Fish Trap License
Bill Delayed
WASHINGTON </P)—A decision
on a bill to license fish traps in
Alaskan waters will be delayed
until a joint Congressional com
mittee can study carefully its
terms.
Senator Moore 'R.-Okla.i, chair
man of the committee, said he did
not intend to rush. He said he and
other members of the committee
wanted to study all the testimony.
A fisherman in the business for
30 years told the committee he
could solve what to do with the
legislation for them.
“Toss it overboard,” C. Chester
Carlton of Cordova, advised the
committee. “Give it to the deep
sea. That is where it belongs.”
The government’s control of
Alaska came in for sharp ques
tioning by Rep. Preston <D.-Ga.>.
He asked a witness if it was cor
rect the government owned nearly
99 per cent of the land in the Ter
ritory.
When assured the figure was
correct Preston said “There is nc
possibility of Alaska succeeding
under statehood unless we get the
land out of federal control.”
The witness, A. A. Owen of Ko- •
diak, a fisherman, said he agreed
with Preston and said the interior
department, which administe r s
the Territory, has too much
power.
i He said he believed that much
of the trouble over aboriginal •
rights has grown up under en
couragement from department of
ficials.
He said Alaskan Indians “don’t
i have to be looked after,” because •
they are educated and amply able
to take care of themselves.
James J. Curry, an attorney,
representing the Indians of South
east Alaska, filed a statement
with the committee in which he
argued the present owners of the
fish trap sites are not entitled to
them.
“First,” he said, "because the
present operators climbed to their
present monopolistic ‘ownership*
by unscrupulous means, payment
of monies to federal officials and
their friends and other unsavory
uses of pressure and secondly be
cause they have been repaid their
! investment many times over.”
