Legislature Nears Conclusion
By James Hutcheson

Juneau (P)-The territorial
 legislature heads toward tEe fi' nal week of the regular session with the governors call for a special extension hanging over it if sll major legislation is not
 cleared.
 However there is increasing
 opinion among lawmakers of
 both parties that ii the house speeds up passage of the record i $t2, ,5OO,oO0 general appropria- tions bill it will clear the way for the completion of the blg job.
 Deadl.ne for adjournment is Friday morning.
 Both houses have spent most |of their time since Monday night cleaning up secondary bills and memorials to get them out of the way before heading into the final stretch.
 The rules governing the last 5 days of the session call for con- sideration of only appropriation and revenue bills
 Legislative leaders predict the budget will be balanced at 8. round, $l7,0GO.OO0 with old and new revenue measures produc. ing a surplus.
 Governor Ernest Gruening 8. greed last week to call a special session if it was absolutely nee essary", but suggested that leg islators "streanllne" their work in an effort to faish their pres. ent session on time. Legislative action was com. pleted late Friday on the bill creating @ Territorial Depart. ment of Fisheries. The house concurred unanimously in the senate's amendments. (See page 5 for details of bill ) The governor signed into law the general business license tax which is part of a basic tax pro- gram he has long advocated. The bill doesn't become effective
 until after Congress repeals an act under W hich present m'sceil. | aneous b lsiness license taxes are collected.

Washington Oks
 Two Local Claims

Washington (P) - The house has approved a bill to pay Jacob Johnson of Kodiak $15,1O3 for the loeses of young foxes due to defense activities near his Crooked Island fox farm in Kod- iak Channel.
 Johnson said military opera tions caused fox mothers to kill their young in l941, 1922, l943, and 1914. The army and navy agreed that their operations, mostly plane flights over the farm, caused the loss. Johnson claimed the loss of 235 fox pups in l94I; 250 in l942; v in I943; and S4 in l944. He asked $26,699 but the comm ittee reduced the amount. The bill now goes to the senate.
 MT. Johnson sold his island a. bout 3 years ago to MT. and Mrs Al Nixon and has been travelling in the states since then. Crooked Island lies between Holiday and Popoff islands.
 The house also approved and sent to the senate a bill to pay the Bank of Kodiak $3,0OO fol mutilated currency it withdrew from circulation and sent to the Treasury Department. The ship. ment was lost on the steamer Yukon when it sank early in l946.
 Kodiak - Marshall Crutcher, president of the Bank of Kodi- ak, explained that the mutilated currency IS shipped to the treas. ury department at no expense to the bank, but that technicali- ty arose over whether it was properly registered. A complete list of the currency had been made by o. A. Torgerson, then president. aDG verified by the postmaster, but the treasury de- partment claimed there was no eyewitness to It's sinking on the Yukon.
 The bank finally wrote to De- legate Bartlett asking him to in- troduce a bill authorizing re-im bursement, and it was introduc. ed at the last session of Congress but did not reach the floor of the house. Another blli was in. troduced this year.
 eff we live long enough, we may yet get our 5000" MT. Crutcher said yesterday.

HELLO, FOLKS. Another
young singer on the way UP is
the lovely Adele Addison, So
prano, who sang Sunday night,
March 20 at horticultural Hall
on the Becker College concert
series. 1t was the second of
four concerts sponsored by the
college and was offered to the
public free of charge upon APP
plying for tickets. A policy of
the series is to present young
artists who have shown defin-
tie talent and are not yet widely
known to the public. Music
critic Clifford Fowler Green said.
Miss Addison demonstrated
that she possesses a definite
talent for singing, disclosing a
voice Of uncommon beauty and
with vocal requisites that go to
make a completely satisfying
singer" Music critic Raymond
NORM said, "The most striking
attribute of Miss Addison's voice
is its completely natural quail
ity.' In fact, it is SO natural that
it makes you unaware Of vocal
ism. Equally natural is her
style, and every phrase seems
to emanate from within, as if
there could be no other way Of
expressing it," AT the conclu-
sion Of the program the audi
ence was reluctant to leave. Miss
Addison responded with three
encores. On Palm Sunday af-
ternoon, April 10, she will sing
in Boston at Jordan Hall under
the auspices of the Women's
Service Club The Cameo
