House Rescinds
Bill In Conflict
With Organic Act

JUNEAU, Up - Because of an
apparent conflict with Alaska's
Organic Act, the territorial House
did a quick about-face Tuesday
on bill it adopted Monday to
give legislators immunity to- any
calls into court as litigants or at
torneys during legislative ses-
sion.
The House rescinded passage
and pulled the bill back for study
by the judiciary committee.
The Organic Act, which is the
basic law under which Congress
set up the territorial government,
provides the legislature can not
pass legislation infringing ON the
authority~of district courts, which
are federal.
A bill was introduced in the
Senate to set license fees for non
resident fishermen at $40. Resi-
dent fees are S., and the previous
law provided for a $50 fee by
non-residents.
The federal courts have held,
however, the difference is so
great as to constitute illegal dis
elimination. Sen. Elton Engstrom
R-JuneaD introduced the $40
proposal, which he said was de-
signed to meet with court ap-
prevail and still set a higher fee
for non-residents.
Other measures introduced in

dent and Congress by Rep. Waino
Hendrickson R-JuneaW asking

ances against shipping tieups.

Propose
$2,OOO,OOO Sawmill
In Southern Alaska

VANCOUVER, BE-, Pros
poets are bright, for a 100000
Japanese financed sawmil1 in
southern Alaska with a $5O,OO0,-
900 pulp mill as long range
possibility, members of a Japa-
nese mission reported here yester-
day.
The eight japanese came here
after a tour Of Alaska's Tongass
Forest reserve. They represent
Japan's biggest pulp and lumber
industries.
British Columbia mills looked
''big" to the Japanese during a
tour of greater Vancouver mills.
''Too big for the japanese" said
spokesman Takuji Oshima, who
was impressed with the "big" ma
chimes in the plants here.
In his country, he said, it took
five men to do the work accom-
plished by one man and machine
here.
''Critics who talk of cheap labor
competition from Japan forget
that we must keep people en-
ployed in an overcrowded coun-
try" he said. ''The production
costs per unit are just as high or
higher than those of factories in
Canada"
Alaska, he added, looked like
the best bet for a sawmill. The
mill would be financed by Japa-
nese timber interests, but would
be stated by Americans.
High labor costs in Alaska are
one of the biggest problems" said
Oshirna. ''It would disappear if
the US. permitted import of Jap
anese loggers to Alaska, but of
course such a move is prohibited"

Will Tell Longshore Union
To Purge Itself of Rackets
Or Get Out of The AFL

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, R-The
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor Tuesday was
determined to- ord er its crime
infested Longshoremen's Union to
purge itself of waterfront rackets
or get out Of the ALL.
This "either-or" edict was not
quite ready for public announce
ment but there was little doubt
that angered council members
meant business.
Some top AFL officials ex-
pressed doubt privately whether
Joseph P. Ryan, Longeshoremen's
president, would be able to
cleanse the New York and Jersey
waterfront of scandals and gang
ster tactics attributed to some. Of
ficials of his 10000 man union
before the annual ALL conven-
ton next fall.
And in New York, an insurgent
group Of 1ongshore leaders made
it plain they would not be salts
fled with any ''phony reform pro-
gram by present bosses Of
the International Longshoremen's
Association.
The insurgents said in a tele-
gram to George Meany, ALL
president, that "the present dis
credited lila leadership" could
not be relied ON to clean up
waterfront corruption. At the
same time they offered to turn
over additional information on
the dock situation to New York
investigators.

Repeal Of Alaska
Property Tax Law
Ia Committee

JUNEAU, Up Legislation for
repeal Of Alaska's four-year-
General Property Tax law took its
first forward stride in the Sen
ate Tuesday.
Sen. Elton Engstrom, chairman
of the taxation committee, said
it is being referred to the judici-
airy committee for study on how
to attach provision for refuding
approximately 100000 collected
by the territory in property taxes
before the law became involved
in the courts.
Eventual passage of the bill is
viewed as certainty despite Gov
ernor Gruening's admonition
against repeal in his message to
the legislature. Eleven senators
sponsoring the bill constitute
bare two-thirds majority needed
to override any veto.
The overwhelmingly Republi-
can House is expected to pass
repeater in just about the time it
would take to say Gov. Gruen-
ing doesn't like it."
Another Senate committee re-
commended taking out what the
sponsor had described as teeth in
a bill against marring scenic high
ways with advertising signs. The
Gorsuch bill would include poll
teal advertising in the present
law against commercial signs and
increase the minimum penalty to
$3.50 from the present $50.
He contended the present pen
atty hasn't done the job of stop
ping erection of signs and heavier
fines might be the deterrent.
Action is still pending in the
Senate on a House-approved mea-
sure for session expenses of $751;
$40, an increase Of $4,000 includ-
ing an increase in living expenses
for legislators to $40 a day from
the present SIS.

St. Lawrence Dogs To Be
Guaranteed. To Prevent
Spread Parasitic Disease

JUNEAU, R-U.S. and Alaska
health authorities plan to quar-
antine all dogs on st. Lawrence
Island as the first step to stamp
out an obscure parasitic disease to-
which man is susceptible 1t is
already known to have caused one
human death.
DR.. Edward Bloomquist, head of
the Arctic Health Research Cen
ter at Anchorage, met with health
officials in Juneau this week to
discuss plans to combat it.
DR.. Bloomquist said the disease
is transmitted to dogs by voles,
mouselike rodent, which the
dogs eat.
He explained the malady enters
a human body in its larval stage,
forming cysts which burst and
spread toxin and other cyst-pro-

House Passes Bill Providing For
Popular Election Major Political
Party Committeeman In Alaska
BY JAMES HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, pa bill for popu-
lar election of major political
party committeeman sailed quick
ly Monday through the House,
where it often has run onto the
rocks of party politics in the past.
1t went through so smoothly
on a 21-2 vote that no one even
took time to label it an "anti-
White" bill, as legislators support
ing reasonable facsimiles of it in
past sessions of the Alaska leg
islature have done.
The measure aims at under
mining the strong influence Of AL
bert White of Juneau, who long
has been key figure in Repub-
lican party machinery while car
rying the title of general counsel
of the Central Committee.
House Republicans held a eau
Gus beforehand Monday, then
barreled the bill through the Sec
ond and third readings within an
hour under suspension Of the
rules.
The bill was introduced by
Miss Dorothy Prior, Anchorage
Republican, and it now goes to
the Senate.
It provides for election of pre-
cinct and national committeeman
and committeewomen. Voting on
them on separate ballots would be
restricted to voters declaring their
party affiliation.
Votes against the bill Monday
were cast by Rep. Wendell Kay,
Anchorage Democrat, and Rep.
Richard Greuel, Fairbanks DEM
ocrat.
Greuel said he favored the bill
but voted against it in protest
against the rush with which it
was put through. Kay argued that
it should only provide for election
of precinct committeeman, but
after the party then organized on
a popular basis the party organ
ization should choose the top
bracket national committeeman
and committeeWOman
Rep. Julian Hurley, Fairbanks
Republican, argued that Kay's

he was named by the Republican
Central Committee as it's first
choice for Governor of Alaska,
said Tuesday he favors the ap-
pointment of Bob De Almond of

ode Almond has always been a

Reeve declared.
He said De Almonds advice is

Breakdown Is Threatened
In Cattle Disease Fight
BY the Assoe'ased Press

A breakdown in joint United
States-Mexican efforts to wipe
out a recent outbreak of foot
and-mouth disease among cattle
In Mexico was threatened today.
Agriculture Department off,
cials confirmed reports that diff
ferences had arisen between the
two governments, but they de-
clined to discuss the situation in
detail because. they said. they
still were hopeful that a Coop
erative program could be re-es-
tablished.
The differences arose largely
over an American contention
that the only way to eliminate
the highly contagious and de-
structive disease is to slaughter
infected and exposed animals.
Mexican officials have ordered
that there be no slaughtering,
They argue that vaccination Is
enough.
The new outbreak was diScov-
cred near Vera Cruz. Mexico, last
May %. The United States bor-
der was closed again and a Joint
United States-MeXican commits
sion went to work to clean it up
using the slaughter-vaccination
approach. But the Mexican
Minister of Agriculture quickly
ordered a stop to the slaughter
phase of the program.
