A discussion was held on the
subject of notifying all business

Sen. Butler Asks
Belter Statehood
Bill For Alaska
(Continued from Page One)
passed statehood bill without ma
terial changes. To make substan
tial changes, he said, would al
most certainly result in the legis
lation failing to pass Congress this ,
*
year.
Senator Butler <R.-Neb.) is
hammering away at Alaska state- j
hood witnesses on his contention
that pending legislation would not
give the proposed new state
enough land.
For two days Butler has asked
each witness appearing before the
Senate Interior Committee on the
House-passed statehood bill whe- j
ther he believes four sections in j
each township was a fair portion
to give the proposed state. ,
They generally have replied
that this is the same amount that
was given other states when they
were admitted to the union. But
the witnesses have usually added
they would like to see Alaska get
more.
Butler himself has introduced j
an amendment to give the propos
ed State every other section of
land in each surveyed township.
His proposal would extend the
same provision to newly surveyed
land in the future. Just as the bill
says four sections of larnd sur
veyed hereafter shall belong to
the state.
Yesterday Butler commented
that he is not certain that other
States were given only four sec
tions of land in each township
when they came into the Union.
He said he was having a study
made. %
Secretary Chapman of the Inte
rior Department, the first witness
for the Administration, told But
ler that he believed four sections
in a township was sufficient for
the new State. He said, however,
he was ready to agree with But
ler’s proposal or any other in
crease in the land to be given
Alaska to get the statehood bill
approved.
Butler then introduced another j
amendment.
This would rescind orders of
reservations in Alaska. It would |
the Interior Department creating'
apply to all reservations created |
since 1936 in Alaska. It specifical
ly would apply to the Akutan,'
nariuk, wales, unalakieet and
Nenetie reservations.
The amendment also provides
that the department may issue
patents to native tribes, villages,
and individuals for land used or
occupied for townsites, villages,
smokehouses, gardens, burial
grounds or missionary stations. If
they are. situated in national for
ests, the approval of the Secretary
of Agriculture would be neces
sary.
Witnesses questioned by Butler
have told him that they oppose
reservations because Alaskan In
dians are taking their place in so
ciety along with the whites. They
have added the Indians them
selves do not want reservations.
Bertha Fiscus and child arrived
this morning to visit with her par
ents Mr. and Mrs. Gus Bjornstad
and to see her many friends here.
