Lifting The Lid At Juneau

 By Jim Hitcheson .
 JUNEAU, .(P)-A general ap- propriations bill $5,o00,000 higher than the money bill considered by the l949 legislature reached the Alaska House of Representatives yesterday from it's ways and means committee.
 The bill, covering costs of ter ritorial offices, departments and institutions, totals $l8,319,558.
 The same omnibus bill in 1949 totaled $13,041,6 ,656, but Rep. Glen Franklin O-Boundary), chairman of the ways and means committee, said the total appropriations that year for the biennium reached $18,60O,000, some of which was later frozen.
 Additional appropriations ap- pear likely this time, too. For 'in- stance, nothing was included in the omnibus bill for civilian de- fense and defense directors have requested $1,10O,000. -.. ....
 Nor do the appropriations bills represent full expenditures of tax monies by territorial agencies be- cause such large funds as motor fuel tax go to the highway engin- ger, and tobacco taxes go to school buildings as earmarked funds without appearing in legis- lative appropriations.
 sl.500.oo0 Increase for Schools
 One of the largest omnibus bill increases appears to be for the support of schools. It includes a boost of S1,5OO,OO over the appro- priation for the present biennium for the support of schools within incorporated towns and school districts. The bill also contains a $520,6O0 item for teachers salary increases previously voted by the House.
 Arrival of the omnibus bill shared the spotlight with high balling of bills by both Houses.
 The House passed eight bills, the Senate, four, yesterday after noon.
 Local Option Liquor Defeated
 The Senate defeated 11-5 pro- posal by Sen. Percy Ipalook R- Wales) to permit local option cleo tions in unincorporated areas. If liquor was banned by a local vote, the bill would have made it illes gal for anyone to ship or carry liquor into the precinct.
 Ipalook argued the law was needed in such Eskimo localities as his home town of Kotzebue.
 The House passed bill to de fine contributions" to the unem- ployment compensation fund as an employers payments plus his experience rating credits which actually reduce his payments. It is the issue at stake in a court case involving about $s00,000 credits for last year which is on appeal

A US. Second division patrol first entered the town Monday night but withdrew after a brief fire fight.
 Elsewhere along the 70 mile front United Nations forces were chasing strangely elusive Chinese and North Korean soldiers back toward the 38th Parallel.
 Probing spearheads of the three Allied columns closing in on Hongchon were within 25 miles of the old boundary between North and South Korea.
 There was no ready explanation of the Red withdrawal from the mountain redoubts where they previously fought bitterly for ev- cry yard. Some front line officers said the Reds were possibly pull ing back for stand at prepared defense positions on ridges north of Hongchon..
 More than T,500 trucks were re- ported moving up toward the Red front in this sector Monday night the largest number seen in two and one-half months. '''':
 Allied air observers also repor- ted heavy vehicular traffic nov ing north from Seoul. Some sour ces said this indicated the Reds might be pulling out of the rubble- strewn South Korean capital.
 In the drive on Hongchon, Brit ish and Canadian troops spearing the center were but four miles from the road hub.
 Also along the 7O-mile front from west to east:
 Fifteen miles east of Seoul, the US. 25th division consolidated it's bridgehead across the Han river. The bridgehead is almost II miles deep.
 On the east front, the junction town of Changpyong fell to the U. $. Seventh Division without a fight. Also on the extreme east ernfront, Republic of Korea troops occupied Soksa, some g miles from the 38th Parallel. .-'~!S>''
 The Eighth Army estimated that the six day drive that started when the Han was crossed has cost the enemy more than 335, 900 in killed or wounded. .F..'->
 In the air, the US. Fifth Air Force racked up it's heaviest day on Monday-774 sorties (single flights).

out.
Many small retailers. and espe
cially hardware dealers. have COM
planned that the chart-keepins

they did not have the stats to

In pricing their numerous articles
OPS officials indicated a new
order tailored for small retailers
would be issued well before the
retailers regulation goes into ef-
feet May 80. The retailers order
listed many items of consumer
durable goods which are sold in
large and small stores and in
certain departments of hardware
stores.
These include housewares. floor
coverings, lawn furniture. sporting
goods. galvanized ware and cook
ing utensils. Other articles include
wearing apparel, clothing. musi-
cal instruments and television and
radio sets.
Under the expected new regu-
lation. an official said, small re-
tailers whose gross business does
not exceed 100000 a year prob
ably will be exempted. They also
would be exempt if the business
they do in the items named in
the retail regulation does not ex-
ceed 100000 a year.
Such an order would not free
small retailers from price control.
They would use prices on the
general freeze base period-last
December 19-January 25. The up
coming order is also understood
to contain alternative pricing
methods of simple types.

It assures a good supply locally

strong indication that producers

vent a serious meat shortage, Mr.
