" SALEM, Jan. 26 (fP)A group
fit house republicans said today
hey intend to start a move to
unseat State Representative.
'Einar C. Allen, Portland demo
crat, whose illness has confined
Sim to a Portland sanatarium
since the opening day of the ses
sion. i The house elections commit
itee recommended passage of a
Jjill to let county courts fill leg
islative vacancies without ap
pointing a person of the. same
party as the predecessor, This
would allow appointment of a
republican to succeed Allen.
However, some house leaders
doubted that Allen could be
ousted, since he was sworn in
on the opening day.
- The house in the past has re
fused to seat a man, but it has
not unseated one after he has
taken his place.
An emergency clause ' was
tacked onto the bill, so it could
apply immediately to Allen, if
an effort is made to oust him.
i- Allen is not expected back for
the rest of the session.

rfpmand that the "Drincioals
Alaska as well as to foreign
countries was passed by the ter
ritorial house of representatives
yesterday in a memorial to con
gress which went through all
formalities from introduction to
final reading in 30 minutes.
Introduced by Rep. Shattuck,
it asked immediate investiga
tion of the land policies of the
secretary of the department of
the interior.
It asserted the secretary, while
publicly voicing a desire to aid
in populating the territory and
in developing its resources, had
withdrawn large areas of land
and water from the public
domain and "created such a con
dition of confusion and un
certainty among the people that
we Alaskans no longer know
who owns the ground beneath
us."
It declared control of the land
"rests in one man" and petitioned
congress for an immediate in
vestigation "to the end that re
lief be granted from the ever
growing burden resulting from
such policies."

. . , Main and 8th -
YES, we know there's
a war going on !
-but here's how we're frying to overcome
ihe difficulties of wartime travel
'Our traini are longer and ached ulee are glower now:
Space Is hard to get. People frequently have to ntand in
; line to buy tickets or to got into the dining car. In short,
our service isn't what it waa before the war.
- The main reason ia, of course, that our volume of paa
aengor traffic ia five timet that of 1940, with just about
the same number of cars wo had then. And, like overy.
body else, we are short of help.
However, this company ia determined not to just give
up and blame everything on the war. Wherever possible
we have taken aggressive ateps to lessen the difficulties
- of wartime travel. For eiample: . ..
1 Our .."train assignment plan" for coach passengers
fias to a large extent eliminated overcrowding and
' standing on our long-distanco trains. We endeavor
to sell only as many seats as are on the train, and
,, each passenger gets a reservation slip.
O "Passenger aides," capable trained women, have
been stationed on long-distance S. P. coach trains.
They assist women traveling with children, help pre
pare "formulae", for the babies, aid tho aged and
infirm, and perform other services to make the
journey as comfortable- as possible for everyone.
