Alaska Not Ready
For Sialehood Says
Committee
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2— UP) —
The House Appropriations Sub
Committee expressed “serious
doubts” whether Alaska was ready
to become a state. The commit
j tee’s report came a few days after
President Truman told a news
conference he would welcome
Alaska’s entry into the Union as a
state whenever the Territory was
ready for that step.
The committee, headed by Rep.
Jed Johnson, visited Alaska this
I summer and in a report filed in
; the House it said “although the j
committee feels that eventually
; the claims of the Territory must be
! given serious consideration, it ap
pears that up to the present time
the Territory is not developed to a!
point where it is ready for State-!
hood in that it has not enacted tax I
laws and other legislation, includ-1
ing in many instances, social laws
which would place it on a par
with most of the forty-eight States
of the Union.
“The committee has serious
doubts if it is ready to assume the
; role of a sovereign State now or
in the near future.” The Commit
j tee said it was “shocked” to learn
j that while the fishing interests
had taken fifty to sixty million
dollars annually out of Alaskan
waters the return to the Territory
was “only about a million dol
, lars a year.”
Other findings were that gold
mines had yielded some three
hundred eighty million dollars
since they began operations but
had returned “extremely negligi
ble sums.” The Territory liquor
tax is ‘negligible.” The Territory
has no basic tax laws, no gas tax,
no property or land tax outside
incorporated towns, no Territori
al income tax.”
Roads are urgently needed, but |
the Territory should accept their
full share of construction costs,
which heretofore have been borne j
by the Federal gvornment. Thej
Alaskan Railroad should be per- j
mitted to use its six million dollar |
surplus to improve its roadbed j
and purchase modern equipment.
Activities other than the im
provement of parks and monu
ments, and involving health edu
cation and general welfare of the
natives should have first call on
any funds expended in the Terri
tory. Many Army and Navy in
stallations might now be found
available for schools and hospitals
The Indian service is “lacking
pitifully” in service.
The committee cautioned war
veterans against homesteading in
the Territory without careful per
sonal investigation of the oppor
tunities and the conditions under
which they would have to live. It
recommended further investiga
tions of the agricultural areas by
the General Land Office and urged
some government agency to de
termine what business opportuni
ties there are for veterans.

From here, as district governor,
he ruled surrounding Franconia

Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz,
the last German ruler of Germany
was born Sept. 16, 1891, in Ber
lin .. . Immensely popular with
the German people, never known
as an ardent Nazi, his pride and
joy in life were the murderous
wolf-pack submarines whose
crews he exhorted to “Kill! Kill!
i Kill! Have no humanity—human
ity means weakness!” ... He saw
surface and submarine action in
World War I and was captured by
(the British near Malta . . . pro

July, 1944, Doenitz led the purge
of the conspirators . . . After the
1918 armistice Doenitz was con
fined to the Manchester, England,
lunatic asylum, suffering what
was thought to be feigned insan
ity, and later repatriated to Ger
many as insane ... In World War
II when things looked black for
Germany he preached that “no
situation is ever hopeless.”
