called Walker bloc in the Senate.
 Taking advantage Of it's kill-bin majority, the Senate had ruled
 that il would pass on appointments
 without meeting with the House. a traditional custom, thus the ap- pointments sent down by the Gov eInor came up before the Senate first before being acted upon by
 the House Previously, the yener- able Senate, self-admitted "crea- ture of Congress g had questioned Commissioner Mullaney about his qualifications He appeared to have passed the test as such phras- es as "eminently qualified" were heard from those who asked the questions. But Mullaney was Governors apointment, as provid- ed by law, and the hate-Gruening crowd did their stuff The eight names listed above voted against confirming the Tax Commissioner President Ed Coffey of Anchorage, who votes with the bloc this time changed his mind and voted for Mullaney The latter is from the Matanuska Valley and a lot of Coffey's constituents live and vote in that valley.
 What the Senate apparently for laney was that he remains in of flee despite their schoolboy action pite their schoolboy attitude When the Tax Commissioner bill was passed by the regular session il carried the provision that in case of failure to confirm, the in cumbent should remain in office until his successor is qualified and confirmed. As the House has not yet acted. the Governor can make no further appointment, even if he could find a qualified man. On ly a few days of the session re- main, certainly not enough time to find another qualified man Re suit The Senate in it's hOrseplay had tossed tax collection back into the Governors lap, and the latter under the non-confirmation clause in the law, can keep Tax Commis- sioner Mullaney on the job until, | as one legal exponent put it, hell freezes over" Incidentally Null laney is probably the best quali- fled man in the Territory for he job He has spent the major part of e life time in tax work, both for the Federal government and as a private expert for large firms.

SENATORS ATTEMPT TO
 PUT GOVERNOR ON SPOT

While veterans legislation rest ed in conference committee, the senate spent the last two days 1n Ia memorial. which passed today asking for the removal of Governor Gruening after charging him the day before of using his office fer political purposes. The Governor took the stand in the Senate yes terday himself to answer his crit ica He outlined his achievements of the last six years declaring If what We have accomplished is crime, then I stand convicted " The Governor was charged with but tonhOling" legislators and asking them to vote for certain measures. He replied. 'I have not relinquish- ed my rights as an American citi- Zen by being Governor: the right of persuasion is the right of every American
 Senator Walker charged the Gov ernor with insulting senators in his message to the people last year in what Walker called the Green Book" Alaska's chief executive re- piled that he had referred to no one person in the Senate but to the general performance of that body
 He said: The Senate petered out in a shabby fiasco; even its own members were disgusted with its performance"
 Gruening reminded the Senate that it still had not formally ad- journed from last session. It had never notified the Governor of it's intention to adjourn, "it just walked out" He reviewed that in the last session which never. for mally adjourned. some senators got disgusted waiting and wen. home and finally President of the Senate Ed Coffey threw down the gavel and walked out without GUS tomary closing procedure.
 The veterans' bill proposing loans and bonuses for veterans Of World War II was still in confer ence today. report being that the committee was divided three to three
 The memorial on the Governor is purely a Senate memorial and needs no House action.

 Andrea Gromyko of Soviet Rus sia. says he doesn't know whare he will spend the day. a matter which has become an international problem rather than a social item since Gromyko started his boycott yesterday of UNO sessions.
 First on schedule is the return appearance of the Iranian ambas- sador to the UNO sessions. He will answer questions put to him by Polish delegate Dr. Oscar Lange. who has supported Russia right a long.
 Lange wants to know if the Iranian ambassador has received official information on withdrawal of Red Army troops. and whether he has instructions from his home government to oppose any delay in the councils consideration Of the dispute.
 In Teheran, Iranian Premier is standing fast on his de- nial that he has reached any a. greement with Russia. 4 spokes- man for Ghayan was quite em- phatic in saying that no agreement has been signed, nor any secret understanding worked out despite equally emphatic statements of Soviet Marshal Stalin that an un- derstanding has been reached

It was a dark and gloomy night on August 21, 1901, when Mrs. Antime Lemieux and her six small children, Allie, Bertha, Aurora Christina, Louis and Ned walked down the gangplank of the old steamer Alki onto the Wrangell dock.
 To the young French-Canadian mother the joy of meeting her hus- band, who had preceded her here, was dampened by the desolation and loneliness she felt when she saw the sleepy barren town which was to become her home. There was no main street-only dark, alimy beach, Tapped by the even darker water, which curved toward the towns only hotel and bordered by narrow slippery board walks Here and there lamp winked through the driving downpour but it's uncertain light only served to show the precarious stepping foT the childrens tired feet and a drop of several feet to the beach below
 Wrangell was a town of about 800 people on that far-away night 45 years ago and there being only l13 other white women among its inhabitants at the time, prospects 1 for companionship and sociability seemed remote to the young mother.
 Antime Lemieux had left his home at Kamloops, B. c during the gold rush, and had left too hi' family to await his return Al Dawson he met two friends whC had decided hand logging offered

narrow walks when she came, was filled in and graded. Trees were cut and homes and yards pushed back the wilderness to the foothills of Mt Dewey and surrounding hills. A school was built; a Cathol- ic church built and Mrs. Lemieux and her husband became one of the towns leading families.
 We used to have good times in those days" Mrs Lemieux recalls today Basket socials, pie socials and dances where the women wore formal clothes. They were gala oc- casions As I look back now I can say I never had such good times CT really lived until I came to Wran- gell. We were all one big family, young and old alike"
 Lemieux entered the coal business. When he retired finally, after many years in business here, he had been proprietor of a local bar
 The Lemieuxs were married in Ottawa. Canada, in 1886 Mir. Lem ieux passed away here three years ago
 Four of the six children who ac- companied their mother to Wran. gell in 1901 are still residents oi the town. Allie, (Mrs Samue Cunningham is the wife of local business man; Bertha married Paul Christensen after the deatf of her first husband, George Skel l ton; Aurora is married to B..

 Leo Mccormack pointed out the
 need for better fire fighting equip
 ment at the small boat harbor float He pointed out that a boat
 which burned yesterday at the
 float could have been saved with
 proper fire fighting apparatus. Af-
 ter considerable discussion Presi-
 dent Nolan instructed Chet Steear to contact Ketchikan Coast Guard office to see if the fire fighting equipment they had here during the war could not be returned. 4 request was also made by Dr. Nell son that the respirator, here for merly be included Ben Engdal askedthat fire extinguishers by put on the float but Steear. who is a member of the fire department explained that the fire department already had had 16 extinguishers stolen down there and it was im- possible 10 keep them there

 On the matter of dredging the Narrows. Jack Waters made the suggestion that the three million oarmarked for that could better be used in dredging Dry Pass. He pointed out that the new boats being acquired by the Alaska lines were much larger than the old boats and could not navigate the narrOws even if it were dredged. whereas at a third of the cost Dry Pass could be dredged and boats of any tonnage could get through. He also pointed out that the silt brought up by dredging could be built up at one end of the pass and utilized as an airport where large planes could land.

 After reading of the minutes President Nolan called on Super intendent of Schools George Fab ricius for report on the eduction bill before the present extra-ordin- ary session of the Territorial Leg islature. MT Fabricius reported that the bill had passed both Hous- es and awaited only the Govern ors signature The bill provides for an added } per cent refund to towns for increases in teachers salaries.

 Mir. Lemieux sent for his family but if he expected his wife. to ex- uberate over their new home he was doomed to disappointment ln fact, the family likes to recall, a. musingly that their mother re- fused to unpack the family trunks and bags for several weeks be- cause she was determined to go back.
 The rugged frontier life; the lack of church and poor school; the rain and glowering tree-crowd- ed mountains pressing down to the town's waters edge, did not ap- peal to the woman who liked and had taken part in activities of her former British Columbia home. She was eager, too. for her children tc have the best that education Of fered. She refused, flatly, to move tG the Shakan logging camp where her husband worked and, still hop ing to leave, settled down with hei family while her husband gave dI his logging operations to enter tht draying business in Wrangell.

WE, THE WOMEN
A Lesson For All Paraents
BY RUTH MILLETT

THANK God our prayers have
been answered. We've learned
our lesson. If we ever hire an
other maid it will be after an ex-
haustive investigation" said the
Kansas City father upon finding
his ~3-year-old daughter who had
been kidnapped by a maid he hired
off the street.
Maybe the story, frontpaged in
papers all over the country, will
teach other parents a LESSON too.
For hiring unknown girls and
women to take care of children
has become a common practice.
Papa and Mama are invited to
a party. Comes the problem OF
finding someone to look after the
kids. All the baby-sitters they
know are busy, and so Mama be-
gins to telephone frantically.
Finally she locates somebody
about whom she knows absolutely
nothing-and thankfully turns her
children over to the stranger for
the evening.
So far as Papa and Mama are
concerned, a crisis has been met
They've solved their problem.
They have been saved from the
awful possibility of having to miss
a party.
If the unknown baby-sitter turns
out to be okay-it is nothing more
than luck. For they don't know
the first thing about her.
For all they know she may be
mentally off; she may brighten
them into being good with scary
stories. Ehe might not even be de-
pendable enough to get the chill
dren out of the house in case OF
fire.
"We've learned our lesson said
the Kansas City father, who was
fortunate enough to have his kid
mapped child returned to him I'M
harmed.
Maybe. thousands of other par
ents have also learned a lesson.
