 pl0NEERS' HOME
Recommendations of Spe CidI Committee Made
 in Legislature

Construction of an addition to the Pioneers Home at Sitka to take care of at least 100 persons and abandonment of the Goddard Home were recommended today by the Pio- neers' Home Committee of the House which visited the institution several weeks ago.
 A Senate Committee had made identical recommendations last week.
 Such an addition is estimated by Superintendent Filler Hansen to cost $175 000.
 The House Committee also urges that mental cases, if any, be trans ferred to other institutions and that tubercular cases be segregated or transferred elsewhere if possible.

INVESTIGATION
 OF 1940 FISH
 CLOSING ASKED

Last falls closing of fishing in the Icy Strait and Chatham Strait dis tricts in the midst of an apparently tremendous run of salmon had rever- berations in the Legislature today when Rep. Harvey J. Smith intro duced a memorial asking Delegate Anthony J. Dimond and Gov Ernest Gruening to investigate the closing by the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 The memorial asserts the closing action was taken due to inexperi- ence and lack of good Judgment of officials
 It asks that direction of Fish and Wildlife Service activities in Alaska be placed in the hands of "compe- tent and experienced officials whose permanent residences are in the Ter ritory and that greater authority be given agents in the field. It also asks that fisheries commissions be creat- ed in each district to counsel and advise the Service.

SEARCH ENDS
 FOR BODY OF
 kNG0ON MAN
Parker Pt. Tragedy Takes Lives of Four Men-
 Only Three Found

All hope of recovering the body native, was abandoned Friday night, February 21, when friends and rela- tives of the missing man gave up at the end of siX-day search. The bodies of Archie Bell Peter J. Johnson, and George Davis Jr., the three other members of the ill-fated party were recovered Feb ruary 18 The location of the bodies, some articles of clothing. and a few hand tools clearly indicated that the tragedy occurred near the eastern shore of Chatham Straits about four miles north of Parker Point. It is believed that Nicholas Johnson chung to the swamped boats and drifted into deep water
 The party of four men left An goon Saturday morning, February 15, for days outing. They were travelling in two 14-foot double ender rowboats, each powered with | nine horsepower outboard motor
 They proceeded to Marble Cove where two of the men went ashore to await the return of the other two who went on to Tenakee to make some purchases. About mid afternoon another Angoon resident who was seal hunting stopped at Marble Cove and learned from the two men on shore that they in- tended to return to Angoon that evening with their two companions.
 Sunday morning the men were still absent, and a boat put out from Angoon to investigate. Upon arrival at Marble Cove the search ing party found evidence of a campfire which by this time was cold, indicating that it had been abandoned since the day before. The party then returned to An goon and reported the matter to John Maurstad, CCC foreman, who organized a large searching party to search the beaches on both sides of Chatham Straits. Inquiry at Tenakee revealed that the two men, Bell and Davis, had been there as reported and had left on the return trip about 3:3O pm. Sat urday.
 A coat belonging to one of the missing men was found on the beach Monday. This concentrated the search in that immediate locality with the result that the three bodies were found the following day, Feb ruary IS. This same day the two rowboats were found drifCing near Cosmos Cove. The motors were still attached and the boats were lashed together at the stern.
 A piece of frayed line attached to the bow of each boat gives rise to the theory that the boats had been travelling side by side, lashed to- gether fore and aft, and that the parting of the bow line while trav- cling at high speed caused the boats to sheer apart and swamp. As the straits were calm all day, this seems to be the only logical explanation.
 The recovered bodies were buried at Angoon on February 19. The men were all members of the Angoon eco, but were off duty and not under official supervision at the time they left Angoon.

No Strike Machinery
 Proposed


 WASHINGTON, March 5-Robert Patterson Undersecretary of War, today proposed creation of strike prevention machinery such as was set up. during the World War to pre- vent interruptions of current arms production.
 Reviewing the work of the 12-man board organized by President Wilson during the World War, Patterson said he believed a similar system based on conciliation and voluntary compliance by both labor and man. agements could avert many strikes and prevent loss of many man days work.

Measure Bitterly Attacked Bitterly Defended in
 HOt Session

S5,000 of Territorial funds by the House of Representative today to carry on his work as a member Jf the International Highway Con- mission but not until after full dress debate brought cut the most sensational charges and counter charges of the session.
 MacDonald's case was pleaded by Rep. Frank Gordon, author ot the bill, and attacked by Rep. liar vey J. Smith, James V. Davis ar Allen Shattuck.
 There is nothing so touching, Davis declared in one of the final arguments this afternoon, "as one Scotchman pleading for the expen- allure Of pubic funds fo the bene- fit of another Scotchman.'
 The vote was Il to 5, with Reps Amer J. Peterson and H. H. Me Cutcheon joining the three prin- cipal foes of the measure in the nay vote.
 Ability Questioned
 At one point, Speaker McCutch- con asked Gordon:
 I've been told MT. Macdonald is not exactly 100 percent efficient mentally. How about that?"
 Gordon replied: I consider that a great reflection not only upor MT. Macdonald but on the whole Scottish race"
 After the noon recess, in his final argument, Gordon asserted that "the idea MT. Macdonald is unbalanced mentally was put for ward by a henchman of Captain Lathrop.' He declared that La throp was "unalterably opposed" te the International Highway because he is "a great believer in the Al aska Steamship Company and 6 great friend and great believer 1T Colonel Ohlson, Manager of tht Alaska Railroad, and he's never come out to oppose the railroads exorbitant rates
 Gordon spoke scathingly of any one who would stoop to influence the minds of the members of this Legislature by spreading such ru- mors."
 Fifth Column Again
 Gordon read letter after letter and petition after petition from Fairbanks organizations support ing the appropriation.
 The fifth column. note was sounded again in the Legislature in letter from an American Le- zion Post saying the highway was being delayed by "the inertia oi politicians acted on by subversivt influences and in Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce letter de claring that anyone opposing ths appropriation for Macdonald wa good material for a fifth column. 
 Rep. Harvey J. Smith said h. opposed the appropriation becaus' the Commission had not been SC up by the Territory, Macdonald had. never submitted a. report O. an accounting to the Legislatur' of what he did with $5.000 appro priated two years ago, the Legis lature has no way of knowing whether Macdonald is the prope man to serve on the Commission and if the appropriation is sount legislation, it would be worth good deal more than $5,000.
 Rep. Allen Shattuck suggested i've would be far better off Il our representation if we passed memorial asking the appointmen of Tony Dimond to replace Donald MacDonald.'
 Rep. Jesse Lander of Faircank said the highway might be "ou salvation" some day, just as tn Burma Road is now China's sal yation.
