 BOND ISSUE

Another school bond issue pro- posal failed to pass in the Senate this morning.
 The vote was to ' for Rep. Jack Conright's measure. but nine votes were needed. It was request to Congress for the right to issue up to $9,0000o0 in Territorial bonds for school purposes, provided 60 per cent of the electorate approves such action at the polls. It also carried suggestion for Federal matching funds.
 The senators have talked up and down the issue so many times that they dispensed with debate this morning and got right down to the rollcall.

 Against were Republicans Butro- vich, Coble, Engstrom, Lhamon. Snider and Democrats Lyng and Nolan. Sen. Frank Barr was absent because of illness.
 It was a quiet morning in the Senate after the pell-mell 50th day deadline pace that lasted until 10  o'clock last night.
 Children's Home Bill
 The Senate this morning com pleted legislative approval on the bill for licensing of children's homes by the Territorial Department of Public Welfare It is modified version of a bill that has been be- fore the legislature for several ses- sions, and which Minnie Field op- posed with telling effect while she was running her home.
 The Senate voted II to 3 for the Amelia Gundersen- Doris Barnes sponsored bill.
 Welfare Director Henry Harmon said there was no desire or inten- ton of clamping down on existing homes, but authority over them was desirable to enforce minimum standards. He said new homes are needed, but the department wants to keep an eye on what they are like.
 The Senate approved Rep. J. s. MacKinnon's memorial to Federal authorities for an income tax ex- emption for new industries coming td Alaska. The memorial cited the desirability of such concession in the attempt to draw new capital to the Alaska high risk area.
