WOULD HAVE PERMIT BILL
 FOR LIQUOR
Walsh Measure Would Get 50 Purchase Li-
 cense on Books

A liquor permit system was pro- posed today in the House of Repre- sentatives by Nome legislator M. J. Walsh who introduced the bill under suspension of rules by request.
 Under the permit system as set forth in the Walsh bill, no liquor purchaser could buy liquor without a S2.5O permit.
 The measure bears the approval of the Nome Religious Council which wired that vote taken of 370 citi- zens there showed 18 votes for the permit system and 128 for municip- ally owned liquor stores.
 Senate Bill No. 2, by Cochran, was indefinitely postponed by the House. The measure would have qualified presidents of the Terri tory to act as executors of Alaskan estates.
 Senate Bill No. 13, by Cochran, fared better, permitting U. S. Com who are not members of the par to certl1y 10 aDStrGctS or title.
 Senate Joint Memorial No. 2, by Green, was also passed, asking Con- gress to seek negotiations of ar with Canada to permit the United States to acquire through purchase or lease the Canadian land through which the highway from Haines to the Interior runs.
 Also given approval by the House was another request that Congress investigate the land policies of Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes in Alaska. The bill, Senate Joint Memorial 1, was authored by Senator Collins.

RED GROSS
 FUND NOW
 AT $9,046
Two-thirds of Quota Sub- sUibed on Fifteenth
 Day of Drive Here

Reports this morning show that Juneau and Douglas solicitors have collected S9,046. .46, or two-thirds of the quota of $13,065 asked in the 1s45 Red Cross War Fund.
 This amount is still very low considering that the campaign is one-half over, said the Rev Robert Webb, Campaign Chairman, this morning.
 We are heartened by the fact that almost every solicitor said that his or her report is incomplete. AL though the drive will continue the rest of March, I hope that by the end of next week we will be able to say that it is over said the Chair man.
 At the Red Cross Luncheon on Friday, March 23, all solicitors will meet to give their probably final re- port and at that time the campaign should show final success.
 In the reports today, one large business district was still showing scattered returns and that should reap at least a fourth of the re- maining S4,00o still outstanding.

LONDON, March 15-A fleet of 1850 American bombers attacked the outskirts of Berlin, including the huge freight yards of Oranien- burg, following the first use there of the new 11-ton volcano bomb.
