HEARING50N INCOME TAX
 BILL ENDED
H. MCCain Makes Plea for Passage : Medley
 Urges Defeat

Emphatic pro and con statements on the Territorial income tax bill were heard in Senate Committee -of- the-Whole hearings late yesterday afternoon and today Hearings have now been concluded and the highly controversial bill returned to the Taxation Committee of the Senate, over the protests of a vocal minority of members who today questioned Senate President Henry Roden's rul- ing on the point.
 A flat statement that he hoped the Senate would kill the bill was made as the concluding remark of Edward F. Medley, attorney, yester- day afternoon after he had pointed to a number of alleged flaws in the bill and declared that in every par ticular in which it departs from the Federal income tax model the pro- posed Territorial act is more severe in it's provisions. ',a'e 'O
 Mccain to Contrary fi5f Taking issue with him on this point was Mayor Harry Mccain of Ketchikan who was heard today in favor of passage of the bill. In the one important difference between the Federal and Territorial acts, Me- Cain said, the proposed bill is not more severe, but many, many iold' more lenient That, he said, is in the rate of taxation, which he Jerm- ed the thing we're interested in as taxpayers.
 Mccain cited one case which he said had been cited to him of man who now pays about s200,000 in Fed eral income tax but who would pay under the proposed Territorial tax only $16,000
 1 The Mayor, who emphasized that he did not appear for the City of Ketchikan or for any group, but only for himself, declared that ne did not urge high taxes, that the payment of taxes was no more pleas ant to him than to anyone else, but

that he believed he spoke for the average Alaskan when he said that this was a time for the Territory to march forward.
 There are good many things we need if we are to go ahead he de- clared. If it's going. to cost us a few more dollars in taxes. then the people still want us to do t h e things
 Consider on Merits
 Mccain pleaded that the bill be considered on it's merits and not on technical matters and things which you and your committees can cor rect" He claimed most of the argu- ment against the bill had been on these technical points and that the real question was two-fold: Does the Territory need more revenue?' and "Is this fair way to raise it?"
 The assertion that outside capi- tai was being given little bit more consideration than it deserved in regard to the bill was made by Mccain.
 Medley's reference to the bill being like full dress suit which the Territory was trying to put on while it was still in swaddling clothes was picked up by Mccain who declared:
 This statement carries the in- ference that we're babes, and believe we are still babes and we're often babes in the woods
 After McCain's statement the Committee of the Whole supported five to three motion by Senator Norman R. Walker that the Com mittee arise with the recommen- dation that the bill be rereferred to the Taxation Committee. Those opposing the motion, Senators Ed ward Coffey, O. D. Cochran and Leroy Sullivan, contended the bill had already been in the Taxation Committee and now should go to the Finance Committee.
 The bill was finally sent to Tax ation by President Roden over pro- tests against his ruling.

FIFTH COLUMN
 REMARK RAES
 HOUSE MEMBER
Dr. Whitehead's $ Testimony on Medical Pra(fice
 Bill Attacked

The mention of fifth column ists" threw the House of Represen- tatives into an uproar this morning and moved several legislators to angry criticism of statements which were made by Dr. w. M. White head of Juneau, but the bill which he was supporting, one to require that applicants to practice medi- cine in Alaska must be citizens, was finally passed by the House, ten to six.
 pr. Whitehead was called by Rep Leo Rogge, author of the bill, to testify in it's favor. He said he did not see how any good Ameri- can citizen could vote against such a measure and implied that oppo- sition to it was the work of fifth columnists.
 This brought Rep. Charles Her bert of Fairbanks boiling to his feet with the observation that the rules of the House prevented mem bers from impugning the motives of other members and that the same rules should prevent witness es from impugning motives.
 Refugee Tieup
 Rep. James V. Davis then asked Dr. Whitehead whether the fear that refugee colonization might bring a number of foreign physi- clans to Alaska didn't have some thing to do with the bill, and Whitehead replied he hadn't con- sidered that possibility
 Rep. Frank Whaley, Nome flier' said he wouldn't feel quite right about going to an alien physician for a pilots physical examination and observed a doctor would be in I good position to perform an act of sabotage Davis said all aliens were not fifth columnists, and that he considered the medical profes- sion a science and therefore inter national.
 Rep. Frank Gordon observed that though from the standpoint of moral validity" the bill was rot a good one, he was going to vote for it under present conditions so some alien physicians won't be cutting out my appendix when it isn't necessary"
 When the votes were taken, those opposing the bill were Davis, Lander, Herbert, Lyng, Mccormick and Stangroom.
 Bid Amendment Defeated
 Several other measures of minor import were passed by the House which turned thumbs down on Rep Frank Gordon's bill to place food clothing and medical supplies un- der the bid law.
 Rep. Harvey J. Smiths initiative and referendum bill came out of committee in a new substitute form. Do pass recommendation was attached to Smiths three-day marriage notice bill.
 The House adjourned until II O. clock tomorrow.

It was interpreted as pledging Nice to closer cooperation with the Democratic President than had been given by the Democratic Gov ernor When this line of thought was emphasized later. Nice was quick to deny he was deserting Republican principles and to point to numerous reservations in the pledge to aid the President.
 Criminal Lawyer
 Nice, an astute criminal lawyer, arrived at the governorship as a result of political alertness, stra- tegy and ability to recognize an opportune time for action. He as- pired to the office first in 1919 and was beaten then by Ritchie by the slim margin of 165 votes.
 Nice, the son of a Methodist Episcopal minister, was born in Washington on December 5, 1877 His family moved to Baltimore when he was elgnt years old anu he attended the public schools there. Later he was graduated from Dick inson College, Carlisle, Pa, and from the University of Maryland's law school.
 He was admitted to the bar in 1899. Tn 1901, he ran for the Legis- lature but was defeated ill the pri- mary. Later he was in succession a member of the Baltimore city council, secretary to the mayor, an election supervisor, states attorney and a tax appeal judge.
 In 1904 he married Edna Viola Amos, descendant of an old Mary land family They had one son Harry w. Nice Jr.
