NEW PLANT FOR JUNEAU
 E POSSIBLE

The possibility of a plywood plant for Juneau is more than rumor, Thomas A. Morgan, president of the Columbia Lumber O., revealed in letter to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce this week.
 Morgan indicated that plans were fairly well advanced and that with the right cooperation it might easily become reality in 1852.
 For your information, wish to advise that we purchased a con- trolling interest in the Juneau Lum- Der Mill" the letter read, with the thought in mind that part of this property would be used for our pro- posed plywood plant. There is am- pie space for both the saWmill and the plywood plant on this property.
 "An application has been filed for a Certificate of Necessity, in or der to assure us of obtaining the machinery and equipment necessary for this plant. It will also give us adequate funds for the financing of the project.
 Some plywood construction ex- perts are working on layout at the present time, and will soon have these figures available for us, giving complete data as to machinery, equipment, and the cost of the com plete installation.
 Seeks Block of Timber
 T might also add that we nave filed an application with the U. s. Forest Service for the purchase of the Kosiusko block of timber, To- cated adjacent to Edna Bay This is the best stand of high grade tim Der in Southeast Alaska, and one that vii provide supply of veneer quality :ogs which will be needed for the Juneau plant.
 This application has been pend- ing since early last summer, and was renewed again recently, with a request that the installation of this plywood project would depend upon the Kosiusko timber. Therefore, the success of our efforts to establish this plant will depend largely upon the action of the Forest Service in handling this block of timber. If they elect to withhold it from sale we would very likely cancel out our plans for the plymood plant, as it is unlikely that an adequate supply of high quality veneer logs could be obtained from present sources.
 MT. Frank Heintzleman, of the Forest Service, is now in Washing ton and it may be that he will have the authority to proceed with this project upon his return. At any rate, we are hoping that this will be true, and that no further delay in the planning for the plywood mill will be encountered"

FUEL. TAX
 INCREASE
 I5 TABLED
By BOB DE RAYMOND

The House of Representatives by almost unanimous voice vote this morning tabled the bill increasing the motor fuels tax cent gallon.
 The tabling motion, which had failed several times previously, came after two amendments had been of fered and debated.
 A Ways and Means Committee amendment would place the addl- tional fuel tax revenues in the gen. eral fund. An amendment by Rep. Carlson would exempt marine sales and sales to stationary engines and off-road vehicles such as tractors from the tax increase.
 Neither amendment was adopted.
 Carlson contended that the tax works a hardship on the fishermen, who are required to pay it whether or not they receive a dime of return for their expenses and efforts.
 Rep. Kay, on the other hand, claimed an exemption for fishermen would make the tax discriminatory. Rep. McCptcheon compared tax payments/by fishermen with those of the aviation industry.
 "As an addition to their gross expenses, this tax is unfair to the fishermen" Rep. Johnson contend ed. If the fishermen make money, it will be reflected in revenues from the net incolne tax"
 The House also tabled bill re- pealing the law making Indian and Eskimo residents ineligible for cer- tain welfare benefits.
 Bills Passed
 Passed unanimously was H. B. 152, permitting the Tax Commis- sioner to require bond to assure collection of the Territorial School Tax by employers. Rep. McCutch- con, author of the bill, said it is aimed particularly against war con- Struction contractors.
 House Bill 120, redefining "sea- son wages credits in the Employ ment Security Act, passed the House by a 14-9 vote but was held over another day when Rep. Miscovich gave notice of his intention to re- consider.
 House memorials seeking the dredging of the northern portion of Gastineau Channel and asking the Board of Administration to unfreeze the 1949 appropriation for aid to community hospitals were approved by the House, as was joint reso- lution providing $2,50O to pay the expenses of legislative council on the reorganization program.
 Office Building
 The bill to appropriate $165,00o in addition to the S660,000 appro- priated in 1949, for the Territorial office building in Juneau and $100,- 900 for the purchase of building sites at Anchorage and Fairbanks Nirred up some warm debate in the House yesterday afternoon but the bill it.

FREEZE SHIP
 TAX BILL IS
 PASSED, 14-1

A bill to quadruple the tax on freezer ships and other types of floating cold storage units won IA to approval of the Senate today.
 The bill proposes 4 per cent raw fish value tax on such floating oper- ations in Alaska waters. All cold storage operators are now subject to a 1 per cent tax on raw fish value. The l per cent levy would continue for shore storage plants.
 The bill was introduced by three First Division senators Anita Garnick, Dr. R. M. Mackenzie and Elton Engstrom.
 The senators said the higher tax for the increasing number of float ing operators is justified because of the advantages they have over shore plants from the standpoint of property taxes and other angles. \ The big bugaboo that was raised, however, is whether courts might hold that the one-to-four differ ential is invalid under the organic act provision that "all taxes shall be uniform on the same class of sub jects'
 Attorney General Gerald Williams demurred from issuing an opinion on the question until he could study it further.
 Williams did disclose, however, that he is pessimfstic about the ex- pected finding of the circuit court of appeals on the nonresident fish ermen's license issue.
 Steve McCutcheon suggested that the proposed new tax should stand up in court on the basis of past de- cisions on the resident and non- resident license issue; that 1t is mainly matter of degree.
 Williams replied that in view of recent court decisions, and in view of the circuit court judges com- ments from the bench, the point on which the case hinges appears to be the differential in the cost of col lecting the nonresident tax. Will Hams said the judges indicated a tolerance of a nonresident differ ential but only so much more as is represented in collecting from them"
 Sen. John Butrovich broke in:
 We've lost the bill then. haven't we? Hadn't we better get ready to make refunds?"
 Williams, smiling, evaded the di- rect question with the reply:
 T migh. say I'm not too happy about the situation"
 EngstTom yentured an opinion that we have a different type of operation here than the non-resi- dent fishermen, and I think 1t should go through all right. I don't think we would be sticking our neck out too far"
 So the Senate voted IA to l to stick i, with McCutcheon the lone senator voting to hold it in.
 The Senate spent most of the rest of the morning in discussions on whether to receive number of House bills under suspension of the rules.

Diz
Turns Hero
In Movie
Deans Life Story
That of q Guy
Who Joked
BY Bob Thomos
HOLLYWOOD.

Latest sports figure to be inn
mortalized on film is the or Diz
himself-Jerome Dizzy" Dean.
Twentieth Century-Fox is Aim
ing the life story Of the former
pitching flash of st. Louis and
current baseball commentator and
word mangler of the air waves.
The picture is called 'The Pride
of st. Louis" not to be confused
with Pride of the Yankees"
Pride of the Marines" or Pride
and Prejudice"
The film is the inspiration Of
producer Jules Schermer, who has
long harbored the notion that the
Dean story would make a movie.
He got the studio to see it his way,
and then talked to Dizzy. who
was, of course. delighted.
Stories Fabulous.
II spent a week or so with Diz
in New York, where he broadcasts
the Yankee games" said the pro-
ducer. He told me some fabu-
lous stories and came away with
enough material for three pic
lures.
For instance, he was telling
about how he got married. He had
only known his future wife six
days before she agreed to marry
him. The press agent of the ball
CLUB sold him on an idea and one
day he took her to the stadium
without telling her the reason.
1t turned out they were supposed
to get married at home plate.
Mrs. Dean told him, You can
clown your way through baseball,
but you're not going to start our
married life with a joke The
!, incident will be used in the pic
ture."
Schermer said Deans imper-
senator. Dan Daley, will adhere
to the ball players character, even
, down to his murder of the English.
But Diz is no dope" the pro-
ducer added. Even when he
twists the language to suit his
+ purpose you always know what he
means.
This is the story of a guy who
thinks life is joke. He doesn't
find himself until he loses the
thing most valuable to him-his
pitching arm"
For realism's sake, Daley
