The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-The world knew what President Truman said when he walked onto the Senate floor the other day and occupied his old seat, but not many people knew what happened in Leslie Biffle's office just before the President de- cided to ike this unprecedented step.
 Once before, the day of his inau- guration, Rifle. who is head of the Democratic Policy Committee, had talked Truman out of appearing on the Senate floor. But this time it was Biifle who dared him to do it.
 Nothing sensational occurred at the luncheon which preceded the Presidents nostalgia return to the Senate floor After some good tured ribbing by Illinois lanky Scott Lucas about Truman's red white-and- blue bow tie with hand kerchief to match, which Ken tuckys Barkley said was not as good as his, Biffle dared the Pres ident to step across from the pri- -

 Honored guests last night, in ad- dition to the Derby entries, were the parents and advisors of the Sitka boys, who promise to come back next year with some tough entries as a result of the exper- fence gained in this years race.
 Homer Garvin acted as toast master. Don Skuse, Juneau's Soap Box Derby King who is proud of the title, gave the main address, stressing the importance of the Derby to the youngsters. Skuse expressed his appreciation to all of the people of Juneau who work ed to help make the Derby this year the best conducted so far. He said that when I asked for help got it all the way without ques- tion.'
 He stressed also the importance of safety precautions at the track, expressing hope that some means will be found to put up a more confining barrier to keep specta- tors off the track and thereby avoiding a tragedy which would spoil derby. He urged all of the people of Juneau to give their cooperation toward making next years derby even bigger and bet ter Skuse pointed out that many of the youngsters do not have an adequate shop in which to build their cars, and such place must be found before next year.

House Has Song Fesf-Leff- over Leuisdiion for
 Camp 1ign Material
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL

WASHINGTON, July 28.-lR- Sign posts pointing toward team work with the White House on world affairs. slugging matches on domestic problems and hot 1948 election issues stand out along the rough road the 3Oth Congress trav- eled to its owr halfway mark.
 The first session crashed to a close in SCl.t.y's early hours.
 Adjournment until January-un- less President Truman or Republican leaders call an emergency session sooner-shct. off a raucous, roaring political scrap in the Senate and a back-slapping, rollicking song fest in the House.
 Weary members now are beating g path back home to find out what the people think of this first 'streamlinad" Congress, this first Republican-c controlled Congress in a decade and a half.
 The grass roots reaction is im- portant. Top issues already are shaping up for next years cleo tioneering for President, all 435 House members and 32 of the S6 Senaors. For instance:
 Election Material
 There are taxes and labor, the high cost of living and the high cost of government.
 And there are enough legislative leftovers for the next session to concoct a sizeable dish of political controversies.
 Held on the hook until next win ter were such measures as univer- sal military training, long range housing, military cooperation with Latin America, a minimum wage boost for the lowest paid interstate workers and loyalty checks on gov- ernment workers.
 Political Battle Royal
 It was political battle royal in the Senate that kept Congress on the job on a Sabbath for the first time since 1929.
 Democrats had succeeded in blocking Republican bid for a full-scale investigation into Attor- ney General Clark's handling of vote fraud charges in Kansas City.
 Senator Brewster tR-Me) tried to get even by preventing approval of the nomination of Philip D. Perlman o1 Baltimore to be Solici- tor General, top-rank spot under Clark.
 Tempers were raw and faces flushed after Senator Ferguson CR-Mich) complained that the Democrats had filibustered against the vote fraud inquiry and Senator Connally tD-Tex) came back with

STATE DEPT. PRESSED FOR
 FISH ACTION
Ask Why Delay in Handling Num-
 erous Tough Problems

WASHINGTON, July 28-tR- Two Senators and Representative insisted today the State Depart ment act more speedily on "numer- GUS international fisheries prob- lens" now pending before it.
 Rep. Tollcfson -Wash), chair man of the House Merchant Mar inc and Fisheries Subcommittee on salt water fish, Senator Saltonstall Mass and Senator Magnuson D-Wash) asked in letters to the State Department what was caus- ing the Departments delay.
 Tollefson, who wrote a letter for himself and Saltonstall, said 1t was not in criticism but that the fishing industry is very much con- cerned and expected that progress would have been made before this in establishment of Pacific Ocean conservation zones.
 Protect Salmon
 Tt seems to us that it is highly important that something be done to establish conservation zones off the west coast of the United States and Alaska to protect our salmon and other fisheries" Tollefson wrote.
 The question arises as to whe- ther something along this line should not be done in advance Of consideration of the Japanese peace treaty which it is understood is pending
 Tollefson said that in addition there are a host of other inter

MILLS FOR ALASKA
 ARE ON WAY
Each Plant Will Support Population of 6,OOO
 of More

WASHINGTON, July 23-tA- Legislation designed to establish newsprint industry in Alaska was given Senatoria approval and sent to the White House shortly before adjournment Saturday, and Senator Capehart ,R-Ind), said he is study ing the possibility of requiring that part of sny newsprint produced in the Territory be allotted to small newspapers.
 Capehart is chairman of a Sen ate newsrrint subcommittee that plans to leave Seattle Aug. 28 to make an on-the-spot investigation of establishing five mills in Alas ka's vast rongass National Forest.
 Two companies are understood to be ready to bid for the timber and to start immediate construc- tion of paper mills in Alaska.
 Capehart, estimating that each of the five proposed mills will be able to produce 100000 tons of newsprint annually said he hopes that msars may be found to guard against all the Alaska production being taken by the big newspa- pers He suggested the possibility of stipulations in lease contracts as che means of accomplishing the purpose.
 The measure passed by Congress would permit the Agriculture De- partment to contract to furnish paper companies with continuing supply of timber to be cut on a sustained yield basis.
 The legislation provides that money from timber sales shall be held in the treasury until rights of native Indian claimants to the lorest areas are determined.
 Capehars said the committee will look into the Indian claims but that legislation dealing with this phase of the problems will fall to the Public Lands Committee. Planning to make the trip with Capehart are Senators Cain, tR- Wash), Ellender, tD-La). and Mur- ray. D-Mont). The first stop on their itinerary will be Ketchikan. Other stops have not been deter mined.
 Voice Vote The timber legislation was passed by a voice vote Saturday night. Forest Service officials said it will permit tie establishment of five $50 0,0o0oo paper mills in the Terri tory.
 Officials testified before Con- gressional committees that the bill would lead to the establishment at each mill of a town of coco popula- tion or more.
 Juneau representative Norman c. Baniield who was sent to Washing on to support the legislation by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, said the legislature passed at the last minute" without amendment. Washington State Senators Harry Cain and Warren Magnuson camp ed on each side of Taft, said Ban- field, and got him to request Sen
