WASHINGTON, R-Committee preferences of Alaska's first vot- ing Congressional delegation cover nearly every phase of the 49th State economy.
 Whether Alaska's newcomers get their wishes won't be known until organization of the House and Senate is completed after the Beth Congress convenes January 7. But here's what they want:
 Senator-elect E. l.. Bob) Bart lett, who sat as voteles member of various House committees while serving IA years as Alaska's dele gate, hopes to wind up on the Senate Commerce Committee headed by Senator Warren C.. Magnuson O-Wash). It handles legislation dealing with shipping, airlines, fisheries and communi- cations - all pertinent to Alaska.
 His colleague, Ernest Gruening. wants to go on the Senate Interior and Tor Public Works Committees. Alaskans are familiar with Inter ior's role in legislation concerning Statehood for the Territory, pub lie lands, Indians, National Parks, forests and reclamation, and with that of public works in recom- mending highway, river and har- Dor projects.

tativeelect Ralph J. Rivers seeks a spot on the coveted Armed Serv- ices Committee with Interior as a second or alternative choice.
 The actual assignments in both the House and Senate will be made by a committee on committees, subject to confirmation by the Democratic caucuseS.
 Meanwhile, the Alaskan trio is occupied with various housekeep- ing chores in anticipation of the sessions start less than two weeks away. Rivers, who arrived in Washington early this week with his wife, Martha. after cross country drive from Seattle, ex- poets his principal aide, Charles w. Hughes of Ketchikan, over the weekend. George Sundborg, Alas ka newspaperman who will be Gruening's administrative aide, also is expected about the same time.
 Gruening also has hired Frances Veach and Herb Beaser, both aides to former Senator Herbert H. Lehman O-NY), as secretary and legislative assistant respect ively. Beaser most recently has been with Representative Edith Green R-Ore):

HOUSE SPEAKER WIELDS IMPORTANT POLITICAL POWERS

When the 86th Congress con- venes on January 7th, Sam Ray burn will take up the gavel he has wielded for a record-breaking IS years as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
 The Texas Democrat has held the post almost twice as long as any other speaker. But two Re- publicans gave the speakership the power that has caused some experts to rank it as the second most important office in the nation.
 Henry Clay was the first to turn the office to political advan- tage. The speaker was simply an impartial moderator before Clay's election in 1911.
 However, the speakership was transformed into a political tool almost as powerful as the presi- dency by Thomas Reed and 'EUncle Joe" Cannon.
 In 1890, Reed cracked down on the delaying tactics of minority groups by counting all members present as quorum - number sufficient to conduct business - even if they did not vote.
 The move earned Reed the nickname "Czar,' but the Su- preme Court later upheld the rule
 Reeds methods were only the starting point for Joseph Cannon, who ruled the House like a die tator in the early 190O's.
 Once, after putting a question for a voice vote, Uncle Joe" de- clared, "The eyes make the most noise but the hayes have it'
 Even some members of Can non's party rebelled. In 1910, on St. Patrick's Day, a coalition of Democrats and about 30 Repub- licans set out to strip Cannon of much of his power
 Because of the "St. Patrick's Day Revolution" Sam Rayburn has little of the formal authority which Reed and Cannon dele gated to themselves.
 He still has the important speakers eye" or the power of recognizing members who wish to speak on the floor.
 But most of his strength comes from an informal source II the party discipline he can maintain as leader of the majority party in the House.

After penicillin came success sion of "broad-spectrum" anti biotics, drugs which are effective against much greater number of organisms than penicillin. Right now, night and day, the laboratories of our pharmaceu- tical companies are spendir 2 millions of dollars on research, looking for even better antibio- tics. The day may not be far off when these efforts will produce an antibiotic drug which will conquer diseases that now are incurable. Maybe even cancer.
 While the antibiotics are po- tent and useful chemical agents, many people have the impression that they are a cure-all for every i'll. This is far from the truth. Because they are so potent, anti biotics should never be taken ex- cept upon the advice of physi- clan. Not only " l he determine whether or not you need an anti biotic, but he will also know which one.

or dOllarS III meQlcal DlllS.
 Diseases which today are stopped in a matter of hours or days with an antibiotic drug, once took weeks of medical atten- ton and bed rest. An example is pneumonia. Prior to the antibio- tics, this illness usually confined the victim to bed for at least three weeks. Today, with the use of antibiotics and proper care, the pneumonia patient can be up and around in a week. This is only one example.
 Other dreaddiseases of yester- day have fallen before the anti biotics: scarlet fever, syphilis, gonorrhea, "blood poisoning, and more than a hundred other human and animal ills.
 What is an antibiotic? Non- technically, it is a chemical sub- stance, produced by fermenta- tion process from living organ isms, which will attack many in- fectlouS organisms. It IS a battle of microbe against microbe. The organisms which produce the an- tibiotic substance are found plen- tifully in the soil.
 The first antibiotic, known lat CT as penicillin, was first ob- served by Sir Alexander Elem ing in his laboratory in 1929. But it was not until ten years later that Dr. Howard Florey, looking for substances more useful than the new sulfa drugs, conducted studies which proved the impor- tance of Dr. Fleming's earlier discovery and resulted in penicillin.
 The dramatic story of how oenicillin was brought from Eng land to the United States at the beginning of World War II for commercial production is we'll slnoWn.

Henley of Cumberland-one of the
authors of the law curbing "going
out of business" sales-will be
back. But his automobile dealer
partner from Fayetteville, Wilson
Marlborough, was beaten.
Nevertheless, N. c. Automobile
Dealers Association President Joe
A. Watkins of Oxford is returning
as representative from Granville
County. He recently announced
new offices of his organization an
nounced in this column about six
weeks ago. He is an outstanding
Legislator.
Although North Carolina re-
CARDS itself as one of the most
industrious" states in the South,
we only had five manufacturers in
the 1857 Legislature and lost one
of them: w. w. Wall of Marion,
beaten in an attempt to return.
Most outstanding manufacturer in
the Legislature is H. Cloyd Phil
pott, Governor Hodges faithful
friend of Lexington.
PLANTER From away up
in Yancey County came to the
House for the first time last year
one Harlon Holcombe, Democrat
and proud of it. His business is in
Burnsville.
If nothing happens-in that No
vember tussle, that is-he will be
returning.
Holcombe does not list himself
as farmer. He is merely a plant
er-and the only man on either
side of the Legislature listing HIM
self simply as Undertaken.
He finished at a School of EN-
balming, class of 1885, is an elder
in the Presbyterian Church, is a
veteran of World War II.

LOT OF LAW Except IN
fewer than a dozen very close
counties, we now know a full SIN
months in advance of its conven-
ing the personnel of the 1859 Leg
islature.
So. YOU don't have to wait in
North Carolina until after the for
malities of a general election in
November to talk cold turkey with
the men who will be in Raleigh
next year representing you.
And, now is the time to begin
discussing important issues with
your legislator-notl later, when ne
will have little time for talk.
For instance, if you don't want
new States taxes-if you don't
feel you can pay three per cent
more for your food, as illustration
saw so now. Don't wait until next
February when budgeteers may
decide that is the only way to
'.keep our schools going.
Oh, the tricks that have been
pulled in North Carolina politics
within the past 25 years under the
guise of Improving our school
svstem.'' Another one is said to
be in preparation. Watch for it.
In looking over the list of men
who will compose the 1859 Legis-
lature-of men and women, rather
we find that about 70 are attor-
news. When you realize that we
have a total of only ITO people in
the General Assembly-120 in the
House and so in the State Senate
you can see how attorneys DOM
mate the scene.
In the 1857 Legislature, the
next largest number was listed
occupationally as farmers" Most
of them were of the absentee
variety.
FARMERS, TOO. Among those
listed as farmers last time was the
erudite, smooth, and very urban j..
Spencer Bell, who recently won out
in the Nellie-bar-the-door fracas
in Mecklenburg County. Senator
Bell also classed himself as an at
torney. He seems to be more of
the latter.
Roy Rowe of Burgaw, theatre
owner, also put himself down as
farmer. But he looks more like an
old fading matinee idol than like a
farmer-and is one of the most
popular men ever to serve in the
State Senate.
CAVITY For a long while
for five regular terms, to be eY-
active had one dentist in the

Jones of Farmville. Everybody will
miss his friendly, easy manner and

only representative.

County, we lose Insurance Man

real veterans of the House is a
man of unusual occupation: F. l..

headed Gobble has served in every

Income Tax Hints
for
Noble Countiuns

Did you receive any benefits
for accident or sickness, or were
your wages continued for the
period that you were off work
because of sickness or accident?
If so, the amount you received
because of accident or sickness,
if received from an insurance
company where you paid the
premiums either directly or
through payroll deductions, is
not taxable income. The amount
you received because of accident
or sickness where your employer
paid the premiums to the inSur-
ance company, or where your
employer himself paid your
wages while you were off sick
is not taxable income up to the
first S100 per week you received
after the first seven days you
were off. If you were in a hos
pital for any day while you were
off sick, then no part of the
amount you received, under S10O
per week, is taxable. II you were
off because of personal injuries,
then the seven-day waiting per-
iod does not apply.
If you have received over $l00
Ger week, the excess over $10O
per week is taxable income to
you, but only if you did not pay
the premiums to the insurance
company, or if your employer
is simply continuing your wages.
If you paid the premiums on
the insurance yourself directly,
or by having them withheld from
your paychecks, then no part
of any amounts that you receive
as sickness or accident benefits
are taxable income.
If you receive medical expense
reimbursement, then you can
not deduct as medical expenses
the bills that were reimbursed.
If you deducted medical bills
in prior year, and this year
receive reimbursement for them,
then you should include in your
income the reimbursement, but
only if the deduction in a prior
year gave you a tax benefit.
Where your W. slip includes
payments to you which are not
taxable because they are benefits
for sickness or accident, or are
wages paid while you were off
work due to sickness or accident,
as above, you enter the total
amount of your wages on line
five of the tax return.
Then deduct the tax free
amount on line 6(b).
Be sure to attach detailed
statement to your tax return
showing how you figured this

Gasoline Tax Money
Is Being Distributed

Totallng S2,o52, lH5, the trSt
1858 distribution of gasoline tax
money to cities and villages will
be made this week by State
Auditor James A. Rhodes.
1t will come in the nick Of
time for many municipalities
which had to scrape the bottom
of their street and maintenance
funds in December to meet year
end payrolls and bills.
This weeks distribution is the
first full one that cities and vii
lages have had since November.
To help many municipalities IN
need of street funds, Rhodes
made a partial distribution in
mid December with the gas tax
money that was available at the
time in the municipal fund
Rhodes also announced that
the regular monthly distribution
of gas tax money to counties and
townships will mean $4,000 for
Noble county and $400 for each
township. This money is also
going out this week.
