BARTLETT NEWS NOTES
Delegate Rob Bartlett’s

Alaska and Hawaii statehood
were virtually killed when
the House Rules Committee re"'
fused a request to let the
corcbin,s^LH3tt£U.r A1 askasta t<r
frood go to conference.
The Senate Interior and
Insular Affairs committee has
under consideration a commit
tee print of the House-passed
bill relating to the hospital
ization and care of Alaska’s
centally ill which would amend
considerably the financial
provisions of the legislation
and would provide that the
Territory would assume the
costs of caring for and trea
ting all centalTy ill stftrtthg
April 1, 1955. The Senate
coccittee print of thevbill
provides that the federal
government would continue to
care for the mentally ill who
are receiving such care and
treatment as of April 1,1955,
but after that date the Ter~
rdtory would assume the costs
for anyone requiring c$*e and
treatment. The Senate coc
ci ttee print adds a provision
which would grant 200,000
acres, i qcl udj gg mi n eraHand,
to the Territory "for the pur
pose of providing for the
care and treatment of the merr
tally ill of Alaska." Such
selection . would be made from
vacant, unappropriated' and
unreserved land. Both the
House version and the Senate
committee print provide that
"nothing in this Act shall.be *
construed to impair, ^amend1,
or in any way modify any pro"
vision of contract-...entered
into on June 18, 1953, by the
Secretary (of the Interior!
on behalf of the U. S. and
the Sanitarium Company of
Portland, .Oregon." The con
tract with Morningside Sani
tarium extends un.til June 30,
1958. . '
The chief examiner of the
Civil Aeronautics Board rec
ommended to the Board this
week that the authority of
Alaska Airlines to operate be
tween Fairbanks and Seattle
and P0£Usni *.aot be. renewed

Airlines systems would be in
the public interest. "
