This wcule, il effect, by reason of the excess of members in the House, place all appointments un- der the control cf the House alone.
 We, therefore, recommend that the appointments above referred to be passed upon by the Senate sitting alone and as an entity, and that the same procedure or such other procedure as they may adopt be followed in the House.
 With the report before them. the Senators voted-with the exception of Frank Gordon and Steve Mo Cutcheon, with Howard Lyng being atsent-to follow the Committed s recommendation.

 Adjournment
 To Cool of
Strong Arm Used in Re- writing House Income
 Tax Into Sales Levy

Sudden Senate adjournment Sat urday afternoon staved off what appeared a sure course to an open break between the two branches or the Alaska Legislature-two houses already poles apart over the ques- ton of what type of tax will pay for benefits to Alaska's World War II Veterans.
 The Senate majority bloc launch- ed on a course to rewrite the Pe- terscn-G Gill gross income tax mea- sure which passed the House as HB. 26 into a duplicate of the sales tax provisions which the Sen- ate had sent to the House as a part of the Vets bill and which the lower chamber had stricken.
 The bill had been half-amended into an absolute kick-in-the face from the House point of view when the Senate adjourned.
 Twice motions intended to de- fer action on HE. 26 until the full report of the conference group had been made, report held up by lack of time for preparation. The first of those motions resulted in a Gall of the Senate" which brought Senator Howard Lyng to vote on the losing side. However, Senior Republican Senator Andrew Nerland in an appeal for inter- Lyng was able strongly to second house understanding.
 Divergent opinions came froL, members of the Senate's conference delegation. Senator Allen Shattuck stated that the lengthy joint meet ings had brought agreement on practically no major differences. Senator Nerland said that is not so-that there are few things on which the conference had disagreed as far as it had gone.
 After move by Frank Gordon to secure a recess until the con- ference report had been received failed by the usual 9 to ' margin, that Fairbanks Senator stirred tempers into real flare-up by prodding sleeping dogs" He was ruled off the floor before violence occurred.
 Then Nome Senator Frank Whal- ey, chairman of the conference group from the Senate, moved ad- journment until 10 o'clock this morning.

S0L0NS REFUSE TO CONFIRM IN
 JOINT SESSION
Judiciary Report Affirms Upper BodY's Right 10
 Lone Ranger Role

The Senate's Judiciary Commit tae Saturday afternoon laid out a course that the upper branch of the Alaska Legislature has adopted lew in acting upon confirmation CT rejection of appointments made by Governor Gruening.
 That course was to take the Sen ate into 6 vote today on confirma- tion of six nominations submitted to the Legislature by the Governor "a vote separate and distinct from any House action.
 Referring to the nominations be- fore the body, the Judiciary report submitted by Chairman o. D. Coch- ran after consultation, he said, with several attorneys, states in the pertinent portion of it's text ::
 ''You have submitted to this Committee the letters before re- ferred to and making the above stated appointments, for advice as to whether or not in passing upon such ppointments, the Senate and the House should act jointly or separately.
 ~The Territorial Legislature is the creature of Congress and was established by the Organic Act.
 That Act provides that the leg islative power and authority shall be. vested in legislature consist ing of a Senate and a House of Representative. It further pro- vides that each body shall deter mine the rules of its own proceed ings not inconsistent with the Or ganic Act
 *Each house is a separate entity and in the absence of a special or general rule adopted by each body sitting separately and pro- viding for a joint session or joint assembly, such joint session or as- sembly has no official entity what ever
 Neither house can be required by the other to enact a rule pro- viding for joint assembly, or to attend a joint assembly in the ab- sence of such rule.
 Tn the absence of such a joint rule either house is at liberty tC act on the confirmation of execu- tie appointments separately unless required to meet and act jointly by some specific provision of Ter ritorial law.
 There being no law of the Ter, ritory of Alaska requiring the two bodies of the Legislature to mee jointly to pass upon appointment made by the Governor and in tht absence of any joint rule of tn, two houses of the Legislature re quiring a joint session for sucl purpose, it follows as Of course tha such appointments should be acte' upon by each House sitting alon and as an entity.
 --The House. being composed o twenty-four members and the Sen ate of sixteen members, it will b seen that an appointment confirm ed by the unanimous will of tn Senate could be rejected by tn vote of the House in joipt session

Kodiok Diary
(continued from page p

Our pam is aching again.
 This time it's the fault of the L s Starrett Company of Athol, Mass, who recently received a check from the Kodiak Electric l Association. The company im- mediateIy wrote back as follows: Gentlemen:
 Your check No. 1893 dated Aug. 7 in the amount of $4.43 has been received and for which we thank you.
 However, we are returning your check as our terms specify that remittance should be made in U s funds to cover our in- voices. We trust, therefore, that you will kindly send us the cor rected check to replace the en- closed remittance.
 Disquote. And attached to the letter was the check in question, drawn on the Bank of Kodiak. O A Torgerson, president of the bank, gets so burned up ev- cry time similar imputations are made that places his institution in a foreign category with foreign funds Gust what kind of foreign funds do they think we use in Alaska-kopecks?) that we are glad he is away on his vacation so he won't see this. Other wise we can see him flashing into the vault just to reassure himself that the money says U s some : place on it.
 Do you suppose the L s Star rett company in their ignorance sent the check back without even checking with a bank to see if it was any good? We have to as- sume so, since there were no de- posit marks of any kind on the back.
 We can think of a good way to 1 get even. The check was for some kind of a tool, and if it ] were us (and we didn't need it too badly) we would mail it back, with little explanation that we were not allowed to ae, cept tools of foreign manufact ure.

She was a broken valentine witt
auburn hair and she spent her
vacation from Washington's De
partment Of Agriculture doing a
red herring act across the Cape
Fear river from Smith Island.
Her name was Belle Iverney.
Her fiance had been logged with
a firehoze nozzle in the basement
of the Library of Congress. Her
presence on the Cape Fear was
part Of a scheme laid in the cap
itol by a brace of homicide hunt
ers.
Grubbing for Gold
Peter Shane, professor Of crimi-
nology, and Police Chief Orson
Mccullough sent Belle south and
noised it about that she was grub
bling for freebooter Stede Bonnet's
buried NICOLA. They had hopes
that one of tehir covey Of muir
der suspects would leave town and
try ~hi-jacking the old gold.
All eligible fire-hosers disap-
peared at the same time SO the

serve their comely herring.

Prospects for ending the IL
day strike of merchant marine
officers frightened somewhat
today after the CIO Marine En-
gineers, one of two unions in
volved, eased its terms for set
tling the dispute with East Coast
and Gulf shipowners.
There were indications that nego-
tiations with shipowners would be
resumed. Settlement talks were
broken off Thursday by the COM
panies. They held further talks
were useless so long as the CIO
held the position that the strike
would continue on all coasts until
terms of an Eastern agreement were
applied to Government owned ships
on the West Coast.
The Strike Committee of the

alton met in a closed session in New
York today. A spokesman for the
committee refused to disclose the
purpose of the session but indicated
a statement would be issued when it
ended.

Two MeatIess Days Weekly
Proposed by Stassen
By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. IL. - The
institution of two meatless days a
week in all public eating places is
recommended by former Gov. Har-
old E. Stassen of Minnesota as a
method of relieving the meat short
age.
Speaking before the Union League
Club here last night, Mr.. Stassen
said the shortage could be broken
and meat brought to market at
OPA prices within four months ii
five steps he proposed were followed.
In addition to the meatless days,
Mr.. Stassen advocated:
l. Removal of all controls, cell
ings, subsidies and restrictions from
meat.
2. Enlistment of voluntary CO.
operation of the people as whole
in observing the same two meatless
days each week.
8. No meat, except fish or fowl, at
banquets of more than as plates.
4. A provision against boarding Of
meat, prohibiting more than q 30
day supply by any user.
