 ''The margin on tobacco is so small that we couldn't expect the merchant to absorb all of an add ed 2c tax," he said. Some law makers have expressed the opin- ion retailers would absorb such a tax. They argue that the retailers generally upped the price a nick el a pack when the Sc tax was put on.
 Engebreth said the most acute need for school buildings is out side incorporated districts and his own Third division ''has grown so rapidly that there is more need than in any other part of the Ter ritory."
 The Territorial Senate called upon the nations leaders today to ban Japanese fishing in Alaskan or Canadian waters in the propos- ed peace treaty with Japan.
 A resolution adopted unani- mously asks that the United States Senate "refuse to ratify any peace treaty with Japan that does not have full and adequate provisions for safeguarding fisheries in the coastal water of Alaska and in the northeastern Pacific Ocean ad- jacent theerto."
 The resolution was whipped through three readings and final passage in record time after in- troduction this morning by Elton Engstrom, Juneau Republican. 1t was sent to the House for approv- al before forwarding to President Truman, the secretary of state and Congressional leaders.
 The Senate passed it's first bill of the session designed to change an existing law. Introduced by Sen. Frank Barr, Fairbanks Demo crat, it would give courts discre- tionary authority to sentence youths under 19 to 20 years for incestuous rape or rape of juven- lies.

 The House postponed indefinite ly, 14 to 10, a memorial to Con- gross asking a 20 per cent reduc- tion in the federal income tax for Alaskans.
 The motion to table Rep. Jack Conright's memorial was made by Rep. Wendell P. Kay in the first split in the solid Third Division lineup. but on the final vote Kay voted against his own motion and restored the solid Division front.

JUNEAU, .P)-The Territorial House re-passed Saturday a bill
The Nome nugget., 1951-02-05
Monday. February $. 1851

Monday. February 5. 1851 JUNEAU, R)-A proposal for territorial bond issue to finance school construction is likely to come before, the legislature that is starting its third week today.
 Senate president Gunnard Eng ebreth R-Anchorage), who voted against a similar measure in the l949 session, says he intends to introduce a $l5,000,000 bond issue resolution in this session. He said changing times have changed his mind.
 It has to be in the form of a resolution to Congress, asking permission for a bond issue. Un- der the Organic act, the legisla- ture can't actually vote a bond is- sue without congressional sanc- ton. That's one of the numerous congressional apron strings to which the territorial legislature is tied.
 Whether such bond issue could win the legislatures approval, even if Congress were willing, is a moot question. While Engebreth has changed his mind on the issue, many of the senators are talking firmly of sticking to "pay as we go" basis.
 If the bonding proposal does not win the necessary territorial and congressional approval, said the Senate president, "then see no school construction program for the next biennium unless we do either of two things-1. h. crease taxes or, 2. Reduce other government expenditures"
 "In the cities we bond for sew CTS, street improvements, and light facilities, and I see no reason why we shouldn't do it to solve the crying need for school facilities" he declared. 'Some may argue we should wait and build schools la- ter, but children don't wait. They grow" CThe Anchorage business man and ex-teacher is the father of six of them)
 Explaining his changed view from 2 years ago, he commented: i Circumstances are different now. Then we had just passed three fundamental tax measures and some minor ones. It appeared unwise to request bonding since we didn't know what the revenue bills, would produce and whether they would be held constitutional. Major tax bills now have been upheld in court and it is proper

When Worlds Collide Cominq To 20ir Century

Producer George Pal is a man with both feet on the ground and his head in the clouds. One of Hollywood's most ingenious and re- sourceful film makers, Pal can simultaneously ponder a fabulous space adventure and the down-to- earth problem of staging it realis- tically.
 Filmgoers had their last view of his combined imagination and knowhow in Destination Moon, !" will get an even mores astounding demonstration in the Technicolor epic, When Worlds Collide" open ing Wednesday at the goth Century Theatre.
 To stage this electrifying pano- rama of the earth's destruction, Pal again applied his earlier ex- perience in making Puppetoons. These animated shorts used ingen- ious miniature sets and puppets, rather than conventional cartoon drawings. Though it's massive jump from light-hearted fables to an awesome cosmic smash-up, the Puppetoon miniature technique was the basis for the frightening reaiis- tic effects in the drama of dooms- day and rocket escape to another planet.
