LEGISLATORS PLAN
 SlTkA TRIP kFTER
 SENATE "N0" VOTE

Most members of the legislature apparently are going to make their biennial trip to the Pioneers Home at Sitka this Friday and Saturday despite a senate vote against it. The House refused to concur.
 The Senate voted to Satur- day in favor of sending only com- mittee of seven for the inspection trip-four from the oHuse and three from the Senate. Opponents of the mass expedition contended it isn't worth the money and time involved.
 The resolution for session ex- penses includes a $1, 800 item for fi- nancing the visitation. The legisla- tors plan to fly to Sitka Friday and return Saturday on the Baranof.
 The House voted for the trip despite protest by Rep. Glen Franklin D-Fairbanks) Its not really an inspection; it's mainly a pleasure trip"
 There was confusion over the &C., tual vote in the House in favor of the Sitka trip It was proposed that Sen. Joe Coble (R-Fairbanks), i, chairman of the Senate Territorial Institutions Committee, be called into the House to explain the Sen ate action. When a voice vote was taken on sending a message to 1 the Senate" it was unanimous.
 Some members protested that they thought the vote was to send a message for Coble to come over, but Speaker William Egan held the vote to have been on the issue of sending a message of non-concur- renee to the Senate. Franklin ob- iected vigorously and the matter was not wholly settled when the House adjourned for the weekend.
 It seemed definite, however, that the proposal of sending only com- mittee was a dead one.
 Arguments in support of the trip were that it is advisable for the legislators to see the home opera tions and the orthopedic hospital at Mount Edgecumbe and that the oldtimers at the home look forward to seeing the lawmakers and airing any complaints they may have. Sup- porters of the full junket said the legislature could not act on import ant bills, anyhow, with a committee gone.
 Senator Coble made the Senate motion for sending a committee. He and some other senators argued that it was waste of time and money for so many to go when more and more bills were calling for action in the closing weeks of the session. They suggested there was no more reason for the trip to Sitka than trip to inspect the University of Alaska at Fairbanks.
 1 Rep. w. w. Laws. (R-Nome) chairman of the House Committee on Territorial Institutions, reported 40 persons had signed for the trip.

" ASHINGTON. = Mobilization boss Charles Wilson will assume drastic powers over aluminium, cop per and steel, beginning the middle of June. He will put these stra- tegic metals under a controlled material plan, which will give the government authority to regulate their use down to the last pound.
 Wilson spelled out his plan be- hind closed doors to the joint congressional committee on defense production.
 "The controlled materials plan is one that will operate on scarce materials absolutely" the mobiliza- tion boss explained. T mean, it will have the control of all the material in the particular line that is short"
 However, Wilson added ruefully: "Once you start to control things, it is terrific job. That is why I hate controls, and from the very bottom of my heart hate con- trols."

FOR
 5-CENT TAX
 ON (IGARETS
Vote Is il to 4 on First Tax Boost Measure of
 Session
By JIM HUTCHINSON

The Senate .oted II to 4 today to boost the territorial cigaret tax to 5 cents pack.
 It was the first tax bill to be ap- proved by either house this session. It goes now to the House.
 The present tax is cents pack. Under the proposed additional tax, the revenues would continue to go exclusively for school buildings.
 The only votes against the meas ures were by the three southeast Alaska senators - Republicans FL ton Engstro,n and Anita Garnick and Democrat James Nolan - and Senate President Gunnard Enge- breth (R-Anchorage. Sen. John Butrovich was absent.
 Supporters of the measure argued that the added cigaret tax is the most painless way" to raise neces- sary new revenue; that the smokers don't complain about the tax, and that when the Scent tax was enact- ed in 1949 the retailers added cents a pack to make a 25-cent price.
 Opponents contended that the tax will be passed along to con- sumers because retailers do not have enough profit margin to ab- sorb it; that there have been two wholesale cigaret price increases since the 3-cent tax was enacted and the retailers have absorbed those out of their 1949 price boost
 The measure was introduced by Sen. Steve McCutcheon D-Anch- orage). who had proposed the 5-cent figure in 1949.
 Engebreth made the main argu- ment against the tax boost In ad- dition to the higher -price-to-the- smoker arguments, he expressed concern about additional business going to the Federal commissalies in the Anchorage and Fairbanks area. He said such tax-free pur- chases by construction workers, who are eligible to use the commits saries, might defeat the whole pur- pose of the cigaret tax.
 The non-smoking senator added
 'The working man has few enough pleasures, so why should he have to pay such a heavy tax on his smoking?"
 Sens. Frank Barr, Ed Anderson and Heinie Snider suggested the added tax might have a beneficial effect in cutting down on the amount of smoking.
 Tax Tobacco Unchanged
 The tax on other forms of tobacco : would not be changed. The tax on all forms of tobacco produced $442,- 632 last year for the school build ings fund. Sponsors have predicted the cigaret increase would add sev- eral hundred thousand dollars of revenue for the biennium.

 Tn another Committee of the whole hearing, presided over by Rep. Rasnes and on the subject oI amendments to the old Age Assist ance law, Henry Harmon, Director of Public Welfare, took the stand
 The bill seeks to change the pres ent requirement. that recipients Of old age assistance benefits must be citizens.

"I'm willing to lose an eye for
this fight"
Jake LaMotta, middleweight
champion of the world, made this
statement as he and challenger
Ray (Sugar) Robinson faced the
Illinois Athletic commission to
officially sign for their Feb. IA
title bout.
LaMotta is one champion who
loves his crown. He wears his
championship belt around his
waist at all times. He told the
commission he was willing to give
up an eye for this bout in the
discussion of a technical knock
out.
The 16O-pound king, who has
fought Robinson five times be-
fore, does not want this fight
stopped whether he is getting beat
or not unless the fighter gives
his okay. He will have a physician
in his corner as a second.
When Chairman Joe Triner told
him the commission only wanted to
protect him and prevent him from
losing an eye, Jake retorted:
"Ill get along with one eye."
Jake is the only fighter to ever
whip the welterweight champ in
either pro or amateur ranks. Ro-
binson, however, has whipped the
champ four times. Sugar Ray has
never floored LaMotta, but Jake
has floored him twice.
In fact, Jake has never hit the
floor during his fistic career APP

that Harrison County Negroes

bership in the Citizens Party or
any other political group. The
opinion stated that the primary
election of the Citizens Party "has

parently he does not expect to be
dropped in the Feb. IA bout.
Besides Robinson, Jake is facing
one other opponent, his weight. In
Chicago, Jake refused to answer
all questions on weight except for
the comment that he weighs a
round 100 pounds.
He has been given the privilege
of weighing in at 10 am. on the
morning of the fight, thus allow
ing himself time to build up by
fight time. If he does not make
the weight at 10, he will have
until noon to make it up, or else
he will lose his championship by
forfeit.
Jake has been allowed the priv
lege of weighing in the nude if
his tights add too much. So for
this bout, weighing in ceremonies
will be closed to women. Jake
