In The Legislature
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, R-Another attempt to revive the bill for a special election referendum on statehood or commonwealth status died in the Senate yesterday afternoon as both branches kept hard at work
 Reports from the committee room where the House Senate conference committee on employ ment security legislation has been hard at work were that definite progress has been made toward a compromise on the bill.
 Budget-framing lawmakers are also putting finishing touches on the general appropriations bill, which is reported around the 31 million dollar level, but still sub ject to cutting if new revenues are not provided.
 However, there appeared 10 be increasing doubts whether the Senate would agree to any fur ther tax measures, which Demo- crats said would mean sure curtailing of the budget for sev- eral departments and institutions.
 A highlight of the Sunday ses- sion was Senate passage of a bill to provide $561, ,OOO for aid to hospitals and health centers in territory.
 Other bills approved by the Senate, all of which had previous ly won House approval, included:
 An act to outlaw the diStribu- tion of so-called comic books of the horror and over-sexy type.
 A bill to create an Alaska Safety Council. The governor would appoint the council from the field of territorial, federal Or city officials directly concerned with problems of highways and safety. It also could include pub lie members.
 The Senate also joined the House Tn approving a memorial asking Congress to amend the Organic Act to allow the legisla- ture to meet every year, instead of every two years.
 The House had proposed 6O- day session every year. The Senate amended it to propose a 3O-day session in the years be- tween the regular sessions, after arguments that a session every two years just is not enough any more to handle the increasingly complex territorial affairs.

Alaska Basketball Champs Plane
 Blown To Seattle

SEATTLE, lR - An III WlnQ blew Alaska's high school cham pionship basketball team right into Seattle last night.
 Their "detour" celebration trip will also keep them away from home two days longer than ex- pected. Instead of flying back to Juneau today, they planned to re- main here and return home to- morrow.
 The jubilant Juneau Crimson Bears, fresh from winning the title in double overtime victory at Anchorage Saturday night, 41-39, left Anchorage Sunday morning by plane.
 At Juneau, territorial Governor Heintzleman, the mayor and the whole town was ready with a rousing welcome. But a 5O-mile blizzard, with snow, was also blowing.
 So over Southeastern Alaska Pacific Northern Airlines pilot Dave Schirmer just decided to keep right on going south.
 The detouring plane set down here at pm. and the team pour ed out, hoisting a cheer leader, Susan Blanton, to their shoulders and greeting an impromptu ''wel- coming committee" with "When do we eat?" and Lets challenge Garfield Seattle and Washington State high school champion)
 Coach Bill Ordway settled that shortly.
 One" Ordway said grimly, there's a rule about post-season games Two, our superintendent of schools is along, in case you've forgotten He might have some thing to say about your classes tomorrow"
 Tagging spirits were raised when a Pacific Northern Airlines official informed the team, and the other detoured passengers, they would be guests at a down. town hotel.
 The Juneau ski team also came in for the welcome, too, although they had come off second best in their match with the Anchorage school. Coach Pete Bibb sniffed the chill wind appreciatively and said:
 Good ski weather"
 When they arrive back in Ju- neau there should still be a cele- bration for the athletes who won a championship and then flew up- wards of 1,500 miles out of their way to celebrate

Democrats In Legislature Reject
 2 of Heintzleman's Appointments

JUNEAU, H1 - "A DemOCrdLlC legislative leader said today his party's liaison committee plans to confer with Gov. Heintzleman about replacements for the big batch of appointments rejected by the legislature Saturday night.
 This is how the Republican gov ernor's 76 appointments to terri torial posts fared in the hour long session:
 Confirmed, A. Rejected, g. De- ferred, 10, of whom five are de partment heads.
 Much of the voting was on party lines. At the outset Repub- lican speakers protested against some of the rejections, but after a few futile complaints they gave up and accepted the inevitable.
 The Democratic axe fell most heavily on the Territorial Police Commission. All three of the members were rejected on straight party line voting, g Democrats to ' Republicans.
 The rejected Police Commission trio were former Sen. E. B. Col lins of Fairbanks, J.S. MacKinnon ST. of Juneau and William B. Healy of Anchorage.
 The Police Commission vote brought a brief political flareup in which Charles Jones, 8O-year- old senator from Nome, walked out of the chamber after the re- jection of Collins, with whom he had served in the first territorial legislature in 1913.
 He stalked out when, after sev- eral time consuming rollcaflS, Rep. Stanley McCutcheon moved to expedite matters by suspend ing the rules, emitting the roll calls and recording in the journal that all Republicans voted for confirmation and all Democrats against
 OO1lOS PlOLCoLOO do LlN WdlhGA angrily out that ''if we don't even have a rollcall, there's no use of staying here"
 On the appointments on which the Democrats were agreed, the action was taken quickly by un- animous consent without rollcalls.
 Aside from the Police Commits sion, the boards which suffered the heaviest casualties were the Board of Road Commissioners, the Board for the Care of Sick and Disabled Fishermen and the University Board of Regents.
 The Democrats vetoed three out of four appointees to the Board of Road Commissioners. They were Ben Young of Nome, Harold Strandberg of Anchorage and Maurice Johnson of Fairbanks.

once, veterans Administration
Nearly $4,000 Washington area
veterans have found GI home
loans the key to home owner
ship during the first 10 years of
the Veterans Administration loan
guaranty program.
These veterans have borrowed
nearly $605 million from private
lending institutions to finance
their purchases of both new and
existing homes.
And with the current surge in
housing that began locally over
a year ago, the ranks of young
home owners are being Swelled.
Activity Increases
CT home loan activity, ap-
prasial requests and loan appli-
cations have tripled during the
first three months of the year.
compared with 1854.
AS result, VA doesn't expect
any letup locally in the sale of
both new and existing homes
during the next few months.
The Washington VA Office re-
ceived appraisal requests for
3,619 proposed and existing
homes during March, which
made it one of the biggest
months in history.
The total for the first three
months of 1855 was 1871, as
compared to 2.917 during the
first three months Of 1854.
AS for home loan applications,
VA received 966 during March,
a drop of 135 under February,
but more than 80 per cent above
the 500 received in March, 1854.
Double the Number
During the first three months
Of 1855. VA received 3,275 home
loan applications compared with
1.181 during the first quarter of
1854.
During the first three months
of 1855, 3.505 veterans closed CT
home loans, compared with
7.349 during the entire year of
1854.
If the loan closings continue
at the current rate, 1855 will
probably see an all-time high in
CT home loans in the Washing
ton area.
AS for the future, if the supply
of CT money holds up, we ex-
pect the demand for CT loans
to continue at a high level up
to July 25. 1857, the CT dead
line for World War IL veterans.
In addition, Korean conflict

To $1,000 in Area

veterans are applying for GI
loans in increasing numbers
even though they have another
10 years in which to make use
of the CT loan benefits.
Buy New Homes
OF the nearly 5000 veterans
in the Washington area who
found 1854 a good year in which
to purchase homes. 1912 pur-
chased new homes while 2,124
were able to buy existing homes
in established communities.
AS the supply of money be-
came easier during 1854, so did
the terms on which banks, saw
ings and loan associations, in
surance companies, and mort
gage brokers lent money.
During the first six months
of 1854, 10 per cent Of the vet
erans who bought new homes
did not have to make a down
payment. This increased to
1927 per cent during the last
half of the year.
AS for existing homes, 1872
per cent of the veterans who
bought homes with GI loans
during the first six months Of
1854 did so with no down pay
ments. This high percentage,
however. was based on only $50
loans closed. During the last
half of 1854, no down payment
loans on existing homes leveled
off at about "a per cent.
Ninety-three per cent of the
loans closed in the last half OF
1854 were Is to 30 years loans.
Problems Cited
However, the increase in Gl
loan business since February
1854 has not been without prob
lens. VA locally has taken sew
eral steps to meet the unpre-
cedented demand for CT home
loans. Among them are:
/. VA has added Is more en-
ployees to the loan guaranty

ess appraisals and loan apphca-
tons with O minimum Of inter-
ruption.
We are asking veterans, build
ers and others associated with
the GI loan program to keep
their inquiries to the local office
to a minimum.
Urged Not to Phone
Most questions by veterans
can be answered by lenders or
builders. Veterans and real es-
tate brokers are urged not to
telephone the local Office asking
for the status of appraisal or
loan applications.
Recently, there has been a
lot of discussion, pro and con, of
the desirability of little or no
down payment and long, repay
ment periods.
We would like to point out
that veterans are unexcelled as
credit risks. VA has paid claims
on only 64 home loans, or about
