JUNEAU, CP) - Delegate Bart lett says he has been informed the Senate has passed and sent to the President a bill repeating the so- called Alaska Fund act.

Never Scheduled B-47's To Be Built In Seattle

SEATTLE. (P)-Defense secre- tary Louis Johnson answered pro- tests against transfer of military aircraft production from BOeing Airplane company to the midwest last night with the assertion that it's all a misunderstanding.
 na signed statement to Senator Cain R.-WashD, Johnson said that BAY production now being done al Wichita, Kas., by Boeing was not transferred from the Seattle plant"
 Tt was never intended 10 manu- facture this airplane at Seattle, Johnson asserted. "The air force gave this matter grave considera- tion from the very beginning and decided that this should not be done. The Boeing company origin ally advocated the Seattle location, but later agreed with the air force position that the work should be undertaken in Wichita"
 Johnson's statement was imme- diately attacked by E. L. Skeel, chairman of the chamber of com merce steering committee fighting to retain the Boeing payroll.
 I surmise that Boeing did not think it best to build BATS at Wichita, but was told that it would have to build them there or not at all," Skeel said.
 The defense secretary said econ omy and completion of cOmmer- cial orders for transport aircraft were responsible for the impend- ing curtailment of Seattle opera tiOnS.
 He predicted the Boeing- Seattle work force would be cut to about 10,400 workers with the compile ton of the air force B-50 contract in September, 1850 The capacity WOrklOad has been around 26,OOO

WASHINGTON, CP) A tenta- tive plan for helping Britain out of it's financial crisis is expected to- day from final discussions of American, British and Canadian fact-finding officials.
 Representatives of the three gov ernments have been meeting twice daily for tn past week to eX- plore the problem. Tehy hope 10 complete an agenda today that will permit their foreign ministers next week to discuss Stop-gap measures to ease teh drain on Bri- tain's dWindling reserves. But of ficialS agree they will not by them selves solve Britain'S long-range problem: it's inability to earn enough dollars to pay for what il buys from the United States and Canada.
 The basic solution to this is be- lieved to be an intensive drive by the labor government to reduce British production costs and thus make it easier for British products to compete in the world market.

!cM.y'.: Tidbits

The Kodiak Electric Associ- atlon extended a new courtesy to some of it's members Mon day, when the lights went out. AL the business houses in town that could be contacted were advised that the power would be off for a short period.
 Since we knew in advance that it would be off, we could let people know" the KEA office force which did the phoning said. Usually, it goes off unexpectedly" One young woman who is employed at work that can't be done easily without the help of the lights (typesetting as a matter of fact) decided she wouldn't waste the time she couldn't work. 'I think I'll go home and do my iron ing for an hour" she an nOunced!
 Parents of school children reported some of the young sters came home in a rush Monday, and the kids admitt- ed they left the school grounds the minute they were dismiss sed early, for fear the lights would come on again and classes might resume.
 A familiar Kodiak character seems to have disappeared. At least he hast been seen for 2 weeks. He is Tom, 13-year old giant orange tom cat that for years was a fixture of the W. J. Erskine Co. store, and was apparently part of the assets purchased by Donnelley and Acheson. Bob Acheson reports he Just disappeared.
 Copies of Tewesbury's new Alaska Almanac have reached Kodiak, and have some good pictures of local scenes not only in the Kodiak section but throughout the book. Some of the captions are a bit astray however, among them one that calls the Kodiak Mirror a '4-page weekly", and says it is distributed on Broadway Avenue. ..
 Probably the only person who wasn't worried Tuesday night when Professor Reilly borrowed Mrs. Ralph Scott's wedding ring for his magic act was Mrs. Scott herself.
 At a magic show which he presented previously for the children at the Mission, Mrs. Scott had offered her ring, and it had been returned to her, finally, inside an orange tied in a blue ribbon.
 ''No, I wasn't planted in the audience, Tuesday," she said. But I was curious as to how I would get the ring back this time, as there weren't any oranges around, so l VOL
