WASHINGTON President Tru- man staged brief personal sit down strike the other day against his aides habit of writing flowery letters to resigning members of the administration. Even when resignations have been forced, the White House secretaries have writ ten fulsome letters of praise to be signed by Truman.
 But when Undersecretary of the Army William Draper resigned the other day, Truman looked at the letter praising him and refused to sign.
 In the end he demanded that the letter be rewritten, with at least some of the praise omitted.
 Inside fact is that the President had informed several Senators that he had no objection to their stag ing full-dress probe of Draper and his conduct of the American

WOULD MAKE CITIES
 LEvYLEGAL
Bill Siirs Up Warm Debate House Also 0kays
 Marine Fund
By JIM HUTCHINSON


 An enabling act to allow towns and cities to enact sales tax ordi- nances won House approval yester- day by an 18 to vote
 The bill provides that a local referendum ballot must precede en- l actment of the tax, and it cannot exceed percent.
 1. It was one of four measures three Fills and memorial-passed yesterday afternoon by the House, which cancelled a scheduled overtime evening session.
 l Also gaining House approval were: '! A bill providing motor fuel tax monies collected from marine equip ment should revert to construction and maintenance of waterfront, harbor and marine facilities. The lvote was 19 to 1. A bill providing procedure for en- larging school districts by petition and election. The vote was g to 0. Unanimous backing also was giv- len to memorial introduced by Rep. Amelia A. Gundersen, Ketchikan Democrat. Addressed to the Presi- dent, Congress and federal agencies, lit asks $2Oo0. 900 appropriation
 for permanent improvements on Ketchikan's waterfront thorough flare.
 1; All the House-approved measures
 now go to the Senate. | A bill killed by indefinite post
 ronement would have restricted the sales of certain so-called habit
 forming drugs without prescriptions. Senator Dawes of Juneau introduced lit. It previously had been approved iby the Senate.
 FUEL TAX BILL 1 The fuel tax measure, introduced
 by Rep. c. Chester Carlson and Alfred Owen. Jr.. both Third Divis- ion Democrats, provides that 65 per cent of the marine fuel levies col lected in Incorporated towns shall revert to them.
 l Thirty-five percent of city and town collections, plus collections in outside areas. would go for marine facilities in ,,nincorporated areas. It also provides equal apportion- ment between divisions of all motor fuel receipts, with marine allot- ments chargeatle against the total due any division This would mean that the First and Third Divisions would get most marine fuel tax re- ceipts, but less for highways and airports.
 ] The four votes against the bill were cast by Reps. Glen D. Frank
 lin, Fourth Division Democrat: George Miscovich, Fourth Division
 Republican; Marcus Jensen. First
 Division Democrat. and Frank c. Johnson, First Division Republican. 1 Carlson. co-sponsor of the bill, argued that such towns as Cordoya desperately need harbor facility im- provements.
 ] The municipalities sales tax meas ure precipitated two-hour debate
 during which series of amend ments were proposed in an attempt
 to gain exemption for non-residents who buy in towns. The only amendment approved would require approval of 55 per cent in referendum instead of a
 bare majority
 Proponents argued that it would allow towns to settle their own pol ! icy. Opponents charged it was an entering wedge for an objectionable sales tax"
 The bill was introduced by Rep. Doris M. Barnes, former Wrangell mayor, a Republican.

Mason Says New Law
Would Be Needed 10
Control Bottle Clubs

The District government has no
legal power to compel hours
bottle clubs" to subject themselves
to Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
supervision, Commissioner Guy Ma
son said today.
/ Congress would have to provide
legislation, Mr.. Mason declared, If
the bottle clubs" are to be required
to take out Glass c liquor licenses
and submit to ABC regulations.
Mr.. Mason said he has asked Cor
poration Counsel Vernon E. West to
find out how other cities deal with
such establishments.
Received Complaints.
Mr.. Mason admitted it would be
difficult to draw up law governing
the operation of after-hours clubs
because of the danger of invading
the privacy of clubs which operate
similarly to the bottle clubs"
He said the reason for his dis
cussion with Mr.. West is to seek
means to bring the clubs within
ABC egulation-which would put
most of the establishments out of
business Immediately because of the
2 am. closing hour. Most bottle
clubs" open for business at about
the same time night clubs and
restaurants are closing.
Mr.. Mason said he had received
about 20 complaints, most Of them
anonymous, about the after-hours
clubs. One complaint, he said,
charged that a teen-aged girl was
admitted to q club and served
liquor.
Suggestion Brought Raids.
Commissioner Mason said the city
heads have not ordered a police
breakdown" but that several
months ago they informed Supt.
of Police Robert J. Barrett that
they wished him to keep an eye
|un the clubs.
This suggestion resulted in a
series of raids which brought about
the permanent closing of the Spot
light Club, but only temporarily
linterfered with the operation of the
Allies Club and the Gold Key Club
Police again raided the Gold Key
Club Sunday for allegedly violating
liquor regulations.

New York Fire Chief
Calls Charges Sham
BY the Assoeioted Press

of me %SSoCtoIe0 PTeSS
NEW YORK, Jan. 12-Fire Chief
Peter J. LOTUS yesterday termed a
sham" the departmental charges
brought against him after a pre-
Christmas party in the basement
Of a Manhattan firehouse.
The chief struck back sharply at
Fire Commissioner Frank j. Quayle
in an answer filed at the opening
session OF his departmental trial on
the charges.
Meanwhile, Commissioner Quayle
restored Chief Lotus and three
other top department officials to
full duty pending the trials out
come. The commissioner suspended
the four last week after announcing
his charges based on the party,
which allegedly included drinks and
women entertainers.
Chief Lotus trial was adjourned
until January 26 after his attorney
had demanded that the charges
against the chief be spelled out in
detail.
The chiefs written statement pre-
sented at the trial offered a variety
of answers to the accusations against
him.
Chief LOTUS said the party was
held with Commissioner Quayle's
knowledge, that he was not assigned
to duty on the night of the affair,
that the charges were sham and
frivolous" and "prejudiced and
biased" and that it long had been
a department custom to allow such
gatherings and to waive rules af-
fecting them. The chief said Com
missioner Quayle himself had held
a party at fire headquarters Decem-
ber "a which was comparable to the
one held December 16.
The fire commissioner charged
Chief LOTUS with misconduct, neg
lect of duty and conduct unbecoming
an officer and prejudicial to order
and discipline.
