the whole matter could be aired before the public.
 "Just what is the responsibility of the members regarding matters disclosed in secret session." Rep Miscovich asked. Tt seems to me that McCutcheon has busted this whole thing wide open and that we are now free to say anything we want to about it. Since the secrecy has already been broken, I am pre- pairing a statement for release, ' Miscovich added.
 Comments Only
 Rep. Kay said the Times story contained only McCutcheon's con- ments on the hearing and did not reveal any of the testimony pre- sented. He read a letter addressed to the same paper by Rep. Franklin on the subject of the executive ses- sion.
 Both sides have now been heard and I think the matter should be dropped" Kay said.
 Rep. Hendrickson said he believes McCutcheon was wrong in making any statements to a newspaper since all members had been caution- ed not to talk about what went or in the executive session.
 If I have violated the secrecy of the executive session, apologize for it." McCutcheon said. T want to make it clear, however, that ] am perfectly willing to have another

Senate W ere mainly exemptions from the provision of the bill.
 Rep. Kay moved to concur and argued against the motion. This bill means nothing ncw," he said. "The Senate got to running down. hill on amendments and couldn t stop. I still think we can make a good bill of it by taking it into a conference committee"
 Rep MacKinnon then moved to lay on the table the motion to con- cur and Speaker Egan referred the question to the Rules Committee.
 The Rules Committee, by 4-3 vote, decided the motion was out of order because the Joint Rules provide that the body must concur or not concur and that other ac- ton was not possible without sus- pension of the Joint Rules. Sus- pension of Joint Rules, the com mittee reported, was impossible ex- cept in joint session.
 Minority Report
 Offering a minority report, Rep Franklin contended that Roberts Rules of Order should govern the action, and that the motion to con cur could be tabled.
 The ruling of the Rules Com mittee and in turn of the Speaker was sustained, however, by 1911 vote.
 Arguing against accepting the Senate's amendments, Rep. Carlson said, We can hardly recognize this bill as it came back from the Sen ate. It was limping a little when it left here, but it was in pretty fair shape Now it's been stripped of it's flesh and clothing. There's

 Rep. Pollard moved to file the Jensen letter and drop the whole matter. Rep. Barnes warned that the session is growing short and there are many more important matters motion carried unanimously.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
Nonresident Tax Out
:..:..:......-....:;.;-..;.......':....:......

In a decision which may have a far-reaching impact on the Terri torial Treasury the Circuit Court of Appeals in san Francisco this week held unconstitutional the law passed by the 1949 Legislature i'm posing a $50 license fee on non resident fishermen. The court in a two-to-one ruling said that the $50 tax on non-residents as against S5 for resident fishermen was dis criminatory and discouraged, hau- pered and burdened interstate com merce."
 The decision reversed District Judge George ". Folta, who had upheld the act on grounds tbat nonresident fishermen were bene- fitting from Alaska laws without paying their fair share of taxes.
 Income from fishermen's license fees for I949 and 1850 amounted to approximately S5O0,O00 and a major pirtion of the fees for this year has been collected under the act. If the Territory had to refund as a result of the decision, 1t could cost the Territorial Treasury. up- wards of three quarters of a million dollars.
 Question also arose as to what about the old law? It levied S1 for resident fishermen's license and S25 for nonresident. If. under the present decision, $50 as against S5. or ten to one, is discriminatory, what about 25 to one. as under the old law?
 The Circuit Court also reversed Judge Folta in the Pacific American Fisheries case of 1919. PAF ad sought an injuction to restrain the Tax Collector from collecting the fishermen's licenses because buyers of fish are held equally liable un- der the act Folta denied the injuc- tion but the Circuit Court unani- mously reversed the decision.
 Action against the $50 tax was brought by the Alaska Fishermen's Union, representing some 32,000 members in Washington, Oregon and California Territorial legal lights were withholding comment on the next move, if any, until copy of the full decision was received.

Wrang-Junite Picnic Aug. 5

The salmon derby, Shrine picnic, Elks picnic, Legion picnic and others are stellar events up around Juneau way. But this week in tie Capital City plans got under way for a PICNIC. A PICNIC with cap ital letters, no less. \ picnic to sur pass all picnics. An event, no doubt, historians will compare with the discovery of gold in the Gastin- eau Channel area by Joe Juneau and Dick Harris. The occasion-- the Wrangellites, ex-Wrangellites, or did you just go through on the boat, PICNIC in Juneau, tentative ly set for August ,. After all, the Wrang-Junites don't want to inter fere with the salmon derby July 27, 2S and 29, and, besides, who'd fish in the derby if the ex-Wran- gell herring-chokers weren't on hand to pull up few cod fish and Irish lords?
 To promote and organize this sterling attraction, some 15 Wrang- Junites (more than often attends the Chamber luncheon in Wrangell says ex-Chamber president Howard Baltzo) got together the other ev- ening in the Legion Dugout in Juneau and took that first all-im- portant step-named a committee headed by Fred (OPS) Hanford because he's got a lot of other ex- Wrangellites to do the work and can devote full time to "affaire dc picnic
