Congress Sends One Bill In Month Of Work
(By William F. Arboqast)

WASHINGTON, (A) - Finally organized after a full month in which only one bill was sent to resident Truman, the 80th Con- greSs geared itself today to the No. l business of law making.
 Growing pains" resulting from ,he Congressional reorganization act of last year contributed large ly to the sloWer-than-usual start of the legislative machinery. Among other things, that act com pletely realigned the committee structure of both chambers.
 But with the realignment now complete two major measures may come up for consideration in the Senate and the House during the latter part of this week
 1. Republican leaders are hope ful that the House will get to a vote on legislation limiting the tenure of any President to two terms.
 2. Senate pilots are planning a quick showdown on the House passed war time excise tax rates indefinitely on liquor, furs, cos lneticS and otIer so-called luxuries as well as such things as travel tickets and telephone service.
 Neither branch has considered the Presidential limitation mea- sure, but the Republican high command has scheduled it for a House vote Thursday. It proposes that the question of putting a limit on White House occupancy be de- ded by the states in the form of constitutional amendment. Thir- ty-SiX states would have to ratify { before it could become law.
 Passage of the excise tax bill is virtually certain once it gets around to a vote. The House ap- proved the measure overwhelm- ingly last week.

Dear Tony:

Dear Tony:
 It gives me exceptional pleasure in advising that it was not neces- sary for ANDERSON to take the necessary steps for the abolition of the Alaska Planning & Develop ment Board as someone beat me 10 if. Your free trips to Juneau in this score are OVER and your friend Sundborg can find else where to write books, etc. The article Sundborg wrote you for the Nugget is still pending issue and someone is going to be asked few questions. I find your friend Rogers now in the Cows of flee. He was the best assistance we had in the recent hearing.

was too far in the future to antici- pate any clash of interest with the British and French and their South Pacific possessions.
 James commented with regard to Alaska that the interior depart ment will seek to develop the Ter ritory's commercial fisheries by the clearing of spawning streams, after which efforts will be made to stock inland waters with game fish, as food for the natives and sport for the tourists
 If the available spawning grounds can be increased by 10 per cent and the salmon stocks in crease approximately" Krug wrote, "the expenditure of a few hundred thousand dolalrs now will add more that S5,OOO,OOO to the commercial fisheries of the Territory"

Soviet Lend Lease Canneries Compete With U. s. Firms

'HD opeCldI w dSllnSLOn SerVlce)
 WASHINGTON, (P) - Alaskan salmon packers declared today a dozen lend-lease floating canneries are being operated in Russian Pa cific waters and const ute a threat to their industry.
 The statement was made by w.. C. Arnold, managing dire ctor Of the Alaskan Salmon Industry, Inc, in urging the committee for reel procity information to apr a continuation of the present 25 pc cent duty on salmon imports. Tha committee is gathering informa- ton for state department use in negotiating new trade treaties.
 Arnold added that Russian op- orators of the lend-leaSe canneries, turned over to Russia in 1914 are using Japanese fishermen who formerly worked north Pacific waters for Japan.
 We can't compete with an i'm portation of that kind," Arnold de clared. He added Of course, l don't think the Canadians can either"
 Arnold, who said he has spent 20 years in Alaska, described the Bering Sea, separating Alaska f. om Siberia, as sitting on top of the world like a huge gold fish bowl on top of a pedestal"
 Out there, the Russian ques- ton is a living question:" not an academic one," he said.
 Protection of the Alaska salmon industry also was urged by Rear Admiral Frederick A. Zeusler Cret.) of the Coast Guard, who said Alas kan canneries are of military and naval importance to this country.
 Before 1942, he said, salmon fishing boats were about the only patrol craft the navy has in Alas kan waters. They were responsi- ble, he said, for the sinking of the first Japanese submarine there.
 "If we hadn't had these facili- ties, which were self supporting, we would have been in a pretty bad fix" he continued. "They are of vital importance, and we feel they should be protected"

Magnuson Seeks Relief For
 Alaska Shipping
tBy Charles D. Watkins)

GAP Special Washington Service
 WASHINGTON, LP)-President Truman's request to Congress for extension of provisions of the war powers act for another year was held out today by Senator Magnu- son O. -WashD, as offering relief for Alaska's shipping problems.
 Under the present law the power of the maritime commission to op- crate the Alaska Steamship lines expires February 28. Private op- orators have said they will not take over unless they are given rate increases.
 Magnuson contends that freight and passenger rates to Alaska al ready are too high and that the Territory cannot stand another in crease.
 Extension of the war powers act to give the maritime comm s sion permission to operate steam ship lines where needed for an other year." Magnuson told a re porter, twill give us time to find solution to Alaskas shipping problems.
 "1f Congress approves the ex- tension asked in the residents message Monday we can then plead Alaska's case with the mar itime commission.
 The service would continuc to the Territory without interrupt on and meantime Congress could get to work on a solution.
 Congress granted an extel-ion last year so the Alaskan service could be continued and the situa- ton is more critical now"
 Senator Magnuson and Delegate Bartlett, said they would urge ap- proval of the extension and appru- priation of money needed for gov ernment operation of the snip lines. The operation is now done with the companies acting as agents for the commission.
 Extension of the war powers act" Bartlett also told a reporter, twill solve the critical situation for the time being and we may be able to work out solution"
 After a conference between the ship owners and a House mer- chant marine committee last week, Bartlett quoted the owners as say ing that if Alaska protested pro- posed increased rates, demanded

 The Alaska legislature voted yesterday to intervene in the rate case and demand hearings on the justness of the proposed new tar ifs.
 This would have the effect of suspending the rates until after maritime commission hearings.

Oh, l have already! When Miss

plans she had been making.
AT the same time she thought
OF her fathers check, hidden
away. On, she'd like to use it for
these expenses that meant Nellie!

penny! But there was Bills pride
to keep in mind, and she must
not offend it by the slightest sug-
gestlon. The deed to the little
mouse in the country lay with the
check. She had not spoken of it
since that evening in the hospital.
1 won't be sorry when she
goes" Bill said, a little savagely.
She makes me feel l haven't any
right to lay a hand on my w
child! I can't take a step without
running into her! Or a shower!

comes tapping at the door for
something or other!"
Diane rumpled his hair. sPoor
Bill! I suppose all fathers have to
go through with that! But it'll be
different. you'll find, in a few
weeks Nellie's SO good, so well!
We don't know she's around"

the little crease between Bills

"Another month and I'll have to
start in on my campaign. There
may be a fight in the primaries,

She wants me to 60 owe there for
a few minutes. Something's upset

Diane said quickly: IT can battle

week I'll be doing it anyway"
Miss Tierney got the bath things

into a street dress, went off. And
Diane bathed the baby, nursed
her, laid her sleeping in the bassi-
net.
"She was as good as gold" she
told Miss Tierney when Miss Tier

ritual.
She said, feeling kind to all the
world: II hope it wasn't anything

NEGRO HOSPITAL
MAY CLOSE DOORS
Institution Seeking Increas-
ed Appropriations From
City, County

w. D. McCaig, chairman Of the
board of managers, said yesterday
that the Community hospital will
close its doors unless increased
appropriations are made by the
city and county governments.
A representative Of the Duke en-
dowment will probably make a
survey Of the institution. McCaig
said, and will be assisted by John
Rankin, superintendent of James
Walker Memorial hospital.
City Manager j. R. Benson has
made a request to the James Walk
err board of managers for the
services Of Rankin in making the
survey.
McCaig said that the New Han
over board OF commissioners will
probably consider a like request.
McCaig said that a survey Of
the institution had been approved
by the hospital board and he de.
clared that the 1000, 900 colored
institution would end the year in
the red-$12,o 600 according to a
source close to the hospital-and
that some action must be taken.
No official investigation has been
made of the endowment as yet,
but the Duke survey would be
made in an unofficial capacity.
The bulk of the patients being
Treated are living on decreased in
comes making it impossible for
them to pay and the Duke endow-
ment pays 81 a day for charity
patients.
1.-The income has not covered ex-
penses and the board recognizes
something must be DONE" McCaig
said, "and with this thought in
mind the board went on record as
favoring a survey hoping the men
making it could tell us what we
must do to correct the situation"
The chairman pointed out that
the patient load is only so a day
which will not bring in sufficient
income to pay as most of them
are charity patients.
