ST. Thomas Council Threatens
Suit Against GoOernor

st. Thomas Councilmen have
threatened a law suit against
Governor HASTE, if legal adj
vice is favorable, in connec-
ton with Grant-in-Aid APP
pointments. The suit would be
to restrain him from making
such appointments independ-
ent of the Council.
The legislators also threat
ened to insert a provision in
the next budget providing
that no part of the money ap-
propiated be used for match
ing Grant-in-Aid funds unless
the Governor submits such
appointments to the Council.
The threats was the result
of a letter sent to the Council
by Governor HASTE which
stated: "The relationship of
the Governor and the Council
concerning confirmation of
appointments, is defined by
the Organic Act. Any change
of that relationship can be
made and should be attempted
only by amendment to the Or
ganic Act.
"The present system of adj
ministering Grant in All
Funds and appointments, ex-
cept as modified to conform
to merit system practices, ex-
listed before | became Cover
nor. AS measured by the cali
Der of employees recruited for
the Grant-in-Aid programs,
its results have been good.
II have tried to indicate in
my letter of March IA willing
ness to consult with the Mu-
nicipal Council before appoint
ing persons to responsible or
p~olicy-making positions in the
Grant in Aid programs. /
hope this procedure is ~satisfac-
tory to the Council. If it should
not be, it seem to me the rem

Saturday. February IS. l949 (By James Hutcheson)

the House of Representative moved today to take up a bill to create an Alaska national guard.
 The property tax was assured of passage-and a smiling governor Ernest Gruening said he would sign it as soon as it reached his desk when the House concurred in Senate amendments yesterday. The tax imposed a levy of 10 mills, but since cities already have a property tax, administration lead CTS say the new levy will apply only in areas outside cities. Estimated to be worth $2 100000 annually to the Territorial treas ury, the measure includes an in- dustry tax exepmtion incentive clause, a S200 personal property exemption and a valuation on un- improved mining claims of $500. First House action on the na- tional guard bill came yesterday with It. Col. Joseph Alexander describing initial plans to estab- fish Eskimo units of Alaska Scouts throughout the far western areas to serve as military eyes and ears in isolated areas. The bill calls for a force of approximately 1000 men.
 Rep. Frank Angerman, 4th Di- vision Democrat, tried to kill the bill by indefinite postponement Thursday, and yesterday kept up a running fire of amendments, most of which were defeated. Angerman said he had more to offer, but did not indicate what they were. In other legislative develop ments late yesterday, the Senate killed by vote of II to 5 a mea- sure which would double the mo- tor fuels tax.
 Votes for the incerase came pri- marily from one Division - the Third - with Senators Walter Huntley, Victor C. Rivers, Gun hard M. Engebreth and Steve Nc Cutcheon voting ives" along with Sen. Frank Barr of Fairbanks, who introduced the bill.
 The same Third D ivision four lined up in support of $500 tax on sailboats used in Bristol Bay fishing, along with Democrats Howard Lyng, R. M. Mackenzie and Frank Peratrovich, but the measure was defeated 8 to 2.
 These were the first major tax bills voted down in either House during this session. Others have been buried or postponed, but not voted down.
 Tn sponsoring the motor fuels tax, Barr argued the increase was for badly needed road and air port building program. Opposing h'-' was Senator Andrew Nerland Of Fairbanks who said he was happy about the property tax en- ac'ne1t after years of waiting. He added, however, that "this is not the time to curtail new taxes. But ehere will be an upheaval among the people if we pile on any more."
 Senator John c. Butrovich, Jr., said "If we put this added tax on we may not need any farm roads. There may not be any farnfers left"

make that section separate from the raw fish tax bill in which 1t was included by the House.
 Senate president Engebreth and Senator Peratrovich, who presided at the special session, also predict passage of the business license and cigarette tax bills.
 The House approved liquor tax increase bill apparently is doom ed.
 Another taxation development of the week end is on indication the income tax enacted by the spe- cial session may be re-enacted to safeguard against probable legal challenge of it's validity, though Democratic leaders insist the chal- lenge could not be maintained successfully.
 Reliable legislative sources say the measure probably will be re- enacted as a safeguard against prolonged litigation.
 Sources say amendments are likely to be included clarifying the status of such persons as seamen who filed a court suit in Seattle against the withholding tax.
 The House passed a bill creating a national guard Saturday after bitter debate in which some mem bers contended Russia would make propaganda use of any re- fuSal to set up a Territorial mili- tory organization.
 The vo.e was 14-10.
 Democratic Rep. C. A. Pollard said Pravda, official Russian news paper, probably would make headlines" out of any refusal by Alaska to set up a guard organiza- ton because of the Territory's proximity to Siberia.
 "They would probably. say that Alaska, which once belonged to them, wants to come back" Pol land said.
 Rep. Essie Dale said:
 Uncle Joe would have a mighty broad smile on his face if we vote this down."
 The action followed a charge by Rep. Marcus Jensen, First Division Democrat, that Gov. Ernest Gruening had been engaged in undue lobbying for the bill," which calls for a guard unit of ap- proximately 1000 men.
 Jensen said he didn't believe the governor had right to spend two days lobbying for the bill"
 House speaker Stanley Nc Cutcheon, Third Division Demo- crat, said he thought the gover- nor's interest in the bill has brought home the importance of the measure"
 eff the governor doesn't have the right to express an opinion any place or any time to legisla- tors, then I'm badly mistaken" McCutcheon said. "It's not only his right, but his duty to discuss issues with us."
 The bill also provides for a guard unit with broad activity. both in the interior and Boring Sea areas of Alaska. @
 Lt.-Col. Joseph Alexander told the House Friday, however, the initial plan called for establishing Eskimo units along the Boring Sea

HONOLULU, Aug. 1-Hawaii's S
legislative effort to reopen strike
bound ports slowed down today.
A new debate arose over whether
government stevedoring firm

out against the bill drafted by a
special session of the Territorial
Legislature.

hiring of the 1000 stevedores of

Meanwhile, AFL teamsters en-

Gov. Stainback warned the
LEGISLATURE Saturday against an
oppressive law. If the Govern
ment operates stevedoring, 1t
needs the know-how OF manage
ment and workers, he said.
Some legislative leaders in
terpreted the governors message
as indicating he would veto any
bill which blocks the use OF the IN
dustry's trained men.
The House stood firm on the
ban in test votes late Saturday.
But in the Senate strong senti-
ment was developing for outright

right to hire strikers.

An intensive campaign of educa-

conducted throughout the state
during the months of July and
August, the Ohio Department of
Health has announced.
The program will spotlight the
continuing activities of the Ohio

be on enlisting individuals to aid
in the control and eventual elm
ination of venereal disease on a
personal, moral basis.
It's theme will be, wipe Out
Syphilis from Ohio"
The primary purpose of the
two-month campaign will be to
give the largest possible portion
of the population the up-to-date
facts about SYPHILIS, its avoidance
and its cure. Scare techniques
will not be employed. The entire
approach to the problem will be
affirmative, telling what to do.
and as far as possible, how and
why.
