LIFTING THE LID AT JUNEAU
Continued from Page One)

NOllIlllueu lIOIn rage Olle)
 JUNEAU, Feb. 8, 7:30 a.m.- The Senate spent the entire after noon Saturday in a quiz session on the controversial measure pro- posing to make the president of the Senate or the Speaker of the House, rather than the Governor, responsible for the appointment of the tax commissioner also to raise his salary. Sen. o. D. Cochran O. End DivD and Sen. Norman D. Walker D.-lst DivD led the quesr tioning of Mullaney, tax commits sioner relative to qualifications, who explained satisfactorily.
 He also admitted many firms were not paying the veterans tax, but whether the employment of more collectors would justify the expense of going over the books of firms to secure the tax was a question.
 Governor Gruening was ques- toned on why he had not sub mitted the name of the commits sioner following to the Senate, the last session failing to confirm Mul- laney. He replied he had no one with the same qualifications as Mullaney and would have re-sub- mitted his name. He intimated if the Senate was opposed he would place the nomination in the Sem ators' hands to ascertain if they had candidate.
 Sen. McCutcheon introduced House liquor control bill similar to the one introduced at the last ses- sion, for the Territory to take over both the retail and wholesale and operate stores.

Five Nations Sign Peace Treaties

PARIS (P)-Italy and four other nations today signed peace treat ies with the Allies which shear all of treasure and power and take territory from all except Bulgaria.
 The Italian accord, reducing the fledgling republic to a third rate power, had swift repercussions back home.
 A British brigadier was killed in Pola, naval base ceded under the treaty to Yugoslavia, which signed the pact after months of assertions that she would not do so without title to Trieste. The YugoSlav le- gation in Rome was stormed.
 Angry throng jeered at the American, Russian and British em- bassies in Rome and at the home of the constituent assembly which must ratify the treaty. Foreign Minister Carlo Sforza told the aS- Sembly that Italy had stipulated that the treaty could be effective only after the assembly, approved
 The Romanian, Bulgarian, Hun garian and Finnish treaties were inked formally during an after noon session in the clock room of the French foreign ministry. The United States was a party to ali but the Finnish treaty. In all 20 Allied nations participated.
 Italy was stripped of colonies and some of her homeland.

Legislature Busy With Taxes And Liquor Business

Continued From Page One plunge the office into chaos by its not having a tax commissioner. He was advised that this action was proper by the attorney general.
 Cochran set up a case against Governor Greuing in true legal style and with much. junction, cit ing dates and facts at length, but which Gruening promptly demol- ished in so far as the gallery opin- ion was concerned. Gruening said he was amazed when the Senate refused to confirm Mullaney and called Cochran to his office to ask why and was told that the Senate had rule whereby they accepted the recommendations of the dele gation from the Division from which the application came and voted in a bloc for the man ap- proved by his Divisional delegation in the Senate.
 He said First Division men did not approve of Mullaney, hence the bloc voted against him. Gruen- ing reminded him that Mullaney was a resident of the Third Divi- sion and that the Third Division delegation has voted for his con- firmation.
 Cochran denied that he had made any statement about a bloc and eloquently proclaimed that he was not member of any bloc as had been reported over the air. had been reported over the air. Quite session!

Power Shutdown Closes Half Of
 Britain's Industry

Sontlnued From rage one operations entirely.
 Winston Churchill, leader of the parliamentary opposition, joined Attlee in an appeal for popular support of the governments dras- tic orders, but challenged the prime minister to debate tonight the underlying reasons for them. The labor party leaders, in a stormy scene, agreed to the debate.
 The labor government, which converted the coal mines from pri- vate to state ownership Jan. 1, called the coal conservation mea- sures necessary to avert complete disaster"
 Slightly higher temperatures eased momentarily one of the most severe cold waves of the win ter, but the forecast was for colder.
 Most industries and household CTS appeared to be obeying the government directive to throw switches voluntarily on lines where demands for essential serv- ices prevented a complete shut down at the source of supply
 All industries except a few vital to health and welfare were order ed to halt totally or in part in 36 of the GA counties of England and Wales. Consumers were forbidden to use electricity between 9 ann, and noon and from 2 p.m., to 1 pm. in homes, stores, offices and restaurants, affecting an estimated 22,O0O,OO0 people.
 Conservative newspapers de- manded Attlee shake up his labor cabinet, which commands two to one vote in Parliament. The influ- ential Manchester Guardian and London's Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph demanded Eman u Shinwell resign as minister of fuel and power.
 Confusion and chaotic conditions prevailed in many areas. Nearly everywhere, electric current use was cut sharply.
 The London Power company said it was supplying about half its normal load. In the great in dustrial center of Birmingham, factories and the city's million people were put on their honor and electric current usage dropped about 75 per cent.

Democrats To Seek Truman Reelection

WASHINGTON, (P)-A broad side of Lincoln Day addresses seemed likely today to provide the Republican reply to a declaration by Democratic chairman Robert E. Hannegan that his party is ready to call on President Truman to seek reelection.
 Hannegan's statement, made at a New York dinner for postal su- pervisors, was said by White House secretary Charles G. Ross to have been made without MT. Truman's knowledge.
 But there seemed little doubt the postmaster general and nation al chairman spoke the wishes of the party's high command when he asserted after praising the Pres idents handling of foreign and do- meStic problems:
 We have gone far and fast but the task of leading us to peace and plenty is not accomplished in a day nor a year. Until that work is done, we are ready to call upon our President again as the man who has proved himself fit for the job. America will give him the support and loyalty that he de- serves of us through the years ahead"
 Hannegan later replied ives" to a question whether it was his in- tention to throw MT. Truman's hat into the l948 Presidential rir5.
 Most Republicans have thought for some time that President Tru- man is certain to be the choice of the Democrats in the party's l940 convention. Accordingly, tn e IT strategy has been to try to out shine his administration with the:r own handling of Congress and gu bernatorial offices.
 Carroll Reece, Republican na- tional chairman, brushed aside Hannegan's remarks with the com ment that " it is again the voice of Hannegan but the hand of Pen dergast."
 The Pendergast organization in Kansas City which gave MT. Tru- man his start in politics was made a campaign issue by the Republi- cans last fall.

By ROBERT HEWITT

LONDON, Oct 1-iR Life in thit tight little isle" became tigher to- day with the enforcement of new government austeritv measures thai virtually banned foreign holiday travel, wiped out gasoline rations fer pleasure motoring and boosted railway fares 50 per cent above pre- war levels
 Limited direction of labor goes into effect next Monday under an other decree issued by the Labor Government which recently obtain ed from Parliament almost unlimit ed powers to combat Britains eco- ncmic crisis
 The new measures that became effective today, two days after Prime Minister Attlee began his long-ex- pected Cabinet shakeup, are part of the governments program to slash dollar spending and increase production in the hope of erasing the nations grave export import de- ficit by mid-l943
 An advance warning that after Oct. l Britons would no longer be able to exchange sterling for foreign currencies to spend on holidays abroad brought a last vacation rush to the continent and the U s. dur ing September.
 Up to Sept. Britons could spend 75 pounds $500 yearly in foreign pleasure travel. Then the allowance was cut to B pounds CS150, and now it vanishes completely.
 Beginning today the basic petrol ration which permitted aut9mo- bile owners about 300 miles of pleas ure driving a month, will be elimin- ated and gasoline will be reserved in the future solely for priority pur- poses as it was during most of the war.

 Knowing at long last that 1t is useless to strive for home rule piecemeal, we Democrats now urge statehood The late Governor Troy was a great home rule editor and publisher If he were here today. I leel sure that he would be on our side in our struggle for home rule. We have the strength and en- ergy to fight on more than one front at one time" he went on. We have no intention of relaxing our fight against the eXorbitant maritime rates imposed on us. i "SCme officials of two Alaska op- i erat'ng companies made a tour of i the Territory this summer and told the public, All we can profit is { six percent
 Tt is time to expose that non sense" said Bartlett Not a single carrier in the entire American mer- chant marine today enjoys the phencm nal increase in rates which the Alaska carriers hoodwinked the Malitima Commission into grant, ing.
 For year and half, he said, the Territory successfully showed that the carriers were not entitled to the 1l8 percent increase they sought in November, 1945.
 Then the carriers got free ships from the government. and then a 66 percent increase on their pre- war freight rates - all of which adds up roughly to the 118 percent increase which in open hearing they were denied.
 Furthermore" he added, each of the carriers under the Federal ! contract gets ten percent on all the money that is assumed to be neces- sary to run their ships, and if the carriers make any profit in excess of charter hire, insurance and ten ! percent on their assumed needs for working capital, then they get 25 percent on the balance Of such profit.
 The Territory has told the car riers that the new rates would pro- vide four million dollars more than the most liberal estimates of the need shown to be necessary.
 That's q lot of swag for an economy of 85,O0o to 9O,oo0 people to pay Bartlett said
