upon the Roman Catholic Church and reading of it was followed, also at Walkers request, by a reply to the editorial written by the Catho- lie clergyman at Ketchikan.
 Walker asked the inclusion of roth newspaper articles in the Sem ate Journal, but withdrew his re- quest when opposition was voiced by Senators Frank Gordon, o. D. Cochran, Don Carlos Brownell and i Andrew Nerland Cochran summed up the opposition in describing the articles as foreign matter
 Walker thereupon rose to state that he had asked their inclusion in the Journal as pointing out the "creditability of the witness"
 Tirade Launched
 The Ketchikan Senator then launched his tirade against the Ketchikan publisher-whom he des- cribed as the worst citizen in a responsible position we've ever had" and a "detriment to the commun- ity" by stating that he fears no political repercussions in his home city because. as far as Ketchikan is concerned, Bakers support lis the Kiss of Death"
 Walker continued: Pointing out that Baker is comparative new conner to Alaska, tEe Senator declar- ed that the publisher Knows noth- ing of the problems of Alaska. :" Baker, he averred, is the only one" of Ketchikan's prominent citizens who was probably a slacker' Walk CT then charged that Baker avoid ed military service" by every means he could. That, he concluded, is the kind of witness the Senate heard testify against the veterans bill.
 Milllaney Questioned
 The questioning of Mullaney, which had been made special or der of business for Saturday after noon. was brief and gentle Asked by Walker what his qualifications are, the nominee for the respon- sible Tax Commissioners job read off lengthy list of accounting duties performed during 25 years experience as an accountant; 10 years of which were spent in Ger tified Public Accountants office and years in Federal government agencies.
 Apparently the solons were satis- fled. The only questions addressed to Mullaney that had any barb at all were one from Senator Allen Shattuck. asking if the law specify ing calling for bids on supplies had been needed since Mullaney took oyer the Taxation office, and an- other from Senator Joe Green, ask ing if Mullaney had any experience in actual tax collection. The wit ness reply to Shattuck was affirm atiye, to Green, negative.
 The indefinite postponement recommendation on the Houses veterans aid bill was one of five committee reports received by the Senate before adjournment Satur- day No explanation accompanied the report on House Bill A. but members of the committee privately stated they considered the bill un- workable because of the $3,500 900 appropriation which exceeds the re-. sources of the Treasury, and be- cause, with one bill well on the way through the legislative mills, en- action will Le expedited by clearing the air of the duplicating measure. dB.
