 WAGE PEACE

WASHINGTON, March 10 -lfl- Eric Johnsons effort to make a compromise peace in the wage con- trol controversy ran into reporteaiy adamant opposition today from or ganized labor
 The economic stabili2ation admin istrator. in week-long conference was understood to be pressing labor and industry to accept remodled wage stabilization board with lIn- tied power to settle labor disputes.
 Some industry figures were said to lean to such solution provided the board handled disputes arising only from wages and other "eco- homie issues"
 Union leaders, it was learned, are insisting that the board have JurlS- diction in any dispute which threat ems defense production.
 The board remained crippled by labor's refusal to let union repre- SentatiVeS serve. me llultStlS spokesmen have indicated they will refuse to serve if the board is given unlimited jurisdiction to settle dis putes.

HUH Nf ' bers of the House, in attacking the Police Department bill found them selves in the position of defending Metcalf and the Highway Patrol.
 In answer to questions by Rep Miscovich, Metcalf sad Highway Patrol officers have the power of United States marshals. The pro posed police department, he said, would cost a lot of money fer something you already have"
 He said he didn't believe 26 men could police the Territory and that 50 men would probably not be enough. In answer to question by Rep. Hendrickson as to the amount of liquor enforcement work done by the patrol, Metcalf first said the patrol does none, then added that they do check out-of-town liquor establishments to see that minors are not present.
 To Spend More
 Metcalf said he expects to spend more money on the Highway Pa trol during the next biennium than he did during the last and that it will be necessary to increase pay rates in order to hold the men.
 He told of one patrolman who is quitting April l to take a $10oO-a- month truck-driving job.
 q was told Rep Kay commented that two of your men at Fairbanks had quit for political reasons.
 Metcalf, in answer to a question by Franklin, said he does not sub init a budget of proposed Highway Patrol expenditures to the Board of Road Commissioners but that he does try to keep a balance between expenditures for the patrol and for road and harbor facilities work.
 I'm glad to know that you limit the Highway Patrol so as to spend some of the money on purposes for which it was intended" Franklin said.

 The second Nome memorial ap- proved by the Senate was one by Lyng and Anderson asking the Ter ritory to take over the annual S2,500 payment Nome has to make to the Federal government under a 1916 agreement for dredging of the Nome harbor.
 Retirement Act
 The Senate opened the afternoon session with testimony by former Attorney General Ralph Rivers against the House-approved bill for repeal of the l949 territorial em- ployees retirement act.
 Rivers contended the repeal pro- posal. so territorial employees could 20 under Federal Social Security in- stead, was unwise.
 He said Feedral Social Security is "a sorely inadequate substitute for our retirement fund" particu- larly for those who will be retiring in the next 10 years.
 He noted that Feedral employees have their own retirement system in preference to social security, and pleaded:
 "Our system hasn't had fair trial and we worked so hard to get 1t.
 He said an act could be passed to allow city employees to go under social security without knocking out the whole territorial act.
 Sen. John Butrovich commented that there was division of senti- ment among territorial employees over the issue.
 Butrovich asked why territorial employees shouldn't be under the Federal system, the benefits o1 which they could take with them if they shift to statesside jobs.
 Rivers replied: Our system is pre- ferable for those who plan to stay with the territorial government sery- ice" !
 Senator Barr said he was advised there is $25O,oO0 in the retirement fund.
 Rivers predicted there would be a clarnor for reinstatement of the retirement act by the 1853 Legls- lature if it is repealed now.
