ATHENS-The chief subject ev- cry American is asked about. no matter what country he is travelling in, is Harry Truman's temperament Why, you are asked, does your President write so many letters? Why does he call people so many names? Why does he make so many quick statements in press confer ences?
 Few people in the United States realize how widely the Presidents letter to Paul Hume, Washington music critic, was published-from London to the smaller cities of the Balkans. In Turkey some news papers, having heard that the President once hurled an uncomp- limentary epithet in my direction, got mixed up and thought the Hume letter had been written to me.

FIRST DIvI5I0N'S
 SENAT0RS' BILLS
 ARE SIDETRACKED

The Territorial Senate passed two bills and killed three Saturday after noon.
 The principal bill approved would set up comprehensive system of motor vehicle registration in the Territory and boost licenses on trucks from a minimum of $l0 to a maximum of $400 for trucks of 10 tons and over. The vote on Sen. W. L. (Dan) Lhamons bill was IA to 2.
 The three defeated bills were all sponsored by First Division senators.
 They were:
 The Nolan -Engstrom bill to re- duce the nonresident fishing li- cense in waters three miles offshore to $10 from the present $50 in the hope of bringing more halibut catches through Southeastern Alas ka ports. The measure lost on an 3-8 vote.
 Anita Garnick's bill to start a presidential preferential primary and provide for the popular election of delegates to the national politi- cal conventions, which lost by g 10-6 vote in favor of Sen. Heinie Snider's motion to table. It was the anti-Albert White bill in new clothing
 Elton Engstrom's little Hatch act" to prevent any personnel oi the Territorial executive depart ments from trying to influence the outcome of elections, which failed on an 8-8 vote.
 Fishing Measure
 The fishing license measure caus- ed the most controversy. Sponsors ccntended too many halibut fisher men take cargces to Prince Ruper or Puget Sound ports to avoid tht $50 license fee for crew members Senators Nolan and Engstrom citee drop in halibut landings at Ketch- ikan in support of their contention that the license cut would be bene- ficial. Originally, the bill had pro posed eliminating the license beyond the three-mile limit. Nolan's amend ment to make it $10 carried on al 8-7 vote. The sponsors argued tha the $50 license fee is deterrent tt Southeastern landings, that the Ter ritory thereby loses tax collection on them and the ports lose the bus 1 mess of provisioning the boats.
 Wallis George, manager Of th' Juneau Cold Storage company, tool the stand to support their conten ton. He expressed the opinion tha if it hadn't been for the $50 licens' last season there would have beer much greater landings in Southeas ports"
 His statement was in reply t' arguments by Sen. R. M. MacKen zie and Vern Albright. internationa representative of the Internationa Longshoremen's and Warehouse mems Union. that landings in tn northern ports of Southeast Alaski -Sitka, Pelican. Juneau and other were higher last year.

HOUSE BILL
 141 PASSES
 SECOND TIME

House Bill Ill, to provide for re- organization of the Territory's f. nancial control system, was ap- proved by the House of Representa- tives this morning for the second time.
 The vote on passage of the bill was 14-10 this morning, and the vote was strictly along party lines with the Democrats favoring and the Republicans opposing the bill.
 On Saturday the vote on the bill was 16-8.
 Also reconsidered and passed by the House for the second time this morning was H. B. 80, providing for licensing and bonding of real estate brokers and salesmen.
 Two other bills were approved by the House and sent on their way for Senate consideration:
 H. B. IF provides that self-insur- CTS under the Alaska Workmen'S Act must pay $25 fee for the cer- tificate of approval as, self-insurers and must also pay into the Terri tory's general fund one twentieth of l per cent of their payrolls in lieu of the premium taxes that would otherwise be paid on their insur- ance policies.
 Third Class Cities
 House Bill 1l9, also approved this morning, would allow the incor- poration of municipalities of the third class in Alaska Present law provides only for first class and second class municipalities.
 At the time of the noon recess the House had under consideration H. B. 123, which redefines the word. contributions" in the Employment Security Act.
 This definition and it's application was the subject of court action in the First Division District Court last year and the case is now pend- ing before the Circuit Court of Ap- peals at San Francisco.
 The present law defines contribu- tions as money payments the Dis trict Court decided. The En- ployment Security administrators had defined it as money payments" plus experience rating credits
 The difference in definition makes a considerable difference in the amount of surplus in the Employ ment Security Fund and hence in the total of allowable experience rating credits.
 Saving to Employers
 The bill would change the law to conform with the agency's defi- hilton of the term. Tt will save the employers of the Territory millions of dollars if this bill is passed" George Crisman of the Employment Security office told the House. "If it is not passed, employers will not receive credit under the Federal Act for their experience rating credits"
 Attorney H. L. Faulkner, on the other hand, told the members that "this bill is sample of legislation being taken over by an adminis- trative agency and changed around as they want it."
 Faulkner contended that the Leg iSlature had clearly expressed it's

for this season. The decrease from
the same month of the preceding
wear is the first such decrease in Is
months. The explanation may be that
steady withdrawal of Montana work
ers for the armed services, and mi
grafton to jobs in armament plants
and defense construction, has siph-
oned away enough of the states
working force to round off the up
ward trend.
UP SLIGHTLY IN AUGUST
There were $4,000 industrial
workers employed in Montana in Aug
ust of 1850, as compared with 155,-
400 estimate for August this year,
and 154,700 in last July. Substantial
decreases occurred in the lumber and
logging industry, as result of re-
Taxing demand and lower price levels
for those products in the building
program. Curtailment in building in
turn is affected by restrictions on
materials and credit because of the
national security controls.
Other decreases occurred in metal
mining and processing, compensated
by increase of the working week to
six DAYS from five. in food process
ing, in handling of petroleum prod
ucts, and in construction. The con-
shrinkage is from the all
time high levels of a year ago, in all
types of buildings and housing, as
we'll as in total numbers employed
on dams, roads, bridges, pipelines
and tunnels.
"There were notable increases in
several industries, MIR. Miller added,
'but not quite enough to overcome
the small deficit in total. Interstate
railroads have increased their employ
nent figures over those of year
ago, there are more workers in the

new LAW WILL HELP
FILA BORROWERS

Farmers who borrow from the
Farmers Home Administration will
be better able to make adjustments
in farming operations, increase pro-
duction and work out balanced farm
and home management plans under
the newly enacted Public Law 1913,
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture announced recently.
The law, amending the Farmers
Home Administration Act of 1916,
enables the agency to make loans
for farm operating expenses up to
$1,000 for an initial loan and places
a ceiling of $4,000 on the indebted
ness outstanding at any one time.
The maximum repayment period is
seven years. Previously the initial
loan was limited to $4,000, the max
imum indebtedness to $4,000 and
the maximum repayment period to
five years.
SIN amending the loan terms, Con-
gress recognized that the costs of
farm operating expenses have in
creased sharply in recent years."

the Farmers Home Administration
explained. "a farmer who required
a $4,000 loan in 1916 for annual OPP

Use of Electricity Increases
ThreefoId

Use of power along the more than
100000 miles of electric coop lines
jumped 25 per cent during fiscal
1851, the Department of Agriculture
has reported. The increase emphasized
a big problem: where the electric
co-ops can get enough power to meet
the demands of their users.
They are now. distributing twice
as much power as in 1913 and three
times as much as in 1947.
