Heintzleman Recommends Increase -Of 2 or } Cents Gallon In Gas Tax
 In Message to Senate-House Session
By JIM HUTCHINSON AP Legislative Correspondent

JUNEAU, LR--In his first mes sage to a territorial legislature, Governor Heintzleman today rec commended an increase of 2 or 3 cents a gallon in the gasoline tax and called upon the lawmakers to guard against allowing sectional ism ambitions and rivalries to divide us."
 The Republican governor, in his address to the House and Sen ate in joint session, covered a wide range of problems facing the territory. Generally he suggested the legislators "give considera- ton" to specific problems or pos sible solutions, but on the subject of raising funds for road con- struction he made direct and specific recommendations.
 Dwindling Employment Fund
 He described the dwindling em- plOyment security fund as lone of the gravest problems you will face" He referred to the shaping of budget within territorial in come-in which a 12 million dol lar gap is involved--as "the most important set of problems" He advised that he will submit promptly to the legislators new budget outline to help solve the problem of matching outgo and 1 income.
 In discussing the general condi- tion of the territory, the governor declared that Ion the whole Alas ka prospered during the past bi- ennium," with increasing popula- ton and industries, but the de pressed condition of the fishing industry stood out with other lesser setbacks on ''the dark side"
 More Air Service Advocated
 He advocated "all possible measures to see that air service is increased rather than curtailed" and for resumption of passenger snip service.
 In preface to his road fund recommendations, the governor cited mounting congressional crit icism because of relatively small participation by the territory in providing road construction and maintenance funds" The territor- ial gasoline tax is cents a gallon.
 Governors Recommendations
 These were his recommenda- tions on that subject:
 Increase the tax on motor fuel for highway use vehicles to or cents a gallon and scrutinize mo- tor vehicle license rates with view to bringing them into line with those of the states
 'FPlace all motor vehicle license revenues in the Highway Fund instead of the General Fund, where they go at present.
 Finance the operations of the Department of Police by appro- priations from the General Fund" A large share of the Territorial Police funds now come from high

Germany will not deal with Russia on unificufion

BONN (P) Chancellor Kon- rad Adenauer's government stood solidly today with the western allies on German re- unification policy, ruling out any ibilateral German-Russian negotiations on the subject.
 Foreign minister Heinrich Von Brentano made the gov ernment's first declaration in parliament on foreign policy since the Big Four foreign min isters' meeting in Geneva fail ed to resolve the problem of German unity.
 He told cheering members of the Bundestag, lower house of parliament, that the Ger man people are not prepared to strike any deal (with the Russians) jeopardizing their freedom"
 The foreign minister ack- nowledged the Moscow agree ment for West Germany and Russia to exchange diplomatic relations. But he added it was up to the Kremlin to make re- lations between the two peo- pies anything more than a technicality.
 "As long as the Soviet Un- ion proceeds on the assump- ton of the partition of Ger many and the existence of two German states" he declared, "there can be no normal rela- tions between our two coun- tries.'
 Won Brentano declared that Hthe fate of the German peo- Iple would be sealed if it tried to exchange the confidence and friendship of it's allies for the sympathy of the Soviet Union. Nor will the German people be induced by any threat or temptation to veer from this straight course"

the proponents of the unicam- eral structure. He told the as- sernbly that the traditional two-house system was an out growth of democracy's pro- gress against royal powers and declared that a bicameral set up in a modern democratic state was unreasonable and illogical"
 McNees explained that both houses are now elected 'fby the same people of the same class"
 There is no need" he said, ito give two blocks the same authority to do the same thing"
 He said unicameral form would offer greater efficiency better consideration of legis- latlOn, increased prestige in membership, closer relations between the governor and lawmakers, and elimination of inter-house rivalry. McNees added that one-house legis- lature would result in sub stantial savings" to taxpayers by cutting out double staffs.
 The only state operating ln- der the unicameral system is Nebraska.
 Delegate George D. Cooper of Fairbanks spoke in defense of the bicameral legislature. He said that system was pre- ferable because it makes pos sible the safeguard of checks and balances.

RudicuI-Sociuiists Vote 10 expel z FuUre from party

PARIS (P) Leaders of Pre- mier Edgar Faure's own party, the Radical-Socialists, voted to day to e0pel him from the party.
 | The vote by members of the party's steering committee, was 19 to i.
 The decision does not affect Faure's status as acting pre- mier nor his decision last night to dissolve the National As semb1y.
 The action by party leaders had been foreshadowed when the s'eering committee sum- moned him to explain his de- fiance of party policy in dissolv ing the assembly.
 The party session had been called by former premier Pier re Mendes- France, who has be- come Faure's bitter rival with in the Radical-Sovialist group.
 The steering committees de- cision is no+ immediately effec- tive. It must be submitted to the party's executive commit tee where a two-thirds major iy approval is required.

Conference calls
 for more teachers in public schools

WASHINGTON (P) The White House conference on education today called on the American public to remember there is a tremendous shortage of teachers who ''Work with our moss precious resource - our children"
 The calls for ttempts to get more teachers came on a day when the conference seemed almost certain to go strongly on record in favor of federal aid to schools. particularly for buildings.
 The report on teachers list ed three things in every com munity to keep in mind:
 1. Teaching must have pres tige comparable to other pro- fessions.
 2. The salaries must be high enough to keep teachers in the classroom and not permit them to be lured to other fields where the pay is better.
 3. The teachers job must

30 delegates talk on subject in 8 hour debute

FAIRBANKS (P) Members of the Alaska constitutional convention expressed a strong preference for a tWo-house leg islature in a 312 hour public session here last night.
 With 30 of 5 delegates speaking, a poll on that con troversial subject indicated a strong majority in favor of the territory's present ibicameral system. A few delegates were undecided and only four ex- pressed a strong preference for the one-house (unicameraI) legislature. However, there was no official vote.
 Four members of the audi ence were allowed 10 speak. The entire evening was spent discussing the topic. One del egate said the question had caused an uneasy ''undercur- rent" in the first weeks of the convention.
 The open airing of conflict ing views is believed to have cleared the way for further consideration of other matters before the convention.

Lewis duns CIO for money 'Ioaned" in early days

NEW YORK (P) The Ameri- can Federation of Labor gave Rinal approval today to merging with the CIO into a new 16 mil lion member single labor union federation.
 Approval was by a standing vote by shouting delegates at the AFL convention.
 A similar okay for the merg- er was expected later today or tomorrow at a separate conven ton of the Congress of Indust- rial Organizations (CIO)
 Completion of the merger will end a p year old split a. mong major American labor un ions.
 The AFL delegates gave sep arate approval to a new AFL- CTO constitution and three oth CT merger documents.
 AFL convention approval came after presidents of two AFL unions spoke about cer- tain objections they have to terms of the merger.
 Woodruff Randolph, presid- ent of the AFL International Typographical Union, said the merger vested too much power in AFI-CIO officers.
 A. Philip Randolph, presid- ent of the AFL Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, wanted more power for the AFL-CIO leadership to deal with unions practicing racial discrimination
 However, AFL president Geo rge Meany argued the merger, while imperfect, was the best arrangement that could be de- vised after long study.
 He denied AFL-ClO officers would have any greater powers than have been lodged in the AFN leadership.
 Earlier Meany said the rner- ger will enable organized labor to make a greater contribution to the well being and security of our nation"
 Former president Harry s. Truman. in a message to the CIO convention, expressed hope that labor would ''use good judgement in electing public officials"

 The CIO president said the combined AFL-CIO must not become merely a large econom ic pressure group but must use it's power in the interests of moral and social responsibility
 He hit out at communism, cor ruption and racial intolerance and said none of these had any place in the labor movement.
 The CIO ignored a dunning note from John L. Lewis for all legged past-due debts.
 Lewis, president of the In lied Mine Workers, an independ ent labor organization not a party to the prospective meng- CT, sent his payment demand on the eve of separate AF'L and CIO conventions called to rat- fly the amalgamation.
 AFL and CIO leaders unruf- fled by the Lewis move, sum moned delegates to the merger convention this morning.
 Lewis is a maverick in the union movement who in the past has been a leader in both the .AFL and CIO.
