THE CLOSED SHOP BILL

During discussion in the Senate the other day on the bill which would allow for a referendum on the subject of the closed shop in Alaska one corridor wit was heard to remark that perhaps the bill should be amended like the fish traps referendum bill, making the question: That the closed shop should be gradually abolished in Alaska period of 10 years.
 In a more serious vein, would like to point out the simiarties which the closed shop and the fish trap possess
 The Governor claims that ownership of fish traps are so concentrated that they are monopostic. Two years ago he proposed to start the campaign to get rid of them by imposing upon them graduated tax so much for the first and much for each there after etc. a chain store tax theory. The tax would increase on each trap owned. This had to do with what the Governor called the economic and social aspects of the fish trap"
 Now. when you consider the closed shop certainly this gives a particular union group of men a monopoly upon the jobs in certain trade, In a certain area Perhaps also legislae these out of existence by imposing upon the CIO so much for the first closed shop and much for each thereafter increasing the scale that the closed shop would be legislated out of existence

over whether Negroes should be permitted to eat with white em- ployees.
 Thomas s. Thornton, a Negro war veteran who was appointed to a job in the Senate Post Office by Senator Curly Brooks of Illinois, was told to leave the luncheonette in the Senate Office Building after he had purchased a sandwich and coffee there
 A luncheonette attendant told Thornton that he would have to carry his food outside to eat it. Thornton, however. refused to leave until he had finished his lunch.
 Later. the Negro employee was called on the carpet by Sergeant at-Arms McGinnis, who told him not to eat in the Senate Office Building Luncheonette or in simi- lar places any more.
 Interesting fact is that the Ne gro who was reprimanded and Ser geant-at Arms McGinnis, who did the reprimanding, both were ap- pointed by Republican Curly Brooks of Illinois.

PATTERSON ASKS F0UNDAT!OM FOR
 BASIC RESEARCH

WASHINGTON, March 8.-lR- Secretary of War Patterson, saying the scientific resources of the entire nation are now necessary for security. urged Congress today to create a national science tounda- tion to direct basic research.
 There has to be some sort of mobilization plan for science. not only in the event of an emergency, but to carry on the necessary re- search work in peacetime,' he told the House Commerce Committee.
 Patterson asserted, however, that Congress. if it creates the found- ation, should leave the War De- partment some funds for basic research of it's own, particularly in fields in which it desires pro- gress accelerated.
 The committee is holding hear ings on five measures which all propose creation of a science foundation, but differ in details.

because of the legal knowledge. However MT Zegler
 4 years of experience member of the Board should be reason enough for his reappointment No reason has been given for refusing MT. zegers reappoint7 ment and We do not believe any valid reason exists It may be a purely personal reason but the good oi the Territory should come before that
 Dr Carr who would replace MT. Zeger on the Board probably is also an excellent man, and this should not be taken any criticism of him.
 Of course the Legislature may rot confirm pr Carr knowing the background concerning this appoint ment and we hope that is the But even should the Legislature refuse confirmation unless the Gov ernor sends MT Zieglers name down, the position could remain vacant until after the Legislature ad- ourns for this session. the Governor could appoint any man he desires regardless of the wishes of the Legislature This is what he has done in the case of the Tax Commissioner
 Here is a clear cut example of the tremendous power over local affairs vested the hands of the Federal appointee who occupies the Governors chair We believe that is unwise abuse of this power It has aroused good deal of antagonsm toward the Governor over matter which does not deserve such fuss when viewed in the light of other more important matters.
 Persona prejudice aside, believe the reappoint- ment of MT zeglcr is highly desirable for the good of Alaska and hope that the Governor will see fit to yield in this one case But-we doILt it.

THE ZIEGLER APPOINTMENT

For reasons apparently known only to himself the Governor of Alaska recently declined to reappon as a member of the Board of Education man who has served faithfully and eXpertly on that board for IA years We refer to the of A. H. ziegler of Ketchikan.
 S valuable have MT. ziegler's talents been to the Board that when it learned he would not be reappointed members Of the Board personally pleaded with the Governor to change his mind resolution commenting MT ziegler adopted by the Board during it's recent meeting. and it is understood that Commissioner of Education Ryan also desires that MT Ziegler be reappointed
 In the light of this resolution, which presented to the Legislature, Rep Robert Hcopes introduced a memorial urging that the Governor reconsider this appointment.
 It is our hope that the Governor will reconsider, for the good the Territory He proposes replace MT Zieger with Ketchikan physician. This would put two doctors on the Board, and leave the Board, for the first time in many many years, without a member who has been attorney, and very valuable

House of Representatives - Var ious housing bills have been intro duced in the House, the best being authored by Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas, California Dem ocrat. whose husband ma jor in the war, was great cham pion of the GI
 Her hill-sponsored in the Senate by Glen A. Taylor of Idaho-pro- vides for a Sl,000 100000, long range program of construction for rental, with federal subsidies to enable veterans to pay rentals within their means. The bill also provides for the sale ol rental units after the housing emergency is over, with all proceeds returning to the Treasury.
 Housing authorities consider the Douglas-Taylor bill the best solu- ton so far offered to meet the enormous shortage of low-cost ren- tai units.
 However Michigans Jesse Vol cott chairman Of the Housing Banking and Currency Committee, has been holding up not only this but all other housing bills His eX- cuse is that he himself will intro duce a special housing bill when he has time"
 The other housing bills Wolcott IS sitting on include a House du- plicate of the Taft-Ellender Senate bill introduced by Representative Celler ol New York; plus another measure offered by Representative Crawford of Michigan that modi- fies the Celler legislation
 Tip-off on Chairman Wolcott's ecld-bricking IS that he has sched- uled no hearings for any housing legislation and doesn't plan to m- til he holds hearings On sugar quotas
 Prospects Congress will continue to stall on veterans housing will depend on builders and building material producers to bring down rental and sales costs, without leg islatiye prodding through federal controls and construction.
 When Congress does get around to acting House public housing foes will put up a violent fight against the -Ellender bill. Cap itol Hill scouts of the big veterans organizations privately crncede this measure will either be defeated or chopped to pieces, while Sen ator Taft tells friends that he may have to consent to deleting the heart Of his bill public housing features-in order to get the re- mainder-loan and mortgage liber- alization-through the House of Representatives
 Congress apparently is perfectly willing to let the vets sweat 1t out in brier pateh-on the theory that it's better than a 1oxhole.

The new development on the
cousin Of the Marihuana weed was
disclosed by Prof. Roger Adams
and associates of the University
OF Illinois. They reported at the
1l1th annual meeting Of the Amer
lean Chemical society that a
series of drugs - all chemically
similar to an active Ingredient in
natural Ma-ihuana - have been
synthesized.
The new drugs have been tested
on dogs which were temporarily
paralyzed. The drugs, estimated
to be 70 times more powerful
than natural Marihuana, may
have some practical application.

manning so passengers sighed
their relief while the airliner con-
tinued its east bound flight from
Los Angeles.
Barrett and Murphy were slap
ping each other on the cack and
radiating good fellowship when
they boarded the plane at Los
Angeles. Their loud laughter re-
sounded through the ship and
drew the attention Of other pas
sengers.
One spirited a bottle of whisky
aboard and it passed from n to
the other frequently, in violation
of both airline and government
regulations.
Stewardess Martha Rundahl and
Capt. Fred Wahl, the pilot, order
ed Barrett and Murphy to sur
render their bottle when attention
was called to it by their boistrous
conduct. They gave up the bottle
and quieted down for a short
while. But when the plane was
less than Is minutes from the air
port here, they broke out into a
violent quarrel.
Police Sergeant E.. A. Duarte OF
Los Angeles, flying here on per-
sonal business on his day off, went
into action.
These planes have three seats
on n SIDE, and there vas a guy
in a seat between these two fell
lows who didn't have anything to
do with the fight" the policeman
said. They were fighting over
him and he was tyring to keep
out of it.
Half the passengers were run
ming up toward the front of the
plane to see the fight and the
other half were running back to
get away from it. Some of them
got down the planes fire extin-
guishers just in case these guys
started coming back toward the
rest of the passengers.">
Sgt. Duarte indicated he had
little trouble quelling the brawl,
although by that time Barrett
welded a dinner knife and had
nicked Murphy's nose.
"As soon as I got there" the
veteran policeman said, II
stepped in, although it was my
day off and 1 wasn't officially
working. l got it under control in
a few minutes and sat between
the guys the rest Of the way.
"Murphy's nose was nicked by
the knife, but it didn't hurt him
much"
Capt. Vail had radioed ahead
to the field here requesting help
and when the plane landed Dep
uty Sheriffs Bob Owens and Will
liam Honrath were waiting. They
took Murphy and Barrett off to
jail for the rest of the night.
After a long study of law books.
officers decided the charge
against the men should be mis-
conduct in a public conveyance.

Harry Claiborne then hailed them
into justice court to answer.
