Four Area Accidents
During Week-End
Two ambulance calls were an
swered this week-end by volun
teer members of the ambulance
corps, The first came at noon on
Saturday when ARR employee,
Ernest L. Nelson of Anchorage
was injured at Wasilla. Nelson
slipped on a caboose step and
received head and shoulder in
juries. He was transferred to
the Valley Presbyterian Hospit
al. Another ambulance call was
received about the same time
and Bob Peterson's Mercury sta
tion wagon was pressed into use,
although it was found that those
involved in the accident had been
brought into Palmer. No injur
ies were reported.
Monday afternoon Michael

hospital by the local ambulance
following an accident in which
he received head injuries. He
was later transferred to the

riding went off Moose Creek
h”l and rolled to the bottom.

House Candidate
Favors Omnibus Bill
Bon Hitchcock, Independent
candidate for the House, said
this week that he favors an Om
nibus Bill, and suggested the
public would be wise to learn
the stand of candidates on this
as well as other issues.
“Before the next legislature
adjourns, Congress will have
been in session long enough to
?ive us an idea as to the success
or failure of the Tennessee
Plan," he pointed out.
“Whatever one thinks of the
Tennessee Plan", the House can
didate said, “the voters have rat
ified it, and we are obliged to
give it a try."
“If Congressmen reject the
Tennessee Plan, they may feel
obliged by public opinion to do
something else for Alaska", he
said. “It will be poor strategy
on our part if we are not immedi
ately ready with an alternative
request.'"
“The 1957 Legislature should
oe prepared to memorilize Con
gress for an Omnibus Bill, con
taining reforms most needed
here, and which would automati
cally come with statehood. There
is, in fact, one important econ
omic advantage we can ask for
that is, a period of 19 to 20
years exemption from the now
unjust Federal tax-without-repre
sentation", he said.
Candidate Hitchcock pointed
out that an Omnibus Bill might
include control over our fish and
wildlife; changes in mineral and
land law; transportation regu
lations and others.
“To gain political justice, we
should be allowed to elect our
own governor; our legislature
should be given wider range; our
judiciary needs attention”, he
added,
“We have never seriously put
our efforts behind such as Omni
bus Bill for Alaska, on the mis
taken theory that it might injure
the statehood drive. This objec
tion is no more than a political
argument, an assumption not
based on fact or experience. We
only handicap ourselves if w'e
neglect any effort to improve
our status with statehood, or
without it.”
Hitchcock finalized his state
ments by saying that it should be
up to the people to decide what
MUC Joseph P. Mokry. who
was to accompany and conduct
the U. S. Navy band from Kodi- j
ak during their presentations at
the Valley Fair, was taken ill
in Anchorage Saturday evening
and was unable to accompany
the 14-ntan band to the Fair. The
youthful sailors gave creditable
performances in spite of their!
oss and made a very favorable
impression upon all persons with
whom they came in contact
while visiting in Palmer this
past week-end.
we want to do if the immediate
statehood movement fails. He |
points out that because we lack I
initiative and referendum we1
must depend upon the legisla
j ture to act.
