 question came before that body
 First senate decided to postpone action on the Walker bill for a week to await house action on the
 H f ord McCutcheon statehood memorial Then it reconsidered and began battle on whether the bill should be amended to include conditions under which statehood might be desired. Senator Shattuck attempted to amend bill to stipu- late conditions. Gordon and Walker led the fight, cOntending the meas ure was purely for the purpose of getting an expression of Alaskans on whether or not they wanted statehood, not terms under which it should be granted. This was a matter to come later when provi- sions of state are decided and not a matter for the territorial senate. they declared. Shattuck contended provisions should be set forth as under certain conditions We may not want statehood"

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

To able lobbyist W. c. Arnold of the canned salmon industry this week goes the leather medal for being just about the most potent force in the present legislature when it comes to a little matter of fish traps. There were 24 strikes on genial. clever Bill" as he stepped up 10 the rostrum of the senate
 The house had passed by that vote -24 to O-the PeratroYich bill calling for a referendum vote on whether to abolish fish traps over a fiYe-year period. For a solid hour Lobbyist Arnold rolled away from the tough questions; drove in the telling verbal blows where they did the most good. Rep. Frank Peratro- vich had preceded him on the stand with an excellent word picture of his reasons for the bill, and author Peratroyich was backed up with Fl house votes. But expert Arnold was. in fine form. Next day the senate defeated the fish trap referendum nine to seven, Butrovich, Cochran, Collins. Gundersen, Nerland, Rogge, Scott Shattuck and Whaley voting against. With some big league lob-I bying Arnold had nullified the vote of the solid house and seven votes in the senate. This may have been what some of the senators referred to when they got into discussion about democracy by representa- tion" and whether the Greeks had a name for it. The Greeks had.

OPA RULES AGAINST FORGING OF TENANTS
 TO BUY FURNITURE

The practice of requiring a ten ant to purchase furniture or other property as a condition to renting housing accommodations or rooms is prohibited by amendments to the rent regulations, issued January 10. These amendments prohibit the use of tie-in agreements as a means of evasion, and specifically forbid the requirement to purchase furniture.
 Necessity for prohibiting tie-in sales as conditional to renting came when reports showed that the prac- tics was becoming widespread throughout the country. Cases have been reported where tenants have been asked to pay anywhere from S65O to $25OO for furniture worth not half the asking price as a con- dition to renting a house or an apartment. The practice has already received much public attention on the west coast. In scattered cases throughout the country, OPA has succeeded in obtaining injunctions against landlords using this device to break rent ceilings.
