Joint Alaska Legislature Session
 Turns Down 36 Names Nominated By Acting Governor for Territorial Posts

neyg and the Commissioner of Agriculture, James w. Wilson of Palmer. The action on the nomi- nation of Mckinney confirmed him in his powerful Territorial position and in the post he has held since June 24, 1855. The new term for the Commissioner of Az riculture runs until March 31, 1861.
 But the Democrats, holding a 1-te-5 majority in the Senate and 21-to-3 edge in the House, de clined to confirm w. A. Chipper- field of Anchorage to a new term as Commissioner of Land.
 disappointment Refused
 The joint session also refused to confirm Mrs. Emily Boucher of Nome to an interim appointment on the Board of Library Service and also refused to confirm her for new term to March 30, 1961 1 The Territorial Tax Commis- sioner-Karl F. Dewey of Juneau also was scheduled to be con- fir1ned at the joint session. But the 53-year-old Republican off cial was stricken by heart at tack Sunday, and a letter from Hendrickson was read in the House chambers during the joint session.
 In his letter, Hendrickson ad- vised the Senate and the House he was withdrawing the name of Dewey at this time because of his health. But he said he was reserv- ing the right to renominate Dew ey to continue in the position at later date. Dewey's term is scheduled to expire at about the same time as the 23rd Legislature is supposed to wind up it's 60-day session in March.
 "Shoplifter" Bill Passes House
 Prior to the joint session, the House passed unanimously a so- called "shoplifter bll," written by Rep. Robert Ziegler O-Ketchi- kan). Under the terms of the bill merchants would be relieved from liability which might result from requests to examine pack ages carried by customers. The bill would permit store employees to ask patrons to keep all items of merchandise in plain view.
 The "shoplifter bill" now goes to the Senate. It has been intro duced in the House at the request of the Juneau and Ketchikan Chambers of Commerce.
 One of the bills introduced in the House late in the day was a 22-page document proposing two major changes in Alaska's alco- holic beverage control laws. The bill is supported by the Legis- lative Council and was introduced by the speaker of the House Richard Greuel of Fairbanks, and by the House floor leader, Burke Riley of Haines.
 The bill would create advisory boards in each of the Territory's four judicial divisions and would

Absenteeism has decreased this

increased in the elementary grades.
1t appears that the respiratory dis
eases which have cut attendance
last week to low of sixty-three
per cent are now taking a heavy
toll among the younger children.
High school attendance has now
risen to ninety per cent but the
elementary school attendance has
dropped to a new low of seventy
three per cent. This is just a re-
verse of the situation last week
