prerogative to amend the act
instead of scrapping it. He
offered 16 amendments, of
which two were designed to
meet criticisms made during
the campaign by President
Eisenhower.
The two changes growing
out of Gen. Eisenhower'S re-
marks were:
To eliminate a provision for
bidding strikers from voting in
plant elections on which union
should represent the workers.
president Eisenhower, as a
candidate, said this clause
might have "union-buSting"
aspects. AS amended, the law
would give thes discharged
workers and their successors
equal rights to vote in such
electionS.)
To require management as
well as labor representatives to
take on-Communist oaths.
(The presidential candidate
had objected to the present
provision for oaths by labor
representatives only as an
example of lack Of equal treat
ment under the law)
From labor's point of view,
there was little in the Taft
amendments to make the
hated labor act more desirable.
The IA other changes were
largely technical in nature,
and most of them were new
versions of old amendments
that Senator Taft had tried
to get enacted in past Con-
crosses.

Relief Rolls Again

Welfare officials, as might

Their attitude generally is
that sufficient check now is

Aid To Dependent Children Payment To Be Cut To S72

This month, all people receiving an Aid to Dependent Children grant were notified by the Depart ment of Public Welfare that in September their assistance will be reduced by 20 percent.
 ''It is unfortunate" said Henry A. Harmon, director of the de- partment," that it is necessary to make this reduction" He ex- plained that the amount of money appropriated by the legislature for this kind of assistance fell far short of the departments request, and that to carry the program on for the remainder of the biennium the reduction was necessary.
 The Aid to Dependent Children program was established in the territory in June, 1945. It was de- signed, primarily, to help children remain in their own homes, and with someone who was respon- sible for them. It was thought that financial need should not be reason for a child to leave his home or his relatives. There are legal requirements for receiving help under this program, and while there has been criticism of some of the adults to whom pay ment was made, it should be noted that at no time have the children for whom this program was de- signed been thought to have no right to financial aid.
 What the reduction in payment really means is that a mother and two children, who had been bare ly managing on the maximum al- lowed by law of $90, now will re- ceive SIP. It means, too, that some 2200 or more Alaskan children will receive help inadequate to meet their basic requirements of food, clothing and shelter.

Government Agencies, Universities
 Pool Efforts In Scientific Studies
 Of Katmai National Monument

} WASHINGTON, R- Five gov ernment agencies and several state universities are cooperating in a study of volcanic and seismic forces at Katmai National Monu- ment, scene of recent volcanic eruptions on the Alaska Peninsula
 The studies were undertaken prior to recent eruptions of Fri dent Volcano and Mt Spur. Their objective is to appraise the gener- al geology of the area and changes occurring as a result of volcanic activity.
 Katmai National Monument, the largest area in the national park system, consists of nearly 2,700,- 900 acres. It was established in 1918, six years after violent eruption of Mt. Katmai, to pre- serve scientific and historic values for later study and use.
 Secretary of Interior Mckay said Saturday Investigations now being conducted by 15 scientists were made possible only through pooling of the resources of five government agencies.
 Anticipating that the research will produce information of mili- tary as well as scientific impor- tance, the Office of Naval Re search in cooperation with the Army Corps of Engineers is pro- viding helicopter and other trans portation services for the expedi- ton, and the Army Quartermaster Generals Office is providing a wide variety of equipment and supplies.
 The geological survey, which is making major part of the sci entific studies, provided funds and equipment The Public Health Service also furnished equipment and is participating in the re- search.
 The National Park Service, which administers the monument, is in overall charge of the investi- gation. Robert s. Lutney of the Park Service staff heads the ex- petition.
 In the investigation, observa- tions are being made in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, which came into existence at the time of the 1912 eruption. Attention al- so is being devoted to the lands bordering the lakes and rivers of the monument and along the coast in an effort to measure rates of change in surface conditions and changes in plant and animal life
 The extent and kinds of human use of the area prior to the 1912 eruption are also being studied, as well as changes in the character of the forests, animal diseases communicable to man, and evil dences of climatic changes.
 The work is being carried out from several field camps, through the use of arplanes, helicopters and folding boats.

Further surgery is planned to
complete the skin cover for Rod

Congress Proclaims
Eisenhower Elected
In Historical Ritual
BY the Assoeicied Press

The new 83d Congress for
mally proclaimed to an unsur-
prised world yesterday that Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower has won
the right to be inaugurated "a
President of the United States.
In a ceremony described by
some critics as a throwback to
the horse e-and-buggy days, the
lawmakers also declared Richard
NJ. Nixon of California to be
Vice President-elect.
Four Tellers in Ceremony.
Re-enacting an age-old his
torical drama. the legislators met
in joint session in the House
chamber and listened as four
tellers solemnly tolled OF the
State-by-State tally of Electoral
College votes for the two high.
est Offices in the land.
The official count confirmed
that the Republican ticket of
Gen. Eisenhower and Senator
Nixon won the November 4
election over the Democratic
team of Gov. Stevenson Of
Illinois and Senator Sparkman
of Alabama.
The score, in electoral votes
was 442 to SO.
Meanwhile, Senator Smathers,
Democrat, of Florida introduced
a bill in the Senate aimed at
abolishing the Electoral College
as presently set up. Z
Under current law, all. Of q
States electoral votes go to the
candidate who wins a majority
of the States popular vote. The
electoral votes are proportioned
among the States according to
the number of each States Sen
ators and Representatives in
Congress.
Senator Smathers said his bill
would divide the electoral votes
In the same ratio as the States
popular vote was split.
Other Plans Suggested.
The Florida Senator's propo-
sal would require an amendment
to the Constitution. as would two
other changes he suggested:
/. Nationwide primaries to
replace the present convention
method of nominating major
party candidates for President
and Vice President.
2 A provision that a Vice
President taking over after the
death of a President would
serve only until the next gen.
eral election, instead of the re-
mainder of the full four-year
term. Thus a Vice President
succeeding to the White House
would serve no more than two
years.
