RALPH RIVERS
 HERE BRIEFLY
 ON WAY NORTH
Represents PAA in Civil Aeronautils Board
 Hearings

Ralph J. Rivers, Fairbanks attor- ney and Territorial Attorney Gen. eral- -elect, passed through Juneau yesterday afternoon on his way to Fairbanks after attending the Civil Aeronautics Board hearings in Washington, D. O., on applications of airline carriers for routes in and to Alaska
 He acted as Alaska consultant for Pan American World Airways at the hearings and said that decision probably will not be forthcoming for at least six months.
 Much was said about postwar passenger service on luxury air lin- CTS" Rivers said, especially with reference to long flights to the Orient. s
 "Pan American World Airways was one of the applicants for the northern route to the Orient to be made effective after the war, in con- nection with which the Alaska sec ter would be one link. However, Harold Bixby, PAA's vice-president and chief witness at the hearing tes- ltified that the Alaska service should be treated as self-sustaining oper- ation with flight schedules most suited to Alaska's needs, regardless of eventual extension of service to the Orient, Fairbanks to be the Alaska terminal.
 "Bixby also urged an exclusive coast route, including Anchorage for the time being and until such time as volume of through traffic from the East and Middle West would justify an inside route with Chicago and Twin Cities as potential gateways, and pointed out that the coast route would serve Juneau and other Alaska cities"
 In Washington Rivers. joined Delegate E. L. Bartlett and Fair banks city councilman John Clark at the meetings with the CAA concern ing Fairbanks airport problems.
 Rivers said that he will be down to Juneau just as soon as he can gather up his family in Fairbanks, which will be about March Is.

HOUSE ADDS FAT SUM TO
 MONEY BILL
Ways and Means Measure Is Over Last Lower
 Assembly Hurdle

After giving it's record breaking General Appropriations measure a last loving paternal caress, with a | s225,000 boost to Public Welfare Director Russell Maynard's office, the House of Representative today finished with the bill and left it at the sum of $6,522,l72, an increase of $348,l04 over the bills original total.
 Biggest share of the boosts went to Public Welfare, Director May hard getting an increase in three departments of finance over what the Board of Budget had originally recommended: from $100,000 to s254,500 for administration; from $25O.00O to s4500OO for relief, and from $50,0O0 to $75,000 for the Juvenile Code.
 Minor cuts of bill figures were: $30000 from the Alaska Territorial Guard fund; $3,360 from the salary lof Commissioner of Labor Walter Sharpe, and $4,24O from assayer salaries in the Commissioner of Mines monies.
 Glad to be done with the bill, House members let it go its normal route to third reading and final vote.
 A eulogy was delivered by Rep- resentative A. B. Cain lauding the Ways and Means Committee for it's diligence" declaring that dis regarding a "scathing minority re- port" and also an editorial" the committee had proved it was being careful with the taxpayers money Cain pointed to the fact that the bills recommendation had not been cut, but had been actually raised-some $34S,0O0.
 The House gave the Ways and Means Committee a vote of ap- preciation, II to 3, with committee members, both minority and ma jority, not voting.

No, I am just as cold in these gowns" she said. I found out that they were somewhat more than flimsy and the form-fit required that she wear nothing underneath.
 asked Director Mitch Leisen's opinion on the momentous sarong- gown issue and he handed down the decision that the stockinged leg is much more suggestive than the bare flesh"
 Next I polled Paramount's dress designer, Edith Head, on whether Dotty looked sexier in the gowns.
 T think she looks much more se- ductive," she replied, altering the adjective She showed me the sket- ches for Dotty's costumes. They were Lulus, but I manifested more in- terest in the sarong.
 Observing that I was losing in- terest in the clothes, Miss Head ans wered my breathless queries about the sarong. It consists first of a pair of shorts to allow the wearer to move with minimum of worry. Then comes the sarong proper, or l should say, itself The whole gar

UNANIMOUS VOTE BACKS
 CHURCHILL
However, Eden Warns Great Britain 10 Give No
 Further Concessions

LONDON, March 1--The House of Commons gave Prime Minister Winston Churchill an unanimous vote of confidence tonight in sup port of the Big Three" decisions at Yalta.
 The vote was 4l3 to 0. This action came after three days of Britain's most important foreign policy de- bate since the war began. It con- stituted the first legislative en- dorsement of the Yalta decisions by one of the great powers. It is perhaps, Churchill's most sweeping triumph in Il tests of strength since taking office.
 The vote came after a last minute appeal for unbroken unity by Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, during which he warned that Austria must part company with Nazi Germany. He cautioned the people that time was running short for that action.
 Eden bluntly remarked that members of the Polish Lublin Com mittee didn't make a good impress sion upon himself or Churchill during the conference in Moscow several months ago. There is nc question of our not affording tc recognize them," he asserted witf 1 firm indication that Britain will refuse to go further than the Big Three's" proposition to set up @ new Polish coalition government.

 HIT ANEW

Boot-scarred Representative AL mer Peterson got another hot-foot from the House of Representatives yesterday when colleagues killed ty indefinite postponement his bill to divide the Third Division into two voting districts.
 The attack on Peterson's measure, House Bill No. 20, was led by Rep resentative Stanley McCutcheon. The vote for indefinite postpone ment was 19 to 5, with Peterson's lone Third Division support coming from his Republican colleague. Gill.
 The indefinite postponement mo- tion came before the bill could be heard i nsecond reaoing, so Peterson circumvented the chair ruling by gaining the floor and reading the measure himself in an attempt to breathe life into the fast-failing measure to sustain it for. another five minutes.
 Peterson denied the measure was directed at any Third Division member of the Legislature, and de- clared the purpose of dividing the Third above and below the sixty degree parallel was to give the little outlying communities a chance to elect their own representation. ?
 With Third Divisioners McCut- cheon, Taylor, Diamond, Huntly and Pollard lined up for a heavy divisional majority against Peter son and Gill. the measure never had a chance.

 BY SENATE
Question as 10 Constiiu- tionaIiiy Blocks Pas
 sage Yesterday

Alaskas own private "GI Bill of Rights, Senate Bill No. 25, by Senator Edward D. Coffey, looked for time Wednesday afternoon as though it were going to run the gantlet of the upper chamber in two short leaps.
 The bill hurdled second reading without amendment and a motion to suspend the rules and take i'm mediate final vote was before the Senate when Senator O. D. Coch- ran interposed a doubt as to the validity of those provisions requir- ing e-employment of veterans by private individuals and firms. Il was agreed all around that simi- lar requirements imposed with re- gard to Territorial service would stand up under any questioning as to constitutionality
 Just to make sure that they were not passing an illegal measure, the Senators decided to hold the bill in second reading until today in order to seek opinions from Att torney- General Henry Roden and probably from Anthony E. Karnes Alaska Representative for the Vet erans' Administration.
 In addition to unemployment re- quirements, the bill would give hiring preference for Territorial jobs to war veterans A suggestion by Senator Don Carlos Brownell to limit the coverage of the act tc those servicemen who have served overseas was quickly howled down As Senator John Butrovich, Jr.. put it.. "A soldier cannot say where he is to serve."
 Also up for Senate action today was another of Representative Maurice Johnson's bills of a minor legal nature, House Bill No. 37 Suggested by Judge Harry E. Pratt Of the U. s. District Court for the Fourth Division, the measure bore
 
 the endorsement of several of the Territory's Bar Associations. It wa. left without amendments and wa. quickly advanced to final passage where 1t carried unanimously.
 The provisions of the bill sub. stitute the Director of United States Courts for the Attorney. General of the United States. te designate judges to perform certain duties
 Introduction of four more new bills and committee reports com. pleted the days business for ths Senate. Declared by the Engrossine Committee to be in correct form were: Senate Bill No. 2, Senat, Bill No. 29, and House Bill No. 34 all of which have already received Senate approval
 After some discussion in an eff fort to avoid conflict with com mittee meetings, the Senators ad Journed until this. morning at l o'clock.

Alaska. Hand-driven traps, common in Cook Inlet, are excluded from the bill, he pointed out.
 MT. Arnold declared his opinion that most of the provisions of the bill are beyond the purview of the Legislature to enact, pointing spec ifically to the power given under the bill to a Fisheries Commission, which it would set up, to establish areas in which traps could be located. The provision, the witness said, is a usurpacion of the powers delegated by Congress to the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 That Commission
 Just what is to be the function of the Fisheries Commission, as es- tablished by the bill?, MT. Arnold asked. Unlimited rule-making pow CTS are conferred upon it by the measure.
 MT. Arnold was still in the chair when the Senate recessed until 2 o'clock this afternoon, with Rep. Taylor and other proponents of the bill still to be heard. The recess interrupted questioning by Senator Gordon which sought to establish that production costs of the canned salmon industry have not increased in proportion with wartime price levels for canned salmon.
 Previous to resolving itself into Committee of the Whole, the Sen- ate sat through the full second reading of House Bill 35. Amend ments were proposed by Senator N. R. Walker which would have elim- mated all provisions for establishing a Fisheries Commission. The Walker amendments, which had not yet been acted on when the hearing was opened, would leave the bill only a measure to increase taxes on traps and placing an accumulative levy on excess salmon beyond 100000 caught by all traps held by any one owner. The excess tax would be S2.00 per 1000 fish.
 The trap license fees, as provided in the bill would scale up from the present $200 for a single trap to sl 500 per trap over 50 held by a single owner.
