1850 Was Good
Year For Music.
AMP Writer Says
BY ORRIN CLAYTON SUTHERN

BY ORRIN CLAYTON SUTHERN
NEW YORK, Jan. A. AMP
The year, 1850, the halfway mark
of the Goth century, presented a
colorful and varying panorama
in the music world for performer,
teacher, and listener.
Among professional artists Ma
rian Anderson still stands su-
preme. For the first time since
1888 she embarked on a recital
tour in South America. She gave
25 recitals in two months includ-
ing seven in Buenos Aires.
In Musical Americas annual
poll of radio writer's, Miss Ander-
son took second place in the out
standing woman singers section.
Other top artists toured Europe
and the Near East during 1850.
Aubrey Pankey spent much time
in Israel and in South America,
Central America, and New Zea-
land. Soprano Dorothy Maynor
sang in Italy, France, Holland and
Scandinavia.
Roland Hayes is still giving re-
totals which attest to his consum-
mate musicianship and vocal skill.
Carol Brice, no longer a new
conner to the field, enjoyed fine
success.
Newest sensation of the year
was baritone William Warfield.
He earned acclaim in his New
York recital. In Melborne, Aus
tralia, he was just as successful.
His future career under the tute-
lage of Ives Tinayre will be
watched with interest.
Among other appearances of
more than passing interest were
the Town Hall recital of Lois Tow
les, glamorous exponent of the
piano, and Robert McFerrin, bari
tone, who displayed a gifted voice
at Town Hall.

SAILORS union
GETS RLISTERING
BY COURT JUDGE

SEATTLE, Jan. 80 Up With
blistering criticism of union Off
Gals, a superior court judge has
ordered the Sailors Union of the Pa
cific to reinstate 10 seamen expelled
at a trial conducted in their alb
Sence.
Superior Judge Theodore S. Tur-
ner ruled the 10 Seattle men were
expelled from the AFL union Sin
direct violation of the fundamental
constitution of this same union"
The 10 were ousted by the SUP
at a union trial in San Francisco
while they were at sea on the mot
orship Island MaiY
Judge Turner, in a decision hand
ed down late yesterday, held the
seamen were not advised OF the
charges against them, and were
not given written notice of their
trial or hearings.
Judge Turner compared the Sea-
mems custer to Hitler Germany
where they sent carloads of Jews
to Poland in the dead of winter"
Probably Hitler, too, thought this
was necessary for his system to
survive" the Judge added.
The men ordered reinstated were
accused of supporting John A. Ma
honey, a union member expelled by
the SUP's San Francisco head
quarters after questioning the policy
of union officers.

day from a meeting of area di-
rectors in Washington, d. c., where
administrative matters of the Blu
reau of Indian Affairs were dis
cussed for the next fiscal year
No new legislation has been intro
duced in the present session Of Con-
gress that affects the territory in
relation to the ANS. The amount OF
money approved by the Bureau OF
the Budget is about the same as
last year for the ANS with the ex-
ception of construction. The new
monies approved are for the con-
struction of nurses quarters at the
ANS hospital in Anchorage.
Funds for the construction of the
Bethel hospital will be asked for
in a supplemental funds bill 1t is
hoped by Wade that funds can be
made available in the spring so that
construction on the hospital can
start at that time.
There is marked difference in
Washington toward the war situa-
ton" said Wade. when I was
there the first part of December
people were rather pessimistic. Now
there is an air of confidence about
what there is to be done. I saw Don
Foster. area director in the Min
neapolis office. and he sent greet
ings to his friends here"

SENATE MEASURE
WOULD INCREASE
INDECENT RELIEF
fBy Jim HutchesOn)

Three bills and a memorial were
introduced in the territorial Sem
ate's brief morning session today.
Sen. Anita Garnick (R-Juneau)
dropped in bill to increase terri
torial INDECENT relief payments to
$50 month from the existing $50.
She said such payments to persons
who fail to qualify for old age pen
sions or unemployment compensa-
ton formerly got $50, but that they
were cut to $50 under a re-discov-
cred 1929 law.
Sen. Frank Barr D-Fairbanks)
introduced two bills to make chang
es in criminal laws. He has put in
four of the total of six bilE intro
duced in the Senate to date.
One of Bars measures would
tighten up the law on checks writ
ten without funds in the bank to
cover them. If done purposely, or
If funds are not provided within
two days of notice, it would be a
misdemeanor The penalty coulG
be a years Imprisonment, a ST.
900, fine or both. Barr said the
measure was prepared because gov
eminent attorneys say that under
present law a conviction on an
NFS check is almost impossible be-
cause intent to defraud has to be
proved.
Bars other bill proposes modifi-
cation of the penalty aaginst per-
sons under 81 in certain rape cases.
The present law provides life i'm
prisonment of three to 20 years in
certain cases, involving juveniles.
The joint memorial, by Sen. Ed
Anderson D-Nome), asks the mill
tary and federal officials to react
ivate Marks air force base at Nome
1t said the inactivation of the field
leaves that section of the territory
vulnerable to attack and invasion. y
1t adds that "vuinerability of the
Nome area could well expose all OF
the territory to ultimate enemy at
tack and invasion"
The Senate met only briefly and
adjourned until 10 am. tomorrow
With little on the Senate slate
yet for action, Sen. John Butro-
vich CR-Fairbanks) suggested an
afternoon session so committees
could dig into their work. Butro-
vich heads the important finance
committee.

SYSTEM
STUDIED
Profits May Be Limited
Unfreezing Of Large
BIots Coming Up
BY HAROLD w. WARD

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80 III
A plan to control prices by limiting
profits was under government study
today while wage stabilizers pressed
for their first major policy state
ment designed to free large blocs OF
wage earners from the pay freeze
of last week.
A new margin of profit" system
of price controls was advanced as
one way to replace the dead-halt
ordered last Friday on price mark
ups. Price Administrator Michael
v. Di Sale said the plan, under
which sellers would have to peg
prices at cost plus a fixed margin
of profit, might be ordered by the
end of the week.
The plan Di Sale said he is con-
sidering would limit profit margins
all along the line from manufactur-
err to retailer. The Friday price or
der fixed price ceilings at the high
est level between Dec. 10 and Jan.
rs. Wages were sealed at Jan. rs
levels.
Orderly Retreat
In the middle of the struggle for
an orderly retreat from the temp
orary wage-price freeze, Wage Sta
bilization Board Chairman Cyrus
S. Ching called on the public to
have patience.
$50 much more progress can be
made" he said, if the nine wage
experts could be left alone. How
ever, the first wave of mail after
the Friday order wasn't mountain
Gus. Most of it was from policemen,
firemen, school teachers and others
who wondered whether their wages
! were to be stabilized.
Wages-Salaries
The answer was to be forthcom-
F., ing in one of the earliest state
ments of the board. Wages and SAL
aries of the 100000 Federal, state
and city employees are fixed by legis-
lation and ordinances, and therefore
they were left out of the general
sterilization program in World War
III.
Some members of the wage board
favored an immediate interim form

ers in the future, clearing the way
for completion of negotiations in
hundreds of industries, now at a
standstill because of the order. That
should come first, the labor mem
bers argued.

PROBABILITY
YOUNGER men.
BE DRAFTED

& WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-Rl-A
former defense official said today
he thinks it probably will be neces-
sary soon to draft both 10 year olds
and young married men.
Tracy S. Voorhees,, former Un-
derseceretary of the Army. gave this
opinion to the Senate Prepared
ness Subcommittee Members of this
committee have been debating
whether it would be best Cd to
draft married men under 26 who
have no children, or CO extend the
draft to 10 year olds as recommend
ed by the Defense Department.
Senator Saltonstall (R-Mass)
asked Voorhees, which move he
thought would be wiser.
Voorhees, replied that he fav-
ored taking 18 year olds first but
added:
Question of Timing
"It won't make very much diff
ference except in timing, in my
personal opinion We are going to
have to take them both over the
next 10 months or two years"
Both the Senate group and the
House Armed Services Committee
are holding hearings on legislation
to extend the draft to l8 year olds
as a move toward eventual universal
military service and training (UM-
ST. for all physically fit men,
beginning at that age.
Voorhees, and two World War II
scientific leaders, DR.. Vannevar
Bush and DR.. William C. Mennin-
ger, joined in urging an immediate
start on UMST.
While these three were testifying
before the Senate group, Mrs. Anna
M. Rosenberg, Assistant Secretary
of Defense, told the committee
the Defense Department is opposed
to raising the draft age above 26
years of age.

STATEHOOD
IS ISSUE
IN HOUSE
Vote Is 1914 Against In.
ueasing Membership Of
Special Committee
BY BOZ DE ARMOND

Alaska statehood again became a
i. big issue in a minor sort of way
in the House of Representative this
morning.
The trouble started shortly be-
fore noon and just as the House was
about to adjourn for the day.
Rep. Jack Scavenius of Anch-
orage, a member of the Special
: Committee on Statehood, moved to
have the committee membership
increased "by three or more"
Scavenius had previously OBJ
jected in the House that one COM
mittee member = Rep. w. w. Laws
of Nome = is Sworn enemy of
statehood"
Other members of the committee
are Rep. Mike Stepovich of Fair
banks and Rep. Amelia Gundersen
, of Ketchikan.
Stepovich, who is chairman of
the committee, told the House that
four is a sufficient number of mem
bers to handle any and all business
that comes before the committee.
Equal Representation
He also pointed out that the
present membership constitutes
equal representation from each of
the four divisions.
Rep. Scavenius said this is a
very important committee and
more members might produce bet
ter ideas" Rep. Doris Barnes point
!. ed out that there had been no OBJ
lection to the size of the committee
when it was set up by the Commit
tee on Committees.
The motion to load the committee
with additional members lost on a
10-14 vote, all of the Republicans
and four of the Democrats in the
House voting against it, as well as
three of the four members of the
Statehood Committee.
Minor SkirmisheS
: Although the House had no bust
ness of great Importance today, the
session was marked by good many
minor skirmishes that provided
entertainment for the gallery but
did little to cement harmonious re-
lations between the members.
A motion by Rep Kay to refer
all appointments by the governor
to committees for study and evalu-
alton before a joint House-Senate
; session is held was voted down 8-16.
Another war developed over the
issue of referring or not referring
House Bill No. g. relating to unem-
ployment benefits, to the Judiciary
Committee. Rep. Stepovich asked
that the bill be given to the COM
mittee for study; Rep. Kay objected
that it was unnecessary. Rep. Stepo-
vich won the argument, II votes
to 7.
Child Labor Bill
A bill introduced this morning
