On Decision Of
Maritime Examiner
JUNEAU, Aug, 7, — Denial
of the pet tion for increased freight
and passenger rates by the Alas
ka Maritime Carriers, and discon
tinuance of the rate proceedings,
are recommended in the report of
F. J. Ho-: ■>. F.viminer of the Mar
itime C arun.ss' n, docket num
ber 641, entitled Increased Rates
From, to, and Within Alaska,”
which has just been made public.
Announcement to this effect
was made at the opening of the
second day’s hearings before the
subcommittee of the House Com
mittee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries by David E. Scoll, spe
cial counsel for the Alaska Dev
elopment Board, who had been
retained by it to fight the case.
Mr. Scoll’s statement made to
the committe this morning is in
part as follows:
The report of the examiner for
the Maritime Commission reviews
uii me testimony which was pre
sented to the Commission both n
Seattle and in Washington and
finds that the petition ot *ne War
Shipp.ng Administration should be
denied and the proceedings dis
continued.
The questions 1 uiseb yesterday
concerning the rales required to
maintain private operation and
./it auinty oi the people of the
Territory to pay an increase are
settled by the Examiner’s report.
The Examiner also finds that the
cost of private operations over
estimated by the steamship unes.
Undoubtedly this Honorable Com
mb tee will find the Examiner’s
summary of the testimony ancl
statement of the rate issue help
ful in its own deliberations. The
Examiner’s recommendation that
the rate petition should be denied
has the effect of sharpening the
necessity for some form of legis
lative relief. It is now up to
Congress and the Territorial Leg
islature to deal with the problem
of providing Alaska with an ade
quate water service at reasonable
rates.
The people of Alaska are to be
congratulated upon the result of
the Maritime Commission case
It will save them millions m trans
portation charges. While the Com
mits on has yet to i. sue its final
report, 1 confidently ueiieve tint.
h< Examiner's recommendations
will be adopted.
While it is clear that the final
decision of the United States Mar
itime Commission is still to come,
and Alaska has had one previou
disappointing experience when in
1940 the recommendations of the
U. S. Maritime Commission’s Ex
aminer, adverse to the requested
steamship rate increases, were
subsequently overruled by the
Commission, I feel confident that
the Alaska public has scored a
great victory, and that, as Mr.
Scoll points out, it seems extreme
ly unlikely that the Maritime
Commission will again find con
trary to the categorical recom
mendations of its own Examiner.
I am highly pleased at this result,
NOME CHAMBER DISCUSSES

At the regular Tuesday noon
luncheon several visitors were
present. Mrs. Minnie Stewart,
of the Women’s Division of Meth
odist Missions; Mrs. James Tucker,
wife of Dr. Tucker; Gordon Wildes,
and Dinty Moore of Anchorage.
Mrs. Stewart spoke briefly of the
plans which her board has for the
establishment of a good hospital
in the Nome area and the work
already in progress in other parts
of the Territory in cooperation
with the Territorial Health Depart
ment.
Mr. M. Mitrovitch, president of
the chamber, stated there was a

Gates Governor Omening in his
message, which fully justifies our
efforts against these rate increas
es. including and especially the
retention of Mr. Scoll as special
counsel, who in conjunction with
Attorney Generay Rivers, has sa
ably handled the case for Alaska.
