THREE E5kIM05 OF KING ISLAND
 BELIEVED LOST

NOME, Jan. 18.-tR- Officials Of Marks Air Force Base announced abandonment today of their search for three King Island Eskimo hunt CTS who were swept out to sea on an ice floe January 2.
 The search was dropped after four Air Force planes made 14 flights of the area, assisted by three natives and bush pilot Tex Zeigler. The flights covered the area from Point Hope to St. Law renee Island, and to within 20 miles of the Siberian Coast.

FW5 PARTY FINDS
 DEER SITUATION
 MUCH IMPROVED

The critical feeding situation for deer seems to be much tette1 than at the time of the last report, ac- cording to Fish and Wildlite Serv- ice observations last weekend.
 The recent thaw and rain great ly improved the deer situation, . commented w. A. Elkins, wildlife management supervisor.
 Elkins, with Urban c. Nelson, biologist, and Robert Meek, pilot, covered Seymour Canal and Oliver Inlet Friday
 They saw about 134 deer on the beaches and found only one dead, a faun. which apparently had fallen from a cliff above steep bank, and broken its back.
 About 20 deer were seen from remarkably close range-all ap- Iparently in good condition, as had been the taun.
 There, and around Thane. where we went the previous Sunday" said Nelson, "the situation looked bet ter than we had expected. Of course, it can change over night Too, we cannot te sure it is that good between here and the ocean. '
 The party observed a great many waterfowl, but could not make comparisons without figures for previous years.

TICKETS NOT
 EXEMPT FOR TAX PAYMENT
Senate Puts Crirp in Plans House Measure Kill
 ed by 47-44 Vote

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.--tR- The Senate voted 47 to A today against exempting inaugural parade and hall tickets from federal amusement taxes.
 The action was a stunning up- set to the administration and killed a House-approved bill to exempt them
 Democratic leaders were beaten in series of maneuvers in which they hoped to get the action re- considered while Republicans aimed to clinch it.
 The result left up in the air the question of what will be done about thousands of dollars worth of tick cts already sold without collection of taxes.
 Tickets have been sold to seats along the route of the inaugural parade and to an inaugural ball.
 The Senate also rejected pro-, posal to exempt state and county agricultural fairs from taxes on admission tickets.
 Senator Baldwin tR-Connt made the proposal as an amendment to a resolution to exempting inaug- ural tickets from the amusement levy The resolution already has House approval.
 Tn the House. Democratic lead fer Mccormack Mass. said he hopes for vote next week to raise the nations minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour. COP Leader Martin protested that a { bill of such importance should have full committee study first.
 Meanwhile. the administration proposed stop-gap six months ex- tension of the voluntary agreements anti-inflation law which the COP majority put through the last Con- gress. The act expires Feb 28. Chairman Spence tD-Ky) of the House Banking Committee said the plan is to give Congress time to study President Truman's broader economic program. In addition to the six-months calender on other economic legislation, he offered bill to keep export controls in eff feet until June 30, 1851.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

(Copyright. ls4s. by Bell Syndicate, Incl WASHINGTON-There has been divorce between two of the big names in Public Housing-Sen. Bob Taft, Ohio Republican. and Sen. Allen Ellender, Louisiana Demo- crat.
 For several years, their names have been linked on the controver- sial Taft -Ellender- Wagner Housing Bill which has never quite sneaked through Congress. Today, however, Ellender is leading group of Democrats and Taft group of Republicans in separate, though similar bills.
 Here is the inside story of what happened:
 The government housing agencies matched bill which they rushed over to Ellender's office to be in- trcduced in the very early days of the new session. The Senator from Louisiana promptly phoned Taft and invited him to join as CO., sponsor.
 Taft wanted to study the bill first, but Ellender insisted upon in- troducing it that same day.
 So Taft asked for an explanation of the bill over the phone.

POWER STILL SHORT, pA(.
 NORTHWEST
Charges Are Hurled by Industrial Executives
 Against BPA
CBv The Associated Press)


 There was still a crucial power shortage in the Pacific Northwest today, but there was no shortage of words about it.
 Speakers at conference of utility and industrial executives in Se- attle placed the blame for the situa- tion on the Bonneville Power Ad- ministration's sales to the aluminium industry.
 Kenneth Fisher, an executive of the Fisher Flouring Mills, and L. E. Karrer, executive vice-president of the Puget Sound Power and Light Company, said the BPA oversold it's capacity and is dipping deep into the Pacific Northwest power pool to meet it's commitments.
 Bonneville power administrator, Paul Raver, bounced a hot retort: "Ridiculous."
 Dr. Raver said he doubted utility operators were in position to give an objective opinion on wheth- CT too much Columbia River power is going into aluminium payrolls and production
 He added that at pm. yester- day the BPA delivered 525,000 kilo- watts to the private power compan- ies of the northwest over and above the power it delivered to the alum mum companies and to it's public power agencies This, he said, was 25,O0O kilowatts more than the ad- ministration's contractual commit ments to the private power compan- ies.

WRANGELL PROTESTS
 TAX BILL

The Territorial Senate this morn ing received and ordered spread upon it's journal a communication from the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce protesting the passage of any bills that will increase the tax burden of persons who own prop erty within municipalities in the Territory.
 The only furry of the short fore noon session came when Senator E. B. Collins, chairman of the Ju- dietary Committee, announced that his committee is holding several bills in which reference is made to Alaska Compiled Laws, Annotated l949." Reason for this. Collins said, is that until the Governor signs House Bill No adopting the com pilation as the Code of Alaska, the reference has no meaning
 Senator Victor Rivers immediate ly took Senator Collins to task, charging the usurpation of unright full powers by the Judiciary Com mittee for the purpose of blocking legislation. The committee, Rivers said, should report out its bills be- cause the code adoption measure would be approved before these bills can be enacted.
 Senator Collins denied any stall ing tactics. '"The reference has no meaning until the code is adopted" he said, "and the hill might just as well refer to the Sears Roebuck catalog"
 Senator John Butrovich, despite the Attorney Generals opinion to the contrary, felt that none except revenue measures should be consid- cred during the special session.
 The Senate recessed until pm. and its Taxation and Revenue Committee, headed by Senator Riv- CTS, went into session.
