.0f Shoes
For Alaska

SEATTLE, Feb. Is. The
Office of War Information here
has been advised by Rupert
Emerson, Regional Director of
Territories and Possessions,
that Alaska is exempt from
shoe rationing.
Dealers may transfer shoes
from the states to the territory
without rationing certificates.
The announcement is made
TO allay the concern of Alas
kans who, deprived of trans
portation facilities that prevail
in the cities and towns
throughout the nation, wear
out more shoes per person than
do the residents of Seattle,
Sheboygan, Wisconsin, or South
Bend, Indiana.
Not only are men, women and
children of the northern terri
tory exempt from the rationing
order, but no difficulty is an
ticipated in supplying Alaska's
shoes needs and no impede
ment in supplies is expected.

Decisive Defeat
In the first all-ont armored bat

Observers here likened the de-

Eighth Army at Ain Ell Fazala, west
OF f0bruk last summer, when Rom
mel began his advance toward
Egypt. The result did not appear
likely to be serious on the Libyan
battle front last summer, however,
because the British First Army in
the north was advancing and the
British Eighth Army in the south
was moving up and menacing Rom
mel's flank.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 49, The

canned meats.
The ban on the sale of these
products, including canned sal

The action was taken in response
to request by Secretary of Agri-

said that purchases during recent
weeks threatened to leave little or

DEADLOCK IN
LEGISLATURE
Seen TODAY
Battle Starts When House
Wont Accept Bill
from Senate

The strong possibility Of a dead
lock between Alaska's legislative
houses that would stall practically
all legislation, rode into the legis-
lative halls today on the wings OF
the eagle bounty repeal bill.
Unless the House backs up and
agrees to accept the repeal bill
from the Senate, the deadlock is
expected to begin tomorrow.
The battle began when the Sen
ate yesterday afternoon suspended
the rules and reconsidered the
bounty repeal bill which the Sena-
tors had killed the day before.
Yesterday, however, the repeal bill
was passed by a SD vote
Speaker James v. Davis refused
to accept the bill in the House
this morning however, sending II
back to the Senate on the grounds
that the Senate Journal on file in
the House showed only that the
bill had been killed by tie vote
on Tuesday. The records showing

about yesterday upon the request
of Senator H. H. McCutcheon and
protested by Senator Ed Coffey
were not received in the House
until late this afternoon. The rec
ora OF the bills progress. however,
was written on the back OF the
measure.
Kicked Back
SO the bill was kicked back to
the Senate.
When the matter came up In the
Senate this afternoon, Senator N
r. Walker labeled the Houses re-
fusal to accept the bill an ''un-

Merry Go Round

WASHINGTON.-The vote on
the War Mobilization Bill to re-
vamp the jittery War production
Board and put certain Army Navy
production under civilian control
was one of the most significant in
ten years of the Roosevelt Adj
manistration.
This vote. which transferred the
bill from the Education and Labor
Committee to the Military Affairs
Committee, saw the President ap-
pealing to Republican leaders =
Senators McNary, Bridges, Lodge
to defeat his old New Deal friends.
1t saw him falling back on Old
Deal Democrats who have bitterly
attacked hiIn-Byrd of Virginia.
Reynolds of North Carolina, Tyd-
ings of Maryland-to get their sup
port.
And the men Roosevelt slapped
down in this vote were those who
had gone down the line for him
when the going was really tough
on labor legislation, on neutral
ity revision on social reform-nen
like Peppe: Ut Florida, Thomas OF
Utah, xiiRme of West Virginia,
Murray Of Montana, Truman OF
Missouri.
The vote left a lot of sour
faces in the Senate and may mean
a gradual new lineup. For some
New Dealers now declare they are
finished with the rubber stamp
act.
