Bartlett Blasts At
Agriculture Pro
gram For Alaska
(By Charles D. Watkins)
<(/P) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (/P) —Delegate
Bartlett of Alaska denounced yes
terday as a ‘‘vicious piece of legis
lation” the pending authorization
'of $144,940 foi# agriculture re
search in the Territory with the
proviso that the agriculture de
partment take over the work now
done by the University of Alaska.
The compromise 1948 agricul
: ture appropriations bill carries
■ money and says the department
shall take over the work done by
the university and any unexpend
ed funds it now has on hand.
That money includes federal
and territorial funds appropriated
for the agriculture station operat
ed for the Territory by the uni
versity, Bartlett said.
The House agreed to the confer
ence report Friday and the Senate
debated it Monday.
“I think this one of the most
vicious pieces of legislation af
fecting Alaska which has ever
been passed by the Congress of
the United States.’ Bartlett said
in a statement. “It is an abroga*
tion of home rule and local re
sponsibility.”
“The university of Alaska is a
land-grant college in exactly the
same sense as are similar institu
tions in the United States proper,
; and all of us know that Congress
i would never seek to move in suc.i
i a fashion concerning a land grant
college in the States.
' “Not only does this bill divest
the authorities of the University
of Alaska of all control with re
spect to the agriculture research
program but it high-handedly as
serts the supreme authority of the
Congress over the Territory by
seeking to take out of the Terri
torial treasury funds appropri
j ated by the Territorial legislature
for agriculture reserach at the
university and give this money to
the secretary of agriculture for
expenditure.
“It is fantastic that such a pro
posal should ever have been made, j
. . . The language which finally,
appears in the bill is proof enoughi
American Legion
Suggests Changes
In United Nations
WASHINGTON, (./P) — Calling
the security council a “perpetual
ly hung jury,” the American Le
gion today proposed an overhaul
of the United Nations charter to
bobtail the Big Five veto and set
up a “tyranny-proof" world police
force.
Climaxing a year of study, the
Legion’s recommendations were
forwarded in a letter to each
member of Congress with this
acknowledgment:
“It may not be possible or ex
pedient to attempt to bring about
changes now, but we believe they
suggest a goal which must be at
tained in order that the United
Nations becomes fully effective.”
The veterans organization con
tended th.at its recommendations
wouid “lay a solid foundation for
the elminiation of the atomic
threat.” It said further they “are
indispensable to bring about an
adequate substitute for the grim
rules of power politics.”
Specifically, the Legion pro
posed three charter amendments
designed to:
L Give “more effective repre
sentation of the nations” on the
security council and abolish the
veto in cases of aggression “or
preparation for'aggression.”
2. Give the security council
“adequate powers” to prevent ag
gressive war by creating iron clad
international controls over atomic
weapons and all other means of
mass destruction.

the answers and keeps praying
she’ll be as^ed the questions.
that politically the Territory is ab
solutely at the mercy of any man
or small group of men in Congress
determined to work his or its
will.”
Bartlett said that the conferees
statement that the action does not
reflect any intention to modify or
depart from the policy of agricul
ture research through grants to
the states and territories or to ini
tiate a policy of taking over state
experiment stations “is extremely
puzzling because that is just what j
this bill does.

Indict Christoffel
For Perjury
WASHINGTON, (/P)—A federal
grand jury today indicted Harold
Roland Christoffel, Milwaukee
CIO leader, on charges that he
committed perjury in telling a
Congressional committee that he
was not a member of the Com
munist party.
Christoffel testified before the
House labor committee last March
1. He was president of the United
Auto Workers local No. 248 at a
time when Allis-Chalmers plants
in the Milwaukee area were shut
down by a protracted strike.
The labor committee was inves
tigating the causes of labo’- dis
putes, work stoppages and strikes
with particular reference to any
influence of subversive groups.
The indictment said that Chris
toffel, under oath, “categorically
denied” any affiliation with Com
munists or the Communist party.
Nevertheless, the grand jury re
port said, he “was then a member
of the Communist party and had
been such member for several
years thereto and had worked
with the Communist party and
with the Communist political as
sociation.”
