HOUSING FOR
 ALASKA SEEN
 IN NEW BILL
Sen. Mdgnuson visudIizes S75,0OO, 1000 Program as
 Result of AHA Loan

WASHINGTON, March 14.-IR = A 75,000,0C0 housing program for Alaska is visualized by Sen Mag luson tD-Wash) in bill on which he Senate Banking and Currency Committee will open hearings to- morrow.
 Magnuson said his measure should pave the way" for con- struction of 4,0o0 family units and LOGO apartment units.
 Seventy-five ger cent of the pro- rosed apartment development can e accomplished by private con- s'ruction, Magnuson quoted private builders as saying.
 The rest. he said. is needed in interior and Western Alaska. where 7rivate builders have shown no in crest. This part would be sponsor ed by the Alaska Housing Author ty under Magnuson's proposal.
 The same Authority" he said lis expected to sponsor three fourths of the single homes needed for stable development of the Terri ory. Requirements for housing of he military have not been met and his poses an additional problem of urgency
 He said the Federal Housing and Hcme Finance Administrator and the Alaska Housing Authority would handle administration.
 The appropriation would be limit d to $15,0o0,co0 in a loan to the Alaska Housing Authority.
 Present information strongly supports estimates" Magnuson as- serted, that this would lead to construction work $75,000,000 in Alaska"
 His bill would authorize the Territorial Legislature to permit the Alaska Housing Authority t6 undertake constructor projects. Ii would also give the Federal Nation
 Mortgage Associs ion and the Federal Housing Administration au- thority to make real estate loans md mortgage arrangements.

HOUSE PUTS 0. K. ON SEVEN BILLS
 IN CLOSING RUSH
By JIM HUTCHINSON

In rush to beat tonight's dead- inc for considering it's own bills, the House this morning passed seven measures.
 One was labor committee bill for establishing disability compen- sation on a basis similar to work mems compensation. It would be for disability from non- occupation al illness or injury. But while the House was passing it 17-5, after amending it to make all payments come from employees, the Senate was killing similar measure 9-7. The House also passed Rep. AL fred Owens bill to amend the newly enacted law for allowing an unem- ployed person 20 per cent additional compensation for each dependent, ut net more than 60 per cent addi- t.onal. The new bill provides that an unemployed person can draw the increased amount without hav- ing the number of weeks of pay ments reduced. In effect, it would make man eligible for a maximum of about $l,015 in 25 weeks instead of $625.
 A controversial bill ty Mrs. Amelia Gundersen to allow public schoo. buses to carry parochial school pu- pills was withdrawn by the Ketchi- kan representative. She said it had proved so controversial that it might unduly delay consideration of other bills pending in the House.
 The House passed 23-O bill by Gwen to tighten up the lobbyist registration provisions. It would re- quire any lobbyist to file his salary figures, whether or not any extra pay for legislative service is in- yolved.
 The House also passed a bill by it's labor committee to expand the Unemployment Compensation Com mission to five persons and change it's name to the Employment Secur- ity Commission. Two m m b r s would represent labor, two would represent employees and one would represent the public at large. The vote was 13-10.
 Other bills passed included:
 HE. 116 (by Franklin), to pay University regents $15 a day for meetings in addition to travel and living expenses;
 H.B 106 (by McCutcheon) to en- power city councils to grant bus franchises;
 HB. IF (by Keating), to allow municipalities which operate public utilities, but do not have a public utility district, to elect public util- ity boards to operate the services.

Budget Cut Three Million By House Group
GALS ARE 5AFE;| EGANS WITHDRAW5| FEMALE TAX BILL

As a married man, Rep. Bill Egan knows when jest about feminine finances has gone far enough.
 He ran up white flag today and withdrew a bill he introduced for "A $50 tax on single women witt jobs. The bill cited the tax as an atd to furthering the happy state of matrimony and relieving the housing shortage.
 Egan displayed letters of protest from as far away as Detroit and Newburgh, N. Y. They enclosed clip pings from New York City and othel papers. Egan had playfully thrown asnowhall and started an avalanche.
 You couldn't get Egan to propose q tax today on woman-single or married-if she inherited million Lucks. He just isn't interested in any female tax.
 A letter from a Detroit woman said:
 T am healthy, pefsonable, adapt able and have a college education. If you can put me in touch with some of the males spurned by the Alaskan ladies, I shall be glad tc give them a hearing"
 A Newburgh, N. Y., man wrote that the female tax idea is most preposterous. I sincerely trust, sir, you were joking"
 Egan says he was. He wants to hear nothing more about it.

SENATOR'S CLEARING
 CALENDAR
By BOB DeARMoND

Spurred, perhaps, by tre whlr )i a threatened extension session, the Senate got into full stride n a Saturday afternoon session and sliced nine bills off of its dwindling calendar.
 Six of the bills were passed, most of them unanimously three of hem were killed.
 School Boards of independent school districts, apparently at odds with City Councils within the dis tructs, especially in the Anchorage school district, were handed two setbacks by the Senate.
 A bill to provide for the dissolu- ion of incorporated and indepen- lent school districts should the sit lation, in the opinion of three ,ifths of the voters in the district, become too fract.ous, was passed unanimously and without discussion. It was introduced by Senator Enge- breth at the request of the Anchor age City Council.
 The second school district bill, introduced by Senator Huntley at the request ci the District School Board at Anchorage, was defeated by a vote of 6-1O.
 The hill provided that the school 1oard of an independent school l.strict having 2,000 or more pupils would have authority to assess, levy md collect taxes on real and per- isnal property within the district up to 50 per cent of the legal tax imitation, for school purposes only
 Anchc, age Only
 At the present time the bill. il it had passed, would apply only to the Anchorage school district, the only one having 1000 pupils. Pro- ponents of the measure argued that, since the school board wanted it, 1t should be tried out.
 School Boards, which are elected by the people, know best wha funds are needed for educational purposes, and should have the pow CT to collect them," Senator Rivers stated.
 On the contrary, Senator Lyng argued. the bill would destroy a basic principle of the Republican form of government, the system of checks and balances.
 All city councils, as far as we have heard, are opposed to the bill," Senator Engebreth asserted Tt would require a double assess ment of property and a double tax collection system, and I see no need for it."
 Also killed by the Senate, on an 8-8 vote, was Senator Rivers bill to create an Alaska Youth Commis- sion.
 Dr. c. Earl Albrecht, Territorial Commissioner of Health, and Miss Alice Brandebury of the Depart ment of Public Welfare, appeared before the Senate in support of the bill. The Youth Commission, was stated, is desired by the U. s. Childrens Bureau.

" ASHINGTON- John L. Lewis recently won some votes in favor of keeping one of the Taft-Hartley provisions which labor dislikes most the right of injunction to halt strikes against the public interest.
 The tional Association of Manufacturers backed by George Sokolsky and battery of propa- gandists couldn't have been half as effective as John L. Lewis. For Lewis lieutenant, John Owens, hinted before Senate committee that the miners would strike if the Senate confirmed Dr. James Boyd as Director of the Bureau of Mines.
 Several Senators who have been on the fence regarding injunctions now believe that injunction may be the only way to deal with labor leaders who threatens a strike if Congress exercises it's constitutional

NIGHT SESSIONS ARE IN ORDER AS
 DEADLINE NEAR5
By BOB DeARMOND


 of Representatives, may hold a night session tonight, since this is the last day upon which bills, ex- cept general appropriation bills, can be transmitted from one house to the other.
 A joint meeting of the two bodies, called this morning for the pur- pose of suspending the joint rules to allow two more days for the transmission of tills, failed by one vote to suspend the rules.
 In its forenoon session today, the Senate passed two bills, killed one. It had eight more Senate bills on its calendar this morning, with the probability that others would be reported out by various committees and added to the calendar this af- ernoon.
 By 7-9 vote the senators killed ] bill to set up temporary disa- jility compensation system under the Unemployment Compensation Commission. An identical bill was, however, passed by the House this morning.
 John T. Mclaughlin of the UCC ock the stand ia the senate this morning to explain the proposed system.
 ILLNESS COVERED
 The present law, Mclaughlin ex- plained, provides benefit payments for ordinary unemployment. The proposed system would provide com pensation for unemployment due to illness or other disabilities of a temporary nature. A separate fund would be created, with both employ ,rs and employees contributing one- half of one percent of the total pay roll to the fund.
 Wouldn't this bill put the Ter ritory of Alaska into the insurance business" Senator Butrovich asked.
 T don't believe &c.," Mclaughlin said. Tt is a kind of social legisla- tion.'
 Wouldn't the Territory pay the benefits in the event of illness oi an employer Senator ButrovicE wanted to know.
 Mclaughlin m fitted that it would.
 Doesn't an insurance company pay the benefits if the employee is privately insured?' the senator pur- sued.
 Mclaughlin said that was true and went on to say that this pro- posal would create a form of health and accident insurance. An amendment offered by Senator McCutcheon to eliminate contribu- tions by the employer and raise employees contributions to one per cent was defeated 7-9. TRANSFER PROHIBITED Another UCC bill, to prohibit the transfer of employers experience rating credits, in certain instances. with the sale of the employers com pany was passed l0-6. Also passed was bill adding some new drugs to the list of those whose sale is prohibited in the Territory. On the calendar for this after noon were three lengthy Health Department measures-to set up a Pure Food and Drug Act for the Ter ritory, general revision of Health Department laws, and transfer of vital statistics recording from the Auditors Office to the Health De- partment

MEASURE IS GIVEN
 PRUNING
General Appropriation Bill Reaches Floor
 May Be Surplus
By JIM HUTCHINSON

The heavily trimmed general ap- ,rcpriations bill reached the House locr today. Nearly $3.00O,000 has
 eer Topped from Budget Board re- .uests.
 The sharpcss cut uy the Ways
 nd Means Committee is on the University of Alaska appropriation. llthough it still is listed for three ines what it received during the present. biennium.
 The University's budget request of S3,500,000 was pared to $2.055. 900. lost of the trimming was done on lew construction, which was mark d down for $900.000 instead of the learly s2.0o0,0oO requested. Nearly
 alf million was pared from other University items.
 The budget for the support of common schools was left virtually ntact at s4.935 900. A sharp cut trimmed the controversial Alaska Development Board request from i38O, ,o00 to s150.000. And even that ,igure was expected to draw heat I'd Republican Senate opposition. come Ways and Means Committee members favored cutting 1t to 100000.
 The Public Welfare and Labor Departments also felt the knife. Aid to dependent children was cut rom s750,00O to $450.o00, and des- sitution srelisf from half . million $350.0o0.
 The bill provides for an increase Tn Territorial officers salaries from s6,000 to $7,500 with an added boos: so s8,800 for the Commissioner of .ducation and s8.500 for the At erney General
 On the basis of revenue measures nacted, Rep. James Nolan, chair nan of the Ways and Means Com> mittee, estimates the Territory should have surplus of $1.5O0. 900 to $2.000,0 at the end of the bien- nium.
 He based his estimates on prob- lble revenues of $19.OOO. 900.
 Senate Finance Chairman John 3Itrovich, Jr., Fourth Division Re- .,blican, has placed probable rev. nues at $20,000,000.
 The omnibus appropriations bill carries $l2,22l ,000. A separate bill contains an additional $2.225, 900 for school buildings which origin Fly was included in the budget. Bills which have passed both the aeuses appropriated another $400,O00 making the total nearly $l5.OO0, ,OOO. Original budget requests came to about $l7,500,000.
 Bills passed by the House and now in the Senate call for an ex- "a $2,150,000 appropriations. with J 100000 of 1t for the Veterans Revolving Fund
 Besides estimated revenue ap- proaching $2O,o00.000, there are three Eouse-approved tax bills still before he Senate which would raise an estimated $4,o00,000 more.
 They are the raw fish and can- ned salmon tax, doubled school tax. and higher fish licenses. Their pros- poets of passage. however, are grow ing simmer.
 Three Senators who have sup 'o-ted basic tax legislation. Butro- Wch, Andrew Nerland and Howard Lyng, have indicated on the Senate tloor that they are through voting for tax bills.
