ploded in the tests, or to comment

NEW YORK, March 81 -lR--
Frank Costello today sketched for
Senate probers his splotchy career
varying from rum-running to max

what they demanded to know-the

1t. Gen. William Kepner told the
Alaska Legislature yesterday after
noon that a civilian defense system
is vital to the Territory and cities
should seek the aid of the military
"only as a last resort"
He said the Alaska command

ganization to ID minimize the di-

have their hands full against the
enemy and 90 a good civilian de-

be able to lend valuable aid to mill

"a sound civil defense organiza-

Kepner mentioned specifically
among the problems the evacuation

CURRY NOW
GOING OUT
IS REPORT
Legal Contract with Three
Indian Tribes 10 Be Can
leI|ed, Says Myers

PORTLAND, Ore, March 81 LIP
Dillon S. Myer, commissioner OF
Indian Affairs, announces through
the Portland office that he intends
to cancel legal contract between
James E. Curry, Washington, d. c.
attorney, and three Western Indian
tribes.
The contracts are with the Mes
LARGO apache tribe, Mescalero,
N. NJ, the Jicarialla (Apache)
Bulge, N. NJ, and the Klawock Co
operative Association, Klawocls,
Alaska.
The Apache Indians contended
that Curry failed to prosecute
claims" The Klawock Association
said his services were no longer
needed
Col. Morgan Pryse, area director
of the Indian Commission, said that
Myers cancellation of the contract
should not be interpreted as an eff
fort to dictate the Indians selection
of an attorney.
Myer added that the Klawock
group told him its contract with
Curry would impose a heavy fl
nancial burden, and that the legal
services gre no longer needed
Earlier this month Secretary of
the Interior Chapman approved
three other tribal contracts with
Curry, and one contract extension
all of which Myer previously had
declined to approve.
The contracts on which Chapman
overruled Myer included one with
the native village of Unalakleet,
Alaska.
Curry told a reporter the Indian
groups asked for contract cancel
lation because Myer told them to,
not on their own behalf"
He said the Indians have been
under "all kinds of pressure to dis
own me = the Indian Bureau even
flew COON squad from Albu-
querque to Mescalero to get the In
dams to take the action they did"

travelled to Washington - in ja-
Topics and trucks and on foot - TO

An American tank force today
rumbled into the former Chinese
stronghold of Chunchon. 1t met
only flag-waving Korean civilians
The Chinese, who had made the
Central Korean road center their
troop massing point in South Korea.
apparently had withdrawn north of

Chunchon is 8i2 miles south of the
Red Korean border.
1t was from Chunchon that the
Chinese mounted their two massive

Korea.
Bitter Red Resistance
On'the Western front, South Kor-

were so intense that it was impos-

Merry Go Round

WASHINGTON. - Capitol police
were alerted the other day to expect
a mob of imported Communist agi-
tators on Capitol Hill. But the
police weren't the only ones who
prepared for them. The Rev. Fred
erick Brown Harris, Senate chap
lain, also got ready for the Com
munists - by writing a special
prayer for their benefit.
The chaplain was all set to de-
liver the prayer on the Senate
floor. as an answer to the phony
peace petitions that the Commun-
lists intended to circulate. But when
it came time for the invocation,
the Communists still hadn't arrived.
So Reverend Harris tossed aside
his special prayer and delivered an
other invocation.
However, here is the heart OF
the prayer the chaplain wrote but
never delivered: open the eyes OF
the duped who would follow false
leaders who cry peace, peace where
there is no peace; who use the cry

TEA(HERpAY
AMENDMENT
FAIL5,ST 0S

An amendment to boost proposed
teachers salary increases above the
House-approved scale failed in the
Senate at noontime on an 8-8 vote.
The tie vote came after warning
of a looming s5,OOO,0OO budget de-
ficit and a possible new major tax
proposal
Sen. John Butrovich. finance
chairman, cited the $5.G0O,000 hole
in the budget prospect.
Sen. Steve McCutcheon. Anchor
age Democrat, ted his fellow SEN
ators that anyone who votes for
the increases in this amendment 1
have proposed should be bound to
vote for any revenue measure that
is proposed" -
That's exactly the way I FEEL in
terjected Sen. James Nolan, land l
am not going to vote for any new
revenue measure"
McCutcheon estimated the propos-
ed teachers salary boosts the
combination of the House bill and
the amendment proposals would
cost about $l,000,000 for the bien-
mum.
Increases Carried
The House-approved bill did not
come to a final Senate vote before
the noon recess. 1t carries increases
of $500 yearly for the First Division,
$500 for the Third and $500 for the
Second and Fourth. The House bud
get trainers figure those raises will
cost about $4,000 for the two
years. Butrovich said he thought it
would be higher
The rejected Senate amendment
proposed raises of $500 year in
the First Division, $3.50 in the Third
and $500 in the Second and Fourth.
When McCutcheon suggested the
new tax possibility, President Gun
nard Engebreth asked:
Are you speaking of a sales tax?"
mo-" replied McCutcheon. I'm
not speaking of any particular tax"
The rollcall on the $500-$650- $500
increase amendment was:
Yeas - Anderson, Beltz. Garnick,
Huntley, Mackenzie, McCutcheon,
Snider, Engebreth.
Nays - Barr, Butrovich, Coble
Engstrom, Ipalook, Lhamon, Lying,
Nolan.
In quiet morning session, after
the long grind to nearly 2:30 am,
the Senate passed two other meas
ures.
For Uranium Discovery
One, previously passed by the
House. proposes a $4,000 bonus for
discovery and development in the
Territory of uranium ore which is
sufficient to qualify for the Atomic
Energy Commission reward of the
same size.
The other was a Senate bill for

SENATE FOR
OVERRIDING
vEETioEDTRI0
BY JIM HUTCHINSON

A rebellious Senate voted twice
last night to override Governor
Gruening vetoes Of finance bills
1t raised the Senate's overriding
votes to three straight in two days.
In the only one the House acted
on, however, 1t refused to go along
with the Senate. The House voted
9-l3 against overriding the mort
gage bill veto that the Senate voted
to override Monday night.
The Senate voted late yesterday
afternoon to override the veto to
second mortgage bill, then last night
voted by the same LIS count to
override veto of an Alaska Bank
ers' Association bill which would al
low payment of interest in advance
on deals under $500.
Sponsors had explained the bill
was intended for such deals as auto
mobile purchases in which interest
was figured in advance into equal
monthly payments.
Governors Views
In his veto message, the Governor
said the bill would allow raising of
rates on many loans above the pres
ent legal rate.
Gruening called the bill "decep-
tive and IAN apparent per cent
rate that requires closer examina-
ton" He said the bill hits the
small borrower and makes borrow
| ing unduely costly"
The Governor also suggested that
legislators were indulging in too
hasty" action on legislation.
After Sen. Walter Huntley, Third
Division Democrat, arguing in sup
port of the veto, also referred to
the Senate's acting hastily and
then repenting, Sen. Steve Nc

! with a blast.
Hasty Action
ut seems like charges of hasty
action are sort of shotgun &C
ton" McCutcheon said.
He declared there was good au-
thority for the bill which the Sem
ate had passed unanimously.
1.-The Governor apparently has
adopted the idea we are trying to
penalize the underdog just because
we recognize you have to pay an
interest charge when getting a
loan," he said
Sen. w. l.. DAM Lhamon. CR-

that the bill actually would reduce
the interest rate by per cent in
Fairbanks automobile deals.
1t was the third straight time
that McCutcheon. Democratic floor
leader, had made a successful mo-
ton to override veto.
Against overriding were Republic
can Senators Garnick. Ipalook,
Engebreth, and Democrats Huntley
and Mackenzie.
Midnight was the deadline for
either House to consider non-ap-
preparation bills. The Senate con-
tinued until 2:l5 am, however.

Only one of many amendments
offered from the floor was adopted,
The amendment deleted from the
memorial reference to an elective

Opponents of the memorial objected

would probably vote for the me-
