Civilian Defense Gets $4OO,OOO

JUNEAU, (P)- The principal final night contest came over civ ilian defense and the reorganiza- ton bill. After the House cut the civilian defense appropriation to $3O0,0O0, Sen. Frank Barr told the Senate apparently lot of people don't realize there's a war on."
 A conference committee later compromised midway between the Senate and House versions at $4OO,OOo.
 Of the total $15O,OO0 will be for administration and civilian training and $250,O0O for federal matching.
 Administration Bill Passes Several hours before Senate fi- nale over naming Senate members of the Board of Administration, the House approved the Senate amendments to the reorganization bill unanimously.
 Even critics said the Senate had improved the bill by amendments, but Republicans spoke vehement ly in behalf of their earlier insist ance on delayed action.
 Rep. James MacKinnon, Juneau Republican, said it had been "rail- roaded" through the House pre- viously, and that the Senate had to amend many flaws. Rep. Mike Stepovich R-Fairbanks) alleged the bill originally had been "like a choo-choo going through that door,"
 In the closing hour Senator Lyng challenged validity of the whole procedure. He cited bill passed by the Legislature midway in the session forbidding legislators to serve on boards. and warned:
 'I assure you that one day after we leave it will be in the courts"
 Engstrom, who is Alaska Re- publican Central Committee Chair-y man, angrily charged the reorgan- ization measure was "crammed down our throats." Dog License Fees Fixed
 Another final day action was House approval of a Senate bill for licensing of roaming dogs. It fixes licenses of $2 for male and $3 for female dags and provides that unlicensed rowing dogs may be destroyed after being held five

By Alice Eversmon

Lillian Freundlich. who first ap-
peared at the Phillips Gallery
some six years ago, returned there
yesterday afternoon for a piano
recital. She offered a program
that allowed Of appraisal of her
artistic equipment in several styles
and. for the most part, she full
filled all expectations.
The pianist's admirable tech
nique is of energetic quality which
has the added virtue of giving
each note its proper value in pure
ly display passages. This brought
extra clarity to Beethoven'S Ron
do in G" with which the program
opened and here too, Miss Freund-
lich showed her ability to form
clean musical outlines. If her
tone was somewhat fortnight in
this charming number, and some
of her effects too forcefully set
down. the maintained clarity in
both hands gave a special delin-
cation to the runs.
With the difficult Bloch "Son-
ata." she demonstrated real un-
derstanding of the idiom and of
the complex rhythmic patterns.
But the imaginative element was
less in evidence and the tendency
was never absent to employ a pow
erful tone devoid of accompanying
color variations. More meaning
would have accrued to the heavy
diSsonances and the underlying
objective of the music been more
apparent. AS it was. a Sameness
of plan was used in the three
movements with little tempo vari-
ations to distinguish them. The
Sonata" is a massive work, tech
nically demanding in the extreme
and Miss Freundlich met the re-
quirements in this respect with
complete skill and assurance.
Chopin's "Berceuse" and Bar
carolle," were more foreign to her
temperament and musical feeling
than the Bloch sonata. Not only
were the ideas not deeply grasped
but there were technical mishaps
in several places. Miss Freund-
lich has need of more imaginative
contemplation of works such as
these to give the final touch to
her playing which otherwise has
distinctive qualities.
David Baker Sings.
A program that asked no more
of the listener than that he sit
back and enjoy it was given in
the National Gallery of Art last
night by David Baker, baritone.
with the Rev. Russell Woollen at
the piano It consisted of folk
songs of French. Spanish, Portu-
guese. Sicilian, Neopohtan, Swed-
ish, British. American and Irish
origin. With the exception of the
last three nationalities. all were
sung in the native language or
dialect.
This was a pity. although
translation of the text gave the
gist of the songs. Such lovely
numbers should be followed from
phrase to phrase even though, in
English, some of their flavor would
necessarily be sacrificed. Mr..
Bakers very appealing voice has
warmth and tenderness in its
timbre that conveyed the meaning
nonetheless. He understands the
style of this special art and sang
convincingly. A greater effort

He had excellent assistance
from Father Woollen, who put
into the accompaniments the &C

pathetically. Both artists were
applauded in a manner that
showed this program gave special
pleasure to the gallery audience.

Bic GAME GUIDES PROTEST SEASON
 ON KODIAK BEARS

A telegram protesting the Chamber of Commerce and the Kodiak Livestock Growers Asso- ciation's suggestion that protec- ton be withdrawn on bears on the northeast end of Kodiak Is- land was sent to Clarence Rhode, U. s. Fish and Wildlife head at Juneau, last week by big game guides of Kodiak.
 The telegram pointed to the money the town received from Sportsmen who come here to hunt bear and pointed out that the guides feel the present laws offer sufficient protection to the cattle.
 A year round open season on Kodiak bears was asked recently in a joint memorial introduced in the Territorial House.
 The measure calling the bears menace to livestock, was intro duced by Reps. Chester C. Carl son of Cordova and Jack Scaven- jus of Anchorage, both Democrats.
 It said that the records show more than 200 head of livestock were killed in recent years by Kodiak bears.

Another Hearing Set
On Alexandra S New
zoning Ordinance

Alexandria's proposed new mas
ter plan and zoning ordinance will
be gone over again at another
public hearing on December 20.
A date for the new public hear
ing was set by the Council last
night, as it approved the new
coming plan on first reading. The
Ordinance was approved, with the
amendments recommended by the
planning commission.
A second reading and the De-
cember % hearing is necessary,
however, before the ordinance can
be adopted and Councilmen indi-
Gated they may make some revi-
sions at that time.
The new zoning plan has been
aired at two previous public hear
Iings-one before the Council and
one before the planning commits
sion. The Council will continue
to receive written recommended
tionS for reviSionS through Decem-
her 18.
Before the new public hearing,
councilmen said they will meet
with the Planning Commission to
discuss changes that have been
recommended.
One revision would create an
other zone classification of 5000
square-foot lots for single-family
dwellings only. AS presently writ
ten, the ordinance has a 5000
square-foot lot zone for duplex
dwellings, but residents in the
Rosecrest and Taylor Run areas
would like to see that changed to
lprevent construction of duplex
dwellings near them.

BY the Associated Press


BALTIMORE, Dec. I2.-Magis-
trate Avrum K. Rifman, once
linked with a balky Senate Crime
Committee witness, had his Job
back today with the Governors
blessings.
Gov. McKe1din yesterday re-
fused to accept Mr.. Rifman's offer
to resign and asked him to resume
his duties at once.
The magistrate had offered to
step down after it was revealed he
had business associations with
George Goldberg. At crime COM
mittee hearing the latter refused
to answer some questions on the
grounds of possible self-incrim-
ination.
The committee was putting the
spotlight on the interstate gam
bling rackets.
In backing up Mr.. Rifman, Gov.
McKeldin went along with a rec
ommendation of the Executive
Committee of the Baltimore Bar
Association. At the same time he
ignored the advice of the associa-
tion's Judiciary Committee. That
group said it felt the Governor
should accept the resignation be-
cause of possible public suspicion
and distrust."
In statement released to the
press, the Governor attacked the
Baltimore Sunpapers. whom he
blamed for publishing the article
that led to Mr.. Rifman's resigna-
ton.
