COmmis Fee Raised

Washington (P) = The House last week shelved a bill to provide an additional fede- ral judge for the Third Judi cial Division.
 The bill, if it has passed, would have permitted Presi- dent Truman to appoint 23 new judges. The fight against the measure was along party lines.
 U. s. Commissioners in A. laska will not be able to re- tain $7, ,5OOa yearly compen- sation from fees collected un- der a bill approved this week by the House Interior and h. sular Affairs Committee.
 The measure, sponsored by Delegate E. L. Bartlett, would amend a law passed four years ago which raised the ceiling from $3,000 to S5, ,OOO. The bill would affect five U. S. Commissioners in the Territory at the present time since only that number collect fees in excess of 5000.

 Directors for the coming year are George, president,
 Ben Kraft, vice president, Marshall Crutcher, secretary treasurer. Jorgen Fredrickson and Jess M. Blinn, directors. George plans negoti ations with the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation for a loan with which to finish the plant. If the REC is willing to lend some money but not enough to complete the plant with a
 capacity of 5 million pounds
 he intends to change the de- lsign of the plant.
 Original plans calls for a three story plant. If only enough money is available for two stories the design shall be changed with sufficient strength to accomodate a third
 story addition later.
 He pointed out that the cold
 storage company would have
 to acquire title to it's property
 from the City of Kodiak be-
 fore it can execute a mortgage
 to REC or any bond buyer.
 The stockholders gave a un-
 animous vote of confidence in
 the management.
 Later in the evening, George, and local stockholders appeared before the city coun- cil to request title to the site of the Company's plant at the { city dock. George stated that $25, ,OOO has now been paid in
 rentals and that the company
 must acquire it's site to
 qualify for any kind of a loan
 or bond issue.
 He also asked the city coun- cil to extend the incentive of exemption from property taxes for a period of years which he said is contained in the original contract.
 The council indicated it would give attention to the matter. George left Tuesday via PNA for Anchorage.

Armistice Deadlock
BY the Associated Press

MUNSAN. Korea. April "a
Truce negotiators twice recessed
secret talks today, indicating they
wre studying a new proposal to
break the deadlock on how to ex-
change prisoners of war.
Before the session began Com
munist newsmen spread the word
that a new development was in
the offing. They gave no hint
as to what it might be. Their re-
marks suggested, however. that
the Reds had new plan for end
ing the stalemate.
In the past, recesses have been
called to study new proposals for
settling disputes.
/ No News of Progress.
Today the staff officers recessed
first for Is minutes; then, Is
minutes later, each group met
separately for an hour and a
quarter.
AS usual, there was no official
announcement of what happened
at the 67-minute meeting. BY
agreement, no news has been re-
leased on what happened in
prisoner exchange talks for a
month.
There has been no report as to
whether progress has been made
toward settling the key issues
voluntary repatriation. The Reds
want all prisoners returned. The
United Nations command says it
will repatriate no one against his
will.
The indications of q new de-
velopment followed reports from
both Washington and Peiping
expressing pessimism over the
chances OF reaching an armistice.
$4,000 POWs Transferred.
Meanwhile, the 9th Army re-
ported that at least $4,000 pris-

D. {. Artists Group
Asks Corcoran Gallery
To Screen Out Reds

The Washington Water Color
Club has asked the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art to submit names of
jurors for its annual area art
show to the House Committee on
Un-American Activities.
The club, which, together with
nine other local art groups was
to meet today with gallery Of
f1cials to plan next falls area art
exhibition and nominate jurors,
made public a letter to Gallery
Director Hermann w. Williams,
jr. The letter protests having
jurors with Communist affiliations
and asks the gallery to take the
responsibility of screening them.
Mr.. Williams said the gallery
would assume that responsibility.
He said several other art organi-
cations had made similar re-
quests.
The local art clubs make the
nominations for jurors and they
are selected by majority vote of
the groups in their meeting at
the Corcoran.
Charged by DOnderO.
The furor over getting Com
munistS as judges arose from a
charge made by Representative
Dondero, Republican, of Michigan
in a House speech last month.
Mr.. Dondero said museums and
galleries have been made the
dupeS of a cultural fifth column,
a chain of Red-instigated artists
organizations designed to control
art and artists in the United
States" He focused attention on
the Corcoran by saying that the
gallery had had two Communist
affiliated jurors for its recent.area
show. He named Philip Evergood
and Chain Gross.
Mr. Williams said at that time
that the two artists had been
chosen by the art clubs and that
he knew nothing of their political
beliefs.
