House Passes Request for
 Alaska Bonds
Also Approves Increase of Fishermen's License
 Fees 10 s and $50
By JIM HUTCHINSON

The Territorial House approved late yesterday a memorial to Con- gress for permission to issue $l5,000000 territorial bond issue for school construction and repairs. The vote was 22 to 2.
 It also asked that Congress pro- vide some degree ot matching funds for any bond issue approved.
 The House also passed a bill to raise fishermens licenses to $5 for residents and $50 for non-residents, with q 22-0 vote.
 In the House the only votes against the school bond issue me- morial were cast by Republican Rep. George Miscovich, Fairbanks, and Democratic Rep. Amer Rydeen of Nome. The memorial cited the over crowded Alaska schools and the "deplorable state of disrepair.' It was authorcd by Rep. Jack Con- right, Anchorage Democrat and supp ported strongly on the floor by Speaker Stanley McCutcheon and Rep. Clarence T. Heating. also An- chorage Democrats.
 MATCHING FUNDS ASKED
 The memorial asks also that Con- gress provide some degree of match ing funds for any approved bond issue.
 Main challenge to the bond issue proposal on the floor was ty Rep. James Noixn who said the interest alone on $l5,0O0,000 would be $4o0,- 900 or more. He proposed putting that into school appropriations in- stead. However, he voted for the memorial on final passage Con- right insisted Nolan's estimate of carrying charges was too high.
 Heating emphasized it would not be mandatory to issue the full $15,- 100000 even if Congress approved. Conright argued that if we want schools built we must take the bull by the horns now"
 The House vote came after Edu- cation Commissioner James Ryan described rural school buildings as falling apart with snow drifting into the worst school rooms. He said to- tai immediate building needs would require $l2,000,000, but the Board of Education was asking in the bud- get for $1 .500.000 for rural schools and sl,000. 900 for cities.
 PENALTIES REDUCED
 Before passage of the bill to in- crease the fishermen's license rates from the present $1 and s25. the House amended it to knock out a provision that offenders against the law could be deprived of fishing rights for the rest of the season. Rep. Frank c. Johnson of Rake led the move to eliminate the pro- vision relating abuses which can arise when enforcement officers have a free hand
 The bill includes penalty clause for $500 fine or six months im- prisonment or both
 The only measure introduced in either house yesterday was a me- morial (HJM l3) ty Rep. Warren Taylor. Addressed to Congress and Delegate Bartlett. 1t strongly urges enactment of bill to empower the U. s. Supreme Court to make the federal rules of civil procedure ap- plicable to Alaska as soon as pos sible. It said they are applicable in

FiDger-?finting Science Is Topic

In the apprehension of criminals and the identifica- tion of persons, no known method equals that of finger printing, Clarence Williams, civilian agent for the 17th Naval District Intelligence office, told the Rotary Club Tuesday.
 Williams was guest speaker following the clubs regular luncheon at the Montmartre Inn.
 There has never been a successful attempt at alter ing finger prints on a human hand" Williams declared.
 People too often associate the taking of finger prints with criminality. Such is not the case. In the Texas City disaster in 1946 over 400 of the

Cara is Native of Reading,
Pennsylvania; Wife Senior in
College Here
Served Three Years in Prison
For Refusal to Register
For Draft

Larry Cara, 27-year-old Bluffton
college history instructor and dean
of men was meeting his classes as
usual Tuesday apparently unmindful
of the fact that he was the central
figure in a precedent-setting trial in
the Federal court at Toledo last
week which attracted attention thru
out the country as the first VIOLA
tion of its kind under the peacetime
draft act.
The slightly-built, red haired
Quaker who served three years in
prison for refusing to register in
1910, showed no apprehension at the
outlook of facing a possible sentence
of five years in federal prison and
$4,000 fine. He is now out under
bond pending arguments next week
for new trial before Judge Frank
Kloeb in the court at Toledo.
This is Gara's first year as an
instructor in Bluffton college. A ma
tive of Reading, Pa, he came here
with his wife at the opening of the
college term last September. The
couple reside in Ropp hall where he
serves as dean of men. They have
no children.
Mrs. Cara who enrolled in the col
lege as a member of the senior class
has been with her husband through
out the trial and was in the court
room when the jury's verdict was
announced Monday afternoon.
Cara is graduate of Penn State
college and this is his first year of
college teaching. He has IA hours
of classes weekly Since his ar
rival in Bluffton last fall he has
been active in the cause of Euro
pean relief.
College sources indicated Tuesday
that Cara will continue his teach
ing duties here so long as he is per-
mitted to do so under present cir
cumstances. There has been no indi.
cation relative as to his successor

Present Plans Call For Erection
of New Building AT Rear of
Science Hall

Before starting work this spring
on construction of Bluffton colleges
new $250,000 gymnasium auditorium,
additional surveys will be made TO
determine the best possible location
of the structure and its parking
areas for automobiles.
Altho present plans call for the
gymnasium to be built in the space
Immediately at the rear of Science
hall, between Lincoln hall and the
present gymnasium, decision has
not been reached as to the exact site.
Further survey of the area has
been ordered by the building COM
mittee in the interest of providing
adequate parking facilities and other
features directly affecting location
of the quarter million-dollar struc.
ture.
Facing and arranging the building
and its approaches for efficiency and
convenience is another matter of con-
cern to be decided to the additional
surveys to be made by school author
tiles and their Cleveland architectal
firm of Ward and Conrad.
Altho construction of the gymnas-
ium- auditorium will be started this
spring, work will continue only until
the building fund is exhausted.
Various details of the building
facilities will be completed only as
funds are available, college authori-
ties have pointed out.
Progress of the campaign to raise
funds for construction of the build
ing have been sufficiently salts
factory, however, to indicate that
many of the buildings facilities may
be ready for use during the coming
school year.

Boiler Will Be Put In Use
In May

Bluffton municipal light plants
S225,000 expansion program, launch
ed three years ago, will be COM
pleted by mid-May of this year, with
an additional turbine and a new
boiler increasing generating capacity
of the plant by nearly two-thirds its
present output.
Altho there have been some recent
delays in installation work, the
plants new 1000 XIV turbine will be
ready to be put on the line approx
imately April /, Supt. John Swisher
announced this week.
Pipe connections to the new GOO
HIP boiler now are being made, fol-
lowing completion of boiler installa-
tion, and it is expected that the
equipment will be placed in use
sometime early in May.
Wiring Turbine
Wiring the 1900 KW turbine to
switchboard controls will be complet-
ed in about two more weeks, the
plant superintendent said, and after
the end of that work the new install
lation will be ready for use.
The wiring is being done by IT.
Wray Steiner, Pittsburgh consulting
electrical engineer.
All work on installation of the
new boiler has been completed by
workmen from the Babcock and Will
cox Co., of Barberton, and plant
workmen, directed by Supt. Swisher,
now are making pipe connections to
the plants system.
When the 1000 XIV turbine is
placed in operation, Buttons peak
load troubles, experienced over the
last Is months, will be eliminated,
and the plant will have two genera
tors capable of adequately supplying
demands of the patrons.
Handle Peak Loads
Present peak load demands range
from 1000 to 1,100 XIV, Supt.
Swisher pointed out, and only one
of the plants two present operating
turbines can carry the load.
The larger turbine in the existing
installation has a 1850 XIV rating,
but the smaller one has rated out
put of only 750KW.
When the new 600 HIP boiler is put
into use in early May, the plant will
have adequate, steam power to handle
its increased load, and the postwar
expansion program launched in 1916
will be completed.
