Joint Session Meeting Expected for Action on Egan'S Appointments

JUNEAU, LP1 - The Legislature may meet in another joint session before adjournment, to act on amendments to certain state po- sitions.
 Governor Egan told newsmen late Monday he may ask the law makers to act on some executive appointments before they end their duties until next January. They will represent his personal choices although made by acting Governor Wade, he said.
 They will probably include ap- point1nents to major posts at the head of the state departments created by the recently enacted reorganization law, Egan said. He did not indicate which ones they would be.
 Only one cabinet-level appoint ment has been made so far, that of Floyd Guertin as Commissioner of Administration.

TOKYO, R - Fifty-one Jap- anese fishermen returned from five months detention in Commu- mist China Tuesday in fishing boats plastered with pro-Commu- mist signs and slogans.
 The fishermen were cool to their welcoming families, and all praised the Peiping government. Signs on their four boats said:
 Foster friendship between Ja- pan and Communist China! Abro- gate the Japan-United States se- curity treaty! Down with the Kishi Cabinet! Protect Peacel"
 Chinese patrol boats captured the men off the Shantung Penin- sula last November.

Legislators In High g Gear, Nearing
 Session Deadline

JUNEAU, .LR - The first Alaska Legislature got into high gear Monday, speeded through bills and appeared headed for adjournment by it's target date Wednesday night.
 The big money bill, that is the last major piece of legislation awaiting passage before adjourn ment, whipped through the House and was introduced in the Senate.
 The measure calls for expendi- lures of 2713 million dollars in general fund revenue for the ifs cal year starting July - and covering Alaska's first full budget year under statehood. It was intro duced Sunday and cleared the House with only three amend ments.
 The changes amounted to net addition of $50,000 to the proposed budget, bringing the general fund outlay to $27, ,599,855.
 The only opposition vote to the budget bill came from Teller Democrat Robert Blodgett.
 Meanwhile, the Senate approved a $15O hourly minimum wage in Alaska and returned the bill to the House for acceptance of a minor amendment.
 The House earlier had approved the bill to lift the minimum from the present SIPS an hour. The change made by the Senate would exempt persons under 18 who work less than 20 hours week. The House version had exempted part-time employees of motion pie ture theaters and the Senate yer sion exempted any minor not working full-time.
 The bill also exempts farm workers, executives, salesmen, shrimp pickers, newspaper deliv- cry boys, baby sitters and domes- tic workers.
 The House also approved a bill which packers said would set up a ''Watered down version" of state public service commission. Under the measure, the P.S.C. would be only a study group at the start The Senate-approved bill was sent to the Governor without change

Mushing
 Through Washington
By FRANK w. VAILLE ZAP Special Washington Service,


 WASHINGTON, R - The De- fense Department apparently shudders at the vision of an Alas kan pointing finger at a nearby mountain pass and shouting, ''They went thataway."
 At least it wants an amend ment to the pending omnibus bill to prevent the use of military forces in Alaska in a posse. Such use is banned in the 48 other states by 1856 enactment which specifically exempts Alas ka from the prohibition. Although Defense thinks it may be improper to continue authority in Alaska while denying it in the other states, the Justice Depart ment thinks the provision ought to stay on the books. Justice m which would administer the pro vision - said it is applicable only for the enforcement of federal laws and on occasions when nor mai law enforcement machinery isn't available.
 The subject, connected in pop ular imanigation more with the old West than with Alaska, was one of several ideas proposed by the Defense Department during drafting of the Administrations s transition proposal.
 
 The National Science Founda- ton has outlined a one-million- dollar program in an appeal to the House Appropriations Committee for funds to finance a new Arctic research program covering fields not now being looked into by any other agency. Major item is a $45O,OO0 allowance for research in the upper atmosphere.
 Among the subjects mentioned were the effects of daylight and darkness on Arctic animals, exam ination of permafrost to deter mine it's basic physical properties and age, and rocket studies into the upper atmosphere.
 Although he did not specifically spell out how the work should be carried out, Dr. Allan T. Water man, foundation director, told the committee it would be conducted by educational institutions such as the University of Alaska al College.
 John F. Doyle, assistant U. S Attorney, pooh-poohed the conten- tion raised in the brief of Alaska fish trap interests that Secretary of the Interior Seaton's ban on traps was prompted by politics.
 He told District Judge John J Sirica that his reading on the sub ject indicated the view of Alas kans - whether held by Demo crats, Republicans, Tories, Whigs - or Dixiecrats, if there are any up there - was to get rid of those fish traps"
 Rep. Alfred E. Santange1o O- ND has asked Congress to make the 50-star flag official this July 4 irrespective of the date on which Hawaii is admitted into the unior as a state.
 Similar to the proposal made earlier by Sen. Henry Jackson O- Wash), the effect would be to make the 49-star flag required by Alas. ka's admission obsolete even be. fore it became official.
 In a letter to Rep. Emanue Celler O-NY), House Judiciary Committee chairman, Sen. Bot Bartlett opposed the idea or grounds Alaska should have it. hour of glory for this period ot one year"

Tax Relief
BY the Associated Press

A railroad spokesman has
told Congress that if the rail-
roads are given a fair chance
they not only will provide for
their own future but will give
America its greatest defense
bargain.
Daniel P. Loomis. president
Of the Association of American
Railroads, said the rail indus
try has been hurt badly by
what he called increasing Gov
eminent aid to rival forms Of
transportation.
Mr.. LOOMS and other rail in
dustry spokesman testified yes
terday before a House Armed
Services subcommittee which is
looking into the transportation
aspects Of mobilization. They
said the tax laws need to be
changed if the railroads are to
earn enough to overcome what
they termed critical shortages
in freight and passenger cars.
"JuSt what this country would
do to move people about in the
event of a future emergency"
said James M. Symes, president
of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
"iS beyond my comprehension.
IF the Government expects
the railroads to move them as

would have to ride in freight

Progress Seen
On Bond Rate
Compromise
BY LEE M. COIN
Star star Writer

Treasury Department off,
Gals said today they are max
ing progress on compromise
legislation to permit the Gov
eminent to raise interest rates
on bonds 1t sells.
They expressed confidence
that the House this year will
pass a bill removing statutory
ceilings on bond rates. When
that happens, these officials
said, the Senate probably will
concur.
Despite this optimism, there
is considerable doubt that the
Senate will grant President Eli
senhower's request for higher
interest rates-even If the
House accedes.
May be Political Issue
Many Democrats in both
chambers oppose high inter-
est rates and believe they can
make political hay with the is
sue. Senate Majority Leader
johnson this week omitted in
terest-rate legislation from his
priority list Of bills for enact
ment in 1859. A spokesman for
Senator johnson discounted the
significance Of this, however,
noting that the Senate must
wait for the House to act first
on this type Of legislation.
Treasury spokesman vehem-
emily denied reports that in
terest-rate legislation definite
ly will not get through the
Senate this year. 1--WE can't be-
lieve that the Senate will pay
no attention after the House
passes BILL" one official said.

which handles this type Of
legislation.
President Asks Action
President Eisenhower has
asked Congress to remove the
statutory ceilings limiting inter-
est on marketable bonds to AZ
per cent, and setting a maxi
mum rate of 1926 per cent on
savings bonds. Money markets
are such, he contends, that the
Treasury must pay higher rates
to sell its bonds. He maintains
it is inflationary for the
Treasury to rely solely on sales
of securities with maturitieS of
less than five years. There is
no interest ceiling on these
short-term securities.
Democratic critics dispute the
Presidents contentious, and
Furthermore blame the admin
iStration for boosting prevailing
interest rates. They warn that
higher rates on Government
bonds will increase the price

Nine Atlas SquadrOnS
The Pentagon has announced
plans for nine Atlas squadrons.
Congressional sources said the
bill adds $85 million as down
payment for eight more squad
rons.H
A squadron would fire nine
Aliases and hold one in re-
serve. Each missile is designed
to reach an enemy as far as
$500 miles away.
Conferees accepted a Sem
ate proposal boosting the Ma
tional Guard to 400, 900 men,
an increase of 10000. The bill
would provide $73 million to
reach this new total.
Also provided was almost
500 million to keep the Ma
rines and the Army Reserve at
levels higher than the Presi-
dent proposed. But the con-
fereeS declined to order the
boosts. If the administration
does not want to use the money
it does not have to.
The bills total figures for
the various services:
$685. 05,000 for the Army,
an increase Of $500 million
over the Presidents request;
$11 ,006,5O3,000 for the Navy
and the Marines, a cut of SOL
million; STATEHOOD 900 for the
Air Force, a cut Of 1894 million,
and $1,373,225,0 900 for the Office

New Action
On Obscene
Mail Asked
BY the Associated Press

The Post Office Department
has asked Congress to revise
the procedure for impounding
obscene mail. The American
Civil Liberties Union opposed
the proposed changes.
Their views were given yes
terday to a House Post ONCE
subcommittee considering a
bill to extend from 20 to As
days the period for which OBJ
scene mail may be ilmpounded.
1t also would authorize the
Postmaster General to issue an
impounding order if he believes
the public interest so requires.
The mailer would have to
prove that the Postmaster Gen.
eral acted arbitrarily or capri
ciously to contest the order.
Herbert B. Warburton. gen.
eral counsel Of the Post ONCE
Department, said Of the bill:
1--WE think the effect will be
a revitalized ability in the de-
partment to reduce the flow of
obScenity in the mails and to
reduce the number of fraudu-
lent schemes operating through
the mails at the time Of their
inception"
