Senate Republican Leader White,
conceding it would be virtually i'm
possible to force vote any time
today, said another effort to reach
agreement for vote Monday would
be made when Senator Morse fin
ished talking.
So far. Senator Taylor. former
cowboy and professional entertainer
has borne the brunt of the endur-
ance contest. Until midnight he
regaled the crowds in the galleries
with adecdotes of his earlier career,
but his 8 hours and 20 minutes of
continuous oratory falls far short of
the record.
Smoot Set Record.
Back in 1915 the late Senator
smoot, Republican, of Utah set what
is regarded as the record by holding
the floor for IL hours and Is min
utes. without any interruptions or
such breathing spells as are pro-
vided by quorum calls. Senator
Smoot was debating ship purchase
bill
At least two other Senators since
the turn of the century have left
their names on the record books for
long distance oratory, even exceed
ing Senator Smoot's 1915 perform
ance. In these other cases, however
there were intervening quorum calls
and other interruptions.
The elder Senator La Toilette OF
Wisconsin held the floor for 10 hours
and 23 minutes on May 20 and 80

vreeland currency bill.

would vote to override.
The attitude of Senator O'Conor
Democrat. of Maryland, who voted
for the bill, remained in doubt
Senator Aiken, Republican, of
Vermont, a previous supporter of the
measure who declined the White
House invitation, said he hasn't
made up his mind what he would
do about the veto.
Democratic Leader Barkley, sup
porting the President, said the veto
will be right hard to sustain
Thomas Reported Hurrying Here.
Another Democratic strategist
who declined use of his name, said
the Presidents camp lacked about
four votes to reach the one-third-
plus-one it needed to uphold the
veto.
The White House. giving every
evidence that the President was
trying valiantly to make his re-
lection of the bill stick, was reported
to have communicated with Sen
ator Tobey, Republican, of New
Mexico, in New Hampshire. Sen
ator Tobey, who was absent on the
May 13 vote, was regarded by Re
publican hackers OF the bill as an
uncertain quantity.

supporter of the veto, was reported
without confirmat tion here, to have
left Geneva by plane to hasten here

gagged in wildcat strikes simply is
not so"
Noting also that Mr.. Truman
had objected to a section which
gives employers the right to petition
for an election, Senator Taft said
surely employers ought to have
that right.
He said it was astonishing" to
find the President objecting to a
provision designed to bar Commu-
nists from union leadership
Explaining that it only requires
union officers to file afidavits stating
whether they are Communists and
whether they favor overthrow OF the
Government by force, the speaker
said:
why should union officers refuse
to sign if they are not Communists?
And why should their unions be
certified If they are Communists?
One Objective in Legislation.
The Ohio Senator said there is
hardly sentence of the Presi-
dents message which is not open to
direct challenge" ..,.........ss
He declared that the House and
Senate Labor Committees had only
one aim in drafting the labor legis-
lation-to restore equality in COL
lective bargaining"
Complaints by unions against the
bill, Senator Taft said, are "a COM
plete tissue of Justification He
added that it was "discouraging to
find the President yielding to their
arguments.
In the Senate debate the Taft
charge that the presidential message
followed the lines of the PreSSman
memorandum brought a warm re-
joinder from Senator Pepper, Dem
ocrat, of Florida. who denied what
he, called the Ihioan's "innuendo"
that the labor document was the
basis for the message.
Senator Pepper said the sugges-
tion was, unworthy" of Senator
Taft.
The Ohioan responded that he
wasn't suggesting anything He said
he was merely pointing out that the
Pressman memorandum was put in
the Congressional Record some time
ago by Senator Murray, Democrat.
Of Montana, and that the Truman
message follows 1t almost point by

Cain Heads Senate Conferees.
| Senator Cain, chairman of the
Fiscal Subcommittee Of the Senate
District Committee, who successfully
piloted both the revenue and teach
ers' pay bills through the Senate,
was named head of the Senate con-
ferees with the House on the two
bills. The other two Senate man
ayers are Senators Flanders, Re-
publican, of Vermont and McGrath,
Democrat, of Rhode Island.
The new revenue program is ex-
pected to produce at least $13, SOC, 900
more funds for the District, suffi-
cient to meet the anticipated 1948
deficit if Congress makes $4,000, 900
slash in the proposed budget of
nearly s99, 100000.
The Senate action on the revenue
bill upset the hopes of Representa-
tive Koran. Republican. of Wash
ington, head of the House Appro-
priations Subcommittee handling
the District budget. Staunch advo-
cate of a general per cent sales
tax, he had declared its adoption
mandatory to provide sufficient
funds for large-scale immediate ex-
pansion of school buildings to elm
mate part-time classes.
Visibly disturbed over the Senate's
action in ignoring the sales tax
plan. Mr.. Horan said it meant he
would have to cut appropriations by
81 500 900. The only alternative, he
indicated, would be a long-term
Federal loan.
Harmony on Many Points.
The sales tax figured only Incl
dentally in the Senate discussion
Senator Cain said he personally has
no objection to it but that the Joint
House Senate Fiscal Subcommittee
that wrote the revenue bill had con-
cluded it was not proper to use a
sales levy as base for the new
finance plan The House has voted
down a sales tax proposal.
Other features of the revenue bill,
now approved by both houses and no
longer in doubt, assuming final
passage of the measure. include:
A boost in the Federal payment
from the s8.000,0o to $4,000, 600;
an increase in the real estate and
personal property tax rate from
SITS to 50 per $100 of value, to raise
an extra 81 ,000, 900 or more: a one
cent increase in the gasoline tax to
cents gallon, for an extra 81 $780,
900; Is per cent boost in water
rates, to add 100000 to the water
fund: and doubling of the annual
50-cent fee for mechanical inspec-
tion of automobiles, for an extra
s65. 900 a year, making the service
self supporting.
The, income tax section includes
new provisions for levying per
cent business franchise tax on un-
incorporated businesses, with ex-
emptions of incomes up to $4,000,
now subject only to the to per
cent personal income levy

Bill Operates Both Ways.

The administration of the Wagner
Act by the National Labor Relations
Board made 1t so one-sided as to
produce a general public demand
that the law operate both ways. This
is the effect of the new bill. The
only new limitation on collective
bargaining relates to the closed and
union shops.
The closed and union shops have
developed to such an extent as to
make it almost impossible for men
to get a job unless they join the
union and impossible to hold job
If they offend the union leaders.
Our regulation of welfare funds re-
quires only that every employe have
a legal and enforceable right in the
fund so it is not in the arbitrary
discretion Of the labor union leaders
to give or not to give.
These huge funds should Of course

MANY TRAVELING
 VIA HIGHWAY 10 ALASKA SECTIONS
Customs Report Shows ,, o16 Entered Territory
 Through } Points

The U s. Customs Office il Juneau today revealed that 591t persons entered Alaska via the 1 Alaska highway during the past fiscal year According to current travel regulations, only Alaskan residents or persons having legiti- mate business reasons, are permit ted to travel on the highway The Customs records showed that en- try was made through three points in Alaska Fairbanks, Tok Junc- ton and Haines
 Tok Junction was the busiest point. A total of 1,944 private autos carrying 4,629 passengers en- tered there Also passing through Tok were 11o busses carrying 4l9 passengers. In June, 535 autos carrying 1,432 passengers arrived at Tok besides II buses and 59 passengers.

MEMBERSHIP IN ELKS iNCREASING
 HERE, IN NATION

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has mere than doubled since Pearl Har- bor, some 510,0o0 new applicants having been accepted during the past five years or so, according to Victor Power, Exalted Ruler of Ju- neau Lodge, No. APO, who has re- ceived figures from officials of the Grand Lodge. Elks throughout the nation now number more than 100000,
 One of the major reasons for the addition of thousands of young men who were in the Armed Ser vices is believed to be their exper- fences with various Elks. Canteens and hospitality centsrs during the War These were located in practically all embarkation and de- barkation areas, as well as most major centers of population. These hospitality centers offered not only social recreation, but focd at very reasonable prices and, in many cases, sleeping accomclations. Hundreds of thousands of boys and girls away from home found temporary haven at Elks centers.
 Even today the E.ks are main- taining visiting services to some l46 hospitals throughout the na- ton. These are the institutions when men suffering from wounds and physical disabilities as a result of the war are recuperating.
 The Elks had more than SO000 members in the Armed Services, of whom 2O00 were killed The order has no religious, political CT com mercial interests or activities
 Membership in the local lodge has kept pace with the national increase. Lodge No. APO had some 56O members when the war troke out in 1941 It now number 1,200 members.
 This postwar increase in mem bership is in harmony with the tra- dition of the Elks, according to EX- alted Ruler Victor Power The Or der was founded immediately after the Civil War, when social and economic conditions were unsettled and postwar problems were rife. It grew in size, following World War L History again seems to be repeating itself.
