PETERSBURG HOSPITAL E
 GIVEN 0KEH
House Puts Four Bills Over Hurdle fo Senate
 Chambers

Funds for Petersburg hospital were provided by the House of Rep resentatives yesterday afternoon as that body passed four measures on the calendar, killed another and brought back still another from the edge of the grave.
 Passed was House Bill 54, by Rep- resentative Fred Hanford to provide funds for a Petersburg hospital. The measure had a negative committee report, nine to one against giving the Wrangell Narrows metropolis S55, 900 for hospital.
 However, when the appropriation was cut in half and the proviso put in that Petersburg itself must put up half of the money, legislators unbent and showed it through third and ultimate passage.
 Also passed was House Bill No. 64 by Peterson and Gill appropriating $13 3,2920 02 for a deficiency in the school tuition fund, and House Bill No 63, appropriating travel expenses for the Dental Board.
 Representative Steve Vukovich's House Bill No 72, providing that veterans of wars will not be charged by the auditors office for necessary vital statistics records they might need, was also passed.
 Killed was House Bill No. 58, which would have directed the At terney General to enforce the traf- fic code, weights and measures, tax and license laws, and provide an ap- of s75.000. The measure was killed by pre-mediated indefin- ite pcstponement with the authors

themselves voting affirmative.
 The bill that floated temporarily on the River Styx but drifted back to the earthly shore was House Bill No. 57, Taylors pinball and slot machine licensing measure.
 The bill came cut with adverse committee report and fuss immed- lately arose as to whether or not the Territory wanted to legalize gamb- ling. and indefinite postpcnement was moved.
 Just this side of a vote, author Taylor convinced his fellow House members that the bill only amended a 1941 pinball machine law to make mere revenue possible, and with new light of favor shining on it the bill went into third reading for what will undoubtedly be favorable vote.
 The bill would change the present 12l2 per cent gross tax collection system on pinball machines and charge straight sticker licenses and provide graduated scales for num- bers of machines owned It was as- serted by Taylor that where we got back S55,0 ,000 in the past two years and nine months" under the old system, wed get something like enc hundred to $l250o0 under this new system"

FOR CHATS TO-DAY WITH
 REPORTERS
Discusses Treaties and De. (Iares Jesse Jones Is
 Out for Good

WASHINGTON, March 3-Presi- dent Roosevelt today took his first conference with the newsmen through chatty discussion of do- mestic and international problems piled on his desk, whipping back and forth from one subject to the next.
 The President made it clear that former Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones is out so far as major ad- ministration job is concerned.
 Roosevelt said treaties implement ing Allied plans at the wars end would be dropping into the. Senate like clockwork from now on.
 Turning aside the question of what former Democratic National Committee Chairman Flynn was do- ing in Russia for the Administra- tion, he left unanswered reports that Flynn sought better relations be- tween the Kremlin and the Vatican.
 President Roosevelt dismissed the subject of Jesse Jones. whoswas fir ed weeks ago and replaced by Henry Wallace, by telling reporters the Texans official status is now that of Ex-Secretary of Commerce, and that he would not head Government Lending Agencies pending appoint ment of his S1lccPSsor
 Elaborating on the discussion of German reparations before Congress yesterday, the President said inter national treaties would be going to the Senate regularly now to imple- ment what he termed small details of the war and peace plans.
 He dismissed as an "iffy' ques- ton whether a treaty would be needed to seize German territory for reconstructed Poland When report CTS continued to elaborate on treaty questions, he said he would like to win the war first.

SENATEBARS
 ITS PORTALS.
Executive Session Called This Morning On
 Who knowsWhaf!

Senatorial minds apparently were burdened this morning with trials too soul wracking for public scrutiny.
 Immediately after completing the reading of the Journal for the pre- ceding day, members of the Terri torial Senate barricaded the doors and set the Sergeant-at- at-Arms on patrol outside to keep away all on- lookers-including representatives of the press-while they went into an Executive Session." for the better part of an hour.
 What went on behind those locked portals is a closely-guarded secret of state-better left unre- vealed to their constituents.
 Following their executive session, the Senators took one swift crack at the.r calendar, voting down, six yeas to 10 nays. Senate Bill No. B. which was on the slate for third reading. The measure, Senator N. R. Walkers bill for a survey for an Extension of the University of Alaska in Southeast Alaska, failed to win backing even from those Senators who also sit on the Board of Regents of the university. Sen ator O. D. Cochran, in fact, op- posed the bill.
 The Senate Rules Committee brought in it's verdict on the status of Senator Joe Greens Motor ve- hicle Code Act, received under ad- visement by the Senate when it was entered by title only, just be- fore the deadline on new bills yes- terday.
 The Committee ruled that bills could not be introduced in the Senate except in full, unless under suspended rules. The Green bill was accepted today. however, by unani- nous consent of the solons. It vii not be referred to committee unti the complete measure is before thu body.
 l With the approach of the noor hour, Senator Cochran put in !; i plea on behalf of his Loaded Judiciary Committee. We need thi Saturday afternoon for work, h, said. Following announcements o committee meetings, the Senate ad journed until 10 o'clock Monda. morning. One committee will mee on Monday, the Finance group be ing called for g o'clock Monda, morning.

tees to serve with the Governor
 on the Board of Trustees of the
 Alaska Pioneers Home An amend ment was proposed by the Com
 mittee on Territorial Institutions, and adopted by the Senate, to specify the terms of the two trus- tees at four years.
 Senator N. R. Walker baked at a provision in the bill to decrease the salary of the Secretary of the Board of Trustees from S75 to $50 per month. He proposed an amend ment to restore the salary to S75, but the amendment failed when Senator Shattuck revealed that the secretary has not been paid more than $50 since the Department of Public Welfare took over a large share of his duties.
 Senator Walker, who has lately been running a close race with Senator Rogge for the title of The Great Dissenter," was among the majority opposing a motion to suspend the rules and advance the bill for passage. No discussion pre- ceded the vote, by which the Sen ate approved the bill.
 Next on the calendar was Sen- ator Cochrans measure to repeal the bounty on eagles-a perennial proposal. Senate Bill No. 40 was advanced and given rapid passage, after the emergency clause had been stricken in second reading. Voting against passage of the bill were Senators Edward D. \ Coffey and H. H. McCutcheon. There was no discussion on the measure.
 The Judiciary Committee turned in Senate Substitute for House Bill No. 36. It was adopted, and, without amendment, was moved to final passage, when it was given approval. House Bill No. 36, by Representative Maurice T. Johnson, is another of that legis- lator'S minor legal measures. Advo- cated by Judge Harry E. Pratt, of the Fourth Judicial Division U. s. District Court, it bears the endorse ment of several of the Territorys Bar Associations. The bill had been held in second reading for several days by the Senate, because it had not been received from the House in correct form The substitute passed by the Senate merely cor rected the faults of form in the original bill.

EXEMPTIONS
 VOTED FOR
 FISH, FARM
Property Tax Bill Has New Teeth Pulled by House
 Amendments

Fishermen and farmers got a joint git from the House of Rep resentatives this morning when that body amended the Property Tax Bill to exclude S5,000 worth of the earning implements of those fields of endeavor from taxation.
 Fishing vessels worth less than S5,000 got the first exemption through an amendment submitted by Representative Andrew Hope, Sitka native fisherman. The amend ment, adopted 18 to 6, would ex- empt fishermen who are heads of families from paying taxes on ves- sels worth less than the S5,00O figure.
 Hope declared that the measure was not so much a revenue raising bill as it was setting up of a tax system. He stated that if un- amended, the bills tax burden on fishing boats would fall entirely on the little fellow" and the can neries with very few exceptions, who own fleets of tenders and other vessels worth as much as S30000 apiece, would be exempt from taxation under the bill be- cause of the deductions for case taxes"
 Representative Peterson got through an amendment to ''help the farmer" by excluding S5,OOo worth of farmers machinery. poultry and livestock.
 In the course of argument over the m c n d m t, Representative Harry Badger, Fairbanks pioneer farmer, declared his opposition to feterson's amendment on the grounds that his farmer consti- tuents felt they should pay their share Of taxes"

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Criti- eism has been growing here fol months against the allegedly ''in- discriminate handing out of wal medals. but as far as I know noth- ing had really been done about it until Rep. Marion T. Bennett tR- Mo) introduced bill in the house to tighten contiderably the circum- stances under which the Purple Heart can be granted
 Congressman Bennett argues that this oldest military award in the United States has sunk to such low estate that it has been distributed with reckless abandon to dogs and blues singers"
 The history of the Purple Heart award is interesting. There's no doubt about it's being the oldest mill itary award in this country. Ac- oording to Bennett, it's the second eldest military medal in world his tcry, August 2, 1782, Gen. George Washington established the Mill tary Order of the Purple Heart for unusual gallantry and singularly meritorious acts of extraordinary fidelity and essential service"
 For many years it disappeared. But it was revived in World War I for men who had been wounded in ac tion in performance of duty against the enemy. Up to Pearl Harbor, the.e had been approximately 10000 Purple Hearts awarded in 160 years Bennett says that before we are through with this war, there will be at least 100000 such awards to wounded soldiers, sailors, marines and coast guard men.
 Bennett argues it is an insult to these men who merit the award to give it to war correspondents and Red Cross people also serving in the

nearly made it pay and if the bounty is raised only little such a ven- ture could be profitable enough to attract many new hunters.
 Senator Whaley declared that bounty payments to native hunters will not secure the desired results Native hunters, he said, will often not touch wolf dens until the cubs have been whelped, then they will generally not bother the full-grown animals, instead they will kill the subs and collect bounty on then, leaving the mother to raise other lit ters.
 Senator Joe Green declared he even knew of an instance where a she wolf had been kept in pen to raise cubs for the bounty.

WOLF BOUNTY BILL SHELv WE'D BY SENATOR'S
Former Game Commission Senator Leads Attack
 on House Measure

There ought to be bounty on Senators" was the cry that went up in the lower chamber of the Alaska Legislature yesterday afternoon when House members heard that the Senate had indefinitely postpon- ed House Bill No. 40, increasing bounties on wolves and coyotes.
 The death blow to the House mea- sure was landed by former Alaska Game Commission Agent, Senator Grenold Collins. His motion to indefinitely postpone was carried by 10 to vote after considerable dis cussion. The measure would have raised bounty payments by the Territory from $20 to $50 on wolves and from $l750 to S25 on coyotes. l | Senator Collins opened his attack by expressing doubt that more than doubling the wolf bounty would re- suit in comparative increase in the number of wolves killed.
 1 He went on to declare that the National Parks, in which the preda- l tory animals are protected, are the 1 greatest source of recent increase ! in wolf packs = that it is of no use for the Territory to spend large sums to combat the wolves as long as the Federal Government offers them. protection and breeding areas in Parks.
 Senator Collins said he hoped that refusal by the Territory to carry the entire burden would eventually force National agencies to some action against their own wolves. Let the Federal Government match the money the Territory has spent, he declared. The Game Commission does not even use it's own planes to hunt wolves.
 Senator o. D. Cochran followed iup Senator Collins arguments by re- letting past history The Game Com
 mission has always urged that the Territory spend more and more money to kill off wolves, he contend ed, and Alaska has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight them yet, during all that period,
 the Government of the United States
 has maintained ''incubators" to raise wolves for the Territory to pay to

 Senator Frank Whaley offered

 ty might prove effective. He ad-
 vised 50 per cent increase, to $50. He recited illustrations to show that 1t is not now commercial iy profitable to hunt wolves by air. plane, the method he believes is most effective. However, Senator

war theatre and injured by enemy action"
 There are quite few folks or Capitol Hill, in the War Depart ment and among the service person mel who agreed with Bennett in principle. But I have talked to sev- eral Of Congressman Bennett's col leagues who just grin and whisper off the record that they think the young man from Missouri has es- poused a cause that may turn out to be a hot potato
 For example, Bennett's "blues sing er," according to his own statement, is Jane Froman She was seriously injured when a civilian plane crashed taking her and others to fronts where she was to entertain weary service men.
 It probably was stretching the rules and regulations some when Jane was given the Purple Heart, but objecting to it probably won t make any friends in the entertain ment industry, or even among Mis- sourians, because Missouri is where Jane was born and reared.
 Bennett also wants to know why, if you can give one of the dogs of war Purple Heart, you couldn't also include Missouri mules and car rier pigeons. The congressman's s colleagues cn both sides of the aisle think maybe he's got something there, but ss long as they number hundreds of pet lovers among their constituents, they aren't going to argue it on the floor or anywhere else that their debates can get into tte record.
 Don't make any mistake about this though. I've talked to lot of men in the service who earned their citations the hard way and would be happier of there were more Bennetts in Congress.
