Georgia Probes Death
In II After D. {. Man
Gives Up as Slayer

Investigation Of a 29-year-old
violent death continued in Geor-
gia today while police here sought
to untangle conflicting stories of
a Washington painter who gave
himself up as murderer.
The painter. Harris L. Doke, 40,
yesterday told detectives he re-
membered having an argument
In 1921 with Jordon Rowe at
Thomaston. Ga. and that he may
have struck Rowe while they were
fishing in boat on the Flint
River.
When he walked into police
headquarters Sunday and gave
himself UP, Doke said he was sure
he had hit Rowe on the head with
o rock and thrown his body into
the river, police said. Doke said
he had accused Rowe of being
too friendly with his wife while
Doke was in the Navy.
Detective Sergt. William v.
Christian of the fugitive squad,
who interviewed Doke in the psy-
chiatric ward at Gallinger Hospital
yesterday. was told by the man
that only under the influence of
drink does he think he actually
killed Rowe. At other times he
cannot clearly remember details
Of the argument. Doke said.
Georgia authorities know only
that Jordon Rowe's body was
found in the Flint River in 1921.
They think a coroner's jury called
his death accidental drowning but
find no records. nor jurors nor
witnesses to support that.
w. A. Ross Of the Georgia
Bureau Of Identification said he
would go to Columbus, Ga, today
to find a sister and brother of
Rowe. He hoped they could throw
more light on his death. Mr..
Ross also expected to request the
assistance of the FBI.

vI5A5 FOR
ALIENS
SUSPENDED
American Officials All
Over World Given
Instructions

WASHINGTON, Oct. IL - tR =
American officials all over the world
have been ordered to suspend tenn
porarily passport visas issued to
aliens planning to come to the
United States.
Officials said today the State De-
partment telegraphed the orders
yesterday to Embassies and Consuls
to permit a recheck of individual
records because of the tight new in
ternational security law.
The order does not apply to Off
cial representatives of foreign gov
ernments.
Also the order does not affect Ca
nadians coming to this country on
visits since they do not have to
have visas. 1t does apply to Ca
nadians coming as immigrants since
they must have passports and visas.
The State Department said the
suspension order was asked by At
torney General McGrath, the fed
eral governments chief law en-
forcement officer.
The law, enacted over President
Truman's veto, bars the entry OF
aliens who have been at any time
members of the Communist "or
other totalitarian" parties.
It's enforcement has resulted in
the detention of several hundred
aliens who already had been granted
visas-entry permits-when the law
went into effect.
More than 200 were being held
Yesterday at Ellis Island, NY. Ger
many and Italy have protested
against the detention of their ma
tionals.

AMER. LEG.
Demand Made that Tru-
man Reeonstitute Dept.
Stiff Floor Fight

LOS ANGELES, Oct. IL = Up =
After stiff floor fight. the Ameri-
can Legion voted today to demand
that President Truman reconstitute
the State Department.
But it sidestepped naming Secre-
tary of State Dean Acheson. or sug-
costing his custer. The convention
was to end today.
The latter had been urged by the
Legion's retiring executive commit
tee. but was not incorporated in a
report by the foreign affairs COM
mittee which condemned the State
Departments failure to deal
adequately with the grim and
bloody advance of Communism
throughout the world"
It went on: 1--WE submit that this
failure is due fundamentally to a
lack of understanding of Com
munism itself, and to refusal on
the part of Secretaries of State
past and present, to evaluate prop
erly the gravity of the dangers to
America and all free peoples which
Communism presents. -"
Executive committeeman George
Clear asked the convention TO
change the wording to read "Sec-
rotary of State" and eliminate the
phrase past and present"
Former Natio Commander
John Steele said, Lets name
names; let's name Acheson."
National Commander George N
Craig said: IT feel it would be sac
rilege to name the person meant.
II think the original wording OF
the resolution will leave no doubt as
to who is meant"

SEATTLE, Oct. 12-R-The In

attempting to tie up Alaska and

The charge was made by Rep.

Earlier the Alaska Steamship Co.,
announced that las a consequence
of the unions refusal to comply
with Coast Guard screening of

ship Denah and ordered the vessel
decommissioned.
Because of difficulties with the
union, the Denali. formerly a pas
senger vessel, had been redesignated
to. sail as an express cargo ship.
More Trouble
Trouble with another union had
developed earlier. F. A. zeusler,
executive assistant for the COM
pany, said that when the deadline
for crews to sign on the Denali was
reached, the Sailors Union of the
Pacific (AFL) told the company its
members would not sign on less than
a crew for a passenger vessel. AS an
express freighter, the DenaI would
carry 81 fewer crewmen than as a
passenger vessel. The SUP baked
at reduction in the deck department
from Is to IL.
After refusing to do so earlier,
stewards signed on two other Alaska
line freighters, the Sailors Splice
and the Susitna.

SEATTLE, Oct. 12IR-The CLIO
claimed gains today in its campaign
to draw fishing industry workers
away from Harry Bridges longshore
union.
Roy w. Atkinson, regional CLIO
director, said group of workers

He identified the group as Local
6. International Fishermen and
Allied Workers of America, a union
that has been a division of the
ILWU. Both the ILWU and 1FAWA
have been expelled from the ma
tional CLIO.
Atkinson said other groups in
Blaine and LaConner, Wash, are
expected to vote soon to leave the
ILWU and seek CLIO charters.
He said other locals that have LETT
the IFAWU since it was merged
with the ILWU include group OF

ers, 300 Aberdeen workers and the
Alaska Trollers of Juneau, with zoe
members. All these, he said, now
have CLIO charters.

LIVELY DISCUSSION
TAX EXEMPTIONS
FOR new BUSINESS
Juneau Chamber Airs
Views on Proposed Bill
10 Attract Industry

A lively discussion on new pro-
posed tax incentive legislation to
encourage new business development
in Alaska took place at a regular
luncheon meeting of the Juneau
Chamber of Commerce this noon.
This followed a report given by
Joseph Mclean, chairman of the
legislative committee. which en-
dorsed the proposed bill in principle
but recommended Qualification and
changes: Cd What constitutes
new" industry; co what percentage
of the domestic corporation income
must be from the new industry;
go time limit such as Is years
tax exemption be given but not
beyond 1875; ca Qualification re-
garding constitutionality, if and
when statehood is granted; 60 in
clusion of provisions to help re-
habilitate old industries which are
now paying taxes and still have
not prospered.
Broad Program
1t was pointed out that Delegate
E. L. Bartlett would support the
bill if it did not interfere with
statehood for the Territory. Com
mander Ed Chester stated that there
was a broader program under con-
sideration in Congress to aid states
and territories, which in effect
would be a domestic Point Four
program, to encourage industry in
undeveloped areas.
Curtis Shattuck said that he be-
lieved it was as important for such
proposed tax legislation to encour-
age existing industries as it was to
attract new ones. Several others
agreed.
H. L. Faulkner pointed out that
the proposed bill was mainly to en-
courage paper mill capital to invest
in the Territory and that the bill
might be jeopardized if there were
many requests to broaden it too
much
To Discuss Legislation
The legislative committee was di-
rected by President Robert Booch-
ever to meet with a Senate sub
committee due in Juneau next
Thursday. 1t had been decided that
only two projects would be dis
cussed with the committee men,

House of Delegates will leave un-
changed the present total of l23
seats and the distribution among
Baltimore City and % counties.
The proposal concerning ali
mony and support Of children was
advocated because the State Con-
stitution now provides that mo
person shall be imprisoned for
debt Support Of dependent chill
dren has been construed as debt.
State courts have not been in
clined to regard alimony as being
a debt in that sense, but. the prob
lem was believed to require a
clear-cut constitutional statement.
The proposal to allow judges to
rule on the sufflciency of evidence
in criminal trials was advocated
because under Maryland law
iuries are sole judges of both fact
and law. Only one other State
has such an arrangement.
The Maryland Court of Appeals
this year issued new rules whereby
judges could issue advisory opin-
ions as to whether the State pro-
duced enough evidence to justify
a conviction. The amendment ap-
proved by the voters yesterday
would make such instructions
binding.
