 MAY PLAN
 REB UIL D

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-R- A plan to rebuild the Republican Par ty from the grass roots up, through State and regional conferences, may be proposed to the COP National Committee at Omaha, Neb. next week.
 Senator Brewster of Maine told a reporter the idea of sectional meet ings has been discussed by the Sen ate Republican Policy Committee.
 The Senate group yesterday de- manded that the national committee consult with the lawmakers before calling any national policy drafting conference such as suggested by COP Chairman Hugh D. Scott, Jr.
 It instructed Brewster and Sen- ators Capehart of Indiana, Wherry of Nebraska and Butler of Nebraska to urge the party group to name a committee at it's Omaha meeting to study the national conference plan, but to delay any actual call until later.
 There sems to be quite a bit of sentiment for starting the work of rebuilding the party on State level, followed by regional confer ences,' Brewster said

 OF SE5Si0N

Chances that the General Prop erty Tax Bill will pass during the special sess on dWindled almost to nothing this morning when the Senate voted 8-8 not to suspend it's rules to advance the bill The spe- cial session is expected to end this afternoon or evening.
 The Senate did pass the House Bill to increase the per diem allow ance for legislators from S7 to Sl5 per day, Senators Collins. Jones and MunZ voting in the negative.
 The vote of these Three Muske- teers drew the comment from Sen ator Andrew Nerland that presum- ably the three would refuse the checks for per diem as illegal. They will he able to go home and tell the voters that they opposed the bill to increase their own pay" Nerland said.
 "Is the senator now trying to square himself with the voters of the Fourth Division?" Senator Co., lins wanted to know.
 After considerable debate, the Senate also passed HJR 1, to ex- smpt legislative employees from the law which prohitits payment of compensation to non-citizens.
 The greater portion of the morn ing session was devoted to the Gen. eral Property Tax Bill and to the Taxation Committees report, which recomme nded the adoption of sev- eral amendments. T he proposed amendments would, among other things, cut the personal property exemption from s2500 back to S2OO and would place valuation of $500 instead of s10O on unpatented min ing claims.

Passenger Hangs Upside Down for 20 Hours-Pi!ot
 IsSurvivor- -HospitdIized

ANCHORAGE. Alaska, Jan. 22.-- 1.-TWO survivors of an Alaska Air. lines DC-3 plane crash were hos ptalized here today after being cut free from the wreckage. One. passenger. had hung upside down against his safety belt for 20 hours.
 Four others died when the trans rort smashed into a hillside on the Renal Peninsula Thursday night.
 The man who dangled head down. ward in the shattered plane was Peter Palmero. of San Francisco. the other survivor was Capt. R. D. Land, pilot of the ill-iated craft.
 Rescue crews reported the body of Stewardess Lucina Nims of Ever son, Wash, had not been found. Fem nine clothing was seen in a tan2le of debris in the middle of the wreckage and it was assumed her hody was there. Also aboard were co-pilot Robert Stevens of Seattle, Roscoe Speacs of Dillingham;, Alas ka, and Stanlny Hillman oI Anchor age.
 Palmero was in critical condi- tion and Land, whose home is An chorage. is in serious condition at a hospital here. Both had frozen feet and other injuries.
 SHOUT SHOWS LIFE
 The uers. who at first thought there were no survivors, had started to hack their way into the wreckage when they heard shout. They found Paimero hanging up- side down. unable to unfasten his safety belt.
 The two surv-vors were brought out by 9 ski-equipped plane. Re- turning for bodies. it Tipped over in landing. but it's crew was unhurt.
 The airliner had stopped at Hom- CT, Alaska, on scheduled flight. and was due at Anchorage at l0:59 pm. tPST) Thursday. A searching B-l7 from the Tenth Rescue squad- ron sighted the wreckage at APO am. and shortly before noon yes terday ground party from Homer reached the scene.
 CRY STARTS APPEAL
 When the rescuers heard Paimeros cry they sent out an appeal for tars. saws and axes, relaying the message through B-l7 cruising overhead
 The hospital here at first had report Spears was survivor, but 1t was Land who was brought in for treatment. Palmero was the first man taken from the craft and flown to Anchorage. It was not known if either of the two had femained conscious all through the 20-hour ordeal
 Donald E. Brown, squadron sur geon, and a medical technician, ac- ompanied the rescue crew. It was Brown who sent back word that only the two had survived the crash.
 The word that there were sur vivors came after a ground party from Homer reached the scene and radioed that all were dead. The airline started notifying relatives to that effect. Then came the second report.

NEW HOOVER PROPOSAL l5
 ADvAN NCED
Different Management for Territories, Occupied
 Areas, Marshall Plan
By STERLING F. GREEN


 WASHINGTON, March 25-IR- The Hoover Commission today ask sd Congress to consider creating a new Administration of Overseas Affairs to manage Territories, oc- cupied areas and the Marshal Plan.
 The report, next to last in the Commissions series of Is on govern ment reorganization, made no flat recommendation for laws to cure what it called the present "confus- on, inconsistencies and uncertain ty" in the handling of overseas re- sponsibilities.
 But it declared that, of three likely solutions, such an indepen- tent agency holds the greatest possibilities" of ending confusion and serious friction" among the offices now sharing the job-the Army, Navy, State and Interior De- parts and four Independent agen- cies.
 Former President Herbert Hoover, chairman of the l2-member, bi- partisan commission, went further. He declared the agency should be set up immediately. Two other members shared his views-James K. Pollock, political scientist, and George H. Mead, Ohio industrialist.
 If Congress adopts the suggestion, he new administration would take over, among other things:
 The governing territories ot Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, from the Inter or DeLartment.

NEW TERRITORIAL OFFICE BUILDING
 BILL IS CkkYED
Junsda Expected io Gef Get Structure Ifs
 Up fo Board

The question of whether the pro- jected territorial office building and possibly the future state capital should be in Juneau or north of the Gulf" brought an hours wrang- ling in the House again last night. Before the legislature adjourned Governor Gruening had signed the measure.
 The bill for the building, with a s660,oOo appropriation, passed both houses with the proviso that the Territorial Board of Administration shall pick the site. After the Senate approved the bill by slim 9 to ', knocking out the House-inserted Palmer location, the House con- cured by Is to g vote.
 It caught the Third Division dele gation by surprise and they didn't waste any time trying to mend their fences.
 Speaker Stanley McCutcnecn nov ed that the House send letter to the Board recommending Palmer as the building site. He said the Board was certain to pick Juneau unless persuaded otherwise.
 The debate waged long and mer- rily. The House had time hanging on it's hands while waiting for the general appropriations bill to come from the Senate in engrossed form, and the Third Division group, aided by Mrs. Essie Dale of Fairbanks made use of it fully.
 Juneau. was criticized and ma ligned for it's location and for its winter flying weather.
 The vote was 12-12, which meant defeat for the letter proposal.
 But after a trief recess, McCutch- con came back with another angle of attack to lure the Second and Fourth Division votes. He proposed that letter should be sept to the Board recommending a building site north of the Cuff That picked up most of the votes from outside the First Division and carried by a 15-9 vote.
 Two of the best sallies of the night were by members of the Fair banks delegation.
 When McCutcheon moved to re- commend the site north of the

Engineers Accused
OF Disloyalty TO
President

Cong. Hugh Mitchell has accused
the Army Engineers of continuing
thinly yelled attacks" on President
Truman's Columbia Valley Admins
tration legislation.
The eattle-Bremerton Democrat
Scored in particular, Col. Theron D.
Weaver, division engineer, for speak
ing in public against his commander
in-chief's policy.
In a letter to President Truman,
Mitchell pointed out that Col. Weaver
had declared at a meeting in Poca-
tello, Idaho, that northwest develop
ment can be accomplished through
existing agencies" and had told the
Idaho Reclamation Association and
the inter-agency committee members
that "the people interested in the
development of the area must get be-
hind this (the Engineers 1909 plan. :"
at appears to me-" Mitchell wrote
the President, "that the Corps of
Engineers is stepping outside the
bounds of propriety and jurisdiction
in permitting policy declarations
which are antagonistic to the eva
program you have announced"
The Army Engineers have long
been opposed to the establishment of
a eva. Apparently it intends to
continue its opposition despite the
Presidents announcement that eva
is administration policy.
