WASHINGTON ta = A Senate group has urged the administra- tion to weed out seriously over staffed" defense agencies.

WASHINGTON tR = The na- tion's 228 Roman Catholic bishops have declared that moral prin- ciples are on the decline in the United States and that popular education "bears measure of responsibility.
 They urged rebuilding of a sound religious and moral foun- dation, saying the hour of great est opportunity is striking now as the forces of freedom and tyranny gird for decision.
 The prelates, in a 3,000-word statement issued Saturday at the close of their meeting, deplored what they called widespread evil dence of moral decline.
 In reference to education, the report said: ssAt first there was no intention of excluding either religion or morality from the com mon tax-supported school. But the diversity of our religious pat- tern and the rising pressure of seculnrism have produced the school without religion. ii

Cavels Bang In Both House and Senate :. 1901 State Legislature Adjourns

tive approval of executive re- quests that state workers be given employment security coverage and for prediction registration of voters in the heavily populated election districts.
 Labor was the big loser in the session just ended. Not one major piece of labor legislation was passed. Lewis Dischner, lobbyist for the Alaska Council of Team sters, and Henry Hedberg, lobby ist for the State Federation of Labor, put 1t simply:
 "The first session of the second State Legislature of Alaska ac- complished nothing for the work ing people of the state.'
 The Legislature did propel the state into the ferry business, ap- proving a bill implementing the sale of $23 million in general ob- ligation bonds to establish a ferry system to serve Southeast Alaska and Kodiak Island.
 And the 1861 session turned its back on two years of legislative delay and provided for the estab- lishment of a borough system of local government, as directed in the State Constitution.
 Republicans fought the tax in- creases to the bitter end, but, with a 22-18 advantage in the House and a 13-7 margin in the Senate, the Democrats pushed the tax program through despite Re publican delaying tactics.
 Sen. John McNess, in one of the final speeches of the session, told the Senate:
 ''It is wise that we are provid ing now for the financial prob lens which we will face in fiscal 1863. If we didn't take the step we are taking now, we would face compounded taxes next year. I am proud of the Democratic party for facing up to the financial problems of the state in this man. ner."
 And soft-spoken Sen. Jack Weise R-BetheD took the floor as he rarely did and answered:
 This tax program is the most moral tax program in the history of Alaska, if it weren't for one gimmick.
 By the cigarette tax we in- duce people to stop smoking. By the liquor tax we induce them to stop drinking. By the motor ve- hicle license fee increase and the highway gas tax boost we induce them to stop motoring.
 "NoW, after they have saved all that money, here's the gim- mick; We take it all away by up- ping the income tax"

JUNEAU lR - The second State Legislature called it quits for another year early Thursday, after okaying the largest budget in Alaska's history and boosting taxes by $3.6 million year.
 The 74-day session faded into history at 2:08 a. m. when House Speaker Warren Taylor banged the gavel to send the House into adjournment until Jan. 22, 1862.
 The Senate had adjourned 20 minutes earlier, when Senate President Frank Peratrovich rap ped his gavel for the last time this year.
 The general appropriations bill for fiscal 1862, as finally approved by the House and the Senate, call ed for state expenditures of $56,- 734,000 during the period from next July l until June 30, 1862.
 Of that amount, approximately $52,094,000 will come from gen. eral fund revenues, federal tranSi- tional grants and surplus funds and $3,640,000 will come from new taxes added by the 1861 ses- sion.
 The Democratic leadership of the '61 session formulated and pushed through, during the clos ing days, tax program calling for increases in the cigarette tax, the liquor taxes, motor vehicle license fees, highway gasoline taxes and the state individual net income tax.
 In surprise, last-minute amendment to the income tax boost, the Legislature wrote in an applicable date of Jan. 1, 1861. That means that income received during the current calendar year will be subject to the increase.
 The Democrats said the tax boosts were necessary to head off a financial crisis expected during fiscal 1863, when the state will drop federal transitional grants and federal highway construction and maintenance monies.
 Various estimates have placed the difference between income and outgo during the fiscal 1863, based on the cost of maintaining present state services at their cur rent level, between $10 and $15.5 million.
 Gov. Egan, in his budget mes sage to the Legislature three days before it adjourned, said the state would be facing $15.5 financial problem in fiscal 1863.
 Salary increases for teachers will take a $975, 1000 bite out of the fiscal 1862 budget, with fed eral and local funds swelling the salary boost for teachers to some $1.5 million.
 A spokesman for the Alaska Education Assn, Nicholas Begich, said the organization was "elated' with the increase the teachers re- ceived "but we agree with every member of the Joint Finance Com mittee that this salary increase is only a stop gap measure"
 Egan was a. top-heavy winner in getting most of the program he had requested. He did fail to get requested increases in the weekly employment security bene- fit amount and weekly employ ment security benefit period.
 He also failed to win legisla-
