MORALS
 APPROVED BY. LEGISLATURE
By JAMES HUTCHINSON

Dy OA4vAA1O AAo | SAAASOOA"
 The Alaska Senate voted l5 to 1 yesterday afternoon to submit a memorial to Congress asking im- mediate legislation abe, -shing fish traps in the territory.
 The memorial was introduced in support of Delegate E. L.. Bartlett's bili m Congress for gradual elimina- tion of the traps over a l0-year pe- riod. Such action was favored last year in a territorial referendum.
 The only dissenting vote was cast by Sen. E. B. Collins, Fairbanks, Re- publican, who said he thought the Senate should simply go on record in favor of Bartlett's measure. Col lins' statement brought an immedi- ate response from Sen. Victor 0. Rivers Anchorage Democrat, that;
 We must fulfill the mandate of the referendum"
 The Senate also unanimously passed another memorial to Con- gress supporting second Bartlett bill to provide $l5,o0o0o0 for an AL aska Housing Authority. This me- morial already had House approval.
 E. Glen Wilder, head of the AL aska Housing Authority, told the Senators that funds would be used largely for loans to individuals if authorized by Congress.
 ASK WAIVER
 It was memorial afternoon in the Legislature as the House passed one previously approved by the Senate asking Congressmen to waive provis- ions of the Passenger Act and Jones Act so Canadian vessels could car- ry passengers and freight to and from skagway and Haines.
 The memorial, introduced by Sen. R. M. Mackenzie, Ketchikan Demo- crat, cited only token service" by American ships to the two towns.
 The House vote was 21 to 1, with the lone ballot against Icing turned in by Rep. Alfred A. Owen. Jr., who said he feared it would be letting the camel get his nose into the tent in competition with American flag ships"
 WAGE COLLECTIONS
 The House spent more than 2A hours discussing a bill to tighten wage collection statutes. It would require pay days at least monthly and make the Territory foot the bill for wage suits brought by the Commissioner of Labor after hear ings.
 The measure was held over for final action today after the House defeated an amendment proposed by Rep. Glen Franklin, Fairbanks Democrat, to make an employe pay for any such cases he lost in court.
 A minor bill passed by the Senate after previous House approval pro- vldes an additional $500 for the Office.
 Other bills introduced include one by Sen. Anita Garnick, Juneau Re- publican, to give equal pay for women and one ty the House Labor Committee to establish board of plumbers and make licensing man. datory.

BIG PROJECT APPROVED
 AT EkLUTNA
Reclamation Bureau 5 Rec ommendation 0kehed
 by Interior Dept.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l.-R- The Interior Department said to- day it has approved construction of a s21.5SO.9o0 hydroelectric pow CT project near Anchorage, Alaska.
 Ass stant Secretary of the Inter- for William E. Warne said con- struction of the Eklutna Lake pro- ject at the earliest practical time is highly desirable"
 The department approved a Re- clamation Bureau recommendation of the project.
 Warne described the Bureaus re- pert as "step forward under the coordinated federal program for opening up access to Alaska's rich resources"
 The report was sent to other in- terested federal agencies and the Governor of Alaska for comment before it is submitted to Congress.
 fTOpOSeO fTOJcct
 The project includes a low dam to raise the level Of Eklutna Lake and diversion of water from Fix lutna Creek through a four and one-half mile tunnel to 30,000 kilowatt power plant short dis tance north of the present 2,000 kilowatt Eklutna power plant.
 Reclamation Commissioner Mich ael w. Straus said $20,365.400 of the estimated cost would be repaid from power revenues over a 52- year period at three per cent in tf rest. The rest of the cost would represent non-reimbursable recreational facilities.
 Secondary Power
 Straus said the project, in addi- tion to providing power for mili- tary and industrial purposes, would produce a large amount of secon- cary power, some of which could be used in irrigation.
 The report noted expanding ac- tivities in the area include the Matanuska Valley farming area, Fort Richardson army base and Elemendorf Airfield, as well as itself.
 StrauS said the air field and army base raise the possibility of a protected type" power plant as a military safeguard.
 He suggested the added cost of such an installation, if required, should be non-reimburSable.

BLIZZARD IN TEXAS
 ABAT|NG
DrizzIe Warming Up Set- lions Where Great Crop
 Loss Reported
(By The Associated Press)

Texas most bitter and destruc- tive blizzard on record gave up most of its frosty sting today.
 Low clouds and an early morning drizzle warmed up the lower Rio Grande valley where millions of dollars in damage was done to fruit groves and vegetable gardens by yesterdays 23-degree weather.
 Warmer temperatures also were recorded along the coast.
 Central and north Texas had an- other bitter night.
 Snow In Panhandle
 A light snow fell in parts of the Panhandle early today, but tenn peratures were rising. It was 10 degrees at Amarillo at 12:30 a. m. Skies were mostly clear but tenn peratures were on the chilly side over virtually all the rest of the country
 The fair weather was welcome in the western blizzard area where relief operations were increased as military and civilian forces con- tinued their efforts to aid the snow bound and hungry humans and livestock.
 Cold Belt Extensive
 Temperatures moderated over some parts of the frost-bitten south. The mercury again was far below freezing in Tennessee, northern Mississippi, northern AL abama and most of Arkansas At Bowling Green, Ky, it was 3 de- grees above zero.
 There was a fresh cold wave in the northern and central plains.
 North Dakota and northern Min nesota had the coldest weather.
 Early morning lows in North Da- kota were IS to 20 degrees below zero and in Minnesota 10 to IS below
 Financial Aid
 The U. s. Weather Bureau said southern and central Florida were the only sections of the country with warm weather.
 Meanwhile, as the fight in the western blizzard area continued, the Senate's s3.0c0,0OO bill to aid in relief work was before the House Appropriations Committee. President Truman had a new re- quest from Rep. Granger (D-Utah) that $5,000,000 be provided but Congress was in recess until Thurs day.
 Orders Given Army
 The President ordered the Army to put any of it's resources needed in the fight against the January snowstorms in the western plains and Rocky Mountain region.
 The snow disaster headquarters of the Red Cross was shifted from St. Louis to Omaha. There were scores of cases of hardship in the storm-stricken area and rescue workers made new efforts to break through the huge snow drifts to reach marooned families.
