 AeronautiCs Act

ready for conference action be- tween the two houses, covering the same matter, the Alaska Senate this morning played around bit with Rep. Steve McCutcheon's H. B. SO then voted it down, 5-ll.
 H. B. 50 would have put the Commissioner of Labor on the Board of Administration in place of the Commissioner of Education. S. B. IT went through the Senate designed to have the Labor Com missioner replace the Governor on the Board, but the House amended it into a duplicate of H. B. 50. The Senate rejected the House amendments.
 AS soon as H. B. sos title had been read to the Senators this morning, N R. Walker unceremon- iously moved indefinite postpone ment; but his motion lost, 5-ll. Senator Edward D. Coffey then proposed to knock both the Cover nor and the Education Commis- sioner off the Board and put on the Labor Commissioner to make it an all-elective officer affair. That move lost, 7-9.
 Un-Administrative
 Senator o. D. Cochran then wanted to take off the Commis- sioner of Education and leave off the Labor Commissioner also. He claimed the Labor Commissioners duties are not administrative in the same sense as are the chores of others now on the Board; a statement questioned by Senator Gunnard M. Engebreth.
 The bill was finally advanced without amendment and was de- feated. Senator John Butrovioh Jr. remarked that the Legislature has had a sample of what the La | Dor Commissioner would be sub jected to if he were put on the Board "The man would go insane 
 within a year-he'd get so many wires the Fairbanks Senator opined
 Senator Coffey also had last word: Some people never want to see the Territory grow up' he de- clared. Referring to the Governor, he added. They want that bird" to be chairman of every board. One other House measure was voted down by the Senate this forenoon = Rep. Newell's bill to give hiring preference, in public employment. to war veterans. H. B. 60 lost by a 6 to count, with Coffey absent.
 Abate Bottle Clubs Bills that did get Senate appro- val were Rep. L. E. Ost's H. B. 54, to abate bottle clubs and Rep. Engstrom's H. B. 6, to put of- ficial approval upon marriages per- formed by ritual and to establish procedure for issuing substitute birth certificates showing legiti- mate birth for children born out of wedlock and whose parents have later intermarried The Engstrom measure supplements the adoption law" Senator Cochran's s. B. AT, which passed the upper chamber yesterday.
 Three new bills and two new joint memorials came into the Senate today. One of the memor- ials, s. J. M 20, by Green and Rogge, asks immediate commence ment of negotiations with Canada for exchange. sale, lease or trans fer of so much of the territory lying in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory as may be neces- sary" to allow the entire length of the HainesC utoff to be brought under jurisdiction of the United !
