her demands known. These pans are
primarily for cooking. The home
maker who cans large quantities of
vegetables and meats will need a
pressure canner for safe preserva-
ton of her food.
Many companies recommend ex-
hausting the pressure saucepan to
STEADY flow of steam" Tests were
made in the home economics labora-
tory at Bozeman, and our worker
found that an exhaust period of two
minutes gave the best results for
maintaining the internal tenpera-
ture of the saucepan. A two-minute
exhaust is probably longer than "a
steady flow of steam"
Further tests were made to de-
termine how much fuel was saved
when a pressure cooker was used.
Family portions of potatoes were
cooked in standard pan and in a
pressure saucepan. The gas and cleo
tric meters were read at the begin
ming and at the end of each cook
ing period. In the Bozeman area,
slightly more gas was needed to boil
potatoes than to pressure cook them,
but more electricity was used to
cook potatoes in the pressure sauce
pan than in the ordinary saucepan.
The electric stove had to be turned
to high to build up the pressure and
had to be kept in a relatively high
heat to maintain the pressure. Boil
ing could be maintained when the
| electric stove was turned on a lower
heat. Very little, if any, saving OF
gas or electricity is effected by using
a pressure saucepan unless the cook
ing process is long and even then
the saving is small.
Pressure saucepans involve money
expenditure, and each homemake1

chase in terms of her needs and hel
| own situation. The label of UL (Un-
derwriters Laboratories means thai
the manufacturers asked the labor

this product and that it has been ap
proved, so if you select a pressure
saucepan that has the approval o:
UL, you can have added confidence
in the safety of your pan.
Read the manufacturers direc
tons. Some precautions are the same
for all pressure saucepans. You art
probably familiar with these warn
ings. The most important are: &
do not allow the vent to becom,
clogged, (2) lock the lid in place
(3) watch your pan during the periot
of building up pressure, and thel
lower the heat to maintain the de
sired pressure, and "a do not re
move cover until all the pressure ha
been exhausted through the vent.

May Increase
 Herring Quoia

WASHINGTON, March 12.-lR- After oonferring with Albert Day, chief of the Fish and Wildlife Serv- ice, Rep. Jackson fD-Wash.) pre- dicted yesterday that the Alaska herring quota for 1949 would be in- creased.
 He said that fishermen blame the poor catch of last year on lad weather, not a lack of fish.
 The Service previously recom- menGed that this years catch be held to 15O,0O0 barrels in Southeast Alaska, 250,00O barrels in the Ko- diak area and 100000 barrels in the Prince William Sound region.
 Jackson said this quota represent ed a 50 per cent cut from l948 and fishermen felt a larger catch could be safely authorized.

JOHN 1. CALLS
 2-WEEk STOP IN
 MINE INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, March 12.-lR- A two-week coal shutdown will start in the Eiist Monday as John L. Lewis latest protest against Presi- dent Truman's selection of James Boyd as Bureau of Mines director.
 Lewis announcement stirred swift demands in Congress to keep a big club against major strikes in the impending labor law But it caused little concern over the loss of fuel.
 An abnormal 45-day supply is on band; about 70,00O,000 tons of bi- luminous coal A 30-day backlog is considered normal.
 The move was another in a long series of Lewis attacks against the nomination of Boyd, appointed to the post in March, 1947. Except for five months, he has been serving without the usual $l0,000-a-year salary.
 Lewis insists Boyd is not suited for the pest because he has never &C., tually worked in the mines.

Administration Loses Fight Truman 5 Civil Rights
 Seems Doomed

WASHINGTON, March 12.-tR- Senate Majority Leader Lucas (D- Ill) decided today to push ahead flor the time being-with the at tempt to outlaw fiiibuster by tight ening Senate rules.
 Despite a resounding defeat last night by a combine of Southern Democrats and Republicans, Lucas said: We are going ahead and probably will hold another night sessicn tonight
 Lucas talked to reporters after a closed-door strategy session ot northern and other Democrats sack- ing President Truman's Civil Rights program.
 At the same time Senator Russell D-Ga), floor general for Southern Democrats, who won the first test in the anti-filibuster fight, told re- porters his group is open to any reasonable compromise"
 Previously administration lea d. CTS had indicated they felt the civil rights program may have been as good as defeated after losing last nights battle to gag filibustering.
 Two showdown votes, both 46 to fl, in favor of the Dixie laWmak- CTS, defeated administration efforts to gag debate with a rules change and left senate leaders with tough decision:
 Should they continue the fight and try to outlast the Southerners in the current filibuster now in its twelfth day or should they con- cede defeat and get on with import ant bills like rent control and labor law changes now piling up?
 Whatever their decision, Presi- dent Truman's Civil Rights pro- gram seemed doomed.

nets before and after the season" !"
 In reply to statement that miners caterpillars should be as eligible for special consideration as boats, Carlson jibed:
 You tie a cat up at night and are sure it will be there in the morning when you come back. It's not that way with a boat"
 Senate Actlon uncertain
 The $4 tonnage proposal was be- fore the legislature at the time the property tax bill passed, and was rejected, so the amendments fate in the Senate is uncertain.
 Effective arguments for the ton mage tax were also made.by Reps. Hope and Frank G. Johnson, who described the uncertainties they had experienced as boat owners.
 Rep. Nolan argued for the ton- mage tax on the basis of ease of collection. He said tonnage figures were available at Customs, but that the job of assessing boats, with their wide range of values and wide differences in depreciation, would be a major headache. He predicted the territory could be ahead finan- cially on the lower tonnage basis. He also joined fishermen members in predicting the straight property value tax will drive some of the larger boats to Seattle for registra- tidh.
 Rep. Jensen argued that a boat would have to be run into drydock or onto grid for accurate ap- praisal.
 . Rep. Franklin challenged the con- tention that boats might be taken outside Alaska for registration. He argued that they couldn't afford to do it for the tax saving because then they would have to pay non- resident fishing licenses, a claim which was challenged promptly.
 Johnson said the situation is get ting so precarious for boat owners that in a few years the Territory is going to have to subsidize the fishing fleet"

Gruening Confirmation
 Seems Assured; Monday Is Opposition DeadIine

WASHINGTON, March 12-tR-- Senator Butler (R-Neb), says that unless responsible persons appear to oppose" the nomination of Gov. Ernest Gruening of Alaska for an- other four year term the Senate In- terior committee twill go ahead and confirm him."
 Chairman OMahoney (D-Wyo) told reporter the Committee would act Monday. He said, Nothing has been filed with the committee against Governor Gruening."
 Butler is ranking Republican on the committee. It this week post poned action until Monday to pro- vide an opportunity for any op- posing Gruening to testify against the nomination.
 "The point of postponing action until next Monday" Butler said, was to determine if there has been sufficient evidence that responsible persons will appear to oppose Gov ernor Gruening's nomination. If we don't have such witnesses we will go ahead and confirm him."
 Meantime, the committee was getting many telegrams concerning the nomination. It declined, how ever, to make them public.
 Bartlett said he has not seen the telegrams.
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska pre- dicted Gruening will be approved by the Senate.

S4T0NNAGE LEVY VOTED
 FOR BOATS
House Passes Bill 10 Give Fishermen Special
 Consideration
By JIM HUTCHINSON

The House voted 21-2 last night to give fishing boat owners special consideration under the new Gener- al Property Tax by allowing an al- formative of paying $4 per ton in- stead of 10 mills on valuation.
 Estimates given on the floor were that the provision might mean nothing to some boats, but would cut the tax on some large ones to a quarter or third of what other wise it would be.
 Debate mostly ranged legislators from mining areas against those from the Southeastern Alaska fish ing area.
 The House passed by big major ities bills by Rep. Clarence Keat- ing providing for recall petitions against municipal officers and re- moval of all elective Territorial of ficials by legislative impeachment trial.
 Governor Gruening meanwhile announced signing into law a bill raising old age pensions to $8O per month.
 Other measures passed by the House included:
 Unanimous approval of a mem orial to the Highway Engineer for action to get a suitable small boat harbor for Douglas (by Jensen and Franklin.
 Passage of a bill by Jack Con- right for loan of $1,200,000 from the general fund to the Veterans revolving fund at a s50,0o0 monthly rate, to be repaid at the same rate, starting in 1856. Commissioner Floyd Guertin said some such fin ancing was essential to save the revolving fund. The vote was 21 to ?, with Reps. Rydeen and Mis- covich against.
 Unanimous passage of another bill by Conright to allow veterans loans on security other than a mortgage on the property purchas- ed.
 Passage 21 to 2 of a bill to pro- vide the public welfare director get the same salary that other princi- pal department heads do, and pro- viding that he need not be an AL aska resident, but must be trained and qualified.
 Tax Argument
 The issue of amending the prop erty tax to let boat owners pay on a $4 tonnage basis brought as much argument as the issue of calling for a special session. The only two votes against the tax concession were Reps Angerman and Dale, both Fairbanks Democrats. Reps. Franklin and Conright also voted may" but changed before the re- suit was announced, apparently as a complimentary gesture to the salty, dramatic plea of Rep. Ches- ter (RedD Carlson, veteran Cordova fisherman.
 Carlson chided them: T can see the miners from the Fourth Division are refreshingly ignorant about fishin. They like to talk about how we work 30 days for years pay, but they forget the long months of work with the boats and

TOBACCO TAX I5 APPROVED
 BY SENATOR'S
City Sales Tax Enabling Bill and Change of Election
 Day Also Passed

A tobacco tax, covering cigarettes, cigars, snuff and all other forms of the weed will probably be the next tax act on the books in the Terri tory, following its passage by the Senate yesterday afternoon. The vote On the measure was unanimous.
 The measure had previously passed the House, which is expected to concur in a minor amendment made by the Senate, after which the bill will go to the Governor for approv- al.
 The rate of tax is cents on standard package of 20 cigarettes; to cents each on cigars, depend ing upon the retail price, and 3 cents per ounce of tobacco or snuff.
 The rate came close to being 5 cents per package of cigarettes or 50 cents per carton. The Senate adopted an amendment by Senator Steve McCutcheon for the increased rate was adopted by 9-7 vote, af- ter which there was right-about- face and the action was rescinded by an 11-5 vote.
 Another McCutcheon amendment, to allot half of the revenues from the toxacco tax to the Veterans Re- volving Fund, was voted down. The bill provides that all revenues shall go into a fund for the construction of school facilities.
 Senator John Butrovich, chairman of the Finance Committee, estimat- ed that the tax will bring in ap- prcximately half million dollars a year.
 MUNICIPAL BILLS
 Two House-approved bills pertain ing to municipalities were passed by the Senate-a sales tax enabling bill and bill to permit the chang ing of municipal election dates.
 The sales tax bill-which merely allows municipalities to levy the tax if 55 percent of the voters ap- prove-squeaked by on 9-7 vote, which prompted Senate President Engebreth to take the floor to rep rimand his colleagues.
 He expressed himself as unable to understand the negative votes on a bill that required referendum of the voters before its provisions could te carried into effect.
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson of Ju- neau, representing the mayors of Southeast Alaska municipalities, ap- peared before the Senate to explain the need for the legislation
 The town of Sitka is in particu- lar reed of it, Mayor Hendrickson said, since a sales tax is being col lected there on voluntary basis and without legal foundation.
 SCHOOL DISTRICTS
 Senator Mackenzie raised the question of amending the bill to ex- tend the enabling privilege to in- dependent school districts. The At torney General was called in to give information on the matter and ii was decided that separate bil! should be introduced for that pur- pose.
 Mayor Hendrickson also appeared before the Senate in regard to H.
 t,1 ri palities to change the date of cleo tions of municipal officers and to elect mayors and councilmen for 1 longer terms than at present.
 The House bill to create Fisher ies Board for the Territory was scheduled by the Senate for Com 1 mittee of the Whole hearing next | Tuesday at II o'clock.
