Anthony E. Karnes is out as head of Seleetiye Service (draft) in AL aska and his successor is expected 10 be John E. Pegues of Juneau. for mer Executive Secretary of tthe AL aska Planning Council which was eliminated by the Legislature which ended last week, according to word to the Periseope
 AIr. Karnes will be recalled as the Commissioner of Education for many years. who was busted by the Board of Education and was re- placed by Dr. Ryan of Fairbanks af- ter considerable political maneuYer- ing in the Board. Karnes. tops educator, was appointed to head selective service first of the year, His present plans are reported to be Californiaward with the family. Tony. as he is known to thous- ands in Alaska, is al the top of the list of eligibles for appointment with the Office of Indian Affairs.
 Pegues wound up his duties with the Planning Council past week when that organization discontinu- ed business after the legislature failed to make further appropriation for it's activity. Like Karnes, who is a Past Department Commander of the American Legion in Alaska, Pegues is a war veteran and Legion naire; was in the newspaper busi- ness for years before entering pub lie office eight years ago; formerly headed FILA in the Territory.
 
 You haven't heard the end of the Unemployment Compensation Com- mission appointment. You may very well be hearing about it for the next two years.
 In the closing hours of the Legis- lature, Governor Gruening sent down the name of Mike Haas of Anchorage to the Legislature for confirmation as a member of the Commission to replace Richard E. Hardcastle of Ketehikan, whose term is up. Haas already had been appointed Commissioner of Labor, a salaried job newly created at s3,- 500 per year. Lawmakers looked with displeasure on the dual ap- pointment and refused to confirm Haas for the second post; asked the Governor to submit further names. Chief Executive said he had no other to present at the time. At o'clock last Friday morning, the 18th Legislature adjourned sine die. That afternoon the Governor an- nounced the appointment of the Rev. John L. Cauble, pastor of the Resurrection Lutheran church Of Juneau, to the Unemployment Com mission. Legislature had adjourned and couldn't act on the appointment for two years, unless there should be a special session in the meantime.
 The catch is this. The Unemploy- ment Compensation Commission law carries an amendment which the lawmakers had subtly inserted. It reads:
 Upon the expiration of the term of a member the Governor shall submit the name of his successor for confirmation by the Legislature then in session; if the Governor

fails to submit such name the in- cumbent shall continue to hold of flee and shall continue to perform the duties thereof until his success sor shall have been appointed and his appointment confirmed by the Legislature as this section provided. and no recess or interim appoint ment shall be made in such case.
 In appointing the Rev. Mr. Cau- ble. the Governor said he did not believe the amendment applied to this case.
 Some of the lawmakers have an entirely different viewpoint. One of them is Senator 0. D. Cochran. pion- eer Nome attorney, who helped word that little amendment. The Senator made it clear to your Peri scoper last Friday afternoon while in Wrangell southbound after the close of the Legislature that the amendment was written to meet just such contingency.
 Whether Mr Cauble will be per mitted to serve remains to be seen At any rate. the crystal ball re- yeals rather clearly there is a tenn pest in the offing. Senator Cochran has an enyiable reputation for writ ing legislation on which he is will ling to stand.

The Manufacturers Association of Connecticut favors establishment of motor truck rates for New Eng land carriers that reflect the cost of operation and a classification based on weight and density or quantity of trafnc in each weight category, according to . 61-page brief filed today with the Inter- state Commerce Commission in Washington. The brief, prepared by Norris W. Ford, traft1c manager of the Association, represents the views of thousands of shippers throughout the nation as expressed directly or indirectly through nu- merouS business organizations at ICO. hearings held in Brooklyn, Washington, Providence and Boston in 1888, 1939 and 1940 where some 13,0O0 pages, of testimony was in- troduced in evidence.
 StabiIizing Industry.
 The entire proceedings, known as Ex Parte MC-22, Motor Carrier Rates in New England, grew out of an effort to stabilize the motor car- rier industry on the part of the New England Motor Freight Bureau of Boston and the Eastern Motor Freight Conference of Hartford who petitioned the I.C.C. in 1888 to initiate an investigation of motor carrier rates in New England. Starting the investigation in April, 1888, the Commission handed down its original decision August 3, 1888, which provided, in substance, for the prescription of class and con- nodity rates then in effect and published in various tariffs issued by the Eastern Motor Freight Bu- reau, Inc, and the New England Motor Rate Bureau. Later the in- vestigation was reopened and broad ened to include import, export, coaStwise and intercoaStal traffic by order of the Commission July Is, 1889, and hearings assigned at Boston during September of that year. Further hearings were held at Brooklyn, N. Y, in October, 1889, at Washington, D. C., in November and in Providence, R. T., in Septem- Der, 1940.
 The Manufacturers' Association which was representde at all hear ings favored substantially the posi- tion taken by the New England Motor Rate Bureau which, contrary to the Eastern Motor Freight Con-

 After quoting from the remarks of Senator Burton Wheeler, chair man of the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce, and Clarence F. Lea, chairman of the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Com merce of the House of Representa- tives concerning the intent of the Transportation Act of I0l0, of which they were, co-authors, the Associa~ tion's brief concludes that: "If the Commission is to adhere to the statute and to the expressed inten- tion of Congress 1t would appear that it has no alternative other than to prescribe reasonable rates for highway carriers without regard to the effect of such rates upon Gny other form of transportation"

Building Materials Up

Another outstanding fact was
that while labor accounted for a
large part of the cost increase in
the u months. the labor factor
reversed itself in February when
prices of building materials were
responsible for most the-ene-
month increase figures.
Breaking aeHH- the tetaEeef--

labor and materials, the boards
economists announced the follow
ing percentage changes:
From February, 1910, to Feb
ruary, 1871, labor costs increased

terials 81 per cent. From January
to February this year labor costs
increased 0.5 per cent and building
