TOURISTS NOT WAIVED
 0NCOSTLY ALCAN ROAD

Dan Markel, of the Seattle Post Intelligencer Washington Bureau under recent date lined Wash ington story says the Alcan High way built at cost of l39 million American dollars is closed to Am erican tourist travel and is likely to remain closed to it indefinitely.
 The once widely-publicized high way is now a deserted and disin- tesrating road over which only one American civilian, according to re- spcnsible sources here, has been allowed to drive his own private vehicle.
 Jurisdiction over the road, now under a joint American Canadian i army command, will be transferred 70 the exclusive control of the Cam adian army on April | Many nes,rictions
 We don't think any tourists will be allowed over it this year, a spokesman for the Canadian embassy here advised today. "The road is merely set up for emer- gency travel A special permit from the Canadian army will be re- quired"
 Only che such permit has been issued, the spokesman recalled and that was obtained by the prospec- i've motorist through the inter- cession of his representative in con- gress.
 Delegate E. L. Bartlett of Alaska said he had arranged a permit for Harry Ala, of Fairbanks, Alaska, tut Bartlett did not know if Ala actually made the journey, because the permit when finally issued was : hedged with conditions and restric- tons
 An army veteran. Ala had work cd cn construction of the highway, hhad been over the entire route in military vehicles, and was fully cpnyersant with travel in Northern Wastelands.
 Ala asked permission to drive a tuck back from the United States to his home in Fairbanks, taking with him his wife and child.
 For six weeks the war veteran remained in Washington waiting l for the permit. When it eventually came through, it stipulated that Ala should make the journey alone; that his small family not ac- company him. His wife and child could use commercial transporta- tion facilities, he was blandly told by the military authorities. Must Check Car l Ala also was advised his car

 CAGE TOPPER
Alfifudinous Aggie Ace Seems Sure fo Surpass
 Miners Morgenihaler

NEW YORK, March 2o.-Big Bob Kurland, of the NCAA and Mis- Isouri Valley Champion Oklahoma Aggies, and not Elmore Morgen- ithaler, of New Mexico Mines, ap- Hrarently is going to win the l946 national collegiate individual high scoring basketball title
 A week ago Morgenthaler who wound up the season with 595 points, seemed assured of finish ing on top, but the weekly Associat- ed Press tabulation today disclos- cd that Kurland, with two and possibly three more games to play, needs only 25 points opass Mor gsnthaler
 Currently, Kurland is in third place at 571, but at the terrific clip he has travelled in the Aggies last nine games, he appears certain to cross the 600 point mark, thus easily passing Bill Hall, of Marshall, now second at SIP, and Morganthal- CT.
 , On Friday, Kurland plays against Baylor in the Western NCAA elim- nations at Kansas City and on Sat- urday against either Colorado or California, depending on whether tie Aggies beat Baylor A vic tory over the Southwest Conference champs also will assure the ap- pearance of the Aggies in New York on March 26 for the East-West NCAA playoffs.

 ROUNDUP
BY HUGH FuLLERroN

NEW YORK, March 20-It sounds slightly confusing. as so many things in this sports business are, but Al Sutphin, Cleveland's round man with the red necktie, claims that in many respects even boom- time sports don't pay their own way Looking at it from the Arena owners viewpoint, Al shows where a building with more than 10000 capacity has a lot of seats that never pay for themselves and at the same time he explains that the American Hockey League re- mains minor circuit because most of it's arenas don't have the seat ing capacities to pay big league sal aries The explanation appar- ently is that the guy who puts up one of those big structures loses his dough and the one who takes it over at a bargain price can oper- ate it profitably.

ACT OF GREEN-yKATTUCk
 .ES PASSED BY HOUSE
Determined Opposition Is Finally Beaten Down as
 Charges Are Made

The Green-Shattuck Workmen $ Compensation Act climbed a rugged path to passage. 20 to 2, in the House yesterday. over determined opposition which included charges that the AFL-CIO meeting which endorsed the bill was packed
 Rep. Warren A. Taylor charged that the labor meeting, held in AFT hall here March 8, was colored by rough, prejudiced, not to say obstreperous element The charge followed challenges prompted by Taylor's efforts to raise the bills compensation rates by 10 percent Previously Taylor failed to raise the rates 25 percent.
 Rep. Curtis Shattuck branded the moticn just another attempt by Mir Taylor to keep this bill from passing
 Supporting Shattuck, Rep. Mau- rice Johnson against asked what proved to he the s64 question in Iy- sterday's morning session:
 Mir. Taylor, if the rates are too low in the Shattuck bill, why are they equally low in your own bill?" Taylor had introduced HB. 50 as a rival compensation measure.
 Another AttGck
 In reply Taylor attacked another of the Green -Shattuck provisions permitting substantial corporations and individuals, whose solvency is recognized, to be their own insur- ance, whereas smaller companies must insure employees compensa- tions with an insurance company
 Taylor concluded with:
 If you'll make all companies, big Iand small, insure, I'll go along with you on the compensation rates"
 This brought a blast from Shat tuck, who branded the offer, The most insincers statement I've heard in this house! If MT. Taylor thinks the rates should go up and the big companies insure, let him vote that way. But don't talk to me about compromise!
 PdrSon's Letter
 During a recess a letter arrived opportunely and was inserted into second reading of the bill Signed by James Parsons, President of Lo- cal 2247 of the United Brotherhood of the Carpenters and Jointers of America, the letter restated Fay lor's charge that the March AFL- CIO meeting was packed"
 The letter in part, was:
 T wish to take this opportunity to apologize to you who attended the meeting at AFL hall (which was a picked crew) for the treatment and ill courtesy you received there, especially for the carpenters as we do not run out meetings in that manner
 The letter denounced the Green 5hattuck bill as purely political {. :. puTtly lOl tlc liloui diiCC SViiitldii- ies whereby MT. Sharpe and MT. Shattuck intend to use labor 10 further their own ends"
 Letter Challenger
 Shattuck immediately challenged the authenticity of the letter, de- manding a copy and pointing out that it bore neither the union let terhead nor seal.
 Throughout the discussion, labor names" came and went in the gall lery. Appearing yesterday were Commissioner of Labor Walter Sharpe; Frank Marshall, head of the Alaska AFL; Commissioner of
