House Group 10 Start
Hearings Tomorrow
On Mail Rate Rise Bill
BY the Associated Press

An administration bill to in
crease postal rates $253,275 900 a
year. mostly on newspapers, ad-
vertising matter and parcel post,
will start through Congress to-
morrow.
Chairman Murray of the House
Postoffice Committee gave the
signal yesterday for perhaps a
month of hearings.
Before the committee is bill,
that among other things, would
raise the rate on postcards from
a penny to 2 cents, collect $685.
100000 more a year on parcel
post packages. $75,000.000 addi-
tional from newspapers and $685.
100000 from third class mail
circulars and the like.
The Post Office Department is
running in the red something like
s526, 100000 this year and an esti-
mated $400, 100000 next year.
Something has has to be done.
Mr.. Murray said. to make up the
deficit. But he added:
ANY bill we approve must be
fair and reasonable. 1t should not
be too prohibitive or burdensome
or so drastic as to hurt business
or work any undue hardships.
Donaldson to Testify.
Everybody who is interested. Mr..
Murray said. will have a chance
to testify. Particularly. he said.
1--WE want to give the commercial
users of the mails chance to be
heard"
Postmaster General Donaldson
and other Post Office Department
officials will be the first witnesses.
Mr.. Murray said his committee
will take testimony three days a
week until it finishes the job.
Mr.. Donaldson already has told
the committee in letter he con-
siders the second and third class
fees particularly inadequate" )"
Even with the proposed new rates,
he said, the Post Office Depart
ment will take in $15,000,000 less
than it spends.
But that represents the costs OF
Official Government and congress
sional mail, airline subsidies and
other costs the department says
could not be charged to those who
,Ise the y,osta1 Service
These are the proposed new
rates for second class mail:
Publications mailed at post Office
not having city or village letter
carrier service and addressed for
local delivery, including rural and
star route delivery, one cent q
pound.
Rates to Rise at End of Year.
Publications mailed where there
is a city or village delivery service
for local delivery, four cents a
pound and not less than a half
cent per piece for daily and weekly
papers and one cent each for pub
locations issued less often than
weekly.
Zone /, two cents a pound or
fraction; zones and 3, four cents;
zones and S, six cents, zones 6
and 7, eight cents; zone 8, nine
cents.
The minimum zone mailing
charge would be one-fourth OF q
cent for each piece mailed.
These rates would apply to pub
locations having not more than rs
per cent advertising. They would
be Is per cent higher for publica-
tions containing Is to so per cent
advertising, so per cent higher for
those between so and IS per cent,
and double for those with more
than IS per cent advertising.
Second class mailing privileges
would be revoked for publications
carrying more than rs per cent
advertising in more than half their
issues during any IL months.
At the end of a year, all rates
would be increased so per cent.
That would bring in an estimated
$5O,000,000 extra a year.

CHAMBER MAKES
 [DCHAlLENGE TO
 SEATTLE ICE ME N

Seattle ice man with a sharp idea dreamed up a cocktail mixing contest for bartenders to be helo Monday afternoon at the Benjamin franklin Hotel in the Puget Sound city.
 All for fun, it is-with enough ice md ice-talk around to let the bar ,enders and the onlookers know who thought up the whole idea.
 Here in Juneau, one would think that the only attention to be given will be a shade of envy for the iudges who will spend from l to 2 p.m. Monday testing the best in he barkeeps' wares.
 But loyal and sportin' blood cours- ss the veins of the Juneau Cham oer of Commerce. When it comes to talk of ice, they scoff at the pro ducts of the stateside commercial machines. At Juneau, they poin, out, there is million-year-old ice straight from the glacisr-ice su- perior in quality and flavor to tailor made ice from the ice machines.
 As a matter of fact, the Juneau Chamber of Commerce is So sold oli the whole idea that they have challenged all corners in the Seattle making business to a contesl to see which ice will last longer in a cocktail shaker. The c of c claim glacier ice has less air bubbles, SC doesn't melt as fast.
 Pan American Airways will fly g large chunk of glacier ice to Se- attle for the contest planned to ee held at the same time the bar tenders match with the cocktail mixing.
 Rules will be set up and judge appointed to determine whether million-year- old glacier ice is bet ter bet than that whipped up by the seattle ice men.

 Goot dry zone around churches and schools is to be measured. As pass ed by the House the bill would ex- empt clu1s from the 200-foot rule and this feature has drawn good deal of protest. Senator R. M Mac Kenzie requested that the bill be returned to the Judiciary Commit tee for specific amendment.
 HEALING BILL TABLED
 The Non Allopathic Healing Bill came in for rough handling at the hands of the senators. A motion to Indefinitely postpone the measure lost by one vote but motion to table it carried 9-7.
 Senator Howard Lyng, who intro duced the measure, made spirited plea that it be given due ccnsi5er- ation.
 Tine people covered by this bi-l, the chiropractors and chiropodists and others engaged in the healing arts, need protection just as nlrch as the medical doctors and dentists and other professions" Senator Lyn5 said.
 This bill covers just about evefy- thing except witchcraft and hyr- notism,' Senator Barr remalked. I think we have more important mat ters to consider
 The business license tax h.H went through it's second reading and the Taxation Committee amend ments to it were adopted.
 These amendments would exempt manufacturers who do not sell their products direct to the consumer; would set a tax rate of one quarter of one percent on gross sales in ex- cess of sl00,000; would establish tax of two percent on the net in come of banks, trust companies and savings and loan associations, and would specifically tax mail order offices in the Territory.
 BILLS INTRODUCED
 The following bills were intro dueed in the Senate yesterday after noon:
 Authorizing dissolution of incor- rorated and Independent school dis tricts. by Senator Engebreth.

,000 in a community, with present licensees being unaffected; ban ming all persons under 21 from li- quor establishments even with spouse who is of age, and provision for a $2,500 bond which should be forfeited only in case of three con- viction instead of on the first violation.
 The bill as it stood after last nights passage still includes the provision that court clerks or their deputies should issue licenses in- tead of the district judges; that
 lodges or established clubs would ae
 able to get liquor license while in
 ; proximity to a church but not with
 in 200 feet of a school by straight
 !, line; that the court can impose li-
 cense suspension up to AS days for } first offense and up to 90 for the second, instead of a mandatory 45
 or 90 days suspension; that revo-
 cation of license would follow a third conviction
 Franklin succeeded in restoring to
 ; the bill sections, which would have fbeen deleted from the present law, preventing transfer of licenses and
 requiring an operator to make af- fidavit of sole ownership.
 Franklin said the latter provis-
 ion was desirable to make sure big
 liquor operators didn't get string
 'of bars under cover.
 Speaker St anley McCutcheon's
 amendment to create a Depart
 ment of Liquor Enforcement under
 , the Attorney General with deputy !, for each division passed by g to !2 vote after long argument. The principal fight was over the
 provision they would have to be men with at least two years of col lege education. Frank Angerman assailed the provision as 'undeGo- cratic and class legislaticn.' It precipitated a debate over the advantages of a college education. Angerman argued that most Alas
 kans, including himself, would not be eligible under such provision. McCutcheon replied that he wouldn't | he either He added, however, that !. he was desirous of making it man. datory to get the highest caliber men for the positions, and cited that the FBI. will take only college gradu- ateS.
 Angerman finally won most of his point. An amendment was adopted , to provide that a person whose qualifications and experience, in 1 the eyes of the Attorney General, are equal to the college training, would be eligible.
 Franklin, a University of Alaska graduate, opposed the college re- 1uirement wi tn the observation: i that college education is just a tool to help man get farther faster; that we know some grads don't know enough to come ill out of the rain"
 When the long job of tossing in and pulling out amendments was completed, there was opposition to voting on the bill immediately Mrs. Gundersen argued that it should be held over until it could be prepared in final full form so the legislators could see just what they had creat- led.
 Carlson added: I'm glad to see there's some one else who is baffled oy what this contains. So much has Iteen put in and taken out, have | 10 admit I can't vote intelligently on it." He voted against it.
