King Suit
 Being Heard

Attorneys for the Kodiak American Legion Post No. F were given l5 days, on Feb. 13, to prepare a new defense in ap- swer to the suit filed by Father c. R. King last year in which he claimed that the Legion up-. lawfully held ground for which he had previously filed @ lOca~ ton plot.
 The site in question is that on which the Community center stands, and is next door to Fath- Ter Kings residence. Father King, who is represented by At torney William H. Olsen, is ask ing $21, GOO in rents for the pre- perty. The suit is being heard in District Court in Anchorage. The first defense filed by Stanley McCutcheon, represent ing Warren Taylor, Legion counsel, was that the Legion was the rightfu) owner of the land. The demurrer in this defense was overruled.
 The second defense maintain ed that Father King knew the Legion was in possession of the property and gave no sign that the Legion was not entitled to build on it. Olsen's demurrer to this defense was sustained by Judge Anthony J. DimoDd.
 In giving the defendants at- torney l5 days in which to make a new plea, Judge Dimond sand it must contain the information that the Legion had no knowl- edge of Father Kings claim.

Bill Provides Tax
 Increase On Property

A bill increasing the taxing power of cities in the territory to 30 mills has been introduced into Congress by Delegate Bob" Bartlett. The Organic Act now limits incorporated communities to 8 20.m,ll levy.
 Should the bill be passed, an increat e in taxes would not be compulsory but would be up to the council to decide.
 Bal tlett's bill also would al. low the territory to place 8 z0- mill levy on all property within the territory, outside of city li- mits. The territory now has the right to levy 8 l0-miIl assess. ment but has never done 30.

 II have noted that the people of Kodiak and the adjacent area are contemplating the formation of an independent school district. For those cities with consider able wealth lying outside of the city limits, l am convinced that the independent school district is the proper solution to the school problem"

By the Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, R. l., May g.
Striking Providence school teachers

u. n. Charter Revision
Move Slowed Down
By Marshall, Austin

The move in Congress for i'm
mediate revision of the United Ma
tions Charter appeared to have been
slowed down today by the frank
testimony of two American states
men yesterday that it might do
more harm than good at this time.
After listening to Secretary of
State Marshall and Warren R. Aus
tin, chief American delegate to the
U. N, Chairman Eaton of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee told re-
porters:
THE impression that has been
made on me is that it would be
unfortunate, to say the least, to
attempt at this moment a confer
ence for revision, although am
convinced revision will be necessary
as we go along"
Gen. Marshall and Mr.. Austin
agreed it would be possible for
Congress to pass a resolution that
would prove helpful in shaping world
opinion for peace, but without pre-
cipitating showdown that might
break up the U. N. The Secretary
offered to have the State Depart
ment prepare such a resolution, and
it is probable that if the House takes
any action at this session, it will be
in harmony with the administra-
tion's advice.
Representative Vorys of Ohio, an
influential Republican on the COM
mittee, indicated he also is against
having Congress call for charter
revision at this time, but for a diff
ferent reason.
He told reporters he thinks ''the
present administration is not in a
position to carry it out effectively"
He said his fear is that one of
the chief pending resolutions would
go too far in committing Congress
in advance to changes which might
be proposed at a new U. N. con-
vention.
The committee will 60 on with
public hearings for a week or more,
however, before reaching any con-
cluSionS.

WFTU Split Avoided
On Marshall Plan
BY the Associoted Press

ROME, May 6.-Labor sources
here expressed belief today that the
world federation of trade unions
in the future will let each ma
tlonal labor federation decide for
itself its stand on the Marshall
Plan.
A hot dispute on the question of
interference with member feder-
ations pursuing national policies
threatened to wreck the WFTU now
IN session here, but a compromise
last night STAYED off that prospect
A six-man subcommittee formu-
lated the compromise, which, in ef-
feet, keeps leadership of the WFTU
from interfering with the national
policies OF member federations.
Giuseppe di Vittorio, Communist
leader of the italian General Con-
federation of Labor, said after the
executive bureau of the WFTU ac-
cepted the compromise that fears
Rome would be the tomb of the
world labor union" had been dis
PEELED.
James B. Carey of the American
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions, was quoted by Di Vittorio as
saying he believes the WFTU car
now play an important role and be
OF great use to workers.
