LaFarge States
1 Anti-Reservations
i
Lessens Defense
WASHINGTON, (JP)—'The Asso
ciation of American Indian Af
fairs asked the Senate Monday to
strike out of the House-passed
Alaska statehood bill a provision
which the Association said would |
* deprive Alaskan natives of their
land rights.
Oliver La Farge, president of;
the association, wrote Senators;
OTVIahoney (D.-Wyo.) and Con-;
nally (D.-Tex.) saying: I
“This provision undermines our
Alaskan defenses, which are de
I' pendent on native outposts and
loses us the respect and support of
the non-European world.”
O’Mahoney is chairman of the!
Senate interior and insular affairs |
committee, and Connally is chair-!
man of the foreign relations com
mittee.
La Farge said an anti-reserva-;
tion clause in the statehood bill
would repeal the nation’s 1936
confirmation of the right of the j
Aleuts, Eskimos and Indians of,
Alaskato clear title to their lands
and resources.
. The anti-reservation clause, he j
l. said, “seriously undermines our
military security at a crucial mo-,
ment.”
He said he referred to any
plans to establish Eskimo scout
battalions of the Alaskan National
Guard at almost every village
along the Alaskan coast.
“This anti-reservation clause
nullifies rights granted to the na- i
tives when Russia ceded the Ter
ritory to the United States in
1867,” La Farge said. '
There is a serious danger that
this action will antagonize the na
tives at a time when our Alaskan
defenses depend on theim.”
La Farge opposed the section of
the bill which said that “pending
action by the people of Alaska and
the Congress ... no reservations
•
for use and occupancy by the na
tives of Alaska shall be desig
nated.” !
Constitution For
Hawaii Is Very
“Outstanding”
((/P) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, {JP) —Delegate
Farrington (R.-Hawaii) told mem
bers of Congress yesterday that
Hawaii’s proposed State Constitu
tion is “an outstanding docu
ment.”
“And the method by which it
was formulated demonstr a t e s
complete mastery of the demo
cratic process of government by
the people of Hawaii,” Farrington
aded in a statement in the Con
gressional Record.
The Hawaii Delegate included
in his remarks the text of the ad
dress made by Samuel Wilder
King, president of the Hawaii
Constitutional convention, at its
closing session.
Farrington told a reporter that
King will fly to Washington next
week to present copies of the Con
stitution draft to members of the
U. S. Senate.
The House-passed Hawaii state
hood bill, now awaiting Senate
consideration, would confirm and
legalize the action of the Hawaii!
legislature in authorizing the Con
stitutional convention.
Urging Senate approval of the
statehood bill without further de
lay, Farrington said in an inter
view that the present internation
al situation points up its urgency.
“We must strengthen our de
fenses in Hawaii, he said; “both
military and politically.”

'J
j Other Bills Delay
Consideration Of
Statehood Bills
(Continued from Page One)
be another block in the path of
the statehood bills.
Senator Cordon (D. Ore.) has
been waiting for an opportunity to
call up the Hawaiian bill some
time after the appropriations mea
sure is completed. He has said he
would not object to calling up the
Alaska bill at the same time al
though he has declared opposition
to it. I
Senator Watkins (R.-Utah) said
yesterday he believes any attempt
to call up the statehood* bills will
involve the Senate in a long dis
pute. A member of the committee
which endorsed the bills, Watkins
predicted a motion to call up the
bills would meet with sharp op
postion.
There were reports—on which
no Senator would comment—that
some members would like to see
the Hawaiian bill brought up and
then laid aside to permit the Sen
ate to take up the Mundt-Nixon
anti-communist bill. That strategy
would mean another delay in Sen
ate consideration of the statehood
measures.

Alaska and the Yukon are go
ing to need more and more .
highways, airports, industrial
structures of all kinds. Ma
chinery to build them must
come from factories that are
thousands of miles away. To help
get the right machines here at the
right time, and keep them serv
iced, Northern Commercial Com
pany has created an extensive or
ganization. Men have been train
ed, stores and warehouses have
been built, relationships have been
established with leading manufac
turers. We feel confident that
“NCCo.” will be able to keep pace
with the growing needs of North
ern industry. *
