 Natal Measure
By JIM HUTCHINSON

-.1o women members Of the House introduced bills today for marital physical examinations and pre- natal blood tests. The measures were submitted by Reps. Amelia Gundersen and Doris Barnes of the First division. The pre-marital bill would re- luire that the health clearance cer- tliicate be attached to the mar riage license. No marriage could be performed without the clearance except in cases of waivers by U. s. commissioners for special req sons.
 The blood tests Of expectant mothers would have to be taken oy doctors or nurses or by who- ever else is attending the case. A fine of as much as $500 or six months Imprisonment, IS provid- ed in the bill for failure Of the doctor or nurse to comply.
 The House received another bill from Mrs. Barnes this morning and whipped it through three readings to pass 1t in record time. It would provide s1,000 for trans portation of Ludwig Wolf and an attendant from Sitka to the Old Soldiers Home in Washington, D. 2. The bill now goes to the Sen- ate.
 Mrs. Barnes explained that the elderly man had suffered a stroke, is eligible for the Soldiers Home and desires to go there. She said the territory is now paying s7.50 day for his care and 1t would be more economical to pay his transportation to Washington.

Nations Biggest Auto Maker Says Living Costs
 Drop for Fourth Month
By HAROLD w. WARD

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-R- General Motors Corporation today cut prices and wages as the cost of living index dropped for the fourth straight month.
 The price cuts ranged from $l0 to $40 on all GM passenger automo- piles and Chevrolet trucks.
 The wages, tied to the cost of liv- ing index, were reduced two cents an hour for 273,000 production workers. The firms 68,000 salaried employees tcok a flat Sl0 cut Tn quarterly living allowances.
 ~GM, the nations biggest auto maker, attributed the price cuts partly to the pay reductions and partly to lower costs of certain ma- terials.
 The wage reduction was estimated to save $9,000,000 to S10,OC0,000 an- nually in the production workers payroll
 These savings, GM said, are being passed along immediately to the consumer. It was GMs first price cut snce the war
 The individual reductions on Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac will be announce cd later.
 It was also the first wage slash for GM workers under the corpora tion's unusual two year contract with the CIO United Auto Workers. The wages are begged to the ups and downs of the governments cost of living index. The contract still has more than year to run.
 The index showed today that from Dec. IS to Jan. l5 the re- tail prices Sof goods and services purchased by moderate-income city families declined 03 per cent.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-tR- President Trumans notice that he may stump the country for his legislative program drew hop to it. response from Republicans to- day
 MT. Truman, in the down-to- earth lingo he used successfully in last years campaign, told enthus- iastic Democrats at Jefferson-Jac son Day dinners last night that Re- publicans are trying to cripple" la bor unions and hold minimum wages to a starvation level"
 And the capacity crowd cheered as he declared that special inter- ests" on Capitol Hill may compel him to board train again soon ito tell the people how their gov erninent is getting on."
 The Republicans, the President charged, want to destroy the farm price support program and force the government into do nothingv policy which would let the Ameri- can economy slide into depres- sion"
 To this, most Republicans had one answer:
 Let the President first find out how he stands with his own party; then let him appeal to the people.

BARGE GREW
 NOW ASHORE ON ISLAND
Build Makeshift Shack on Trea(herous Grass Island Rescue Effort Fails

CORDOVA, Alaska, Feb. 25.-lR- A woman and two men, grounded on their power barge since Monday, have built a make-shift shack on treecherous Grass Island, aerial ob- servers reported yesterday.
 MT. and Mrs Fred Howard and their son-in-law, Robert Zentmire, waved to the plane from their ply wood and timbered shelter and in- dicated they were not suffering.
 Merle Smith, Cordova Air Service president who flew with three ob- servers, said 60-mile north wind was blowing off the Copper River delta and holding breakers to a minimum, although spray from the combers had iced down the barge, the North Cloud, from stem to stern.
 He warned that the breakers were picking up in severity due to ris- ing southeast wind and that the marooned party would "be in bad shape" if heavy southeaster comes up, as seas sometimes wash com pletely over the island during high CT tides.
 The tides were mounting yester- day afternoon and change of weather was indicated.
 Tug Unsuccessful
 Meanwhile the tugS> >dahalo, which attempted a rescue yesterday, gave up its second try today because of mounting winds and inability to get close inshore. It returned to port here.
 The Coast Guard Cutter Cedar is proceeding from Kodiak and was expected to reach the wreck scene tomorrow morning.
 One of the observers in the plane, Martin Anderson, tricky boatman well acquainted with the waters and flats, left yesterday afternoon in his boat Lady Jane. He said he believed he could cut through the breakers into a narrow channel at the end of the bar and get the trio off.
 He said he expected to arrive about the same time as the Cedar and will assist as the Cedar it. self will be unable to negotiate the channel.
 Leonard Holeman, engineer on the barge, who crossed a treach- erous three mile ice pack and then hiked 28 hours to bring news of the grounding to Cordova, is still in a hospital here for treatment of a frozen foot.

 sion in Arttie

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-tR- The Board on Geographic names has ruled out the use in American document or maps of the Russian name for the Diornede Islands.
 The Diomedes, between Alaska and Siberia. are owned in part by Russia, in part by the United States.
 The Board voted down a proposal that both the Russian term-Ostro- va Diomida-and the conventional "Diomede Islands" be approved for official use
 It approved the English form only, and in effect outlawed the Russian.
 Little Diomede is the name for the American Islam ir. the group. Its Russian name is rot used on American maps
 The Board ruled that since the larger island is Russian-owned, it may be shown or listed either in English-Big Diomede Island-or in Russian, Ostrov Ratmanova.
 Ruled out were such variations as Bolshaya Diomida, Noo- Mar Book, Ratmanoff or Ratmanova Island.
 Board members were careful to point out that the decision could not Ee considered in any manner a slap at Russia. There was no precedent to follow and there is no similar circum- stance.

HOUSE PULLS SOME TEETH
 IN PAY BILL
Punitive Clauses Modified in Equality Bill for
 Women
By JIM HUTCHINSON

The Territorial House unanimous ly passed senate-approved bill yesterday, calling for equal pay for women, but took some of the edge off it.
 The House modified punitive sec tions by inserting a clause that an employer must "wilfully and know ingly" violate the provisions before becoming liable to prosecution and by eliminating a clause for possi- ble imprisonment.
 The measure now returns to the Senate for action on House amend ments.
 The House completed action, also by unanimous vote, on Sen. Victor c. Rivers bill broadening lien rights for labor and materials.
 Among Senate joint memorials winning House approval was one asking the appointment of an Alas kan to the first American vacancy on the International Fisheries Com mission, and expressing opposition to the suggested split halibut sea- son.
 A new bill introduced by Rep. G. E. Almquist, Juneau Democrat, pro- poses $l and $2 taxes on punch boards.
 The women's equal pay bill, in- troduced by Anita Garnick, only woman senator, was the major is- sue among three bills and eight ! memorials ground through the House during the day
 Rep. Warren A. Taylor led the opposition to the strict provisions with the assertion, We are making it crime for every difference of opinion between employer and em- ployee."
 Rep. Frank Angerman, also a Fairbanks Democrat charged the opposition was again trying to de- stroy a bill which is for labor's benefit"
 One bill fell by the wayside. Rep c. Carlson's measure for remission of all motor fuel tax receipts from boats for a waterfront and harbor facilities fund polled an lilo vote but fell short of the 13 votes re- quired for a full House majority.
 Among Senate Joint Memorials winning House approval were those for federal study of the territorys need of an institution for the in- sane (by Dawes); asking for bol- stering of Alaskan economy by al- lowing the fullest participation of Alaska firms and labor in govern ment construction and adjustment of contracts so they can be handled locally (by Rivers).
 The House passed total of eight memorials and three bills yesterday All were approved unanimously ex- cept the memorial on an institution for the insane It had one vote against it.
 Others approved included:
 HB 63 (by Egan)-Appropriating $2,182 for wolf, coyote and hair sea bounties which have not been paio because of technicalities.
