mittee on Indian affairs.
Officials estimate that in the
last 30 years the government has
realized a net profit of more than
$9,000,000 from the sale of seal
skins.
; "The Pribilof Islanders them
i selves have not been as fortunate,”
La Furge said.
“The government has spent less
| than $260 yearly per person for
food, clothing, fuel, medical serv
ice and other maintenance items.
"The workman’s pay is deter
mined by the total seal take, and
top pay is around $950 a year. We
can’t help but feel that the gov
| ernment has been just a little
more interested in seals than seal
ers.”
Mark A. Dauber, executive sec
retary of the Home Missions Coun
cil of North America and a direc
tor of the Association on Indian
Affairs, also is a member of the
survey group.
“I accepted a membership on
the committee in the hope that it
can bring the truth to light,” he
said. "I expect the findings of this
committee to influence basically
the government policy on our
Alaska Indian citizens.”

Lawrence Stevens, assistant to the
Indian commissioner; extension

of the University of Alaska; direc
tor Don Foster of the Alaska Na

Chiefs Of Staff
Return Silent
To Washington
WASHINGTON, i/P)—The joint
chiefs of staff returned Friday
from a nine-day inspection tour of
Alaskan military facilities.
They had no comment on their
findings. The group was headed
by Gen. Omar Bradley, who re
cently was elevated to chairman
ship of the defense chiefs.
While they maintained silence,
Senator Tydings <D.-Md.> spoke
up on the problem of Far North
ern defenses. As chairman of the
Senate armed services committee,
he issued a statement that troops
have been withdrawn from Alas
ka “from time to time" because of
lack of suitable cold weather hous
ing.
"Since Alaska is one of our
most important outposts,” he as
serted. ‘‘this situation is deplor
able.
He expressed hope for early
Senate action on a military public
works bill to relieve the situation.
He said members of the armed
forces in Alaska are living under
"appalling conditions.” Part of it
was caused by the haste with
which shelters had to be erected
during the war.
Senator Magnuson <D.-Wash.>
also pledged his aid in trying to
get Senate approval of the public
works bill.
The reason a dog has so many
real friends is that his tail wags

Palmer Plans For
Larger Airport
PALMER, Alaska, </P> — This
Matanuska Valley trading center
is pushing plans to enlarge its
<mall airport to accommodate
DC-.'i type transports. Surveys
started this week.
The present airport, under con
struction since 1945, has been used
for landing of small ships for the
past two years. Some $200,000 now
is available for airport completion,
money already advanced by Pal
mer being ruled “matching funds.”
Both the north-south and east
west runways will be lengthened
to 3,750 feet, the CAA m.mmum
for DC-3 landings.
Legal maneuverings now are
under way to deed the airport to
tiie Territory during construction,
after which it will be returned to
the airport association when the
runways are completed.
Contractors now’ are working to
beat the expected Move mber
freezeup.
Valley farmers look forward to
the coming of the DC-3’s as a
means to rush their produce to
markets. Reaching potential con
sumers has been thei. largest
problem.
