No Bond Issue Ever voied for City
 Hall; Says Mayor

Due to some confusion among voters, Mayor Waino Hendrickson today clarified a misunderstanding that a bond issue had been voted on for the construction of a city hall.
 On April 29, 1948 at special election 251 voters approved, and 99 disapproved, of a bond issue for $125,00 for the construction of a combined. fire hall and jail, Hen drickson explained.
 At that time it was planned to build on the city property by the old city hall. The only bid received was $50,000 more than the estimate. It was planned to make a new call for bids. Meantime the Territory started negotiations to purchase the city property as site for the new Alaska Office Building, which is now in the process of construc- ton.
 Any further action on the build ing of the fire hall and jail was held up until the city acquired a site at Seward Street and Marine Way where the new fire station is now being completed. Ff
 Present plans call for the city hall to be built adjoining the fire station, HendrickSon said.

Fairbanks 10 Get More pairoInlen From Petition

As a result of a petition signed by 693 residents of Fairbanks Frank Metcalf, highway engineer has authorized the appointment of two additional highway patrolmen in the Fairbanks area. The petition, which included sig natures of many of the interior city's foremost citizens, asked for highway patrolmen, and also more city policemen, because of "increas- ed population, crime, and traffic violations within the Fairbanks pre- cinct."
 Metcalf has written letters saying that because of the situation, he is glad to try to obtain additional help for the area. He points out, however, that the budget of his department is very limited, surviv- ing, as it does, on a 2-cents a gal lon gasoline levy.
 Metcalf says that the average state gasoline tax is about 6 cents a gallon. He points out that the con- struction and maintenance of roads floats and docks must all be paid for out of the funds collected from the 2-cents tax as well as the Highway Patrol.

WASHINGTON, Dec. - tR = Abraham Teitelbaum, wealthy Chi
 cago attorney, told House tax in-
 yestigators today he was approached
 last winter by two men who told
 him he was going to have some
 income tax troubles" unless he paid
 about $50O000 to aid him. Teitelbaum said the approach
 was made by Burt K. Nastor and
 Frank Nathan in Miami Beach, Fla. Teitelbaum said he was told there
 was "a clique in Washington" com-
 prised of Charles Oliphant, Jess
 Larson, a MT. Nunan, "and another
 man who just resigned as internal revenue commissioner, MT. Schoeneman-a combine formed for the purpose of looking around the
 country to see who are soft touches, or words to that effect" Teitelbaum added:
 CaudIe Mentioned And MT. Nastor mentioned the name of Theron Lamar Caudle, too"
 The attorney quoted Nastor and
 Nathan as saying they could make 1t easy for me-"
 Teitelbaum did not identify the members of the so-called Wash ington clique by official position. The chief counsel of the Internal Revenue Bureau is Charles Olip- 1ant. The head of the General Services Administration is Jess Larson. A former head of the In- sernal Revenue service is George J. Schoeneman. He resigned earlier his year. His predecessor was Joseph Nunam.
 Teitelbaum testified before the House Ways and Means subcommit- tee which is Investigating tax fraud prosecutions in the Justice Depart ment. For the last two weeks, these hearings have centered around T

 Of Leaking Grand Jury information

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 - R - Peyton Ford, former deputy attor- ney general, testified today he presumed" T. Lamar Caudle was leaking" grand jury information on an Alabama tax fraud case to a Congressman in 1850.
 That was the reason, Ford said, why he arranged for the informa- tion to bypass" Caudle's office even though Caudle was assistant attorney general in charge of tax fraud cases.
 Ford did not immediately name the Congressman. However, he was called before a House investi- gating committee for follow up tes- timony to the story related by John Mitchell. a Justice Department prosecutor, yesterday. Mitchell said that Caudle and Rep. Frank Boykin (D-Ala) took an "unusuaP' interest in the case of the Gulf Coast To- bacco Co.,, Mobile, accused of un- derstating 1942-44 income by sev- eral hundred thousand dollars.
 Ford resigned as deputy attorney general last September and is now in private law practice ill Wash ington.
 President Truman forced Caudle' s resignation last month with the ex- planation that Caudle's outside activities" were incompatible with his official duties.

 By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Behind Defense Mobilizer Wilson's sudden trip to Key West was not only tagging pro- duction but the possibility that most major civilian manufacturing, such as automobiles, may have to close down in 1852
 For the inside fact is that the government might have to go on an all-out war footing, with the manufacture of autos, refrigerators, TV sets, etc, banned entirely.
 The choice of planes vs. autos was laid down by Manly Fleisch- mann, the nations fortnight pro- duction chief, at a recent secret meeting of defense agency heads. "If the production of consumer durable goods is reduced more than an additional ten percent, it will be necessary to convert entirely to defense" he warned bluntly. This would mean abandonment of the basic concept of maintaining sub stantial level of production of con-

Al Killed |As Volcano .Efupfs

MANILA, Dec. 4-tR-Hibok Hib- ok volcano in the central Philip pines erupted today, killing at least Al villagers.
 Rescue workers, clawing frantic ally in smoking ashes which covered half dozen settlements, expressed fear the casualty toll would reach several hundred.
 The Red Cross reported the toll and said the figure was growing hourly.
 Scores of Filipinos burned by red hot ash or streams of lava were treated at makeshift hospitals set up on Camiguin Island.
 The volcano blew it's top like an atomic explosion. It spread layer of thick ash over half dozen sec- tons, crossroads, clusters of farm houses. It's still smoking.
 The Philippines weather bureau seismologist said the ashes and noxious fumes limited rescuers to working on the outer fringes of the district. Red Cross representatives appealed for plasma and other medical aid.
 A U. s. Air Force amphibian plane will leave early Wednesday with needed supplies and several doctors. A. U. s. Navy seaplane will follow with Red Cross workers and more supplies.
 Land planes cannot reach the is- land directly. The nearest air base is 40 miles away on Mindanao Is- land.

Chance for ApW Funds Now Good; Bartlett Says

meeting Tuesday noon at the Bar anof Hotel. There was almost a perfect attendance record, in addi- tion to II guests.
 Bartlett outlined some of the events and the problems that come up in a day in the life of Alaska's delegate to Congress. He reported
 that prospects at the moment seem- ed good for the Alaska Public Works
 to get its funds for carrying on the
 Alaska public works program. Of the $70,000,000 allotted to the
 program, only $l6,0O0,0o0 has been
 made available to date, he said. A few of the difficulties of non- voting delegate were brought out by Bartlett such as the pressure of time against Congress sitting as a sort of "city council" to act on AL aska's problems, no representation in the Senate to handle bills that finally reach that body, and the tangle of early western homestead laws that do not fit the Alaska sit uation.
 Volume of Correspondence
 Alaskas delegate told of the vol
 ume of correspondence that faced
 him each morning, 10 o'clock com
 mittee meetings, luncheons, calls on
 officials. He paid tribute to his two Alaska born assistants, Mary Lee Council and Marjorie Godding- Smith.
 He said that following the visits
 of Congressional members ts AL
 aska, good deal of correspondence from Alaska was directed to those
 members which he said. helps, but
 the members can't spend too much time on Alaska since they have
 national legislation to consider. To
 me the most apparent solution is statehood
 Because 90 percent of the most
 important legislation for Alaska
 goes through the committee on Ter
 ritorial and Insular Affairs. Bart
 lett explained that he attended those committee meetings. Territor-
 ial delegates are assigned to com nittees on Armed Forces, Agricul- | ture and Interior. In addition Bart lett serves on the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee-all with out vote.
