of the Indian craftsmen and women.

TEETH FOR MINE
 TAX pR0pOSED IN
 LAD0YTEAUX BILL
Sullivan Against Entertain. ment Fund of S2,00O
 for Delegate

A bill to put teeth in the mining lax law was introduced in the Senate
 his morning by Senator c H. Ala 1anO LaBoyteaux of Fairbanks
 The bill provides that all mining license taxes are payable December 31 of the year for which they arc 1ue and that after January 3l a penalty of 10 percent would be add ad. The Territorial Treasurer would have the right to extend the pay ment date to March Is on a showing If reascn for doing so, with penalty o be Is percent after March Is. The axes and penalties would draw legal interest.
 The bill also provides that all tax es, penalties and interest would constitute a prior lien against min Ing property.
 In its brief session today, the Sen ate heard Senator Leroy Sullivan of Nome declare his intention to vote against the bill for a $2,000 enter tainment fund for the Delegate from Alaska, saying the measure would set up an undesirable precedent.
 The Federal Government takes care of the expenses of the office of Delegate at the present time, he said.
 The bill was finally continued in third reading at the request of Sen ator Norman R. Walker.
 The Senate adjourned until Il o'clock Monday

posed law wasn't "too big for us, Harsch replied that only those per- sons paying or subject to paying Federal income taxes would pay this tax and said that the Yukon Ter ritory, with population smaller and more widely dispersed than ours, has had an income tax law for number of years.
 The number of Federal income tax payers in Alaska this year he esti- mated at 5000.
 The Professor said, whe question: ticned by Karl Drager of Anchorage, that the bill would destroy the regu- latory effect of license laws which it would appeal, but that he had attemped to leave out of the repeal section any laws which seemed to have regulatory features. Drager quetioned him with special reference to the nonresident junk dealers li- cense and the license on collection and employment agencies.
 Cochran Dubious
 Senator Cochran declared that he had no understanding of the provis- ions of the bill at the present time and that if he didn't understand them all clearly when the bill comes up for passage he would take the safe side and vote against it.
 Rep Allen Shattuck suggested that to get away from heavy administra- tive costs the Legislature might pass an income tax law tackled to the Federal income tax law" to provide that the payment would be based di- rectly upon the Federal returns. He suggested that such a tax should be 'tacked" to the 1940 Federal law as it is believed the Federal tax will go up very materially as long as the defense efforts last
 Harsch said with reference to this suggestion that such a scheme was exactly what he had in mind in drawing his bill and that in 90 per- cent of the cases the only difference between the Federal and Territorial taxes would be the computation of amount of tax due. He said there were special cases in which this process could not be followed.
 Follows Federal Law
 This bill follows the Federal law very, very closely, as closely as it is possible to follow it. Harsch declared at che point in his testimony.
 Opening the hearing, Senator Don Carlos Brownell, of Seward, who pre- sides over the Committee-of- the Whole session, declared the bill in question to be 'cne of the most im- portant matters that could come be- fore the Legislature in this session or any other"
 He criticized a tendency on the part of opponents to belittle the motives of those proposing the bill'' and declared the bill to be the re- suit of careful study and long con- sideration by people who have no in terest in seeing it passed"
 Brownell said the bill was pro- posed as a measure to benefit Alas ka.

New York's sophisticated and ultra-modern Museum of Mod ern Art is the scene of an un- usual exhibition these days-a show made up of Indian arts and crafts, with articles ranging in age from 15,000 years to a few montlls-stone and wood sculpture, pottery, metalwork, weaving, jewelry, painting and mosaics. The exhibition has thus far proved to be one of the most popular yet shown in the museum, and is sponsored by the United States Department of the Interior.
 Instead of drawing on the styles or cultures of foreign countries, some of which are no longer available as sources, the exhibition is of purely American origin and development. Four Indians, all of whom had con tributed material to the show were the guests of honor at the opening, and Mrs. Franklin D Roosevelt spent considerable time with them when she wis tied the show. The guests were Ambrose Roan Horse, Navajo siiversmith; Fred Kabotie, Hop painter; Nellie Star Boy Buffalo Chief and Elsie Bonser, Siou, WeaVerS.
 Mrs. Roosevelt is an interested and active patroness of Indiar arts and crafts, and her wide knowledge of Indian arts wa. evident in a statement sht made, commenting on the work!
