 MORE DISTRIBUTION
 Asserting that he believes there should be wider redistribution of the earnings from the Alaska fish cries, Senator Rivers said that the canning bus ness has been Init and run operation; hit the jackpot and run for home
 "Aa values ami earnings so far cited for the salmon industry are these based on war market" Sena- to- Lyng retorted. "Everything points to drop in all prices and we should wait at least two years to see how the basic taxes effect industry before we pass more drastic special taxes,' Senator Lyny sad.
 Senators Butrovich and Rivers both recited estimated revenues from the new trap tax schedule Senator Rivers naming s2,500,Oo0 during the eisnnium, basing it on figures from the Fish and Wildlife Service: senator Butrovich an- nouncing that the Tax Commission CT had estimated total of S5,000,J00 for the biennium.
 SURPRISE WITNESS
 Before the fish trap argument started yesterday afternoon, Sena- tor Anita Garnick brought in two surprise witnesses on the sail boat tax bill.
 They were David Howard, ST, and William s. Sutton, 10th of Sitka, and 10th of whom have fished in Bristol Bay Both said that they prefer sail to rower for fishing in the hay.
 Advantages to sail, Howard said, are less weight in the boats, more room for fish and cheaper opera tion. Sutton said he didn't believe the bill necessary and that while he had no objection to power boats being used there, he personally pre- ferred sail because the lighter boat could e used in close to the beach where the heaviest runs are found.

 WINNING P-TA BANNER

Because of the late airmail arriv- al of The P-TA attendance banner tLc children of Mrs. Kings class, the second grade of Juneau public schools, who were the victors in the contest to get the most parents cut to the last P-TA meeting, did net have the banner full month. It arrived only last week and was preseinted to them at once.
 The P-TA Executive Board de- cidsd that a special treat should be provided for this class to make up for the short time the banner was in their room during the month of January.

buildings would make it more pal atable to the Senate"
 Rep. Alfred Owen Jr. expressed the belief that having the receipts soming definitely for financing scncsl buildings night result in an interest rate cut ce one-quarter to ore-haH ger cent in the interest rate cn eny tond issue for school burmese Congress allows such a hcnd issGe and the votes decide trey want it.
 Mrs. Gunderscn intarjected we arc always tali1in5 about schcol- houses. What good are sehoo.houses if we don't have teachers? Let's consider the teachers for e change '
 Rep. Bill Egan rctort1d: If we dcn't get schccl houses, we won't nesd taachers.'
 Rep. Glen Fdanklin had opened the discussion with the comment:
 This is a sales tax. I will vote fol it only if it is earmarked for s the schools because I am against eracting sales taxes"
 City Elections
 The city elections bill provoked a lively discussion on the floor.
 Rep. Clarence Heating, author Of the bill and former Seward mayor, declared it would bring stability to city governments to have staggered council terms, with some holding over each time. He said allowing cities to elect mayors for longer terms. if they so desire, also would contribute to stable city policies. He said he had favorable responses from city administrations through out the territory.
 The House refused, however, to make the fall election date the same as the general election.
 Rep. Essie Dale summed up the opposition to that idea with the comment: That would bring two alguments at the same time, and it would be too much. It also wC1l.d mix n9n-partisan city politics with general election party politics" She also said: T think we would be more particular whom we elect il they are going to have longer terms"
 Rep. Marcus Jensen, Douglas, op- posed the bill on the ground that if 6 mayor is @ good one, he will be continued in office, and if he is a bad one, even a one-year term is too long.
 Another argument advanced by several members was that election in the fall will give new city administrations a chance to get their projects -prspared during. the winter so that construction work could start the following spring. Under the present system, they pointed out, it is often full year after election before the new city administrations can launch con- st,uction projects.

DARK SERVICE MAN HERE FOR
 FIELD MEETING

Alfred c. kuehl, Speclal repIeSel- +ativa National Park Service. mem her of the Alaska Field Committee
 meeting in final session here to- day said that a slight expans.on nroorayn for Mckinley National park is planned for the coming sea- son.
 A new superintendent for the mark has been named, Kuehl sald. Grant +. Pearson, former acting superintendent during the war, has returned to take over operation of the park after two years as GUS tcd.an of the Sitka National Monu- ment and the Glacier Bay National Monument. Pearson has been on the staff at Mckinley since 1928, eX- cept for the two-year period at Sitka and two years spent at Yose- mite National Park.
 Taking Pearson's place at Sitka is Ben Miller, well known park service man in this area. Miller cones here from Coulee Dam where he has been since the war.
 The Park Service man reports tiat winter sports activities are in full swing at Mckinley Park and that the hotel there is staying open for the season. During the sev- eral days he spent there, group of 100 Shrinars came in to spend the weekend at the hotel from Fairbanks.
 Included in the expansion pro- gram for the park will be addition al housing for employees, he said,
 Kuehl plans to go from here to Sitka at the end of the week, and then return to home offices in San Francisco.
 Also taking pas :n the final seS- siuns of the Alaska Yield Commit tee meet is Bureau of Land Man. agement regional administrator Lowell M. Puckett, whose office has effected a number of reconversions in delegation Of authority in the matter of land management.
 With agreement by Congress to delegate some of the authority for handling Alaskan land matters to workers in the field, Puckett said that rate of issuance of final cer- tificates has jumped by gratifying figures. Tn October, Puckett said, 15 certificates had been issued for the whole Territory. Tn November, under the new arrangement, T final certificates fer land patents had been issued and by December the number had jumped to 113.
 According to the regional admin istrator, oi particular interest to tllis area should be ruling which allows circumvention of the old Slora Space Law which withdrew 30 reds of land on either side of a land clam along navigable waters. The Bureau Of Land Management now has the right to restore these lands to entry, still, however, he added, taking into account if the area is needed for public docks or sites.
 Credit for the facilitating of land handling must be directed to dis tt:ct land offices, Puckett said, for extended authority has been dele gated to the field men who, now, can handle eases here in Alaska which previously necessitated excess sive smmunications from Wash ington.

 Aboard the AGA plane which left here at AIS yesterday were Rhode, John hIermlc, Ed Krause, and three Alaska Coastal men. Fritz Granere, Del Thompson and pilot Bud Brown
 The plane skinned into the har- Dor with fire fighting equipment aboard just 20 minutes alter Ms. Rhode had called for aid
 With no water available for frs fighting because of the freeze-up, there was no method of controlling the blaze in the comnissary. The fire spread on wires to the adj5in- ing structure.
 Snow UscG
 Fire fighting methods used by the men who went to the scene, Wnilc primitive, are believed to have re- suited in keeping the blaze from spreading to the main Installations. According to their reports they threw snow on a small structure near the commissary which, if caught in the blaze, would have carried the fire into the cannery proper. They worked so close to the blaze that the fur inside their jackets began to scorch and steam, according to one of the men.
 Remaining at the scene last night were Rhode and Ed Krause. Mrs. Rhode and the other men were brought in aboard the AGA plane MI, Rhode is the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. George Anderson of the Anderson Music Supply

New Device Halves Time,
Cost TO Turn Out Pilots

NEW YORK-By means of a
S250.0 900 electronic devise called a
Dehmel flight simulator, pilots
can learn to fly the new double
deck 81, 500. 900 stratocruisers in
less than half the usual time and
at half the usual cost.
This disclosure was made by
Capt. Sam Miller, chief pilot for
Pan American Anyways Atlantic
division. in reviewing his first six
months experience with the de-
vice.
Veteran pilots who ordinarily
would have to spend ten and a
half hours in the air to learn to
fly the new double-deck 81. 500. 900
st%ratocruisers now spend less than
five hours in actual flight.
The device makes pilots experts
in handling problems they are
never likely to meet in years of
actual flying.
