MEMORIALS
 ARE PASSED
 BY HOUSE
New Bill Would Put Up S100, 900 10 Aid Cam
 pdign for Statehood

The fisheries memorial which oc- cupied the attention of the House of Representative during most Of its forenoon session yesterday, was passed during the afternoon after scme amendment The amend ments included a request for $l.- oo0,000 for research and enforce ment in the Alaska salmon fisher ies and the deleting of request that the establishment of hatcher ies in the Territory be given con- sidsration
 The House also passed two Sem ate memorials: s. J. M. l2. asking that the appropriation for the Alas ka Game Commission be increased by Congress, and S. J. M, ', urging immediate construction of the Bar Point boat harbor at Ketchikan.
 Immediately following the noon recess yesterday, the House resolv- cd itself into a Committee of the Whole to hear testimony on H. B.. 4, which would regulate insurance in the Territory.
 Explains Insurance Bill
 Offering testimony on the mea- sure were R. k. Robertson. Allen Shattuck and Curtis Shattuck. Rob- ertson explained that three years ago the United States Supreme Court ruled, contrary to the de- cisions of the preceding 75 years, that the insurance business is inter- state commerce and is subject to the Sherman Act, Clayton Act, the Robinson -Patman Act and other such Federal measures.
 Congress then passed a law, Rob- ertson said. to exempt the insur- ance business from these various Acts until January 1, l948, in order to give the various states and terri tories time to enact legislation reg ulating the business.
 Allen and Curtis Shattuck ex- plained that the present bill is almost identical with one being considered by the California legis- lature. If this or some similar bill is not passed by the present session. it was pointed out, it is quite possible that the various in- surance companies may withdraw from the Territory, thus creating chaos in business, as no bank loans could be made without insurance.
 Protection For Public
 The bill would also give the pub lie protection in that it would give the Insurance Commissioner the power to regulate the rates either downward if ttey seem out of reason, or upward if he feels that they will not keep the underwater sufficiently solvent to guarantee payment of losses. it was pointed out by Curtis Shattuck
 The Committee of the Whole re- ported back to the House with a recommendation that the bill should be passed.
 Prior to the committee hearing, Curtis Shattuck, as a former mem ber of the Legislature was ex- tended the privilege of the floor.
 Aid To Statehood
 A bill to appropriate $l00000 to advance statehood for Alaska, es- tablish the Alaska Statehood Off, flee and the position of Director, was introduced in the House by Rep Steve McCutcheon. The di- rector would be appointed by Dele gate Bartlett and would receive compensation of up to $8,000 a year
 The House adjourned at D. m. yesterday to meet again at 10 o'clock Monday morning.

PORTUGAL REVOLT
PLOT DISCOVERED
Premier Salazar Announces
Smashing OF Overthrow

LISBON, Portugal, June l6-[P
The government of Premier An
tonic de Oliveira Salazar announc'
ed yesterday it had smashed a
plot by professional conspi-ators''
to gain control TO Portugal by mill
tary revolt.
a government communicate, is
sued after a cabninet meeting said
IL Army and Navy officers and
IA university professors allegedly
involved in the pot would be
purged.
The revolutionary conspiracy
was uncovered when secret files
of the plotters were found and, the
government said, was connected
with recent anti-government Incl
dents which included sabotage,
Communist %outbursts, d. C 4
strikes and student demonstra'
tons.
The communique said "profes
sional conspirators" had influenc'
ed Army and Navy officers AND
that several groups had been or
ganized for the ultimate purpose
of promoting armed revolution
against the government.
PIotter's Fight
The government indicated the
plot failed because the revolution
lists fought among themselves.
Although the ccmmunique did
not say how long the conspiracy
had been brewing. it declared the
government had been aware OF it
for some time, but took NO action
until saboteurs attempted to DAM
age military planes last April -
an occurrence that proved too
much for the patience of the gov
eminent"
Stating it's determination to
eliminate professional revolution
aries" from the military and civil
services, the government said the
first to be purged would be two
naval officers and II army Off

He declared that one of their
principal stockholders was killed
in the fighting and that the stock
is in the hands of his widow.
"We'll carry this matter to the
supreme court if we have to-"
Gilber asserted.
Wait Joint Meeting
What action will be taken by
the commissioners and council
will depend upon a decision 10 be
reached at a joint meeting of the
commissioners, the city council
and the Chamber of Commerce
aviation committee, the latter
body having previously favored
the State Airlines petition.
Action was suggested last night
by City Councilman J. E. L. Wade
that an effort be made to obtain
the presence of Thomas Davis,
president Of the Piedmont com
pany, for Wednesday when the
council meets. Davis presence
was in line with the opinion OF
commissioners who voted to defer
action until Davis could present
his side OF the controversy.
Commissioner Harry Gardner at
yesterdays, meeting pressed for
the setting of a definite time for
the joint session. but without sue
cess. Councilman Wade was in at
tendance at the meeting on an
other matter.
Gilbert, in his plea, said he be-
lieved that the CAB decision was
in error" He and Farrell based
much of their argument on their
contention that the State firm
would establish headquarters of
their line here, employ several
hundred local persons and bring a
huge revenue to this community.
They argued that Piedmont pro-
poses only to establish a ticket
office in Wilmington.
Matter Debatable
Commissioner Harry Gardner
declared that the entire matter
''is debatable" and that the COM
missioners could not criticize a
decision of the examiners without
hearing Piedmont's side of the
case.
Farrell's reply was that Davis,
president of Piedmont, has had
two months to present his case.
Don't you think that is enough
time?" he asked.

Commissioner Louis Coleman,
during the meeting, remarked
that he believed the funds could
easily be raised from business
men and organizations on the Is
beaches which the association ad-
vertises.
Glenn Tucker and J. J. Hudi-
burg, executive secretary of the
association, presented the plea for
a $1,000 appropriation,
They presented literature, fig
ures and arguments to show that
the association was advertising

Recounts Story
Lands recounted this story of
Capitals flight 410 after it left
Pittsburgh for Washington:
At 5:53 pm, Eastern Standard
Time, the pilot reported he was
over the Flintstone intersection Ga
radio marker 88 miles southeast of
Pittsburgh flying at 1000 feet. One
minute later Always Traffic con-
troll (ATC) in Washington cleared
him to proceed to the Herndon
marker "a radio marker familiar
to all airline pilots in this section)
where he was to hold or wait by
circling. ATC further advised him
that because of traffic congestion
in the Washington area he could
not expect clearance into the Wash
ington airport before 7:2O pm.
At that time the ceiling in Wash
ington was 700 feet and visibility
was four miles. Over Martinsburg,
w. Va, about that time, the cell
ing was $500 feet and visibility
was three miles.
The pilot acknowledged the mes
sage about proceeding to Herndon,
and three minutes later asked if
he could come in con contact
Chat is within sight of the ground)
on the right hand side of the Ar
cola range.
(The Arcola range is fairly new
and parallels the Herndon range
about 10 miles to the South. 1t was
installed to'relieve traffic conges-
tion.)
Washington told him he was
cleared to use the Arcola range if
he could fly contact at $500 feet
or less, adding that he was cleared
to come straight into the airport if
he could do that.
The plane captain acknowledged
the message at SOB pm. and ac-
knoWledged again when he was told
to report every time he left a 1000
foot level.
The pilot reported at Cos pm.
that he was leaving 1000 feet. Two
minutes later he reported leaving
5000 feet and at sos pm. he re-
ported being over Martinsburg, ".
Va. Almost Immediately after
wards, he reported he was leaving
5000 feet. At 6:10 he reported leav-
ing 1000 feet and at 6:13 pm. he
reported leaving 5000 feet.
Six minutes later, at 6:19 pm,
the Washington tower called and
asked for information. 1t received
no acknowledgement.
The average Of four watches
found in the wreckage indicated
that the plane had crashed at 6:16
pm. at a point about 1,500 feet
above sea level and $50 feet below
the crest of the mountain.
Lands said preliminary investi-
cation showed that the plane was
in normal flying position with pow.
err on when it struck. All control
surfaces have been accounted for
and there is no indication that
anything dropped off the airplane
before 1t struck. Visibility and cell.
ing were zero zero at that point at
