GOVERNOR ADDRESSES LEGISLATURE
MITCHELL SEEKS
 FUNDS TO KEEP
 FISH LAB0RAORY

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Sen- ator Mitchell (D-Wash) announc- ed today he would ask the Sem ate for funds to keep the Wash ington Fishery Pathological Lab oratory, operated by the Fish and Wildlife Service at Seattle, in full operation for the 1947 fiscal year starting next July 1.
 Mitchell said it would require only. $29,200 to continue the work of Investigating the extraction of vitarnin A oils from fish livers.
 A Statement from Ira N Gabriel son, director of the Fish and Wild life Service said the industry pro- ducing natural vitamin A from fish livers was centered around Seattle and had grown to business that produced $15,000,000 to $20.0O0, 900 of the product yearly.
 Gabrielson said that available information indicated fish common to the West Coast contain flyers from which a higher vitamin A oil can be extracted than those from any other area.
 A fund which Congress provided for research in production of the vitamin from fish livers will be exhausted June 30, Mitchell said.
 The Otter Trawlers Union of Seattle had written Mitchell urg- ing that funds be made available to keep the laboratory operating declaring it would afford employ ment for fishermen. Gabrielson said the fish livers sold for as much as SIP a pound.

The Washington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

ii WASHINGTON = If there were more men like housing expediter Wilson Wyatt around, President Truman would have easier sailing. The other day in Chicago, Wyatt was guest speaker at 8 banquet of the National Association of Home Builders, 3,200 strong, all hostile, all prepared to boo at the man who proposed revolutionary building re- forms in order to complete 100000 homes in two years.
 AS Wyatt arose, the atmosphere was charged with hostility. How ever, he told stories, explained his program, made no antagonistiq statements.
 If you gentlemen are against this program, then you don't under stand it," Wyatt said. Its my fault for not making it clear"
 After 45 minutes, having won over a considerable part of the audience, he stopped. Then for 45 minutes more he answered ques- tions. Every inch of the way he fought for his program of low cost housing for veterans.
 Finally, when he finished, every builder in the huge dining room rose to his feet and cheered.
 Prior to Wyatt's speech, the Ma tional Association of Home Build CTS had adopted a resolution op- posing premium payments of $600.- 100000 to spur housing. Wyatt pro-

The defense today attempted to show that Clarence Campbell had been alive subsequent to 2 o'clock the night of December g, 1945 as the trial of George Harrison Meeks in the murder case of Campbell wound towards a conclusion.
 Again the defense concentrated it's attack on the governments ex- hibits of blood stained clothing found in Meeks room several days after the murder is alleged. On an offer of proof by defense counsel, testimony of John Ritter was ad- mitted in which Ritter testified that Meeks had been in fight at Gulkana last summer and that blood had been shed.
 Under cross examination Ritter could not recall the clothes worn by Meeks at the time. The prosecu- tion then moved that his testimony be stricken as irrelevant on ground that the defense had not success fully established that Meeks wore the same clothes at Gulkana as were on exhibit in the Campbell case.
 New Witnesses
 Renewing its attack on the cred ability of Kelso Hartness the de- fense then summoned Hilda Rond- quist, a maid at the Gastineau Hotel. She testified that on Jan. 8 she heard a humping noise in a room occupied by Hardness, had called to him and received no an- swer and that he later appeared covered with blood.
 Earlier the defense had summon ed Helen Jackson who said that she had been with Campbell on the evening of December until about 2 o'clock Under cross exam ination she admitted that she was not certain of the time when she left Campbell.
 Defense returned to the question of blood stains and attempted to bring into evidence reports from the Washington laboratories on stains found on Meeks' clothing. On subjects from the prosecution the move was defeated as being "hearsay" evidence.

 Before overflow galleries in the Chamber of the House of Repre- sentatives this forenoon, Ernest Gruening, Governor of Alaska. ad- dressed the joint membership of the two houses of the Alaska Leg islature, delivering his formal Mes sage for the audience of the legis- lature.
 The Governor delivered his ap- prcximately 3,000-word message iil his usual straight-forward undra- matic manner. His address was completed in 26 minutes. The Mes sage, less lengthy than is custom ary, also went straight to the pur- pose for which the current special session of the Legislature is called and was well received by both law makers and spectators. Post-Mes- sage comments were mainly con- cerned with the Governors surprise recommendation that the Territory be bonded as the way to finance proposed programs.
 Both Houses met at II o'clock this morning to open the days business, the Senate recessing to the House Chamber approximately IS minutes later, when Senate Pres ident Edward D. Coffey took over the chair for the Joint Session from Speaker Jesse D.

GoyERNoR,s MESSAGE

tNote-Because of space and time limitations, portions of the Mes sage deemed editorially to be mere ly explanatory or cumulative have been deleted from the text as print ed)
 The sudden and unexpected early ending of the war, less than five months after the adjournment of the l7th Territorial Assembly, has made the calling of this special ses- sion both desirable and necessary. The nation in general and Alaska no less in particular, are confront ed with pressing problems which require attention. Tn the case of Alaska, the solution of some of these problems could not wisely be delayed until the regular session of 1947. The call for this special session was issued both in response to pub lie demand, demand chiefly re- ldLulS IO tuDtltuAOoios aAi0 btShh ital also seemed to me necessary, both on account of the tuberculosis emergency and because of the need for action in behalf of our veter- ans.
 So in the call, those two main subjects were emphasized for your consideration: Tuberculosis and Veterans Legislation. and also a revision of our highway traffic laws.
 Health Legislation and Appropriations
 It is. pretty well known to all of us how serious is our tuberculosis situation in the Territory. The incidence of tuberculosis in Alaska Is approximately eight times great

TELEPHONE RIKE IS
 WARDED
Attention Is Now Turned 10 Threatened WdIkOut of
 Railroad Workers
tBY JOHN M. H1GHrowER)

| A threatened nationwide walkout of some 250,o0O telephone workers over a wage dispute was averted to- day, half hour before the 8. m. strike deadline.
 i White House Press Secretary Charles G. Ross said President Tru- man would name an emergency board "very soon" in a move to head off coaSt-to-coast railroad tieup set for Honday Alvanley Johnston, head of the Engineers Union, said yesterday the Brother hoods would consider" any action by the government because we have always bowed in respect to the power of the government" l After an early morning poll of union members on a settlement of | fer from the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, the exc cutive board of tEe National Fed eration of Telephone Workers in | Washington ordered cancellation of the threatened work stoppage.
 AS Edgar L. Warren, chief of the Federal conciliation service, an- nounced that an agreement had been reached between the Fedora i ton of Long Lines telephone work CTS, NFTW affiliate, and the A. T. & T.. picket lines already had been established before exchanges in some cities. In Washington, Philadel- phia, Baltimore and three other Maryland towns the strike was re- ported on, but most service in Phil adelphia was reported normal.
 Get Wage Increase
 Joseph A. Beirne, NFvTW Presi- dent, in telegram to member un- ions, said affiliates which had wage disputes with the A. T. & T. were 'in general, in agreement with the settlement"
 The agreement with the Long Lines provides for a wage increase averaging 176 cents an hour, War ren said. The NF'TW had called ] the strike in support of demands flor pay boosts of IS 1-2 cents an hour by IT of the Federation's 51 affiliated unions.
 A walkout of the telephone work CTS had threatened to disrupt ser vice throughout the country, with ilopg distance and non-dial service hit first. Union officials had said eventually all service would be affected by equipment failure due i to lack of maintenance. This would have silenced radio networks i and halted transmission of news over A. T. & T. wires.
 R. E. Strike Called
 With the telephone dispute set- tied. the government was expected to intervent to delay the threaten ed nationwide strike of railroad workers in two big brotherhoods, scheduled for 6 a. m. Monday. 1 Nearly 100000 members of the Brotherhoods of Railroad Trainmen and Locomotive Engineers have been ordered to quit work starting Mon- day through Thursday. Presidents of the two rail unions did not pre- dict whether Presidential appoint ment of an emergency board to con- sider the wage dispute would post pone the strike. The railway labor act provides such procedure, which would delay any strike from 30 to 60 days while the Board studies the strike dispute.
 t G-M still Deadlocked
 Negotiations in the General Motors strike remained deadlocked as the Detroit city council appeal ed to President Truman to inter- vene in an attempt to end the 107- day work stoppage.
