 He said this was a much greater sum than is spent per adult per son in the United States
 Seattle and Portland staged verbal battle before the board over which should be the terminal for the Alaska air service.
 Tom Alderson, represent n g Seattle, told the board Seattle al ways has been the terminal for service to Alaska from the United States and with its news airport could furnish better service with a shorter distance to the Trritory than Portland, Great Falls, Mont, MinneapoliS-St. Paul or Chicago. He said no time was lost in ship ping through Seattle.
 Virgil H. Langtry, representing Portland. Ore, urged the board to make that city a terminal for the Alaska service. He said commerce from the Portland area would ann ply justify the board making that decision.
 The Seattle monopoly on transportation to Alaska should be ended, he said. This, he added, would benefit Alaskan economy.
 He contended it is economically wrong to cOnfine Alaska to one i Pacific Northwest gateway and ] that direct service. from Portland would be in the public interest.
 J. R. Turney, representing Chi cago, urged the board to authorize a direct airline from Alaska to 1 Chicago. He said he believed this would aid in the development of Alaska.
 Gerald P. O'Grady, counsel for Pacific Northern Airlines, who was criticized by Greuning for saying yesterday that his company was "only incidentally" interested in serving Juneau, disclaimed to- day any intention of dropping the Territorial capital from the lines scheduled stops.
 O'Grady said he was referring only to income derived by his line from the city His line wants to extend its route to Seattle. The Board took the case under advisement with no indication when it may rule.
 In his arguments for the non Skeds, Governor Gruening declar- ed: 'I happen to believe in the so- called American system of free ! enterprise. It is under this sys- tenn that aviation largely devel- oped in Alaska. Our bush pilots are the finest example of pioneer ing and their bush flying, which has matured and developed into the more important intra-Alaska carriers, is the fruit of individual initiative and free American en- terprise and that is likewise pre- eminently true of the non-skeds.
 "If I were making policy for this board I would let the laws of competition operate. 1 would let those who are unable to make the grade eliminate themselves. It somehow runs contrary to the conception of free enterprise, which we are at this moment up

John w. Pratt, 40, of 115 Shan
non street., will be more careful
in the future, where he goes look
ing for some one at 4 o'clock in
the morning.
According to Mrs. Jimmie Lou
Miller, SO, of 213 Saratoga Lane,
she heard someone outside her
bed rom window at A o'clock
Wednesday morning. Asking who
was there, she received no answer.
Mrs. Miller got up and secured
her 38 caliber revolver, went to
the window and again she asked
who it was. Receiving no reply
to her second demand, she fired
two shots at the man standing at
the corner of her house . . hitting
him in the legs He was taken
to the st. Elirazeth hospital and
treated for the wounds and pro-
nounced in fair condition. Pratt
told the officers he was seeking
a friend" he thought was in the
neighborhood.
A fast shuttle of one and five
dollar bills between a customer"
and a grocery clerk, resulted in
the clerk coming out on the short
end of the shuttle at the cost of
a "Ten Spot" which went to the
"Shuffler".
According to the report of Pearl
Andriasik, Clerk in the Andriasik
Market 721 Clifton Drive, who
told the police the suspect came
into the store Tuesday afternoon
and asked for a package of CT
garets and she described how the
quick shuttle came off in the fol-
lowing manner: First he gave her
a SIS bill and she gave him change
for it. He then came out with 81
bill, saying he didn't realize he had
it and told her to give him
back the "five SPOT. Not remem-
bering she had already given him
change for the five dollars, she
gave him the $500. He was five
dollars to he good on the first
shuttle. He then pulled out the
same five spot along with five
ones and asked her to give him
a ten dollar bill for the change.
This she did also, to which he
told her, "Thanks Sister, that
makes US square and went out
the door leaving her wondering
about the SHUTTLE to which she
realized she had been shuffled out
of SO in one of the fastest

the shrimp are taken so far off

the A. and B. fish docks and will
begin shipping shrimp tomorrow
The first of his boats Shave been
out on the new shrimp areas
since Saturday, and several of
them are scheduled to return
with the holds filled with shrimp
by tomorrow.
He has leased the dockage
space from the A & B Fish Com
pany, and has erected hoist to
handle the icing of the boats, and
has built 5000 boxes in which the
shrimp are shipped, 100 pounds
TO a box, to the markets.
He is hauling his ice frores tR1e
Florida mainland. for the only ice
manufacturing plant here oper-
ated by Thompson Enterprises.
Inc, has not sufficient capacity
to handle all of TONERS bust
ness.
When the full 200 boats of the
shrimp fleet, many of them en-
route to Key West get into OPP
Grafton they will demand about
800 tons of ice each day.
Toomer has arranged for fleet
of trucks operated by Lanasa &
Wexler of St. Augustine to oper-
ate between Key West and New
York City to handle the shrimp.
Chica Vigna is the local represen-
tative of Lanasa & Wexler.
Within half an hour after the
shrimp reaches the A g. B. Fish
docks, the first truck will be
headed for New York, Toomer
said today.
The l00-pound boxes of shrimp
are packed in ice. About 1870 to
100 boxes at a time are shipped
| in each truck. The trucks stop
at Miami, in Georgia, South Car
DINA, North Carolina, and at Sc
veral other points enroute to
New York to be reiced.
| Ice IS blown over the top lay
er of boxes piled in he trucks,
The bottom lays of boxes are not
affected, for only the top layer
needs any ice enrouie.
For the present, TONERS fleet
of boats is using the docks of
the Gulf Oil Corporation at the
foot of Duval street. There they
buy gasoline and oil. The boats
use comfortable fuel, and that is
going to be big item in the
operating expenses of the boats.
The average boat unloaded at
Thompson Enterprises carries
about 1000 pounds of shrimp
They are all big ones, and make
about Is to II to a pound.
Toomer says it only takes
about hree hours to reach the
shrimp areas CIT Key West Then
the ships start dragging the bot
tom for the shrimp. They bring
in about 1000 pounds or shrimp
in two to four days.

Supreme Court Has
Not Yet Ruled On
State Sales Tax

TALLAHASSEE, Feb. 7.-(P).
The State Supreme Court has
made no immediate ruling on 4
case attacking the new Sales tax.
The court yesterday heard ar
guments in a suit brought by L,
S. Gaulden, West Palm Beach
apartment owner,
His attorneys attacked the levy
on rentals as unreasonable and
claimed it was in reality an ad
valorem tax such as the Florida
constitution forbids.
Attorneys for the State de-
Tended it as a valid excise tax.
Gaulden's attorneys claimed that
the sales tax law was defective
because its title failed to serve
notice that the body of the act
contained a provision that it
would become effective only on
passage of companion acts.
These acts donate state cigaret
te taxes to cities and turn the 7th
cent of the gasoline tax over to
the counties for road building,
