NEW YORK, (HD - A Russian engineer accused of espionage to- day refused to answer questions at his arraignment in federal court and claimed diplomatic immunity.
 Valentine A. Gubitchev, the Russian indicted yesterday with Judith Coplon, U. S. justice de partment employee, declared the prosecution against him was ito pursue certain aims"
 However, Judge Simon H. Riff kind answered sharply:
 Let the defendant know if he is under the illusion that he is go- ing to be punished without first being convicted by due process of law, he is harboring a mistaken idea"
 The judge continued Gubit- chev's $1O0,OO0 bail and declined to accept the statement of the sus- pended United Nations employee that he did not want counsel.
 Rifkind said he would assign lawyer to represent Gubitchev. He then put off until Monday the pleading on the indictment.

Union Tickets
 Cannery Tender In Labor Dispute

SEATTLE, (P)-First picketing of the 1949 salmon season started here yesterday, but it involved dispute from the previous year.
 The pickets were from the Alas ka fishermen's union, demanding reinstatement of a cannery tender crew which the union contends was "locked out last fall.
 Boats involved were two ten ders owned by the Emard Packing company, moored on Lake Union near the St. Vincent de Paul ware house.
 Oscar Anderson, union business agent, said the tender crews had refused to pass a picket line of fishermen at Anchorage last sum- mer. They returned to work when the dispute was settled, on July II, he said, but when the season ended the company sent the crew south by plane and the tender was brought to Seattle later by a non-union crew.
 The company has since refused to reinstate the original crew. charging incompetency, Anderson said. This charge was branded as ridiculous by Anderson, who said some of the crew members had been with the company as long as | II years.

More Seaman Contest Alaska Income Tax Law

SAN FRANCISCO, (P)-Mari- time unions representing 28 sea- men filed suit in federal court here yesterday seeking to stop the deduction of Alaska Territorial income taxes from their pay.
 The plaintiffs were members of the crews of the steamers James w. Cannon and John o. Chopper, operated by coastWise lines. The suit charged Alaskan income taxes had been deducted since January.
 It was alleged that such deduc- tions are unconstitutional and an invasion of the admiralty and maritime jurisdiction of tn e United States. The line operates between San Francisco and Alaska and the suit claims that most of the work performed by the sea- men takes place outside Alaskan waters.
 The Alaskan income tax law was passed by the Territorial leg islature last January and, accord ing to the suit, the company i'm mediately began deductions. The amount deducted from paychecks is 10 per cent of the figure deduct ed for payment of U. s. income and security taxes.
 The sailors union of the Pacific and the masters, mates and pilots union, local 90 joined the seamen in bringing tn suit.

Axis Sally" Cillars Convicted Of
 Treason To U. s.

WASHINGTON, (R Mildred E. (Axis Sally Gillars was con- victed of treason yesterday but her punishment probably won't be known for a week or more.
 A mixed jury found her guilty of broadcasting propaganda for the wartime German radio.
 The jury convicted Miss Gillars of only one of the eight treason able acts charged to her in con- nection with her broadcasting. This, however, did not alter the range of possible penalties.
 The maximum possible sentence is death in the electric chair; the minimum, five years in prison, a $10,OO0 fine and loss of her Amer ican citizenship.
 The conviction was based on g radio drama called "Vision of In vasion."
 In "Vision of Invasion," Miss Gillars played the role of Evelyn an Ohio mother who dreamed that her son was killed in the invasion The Germans broadcast it four weeks before Allied troops landed in Normandy.

f >SS| Denmark's foreign minister went to Washington today to get data which will help his country decide whether to join the pro- jected Atlantic Alliance.
 The strategic position of Den mark and the huge island of Greenland which guards the air and sea approaches to North America, make the adherence of Denmark highly important. The foreign minister, Gustav Rasmus- sen, has declared his governments favorable attitude.
 Eight nations now are aligned for signatures, probably late this month. They are the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Norway and Luxembourg. With Denm r k Italy, Portugal, and Iceland, the alliance may form a bloc of a dozen nations against Russia and Communism. All four states have expressed interest. The treaty is completely drafted but its terms have not been published.
 A committee of a conference which said it represents 35,000, ,000 Protestants worked on a statement in Cleveland asking the U. s. Sen ate to; delay action until Ameri- cans can consider implications of the accord. The churchmen dis turbed lest the alliance basically is military in intent.

LIFTING THE LID AT JUNEAU
Thursday. March 10. l949 CBy James HutcheSon

JUNEAU, (P) By a one-vote margin and after two days and two nights of debate the Territo- rial House passed the liquor con- trol bill last night.
 The vote was 1911, the slim mest margin by which the mea- sure could pass.
 Rep. Frank L. Johnson, Nome Republican, said, however, he would move for reconsideration.
 Yesterday the final day for bill introduction, saw the introduction of IS measures in the Senate and 13 in the House.
 One of the new Senate bills, by Sen. Victor C. Rivers, proposed a referendum in the 1850 election on whether the Territory should as- sume exclusive wholesale distribu- ton of liquor.
 The House stripped several lib- eralizing provisions from the li- quor bill and added several amendments for tightening en- forcement before voting passage.
 Amendments adopted included:
 Creation of a liquor enforce ment division under the attorney general with an enforcement dep- uty in each of four divisions; linn itation of beverage dispensary li- censes to one for each 1000 popu-

Most American war prisoners OF
the japanese we're netted in the
early days of the war. before the
end of 1912. Most were freed by
advancing U. S. troops during the
middle of l945.
For every day spent in prison
camps former POWs are entitled
to 81 under the War Claims Act
passed July 3. l948-provided the
food they were fed did not quail
lfy under the standard set forth
in the Geneva Convention Of July
81, 1929.
If a POW spent 1900 days in
Jap prison camp and he can
show he was not furnished the
correct quality or quantity of food
for 800 of them, he would get $500.
If he got sub-standard food ev-
cry one of those 1900 days then
he'd get $1,000.
1t is the same with prisoners
of other enemy countries-Ger-
many. Italy, etc.

mer, why hasn't any money been
paid out? Because the Act failed

space and so on.
1t did provide for money with
which to pay claims. That money,
the act says, is to come from
German and japanese assets in
this country under the jurisdiction
of the Office of Alien Property.
These assets were frozen when the
war broke out. They amount to
we'll over s200,0 ,000, 900, according
to the best estimate l could get.
But since no money was appro-
priated to administer the act moth
ing at all could be done. Now, it
appears. Congress is about to fur
nish administrative funds. A de-
ficiency appropriation bill passed
by the Senate (Which may have
become law by the time this

with which to put into effect the
