WASHINGTON. = The Bureau
of Internal Revenue has ordered its
first major breakdown on the big
racketeers since this column star
ted publishing the income tax re-
turns of, mcbsters who have been
cheating on their taxes.
AS result, T-men are now in
specting the books of Chicago's
policy racket, or numbers game,
for income tax violations. Their in
vestigation has already led to the
tax returns of Tony Accardo and
Jack Guzik, Chicago's underworld
bosses. The T-men have also un-
covered evidence that a Chicago
Congressman controls the patron
age for 1000 jobs in connection
with the policy racket.
Betting on the numbers in Chi

which feeds upon the nickels and

SENATE VOTES
FOR TWO BILLS
TO AID J0BLE55

Two bills to increase unemploy-
ment compensation benefits won
approval in the Alaska Senate yes
terday after hearings that lasted
all afternoon.
The Senate first approved increas-
ed dependency allowances, l5-l'
then voted by surprisingly one
sided 1873 to raise the weekly COM
pensation to unemployed from $25
a week to $50, ~
Both measures had passed the
House previously. Both were intro
duced by Rep. Wendell Kay Cd
Anchorage. They now go to Gov
ernor Gruening as the first major
controversial pieces of legislation TO
reach his desk in this session.
Under the newly approved un-
employment compensation bills. a
worker with three dependents re-
siding in Alaska could draw SAB
week for Is weeks for a total OF
$1,000 compared with the present
maximum of 1925.
Sen. w. L. DAM Lnamon, Fair
banks Republican, cast the only
vote against the dependents in
crease bill. There was little crit
iicism of it because dependents must
reside In Alaska to benefit.
The bill raising the basic work.
ers' benefit to $50, however, drew
fire because Of testimony of Of
ficials who said about As per cent
of the total payments go to workers
who are in the states for the winter.
Many of them are construction
workers.
Votes against the increase were
cast by Sens. John Butrovich, A. F.
(Joe) Coble, and Lhamon, all Fair
banks Republicans.
A Senate majority approved the
bill after Unemployment Compen-
sation officials testified all indi-
cations are the fund will increase
during the year, due to increased
Alaska activity, even if individual
and family payments are higher.
John Mclaughlin and George
Crisman of the employment secur-
ity division testified and were cross
examined at length on the two bills.
AL Anderson. executive secretary OF
the Alaska Miners Association, testi-
fled against them labelling the COM
bination of the two bills "a double
barreled blast" He complained that
miners couldn't draw benefits dur
ing the off-season land we object
to having it go south for California
holidays"
Cleta Mae Cammock, executive
secretary of the Territorial FEEDER
alton of Labor, contended the $25
weekly figure was long outdated;
that it was set in 1916 on the basic
theory that it would be roughly
SO per cent of persons earnings

 Now the railroad has placed aluminium sheeting on all the bridges in the danger area so that moose can't step between bridge ties.
 When snow becomes five to six feet deep, as it is now, the prob lem becomes increasingly worse Faster travelling freight and pas senger trains make quick steps less likely
 For years now the Fish and Wldlife Service has worked in conjunction with The Alaska Railroad to curb the slaughter. But good answer is still needed.
 The railroad is spending thou sands of dollars and doing every thing possible to avoid killing moose" according to Holgar Lar sen, FWS enforcement agent.
 Larsen points out that all meat from the kills is being put to good use. The ARR section crew, near est the kill. butchers the animal and sends the meat to the nearest Fish and Wildlife agent.
 Moose meat has been sent % practically every native village and mission," Larsen declares. Absolutely none of it is wasted" |"
 Other charitable groups like the Salvation Army, mission homes, orphanages, and needy groups get their share. It has even been added to the school lunch pro- gram at Anchorage, Wasilla and Palmer.
 Meantime, railroaders are striv- ing desperately to reduce the kills. Fingers are crossed that the 4s degree turnouts will sidetrack

Family Night Enjoyed By Student Farmers

Family night" was enjoyed by more than 35 students and their families Monday night when Eu- gene Kirsh's on-the-farm training class gathered at the school gym to enjoy a get-acquainted pro- gram.
 MT. Don Irwin, director of the Alaska Research Administration, was introduced to the group by MT. Kirsh and spoke on family living and farming problems in Alaska.
 Many farming problems pre- sented by MT. Irwin paralleled present-day problems to be found in Alaska. How the experiment station and laboratory are helping overcome these problems was also explained by Mir. Irwin.
 MT. Kirsh holds regular class instruction meetings each Monday night at the Rec hall for on-the- farm students. A pot-luck lunch was served at the close of the meeting.

Turn-0uts Along Alaska Railroad To Serve as Test of Moose 10.

Whats the 10. of a moose? That's what The Alaska Railroad wants to know.
 Whether the animals are smart enough to take refuge in 45 degree turnouts along the railroad tracks rather than argue with two to three thousand tons of train should soon be determined.
 Plagued by the worst problem in recent years, the railroad is now in the throes of hacking out angular turnouts in snowbanks bordering the mainline. It might work. At least railroaders are hoping it will shorten the moose fatality list.
 "A similar system proved fruit less in previous experiments north of Anchorage. But rail roaders reckoned that the path ways to safety were usually made perpendicular to the roadway. As a result, MT. Moose, who prefers the snow-free tracks to bucking deep drifts, scooted past the sane auaries.
 With the turnoutS at an angle, the entrance will be more obvious and Alaska Railroad men think that maybe the moose can be Switched" off the mainline.
 A bull dozer is working north and south of Montana, Mile 209.3, blading out the experimental turnouts. Section crews in the critical area, generally defined ass being between Houston, Mile 174.9, and Curry, Mile 248.5, are also scooping free parking lots" out of the snowbanks.
 In an effort to explore. every angle, railroad snow fleet spread ing machines are pushing back banks sufficiently to allow moose spacious sidewalks between snow embankments and passing trains.
 But how to educate moose? That's The Alaska Railroads big problem. Oscillating lights, pierc- ing whistles, fusees, steam and even snowballs have failed to! budge the road blocks.
 If he feels like it, MT. Moose will lope along ahead of a train for a dozen miles or more. When he gets tired, he may just sit down. Or should it be Monday-i and perchance he doesn't like Mondays-he is apt to take al crack at the locomotive - head first!.
 As a result a good many moose are expressed" to the happy hunting grounds. And an equal number of trains arrive hours late at the next station.
 In bygone days bridges were al sizeable problem. Moose tried toI span the streams and rivers via the structures. This meant certain disaster-a broken leg, a moose to be killed and a train delay And wrestling half ton of moose
