Many Testify For
Gov. Gruening At
Capital Hearing
•Confined from Page One)
party, said the group believes
Gruening has given the Territory
4 e b-s' government in the history
of Alaska and feels that for the
Senate no4 to confirm him now
will be a blow to plans for con
tiiiui ’g ‘he fight for statehood.
“We are here to see what we
can to in behalf of statehood and
what we can do in behalf of our
loyal friend, Governor Gruening,”
Clarence Keating, Democratic
member of the Territorial House,
said. He said members of the leg
islature on the Democratic ticket
ran on a platform to support
Gruening’s tax program and other
reforms.
“We put the program across be
fore the legislature adjourned.”
Keating told a reporter. “A few
die-hards are now trying to humil
iate Governor Gruening. The Ter
ritory wants his reappointed, def
initely.”
Mrs. Audrey Cutting, Anchor
age realtor, said the “people of the
Territory are for reappointment of
Gruening” while Miss Dorothy
Tyner, Anchorage, said she be
lieved “Governor Gruening could
not be improved upon by any ap
pointment.”
“I believe,” she exclaimed,‘‘that
if he ran for Governor of Alaska
in an election he would be over
whelmingly elected by the peo
ple.”
In the group was William Beltz,
Eskimo elected to the Alaska Leg
islature on the Democratic ticket,
Joe Nashalook, Unalakleet, and
Lester Roberts, Juneau. Nashalook
is secretary of a fishermen's union
while Roberts is grand secretary
of the Alaska Native Brotherhood.
All three said they favored
Gruening’s confirmation.
Arthur Eide. president of the
Pioneers of Alaska. Igloo 15, An
chorage, asserted he has l’ved in
the Territory for 35 years, knew
all of the Territorial governors
and “Gruening has done more for
the people than any other gover
nor.”
“We Pioneers feel he should be
retained,” he said.
Mrs. Fannie T. Phillips, com
pleting her first air trip and her
first trip out of Alaska in 30 years,
joined Eide in his approval. She is
treasurer of the Pioneer Auxiliary
No. 4. at Anchorage.
Pearl Gibson, secretary of the
central labor council at Anchor
age, and H. J. Lannen, Copper
River and Prince William Sound
cannery workers and fishermen’s
union representative, said labor in
the Territory” is 100 per cent
united in support of Governor
I Gruening.”
William L. Baker, editor and
publisher of the Ketchikan Chron
icle, said the delegation intended
to make clear to the Senate com
mittee that Gruening has the sup
port of the people of Alaska and
that they want his reappointment.
Some of the Alaskans were to
testify at a House sub-committee
hearing yesterday on legislation
to abolish fish ti'aps in Alaska
over a ten year period.
Ira Rothwell, mayor of Cordova,
already here to attend the fisher
ies hearings, was at the airport to
meet the pro-Gruening group.
He said the people of the Terri
tory had voted nearly nine to one
for abolishment of the traps and
hoped the present session of Con
gress would approve the bill.
He also said he favored Gruen
ing’s confirmation and that he has
been an excellent governor whose
