BARTLETT WILL
 PROTEST CLOSE
 OF HAYNES ROAD

WASHINGTON, March g. - tR2 Delegate Bartlett (D D-Alaska) said today he is protesting to the State Department against Canada's plan to close the Haines Cutoff on the Alaska Highway on March 25
 Sena tor Magnuson -Wash1 made a similar protest yesterday.
 Bartlett said in statement
 Closing the Haines Cutoff is the most serious blow that can possibly be dealt the Alaska Highway system. No more important road exists in the Territory.
 The cut-eff offers possibilities lor combination marine-truck 5ranspor- tation to interior Alaska that could have gone a long way toward de- veloping the country.
 The fact that Canada has decid ed to clcse the road points up my opinion that there Is urgent neces- sity for the United States and Can- ada to take action for coordinate plan looking to protection of both countries and Alaska in the matter of highway transportation. From Q military standpoint this is of urgent necessity"

hawaii's Plea for
 Statehood Is Given
 Inf. Depi. Approval
By RIsON E. HUMPHREYS

WASHINGTON, March 8. - R- Statehood for Hawaii and Alaska has been mdorsed by Secretary of the Interior J. A, Krug at Con- gressional Committee hearing
 Krug was one of the first wit nesses to testify before the House Public Lands Committee as it began consideration legislation to make Hawaii the 49th State. The group will open a similar hearing on state hood for Alaska on April 16.
 After the Interior Secretary had urged statehood for Hawaii, Rep Crawford tR. -Mich1, a committee member, asked him how ne .elt about the general policy of admit ting offshore areas to statehood, a question CraWord said Congress will have to face.
 Krug replied he supports state hood for Alaska as strongly as he does for Hawai- For Puerto Rico, he said he endorses the recommen- dation of the late President Frank lin D. Roosevelt and President Tru-' man to find out what they really want"
 We're not ready fer the state hood question i'll Puerto Rico,' he added, and the Virgin Islands are considerably behind that"
 Krug said Gen Douglas Mac Arthur told him he favors statehood for Hawaii at this time.
 Tn response to another question by Crawford. Krug said he believes this Congress. at this sesson, should grant statehood to Hawaii without any further delay
 Rep. Larcade, CD,-La) chairman, and two other members of the sub committee which recommended Ha- waiian statehood last year added their pleas for immediate admission of the Territory

 TOURNEY IS
 IN MAKING
Proposal Is Advanced for Juneau Anchorage to
 Play al Basketball

The sounding last night of the scorers horn declaring the Juneau High Crimson Bears as Southeast Alaska Basketball Champions again started anew the rumblings of bigger tournament ahead the All Alaska Championship.
 Last year it was impossible to play an All-Alaska tourney because no championship team was determined in the Westward This year An chorage holds that honor Such a tournament could be held either at Juneau or Anchorage.
 There are many arguments, pro and con, on the subject of inter- scholastic activities Considering such things as travel. expenses and accommodations, it is believed that a great deal of accomplishment comes from this type of activity.
 The Petersburg Vikings, en,nused over participation in an All-Alaska tourney, had made local plans to play at Petersburg, and if neces- sary, at Anchorage. To encourage the playing of such a tournament, even after being eliminated, the Viking student body pledged s25 to 6 local school board member if it were necessary fer Juneau to travel to Anchorage
 The close association of the Ju- neau High School student body and the Petersburg High School student body certainly had a great deal to do with their offer of material aid. The Vikings will be as much par ticipant in the All-Alaska Tourney i'll spirit, as will the J-Hi's.
 The high school team is composed Of some of the finest fellows in school and if it is necessary that they travel, they will ably represent the entire study body. They are good sports and their long string of vic- tories speak for itself.

NEW POLICY OUTLINED
 FOR LIQUOR
Thorough Investigation of License Applications
 Is Adopted

That William c. Jackson bar li- cense application-for place for colored folk-that has been kicked around the City Hall for some weeks now, last night touched off a new airing of the City's stand cn liquor licensing.
 Out of the discussion surround ing the Jackson application came an order for a new ordinance which will clearly set forth a license approving procedure. The proposed ordinance would require thorough investigatin of an ap- plicant'S misunderstanding back ten years prior to application. The Council would provide it's Police Committee with sufficient funds to do a real probing job.
 The five Councilmen present last night-Sully absent-voted unani- mously in favor of Ed Nielsen's motion for such an ordinance.
 Reverses stand
 That. however, was only half of what Councilman Nielsen had in mind. He voiced complete re- versal of his long-held stand against issuing any new licenses at all. Recent thinking has con- vinced him his former view was in error. he said He proposed that the City abandon it's hard and fast line against additional licen- ses and = after the thorough ln- vestigation he proposed - approach each application on it's merits.
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson came out flatly against any such pol icy and his opposition carried any action over to another day. That included action on Jackson's ap- plication, though Jackson asked for an immediate decision, even if unfavorable which he was told it would have to be if a vote were taken then.
 William Eddy, representative of the Alaska Retail Liquor Dealers Association, applauded the policy of investigation the City proposes to follow He declared the sug- gestion to be one of the finest he has heard and added that he could think of nothing that would help the better element of the liquor industry more, in it's ef- fort to clean up the business.
 Blamed For Few
 If he could get every city coun- cil to make thorough examinations of applicants, the Associations

SHIP BILL SIGNED BY
 PRESIDENT
Private Operation of AL dska Vessels 10 Start Apr.
 15-Rdtes Up B Percent

SEATTLE, March 8.-tR-;An- nouncement in Washington that President Truman had signed leg islation authorizing 16-month Alaska shipping program brought response today from Seattle. Steam ship companies serving the Terri tory expect to resume private op- erations April 15 for the first time since the government took over shipping early in the war
 During the interim the Maritime Commission will continue to pro- vide service to Alaska.
 Under the new program the Commission will provide ships to the Alaska Steamship Company, the Northland Transportation Company and the Alaska Trans portation Company for Alaska routes
 The pmvate operators will stand all losses, the government will re- ceive 75 percent of the profits over 10 percent, and rates will be in creased an estimated 35 percent.
 G. w. Skinner, President of the Alaska Steamship Company, said the three shipping concerns expect to sign contracts with the Maritime Commission early next week
 "The contract assures us the right to draw on surplus Maritime Commission tonnage as needed for the trade. One serious problem, however, is the complete lack of suitable passenger ships for the Alaska run. There just aren't any of that type to be had Skinner said.
 The Alaska Transportation Com pany will continue to urge passage of legislation for construction of American-flag passenger ships for Alaska, J. A. Talbot, newly-elected chairman of the firms board of directors, declared
 Waterfront observers say that while the shipping picture looks brighter today than it has for sometime, there's still a possibility of a hitch.
 The act signed by the President authorizes a rate increase that may ,Naroan+
 Alaskans have objected to the rate hikes in the past and water front observers say if the new rates are protested enough to force the Commission to suspend the tariff, the private operators might he forced to suspend operation.

The w aShinqto Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-With hundreds of thousands of war veterans still doubled up with in-laWs, housing continues to be the No. l problem everywhere in the nation-every- where, that is, except Congress.
 AS far as Congressional leaders are concerned, you would scarcely know the housing problem exists. Though the legislators have been in session two months, and though millions of veterans still are clam bring for homes, the Congressional batting average has been exactly .000.
 Here is the box score.
 The Senate After waiting two long and precious months, Senators Taft of Ohio and Ellender of Louisiana finally have decided to re-introduce their long-range hous- ing proposal This is an excellent bill, providing for public-built hous- ing, rented at low cost; also for liberalization of loan and mortgage terms for low-income home buyers; also for Slum clearance. However, it will not help veterans for at least another year, probably longer.
 Meanwhile other housing bills have been introduced by Demo- cratic Senators Magnuson of Wash ington, Pepper of Florida, Spark man of Alabama, and Republican Senator Langer of North Dakota.
 These, however, have not even been considered by the Senate Banking and Currency Committee, to which they have been rendered. Reason is that able Senator Tobey of New Hampshire, normally a fast-mover, has been playing poli- tics on behalf of Senator Taft. He has blocked the other housing bills, waiting for Ta1t and Ellender to
