|$l5,OOO DAMAGES SOUGHT BY FATHER
Complaint Filed Today for Death of Six-Year-Old
 Boy

Damages of 15,000 will be claimed for fatal injuries sustained by six year-old Richard Peter Pohuski of Waterbury last Feb. when he was struck by a truck near St. Stanis- laus Kostka church, according to court papers drawn up for filing in superior court for the return day on June 5.
 Defendants in the suit are Bur- ton Stevens of Middlebury, doing business as the F. & s. Oil Go. of Waterbury, and Loah N. Stevens of Middlebury, driver of the truck. Property valued at $15,000 has been attached in connection with the action.
 The complaint, drawn up by Attorney Michael A. Ciano, states the child had just left religious session at the church on East Farm street and was playing with other children of his age near the en- trance when he was struck by the vehicle. Extensive injuries, which resulted in the boys death, are listed in the court writ.
 The plaintiff, Peter Pohuski, ad- ministrator of the estate, claims the truck, filled to capacity with $500 pounds of oil, was speeding and that the driver failed to keep a proper lookout or sound timely warning signal.
 It is pointed out further that the truck carried snow blow attach ment in front which interfered with the view of the operator and cre- ated an additional hazard to pedes- trians.
 A further allegation is made that the truck was not equipped with proper chains so as to bring it to an immediate stop on a slippery highway.

QUIET REIGNS
 OVER SENATE
 HALL TODAY
Bill Setting Up Alaska De- velopment Authority
 Is Offered

Alaska's legislative halls were in comparative deep silence today as far as the Senate was concerned, as all discussion and consideration of measures was suspended until the return from Sitka of the Pioneers Home Investigating committed
 The Senate got together at l o'clock this afternoon, but remained in session for only about 30 minutes before adjourning until II o'clock tomorrow forenoon. The remainder of today was to be devoted to com mittee work and other phases of that large portion of law-making that takes place off the floor of the chamber.
 One committee meeting was an- nounced, with the Finance Con- mittee being called together follow ing adjournment.

 Harsth Anent'
 IneonlesL Levy
Tax Counselor Expl lains Tax Bill 10 Committee
 of Whole Senate

Who is Harsch?" That question was yesterday forenoon historically prcpounded to his fellow solons by Senator O. D. Cochran.
 Yesterday afternoon. before pack ed galleries, the question was ans wered by the gentleman himself. AL fred Harsch not only established his identity before the Territorial Sen- ate, sitting as a Committee of the Whole a hear him, but also estab- lished that he knows very great deal about the proposed Alaska 1n- come Tax Act, Senate Bill No. l2.
 In reply to queries by Senator AL len Shattuck, Prof. Harsch describ- ed his background in taxation prob lems as including: IT years in the tax field, for three years counsel for the Washington State Tax Commis- sion, at present on leave from the University of Washington faculty, where he teaches taxation courses in the School of Law. Senator Shattucks question as to how he happened to have come north to frame an income tax bill for the Territory of Alaska was somehow overlooked. without answer. ,
 Prof Harsch's presence before the Senate yesterday afternoon came about through considerable parliamentary jockeying during the morning meeting of the body; and, another skirmish took place before ne commenced his testimony.
 Gordon Wants StenO
 With Senator Cochran appointed .,- Senate President Edward D. Coffey, to fill the chair for the com mittee hearing, Senator Frank Cor don, sponsor of the tax measure, moved that stenographic trans cription be made of the proceedings of the hearing. He stated as his reason for the motion that he be- lieved that Prof. Harsch's remarks on the bill should be available for reference.
 With objections heard from Sem ators Coffey and Leo w. Rogge, the motion was altered to provide only for stenographic recording of such general statements as Prof. Harsch might make and questions address ed to him and his answers. Tn that form the motion carried and Lawrence Kerr, Clerk to the Sen- ate Judiciary Committee, was draft ed for the stenographic .chore. No provision for paying MT. Kerr for. the additional duties was made at the time, and that question is now causing Senators some unease.
 Harsch Explains
 Prof. HarScb's explanation of the proposed bill was at considerable length, as is the bill, snd there fol- lows here only the highlights from his statement and the more salient questions addressed to him and his replies, given in substance:
 Prof. Harsch's introductory state ment-The proposed Senate Bill No. 12 adheres as closely as possible to the Federal Income Tax law, in par ticular as regards the establishing of gross income and deductions all lowed. The personal exemption ere dits allowed are very nearly equal to $1000 each for the taxpayer a spouse and for dependents.

Senator Coffey--Do other State income tax laws have this provis- ion?
 Prof. Harsch-T believe no States require estimated tax returns, at the present time.
 Then, the Committee arose, on motion by Senator Lyng.
 Once again out of Committee of the Whole, the Senate adjourned until l o'clock this afternoon: fol- lowing the announcement of a meet ing of the Finance Committee, set for 10 o'clock this morning.
 It had previously been expressed by President Coffey, that no business would be permitted to be concluded in the Senate during the absence to Sitka of the four mem bers of the Institutions Committee.
