Wages. Hours Bill Is Passed
 By22-2 vote
By BOB DE RAYMOND

Rep. c. c. Carlson's wages and hours bill, HB.12, passed the House yesterday afternoon by the very handy margin of 22-2.
 There was no debate on the bill when it came up on the calendar for third reading. The two opposing votes were cast by George Misco- vich and Stanley McCutcheon, the latter obviously voting with an eye to the conference committee should the measure reach that point.
 The bills fate in the Senate is somewhat in doubt. The upper House has passed a bill setting minimum wages, without regard to hours, and might consider it's own measure adequate.
 The Carlson bill provides mini- mum wages of S1 an hour. except for persons performing occasional chores only, baby-sitters and part time work by paper delivery boys errand boys.
 Also exempt from the provisions of the bill are persons employed in the production of an agricultural produce during seasonal operations of not more than l6 weeks in a year.
 Maximum hours of work, as pro- vided in the bill, is 40 in one week, with time and one-half for all work in excess of 40 hours.
 Other Measures Passed
 During the afternoon session the House also passed:
 House Joint Memorial No. 3, by Rep. Madsen, requesting that the Defense Minerals Administration offer every possible assistance to Alaska mining operators, and that the U. s. Bureau of Mines under take extensive exploration activl- ties to determine the grade and ex- tent of strategic and. critical min eral deposits known or indicated to occur in Northwestern Alaska. Passed 24-0
 Senate Joint Resolution No. l, by Senator Engstrom, asking that Jap anese fishing vessels be excluded from the waters of Alaska and Brit ish Columbia and that this be stip- ulated in the treaty of peace with Japan. Passed 24-0.
 Senate Joint Memorial No. l, by Senator Anderson, seeking reactiv- , ation of Marks Airfield at Nome Passed 24-0.

Board Reorganization and Teachers Pay Increase
 Bills Come In
By BOB DE ARMOND

George Miscovich, Sniper first class, fired the final shot this morn ing in the battle for the Republic of Alaska, but it proved to be dud. Miscovich moved for Committee of the Whole so the House could hear Henry A. Benson "an eminent authority of the subject of Inde- pendence for Alaska"
 He was ruled out of order because of a motion already before the House.
 The motion was by Rep. McCut- cheon, to reconsider his vote on an amendment offered and voted on yesterday.
 The amendment sought to strike from the memorial the portion de-
 manding the right of independence and formation. of the Republic of Alaska.
 This amendment had occupied the attention of the House during most of it's afternoon session yesterday and resulted in a "call of the House." several roll calls, numerous
 recesses to enable the Rules Com
 mittee to deliberate points of or der, a notice of reconsideration. a waiver of this notice and second notice of reconsideration. Vote Is Demanded Carrying out Rep. Stepovich's demand that members of the House be counted on the unmodified me-
 morial, 10 Republicans and three Democrats - Franklin, Gundersen
 and Madsen - steadfastly opposed all efforts to amend the measure i The 1911 vote held this morn- ing, on the reconsideration vote. The Republicans were unable to muster the necessary strength, how
 ever, to force final vote on the
 memorial itself and they made an l orderly withdrawal from the field when the proponents of statehood
 or else" began their retreat.
 We've wrangled long enough over | this two-bit memorial" Rep. Misco- vich commented when Rep. Kay moved that the authors of the me- morial be allowed to withdraw it. i Miscovich asked unanimous con- sent for Rep. Rays motion and there was not a whisper of objec- ton.
 Board Reorganization Eight of nine bills introduced in the House this morning had to do with recognizing Territorial boards and commissions by removing the governor from membership = as
 was suggested in the governors re- cent message to the Legislature. l The various bills were authored by Reps. McCutcheon, Conright Hope, Wells, Scavenius, Egan, Gun
 dersen, Metcalfe and Stepovich Two of them, almost identical, have
 to do with the Banking Board.

 CONTROLS
 SLAPPED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-4R-The Government slapped strict controls on livestock slaughtering today in an effort to forestall black mar kets in meat.
 The Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) issued an order bringing all livestock slaughter under a system of slaughter quotas"
 OPS Director Michael V. DiSalle said:
 We are determined to keep meat out of the black market, and to see that steaks, pork chops and roasts continue to be available in all sections of the country at a fair price. We believe this slaughter ing control is step in that direc- tion.
 The order will have the effect of limiting slaughterers to the same proportionate share of animals they killed in 1850.
 New slaughterers are banned from starting operations, unless they can show they are badly needed by the public.
 On another food front, DiSalle and Economic Stabilization Chief Eric Johnston were quoted as saying they will not recommend any change in the present parity protection for farmers after further study.
 That word came from Chairman Maybank CD, s. e. after Senate House watchdog committee on mob- ilization met in closed session with the price control chiefs.

DAY APPROVES FWS
 TRANSFER OF FLEET BASE TO JUNEAU

Transfer of the Fish and Wild life Service fleet base for vessels maintenance operations from Seat tie to Juneau was approved in Washington last week by Director Albert M. Day, it was announced today by Clarence Rhode, Regional Director who returned late yester- day afternoon from the capital, Transfer of the operation was rec commended by Rhode to the FWS Washington office several weeks ago.
 The transfer will bring the seven large craft and 30 small vessels presently operated by the Fish and Wildlife Service and one large craft to be built and five former Coast Guard 37-foot vessels to be con- verted, to be based permanently at Juneau. The base will be established at the Juneau support and offices for the maintenance division will also be set up at the port.
 Crews of the vessels and main tenance personnel will include about 40 employees, a number of whom have families, to make their homes in Juneau.
 Northbound in May
 Vessels now in Seattle for winter overhaul will leave that port for the last time in May for operation in Alaskan waters.
 At the conclusion of next sea- sons operations the fleet will put in to Juneau for the winter and crews will go to work on annual maintenance and overhaul work here.
 Small craft will be transported to and from the westward areas and Juneau by the freighter vessel Dennis Vim. The FWS operates a 50-ton electric crane at the support for raising and lowering small craft. Rhode said the transfer of the base headquarters will bring added business as well as residents to Juneau. Other towns in southeast Alaska will also be benefited.
 Local Contracts
 Contracts will be let locally by the FWS for marine work opera tions and some of the haul-out op- erations not involving major repairs and which have previously been carried on at the Seattle base will now be done in Ketchikan and Petersburg as well as Juneau.
 The FWS will let contracts Feb. IS for the construction Of a new 6O-foot vessel to replace the Auklet sold last fall, Rhode said. It is hoped to have the craft in service by July. Plans are also underway to replace the Scoter which was disposed of last year.
 Standard Equipment
 Inree ana pOSSlDly all i've OI the 38-foot former Coast Guard craft recently acquired by the FWS will be converted for year-round serv- ice to be put in operation this year.
 Deisel engines will be installed in the craft, as well as in all other vessels not yet so equipped. Rhode, while in Washington, made ar arrangements to obtain deisels from Navy surplus and other government sources. Standard equipment will be installed in all vessels to reduce maintenance and inventory costs in parts and tools

Ccnvietion of
 Remington Reversed

NEW YORK, Aug. 22-4R-Ihe U. s. Court of Appeals reversed to- day the conviction of William w. Remington, former government ec- onomist, on charges of perjury in denying he had ever been a member of the Communist Party.
 The courts decision, written by Chief Judge Thomas w. Swan, was unanimous. The case was returned to the District Court for new trial.
 Remington, 33year-old honor graduate of Dartmouth, was found guilty by a jury of seven women and five men last Feb. '. Federal Judge Gregory F. Noonan imposed the maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $2,000 fine.
 The reversal was based in large part on technical grounds. Judge Swan agreed with the defense that the definition of membership in the Communist Party, contained in the charge to the jury, was too vague and indefinite"

} Fiscal Bills Sent 10 Truman For Signature

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 - R - Senate passage today sent to the White House three of the big money pills needed to run the government in the fiscal year which began July 1.
 They were the $2,512 ,004,00 labor federal security bill, the $802 ,988, 900 agriculture bill and the S511 ,865, ,336 interior department bill.
 The three measures were the fourth, fifth and sixth money bills to go to President Truman's desk out of II which must be passed.
 Congress last week broke its log jam over the appropriations mea- sures by agreeing on formula to cut personnel in many government offices by as much as 10 percent.
 A compromise provides for 10 percent cuts in many offices by allowing the department head either to fire outright or use the method of not filling vacancies.

Washington Court Throws Siaie's Finances Info Chaos

OLYMPIA, Washington, Aug. p -tR-This states official func- tions operated on faith alone to- day, its finances paralyzed by a sweeping court decision that ob- liberated a revenue measure and the $680,000,O0O biennial budget.
 The door on the states cash register was slammed shut by the State Supreme Court with a rul- ing that a combination tax-ap- propriations bill enacted during a special sessicn of the legislature was unconstitutional.
 The corporation tax was intend ed to partially stop the steady drain on the states general fund, which was slipping some $8,0OOOOO into the red each month.
 The state has been operating for nearly five months on the $68O 100000 budget and had paid four months bills presumably to- taling over $110,000000.
 Warrants issued to make those payments are now invalid. NO further warrants can be issued. Only another special session, which Governor Langlie says he will call very soon, can validate the pay ments already made and provide a budget to permit various state functions to continue.
