SENATE PASSES PORK MEASURE;
 HOUSE REFUSES
Two Revenue Bills Alp. proved by Upper Cham
 Der This Morning

By g to [ vote, the Alaska Sem ate this morning attempted to dole out pork" in it's purest form-but the attempt went for naught when the House, by a large margin, re- fused to accept Senate Bill 19, the measure in question.
 S.B. 19, allocated $50,000 for con- struction of airfields at Naknek and Dillingham;. The measure, crit icized as a special appropriation prohibited by the Organic Act, sur vived an attempt at indefinite post ponement while in Second Read ing Monday, and got past a tab ling effort when up for final pas sage today.
 The roll call on passage showed an unusual division of the upper body, with the two authors of the bill President Edward D. Coffey and Grenold Collins also Senator Joe Green, deserting the so-called majority bloc to team with the minority for passage.
 Voting for the bill were Brown ell Collins, Gordon, Green, Gunder- sen, Lyng, McCutcheon, Nerland and Coffey.
 With the porcine measure once dispatched the Senators gave speedy approval to four other acts this morning, two of them revenue raiSers:
 Passed with several amendments was H.B. 28, which sets flat license fees and stamp taxes on amuse- ment devices, pinball and slot ma- chimes. Changes written by the Senate are: Reduction of the li- cense fee per machine operated from $50 to $50 9th stamp tax on each pinball or slot machine re- mains at an additional s150); in- crease from five cents to 25 cents the largest coin allowed to be re- quired to operate; removal of the restriction not allowing operation within 100 yards of church tstill prohibited within that distance of schools increase from l8 years to 2l years the age for persons permitted to operate.
 The bill passed with only Sena- tors O. D. Cochran and Andrew Nerland voting against.
 H.B. 48, passed without amend ment, provides for collection of ex- else on liquor shipments consign- ed into the Territory and increases the whiskey levy from $l.60 to Sz per gallon Senator Cochran ten- tatively offered an amendment to up the whiskey tax to $3 but was swarmed under by objections. Five Senators voted against passage: :: Brownell, Collins, Gordon, Walker and Coffey-all five have previous ly opposed increases in the whiskey tax.
 Passed unanlmouSly ana WlCnout amendments were Senate Bill 30 and House Bill 2l. S.B. 30, by Mo- Cutcheon, is a rewrite of the 1945 session law requiring certificates of ownership of motor vehicles. The new measure clarifies provisions relating to conditional sales. HB. 31. consolidates tax collection in the Department of Taxation.
 The Senators took their last noon recess until 80 o'clock this after noon when they were to consider House Bill l, expected to be highly controversial H.B. l, liberalizes un- employment compensation benefits.

0en. 0rant SeeS Need Lane Would Eliminate
Othore Tourist Camps State Tax on Real and
AT City's Approaches Personal prouertv

Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III, chair
man of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, believes
Washington eventually will have
not one but several public tourist
camps.
He said in an interview with
The Star yesterday that he saw
an eventual need for additional
camps at the approaches to the
Capital to act as summer auxili-
aries to the all-year- round camp
which the National Park Service
proposes to build in East Potomac
Park and which the District Recre-
alton Board and District Commits
sioners want located elsewhere to
protect existing recreation space
in the park.
Gen. Grant refused ITO specify
what sites on the approaches to
the city he deemed suitable for
additional camps, but he indicated
that first priority probably should
be given to the area where United
States Route No. and the proposed
Baltimore Washington Parkway en-
ter the city-the Bladensburg-Ken-
llWorth-Benning area. Number 2
priority probably would go, he said.
to the southern approach to the
city and be hooked up in some way
with the new South Capitol Street
Bridge and the Southern MARYLAND
leg of the proposed George Wash
ington Memorial Parkway.
Northwest Proposal Studied.
The Northwestern approach to
the city would need some attention
too, he thought.
Construction of auxiliary summer
camps elsewhere would limit the
growth of the East Potomac Camp
to the size proposed by the National
Park Service. This would make it
about twice the size of the present
camp.
He said he still believes the East
Potomac Park site is the best for
new tourist camp and that he hoped
a survey of alternate sites, which
his commission announced it would
sponsor at its last meeting March
%, would seek to find "one or two
other sites for new tourist camps
on other main highways into the
District"
This will not be the aim of the
Recreation Board and District Com
missioners, who will take part in
the study. They seek an alternate
site for the present East Potomac
Park camp. Not only have both
stated publicly they oppose the
present site. but they have gone
before the House appropriations
subcommittee considering the IN
terror Department Appropriation
Bill to ask that it specify 5000 900

be spent on East Potomac Park.

there when Col. Hamilton arrived
The Germans also had assembled
their finest horsemen at Altefeld
and because of a common interest
the personnel co-operated with the
Americans. The farm had been
captured without action by the
American 3rd Army.
Before leaving, Col. Hamilton as
signed junior officer to Altefeld to
1amlllarize himself with the ami
malS and the personnel there. Sub
Sequently it was determined which
animals were of German origin and
had been foaled in Germany. and
those were selected from others
which were to be returned to the
proper Allied countries from which
they had been removed.
$50 Horses Shipped.
Necessary pedigree papers were
prepared and the animals were care
fully identified and taken to a ship
at Bremerhaven for the voyage to
America. A total of $50 horses was
shipped, including IS thorough
breds. The voyage necessarily was
hard on the horses and they have
since been cared for at the Front
Royal depot until the public could
be given chance to see them.
To be shown are l8 Arabs, l6
grade Arabs, Lippizaners, 81 half
oreds and 63 thoroughbreds
The Lippizaners, from the Spanish
Riding School in Vienna, are foaled
black and turn white during the first
year. Others include Trakehners. a
special breed of officers chargers
from East Prussia and representing
the Hungarian Military Stud at
khlsber, and the thoroughbreds
from the Altefeld Stud in which the
Germans concentrated the best rae
ing stock of the continent.
Also at the Remount's barn at
Front Royal are the stations Nord-
icht, by Oleander out of Nereide
and Tagfalter, by Brantome out of
Take 1t Easy. Both Nordlicht and
his dam won the German Derby.
Also there are Tai Akbar. by Fair
way out OF Tai Shiran by Gainsbor-
ough, second to Mahmoud in the
Engllsh Derby, and two brown q
year-oldS by Pharis.
