 PRODUCTS WRITTEN INTO pCE MEASURE

WASHINGTON, May 3l-A group of Senators from western mining states wrote a $1Oo 100000 non-can- cellable subsidy for copper, lead and zinc into the price control ex- tension bill yesterday.
 In the only other vote taken by the Senate Banking Committee, a previously approved section lifting price controls from livestock, poul- try and dairy products was amend ed to make certain that eggs also will come out from under price control June 30.
 Meanwhile Senator Mitchell (D- Wash) indicated he will move to strike the word wages" from the stabilization act. He said he sees no use in attempting to control wages if the price of commodities is to be virtually unrestricted.

Two charming Cheechakos from Merrie England today are agreed that:
 CD They never expected to live in Alaska, but the prospect is at tractive.
 t2) Great Britain needs more washing machines and refrigera- tors.
 (3) Americans have been per fectly lovely" to them.
 Mrs. Franklin B. Shepard and Mrs. Max Lewis, Juneau's two Eng fish brides" who pointed out that they have been married % and l2 months respectively, agreed also that they have not been homesick to date.
 Mrs. Shepard the former Mar garet Rix of Norwich, arrived in the United States May 29. 1945, and in Juneau last January
 She met her husband, who is now with Pacific Northern Airlines, in Norwich, where he was stationed with the Eighth Army Air Force.
 T think there were more air dromes in the Norwich area than anywhere else in England" Mrs. Shepard said.
 She left home May Is, 1945, week after VIE day with 63 other English wives of American service men. Halfway across the Atlantic the sea blackout was lifted and the English girls, watching the lights go up, took it as an omen of bright, new life.
 Tn New YoIk for a week she took in all the tourist "musts' then went to Kansas to meet her hus- band. There she was greeted by 8 twister which was "almcst as bad as an air raid Shepard was released from the service and the couple proceeded to his parents Wyoming cattle ranch. Deep in the heart of a real-life western, Mrs. Shepard's initiation into the Ameri- can way of life was completed.

machines, refrigerators, Mixmasters land other labor saving devices could be exported to England on large scale.
 Likes Skiing
 The wife of one of Juneau's ski enthusiasts, Mrs. Lewis is eager to learn the sport, which she tried at Paradise Inn, near Seattle, on the way to Alaska.
 There's no skiing in England, but Englishmen are known to be quite decent skiers in Switzerland, :" she mentioned proudly.
 She thinks Europeans received mistaken impressions of America at the cinema" and that Alaskans are more like the English than the New Workers or Los Angeleans in that life here is unpretentious with emphasis on the great outdoors.
 She said she never thought about travel until she met Lewis at an American Officers Club in Sails bury, adding that now she has seen more of the United States than of the British Isles.
 As to comparing the two coun- tries she said that while England is picturesque and lovely, Alaska is magnificent. She plans to ac- uuire the sourdough slant along with her citizenship as soon as possible.
