Monday Afternoon

During it's afternoon session yes terday the House passed bill moa- flying the requirements for receiV- ing old age assistance beneflts ano a bill increasing the severity ol penalties for violations Of the mar cotic Act.
 The old age assistance bill gen. erated some heated debates on the proposal to eliminate the citizen- ship requirement. and on a pro- posed amendment to increase maxi mum benefits from $80 to $9O.
 Rep. Scavenius, commenting tna' he has little use for people who have lived in the country for many wears without becoming citizens and adding that he himself is natural ized citizen, asserted that there is less and less excuse for the defal- cation because better transporta- tion makes it easier for people tc get to the courts than formerly.
 That is a phony argument, countered Rep. Kay. What tnls boils down to is a question or ooi- lars and cents. We have to support the aliens when they become desti- ute anyway, and we might. as well do it by old age assistance beneiits and get some Federal help
 Rep. Barnes also placed the mat ter on financial rather than a patriotic basis. Relief for aliens now comes entirely from the Terri torial treasury and I think it is our duty to get Federal help when 1t IS available" she said.
 Compromise Reached
 As a compromise between those who wished aliens entirely excluded from assistance benefits and those who would drop the bars, an amendment was adopted to permit

UNIVERSITY
 S.E. BRANCH
 BILL. KILLED
Measure F a Ills One Shor1 on 8-7 Vofe-Defense
 Bill Is in

The bill for creation of a Uni- versity of Alaska southeastern branch died by a hair-line margin in the Senate today.
 It dangled by the thin thread of a single vote absention before it toppled off the budget wagon.
 The vote was 8 to T in favor, after the proposed appropriation had been cut in half to $250,000. but nine votes were needed for pas sage. The bill was introduced by Sen. Anita Garnick (R-JuneaW.
 Sen. Percy Ipalook (R-Kotzebue) caused a mild furore when he an- nounced, on roll call, that he was not voting. When senators pressed for an explanation, he explained that he did not want to vote against it because he thought it was a worthwhile proposal if it could be financed; he didn't vote ives" because T wouldn't feel justi- fled, with the great need my people have for schools, to start another university while failing to provide schools for the children. It would be like building a superstructure with out a foundation"
 He had spoken earlier of tn e Eskimo children who never have had schools and some of whom never have learned even to speak English.
 The debate waxed as warm as any the Senate has seen this ses- sion. Most of the senators got into the argument before it was over. Charges of sectionalism were tossed around the chamber.
 The supporters of the bill argued that the southeast branch was needed as a research center for fisheries and forestry; that the territory loses many of it's most able young people through lack of higher educational facilities; that no expenditure would be required at the start for a site or facilities.
 The opponents contended the bud- get can't be stretched far enuogh to include another university; that the present unsettled conditions make it an undesirable time to try to launch new institution.
 Sen. John Butrovich R-Fair- banks) summed up much of the opposition's standpoint with the declaration:
 "Once the doors are open. we would have two institutions to maintain when we can't support one decently" He reviewed the long fight for funds for the university at Fairbanks and said it never got decent appropriations until l94f.

SALMON TAX WOULD RAISE
 LARGE FUND

The new salmon tax bill, intro duced yesterday by Rep. Andrew Hope, if passed in it's present form would raise upward of two million dollars year for the Territorys general fund, Rep. Hope said today
 He said these calculations were based upon the prevailing prices of salmon for the 1850 season, and upon an average catch.
 The new bill, which would place a tax upon each salmon caught in Alaskan waters, was drafted by Ernest Spink with the assistance oi c. L. Anderson. Director of the Territorial Department of Fisheries Rep. Hope said.
 Hope said that he secured An derson's approval of the measure in it's final form just before he introduced 1t. He said he feels thai is will have the support of ma iority of the fishermen and others connected with the fishing industry and that the revenues from the tax will do much to lift the Terri tory's General Fund out of its pre- sent precarious position.
 The man who drafted the bill is registered in the Auditors office as a lobbyist. The registration gives the following information:
 Name, Ernest Spink. Firm or person represented: Ernest Splnk' Interests: Anything to do with finances. Signed. Ernest Spink.

 Merry Go Round

WASHINGTON. Diplomatic circles are now convinced the long anticipated big four foreign min- isters meeting will not only be held this April but will be held in Wash ington.
 The meeting between Secretary of State Acheson, French Foreign Minister Schuman, British Foreign Minister Bevin and Soviet Foreign Minister Vishinsky is generally looked upon by the diplomatic corps as the worlds last opportunity to reach a peaceful settlement be- tween the East and the West.
 In the delicate touch- and-go at mosphere of high-level diplomacy, Washington analysts have detected what they interpret as secret" signals from Moscow indicating that the Kremlin is willing to talk out. rather than shoot out the diff fereences between Democracy and Communism.
 The most important clues are contained in dispatches to U. S.. papers from Moscow-dispatches

Mac Kinnon, urging Congress ito take prompt action to investigate, and to settle equitably to all parties in interest and to the general welfare Ji the Territory. the question of Indian or aboriginal title to all lands in the Territory of Alaska.

Cost of Operating Motor Cars
Up 6 Per Cent, AAA Reports

The automobile owner who has
watched almost every other price
soar in the last Is months had a
new increase to look at today
a six per cent rise in owning and
operating his car.
The American Automobile AS
sociation, on the basis of figures
compiled by a Chicago cost-ac-
counting firm over the last Is
months. has fixed owning -operat-
ing costs at 1851 a year as of
December. compared to $815 in
July, 1949.
It's report was released as an
aid in establishing allowances for
employe-owned cars and in COM
putting costs of a vacation trip,
the AAA said.
A breakdown of the new ma
tional average cost. applicable to
cars in the low-priced class, shows
that fixed costs of fire and theft
insurance, property damage and
liability insurance. license fees
and depreciation for cars driven
under $4,000 miles now average
$533. In the summer of 1949
the figure was $506.
Costs of gasoline and oil on a
national average. of 10000 miles
driven, were 5000 in 1949. This
is up to 1923 now.
In per-mile averages of variable
costs, the AAA shows a total of
1928 cents for gas and oil, main
tenance and tires in December
of 1850. The figure for July, 1949
was 500.
The association stressed that

 Kings Lake camp was started in 1888 when MT. and Mrs. Clyde King, Sr., gave three acres of their original lakeside homestead for site. The rest of the 16O acre homesite was purchased for the camp in 1946, largely through the generosity of the First National bank and the Bank of Alaska, both of Anchorage. The following year more than 60 acres pur- chased from the Department of the Interior were added to the site.
 In 1850 the camp was used by 590 campers, representing Boy Scouts, five churches, All clubs and Girl Scouts. The modest fees charged put camping experience within the realm of possibility for most youth and adult group members of central Alaska.
