Like secretary of the army Roy
all, who said much the same thing
in an open session of the commit
tee yesterday, Symington said the
civilian defense chief never will
be able to ride herd on the quar
reling army, navy and air force
unless he is given much greater
power.
Such authority, he said, “could
save billions annually.”
Just as Royall did. Symington
urged dropping the civilian heads
of the army, navy and air force
from their present ranks to the
position of undersecretaries.
As now set up the .joint chiefs
must make decisions by unani
mous vote. Royall called that an
“absurdity” and Symington’s tes
timony went further.
“One member of the joint chiefs
of staff,” the air secretary said,
can '‘gut the decisions of the
other two.”

Forest Service
Retarding Alaska
WASHINGTON (A*)—Rep. Lem
ke <R.-N. D.) accused the forest
service today of retarding Alas
ka’s development.
The government agency, he
said, is offering 50 to 85-year
leases on large tracts of Alaska
timber to encourage establishment
of paper mills in the Territory.
“The action of the forest serv
ice,” he told a reporter, “is block
ing out efforts to homestead Alas
ka under my bill. It is offering
these large tracts and providing
that onyl a few trees be left to re
cced themselves after the tracts
are denuded to obtain pulp wood.
“The forest service plan would
not leave enough land to encour
age the needed number of veter
ans to go to Alaska.”
Under a bill Lemke has intro
duced in Congress, veterans could
obtain from 320 to 2.560 acres
each in Alaska. Each homestead
would be large enough to sustain
a family of seven. On forest home
steads. the veterans would be re
quired to cut timber on a sustain
ed yield basis to perpetuate the
forest.

19th Legislature
Most Constructive
Says Senator Lvng
The 19th Territorial Legislature
recently concluded was the most
constructive legislature in my 12
years of experience, was the state
ment made by Senator Howard
Lyng of Nome, and Democratic
National Committeeman for Alas
ka.
“As a result of the forward look
ing program enacted by the 19th
Legislature, we can definitely
state that the Territorial house is
now in order,” said Senator Lyng.
“Although 1 personally feel that
the tax measures were a bit
stronger than necessary. 1 believe
that we may have a surplus in the
treasury for the biennium of about
$1,500,000.
“The 19th Legislature definite
ly made up foi< the sins of the de
plorable 1947 session and turned
out a record that will challenge
future legislatures," Lyng declar
ed.
The Second Division Senator
pointed to the appropriation of
$2,500,000 for new construct ion in
school houses and the $300 raise
given all teacher-.
“Increasing the bounty on
' . i 0,
to $0. an 1 eagles to $2 were for
the protection of game and fish,”
Lyng pointed out. "The new Ter
ritorial Fisheries C ommiss’on an
excellent innovation. Ii will gain
experience and when statehood
comes, it will be ready to take
over the management of our aqua
tic resources."
' In the field of health Lyng -’.at
I
ed, “Wo paid up all back bills left
by the 19f7 session. We allotted
$650,009 for tuberculosis. We
passed many provisions to pri’.ec’
the public health.
“Under Homing the $259,000 re
volving fund p: .■ se#l by the 19. a
ses-ion will enable the federal
government to make available
$15,000,000 for housing in Aias :.*.
“Far-rc aching legislation on la
bor v. is an outstanding c nvibu
tion by the 19th session,” said
Lyng. “The wage collection fea
ture, new child labor act. equal
pay for equal work arc stops
ahead.”
Lyng pointed out that munici
palities have'been greatly strength
ened by new legislation.
Under social security, pensions
were raised to $00 per person, de
pendent children to $50 per month
for the first child, $25 for the sec
ond and $20 for additional chil
dren. Relief for destitution was in
creased $300,000 and additional
dependency allowances under the
unemployment compensation act
were set at 20 u of the weekly
benefits.
A long-overdue retirement sys
tem for Territorial employees was
enacted and municipalities given
the option to join the plan.
The basic tax laws speak for
themselves. Senator Lyng declar
ed. “The 19th Legislature put the
Territorial house in order.”
The newly created department
of aviation, plus regulations estab
lishing minimum erne rgency
equipment to be carried by all
planes, Senator Lyng said were in
the public interest.
The National Guard bill calling
for 65 units of Alaska Scouts in
the coastal areas of the 2nd. 3rd
and 4th Divisions will be confined
almost wholly to the native vil
lages of the fa rnorth and will
strengthen our national defense.
The $660,000 appropriation for a
new Territorial building was an
urgent necessity, Lyng declared.
“Mr. Oscar Olsen, the treasurer

also ease present limitations on
10 industries.
For one thing, German ship
building will be removed from the
prohibited list. It will be permit
ted on a restricted basis.
Some new industries will be
added to the present prohibited
list.
Royal! said Germany will wel
come the decision to retain all or
part of the 159 plants previously
scheduled to be knocked down
and shipped to allied countries.
But he indicated he anticipated
the Germans will be less pleased
with the new prohibited list.
A state department announce
ment said the amount of equip
ment formerly scheduled for re
moval but now to be left there
varies among the 159 plants “fr >m
a single piece of equipment in a
plant to the entire equipment, of
an operating factory.”
“The equipment which will be
retained in Germany .s located in
32 plants in the steel industry. 83
metal working plant-. 32 chemical
plants and seven plants hi he
non-ferrous metal industries.” 'he
announcement said.
The announcements are the lat
est in a series of moves aimed at
this three-fold objective:
To give Germany limited
government.
2. To advance the conquered na
tion toward economic self-suffi
j cicncv, and
3. To enable Germany to con
tribute more to the total recovery
of Europe.

‘One regret 1 have is that the
(Alaska Development Board was
i trimmed to $80,000 for the b;en

thor of tine original bill in 1945
that established the Development
Board, I feel that the Alaska De
velopment Board could do a great
[ job for the growth of the Terri
tory if it had the eh mce," the Sen
ator stated.
“All in all, I feel that the 19th

Democratic principles, succeeded
