MAY MAKE CEMENT Al
 SELD0viA
Plant with Capacity of 600 Barrel Per Day May Be
 Moved from Idaho
By VERN HAUGLAND

WASHINGTON, March 27.-tR- Four operators of an Alaskan coal mine have informed the Interior Department they contemplate the construction of cement plant on tidewater a mile north of Sel- dovia, Alaska.
 The plant would tap 500,000 ton limestone bed, known as Grey Cliff, discovered by Parker A Lyle and Charles B. Abbott of Anchorage two years ago.
 Lyle, Abbott, Basil Sinclair of Anchorage and Dean Peterson of Portland, Ore, partners in the Ho- mer Alaska Coal Corporation, in- formed the Department, officials said, that they wish to establish the Alaska Cement Company. with a plant capacity of GOO barrels of cement a day.
 They said military construction now planned in Alaska would de- mand the entire output of plant of that size for the next five or 10 years.
 A civilian pre-mixed concrete plant in Anchorage now uses 18,- coo barrels a year, 10 percent of the proposed plants capacity
 The operators propose to ship gypsum from Seattle, and they es- timate they would need 800 tons a year. They also contemplate pos sible development of a bed of high grade gypsum on Chichagof Island west of Juneau.
 They estimate they would need 60 to 75 tons of coal day for the kiln and to produce electric power. This, they say, the Homer Coal Corporation, across the bay on the Kenai Peninsula, could deliver by barge.
 The Alaskans have been nego tiating for more than two years for the purchase of the Orofino, Idaho, cement plant of the Wash ington- Idaho Lime Products of Spokane, Wash. The plants 6O0- barrel a day capacity could be doubled with the addition of an other kiln and tube-mill. They said most of the operating en- ployees of the Orofino plant have signified their willingness to transfer to Alaska should the plant be sold.

LEGISLATURE NOW ON LAST WORKING DAY

The Eighteenth Legislature started this morning on it's 60th and last day of regular session, a day which may legally continue until 10 o'clock tomorrow fore- noon, according to Attorney Gen eral Ralph J. Rivers. It appeared at noon today that the two houses will remain in session until very near the deadline
 In half-hour forenoon session today the House received several committee reports and placed a number of measures on it's calen- dar but did nothing about those already there An effort by Rep. Pollard to have H. B. AT, which would place the Territory in the wholesale liquor business, brought out for action, was voted down. The House then recessed for joint session with the Senate on confirmations, after which it re- cessed until 1:30 p. m.
 In Senate
 The Senate marked time this morning while waiting for the gen. eral appropriations bill to come ever from the House, meanwhile carrying on at times heated dis cussion of the Pioneers Home re- port.
 Findings of the committee, as set forth in the report, were up- held by Senator Brownell and sup ported by Senator Collins, Henry Roden, member of the Board of Trustees, took the stand and plead ed that the new board had not yet had sufficient time to make desired changes and that the new uperintendent had been handi- capped by shortages of both help ard materials.
 Neither House nor Senate had acted on the Pioneers Home re- port up until noon.
 Appropriation Bill
 The Senate was expected to start work on the appropriations bill when it convened again at l3O and to be occupied with that dur ing most of the afternoon and perhaps on into the evening.
 The House has yet to act on the salmon case tax and has the bill to create an Acronautics Commis- sion at the head of its calendar. Also still alive are a couple of sales tax measures which might possibly come up for action before final adjournment.
 Each body was working short handed today, Senator Frank Pera- trovich and Rep. L. E. Ost both being absent because of illness.

Ousfed Reporter Calls
Spain Largest Prison
BY the As.eeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, April 16.-Francis
q. Mcmahon, New York Post CORE
spondent whose press credentials
were lifted by the Spanish govern
ment, said on his arrival at La
Guardia Field yesterday that he
felt he had just left zone of the
largest prisons in the world"
A State Department protest in
his behalf to the Foreign Ministry
last week was unsuccessful.
Mr.. Mcmahon described Franco
Spain as "a prison housing Is .O00.-
900 people, some of the finest people
1 have ever met" and said "the vast
majority Of people are against the
Franco regime"
He said his difficulty with the
government arose from one of his
dispatches quoting an attack by a
Falange Official Franco Party uni
versity newspapers attack on For
eign Minister Martin Artajo, charg-
ing him with engaging in shady
deals" The writer said the dis
patch was intercepted and never
reached the Post.
Mr.. Mcmahon said Artajo charged
him with prejudice and said his
articles 'had consistency shown
unmeasured hostility against the
Franco regime"
There is no press freedom for
foreign correspondents in Spain,
They are making an attempt to tell
the world there is, but I fear that
guided by the experience of a few
correspondents in the past year,
there Is no basis for the assertion
that the foreign press enjoys free
dam In SPAIN" the correspondent
said.
