AoAoCAOAA OAlo iCV Vic 1uii SOtlli1llt-
tee decide what to do about it..
The subcommittee said that, be-
cause of the considerable expen-
ditures involved in such bill, the
full committee should have the
final say on what is to be done
regarding pay-raise legislation.
1t was decided to present the
matter at the full committees
next meeting, the date of which
has not been set.
The indefinite postponement"
of the other bills practically kills
their chance of enactment this
year. The subcommittee decided
that non-defense expenditures
should be held down as much as
possible, in view of the national
emergency program, and voted to
shelve the bills.
The measure relating to appeals
rights for non-veteran workers on
dismissals, demotions and other
personnel grievances. wouldn't
have cost any money, but the
subcommittee felt it wouldn't be
feasible to enact such a measure
during the Governments emer-
gency program.
NVESTIGATION-The House
Civil Service Committee will fol-
low the lead of the Senate Civil
Service Committee and also con-
duct an investigation into the
Governments personnel opera
tons in connection with the ma
tional emergency program. Rep
resentative Davis. Democrat, of
Georgia will head the House sub
committee making the study.
Chairman Murray of the full
committee said the investigation
will determine whether over
stating is taking place. whether
the defense agencies are getting
all the employees they need from
non-defense bureaus and whether
personnel abuses that occurred
during the last war are taking
place again.
Mr.. Murray said his group
wanted to see if there were excess
sive numbers of unwarranted pro-
motions, pirating of employees
between agencies, pyramiding of
positions in the higher grades,
disproportionate ratios between
civilian and military personnel in
the defense agencies and wide
spread laxity in observing efficient
and sound personnel policies"
COAST AND GEODETIC-The
Civil Service Commission has re-
stored to the Coast and Geodetic
Survey Agency the hiring and
classification powers of which it
was stripped last June for viola
tions of civil service regulations.
The commissioner restore
these powers after the agency ap-
pointed new personnel director,
Joseph M. Hart, and new classi-
fication chief, Robert M. Finnegan.
ESA-Charles ]. Rieger, en-
ploye relations chief of the Air

Kay Disputes Chambers Letter

Wendell P. Kay, Demo- cratic territorial representa- tive, has written the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce re- garding a letter sent protest ing an anti discrimination bill introduced into the legis- lature.
 The c of c wrote a letter, on hearing of the proposed bill, protesting it's passage and pointing out that the bill would quickly be seized by Southern dixiecrats as another reason for not granting A. laska statehood.
 The letter further pointed out that the Kodiak c of c felt that discrimination did not exist in Alaska and that the bill would serve no use- full purpose.
 Kay politely thanked the q of c for it's interest and letter but strongly pointed ont that discrimination did exist and that he had data proving that 30 or more instances had come to his attention.
 He admitted that the dixie crats might take advantage of the opportunity to cry and protest equal rights for every one but he felt tn t the benz fits derived in the territory from the bill passage and en- forcement would justify it's enactment.
 . Senator Lyng introduced the bill, number 23, into the Territorial Senate.

The Civilian Taxpayers League of Kodiak Naval Sta tion was formed this week for the purpose of giving civilian workers exact and correct ln- formation regarding territorial and federal taxes, Jules ka- dinsky, manager of the Civil Service Club, told the Cham per of Commerce Thursday.
 Lots of workers do not understand why or how much territorial tax to pay. The league will protect the in- dividuaI and assist the de- partment of taxation" Ra- dinsky said.
 Radinsky told the Chamber that the reason he wanted to acquaint the group with the league was to avoid any mis- understanding with the work CTS at the base and town resi- dents over the paying of taxes.

A 50% increase in the can- ned salmon tax was approved by the Territorial Senate Thursday. It is estimated the increase will produce an addi- tional $700, ,O00 or more yearly. The vote was 10 for the measure and six against.
 The present tax is four per- cent of 50% of the wholesale price. The new bill would , boost the tax to Six percent. All Third Division senators favored the six percent tax on ,, the final voting on the bill.
 Opponents to the increase argued that the Alaska Sal mon Industry shouldn't be singled out for the additional
 sharp" ' tax boost. Propop ent contended the ASH could afford to pay.
 Pete Gilmore, ASI repre- sentative, cited pack and fish trap taxes that totaled over four million dollars for the present biennium. He also pointed to other territorial and local taxes paid by the ASI.
 The bill is the second tax boosting measure to pass the senate. The other was the cigarette tax increase. The house hasn't acted on either bill.
 The house passed a bill for licenses for sport fishermen, a dollar a year for Alaskans, three for non-residents, and

51 Fishing Season Set

Washington (P)- For the first time in history, Alaska will have restrictions on non- commercial fishing next sum- naer.
 Secretary of the Interior Oscar Chapman announced to- day the 1851 regulations for protection of Alaska's con- mercial fisheries. They in- elude the closing of specified streams in the Cook Inlet area, near Anchorage, and in the upper Copper river, to sal mon fishing-''i including that for local use."
 ''Only four out of the hun dreds of streams have been closed, " Chapman said. ~Without such protection, the salmon runs in these streams would be completey de- stroyed."
 Chapman said the new regu- lations contain more changes than usual, because of chang ing conditions in the fisheries,
 On Kodiak Island the mid season closure from July 15 to Aug. 1 will be effective this year in the Red River Dis trict as we'll as in the other districts of the area.
 The fishing season in the Karluk District will close July 15 for the remainder of the year.
 The commercial quota for herring for 1851 was reduced t. 100, 900 barrels, from 15O,- eco for 1850.
 1851 regulations also decree a new method of rendering traps imperative during seasonal and weekly closed periods. A section of the pot wall of each trap must be opened and sealed in place during such closed periods.
 The Alaska regulations are made and enforced by the Fish and Wildlife Service, Chapman said.
