Demos Not “Going
Conservative”
Says Bartlett
KETCHIKAN, (/P) — Congres
sional Delegate E. L. Bartlett de
clared before the Territorial Fed
eration of Labor' Wednesday that
Alaska’s Democratic party is not
“going conservative.”
He said it would not desert its
“historic liberality,” as indicated |
by some party leaders after the j
recent Territorial election.
Bartlett asserted efforts of at-1
torney James E. Curry of Wash- j
ington, D. C., on behalf of Indian i
groups, to turn labor against the
Statehood Bill because the bill'
freezes reservations at the pres
ent status, ought to fail.
He said the bill has a clause'
guaranteeing all federal and In-1
dian lands and fishing grounds.;
He added that the issue is not im
portant because Secretary of In
terior Chapman hacj declared pub
licly he would not establish any
more reservations in Alaska with
out a full review and public hear
ings.
Harry O’Reilly of Washington,
organization director for the
American Federation of Labor,
told the convention the AFL has
not right nor left wings. He said
it has only “a single purpose to
improve the social and economic
lot of the working people through
voluntary association for that
purpose.”
OSWEGO, N. Y. (/P)—Goodness
pays off—even if he’s in Korea.
Police Chief J. J. Reed received
2,500 won yesterday from Lee R.
Goodness a GI serving in Korea,
in payment of a $1 fine for a
parking violation. Goodness’ car
was tagged last July when he was
home on furlough.
In case police had difficulty in
exchanging the Korean currency,
Goodness enclosed a U. S. army
certificate good for a dollar.
