STATEHOOD BILL SLATED
 F0R ACTION
Rep. Ange|I Plans Bill Recommending Terri
 toriaI Admittdnce

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5-Legisla- ton to provide Statehood for Alas ka and Hawaii will be pushed in the new Congress.
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska says he will introduce a bill to make Alaska a State. Rep. Angel (R- Ore), who will be one of the ranking Republicans on the new Public Lands Committee, said he believed both Alaska and Hawaii should be granted Statehood with out further delay"
 Angell was member of the Territories Subcommittee that vis- tied both Hawaii and Alaska Is months ago. It reported favorably on Statehood for Hawaii but held up its recommendations on Alaska until the Territory voted on the Statehood question.
 T believe it was the almost unanimous opinion of the Sub committee that Statehood would be granted to Hawaii and we felt that We should await the plebiscite in Alaska before we passed upon Statehood Tor that Territory" An gell said in a statement sent from his home.
 Now, however" he continued, Alaska has voted for Statehood
 Personally I think both Terri tories should be granted Statehood without further delay. They have waited much longer than we re- ouired ether Territories to wa [ and have the necessary population. de- veloped economy, educational facili- ties and are in every way quail fled, in my judgment, to be ad- mitted to full Statehood in the Union"

DAVE BECK ACTS

SEATTLE, Dec. 5-A back-to- work order from Dave Beck, Team steIs' Union International Vice President, figured in developments that led to the end of Oakland's $ general strike.
 My orders are to break the gen. eral strike" Beck said in tele- grams to Oakland Teamster Union leaders last night.
 His action was said here to be an unprecedented move by na- tional labor leader.
 My orders are to break the gen. eral strike, not to break the strike at the department stores. But ev- cry laundry, -beer, .aN.cab, trucf- and every other Teamster driver who left his job to participate in the general strike must go back to work"
 He said the general strike was punishing innocent employers, workers and the public" and caus- ing Teamsters to fail to honor le- gitimate contracts with employers not concerned with the department stores dispute.
 He said he had not known of the Teamsters' plans to join in the strike until after they struck. He said his order was not directed to teamsters directly connected with the department stores strike.

The w aShington Merry Go Round
Dy DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON weeks ago this column told how John L. Lew is had paid out around $300,00O of miners dues to a Springfield, H., mine owner, Carl Elshoff, to keep his mine closed.
 It is now possible to reveal that since publication of that column, the Treasury Department has talk en the John L. Lewis United Mine Workers income tax return out of the files and is studying it with a view to possible prosecution.
 Back in 1943, the Treasury had probed this payment to mine-owner Carl Elshoff, but despite the urg- ing of Secretary Morgenthau, ex- perts finally decided not to prose cute.
 The facts in the case are that Elshoff closed his coal mines on May 12, 1887 and remained closed for nearly two years, during which he received around $300,00O from
 
 Lewis, who at that time was try ing to throw out of work rival union employed by Elshoff which had won an election under the Wagner Act. Since he couldn' win out under the Wagner Act Lewis closed the mine.
 Later he reported the expendi- ture of the $3O0O0O in his tax re- turn, but Elshoff failed to report the $300,000 as income
 Thus the Treasury appeared at first to have a case against Elshoff and not against Lewis. However when Lewis discovered that the Treasury was probing the matter a series of notes were sent by Els hoff to Lewis to make the trans action appear as a loan. How ever, the Treasury claimed it hac evidence that the notes were pre-

 EIeeies Head
 0f Juneau C

E. Frank Heintzleman, of the U. s. Forest Service, was elected to the l947 presidential chair by members of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce at today's luncheon business meeting in the Gold Room Of the Baranof Hotel The five other members who will serve on next years Executive Board by popular electorial ballot are as follows: Norman Banfield, J. O. Rude, Burr Johnson, J. S. Mac Kinnon, and C. E. Warfield
 President Charles w. Carter op- ened the business discussion by asking for a report of last weeks minutes which were read by the Rev. w. Robert Webb, and ap- proved, and this was followed by the reading of correspondence re- ceived.
 Secretary Webb read a telegram from the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce, a letter from E. l.. Bartlett, Alaskan Delegate to Con- gress, and one from Foss Launch and Tug Company of Seattle. The latter was in regard to why their companys offer for space on barges, cleared for sailing by the water front unions in Seattle, had not been accepted.
 H. L. Faulkner, who had been asked by MT. Carter to bring the members up-to-date on the Stat terly Plan of 1889 which advo- cated the proposed migration of over 100000 European refugees to the Territory and which did not emerge from the committee con- sideration at that time because of strong opposition. Faulkner has prepared letter, designed to reach the attention of the new Con- gress as well as 1iso e4t.aii washing ton departmental channels, on the new proposal, now under considera- tion in the States, to colonize AL sska with refugees from the Baltic countries.
 Referring to certain passages in the original Slatterly report, Faulkner pointed cut the changes in present conditions, particularly transportation facilities, which have arisen in the past ten years to offset and nullify the prevailing Territorial conditions of 1939 MT Faulkner brought up the question of the disadvantages of Federal aid to individual communi- ties, citing the experiment of Mat anuska Valley as an example, and pointed out the individuality of i attempting Territorial colonization on the basis of settlement by large groups of foreigners in one com munity. He stated that Alaska must be colonized and developed by individuals, willing to work hard and make sacrifices rather than by process of large-scalc planned de- velopment instigeted by the State with aid of Federal funds.
 After the letter was read, lively discussion followed on Faulkner's open reference to labor hierarchy and it's staggering effect on Alas kan shipping and commerce oper- ations.
 Ralph Rivers took the floor to defend his opposition regarding the labor reference and Curtis Shat tuck replied to his arguments. President Carter called for vote by raised hands on the question of adopting Faulkners report as read by Secretary Webb. Motion carried by majority of 57 to Is. Meet ing was adjourned with the an- nouncement of the election ballot results.
