PinbaII Payoffs Bill Withdrawn

Juneau (R)-A bill which would have permitted reimbursement for unredeemed plays on pinball ma chimes was withdrawn by one of its two sponsors yesterday.
 The bill, which would have legal ized payoffs on pinball machines, was sponsored by Senator Al Owen of Kodiak and Senator George Me Nabb of Fairbanks. McNabb with drew his sponsorship of the bill after delivering blast at Anchor age Attorney Verne O. Martin, who is actively seeking the Republican nomination for Governor. Martin, in paid political ads in newspapers, assailed the pinball measure as a move towards legalized gambling in the state.
 Before withdrawing the bill, Me Nabb read portions of Martins ad- vertisement which apeared in the Ketchikan Daily News Monday. Nc Nabb told legislators that the ad was a crude political move.

Ten free round trip tickets from Kodiak to Seattle, good at any time during the Century 21 Worlds Fair, opening in April, will be awarded some lucky persons in Ko- diak during the King Crab Festival, Ray Martin, chairman of the Queen contest, announced today.
 The decision to give tickets in- stead of other prizes was made at a first meeting of the Festival com mittee, called Saturday by Ed Naughton, general chairman.
 With all the interest in what promises to be an outstanding Worlds Fair," Chairman Naughton said, i've feel these tickets will have wide appeal. To make it more interesting we are going to give two prizes of two tickets each, and six prizes of one ticket each. As the Fair runs from April to Octo- Der we feel most people will use the tickets, but if some of the win ners should be unable to they may exchange them for full cash value. {"
 The tickets will be given in con-

Along The Waterfront

Many people might have seen the big oil tanker that came into Kodiak Saturday morning, going to the Union Oil dock. This was the Santa Maria, owned by the Pacific Coast Transportation Go.
 The interesting bit of informa- tion about this tanker is that it will go to Kikiski, on the Kenai Penin- sula, where it will load crude oil from the oil fields there. From there it will proceed to the Stand ard Oil Company plant at Anacor- tes, Wash. That's what happens to our Alaskan oil.

The cold storage plant is now being picketed by the carpenters Union, due to a wage dispute be- tween Allied Construction and local carpenters.
 According to Alaska Ice and Cold Storage president, Alfred w. White, in a letter to the Mirror, the carpenters working for Allied Construction have primarily two grievances. One involved the pay ment to Health and Welfare Funds; the other involved pre- mium pay for a man operating the power saw.
 According to White, a two-man committee appointed by the Car penters' Union met with Allied Constructions superintendent and reached an agreement for the set clement of the issues. "This agree ment was to be voted on by the membership at a meeting to be held Monday evening, Feb. 18th, with full expectation of the men returning to work on the morning of the 18th. For some unknown reason the men did not return to work on Tuesday morning"
 White continued by stating the Company has a moral obligation to the residents of Kodiak and a con- tractual obligation to the City to complete the plant at the earliest possible date. They are now oper- ating with some local and outside personnel. "We sincerely trust" !" White continued, "that by the time a larger crew is needed the local carpenters will have found basis for agreement with Allied Con- struction and will have returned to work. It is the expressed pol icy of the contractors on this job, as we'll as this company, to employ as many qualified local residents as possible"
 White further stated: We very much regret this current unfortun- ate condition and trust that in the not too distant future these prob 1ems can be resolved and this job can again go forward at full speed. We hope that everyone, both directly and indirectly in- volved, will place his current prob

Eyewitness, Pilot Account of
 Crash Conflicts

The inquiry conducted here Wednesday of this week by the Civil Aeronautics Board to deter mine the cause of the accident in volving a Kodiak Airways plane at Old Harbor, Dec 24, 1861, brought out conflicting testimony from eye witness and passenger testimony and that of the pilot.
 The inquiry was held in the Courtroom in the Donnelley build ing, and was conducted by MT. Da- vid Beardsley, of Washington, DC, who was assisted by MT. John R. Hafer, Supervisory Air Safety In vestigator, Bureau of Safety, Civil Aeronautics Board, Anchorage.
 Testimony of a witness as ob- server and of passenger, were en- tered into the proceedings, as well as testimony from the pilot in. volved, also pilot of the Airways, maintenance foreman, owner of the Airways, Bob Hall, and an in- vestigator for CAB.
 The accident which resulted in the death of Emil Kahutak, a ten year-old boy, one of the four pass engers who were aboard, occurred at Old Harbor the day before Christmas last year The plane in volved was a Gruman Goose CHA.
 Charley PeStrikoff, an eyewit- ness of the accident, stated in his testimony that he observed the plane takeoff, come back down and again take off. He said he saw the plane bank to the right and then nose-dive from an estimated alti- tude of 400-feet. He said the wealth CT was good and the water calm. Barbara E. Innes, a passenger at the time, testified in a signed state ment that the plane descended after takeoff and hit the water with such force that she was raised from her seat. The plane immediately ascended, she said, and shortly after nosed down and crashed.

Chamber Endorses, Opposes Several Measures Before State Legislators

The Chamber of Commerce went on record as endorsing a number of bills up for consideration in the State Legislature now in session.
 Four of the measures, HB238, HB239, HB2O7, and SB131, were brought before the group by City Manager Bill Poland, who asked the Chamber to endorse them. He said they would be of value to the City and also individuals.
 The Chamber session, presided over by Ed Naughton, vice-presi- dent, in the absence of the presi- dent, Chuck Powell, was held at the Town Club Thursday noon.
 HB238, an act relating to state established exemptions from local government taxes, and provides for the removal of exemptions in local government boundaries. The C. of c. endorsed this bill.
 HB239, an act relating to the transfer to first class cities of state lands within the boundaries of cities. This act refers to surplus state lands, or lands not being used or anticipated to be used in the near future. This bill was endorsed.
 HB207. This is an act relating to the regulation of junk yards, and prohibits the opening of a junk yard on any locality without a cer- tificate of approval. Following a brief verbal parrying between the City Manager and Emil Knudsen, the Chamber endorsed the bill.
 Poland also asked Chamber en- dorsement of SB181, an act which provides for the state turning portion of the funds collected from the aviation fuel tax, to municipal ities where the tax is collected. The present law provides only for fuel tax collected at airports, thus elim- mating Kodiak from receiving a portion of the tax.
 This bill, which was introduced by Sen. Owen in the second session of the second legislature, also re- ceived the endorsement of Cham Der members present.
 The Chamber also went on rec ord as opposing SB199 and HB209 which in effect would put the state in the insurance business. It re- lates to the Workman's Compensa- ton Fund.

Catholics View of the President
The President has antag-

The President has antag-
onized many citizens of the
Catholic persuasion because
he has said fatty that Fed
eral aid to Catholic schools
cannot be justified under the
Constitution. Yet, under the
administration of Protestant
Presidents in the past, Con-
greSs has enacted laws that
allow Federal funds to be
used for the construction of
dormitories and laboratories
in Catholic colleges and for
the payment of tuition of
war veterans and scholar
ships for students who wish
to attend Catholic operated
institutions.
Perhaps the most striking
statement on the subject that
has yet been made by any
legal authority comes in an
exhaustive analysis of all the
decisions of the Supreme
Court of the United States
throughout its history touch
ing on the powers of the
States and the Federal Gov
eminent as they relate to ed
ucation in religious and nom
religious schools. 1t was writ
ten by Philip B. Kurland,
professor of law at the Uni
versity of Chicago, and was
published recently in the I'M
iverSity'S law review. He says
that the question of whether
the national Government
"can contribute financially to
parochial education, directly
or indirectly" is a continu-
ing one. He concludes as fol-
lows:
Anyone suggesting that
the answer to the question,
as a matter of constitutional
law, is clear one way or the
other is either deluding or
deluded."
So the issue is bound to
be discussed in the next cam
paign, and it may be added
that, because so many of the
members of Congress now are
finding it a hot political is
sue back home. there is lit
tie likelihood that for a long
time to come any broad meas
ure of Federal aid to educa-
ton will be passed.
