NEIGHBOUR
 BILL VOTED
 BY HOUSE
Measure Given Approval by Representatives
 by 22 10 Z Vote
By JAMES HUTCHINSON

The House passed the Wdge-dour Bill yesterday, p to ?. but Rep. Marcus Jensen, who voted for it, moved for reconsideration today.
 In other action, the House passed a strongly worded memorial against sales in military commits saries to any but military person. mel and limited number of civil ians attached to military posts.
 It was addressed to Congress and military department heads.
 Speakers declared the competi- tion was unfair to tax-pay'ng busi- ness since the military is not sub- ject to freight and sales costs or taxes.
 COMMISSARY SALES
 The charge was made that at Fairbanks the general public can buy freely of military supplies, and Mrs. Essie Dale, Fairbanks Demo- crat said:
 T didn't believe commissary sales were available to outsiders, but I've got three cuts of meat in my locker now for evidence"
 The present military sales prac- tices also brought blasts from Reps. Jack Conright of Anchorage and Warren Taylor and Glen Franklin of Fairbanks, all Democrats.
 Taylor said he had studied the situation extensively and T thought the Kodiak situation. which led to 1.s.al.-g .ss-1. ynaysr. to Washinetpn in protest, was bad, until I found out what's happening at Fair banks" W
 The vote on the memorial was 22-i. Rep. Percy Ipalook, Republi- can from Wales, cast the lone vote against it.
 4O-HOUR WEEK
 The wage-hour bill provides for a 4O-hour week for industry and business in the Territory. with time and a half for time worked above 40 hours. It also sets a minimum wage of $1 an hour.
 Jensen fought a losing battle throughout yesterday n trying to get an exemption for the canning industry on the same basis that 1t is exempted from the Federal far labor standards act-the uncer- tainties of weather and salmon runs. He never could muster more than 10 votes out of "A.
 The two House members who voted against the wage-hour nlil on final passage were Frank G. Johnson of Rake and George Ms covich of Fairbanks. Both are Re- publicans.
 Just before the final vote, Rep James Nolan, Wrangell Democrat, who had supported Jensen's pro posed salmon industry amendments throughout, declared "the intent o1 the bill is good and it is going to pass. We will have to let the future bring any changes needed

Tonnage Tax on Vessels Voted Down W0men's
 Home Bill Postponed
By BOB DeARMoND

After knocking out Senator Riv- CTS proposal for an alternative tonnage tax on fishing and com- mercial vessels, the Senate agreed yesterday afternoon to hold off fur ther action on the General Prop erty Tax Bill until next Monday at D. m, at which time there will be Q general hearing on the measure.
 This is one of the three basic tax measures" said Senator How ard Lyng, who suggested holding e hearing on the Bill Every body who wants to be heard on it should be given the opportunity and by waiting until Monday we will give them chance to come or send representatives from dis tant places in the Territory
 Senator Lyng predicted to re- porters that the Property Tax will pass the Senate by vote of l0-6.
 Two fishermen's representatives spoke regarding Senator Rivers Marine Alternate Clause before it was voted down.
 Drive Boats Below
 Andy Barlow, executive secre- tary of the United Trollers of AL aska, admitted that the tonnage tax is a fair one but said that too high a rate would have tendency to drive boats to the States.
 'The fishing industry is not in good shape and conditions are bet ter below he said, adding that if boats go below to register, the owners may decide to live there.
 "If this tax is too high and is added to all the other taxes the fishermen pay-license, fuel tax, raw fish tax and income tax it may lead to a .tie-up of the fleet because the expenses will be more than we can get for our fish," Barlow warned.
 He felt that the $4 per net ton proposed by Senator Rivers was too high.
 In Washington State, Baglow said, the rate is one-tenth of one per cent on full fair valuation.

MARINES HIT KODIAK ISLES ROCKY 5H0Rf5
Brown Bears Surrender as Leathernecks Move In
 and Take Control
By RALPH DIGHTON

kODlAk, AlaSka, 'rep ll.--tHf-- Two thousand marines are sched- uled to go ashore at Kalsin Bay today in the second landing of the Battle of Kodiak.
 Fifteen hundred leathernecks storlned the beaches at Portage Bay yesterday. They didn't get their feet wet and that is why the Navy is unhappy, though it conced- ed the landing was made perfectly to a split-second sechdule.
 We still don't know the things we came here to find out" said Vice Adm G. F. Began, :. how effective the men would be in this weather if they had made a wet landing.
 wv don't know how many cases of chiIblains and so forth we would have to cope with in addi- tion to casualties inflicted by the enemy"
 He said tie landing today might bring on more difficult conditions.
 The marines landed in Portage Bay under covering fire from ships and carrier planes.
 Sncw-covered Beaches
 Waves of landing craft left the mother ships on schedule and spill ed men and vehicles on the snow covered beach.
 It was the first of two landings designed to ''recapture" Kodiak Island frana a mythical invading force. The assault originally was 10 have taken place in the morn-
 ng, but was postponed because of neavy ], seas and below-freezing emperatures.
 Live ammunition was used by planes and ships in the climax of the mock Battle of Kodiak Is- land" a Navy cold-weather exer- else. Although strategically more important, the landing in Kalsin Bay will be less spectacular. That portion of the island is inhabit- ed by trappers and fishermen, so all firing will be simulated.
 Firing at a desolate area to the eft of the landing beach, cruis- CT and destroyer softened de- lenses for an hour before the land ing. Rocket-firing carrier planes blasted an interior target area. Rockets Steal Show Stealing the show were three LSMR's Handing Ship, Medium, Rocket which launched five-inch rockets against the shore with the speed of machine guns. It was an eerie sight. Not man to be seen on the decks as the rockets were sent on their way Loading and firing of the multiple launchers is done auto ,, matically, controlled by crews be- low decks.
 Not one casualty was reported in the exercises. Later the ma ines returned to their ships. They will be joined by 500 more in to- days assault, in which they Will move enough equipment ashore to set up beachhead. Scanning the island with binocu- lars from one of the vessels in the task force, one officer swore he saw a Kodiak bear come run ming down the mountain slope with his paws raised high in the air. T guess he said, they've sur rendered"

sault in connection with an attack
on a married white woman.
Officers found Honeycut at dawr
yesterday. He was clinging un-
harmed to a tree over-hangine
the Atchafalaya river.
The sheriff said the man had
been in the water about five hours
but managed to keep his head
above the flooded river by holding
to the tree.
There is no doubt in my mind
that this was an attempted lynch
ing" said District Attorney j. Y.
Fontenot.
The three men entered the
courthouse, which houses the jail
here, by pretending one was in
toxicated and that the other two
wanted to leave him in jail over-
night.
Sheriff Gilbeau said the men
held up Henry Landry. the jailer,
at pistol point, took the prisoner
from his cell, and made their get
away in a car. Mr.. Landry. who
is about 70, quickly sounded an
alarm, and Sheriff Gilbeau and
several deputies set out in pursuit.
The abduction occurred early
yesterday.
Honeycut told officers his cap
tors seemed nervous and did not
stop until they reached the river.
While they tossed a coin on a
levee, Honeycut related, he fed in
the darkness.
No immediate trace was found
of his abductorS.
