JUNEAU, March 21-By a vote of 12 to four. the Territorial House this week passed a much amended income tax bill which imposes a tax of from one and one half to five per cent on personal net income and a flat three per cent on corporation net income.
 Voting against the measure, which is similar to one previously killed in the Senate. were Davis, Harvey Smith. Rogge and Whaley.
 The bill with a half dozen others was sent over to the Senate and the latter placed them on the bottom of the calendar and there was some question whether any of them would be accepted by the two thirds vote necessary for acceptance as the time limit for exchange of bills be- tween the two houses expires on Tuesday If the House income tax bill fails to come up in the Senate before Tuesday it will require six votes to even give 1t consideration. The Senate killed the previous in- come tax bill by a vote of five to three.
 The House also passed the blaE- ket primary election bill and d measure reducing bounty on coyotes from $2O to $1750.
 Meanwhile the Senate killed a bill for the Alaska women's home and also killed a memorial asking raise in the appropriation for Al aska fire control service to $175,-I 00O

BALKANS TENSE

Meanwhile bombs continued lo rain on London and German report said Hitler might strike at Greece at any moment and set off the Bal kan war he had hoped to avert. German diplomats themselves said reports of big British troop land ings in Salonika, if true, might al- so spur Germany to swift action Fleeing Italian and Albanian sol diers brought stories out of the war zone that the Fascists divisions are fast disintegrating after the failure of the March offensive which Beni- to Mussolini is reputed to have di- rected on the ground. Reports that some units were in wild and head long flight toward the Adriatie coast came simultaneously with re- ports from the Albanian frontier that Tepeleni central Albanian town, defended by the Faseists since mid-December finally had fallen to the Greeks.
 Turkey, Britain's on-billigerent ally, meantime, has massed 100000 men along her frontier facing Hit ler's forces in Bulgaria.
 Yugoslavia Yields
 YugoslaYia was reported to have made a non-intervention agreement with Germany with certain proyis- ions for it's independence but there was fear in British ranks that Yug- oslayia had succumbed to Nazi pow CT. Three Yugoslayia ministers re- signed yesterday, it was reported. London reported that British sub marines were striking hard at Italy s efforts to reinforce her overseas armies and have torpedoed five heavily laden Fascist transports ana supply ships,
 RAF bombers struck at the Ger mans in fiery overnight raids Oh Cologne the Nazi U-boat base, at Larent, France, and airdromes la Belgium and the Netherlands eysa while London was undergoing iIS heaviest aerial assault of this year
 German commentators described the present heavy raids on Britalu as a preparatory phase of Nazi mil itary action. What now is going on in the air over England, they as- serted may be eyaluated by a study of what German military strategy did on Poland, Norway and France.
 On the other side of the world, from Sargon, French Indo-China came report of rumors that the Japanese are planning to send 100,- 900 thousand troops from Hainan Island across the middle of Indo- China to Thailand. Concern, accord ingly, arose as to the prospect of continued peace in that region.

18th Seat
Predicted
IBy Brown
Tim. star Correspondent

GRAND RAPIDS. Feb. 20.-
United States Senator Prentiss NJ.
Brown, here for the Democratic
state convention. predicted today
that Michigan would win another
congressional seat despite opposi-
ton in the House.
Under the 1910 census Michigan
Is entitled 90 an eighteenth con-
gresham. However, the House
Tuesday passed bill making
readjustments for all other states,
but limiting Michigan TO its pres
ent IL members so that Arkansas
will not be cut from seven TO six.
Senator Brown revealed that il
the bill does not pass the upper
chamber before March 9. the re-
adjustment will take place auto
matically and Michigan will gain,
while Arkansas will lose.
Fortunately, the bill was re-
ferred TO the commerce COM
mittee, on which both Senator
Nandenberg and myself sit,"
Brown commented. I'VE hope
to be able to keep the measure
tied up until the March o dead
line.
'If II Is passed at all. I pre-
diet there will be compromise
provision that membership In
the House shall be increased by
one seat, which will 60 to Mich

GRAND RAPIDS, Feb. 20
Chosen for the nomination for
state superintendent of public in
struction, Prof. Edward w. Nc
Farland of Wayne University.
today shouldered with Highway
Commissioner G. Donald Kennedy
the burden Of keeping the Demo
cratic Party a living force in
Michigan politics.
Fearful that the party has
reached a turn in the road that
might lead back TO the bleak days
before Roosevelt. ober-minded and
serious delegates forgot ancient
quarrels as they met in state con-
vention here and for the first time
in a decade were prepared to act
unanimously.
Mcfarland, former chairman of
the liquor control commission, was
unknown in politics five years ago
Kennedy began his climb less than
10 years ago.
LOOK TO VAN WAGNER
Yet the destiny of the party be-
came their obligation. For IL they
fail in the election April z. Gov.
Murray d. Van Wagner would be
almost completely surrounded in
Lansing by Republicans.
Since President Roosevelt lost
Michigan last November, after
carrying local Democrats to VIC
tory in two previous elections, the
leaders have no national pillar on
which to lean.
Hence they look hopefully TO
Kennedy and Mcfarland and to
the skillful and powerful leader
ship of Governor Van Wagner.
WAR PARTY WORKERS
Nominations are to be made for
other Offices. But the whole cam
paign will be built around these
two candidates because they would
be members Of the state admins
trative board, which is the execu-
tive cabinet.
The board Is divided equally at
the present time. II Republicans
can defeat Highway Commissioner
Kennedy. and retain Eugene B.
Elliott as superintendent of public
instruction, they would be in con-
troll.
That is why speakers at a BAN
quet last night, and again at the
opening OF the convention this
morning. repeated the warning to
the 100 party workers that q
desperate crisis is ahead.
The point was made by Gov
ernor Van Wagner. by United
States Senator Prentiss NJ. Brown,
by Lieut.. Gov. Frank Murphy. by
Kennedy and by Frank Fitzgerald,
nominee for the Circuit Court in
Detroit and candidate last year
for the United States Senate.

The convention will renominate
