Weo+her Keeps Gop's From Attending Reeves Dinner

Although a delegation from Seward had planned 10 attend the testimonial dinner for Bob Reeves, held in Anchorage on Wednesday night of this week, bad weather prevented the trip.
 Planes could not make the trip that day, and several cars were stuck on the eWard-Anchorage highway.
 Reeves, well known Alaska bush pilot and air pioneer is the first candidate for either party to file his intentions to run for delegate to Congress. He is presl- dent and superintendent of op~ crations of Reeves Aleutian Air ways, Inc. It is felt in Republi- can circles that his knowledge of Alaskan problems qualities him for the position, and his official declaration has filled party mem bers with jubilation.

Juneau-In a SerieS of over riding regulations, the Office Of Price StabiliZation delegated authority to it's regional offices throughout the nation to act up on applications for ceiling price adjustments under the Capenart Amendment.
 An 'overriding" regulation is a regulation that cuts across all existing populations.
 Under the CapChart Amend mcnt, manufacturers, producers and prOcCSsorS may apply for ceiling price adjustments based upon increases or decreases in their costs of labor, materials and overhead from pre- Korea to July 26, 1851.
 Although there is little manu- facturing in Alaska, any adjust mcntS under h Capehart Amendment undoubtedly will be felt by Alaskans, Fred c. Han ford, Territorial OPS. Director, sad.
 Under our Alaska regula- tio2s, retailers may pass through any cost increases" " Hanford said. Since most merchandise sold in Alaska is shipped in from the States, any increases guaran- teed by Congress an3 granted under th- Capehart Amendment may eventually be reflected in increased costs to Alaska con sumerS.'

flew Lcws Face ngivers as 1852 Car Lie enses Due

There are several new Wrin- kles in the motor vehicle law as it affects the issuance of license plates for the year 1852 and Mrs. Stearns of the Territorial Licensing Department of Sew. ard, urges motorists today to study the new provisions care fully to avoid last minute con fusion and delays.
 For example, it was pointed out, the signature of trc regis tered owner of car is ncccs- sary for the procurement of license plates. Heretofore, au- thorized agents could obtain a license without the owners sig nature. Dealers could sign for customers.
 All cars not previously regis tered in the Territory must be physically inspected for 1852 license plates. Inc Alaska High Way Patrol or other peace off cerS may make tn inspection.
 New plates went on sale Dec. Is at the office of the City Lii censing Officer ia Gl>volu.
 h ans"tr to t.4c question, Can ear owner obtain 1852 li- cense piatos If the car carries an out-ol-otute title?' Mrs. Stearns replied, Yes. Alaska plates can be issued providing the out-of- S.ate tide Is surrendered at the time of application. However, if the Out-OI state title Is h-ld by licnholder in the States, the Alaska plates cannot be iSSu d. We can issue a permit which is good for 30 days ana costs S1.UU which will serve in lieu of the license plates"
 "Where joint ownership of a car is held by husband and wife, can either Slgn the registration certificate?' Mrs. Stearns was asked
 Yes" she replied. On joint ownership either the husband or wife can sign. out this is the reg istration only. On the title, where joint ownership exists, both husband and wife must sign the application for title.
 
 Last year many trucks carried passenger car plates. This will not be permitted during 1Q02, according to the Alaska High way Patrol. Trucks must carry plates designed for that type of vehicle.
