LEAP YEAR’S PRIZE CATCH
UMT Bill Sent
Back to Committee
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Bitterly
debated Universal Military Train
ing appeared Wednesday to be a
dead issue, for the next few
months at least.
The House Tuesday shelved an |
administration bill to start UMT.
It voted 236-162 to send the mea
sure back to committee, climaxing
a dramatic and unusual session, j
Rep. Vinson <D-Ga>, chairman
of the Armed Services Committee,
then killed off any immediate
chance for reconsideration.
He told newsmen his commit-:
tee would not bring up any more
UMT legislation during this ses
sion.
Chairman Russell <D-Ga) of the
Senate Armed Services Commit
tee, another strong supporter,
said in a statement “It will be
little short of an national tragedy”
if the House action “means the
death of UMT legislation.”
Donald R. Wilson, national
commander of the American Le
gion, commented: “I can imagine
a large number of people are
happy tonight and most of them
are within the confines of the
Soviet Union.”

torney as special speaker.

portance to women as well as to
men.
Mrs. Otis Lee of Teller Mission

was a guest of the club.
Texas Rangers Alerted
For Former Anchorage
Mayor, Z. J. Loussac
ANCHORAGE, (JP) — Alaskan
officials and friends of Z. J. Lou
ssac, former mayor of Anchor
age, hope the Texas Rangers get
their man. And they mean their
man—Z. J. Loussac.
They addressed an appeal yes
terday to the famed Texan police
force to find Loussac and his wife
to advise Loussac he filed for the
territorial legislature—but forgot
to sign important papers.
If Loussac doesn’t get his sig
nature up here in the next few
days he won’t be eligible for the
ballot in the April primary.
The Alaska Highway Patrol re
layed the request to the Rangers
and officials in New Mexico and
Arizona. The Loussacs are driv
ing east in a 1948 black Cadillac
with Alaska license plate number
2,001.
The authorities were appealed
to when a hotel in El Paso de
clined to say whether the Lou
| ssacs had been there or were still
due. They were scheduled to stop
at the hotel yesterday.
The former mayor, 45 years a
saacs of Alaska, left his signa
ture off the affidavit which says
he has been a resident of the
territory for at least one year.
Alaskan officials can’t legally just
take his friends’ word for it.
Highlights of Address
By Bob Reeve
Continued from Page One)
“Nothing whatsoever was done to
prohibit the Japs from resuming
their exploitation of crab, cod,
mackerel, shrimp or any sea foods
of Bering Sea. In plain words the
Japs are permitted to develop an
industry using American re
sources and then sell them back
to us at prices against which our
fishermen cannot compete. Where
was our delegate when this treaty
was being formulated?”
“I want to give you my opinion
on statehood,” he said. “I have
always been an ardent supporter
o*f statehood for Alaska but only
on condition that we are given a
proper statehood bill along with
statehood. I pledge that I will en
deavor to secure a proper state
hood bill that will give us full
control o‘f our resources. That
means control of our fisheries, our
continental fchelf defined, control
of our forests, pulp, oil and min
erals. In addition, we deserve all
the land in Alaska outside of our
national parks and the proper
time is now. The present bill
would make out of us nothing but
a maverick state surrounded by
government reservations with two
maverick senators with the brand
of the Interior Department who
influenced the writing of the pres
ent bill.”
In charging neglect of second
Division in particular, Reeve list
ed the Fairbanks - Nome road,
feeder roads to Teller and other
mining areas, territorial nurse,
welfare agent, and the long over
due district >udge. “Another thing
—Why did Judge Kehoe resign a
$15,000 a year judgeship to take
a $9,000 a year clerkship in his
present position. Just what have
you people done to deserve all
this neglect and indifference?”
In closing Reeve stated that he
has no ambition to “be a United
States Senator and have no am
bition to be a perpetual delegate
in Washington. The day our terri
tory is going straight and honest
—I will return to Alaska as a
private citizen.”
“Our final territory elections
are held almost a month before
the national elections. If we can
swing Alaska Republican and set
the example that as Alaska goes,
so goes the nation—by so doing
we will set a precedent of thought
and leadership that will give tre
mendous hope and solace for a
change for the better.”
Mr. and Mrs. Reeve left for
Anchorage today and will return
some time next month for a visit
to Kotzebue and Barrow.
