Chapman Against
Alaskan Workers '
'</P( Special Washington Service*
WASHINGTON, <;P> — Opposi
tion by Oscar L. Chapman, under
secretary of the interior, appar
ently spells defeat for a bill by
Delegate Bartlett proposing to
give priority of employment in
fisheries of the Territory to Alas
kans.
Bartlett issued a statement
Tuesday disclosing that Chapman
had opposed the bill before the
House merchant marine and fish
eries committee.
Chapman said the department
was anxious to develop stable and
permanent population in the Ter
ritory but he did not believe that
regulations limiting opportunities
for non-residents to engage in
fishing in Alaska would be in ac
cord with national policy.
"I do not believe it to be sound
policy to impose barriers to the
free movement of labor from one
part of the nation to another,”
Chapman said, “anymore than it
would be desirable to impose bar
riers to the free movement of com
modities and capital among the
several states and territories.
“Enactment of legislation of
‘hi? tyn? would probably, in the
con -c of t.me, work to the disad
'<in‘age of Alaskans.”
Chapman's action is expected to
■yuise the committee to kill Bart
lett’s bill.

S. S. Companies
To Enter Air
WASHINGTON </}*»—American
steamship companies asked Con
gress Tuesday to take down what
they termed “bureaucratic barri
ers” now blocking their partici
pation in international air trans
portation.
Tirey L. Ford chairman of the
sea-air commiftee formed by 11
steamship companies, gave their
views to the House interstate and
foreign commerce committee.
He advocated enactment of a
bill by Rep. Fred Bradley <R.
MichP, that would direct the civil
aeronautics board to consider ap
plications of these companies on
the same basis as any other appli
cants.
Ford testified that until recently
CAB has held that the law ex
cluded the operation of air routes
by steamship companies.
Even though it has now revers
ed this stand, he said, the board
still holds that the law contains
“statutory standards” that prevent
such operations by shiplines. He
said the Bradley bill would elim
inate these “bureaucratic barri
ers.”
Commons Okavs
Nationalization
LONDON, (Ah—The labor gov
ernment’s drive to nationalize
Britain’s key industries neared its
l':nal goal Tuesday with approval
by the House of Commons of a
measure to bring under public |
ownership all inland transport—
railroads, buses, trucks, subways,1
street cars and canals.
The bill now goes to the House i
of Lords, where heated opposition
by the overwhelming conservative
majority is expected, but rejec
tion of the measure by the upper
house would force a constitutional
crisis which might further restrict
the already limited powers of the
Lords.
“Tf the House of Lords attempt
‘o fru-irate the bill,” Aneurin Bc
van, laborite minister of health,
iee’ored. “we shall set their re
sistance aside. Speaking for my
self only, I would set the House
i'f Lords aside anyway.”
“Develop Alaska
Water Power”
M/P) Special Washington Service*
WASHINGTON. (/P)—The fed-|
era! power commission said Tues
day that the basic energy source j
for industrial growth of South- i
east Alaska will be provided by
development of that area’s water •
power resources.
An FPC report listed 200 po-j
tential projects which it estimated j
could develop 1,008.370 average |
horse power, although it said thej
sites individually are “relatively
small in capacity.”
“Water power is used principally j
for mining now but the real incen- \
tive for expansion of water power
resources might come from de
velopments of forest products, the
FPC said. It suggested timber in
the Tongass national forest could j
be cropped by power from water I
sources in the area to provide
lumber, plywood, pulp and other
forest products, and estimated
that about 1,000,000 tons of news
print a year could be produced by
250,000 horse power.

England “Dying
Of Starvation9
LONDON —One of Britain’s
leading dietitians, Dr. Franklin
Bicknell, said Tuesday that “Eng
land is dying of starvation.”
“As a nation we must literally
perish” unless food stocks im
prove, Bicknell wrote in the Medi
cal Press, an independent weekly.
Citing the “piteously thin
girls,” “undersized deb;lit'*0
children” and what he deemed the
bad temper and general la-itui *
of the whole population, Bicknell
said the government’s nutritional
urveys have “damned themselves
by their own euphoria, and mean
nothing."
Bicknell said school children
here were three inches shorter and
lfi pounds lighter than before the
war "in spite of the guzzling of ex
tra milk, extra school meals and
thei** mothers’ fat rations.”
Foods available here—rationed
and unrationed outside of restau
rant—provide a diet of less than
1 ti calores in order to provide
'o energy used up in a full day’s
work.”
