Maggnuson Urges.
 Construction Coast Highway to Alaska
By FRANK ". vAILLE

WASHINGTON, R R-Construc- ton of a new highway to Alaska west of the. Rocky Mountains has been urged by Sen. MagnuSon of Washington.
 Such a route, coupled with ac- ces roads or cut-offs to Southeast Alaska ports, would serve as a stimulus for a permanent news print, industry and benefit pro- jected territorial aluminium pro- duction, he said.
 The senator said in a statement that he is preparing legislation to create an Alaska International Rail and Highway Commission to select the most direct and econ omical route for highway and railroad or either.
 He said lack of such facilities west of the Rocky Mountains is discriminatory against Pacific Coast states, 'deprives them of natural and historic markets, and is retardant to economic devel- opment and the national defense"
 Magnuson recalled he headed a similar commission III the Alaska International Highway Commis- sion - which recommended a highway to Alaska along the western or trench route. When the time came to build the highway, however, an inland route east of the Rockies was selected.
 Subsequent engineering studies have demonstrated, he said, that the trench route west of the mountains is logical route from the standpoint of costs, distance and terrain. Army engineers fla vored such a route in 1942, Mag nuson declared, while surveying for a possible railroad to Alaska.

Propose 25 pct. Exemption For
 Alaska Incomes

JUNEAU, R-Directors of the All Alaska Chamber of Com merce have proposed blanket 25 per cent exemption for Alaska in dividuals and businesses on all income earned in the territory.
 Another resolution opposed the McCarran Act insofar as it re- quires screening of -Alaskans trav- cling to the States. Others urged Congress to investigate maritime disputes and to enact legislation assuring uninterrupted shipping to and from Alaska, and endorsed the proposed aluminium plant project at Skagway.
 Directors voted to levy $1.50 a year on each member of each Chamber of Commerce and to charge $25 a year for associate memberships for Alaskans and $100 for outsiders. Associate members may attend meeting but cannot vote. The bylaws and con- stitution of the All-Alaska group will be sent to each member chamber for approval.

Rioting Convicts Defy Officials In
 Pennsylvania Pen

PITTSBURGH, R - Rioting convicts 1000 strong who set fire and wrecked havoc to big Western State Penitentiary today defied worried officials backed by the armed might of Pennsylvania.
 The cold and hungry convicts held four guards hostage - five were captured originally - and angrily shouted for prison re- forms.
 They smashed windows and taunted police who stood with rifles and submachine guns ready to now down any prisoner break ing from cell blocks.
 Col. c. M. Wilhelm, state police commissioner, arrived from liar risburg to direct 72 crack state troopers who moved into the pri- son yard. More than 400 other policemen ringed the prison and police cruiser in the nearby Ohio River trained it's machine guns on the penitentiary.
 Fire Chief Stephen Adley or dered several big bumpers to the prison so water pressure could be increased if officials decide to combat the convicts with fire hoses.
 Despite the ferocity of the riot which broke out early last night, not a shot was fired and not prisoner escaped in the nations first prison uprising of 1853.
 The convicts roamed through big cell blocks at will. After over towering guards they unlocked individual cells in the blocks.

 Our first job should be to achieve a balanced budget" ," Humphrey testified.
 Humphrey also said the present excess profits tax lis a bad law" and mot in the best interests of the country"
 He said he hoped his depart ment could come up with some better means than the excess pro- fits tax" to get needed revenues.

End 10 Discrimination
In Hospitals Asked

The District Branch Of the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
has asked "the elimination Of
racial discrimination or segre-
cation in any form" in hos
pitalS here.
DR.. w. Montague Cobb. chair
man of the Health Committee
of the associations local, said in
a letter to directors of District
hospitals:
Racial discrimination with
respect to hospitals is expressed
in many forms and occurs every
where in the country. In our
own city of Washington, it is
manifest in the exclusion of
Negro patients by some hospitals
and in the exclusion of Negro
physicians from stats by all
but one.
1--WE ask you to take inventory
Of the ways in which racial dis
elimination may be manifest
with respect to both patients
and professional personnel in
your institution and we ask you
to institute remedial measures.
Backing the move Of the
association is the Medico-
Chirurgical. Society, an organi-
zation of Negro physicians.
DR.. Edward c. Mazique, presi-
dent of the organization, said
our society wishes to announce
that it joins hands without quail
f1cation with this great lay Or
ganization in its present effort
for the common veal"

Trade Board Disputes
Home Rule Go-Ahead
By Supreme Court

The Washington Board Of
Trade today contended that the
Supreme Court has not given a
go-ahead for home rule in the
District.
In letter to Senator Barrett,
Republican. of Wyoming. who is
chairman of the Judiciary SUBJ
committee of the Senate District
Committee. E. F. Colladay. gen.
eral counsel of the Board of
Trade. declared the general in
depreciation of the courts rul-
ing was in error.
Opinion Cited.
In deciding the Thompson
Restaurant Case, the majority
opinion said:
"It would seem then that on
the analogy of the delegation
of powers Of self-government
and home rule both to munich
palities and to territories, there
is no constitutional barrier to
the delegation by Congress to
the District of Columbia of full
legislative power :"
Mr.. Colladay took exception
to the opinion of Chairman
Case of the Senate District Com
mittee, that the decision upheld
the right of Congress to delegate
powers to the District.
Held Not Binding.
Mr.. Colladay said the majority
opinion decided that a law pre-
venting discrimination against
Negroes in restaurants was held
valid and the comment on home
rule was an incidental opinion
and not legally binding" He
pointed out that the opinion used
the words would see." in re-
ferrlng to the home rule QueS-
ton. ...... ....
He added:
Thus the would seem
statements were 'obiter dicta'-
an incidental opinion and not
legally binding. The Supreme
Court in the Thompson Case de-
cided no more than that the
Acts of 1872 and 1873 were mu-
nicipal police regulations which
Congress could empower the
Legislative Assembly of the Dis
trict to enact"
The Board of Trade tradi-
tionally has supported national
representation for the District
but has opposed home rule bills
