Tokyo Almost Burned From Earth
Russia, y. S.
Fight Change
in Yalta Vote

San Francisco, May 26-UP -
Great Britain sought Big Four con.
currence today in a proposal to
soften the Yalta voting formula but
was meeting stubborn resistance
from Soviet Russia and the United
States. --..u -H.- q
Big Four inability to agree on
how TO put in writing an interpreta.
ton OF that formula-especially
where and when the big power veto
would apply-was delaying United
Nations Conference progress on
the last major issue. 1t threatened
TO prolong the conference beyond
the tentative adjournment target
the first week of June.
Great Britain stands firmly with
the other big powers against revi-
sion OF the wording of the Yalta
voting formula. But Britain alone
among the big powers is willing to
soften the effect of the veto
through a liberal Interpretation of
the formula. The British would
like to see these three early steps
by the council exempted from the
veto and determined by simple ma
iority vote:
l. Decision to Investigate" a
dispute-short Of setting up a spe.
cial Investigating commission.
,. Determination that "continu-
ance' OF a dispute is likely" 20

3. Decision to call upon" par

ON THE RECORD

Fred G. HanfOrd, Mayor of Wran- gell and Territorial legislative re presentative from the Firts Divi- sion, returned home last week from Juneau and the 17th session of the Territorial legislature.
 Wrangell can well be proud of the record established by her dis tinguisehd citizen for, as a personal observer, sitting in hte House of Re presentatives the 60 days this re- porter can vouch for the esteem, re spect and leadership which Wran- gell's home town boy held among the lawmakers of his own and the other three divisions
 In the first place, Hanford was appointed by Speaker Jesse Lander, as chairman of the Ways and Means committee That, in itself is a record, for chairmanship of the most powerful and potent commit tee in the House is usually reserved for senior members.
 Hanford led the fight for many bills of interest to the First Diyi- sion and the territory as a whole. He was author of the fishermen's disqualification bill which would have provided hospital care for sick or disabled fishermen on boats of five tons or less; also the bill pro- viding for cancellation of Wran- gelPs school bonds; bill for con- struction of sea wall and orna- mental walk in front of our Feder- a building and when that failed in the Senate he introduced a house joint memorial which in cluded the sea wall construction as well as providing for a strip of paving in front of the Signal Corps building in Ketchikan and a rock fill for Douglas which that town has been actively battling to get for some time. He authored the House Bill which appropriated $4,000 60 meet a deficiency in cost of trans portation of school children and he led the successful fight for an appropriation of $275OO toward construction of a new and badly needed hospital in Petersburg.
 Hanford went down the line for the anti-discrimination bill; the bill to raise old age assistance from $45 to $6O per month; teachers re- tirement; Alaska Housing Author ity; raising burial rates for indi- gents from $90 to $125; Statehood; :; the Alaska Development Authority; the bill creating a department of Health with full time commits

sioner. the bill authorizing cities of second class to own their own public utilities, the bill putting Indian children as well as white under care Of the public welfare department. He was one of the co- authors of the general appropria- tions bill and served on the iree conference committee which had final say on what the aDpropria- tions would be- These are only a few of the bills which WrangelIs g First Division representative backed .or sponsored.
 That his fishermen's hospitaliza- tion bill and others were finally killed in the Senate is no reflection on Hanfords ability or integrity The ultra-conservative Senate killed about half a hundred bills needed for betterment of the Territory and its people Result probably will be the added expense of a special ses- sion next winter. The seventeenth session senate. which wound mp it's session with such ill will that it did not even properly adjourn viii go down in history we surmise. as one to be remembered but not with the high respect and regard usually reserved for that supposed ly august upper body. In all fair ness. however men like First Dl- visions Andy Gunderson and Joe Eraar Caaan1 DfvisiOnfe EToua7,7 Lyng. Third Divisions H. H. Me Cutcheon and Don Carlos Brownell and Fourth Divisions Frank Cor don should be pointed ont as pro. gressiye and liberal champions ai the cause of the ordinary man. of Alaska. They were a few against many.
 WrangelIs Hauford can wea h. proud of the record he carries back to the people of this division. His own town has shown it's confidence and appreciation by this week eIe1I- ing him as its mayor for the third consecutive year We hope, come another legislative session two years from now, that it will again see Fred G. Hanford in there bat ting as he covered the plate this time for the First Division.
