ventions under such law as you proposed, and you of course want to advocate something new. make the prediction, THAT YOU BOTH WILL BE FOR an INCOME TAX for the people of Alaska as that also would be something new.
 We have at this Legislature Four Male Lame Ducks, defeated from once to twice, three and nine times telling the Legislators what to do. They were rejected by the voters for Territorial offices. Can you name them? They have all sorts of new bills for the purpose of trying to get cn the taxpers back.
 Why not MT Newell, follow your party leadership, many of whom are doing the best they can for Alaska? If you cannot follow your own party follow the Representatives of this District Mrs. Elton Engstrom, Anita Garnick and Frank G John scn-who are the Progressive and Liberal element of the Republican Party and bound on their record 50 far to be reelected.
 Those who follow the leadership of maurice johnson should know as far as this distritc is concerncA that MT. johnson applied as a Roosevelt Democrat for the position as Assist ant U s. Attorney. He was not ap- pointed and then came out as Republican and was defeated for the Republican nomination for Repre- sentative
 The voters want something con- structive and accomplished not 30 days on spite legislation and inter- party fights. You are both being paid the large salary of S22 per day by us taxpayers. Do something for Alaska, or you also will join the Lame Ducks.

vETERANS' GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

Question from HW.S., Coates vile, Pa: I'm going into business for myself next month. I have enough capital to get started. Is there any benefit you can think of which would help me in this new endeavor?"
 Why not the readjustment al- lowance for self-employed veterans? It guarantees veteran who is seh-employed for profit' a net profit of S100 a month for a max mum of 10 2-5 months. Maybe you won't need it, but if you find you do apply at your local state employment service office.

POINT OF LAW

SPRINGFIELD Ill., An argu- ment over who shines the Chicago courthouse cuspidors has reached the Illinois Supreme Court.
 A 58-page brief, opposing Repub- ilcan Sheriff Elmer M. Walsh's suit against the Cook county board and the circuit court judges, says the common law doesn't give Sher- lff Walsh statutory powers to scrub and mop floors, polish cuspidors, clean washrooms, run elevators and the like"
 The big question involved is who handles the hiring and firing of 21l custodial employees.

In the cards for today are ques- tions and answers. Once week I park myself behind great hulk of reference material and try to dig up answers to the questions you guys ask.
 Query from TFH., Seattle: Can I go to school under the GI Bill for two years, quite and then af- ter three or four years go back for the other two years of CT schooling?"
 If you have four years coming to you there's no reason why you cant. But all CT Bill education must be completed within nine years after the official end of the war.

Query from WL.K, Portland, Ore: I'm getting pension for malaria. Will I keep on getting that pension for the rest of my life?"
 Possibly. It depends upon wheth- CT your malaria keeps coming back for the rest of your life. Actually the Veterans Administration is sup posed to give periodic physical ex-. aminations to all veterans getting pensions GOT compensation, as it's now called) to see whether they still rate them But of course veteran getting a pension for an amputation or some other per- manent disability would keep get ting the pension for the rest of his life.

Flying Of U. 5. Flag
By Rome Questioned
By British Base Head

newspaper A1uance, 1uc.)
RONNE ANTARCTIC EXPEDI-
TON, STONINGTON ISLAND,
MARGUERITE BAY, PALMER
LAND, Mar. II Delayed0 The
hitherto academic issue of terri
torial rights in the Antarctic has
materialized here in a dispute over
raising the American flag over this
base, less than 200 yards from
long established British base camp.
On March 13, at $3.50 pm, the
Stars and Stripes was raised by me
on the f1agpole erected by the
United States Antarctic Service Ex-
pedition (of which I was a mem
ber) in 1899, when this base was
established.
Flying Flag Questioned.
Next day, received the follow
ing letter from the commander of
the British base, Maj. K. s. Pierce
Butler:
Falkland Island dependencies
survey base,
Marguerite Bay, Graham Land,
"14th March, 1947.
ITO Commander Finn Rome,
U. S. N. R.,
"U. S. S. Spirit of Beaumont
"Sir,
ST am directed by his majestys
government to inquire the reason
for the United States flag being
flown on the northwest point of
Stonington Island.
Il assume that the United States
Government has made no claim to
this territory and that the flying
of this flag is merely an indication
of the presence of a United States
expedition.
IF that is so, have no objection
to the raise. If, however, this flag
is intended to represent territorial
claim, am bound to protest on be-
half of his majesty's government as
this violates British sovereignty and
shall have to report the matter to
his, majestyS government for in
structions..
"(Signed) K. S. PIERCE-BUTLER,
Major, Royal Signals,
Magistrate, Marguerite Bay"
Though Maj. Butler signed as
magistrate, indicating that law
court has been established here.
saw none such on an earlier visit to
the British base. On one building,
sign reads, Graham Land Post
Office, Marguerite Bay"
Replies to Mai. Butler.
Ireplied I to Maj Butler as follows:
"Sonington Island, Marguerite
Bay, Palmer Land, Antarctica,
March Il, 1947.
ITO Maj. K. S. Pierce-Butler,
"Sir:
''I am in receipt of your letter in
quiring as to why the United States
flag is being flown on the Amer
ican-built f1agpole on Stonington
Island.
The Rome Antarctic Research
Expedition is now reoccupying the
base built by the United States Gov
ernment on the United States Ant
arctic Service Expedition, 1939-41.
The fagpole was built by this ex-
pedition as part of the United States
Government camp.
LAS an American expedition re-
occupying this base on Stonington
Island, we have refoWn the Amer
lean flag on the American-built flag
pole at the American camp.

Commander, U. S. N. r.,

Unless I am otherwise instructed,
the American flag, now raised, will
continue to fly over our camp site.
have told Maj. Butler verbally that
Evening star., 1947-03-20

this is not a personal issue and that
we certainly have no objections to
their building their own flagpole
just as high or higher. The British
flag now is flying on their buildings.
Claims Question Cited.
I have also informed the major
that as I understand it; the United
States Government does not recog-
nize any other governments claim to
territory In the Antarctic, nor do we
make any claims.
Precedent for my act lies in the
fact that expeditions have always
raised the American flag at or near
the Little America camp site, which
Is also in the middle of the British
Ross Sea dependencies claim.
