EMPLOYMENT LOAN BILL FINALE TO 22ND LEGISLATURE

JUNEAU -LR- The House and Senate approved a free conference committee report on the bill auth orizing a loan from the Territorial general fund to replenish the em : ty unemployment fund, paving the way for the scheduled end of the special session today. It has been sent to the Governor.
 Originally, the bill sought a mil- lion dollar loan, but the joint com mittee raised the figure to two mill ion in order to carry the fund un- til the expected passage by Con- gress of legislation authorizing a federal loan.
 Legislators today also acted on several minor measures. Amons them was the introduction and passage by both houses of bil setting up a presidential preferent ial primary. The bill was introduc- ed by Rep. Greuel of Fairbanks who said it perhaps would encour- ige presidential candidates to visit Alaska during their campaigns and put Alaska in the national spot light
 The House failed to override the Governors veto of a measure that would have exempted heavy COL struction equipment from the mo tor vehicle license tax.
 Although the two million loan measure passed the House by a % to one vote, several Democrats sev- erely criticized the measure. Speak CT Wendell Kay voted against it The Democrats charged the Gov ernor solicited U S. Attorney Gen. eral Brownells opinion which stated the Organic Act prevents the Territory from borrowing funds. They said Brownelrs opinion was designed to support the Governors stated position that he was against borrowing federal funds for the employment security fund until the Legislature enacte suitable bill which would provil a method of repayment.
