HOUSE RECEIVES THREE BILLS ON
 DEADLINE DATE

Three bills were introduced in the House this morning. This is the final day of the session for intro- duction of bills.
 The House Labor Committee pro- posed changing the Unemployment Compensation Boards name to En- ployment Security Commission and increasing the number of members from three to five. Two would rep resent management, two labor and one the public. No more than three could be of the came political party.
 Rep. Alfred Owen, Jr., Anchorage Democrat, introduced new bill to tighten what he described as loop aole in the lobbyist registration act.
 Reps. Doris Barnes and James Nolan of Wrangell introduced bill today seeking waiver on $11,OO0 of Wrangell school tonds held by the territory. The Wrangell legislators said the bonds were issued in 1881 for financing a school building, and that the interest paid to the terri tory over the many years, until l945, had amounted to more than the s1l,OOO of remaining unpaid bonds. Mrs. Barnes said Wrangell residents feel they are entitled to relief in view of the territorial policy of fi- nancing schools in other towns while Wrangell has carried the load by itself.

Bill, inc Bounty Man,
 Would Make Gals Pay

d
 A $50 head tax on single females in Alaska?
 Lock out, girls! It's suggested but possibly not too seriously--in a bill introduced in the House by Rep. William Egan of Valdez, whose other speciality is introducing bills for bounty on eagles.
 Under the title of purpose and intent" the bill says:
 Whereas literally nurces of un- married female persons reside in the territory; whereas they should be charged for the privilege of re- naining single; and whereas matri- mcny is a grand institution, it is the intent of this act to further the institution of matrimony, re- .ieve the housing shortage and levy a tax on special privilege"
 Author Egan kept straight face as the bill was referred to the Ways and Means Committee. It was labeled as introduced "by re- quest" Egan would not say by whose request.
 P. S.--You're wrong girls Egan IS married.

CAIN SEEKS DREW PEARSON TN CASE
 AGAINST WAIlGREN'
To Be Questioned Regard ing $50, 900 Dice Game
 Long Talk Started :.

WASHINGTON, March 9.--fR-~ Senator Cain (R-Wash) demanded today that Columnist Drew Pearson be questioned under oath as to what he had said about a $50,000 dice game and Mon c. Wallgren.
 Cain wrote the Senate Armed Services Committse saying Pearson had told him Wallgren won that much money in a crap game with Johnny Meyer, publicity man for Howard Hughes, West Coast aircraft and movie figure.
 Cain told that story on the Sem ate floor yesterday in a long speech opposing Senate approval of Wall gren to te chairman of the National Security Resources Board.
 Afterwards, CD Wallgren sa Id there was nothing to the story, and t2D Pearson said the Senator had not quoted him correctly and was critical of Cain for what he called repeating the report without check ing it.'
 Gains letter to the Senate Com mittee said: T believe it only fair and imperatively important that the committee determine whether or not Pearson can with impunity accuse 3 United States Senator of telling a falsehood"
 Cain has declared he will make more and longer Senate attacks on Wallgren's fitness to head the Re- sources Board.
 One big phase of Gains attack on the appointment of the former Washington State governor to the defense post required six hours and 45 minutes yesterday and last night.
 It was the longest speech yet for the 81st Congress WI ich stayed in session from noon until 9:04 pm. Cain took the floor at 2:15 and didn't sit down until g pm. Even So, he was far short of the l6-hour goal he had set.

CALIFORNIA IS HIT BY
 EARTHQUAKE

SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.JR An earthquake shook the San Francisco Bay area early today, causing no serious damage.
 But scores of burglar alarms went off, electrical fixtures swayed and rocks rolled off Telegraph Hill, and with considerable concern some San Franciscans recalled the great quake of 1906.
 There were two shocks felt be- tween 4:29 and 4:30 a. m, from the Santa Clara Valley, 60 miles south of San Francisco, to Sacramento, 90 miles northeast.
 One house in the San Francisco Mission district, reported a water pipe broken as the house wall sway ed.
 Light fixtures at the telephone building in the center of town swayed back and forth six inches.
 Mrs. Abundia Herrera, AS, of Holster, died of a heart attack which her physician said possibly was brought on by the quake.
 Among the Chaideans, to cut the price of wine was punishable by a ducking.

tby The ASSOclateQ FreSS)
 Flood waters left hundreds home less in four states today.
 A new flood threat developed in Montana and rising waters plagued many areas of Nebraska, still reel ing after winter-long bout with weather's elements.
 Surging waters from swollen streams spilled over thousands of acres of land in Nebraska, Iowa Aontana and Louisiana. But cold CT weather in many parts of the midwest checked some of the ovcr- flow.
 The Missouri River was generally below flood stage over it's course through eight states from north ern Montana to southern Illinois. But many Of the big rivers tribu- taries were on mild rampage.
 Minor floods were caused north of Sidney, Mont. after ice 30 to 40 inches deep blocked the Yellow stone River and sent water over its banks.
 Many Nebraska communities bat tied the rising waters. At Beatrice, nearly 100 families were evacuated as the big Blue River overflowed. Four of the eight schools in the city of 1l,00O closed.
 Other families fled their homes n Seward and the flood waters reached within two blocks of the business district of Crete, a college town of 5000.

GREATER DEFENSE
 PLANNED
Declares NorthIand Is Most Vital of All Strategic
 Spots in Nation
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, March 9.-1R- Rep. Fisher (D-Tex) planned today to urge the House to approve an ample radar screen for Alaska, which he calls the most vital of all our strategic spots"
 He said he would speak on the bill to provide radar screen for the nation He made his prepared speech public, though uncertain just when he would talk.
 He said in it that Alaska needs more troops for defense against any sort of attack, and needs hous- ing not only for the military but also for it's civilian population.
 There is no question today but that Alaska is woefully under defended" Fisher said.
 There is no secret about that fact"
 Is Open To Enemy
 "The Alaskan Command has pub licly stated that the Territory is presently vulnerable to enemy thrust and that defenses are pres- ently inadequate to repel possi- ble attack"
 Fisher, who visited Alaska last summer and now is member of the House Armed Services Commit tee, said that from operating bases at Fairbanks an enemy could bomb most of the industrial heart of America"
 Alaska, he noted, is only 56 miles across the Boring Strait from the Soviet Union.
 Russians sAnOw All
 He said the Russians "are thorougly familiar with most all of the airfields and installations in the Alaska area, because more than 1000 lend-lease planes were deliver ed to Russian fliers at Fairbanks during the war;
 No one in the United States, he continued, knows just what the Russians are building across the Boring Straits, "but we do have reason to believe there is much ac- tivity in that area"
 Russia's Eulen Field, he said, is only 200 miles from Nome, and the Soviet base of Anadyr. on the Si- berian Coast, is in the same vicin- ity.
 No American plane has been per- mitted to fly over that territory since 1944, he added.
 Wants Warning System
 He said Alaska needs compre- hensive system for warning against the approach of enemy planes.
 But, he added, it would be mis- take to depend too greatly on radar alone, and that troops must be there to operate the screen and defenses effectively.
 We can no longer think of AL aska as a sort of sentry base" !" Fisher said. Alaska is likely to be a major base in any future war. There is every reason to believe that such war would see planes and missiles sent back and forth across the North Pole.
 Let us not be lulled into false security by legislation such as the radar bill, nor by reports of techni- cal progress in planes, guided mis- siles or other weapons which may be used in the future battles over the top of the world
 These things by themselves do not win wars.
 They must be operated, and de- tended, by men on the ground, who must have adequate quarters for life in the Arctic Regions.
