END IN DIPPING FOR
 TELEPHONE STRIKE


 WASHINGTON Company ana Union officials met yesterday to fu- itiate a proposed settlement o. long distance lines phases of the nationwide telephone strike.
 They rechecked a draft of the proposed agreement before it's sub mission to the long lines union s executive board and then to the policy committee of the national federation of telephone workers.
 An understanding for settlemen, of the long distance end of the strike was reached by negotiators this week, but it had to be put in writing and initialed before fur. ther action.
 One of those familiar with the proposed settlement said it calls for arbitration of four wage issues on national level, with six other major points involved to be settleG on local basis.
 He said the national issues in yolVed are a general pay increase, differential pay, progression to high pay scales and classifications.
 Issues which he said would be left to settlement by local units ot the long distance workers are va. cations, leaves of absence for un. ion officials, definitions of duties of assistants to traffic operator, pensions, union shop and check off and Jurisdiction over work

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISC0PE

One effect of the unbzalanced budget left by the recent legiala ture is the severe setback to Alas ka statehood 4 majority of the voters of the Territory favored statehood at last October's election when the referendum was before them. The Legislature conceded such was the case by passing a memorial asking Congress for an enabling act, but most of it's value, it any, was lost when the same lawmakers approved appropriations for more than ten million against anticipated revenues of something over six million It will be pretty hard to convince a Congressional committee that Alaska is ready to be a state when as a Territory it cant balance its budget.
 The key question always asked by the committee on Territories is. Can you support statehood when Federal support is withdrawn? One Congressional query has already come to the Territory from the House Agricultural Committee ask ing how much was appropriated for agricultural purposes, such as the experimental stations, etc. Congress is keeping an eagle eye on how the Territory is trying to support itself. When it sees the re cord of the recent session with it's unbalanced budget left dangling in the air and no basic tax sturc ture setup with a view of balanc- ing it, the outlook for statehood in the immediate future is far from bright.

 Rep. Harry Newell of Ketchikan has his own interpretation of the recent legislative session in which he was having his first experience.
 Telling Rotarians about it in his home town, Harry put 1t this way:

 Alaska is stepping out in the communications field, thanks to the Alaska Communications Sys- tenn, unit of the Army Signal Corps For some time it has been possible to talk by land telephone from Interior and Westward Alas ka to the States. A few months ago Juneau was cut in by cable connection 10 Skagway. This week Wrangell and other Southeast towns were being put in telephone communication with the world Tests were being run and when these are perfected, commercial traffic between all major Alaska towns and the States will be pos sible.

NEW REGULATIONS ON
 FISH TRAPS ISSUED

SEATTLE - New War Department regulations governing issuance Of permits for construction and main tenance of salmon traps in Alas kan waters have been put into ef- feet, Lieutenant Colonel R. D.. snetzer of the Seattle Army En- gineers district reported this week.
 Snetzer, acting district engineer. said reissuance of permits whiel expired last January 31 for more than 400 Alaska fish traps had been delayed pending word on the new regulations. He said applica- tions for new permits now would be proeessed as rapidly as pOssi- ble.
 Most important of the changes, .Snetzer said, is one providing that permits can be issued for not to exceed five years, instead of on an annual basis as heretofore. Success sive extensions of up to five years will be granted if cireumstances are unchanged.
 Other changes include eliminu- tion of the provision calling for cancellation of the permit if work on the trap is not started within four months of permit date, ana discarding of the 28-day waiting period between date of issuance O. Fish and Wildlife regulations and issuance of War Department per init.
 FWS Makes Rules
 The new regulations retained a provision that more than one per- init may be granted for structures at a site. Issuance of a War De- partment permit is not limited tG areas declared open to fishing by the Fish and Wildlife Service. The permit by the War Department however, merely expresses the as. sent of the Federal government so far as concerns navigation rights. Determination as to whether the site will be fished, and by whom, is function of the Fish and Wild life Service.
 Fish traps must be ready fol inspection on the opening date ol the fishing season unless other ar rangements have been made before hand. A report still must be made of the placement of the trap, ana failure to do so will be considered evidence that the trap was not placed and will make the permit subject to cancellation. Reports formerly required by November | of each year as to the type ana kind of structure fished during the proceeding season need no longer be made, but prior approval must be obtained for changes in loca- tion, size and type of structure

RIVERS GIVES FURTHER
 DETAILS ON FROZEN
 TERRITORIAL ASSETS"

4AAAkAAAA 0AAAGAAA hD1G4D JUNEAU-Some further details were given out this week by at lorney General Ralph Rivers con csrning operations of the Terri tory's business under the Admins tration Board order which wen1 into effect Wednesday freezing ap propriations maue by the Legisia- ture for the 1947-49 biennium.
 The order was made because Of the gap between the estimated Ter. ritorial income and the authorfze1 appropriations created by the Leg islRture, and would halt mainly al. new construction of schools. nos pitals, roads, airfields and boat harbors.
 Going expenses of Territorial of- fees or departments should not be affected by the order. insofar as their regular expenses are concern. ed. Nor, explained the Attorney General, will the order halt pro. jects already started under the previous biennium, or completion of any contracts that may already have been let, or payment of out standing obligations.
 The question of whether the Ter itOry should go ahead with the program of recOmpiling the Laws of Alaska, as provided for by the Legislature, vas taken up espec. lally by the Administrative Board. said MT. Rivers.
 The call for bids was made Be- fore the freezing order went into effect" he stated, and this mat ter will be decided by special board action when the bids arrive
 Rivers added the comment that there was no emergency clause on the bill for recompiling the Laws of Alaska, so that the order cannot go into effect until 90 days after close of the Legislative session.
 Questioned as to the status of the University of Alaska under the order, Rivers explained that its operation and maintenance is taken care of under the public schools. But, as stated in the Ad- ministration Board order, all new construction at the University has been killed until the order is lift ed along with contracts for build ing new rural schools.
 Asked specifically concerning the Territorial Department or Health, the Attorney General said, Generally speaking, the hearth program will be exempt as 'necc3 sary administration expense Of Territorial offices.
 Both the Welfare Department and the H-nlth Department may find it necessary to make certain limitations in the number of cases they can handle, refusing some borderline situations.
 Much if the case money for the Health Department comes from Federally allotted fluids, he ex plained, saying that there is no intention to freeze the disburse- ment of Federally allotted money
 Crippled and dependent childreh will definitey be exempt from the freezing order, and aid vii be a yailable for them.
 So far as the tuberculosis pro. gram is not covered by specific ex emptions, the Board will modify its order insofar as such program is regarded as of the same char acter as the program for indigents end pioneers.
 MT. Rivers stated that there may arise a necessity for a special or der by the Administrative Boaro for the Health Department.

Death Toll Mounts
 In Jerusalem Riots

JERUSALEM, (P) Four Brit ons-two police and two soldiers were slain today in a continuing wave of Palestine underground violence which has cost a toll of II dead and 30 wounded in three days.
 The police were killed on the Jaffa Road in Jerusalem by at tackers who fled on foot. The two soldiers were slain in Tel Aviv by bullets from speeding car.
 Police said the Stern gang, a Jewish underground organization, probably was engaged in cam paign of reprisals.
 Authorities said the two Jeru- salem policemen, both constables, were unarmed and in civilian clothing, on their way to their as- signments in the Mustapha police station, when they were shot in the back.
 However, Jewish sources at the scene said one of the conStableS was armed, and that as he fell he turned and fired at the attackers. They said his shots injured small Jewish girl. The wounded con- stable died later in a hospital.
 Police said a crew of a patrol ling armed car pursued the at tackers through an alleyWay and that one was believed to have been hit by gunfire.
 Police fatalities in the current wave of violence now total four. One was killed and three were wounded in Haifa Tuesday when a gunman, believed by police to have been a Sternist, fired into a coffee shop. Another was killed and one was wounded in Jerusa- lem last night when bombs were tossed into a cafe. A British sol- dier also was killed, and 27 per sons in all were injured in that at tack.
