 Deterrent To Statehood

An interesting sidelight on con- troYersial House Bill Al shows up in the report or the Senate commit tee on providing for the admission of Alaska into the Union," recently received. While the majority DOT tion of the repo.t recommends state hood, the minority view has this paragraph, which doubtless refers to H. B. Al:
 At its last session. the Alaska Legislature enacted a new Terri tsrial law which gave the Governor vastly increased powers over the administrative agencies of the pslomoId SRA Iuq eqL ALolIIIeL aE means of increasing the eff sisncy of the Territorial govern msnt. It also eliminates two elec- tive officers, those of treasurer and auditor, and centered a great deal more power in the Governor than he has possessed in the past It was a step backward from the stand point of democratic government" :"
 While the goth Legislature pro- bably did not intend it that way, it begins to apear that H. B. Al. which was inspired by good inten- tions. is turning out to be a deter rent rather than an assist to state hood.

partnership, whereby ABC stock.
holders would share more fully in
the growth of radio and television
through ownership Of greater
amounts of equity securities and
through exercise of more proper
Itionate voting representation
than had been offered by United
Paramount Theaters, Inc.
II am happy that, in subsequent
negotiations, Mr.. Goldenson and
his associates at United Para
mount tTheaters, Inc, were able
to agree to an exchange for ABC
stock, whereby ABC stockholders
receive approximately so per cent
in common stock and approx
mately so per cent in preferred
stock. This offer of common stock
gives the opportunity for ABC
stockholders to share more fully
in the growth Of radio and tele-

Merchants May Get
Price DeadIine STAY

Many Washington merchants
won't have to meet price contro.
record-flling deadline that falls
next Wednesday.
But others will face possible
court action unless they do. Off
cials warned today.
The merchants involved are
those operating under Ceiling
Price Regulation Z, which covers
shoes. clothing, furniture, radios,
TV sets, jewelry. rugs and a num-
Der Of other items.
The ONCE of Price Stabiliza-
tion expects soon to issue a new
order, giving many of the smaller
stores now under this regulation
the option of switching back to
the general price freeze regula-
ton. That means they won't have
to file pricing charts due May 30.
Only about 400 of an estimated
$500 merchants now under CPR
7 have filed the charts here, a
local OPS spokesman said.
Price Director Vincent A.
Holmes warned that all those re-
quired to file who don't do so on
time may face injunctions re-
straining them from doing busi-
ness until they comply.
Under the regulation, no mer-
chant may continue doing busi-
ness after June 80. If he has not
received an official acknowledge
ment from OPS of receipt of his
chart.
Meanwhile, settlement OF the
Districts first court case brought
by OPS apparently was near
today. Spokesman for OPS and
the United States Attorneys Office
said the Joseph P. Gamble whole
sale meat concern, 1866 Fifth
street NE, now is conforming
with record-keeping rules it was
accused of violating. Judge Wal
ter M. Bastian was expected to be
asked to approve a consent decree
in the case today in District Court.

Asks Segregation End

Negro attorneys have asked the

A petition filed yesterday by a
Richmond law firm asks that the

Board be restrained from enforc-
ling a State constitutional provi-
sion which prohibits the non

and Negroes.
The suit attacks the validity of
the law and diSregards the previ-
Gus issue of separate-but-equal
facilities. If the petition Is ap-
proved. it may lead to elimination
of segregation throughout the

Complete daytime and night
time programs in television on 9
scale and of quality not pre-
viously practicable nor attainable

both radio and television. We fee
that radio and television as q
whole, the public as it's customer:
and our stockholders as owners
will gain from this new company
which will compete vigorously fol
public and advertiser approva
and esteem.
"The showmanship and talents
of the management of United

tainment business, when combined
with ABC's excellent station anc
advertiser affiliations and physica
facilities, will insure to the listen
ing and viewing public the finest
radio and television programs
This combination will be beneficial
to both the theaters and the
theaters and the broadcastine
business in developing new talent
and new programming concep-
ltionS."
