BY the Assoeiafed Press

LONDON. Nov. 14.-A spokes-
man of the Blue Star Line said
today the 7,000-ton freighter Ia
coma Star, which was forced to
anchor in San Francisco Bay after
Is seamen had refused to sail. was
due to leave the Pacific Coast for
Britain Friday.
"We have received no news of

Senator Asks Truman
To Block Any Plan 10
Lease TideIands Now
BY the Associated Press

President Truman has been
asked to see that the Federal Gov
ernment makes no attempt to
lease oil-bearing submerged coast
al lands until Congress settles the
controversy over ownership of the
property.
The request was made yesterday
by Senator Lyndon B. johnson,
Democrat, of Texas, in letter to
the President.
Saying that persistent reports"
indicated the Interior Department
may attempt to issue leases on the
submerged lands, the Texan in
his letter to Mr.. Truman added:
Congress has never passed
legislation authorizing such leases.
THE theory that ample au-
thority for such leasing was
granted by the Surplus Property
Act of 1949 is shocking to me, and
I am sure it would be shocking
to most members of the Congress.
NO such intent was ever discussed
or recorded.
II hope that you may find oc-
casion to reaffirm your traditional
position that matters such as this
should be settled by Congress and
give your assurance that no Fed
eral assertion to control over the
tidelandS will be made without a
clear-cut determination of ma
Itional policy by Congress.
The Supreme Court has ruled
that the Federal Government has
paramount rights over the off,
shore lands. The decision, how
ever, did not pass specifically on
the question of title to the prop
erty. Conflicting bills to give the
property to the States and to the
Federal Government are awaiting
congressional action.

Boy Cleared of Murder

BLOUNTVILLE. Tenn, Nov. IA
P.-Jasper Fritts, Is. has been
cleared of a murder charge in the
fatal stabbing of a playmate dur
ing a tent revival meeting near
here two months ago. A Sullivan
County jury returned a not-guilty
verdict for the youngster, who was
quoted by police as saying that he
knitted Billy Joe Cox, Is, because
he had been splitting on my little
brother and had hit me with a
songbook."

The inherent desire for or
ganized worship is helping many
Washington congregations con-
quer religious housing shortages
Many new congregations that
haven't been able to build churches
are forced to hold services in pri-
vate homes and Easements OF
apartment buildings.
The Trinity Baptist Church, a
congregation only one and half
years old. is an example of such
a group.
One hundred and thirty adults
and children meet each Sunday in
the large recreation room of the
Riggs Manor Apartments, 6813
Riggs road, Hyattsville, Md, and in
several private homes in the area
The Rev. Leslie E. Gould, who
organized the congregation, must
hold his church services at 1890
Sunday morning and plan his
service to include children for the
first part.
Although the apartment man
agement is cooperative. Mr.
Gould can't allow his Sunday
school classes to meet before
church services because there are
many residents there who belong
to other churches or who don't go
to church at all. and they don t
like to be disturbed early Sum-
days"
In the middle of the service,
the children leave. The primary
Sunday school group go to the
home Of Mrs. Edward Sparough,
2101 Amherst road. Lewisdale,
Md. for their Bible lessons. The
junior and intermediate boys are
taught in the home of Robert Lam
bert, 1908 Twenty-third avenue
in Lewisdale. The junior girls use
the home of Maj. Emmitt Peter
son. in the Riggs Manor Apart
ments, and the intermediate girls,
the home Of Mrs. William Bond,
6907 Twenty-first avenue in Lewis
dale.
The whole situation presents
transportation problems, but the
congregation is determined to see
it through until its new church
building is constructed at Riggs
road and Beechwood drive.
The Green Valley Presbyterian
Church has a similar problem.
The congregation meets in the
basement Of an apartment at 1903
Southern avenue, Shipley Terrace,
Md.
Formally organized in Novem-
ber, 1850, the group expects to
begin its new church building on
avenue near South
ern avenue next year. The great
est obstacle to that is the fact
that streets haven't yet been put
through to the site and water
mains haven't been laid.
The Rev. James c. Fahl, pastor
Of the Metropolitan Presbyterian
who has also been con-
Quoting services at Green Valley,
has felt the problem, too. He has
had to conduct his regular services
at II am. Sundays and
then hurry out to Green Valley
for 1890 pm. services immedi-
ately afterward.
The Eastminster Presbyterian
Church congregation. organized a
short while ago, bought a site with
an old house on it at 5601 Ran
dolph street, Bladensburg, Md.
The church services are held on
the first floor after the Sunday
school classes meet in the upstairs
bedrooms and in the basement
furnace room.
But they'll stick it out until
they build their new building next
year, too.
There are dozens of congrega-
tions about town which are forced

SIGNS HIMSELF OFF OF }
 ALASKAN BOARDS

Governor Gruening advised the Legislature Saturday that he had signed the third of the bills to remove him from various Territorial boards.
 The Governor signed into law a bill introduced by Rep. Jack Sea- venius (D-Anchorage) and Will liam Egan removing him from the Aeronautics Commission. He pre- viously had signed bill removing himself from the Development Board and Board of Health.
 The Governor had recommended the removals

(Twenty-eighth of a Series)

Alaska's 18th Governor, Dr. Er- nest Henry Gruening, has served longer in the office than any of the l2 governors who preceded him, and longer, for that matter, than any of the 13 Russian governors who succeeded Alexander Baranof.
 Baranof, the first of the Russian governors, hung up a record that IS not likely to be equaled-20 years on the job.
 But Dr. Gruening has set an- other record unequaled by any of his predecessors, Russian or Am erican. This is a record for the amount of time spent away from the Territory of which he is gov- ernor.
 Even in the percentage of time spent elsewhere than Alaska dur ing his incumbency, Dr. Gruening has outstripped all the others ex- cept the first American governor John H. Kinkead who served only ten months and four days and didn't come to Alaska at all during that time.
 A check of newspaper files fol the past six calendar years reveals that Governor Gruening was away from the Territory more than g third of the time-two years ano 145 days, to be exact.
 During the year 1850 he was out of Alaska for six months and ter days-from January l until Fehru- ary 3, February IA until March 22 March 28 until May II, June + until June 21, September IS unti November l, and December 6 unti December 24.
 Longest single absence during the six-year period was 105 days ir 1945-1946, but there were a couple of 100-day trips, one in l949 anc one that started in 1949 and rar over into 195U.
 Since the absences of Governor Gruening have grown progressively longer-a little more than twc months in 1945 and more than six months in 1950-it may be expected that if he holds onto the office long enough he will spend scarcely any time at all in the Territory perhaps making a flying visit in February and March of odd-num- bered years to glance over the bills passed by the Legislature.
 And speaking of gubernatorial absences, pr. E. H. G. has been notably scarce around the galler- ies and corridors of the Legislature this session as compared with somt of the previous sessions.
 So far as we are aware, he ha. been down there only four times when he delivered his message tc a point session, when called to ap- pear before a joint executive ses- sion, to hear a talk to a joint seS- sion by H. Clyde Reeves on the subject of reorganization, and wher called in by the House Committed on Ways and Means regarding al

A NORTHERN NOTEBOOK
 By BOB DE ARMCND
By BOB DE ARMCND

Building at Juneau.
 This change of tactics may or may not have been influenced by certain remarks of United States Senator Eugene D. Milliken of Col orado during the hearing on Gov- ernor Gruenings's confirmation at Washington, D. c. in 1949.
 Said Senator Milliken, in part "To me it does not make any diff terence who improperly influences the legislator. I am suggesting that the Governor with all of his pres tige and power exerts a tremen- dous influence when he commences to circulate around the legislature halls and commences to make im- portunities for the furtherance of his program. I am wondering whether you have used the prestige of your office to try to overawe the Legislature"
 The Governor of Alaska is by no means the only official, Federal or Territorial, who has done a lot Of travelling in recent years, and travel expense has become size able budget item at both the Fed eral and Territorial levels.
 We have no idea how much the Federal government spends on travel each year, but 1t is not un- reasonable to expect that com- mittee of Congress or special commission will one of these days make study of it, turn in a re- port and make recommendations, and that the matter can then rest for another decade or two.
 At the Territorial level, how ever, the report of Auditor Neil Moore lists travel expense for the 21 months from April l, 1949, to December 31, 1850, at $407, ,119.64 plus another SPA, ,42088 for vehicle operation.
 These totals do not include all expenditures for travel expense and vehicle operation since in several departments all expenditures are Jumped as Administrative Ex- pense."
 Largest departmental expendi- lures for the two items, as listed by the Auditor, were:
 Department of Agriculture. $4,- 93204 for travel.
 Department of Fisheries: $21,- 8e4.94 for travel; S1,326.42 for ve- hicle operation.
 Department of Mines: $14,351.8( and $344.54.
 Alaska Aeronautics Division: $8,- 5102l and $50.
