 Voting against the bil| were five Democrats and two Republicans. Democrats were Reps Franklin Hope, Jensen, Rydeen and Taylor and Republicans were Miscoyich and Frank L. Johnson.
 The bill was virtually in the same form as presented al tha re cent special session.
 Biggest fight was over the par- Sonal property exemption which, after much wrangHng, was set at $2 500 on personal property At tempts to slip in an equal eXemp- ton for real property failed.

 People at the polls said they wanted a general property tax. Let's remember their mandate"
 Rep Marcus Jensen. Democrat of Douglas, warned that legislators would be sorry later He argued that the tax was not based on abil- ity to pay and will make the Territory look like a secondhand store with it's many properties on the auction block

 Rep Red Carlson, Democrat of Cordova described the fishermen as the forgotten men in argu- ing for a 5000 personal exemp- tion to cover boats and nets.
 Rep Alfred Owen, Kodiak Dem ocrat and fishermen's union busi- ness agent, declared:
 "Fishermen are going to ask for things from this legislature and I think they are willing to bear their share The fishermen's feel ings are being over-played"
 Owen, one of the most insistent for prompt passage of the bill, added: We can come back as the first statehood legislature and take out inequities which might devel- op"

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 8. AN
P)-Acting United Mediator Ralph
j. Bunche has urged the UN Sc
curly council to lift the arms en-
barge in the Middle East.
The embargo-imposed during
the Arab-Jewish armed struggle
came into focus last week when
the British announced that they
were ready to start shipping arms
to Trans-Jordan and Iraq in ac-
cordance with an agreement
reached before the war.
Israel registered strong protest
against the British plan, and the
Bunche recommendation may set
off further protest.
DR.. Bunche told the council all
restrictions, including those on i'm
migration, and imports should be
discontinued. He stated that these
restrictions we're no longer nee
essary since Israel and the Arab
nations have signed an armistice.
3unche added that the armistice
agreements did not include final
peace settlement, but they signal
ed the end of the military phase
of the war:
Meanwhile, opponents of the
Bunche proposals have pointed
out that to lift the embargo is to
give Breat Britain a free hand to
stir up trouble in the Middle East.

mer cautioned that all the attacks
upon Negroes by whites were not
the work Of this gang.
Actually, the responsibility for
the incident and the dilemma
which St. Louis now faces lies at
the door Of many, many people
public officials, civic, religious,
business and labor leaders, not be-

cause Of what they failed to do.
"More than anywhere else, the
responsibility for the tension and
misunderstanding must be placed
at the door Of Missouri's segre-
gated school system"
In his report, Schermer listed
% recommendations on race rela-
tions, chief among which was the
one asking enactment of state
statutes ending mandatory segre-
cation in public schools. The in
vestigator pointed out that the
state constitution provides for a
segregated school system but also
carries ga provision permitting the
abolition Of segregation by sta
tute."
