CEASE FIRE I5 ASKED IN
 CHINA WAR
Battered Nationalist Gov. ernment Requesting
 Peace Negotiations
,By The Associated Press)


 Nationalist China asked the conquering Communists today for cease fire and immediate peace negotiations. The armies Of Pres ident Chiang Kai-shek have been : battered so thoroughly. it seemed , unlikely they could offer much more than token battle The action was by the Executive Yuan which is controlled by Chiang. IL may negotiate for peace but the Legislative Yuan must approve it's decisions.
 The government, in deference to the general wishes of the people for an early realization of peace, here by makes known it's desire for both government and Communits forces to cease fire internationally and immediately and for both sides to appoint delegates to start peace ne- gotiations, the Executive Yuan said in a statement.
 Whether the Communists, aflush with triumph after triumph over Chiang's inept generals and troops, would agree to talk peace remain ed to be seen. The answer seem ed to lie in how tired the Com munists might be from capturing Manchuria and virtually all North China.
 Communist leader Mao Tse- -tung issued radio ultimatum last week calling in effect for total sur render of the Chiang government 1 China has been conquered many times in the past and invariably swallows her conquerers. Many in Washington and other world capi- tals have expressed belief the Com munists never can actually take control of the docile peasants and coolies who are individualists and form the great bulk of the popula- tion.
 Foreign diplomats in Nanking were informed that the Chiang government will start moving south to Canton Friday. Most embassies wanted to stay at Ranking, which is in immediate peril of capture by the Communists. The older cap- ital of Peiping is surrounded by Reds and separate peace talks are on there.

 REPORTED ABANDONED

The Juneau American Legion Post has temporarily abandoned it's plans to give Juneau a Civic Theatre program. The decision was made at Monday nights regular meeting and announced today.
 The action was taken after Civic Theatre Committee Chairman Bob Druxman told the members that there is no building in Juneau suit able for the presentation of pro- fessional entertainment on a proper basis. He reported that he had been considering the 20th Century The atre but its stage facilities were found to be too small for regular use. There are no other large enough buildings, he declared.

BARTLETT 0pp05E5 DELICATE VOTING
 BILL BY BUTLER

WASHINGTON, Jan l9-LR--- Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said to- day he is against a bill by Sena- tor Butler tR-Nebl which would give voting privileges in the House to the ds'egates from Alaska and Hawaii. The delegates now can take part in debates but have no vote. ! Alaska is now in the submerged status of a colonial dependency, , Bartlett said. Passage of such a bill as that proposed by Senator Butler would only serve to put us in the never never land
 Tt would provide no answer at all to Alaskan problems. A voting
 representative in the House is not ; sufficient. We must have statehood with ! two voting Senators and one vot- ing House member"

 For Alaska a

FAIRBANKS, Aiasaa, Jan. 19.- IR-A move to unify agricultural re- search in Alaska under single pro- gram was disclosed here today in an announcement by U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture official.

 ans total of $675.000 of federal funds for agricultural experiments in Alaska. It also contains $66,00C for proposed federal grant foi university agriculture expe rimen' stations.
 The proposed territorial budget for the next biennium proposes tht expenditure of $910,000 for univer. sity agriculture experiment work. 4 plan to make these funds available to finance the proposed joint pro, gram now is under consideration. Two other agriculture depart. ment officials took part in the dis cussions-S. F. Fracker, research coordlnator, and E. c. Elting, asso' eiated chief of the office of expert ment stations.
 They met with Dr. Charles E Bunnell, President of the University lof Alaska; members of the boarc of regents, individual farmers ant l farm groups.

RECLAMATION MEN SPEND WEEK ON
 ARCTIC ICE PACK

After living for a week on the Arctic ice pack undergoing U. s. Air Forces Arctic indoctrination at Nome, three field workers with the U. s. Bureau of Reclamation were back in Juneau today, wiser for their experience.
 The men were sent to learn tech- niques of survival in Arctic condi- i, tions, to prepare them for winter field trips into interior Al which are to begin within few weeks.
 According to Richmond Johnson the Reclamation Bureaus Alaska Investigations office assistant direc- tor, field men will be heading into
 country where knowledge of how to live in extreme cold will be of ut most importance. For Smoke" Thomas, old hand at
 Arctic living after spending most of his life in the north country, the trek to Nome was more in an advis- ory capacity.
 For A. E. Jaskar, geologist, and Don Ellery, field man, it was their first experience in living on an ice
 pack.
 The three men left here two weeks ago and were joined at An chorage by Daryl Roberts, Division
 Engineer of the Reclamation Bu- reau's office there. The four men then went on to Nome to join U. S.
 Air Forces groups which are train- ] ing under the direction of Major
 Stanley Shields.
 According to Thomas, weather on the ice pack during the week which the men spent there was mild. By
 mild, he explained, it was only
 about 16 degrees below zero with a 20 mile an hour wind. The tenn perature did get down to minus 1 22, he added.
 Men lived in snow houses and
 snow caves, using survival rations'
 and all emergency equipment that is
 put aboard Air Forces planes fol use in case of crash landings in
 Arctic wastes. Main purpose of the
 indoctrination program on the part
 of the military service, Thomas
 said, is to test reactions of men ir
 extreme cold, and to test efficiency
 of equipment. Main purpose of tht
 trek for Reclamation workers Wal to give them a foretaste of Arctic weather conditions.

RESOLUTION
 TO SUSPEND
 HIRING LAW
Would Allow Legislature 10 Employ AIiens-S Appropriated for Special

The House of Representatives yes- terday afternoon passed three reso- lutions, all of them having to do with members or employees of the legislature.
 House Joint Resolution No. l is designed to extract the House from the embarrassing position of hav- ing acted contrary to the laws of the Territory in hiring a non-citi- zen, Mrs. Eleanore Hinke, as typ ist on the clerical force.
 Section 11-1-4, Alaska Compiled Laws Annoted 1949, the Resolution sets forth, gives citizens of the United States the exclusive right to employment by the Territory of AL aska by prohibiting compensation to non-citizens.
 Mrs Hinke is citizen of Canada, although she has applied for citi- zenship in the United States. The resolution cites a shortage of per- sons in Juneau with the qualifica- tions of stenographers to meet the need of the legislature and suspends the law with respect to legislative employees for the duration of the special and regular sessions.
 PAY BILL PASSED
 A second resolution, H.J.R. No. 2 was passed twice by the House, the second time in slightly revised form This is the pay bill for the special session and appropriates $56,8l9 GOT so much thereof as may be neces- sary" for carrying on the session.
 As first passed, the Resolution provided for the payment of mileage and travel time to the members, as we'll as sl5 per day as pay and the same amount as per diem. Since legislators will receive mileage from the Federal government for the reg ular session, this would have paid the members twice for making one trip to Juneau.
 After the Resolution had been passed, reporters at the press table called the attention of several ot the House members to the wording of the measure and it was called back revised and passed second time.
 The Resolution appropriates S8,- 664 for the salaries of persons en- ployed by the Legislature, Sl0,20C for salaries of Senators and Repre- sentatives, S4,850 for printing. $2,50O for stationery and supplies and $30,- 900 for per diem and other expens- es.
 The third of the trio of Resolu- tions will allow Representatives Carlson, Egan, Ipalook, Miscovich and Taylor to draw full pay for the special session although they ar

Copyright, l949, by Bell syndicate lhc.) WASHINGTON January is a month when we have come to think of inaugurating Presidents and of raising money for children who cannot walk.
 In addition to children, newspap- ermen became so long accustomed to President who also could not walk, that they have been little slow to realize that the President of the United States can now drop in on his friends on Capitol Hill without the least effort, and can amble in an out of the Capitol's entrances as fast as anyone else when he takes the oath of office.
 For so many years was it neces- sary to build long, slanting ramps up inclines in order to avoid steps for the President, that people in Washington became quite accus- toned to it and took it for granted.
 And during all the years Frank lin Roosevelt was in office, the newspaper, including those hostile to him, said almost nothing about his infirmity. Even in private conversation people did not talk too much about the fact that the Pres ident could not walk. They just felt sorry for him and didn't men, tion it.
 Only on his birthday was his in- firmity brought home to the public,
