 Status Urged For Alaska
By FRANK w. vAILLE

WASHINGTON, R-Rep. Pe1ly R-Wash) said today Alaska would fare much better under commonwealth status than actual statehood"
 Such a status. similar to that of Puerto Rico, he said in a state ment prepared for the House Ter ritories Subcommittee, would per init exemption from federal in come taxes and thereby encourage development of Alaskan resources.
 ''Then after an agreed period, industrialiZed and with an econ omy built up during the interval by tax incentives to attract in duStry, Alaska would eventually become a great and wealthy and self-sustaining state," Pelly de- clared.
 Except for such procedure, l am convinced she will be forced to over-tax private enterprise op- erating in her borders, and yet her resources will neither be properly exploited or properly conserved, which will result in unsound state management and continued vast federal expendi- lures"
 Pelly was the last witness scheduled for the House hearings on the Alaska statehood bill.

Ringling Circus Starts Season with New Ideas In Transportation of Acts

SARASOTA, Fla, R-The cir GUS took to the road yesterday but left behind are such familiar sights as the big top and the gaudy circus personnel trains.
 Instead, streamlined version of Ringing Bros. and Barnum & Bailey set its sights on New York and spring tour.
 Performers and workers are to travel on a regular passenger train. Only the animals are set ting out on the gaily painted cir GUS cars.
 Other circus folks already are on their way northward in pri- vate autos. Still others, particu- larly European performers, will join the circus in New York. Cir GUS equipment is being carried in trucks.
 John Ringing North, president of the circus, thought up the idea of new-styled circus after the show folded it's tent in mid-season in Pittsburgh last July.
 North's plan is to have the cir GUS play in coliseums, inside large buildings and at larger fairs
 The circus opens in Madison Square Garden April 3 for a 40. day run.

 Beck's suspension as an AFL- CIO vice president and council member is effective immediately, and until the outcome of charges being brought against him by the executive council
 The actions were announced by George Meany, AFL-CIO presi- dent, after a two-hour council meeting.
 Meany said Beck's suspension is effective immediately while the council considers charges against the teamsters' chief based on what he termed Beck's actions in bringing the labor movement into disrepute" and his failing to explain "the many charges against him" concerning use of teamster union funds before the Senate

AFL-CIO Suspend Beck as Officer;
 Will Launch Investigation of Union

Packets Investigating Committee.
 The AFL-CIO council di- rected that the labor organiza- tion's five-member Ethical Prac- tices Committee investigate the teamsters' union ''to determine whether or not the Teamsters' International Union is substan- tially dominated or controlled by corrupt influences"
 This latter investigation - sep arate from the investigation of Beck - could lead to custer of the teamsters from the fedora tion.
 The councils actions are prob ably the most drastic ever taken by organized labor in America against union leader of so high a position.
 It gave substance to the AFL- CIO assertions in recent months that it is ready to work with Congressional committees and other public bodies to clean every semblance of corruption from the 15-million member AFL-CIO.

Suez Canal Talks To Regulate Tolls Begun With U. S., Britain, France

by April 10, or a little earlier. In London, foreign office spokesman said last night the British government gave similar advice to British shippers two days ago.
 The Egyptian proposal, which has not yet been made public officially, is understood to call for collection of tolls by the Egyptian canal authority.
 Egypt would set aside 25 per cent of the tolls for maintenance and operation and 5 per cent to compensate stockholders of the old Suez Canal Go.
 Passage for All Ships
 Egypt also would reaffirm its commitment to an 1888 treaty guaranteeing free canal passage for all ships. Some provision is re- ported for appeals and arbitration procedures for any country which thought its shipping was being unfairly treated.
 The method of toll payment is one of the issues in controversy with Egypt now. The Western powers had wanted to pay the tolls to some neutral" agency like the World Bank or the United Nations. Under this plan, the neu- tral agency would hold 50 per cent of the toll money pending a final settlement of the canal question.

 An American reply is expected to be sent to Egypt in few days.
 Top officials who have been studying the Egyptian plan in tensively say privately they do not like it, but that they see no serious prospect now of winning Egyp- tian agreement to any counter proposal.
 However, it is yet to be decided whether the plan will be accepted or rejected or whether some modi- fioations will be sought to make it more palatable to~Western ship ping nations,

Scheduled Road Program for
 1857 Season in Nome District

3 Bureau of Public Roads District engineers and their assistants met in the Regional Office at Juneau last week for the annual conference At this time the com ing program was outlined, the Engineers brought up to date on new methods of procedure, and recent developments pertaining to highway maintenance and con- struction.
 "Mr. Dewey Goodrich, member of the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners, paved the way making it much easier to obtain approval of the Nome District proposed program" stated Frank Morris, district engineer, who at tended from Nome.
 This program includes the fol- lowing work:
 1. Construction of a grade from Nome to the end of the Kougarok Road.
 2. Erection of steel bridges across Bonanza Channel, replac- ing the ferry at Solomon, across the Grand Central River, across the Pilgrim River and across the Penny River.
 3. Routine maintenance is to be provided for existing roads and is to be extended to help the City where these roads pass through. Details of this work will have to be coordinated with the City.
 4. A survey is to be made of the Nome Teller Road that this route can be readied for construction the following season. | 5. Other surveys to be com pleted this summer are to Pilgrim Hot Springs, to the dock site at Boring, near Teller, and for re- mobilization of the Kougarok Road.
 6. Preliminary reconnaissance is to be accomplished for a road from Unalakleet to Kaltag and from Nome to Haycock.
 Execution of this program may prove somewhat difficult due to the shortage of qualified engin- eering and supervisory person nel. Those that we do have will be worked to their limit.
 It is anticipated that the first contract for surfacing the Nome Kougarok Road will be ready for advertising in about two weeks. This contract is now being held until the Washington, D. C., off cia1s can make a wage determi- nation.
 We plan to ask for small con- tracts to reinforce our mainten- ance work during the course of the coming summer. This will in clude some bridge painting, build ing painting, reinforcing speci- fled fills, some graveling, etc." stated Frank Morris, district pn Oinaar
