Barney Circle Traffic Relief
Al Rush Hours Demanded

A demand that the District Com
missioners do something immedi-
stely to relieve rush-hour traffic
congestion at Barney Circle Sc,
was made last night by the South
east Businessmen's Association.
The association pointed out that
traffic is particularly heavy between
7:30 and $3.50 am, and $50 and
$50 pm.
The group recalled that about a
year ago, the Commissioners prom
ised to relieve the situation but that
it is worse now.
One suggested means of relieving
the bottleneck was placing street.
car tracks underground, eliminat-
ing the circle and providing a
straightaway for traf1c over the
Sousa Bridge.
An association committee last
month completed a report which II
said pertained to the morale OF the
District Fire Department. The
group declared this report will not
be released, however, until another
report on the same subject is re-
leased by Assistant Corporation
Counsel Oliver C. Gasch.
A vote of confidence in the Metro
politan Police Department in gen.
eral and in Maj. Robert j. Barrett
its superintendent, was expressed by
the group. It criticized what II
termed too much unfounded ano
unfair publicity directed at the po-
lice because Of recent cases OF al
legged brutality.

KNOW YOUR
 LEGISLATOR Today: JOHN BuTR0vI(H, JR.

You have perhaps noticed in reading these biographies that the span of years that a man has cen among us usually determines thsir length. Conversely, then, the en tn of this mans story should i've you a hint that he is our ctngest Senatorial member in this
 ighteenth Session.
 Ore of three boys, John Butro- ich, Jr., was born March 22, 1910, ln Fairbanks Creek, Alaska. His N0neer parents mined until their ions were old enough to go to chool, then moved into Fairbanks ghere they have since resided. ohn grew up in this interior city, securing a grade and high school education. In his late teens this all, lanky boy was an outstanding athlete, being especially known brougl- Qlt the Rail Eolt fol iiis fine 2ame of basketball.
 After graduation and preliminary o his present work, MT Butrovich
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-02-19

was employed locally by the North ern Commercial Company and the Standard Oil. In 1886 we went in to an insurance office and after the death of the owner three years later, John, together with two oth- CTS, formed partnership and took the business over under the name of the Alaska Insurance Agency. He became the sole owner in l94l and has since participated in insur- ance and real estate busi ess.
 Married in Fairbanks in 1886 to Miss Grace Meggitt, former Ju- neau girl, they purchased a home and have lived in Fairbanks con- tinuously. They have one daugh- ter, Jan, who is now seven years of age. It is Mrs. Butrovich's hope that she can join her husband be- fore the end of the Session.
 Johns first vote was cast Repub- lican. That was in 1892 when, in his mind, the New Deal" left much to te desired. He further insists that you'll find me a Republican until l die = no fence jumping either, like some of these birdsl"
 Without campaigning, he ran for the Senate in 1943 Securing a large popular vote in his home town, John was defeated by out lying precincts. He then ran for the Senate again in 1944, and was overwhelmingly elected to the 1945- AT Sessions.

Engagement Is
 Announced at
 Beia Sigma Phi

Delta Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi held its regular chapter meeting Tuesday night at the home of Ruth Bader. President lone Williams conducted the business session, dur ing which routine chapter matters were discussed
 Mrs. Dusty" Rhodes, the former Irene Rasmussen, was welcomed by the President. Irene had been one of the active members of Delta Chapter until she moved to Anchor aqa to make her home last year. Visiting her mother in Juneau now, she announced that she would be here for some time, and members are delighted at the chance to re- new old acquaintance.
 Following a tradition of Beta Sigma Phi, Laurene Knowles, Vice President of Delta Chapter, pre- sented a box of candy to the mem ters, announcing her engagement to Mir. Fred Cavanaugh of Juneau, and that the wedding date has been set for March 15. The chapter icined to express the very best wishes to Laurene, and their pleas ure that the newlyweds will con- tinue to make their home in Ju- neau. Laurene has been one of tke most active members of the chapter for the past year and Delta Chapter is glad that she won't be moving away, as is so often the case when the wedding bells ring.
 Literary Director Dorothy Novat- ney led the study program for the evening with a discussion of the tallet, classic and modern. Tracing the history of the dance as an art form, her talk was enlivened by il- lustrations of the basic position of the various dance forms.
 At the close of the evening, re- treatments were served by the hos toss committee, consisting of Ruth Bader and Dorothy Woodward.

by Rep Gs4nick. The bill provides that such officials may travel at Territorial expense when such tra- vel is urgently indicated as being clearly to the advantage of the Territory, it's people or resident in dustries.
 Such trips must, under the terms of this bill, be made by the short est possible route and in the least possible time, and in addition the official making the trip must file with the next ensuing Legislature detailed account Of the trip. showing the purpose, route travelled, amount of Territorial money spent, and time consumed.
 The third bill to appear yester- day afternoon, introduced by Rep. Newell by request, would somewhat expand the powers of the Alaska Housing Authority in connection with an Act passed last year to provide housing for veterans of World War II who are enrolled in educational institutions in Alaska. Through Seccnd Reading
 Other measures which went through second reading in the House yesterday afternoon were: Senate Joint Resolution l, which directs the Welfare Department to pay to the Nome hospital up to S10 per day for the care of Axel Werner; Senate Bill IT, to change the membership of the Board of Administration, and House Bill 2, to provide for direct election of Ma tional Committeeman, Committee women and Delegates and Alter mates to National Conventions. The Board of Administration bill, when it emerged from second read ing, was scarcely recognizable as the measure passed by the Senate a few days ago. The upper body had passed the bill to remove the Governor from the Board sub stituting the Commissioner Of Labor and making the Highway Engineer the chairman.
 An amendment offered by Rep. McCutcheon placed the Governor back on the board, and substituted the Commissioner of Labor for the Commissioner of Education. The motion to adopt the amendment carried B to 10, one absent.
 The Nationai committeeman bill also was somewhat amended in sec end reading, but the amendments were Of Q constructive rather than a destructive nature.
 Amendments offered by Rep Maurice Johnson provide that se- parate ballots be used for the pur- pose of electing the various party officers at the primary election The candidates for party offices would be grouped separately under the names of the two parties, and voters would be required to vote straight ticket" If party lines were jumped on the ballot it would be invalid. The amendments cov- ering these provisions were adopted by 12-11 votes, with one absent.
 The privilege of the floor was eX- tended to former Representative Bess Cross for the remainder of the present session.
 Rep. Walter Huntley, who has been ill for the past two days, re- ported last night that he is feeling better and hoped to be able to at tend today's session.

New Maryland Tax Forms
Simplify Employees Reports
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. s-The in
come tax division of the State con-
troller's Office has taken steps to
make things easier for State en-
ployers in reporting payments OF
salaries to employees.
Two new forms, which CORRESPOND
to reporting forms for the Federal
Government, have been prepared
for employers to give the State in
formation regarding employees in
comes.
One form-5O9- lists the en-
ploye's name, social security num-
Der, total salary, marital status and
the name Of the employer. The
other-509A- shows payments by
firms Of interest, annuity income,
rents Excluding ground rents)
other income, ground rents and
dividends.
Both these forms must be sent to
the income tax division by Febru-
ary Is, annually.
The forms are for use of employ
ers only and while they put the
employees on notice that wages are
subject to income tax, they may not
be used as an individuals return
form as in the case Of the Federal
Government forms.
