Seeing The Legislature From The Gallery
By Mildred Hermann

Senator Walkers resignation from the Alaska Senate was tcans- miJted to the Governor Friday at noon, creating quite some excite ment in the legislature and in the town. A copy of the letter was read in the Senate immediately af- ter its transmission to the Cover nor. Cochran then made a speech extOlling Walker and expressing regret that he had taken this ac- ton.
 In a later letter the Governor informed Walker that he had no legal authority either to accept or reject a resignation of a member of the legislature.
 Walker gave as his reasons for resigning that he was at variance with his colleagues in the Senate, that he did not see eye 10 eye with other members of the First Divi- sion delegation and that the only member of the House from his home town had voted against the memorial which asked his appoint ment of Governor when the term of the incumbent Governor ex- pires.
 He said these things made him feel that his usefulness in the leg iSlature was over. Also served mo- tice that he would continue to fight as a private citizen for the removal of those persons from office who do not understand the needs Of Alaska.
 Walker stated the resignation would be effective when consider ation of the tax bills he introduced jointly with Senator Rivers was completed. In his reply the Gov ernor pointed out that that would likely not be till the end of the session anyway.
 The House has passed the bill raising mothers allowances for de- pendent children to $40 for the first child and $20 for each addi- tional child. The Senate recently killed similar bill.

Canadian Dollar Lower In Value

NEW YORK, (P)-The Canadian dollar today was quoted at dis count of 6A per cent, or 93.75, unchanged from the last quotation, the lowest reported since last July.
 Banking authorities said there was no official explanation for this downward trend in the cur rency, but the decline coincided with rumors in Wall Street that a further revaluation was in store.
 Liquidation of long positions, it was said by bankers, may have been caused by sales of Canadian securities by investors in the United States for which they were paid in Dominion currency.
 On July last, the Canadian government begged its dollar at par with the American dollar. It had been fiXed at 10 per cent dis count. Compared with last Satur- days quotation, the Canadian dol lar today showed a loss of 12S cents.

Postmaster Jobs Up In Air

WASHINGTON, PA silent tug-of-war between Senate Repub- licans and Democrats is holding up confirmation of 585 postmaster nominations.
 Not one first, second or third class postmaster-the kind ap- pointed by the President with con- sent of the Senate-has been acted on since the 8Oth Congress opened January B.
 The Republicans, led by Senator Langer of North Dakota, want an investigation of the appointment method. They claim that in some states no Republican postmaster has been named in IA years. The Democrats don't want the inquiry, but appear to be fighting a losing battle.

Security Council Orders Atomic
 Control Program

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. (P) - The United Nations security coun- cil ordered the U. N. atomic ener- gy commission to work out details of an atomic control program as soon as possible and make a public report by Sept. Is.
 The council returned the entire atomic problem to the atomic commission after Warren Austin of the United States and Andrei Gromyko of Russia engaged in an other of their sharp exchanges which showed they still were far apart on atomic control plans.
 Austin said Gromyko'S atomic plans were so weak that they would provoke an atomic arms race and perhaps encourage war.
 Austin proposed that the Soviet American differences be solved in inc atomic commission. The coun- cil voted unanimously to let the commission have another try.
 The atomic commission is com posed of the II nations on the se- curity council, plus Canada. It al- ready has approved the American proposals written by Bernard M. Baruch, but major sections have not been accepted by Poland or Russia.
 The council today instructed the commission to make a progress re- port by Sept. Is, the date of the next U. N: general assembly meet ing. Austin, in proposing this dead line, hinted that the report would show whether an atomic agree ment could ever be reached.
 The commission would not have to complete it's recommenda- tions by that time, but would be required to "develop as promptly as possible" specific proposals and lin due course" write a treaty or treaties, convention or conven- tions" to carry out the control agreement.
 Austin and Gromyko bickered for nearly an hour over the word ing of instructions to the commits sion. But Austin, dropping his usu- ally optimistic air, used his harsh est terms to lambast Russia's atomic proposals.
 They provide a system which at best would give no security, and at worst would be a constant in- centive to distrust and war;" he said.

Stalin and Marshall Likely To Clash
 Over Aid Message

MOSCOW, (P)-Prime minister Stalin is likely to speak his mind to U. $. secretary of state Marshall on President Truman's proposed plans to aid Greece and Turkey when the Soviet leader receives the American secretary, an event which may occur at any time now.
 No Soviet leader thus far has made a public statement on the Presidents declaration, but the Russians certainly must believe that Marshall played a guiding part in shaping the Presidents policy.
 Two of the most important newspapers in the Soviet Union The Communist party paper Pray da and the government organ, 1z- VeStia, have laShed out at the Tru- man plan. Both newspapers dis played a franknesS rarely em- ployed in commenting upon the ac- tionS of the head of a great state. Pravda took up the subject at great length today in an attack similar to the arguments employed Friday by IZveStia. Delegates to the four-poWer foreign ministers conference read at breakfast a charge in Pravda, organ of the Communist party's Moscow Cen tral committee, that the Truman policy did not serve the cause of peace and security and that in the proposal "a policy of imperialist expansion is revealed under the guiSe of charity"
 MOSCOW, t4) - The foreign ministers council convened for it's seventh session today amid expec- tationS that Prime Minister Stalin and U. s. Secretary of State Mar shall soon would have a meeting which might have a far-reaching effect on Soviet American rela- tionS.
 British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin was reported to have draft ed letter to Soviet foreign minis ter V. M. Molotov rejecting Molo- tov's proposal for special confer ence on China.

q Brooklyn Schools
Bar Nativity Carols;
Inquiry Ordered
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 5.-Mayor Will
liam O'Dwyer today directed an in
vestigation of the banning of sing
ing of Christmas carols referring to
the Nativity in % Brooklyn schools.
Assistant superintendent Isaac
Bildersee, in charge of the public
schools of two districts, declared yes
terday in his order:
christmas, and other similar oc-
casions, may be celebrated only as
seasonal, prevacation occurrences.
There must not be any reference IN
dramatizations, songs, or other as
poets of the occasion to any re-
ligious significance involved.
christmas carols with reference
to the Nativity may not be sung,
nor may decorations include reli-
gious symbols of any faith"
Others Offended, He Says.
Mr.. Bildersee, a member of the
Jewish faith, emphasized that his
order applied only to carols of re-
ligious significance. The order was
issued, he said, because songs of
Christian significance and Jewish
significance have been sung in the
schools in recent years and have
given offense to those of the oppo-
site faith"
A general order Of the same pur-
port was issued 40 years ago apply
ing to all New York City schools
the assistant superintendent said
but has not been observed.
Schoo! officials estimated that In
the area under Mr.. Bildersee's charge
there are 10000 pupils, about 10000
of them Jewish.
Yesterdays order drew an i'm
mediate protest from the New York
State Council of the Knights OF
Columbus which termed it IAN insult
to all Christians" and demanded a
public schools investigation to have
the order revoked.
Supported by Superintendent.
DR.. William Jansen, superintend-
ent of New York public schools
said in a statement that Mr.. Bilder-
sees announcement did not bar
the singing of all Christmas carols
II have known Mr.. Bildersee fol
many years." DR.. Jansen added
"and have faith in his attitude
toward persons of other religions
than his own"

order, adding, ut is merely my state
ment Of my judgment in the matter
as to the way Christmas should be
celebrated" in the public schools.
Explaining his order, Mr.. Bilder-
see said personal jollity and merry
making" are fine for the children
of the public schools, but the reli-
gious features of the day should be
eliminated. 1t should not have any
sectarian RELIGIOUS Sipnificance"
