 BILL SEEMS
 DEAD ISSUE
House Apparently Gives U Death Stdb-Spedker
 Makes Ruling
By JIM HUTCHINSON

The "anti-White bill'' went to- a disputed death in the House last night
 A ruling by Speaker Stanley Mo Cutcheon apparently killed the measure that five Republican Sen- ators sponsored in an attempt to get Albert White out of the Repub- lican party drivers seat.
 The ruling came after Rep. Doris Barnes, Wrangell Republican, made another oi her many motions to get the bill before the House for vote. She moved to take it off the table. 70 which it had been consigned previously by 22-2 vote.
 McCutcheon hastily called a Democratic caucus behind closed doors. After the caucus, the Speak CT ruled the bill couldn't be con- sidered without a suspension of the rules. He held that it didn't fall within the revenue and ap- propriations category of bills which have been eligible for consideration without rules suspension since the Sunday 56th day deadline.
 The bill provided for open par ty conventions at all levels, with advertised notices in advance.
 Wires were received from both Republican and Democratic leaders n Washington, D. c. last week in support of the bill However, Democratic legislative leaders, after checking over the weekend with Washington, said the national Democratic leaders misunderstood che import of the bill and are not endorsing it.
 "Anti-White" Republicans accuse White of holding the whip hand by off hand meetings. White ran a newspaper advertisement yesterday addressed to Sen. E. B. Collins. Re- publican, denying any cellar" or warehouse" meetings and contend ing meetings had been held with advance notices. White signed it as Whipping Boy of the Republican i Party in Alaska"

GUARD BILL
 WINS HOUSE
 VOTE, 1o-4
Appropriation Cut-House Argues on Salary
 Increases
By JIM HUTCHINSON

Establishment of an Alaska Ma tional Guard with emphasis on Es- kimo Scout units along the Boring Coast was assured yesterday after noon by House passage of the Sen- ate-approved bill.
 The vote was 20 to 4. The bill was sent lack to the Senate because the House cut the appropriation from S92 500 to 75,0O0..
 The House approval came. with surprising speed as the opponents of the bill dropped their amend ment-tossing tactics in the face of a certain majority. The silencing oi the anti-Guard guns came as such a surprise that Speaker Stanley Mc- Cutcheon's only comment before the final vote was. All I want to say is, I'm flabbergasted."
 The only votes against the bill on final passage were by G. E. Almquist and Abel Anderson, both of Juneau; Frank Angerman, Fair banks, and Almer Rydeen, Nome. All are Democrats.
 Other major House events last night included
 Defeat of motion by Glen Frank lin to ask the Governor to rescind immediately the call for a special extension session, which still hangs over the Legislators heads. The vote was 10-14.
 SALARY BILL
 Approval of the Senate-approved bill for increasing salaries of terri torial officers and administrative officials from IA to 20 percent, but it went the Senate one step better and voted to boost the Attorney Generals salary 36 percent.
 Passage of Sen. Frank Barr's till for creation of Department oi Aviation under the Aeronautics and Communications Commission to di- rect aeronautical activities and re- ceive federal funds on 3 to l matching basis for outlying airfields. It carries $50,o00 appropriation.
 A pure food and drug act also was approved.
 1PALOOK GIVES INFO.
 Rep. Percy Ipalook. Eskimo mis- sionary from the Boring Coast, said in support of the Guard bill. that the Russians, who held IT Eskimos on Big Diomede Island last summer for seven weeks, asked them how they would like to have Russian administration over them.
 Ipalook told reporter that re- port was general among Eskimos after their return to Little Diomede Island. but he had not talked to any personally,
 Ipalook made the statement to the newsman after having told the House:
 T was going to tell you what the Russians said to our Eskimos, but since there is. little opposition now to the bill won't say 1t here NO RECONSIDERATION

AGREEMENT REACHED ON
 INCOME TAX
Senate Recedes from Amendment Eliminating
 Estimated Returns
By BOB DeARMOND

The House and Senate have now reached an agreement on the new net income tax bill, which re- peals the Act in effect since Janu- ary and re-enacts it with couple of new sections to specifically tax the earnings of personnel on ships, planes and trucks in the Alaska trade.
 The Senate this morning receoeo from its single amendment to the bill-one exempting taxpayers rom filing advance estimates on taxes.
 Senator Rivers, who had offered the amendment, said he does not believe it should be necessary to file such estimates but he did not offer any objection to the recession.
 A new conference commlttee came into being when the Senate took exception to the Houses man handling of s. B. 51. to provide assistance to agricultural and in- dustrial fairs in the Territory. The House cut the $20,OO0 appropriation in half and made some other amendments to which the senators objected and Senators Huntley, Collins and Mackenzie were nam ed to meet with three House mem bers to try to straighten things out.
 Capital Fireworks
 The inter sectional battle over the location of the future capital of Alaska, when it becomes a state, flared up again with consideration bv the Senate of a House bill to appropriate $660,000 for Territor- ial office building.
 The House had amended the orl- ginal bill to specify that Palmer is to be the site of the building.
 The general trend is to move offices and bureaus to the Interior and the thinking is toward moving the capital to the Railbelt area Anchorage, Palmer or Fairbanks- when Alaska becomes state Sen- ator McCutcheon said.
 Senator Lyng contended that Palmer has no streets, sewers, side- walks or other modern facilities and that it does not have living ac- commodations for the people who would work in the proposed build ing. He got immediate response from Senators Huntley and Rivers of the Third Division.
 We have modern sewer system as good as any in the Territory of Alaska" Senator Huntley assert ed. we also have an adequate water supply and 1t is being ex- banded. Senator Lyng must not have been there for years"
 Senator Lyng admitted that he was passing his statements on con- ditions of four or five years ago.
 Not Good Business
 Senator Peratrovich felt that it would not be good business to specify any particular site for the proposed building and Senator Rlv- CTS said that the eve of statehood is not a proper time to start any program of institutional building.
 Senator Mackenzie offered ar amendment to provide for selection of the site by the Board of Admin istraticn and, after some debate

The implication was that Clark had sat on his hands while Miss Coplon got away with Justice Department secrets.
