Tempers Flare in Senate Over Bill
Providing Expenditure of Mere $637.10
JUNEAU UP) — An appropria- I
tions bill providing for the ex- |
penditure of a mere $637.10 stirred i
I up one of the hottest displays
i of tempers to date in the Senate
Thursday. The $637.10 would be
paid to Albert Munson of Kenai
for expenses incurred in 1956 dur
ing the fall meeting of the old
1 Territorial Fisheries Board, which
j refused to seat Munson even
j though he was gubernatorial ap
! pointee.
Sens. Howard Pollock, Lester
Bronson and A1 Owen became em
I broiled in the Senate scrap.
Pollock speaking for passage
I of the bill, told the upper cham
! ber “it has been disgraceful that
, Mr. Munson has not been paid
j this sum, to which he is entitled.
“It is disgraceful that past legis
latures have seen fit to let this
go this long.”
Bronson jumped to his feet and
! objected to Pollock’s statement
i on the grounds that “he had no
right to impugn past legislatures.”
Senate President Frank Pera
trovich ruled in favor of Pol

LITTLE BIT OF GREEN . . .
WINDFALL, Ind. dP> — Jimmy
Rainey, 7, persuaded his mother
to tint his hair green for St. Pat
rick’s Day, but his principal won’t
j let him come to school.
Principal Harold Wright is
j afraid Jimmy’s presence may lead
to a whole school full of green
; haired pupils.
Jimmy ean’t return until the
l green food coloring has faded
| from his hair.
j SUBSCRIBE TO THE NUGGET
sume his speech in favor of the
bill, Owen got to his feet, and in
a voice rich with anger, told
Peratrovich:
“This man (Pollock) has no
right to impugn the motives of
past legislatures.
“If this man continues these
types of statements, I am going
to introduce a censure motion. I
I think this type of thing is rot
i ten.”
Pollock sat down and Sen. John
McNees got up.
“Mr. Munson has been repaid in
! full by the Set-Netters Union,”
McNees said. “He is not out one
j dime.
I “Furthermore, he has not ex
i hausted his legal rights toward
| recovery of the money. If anyone
I should be repaid, it should be the
Set-Netters Union.”
Pollock, closing debate on the
bill, said he was sorry if anyone
interpreted his remarks as im
pugning the motives of past leg
islatures, “but if anyone feels per
sonally that I should be censured,
have at it.”
