enormous easter eggs from be-
hind which girls in springtime
frocks emerged to the tune of
Welcome Sweet Springtime,
while small Diane Cole danced
a tap number.
A feature of the presentation
was called Around the Clock,
and gave chance fer the model
ing jof clothes from 8 a. m. to
the evening hour and formals.
The opening scene depicted a
mother and her children in night
gowns and negligees; eight o.
clock showed them in house dress
es ana pinafores. At IL o'clock
the older girls were preparing
for a bridge party, at five for
cocktails, and at eight for a dance.
Another striking scene was
Blue Hawaii'' when girls modei-
ed formals under a lighting epf
blue, as they waltzed to the mut
sue of tine song.
The scene, THE Wardrobe
Trunk showed girls modelling
every variety of clothes needed

Fesr House Committee May
Block Minimum Wage Bill
Special to Central press

Special to Central Press
Washington.--The Truman adj
ministratlon is worried and work
ing hard to save its minimum
wage bill from being scuttled in
Congress. Postmaster General
Robert Hannegan, Democratic
national chairman, has stepped in
to try to straighten things out.
Hanpegan made a personal trip
to Capitol Hill on the tough as
signment.
Supporters anticipate that the
Senate will pass a bill boosting
the present Accent hourly mini
mum wage and that similar legis-
lation will get by the House labor
committee. But thev fear that the
House rules committee will block
consideration of either bill.
In 1898 the rules committee re-
fused to permit a House vote on
the fair labor standards bill, es-
tablishing a minimum wage of 40
cents an hour for interstate COM
merce. Supporters forced action,
however, via the petition route.
There appeared grave doubt
whether sufficient signatures
218, a House majority, are needed
-could be obtained in time to per-
NIT enactment of the legislation
before Congress cesse or adj
journs for the summer.

Lines Ask Many Dead In
 lOO% Rate Increase Burlington Wreck

WASHINGTON, April 26, (P)- Efforts to avert an Alaska ship ping crisis were announced by Rep. Jackson, member of the House merchant marine commit tee, who said he had been notified the War Shipping Administration would discontinue operating the Alaska shipping service after next January first.
 He said during the war the ad- ministration had lost ten million dollars annually in the operation of the lines and said that private lines contend that when they take over operation of the service they will require a one hundred per cent increase in rates to meet the cost.
 Rep. Jackson conferred yester- day with Secretary Krug and asked that he join the maritime commission in a complete survey of the situation. He said the sub committee of which he is chair man would hold hearings during the summer in Seattle and Juneau and said the committee would try to decide whether government op- eration of subsidy or increase in rates were advisable.

Fire Razes Three Buildings In Fairbanks

FAIRBANKS, April 26, LP)- Three tWo-stOry buildings are a mass of Wreckage today, but the hundred room Pioneer Hotel was unscathed after a fire ragged thru half a block of close packed wood en structures yesterday.
 Bremen, using twenty hose lines, fought the fire for seven hours before the danger was pass ed. The businesses destroyed were the 4l-room Northern Hotel and Coffee Shop owned by Margaret Berge who is rushing back from Texas. The Pioneer Grill, owned by Don Cook, who lost all his per sonal belongings in the apartment overhead, the Star Liquor Store, Allies Room and liquor store, owned by Don Hammond. The to- tai damage is estimated by real estate men in excess of S300,00O
 There was little salvage, as the thick smoke issuing from connect ed basements prevented the re- moval of stocks and fixtures. About one hundred persons are forced to seek new living quarters and about fifty employees are out of jobs.
 The origin of the fire is still un- known. Insurance is about half the value of the buildings.
