LIFTING THE LID AT JUNEAU
Continued from Page One)

Gruenlng, highly pleased over passage of the income tax bill, was all set to affix his signature late yesterday. But a delay in getting the law into it's final form post poned the signing until today.
 After the Senate had given it's apprval, 13 to 3, the House speed fly concurred in minor amend ments to speed the measure to the Governors desk.
 The only other proposal to gain legislative acceptance yesterday was an appropriation of $42,000 for special sessions expenses and legislators salaries. Senate amend ments were given a house Okeh after the upper chamber had elim- mated round-trip mileage allow anCes for the special session.
 Bills which are stalled in the Senate and appear to have no change of passage include doub- ling he school tax per person, in creasing lobbyist registration fees, tipping the raw fish tax and the catch-all business license tax. JUNEAU lP)-A group of Third Division Legislators disclosed Sat urday a plan for a shortcut to statehood.
 They decided at a caucus Fri day night to introduce bill at the opening of the regular legislative session today which would set up machinery to beat out Hawaii as the 18th State.
 A convention would be provided to draft an Alaskan State ConSti- tuition without waiting any longer for Congress to open the state hood gate.
 The legislators said that records show II States drafted constitu- tions before Congress enacted en- abling acts for them.
 Rep. Stanley McCutcheon, Dem Ocrat floor leader who described l949 as the year fo golden oppor- unity" for becoming the 49th State, said the tentative plan calls for the holding of a convention and the election of two Congress men and two Senators.
 In effect it would tell Congress Here we are" when it convenes for its second session next Janu- ary, McCutcheon explained.
 The tentative strategy is this:
 Ae referendum vote for a con- vention would be held promptly. It would authorize constitutional convention to meet immediately upon the legislatures adjourn ment in March. Legislators would choose nine others to sit with them in convention. Four of the nine would be federal judges, to con- tinue the numerical theme that would total 49.
 The draft of the constitution then would be submitted to the voters for ratification at a special election and a plan would be out lined for electing Senators and Congressmen.
 McCutcheon said that attorney general Ralph Rivers will assist in drafting the bill over the week end. He added that Governor Gruening endorsed the idea when it was presented to him this week.

Red Torture of Uniote Bishops
InRomonio Charged by Vatican
Czech Archbishop
Reported Held in
Wall of Silence
By the Assceicted Press

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia. June
23.-Catholic priests said today
that Czechoslovakia's Communist
government has succeeded in
clamping a wall OF silence around
Archbishop Josef Beran.
The archbishop is in semi
captivity now in his palace In
Prague. The informants said all
their contacts with him had been
broken of since last week end.
Vatican informants and in
formed diplomatic sources here
expressed the belief that Arch
bishop Beran might be formally
arrested at any time. The Com
munist regime has accused him of
antistate agitation. He has re-
sisted the Communists campaign
to bring the church under state
control and to crush the influence
OF the Vatican In Czschoslovakia.
The diplomatic sources said they
thought it was only a question Of
time until the Communists be-
lieved they had built up their case
against the archbishop sufficiently
to bring 1t to a showdown.
According to the priests here.
the Communists seem now to have
sealed any loopholes through
which the archbishop might SNUG
gle another pastoral letter Of def
ance from his police-guarded
palace.
Last week end Archbishop Be
ran emerged from the palace and

Close Senate Vote Due
On Injunction Clause
In Labor Measure
Finoi Result Doubtful
Despite Defect on Other
PIons to HondIe Strikes
BY the Assoeioied Prsn

Both its friends and foes today
predicted a close Senate vote on
whether to keep the Taft-Hartley
laws Injunction provision against
critical strikes.
Backers of the injunction won a
pair of preliminary victories late
yesterday when the Senate sound
ly defeated two other plans for
dealing with strikes which threaten
the national welfare.
But the Senators in that pro-
Injunction group said they are
keeping their fingers crossed. And
those opposed to the Injunction
method declared they still are In
the running.
Senate Majority Leader Lucas
one of those against the Taft
Hartley provision. pus 1t this way:
The vote 10 going to be vcry
close, and / think we have
chance to beat the injunction"
On the other side. Senator
George, Democrat. Of Georgia,
said:
II think those of us who want
to retain the injunction have a
slight edge. but the vote is gong
TO be very. very close"
In yesterdays balloting. the
Senate first rejected. SIS to II. the
Dougias-Aiken plan for handling
national emergency labor disputes.
It called for authorizing Govern
ment seizure of struck plants for
up to 90 days.
Because of a peculiar parlia-
mentary situation, that plan was
due for a second vote. perhaps to-
day. Its hackers expected 1t to
pick up quite a few votes on the
second round. with the issue mar
rowed to q choice between seizure
and the Injunction.
After batting down the first
round amendment offered by Sem
ators Douglas, Democrat. Illinois
and Aiken. Republican. Vermont.
the Senate next swamped ma
tional emergency plan sponsored
by Senator Ives. Republican. New
York. The vote was 81 to Is.
Under the Ives amendment.
Congress would have been re-
