It's a warm and wonderful thing to know that for the
first time in hundreds of years fighting men’s lives are
being saved by protective body armor which really
works. These men are our American soldiers and marines.
And their new bullet-proof vest is made from the same
miracle fabric that gives our women their enchantingly
sheer hosiery—nylon!

Original .45 calibre bullet and flattened slugs removed from jacket.
Top marine officers at the front say that the new armor
has not only saved hundreds of lives in its first few
months of duty, but it has made the brave men who
wear it more confident and courageous than ever. In a
way you have contributed to this new bravery—if you
have invested in United States Defense Bonds.
For by Bonds you have built up not only your own
personal financial security but that of yoyr country as
well. And only a prosperous and strong country like ours
could afford to think of her fighting men as individuals.

Senate Tables Tax Exemption For New Industries
As House Passes New Banking Law Over Opposition
By JIM HUTCHESON
JUNEAU, (fl—In a session run
ning to midnight on the Alaska
Legislature’s next-to-final night,
the Senate Wednesday completed
Legislative approval of extending
loans to Korean war veterans and
voted to establish a territorial
land department with all-inclusive
provisions for land registration.
The Senate tabled by a 9-6 vote
a House bill for an incentive to
new industries by a 3V£-year ex
emption from the territorial in
come tax.
Death by tabling came after
Sen. Robison of Anchorage ap
pealed for enactment by describ
ing Canada as growing industrial
ly by leaps and bounds by in
centive moves. Sen. Butrovich
countered with the contention,
“I’m scared to death this might
bring the whole income tax law
into the courts and jeopardize the
main source of the territory’s rev
enues. I feel we’ve done enough
in the incentive line.”
AVA Funds Cut to $80,000
Other Senate action included
cutting a House appropriation of
$120,000 for the Alaska Visitors’
Association for tourist promotion
on a three-to-one basis to $80,000
on a two-to-one matching basis
for the association’s $40,000. The
bill passed on a 13-2 vote.
The House wound up the night
by completing legislative action
on two major bills.
One is a codification of public
welfare laws, which includes a
controversial clause for the terri
tory to negotiate with the Alaska
Native Service for possibly taking
over care of natives with federal
financial aid.
Attorneys Oppose Banking Bill
The other was a 121-page bank
ing bill, in which the House con
curred in final Senate amend
mests after sharp exchanges be
tween Rep. Rutherford of An
chorage and Reps. Kay and Strin
ger of Anchorage, against. Both
Kay and Stringer are attorneys.
The final House vote was 18-6,
despite arguments by Stringer
and Kay, supported by Atty. Gen.
Gerald Williams, that the bill in
volved possible legal complica
tions.
Kay called it “a lousy bill”
which he said the bankers should
have introduced at the start of
the session instead of bringing
it in late and then loading it with
amendments.
2 Vi Million Acres Land Available
The Senate voted for the bill
by Rep. Pollock of Anchorage for
creation of a territorial land de
partment with a $12,000-a-year
commissioner. Before the vote,
Charles Burdick, assistant region
al forester, told the Senate fed
eral agencies are ready to turn
2 Vfe million acres over to the terri
tory if an agency is established
to receive the land.
Burdick said if the department
had been created 15 years ago,
the territory would have received
millions of dollars from lands for
the university and schools.
Under questioning by Robison,
Burdick said the average value of
the land would be at least one
dollar an acre and some are worth
$35 or more.
Robison argued the “people are
likely to think we are short
sighted if we fail to provide for
accepting 2 Vt million dollars worth
of land, especially when we com
plain about too much federal con
trol of lands.”
Statehood Committee Defeated
The House-approved statehood
committee bill by Rep. Pollock
was defeated on a 10-5 vote.
Failure of the bill to pass ap
parently leaves the existing state
hood committee intact but with
out any additional appropriation.
However, Butrovich told the Sen
ate the committee still has about
half of its original $80,000 appro
priation.
Sen. Snider argued against the
bill, contending “I’ve heard the
committee has done a good job
and now we are kicking them out
and spending more money” while
statehood is appearing more dis
tant. ,
