Washington News - Letter
By Mary Lee Council
Secretary to E. L. (Bob) Bartlett
Delegate in Congress from Alaska
ALASKA LEGISLATION
Six of Delegate Bartlett’s bills
were passed by the House last
week, five of them going to the
Senate Interior and Insular Af
%
fairs Committee and the sixth to
the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The first bill to clear the House
would allow the City of Anchor
age to issue general obligation
bonds for construction of public
works in the amount of $12Vfe
million. The measure amends a
law enacted in the 79th Congress
which authorized the issuance of
such bonds by Anchorage at a
ceiling of $5 million.
Three of the House - approved
bills would permit the Alaska
Council, Boy Scouts of America,
to purchase approximately 134
acres o'f land bordering a small
lake on the Sterling Highway for
use of Kenai Troop 653; the Vic
tory Bible Camp Ground, Inc., of
Anchorage to buy 40 acres of land
in the vicinity of Index Lake; and
the Catholic Bishop of Northern
Alaska to purchase 40 acres of
land south of the junction of the
Glen and Richardson Highways
for use as a mission site.
4
The boundary between the Sec
ond and Fourth Divisions would
be redefined if the fifth Bartlett
bill is enacted. The purpose of the
redesignation is to have the boun
dary line correspond with the
natural dividing lines of the area
such as rivers and mountain
ridges.
The sixth bill to be sent to the
Senate seeks to reimburse 57 Al
aska Railroad employes for per
sonal effects and work tools de
stroyed as the result of the fire
which occurred on January 15,
1951, in the Anchorage Terminal
Mechanical Building of the Al
aska Railroad.
One Eskimo language is spoken
with few dialects from Greenland
west to -the eastern portions of
Siberia.

Committees Approve
Seizure Authorization
Bills For President
WASHINGTON, (JP) — The
Senate Labor Committee approv
ed Tuesday the Humphrey Bill
to permit President Truman to
seize the strike-paralyzed steel
industry.
Along with this measure, spon
sored by Sen. Humphrey (D-Min),
the group also approved a broader
bill, proposed by Sen. Morse
(R-Ore). It would allow the
President to seize any defense
vital industry — subject to Con
gressional veto—to avert a strike.
Both the Humphrey and Morse
proposals were rejected by the
Senate earlier this month when
offered as amendments to legisla
tion continuing wage-price con
trols.
However, it is debatable whe
ther the Senate will agree to con
sider them again.
