GOVERNOR CEl'CCES THE REMOVAL
Of ANS Off ICES TO ANCI-CRAOE
Strong opposition to tho proposed removal of
the Alaska Native Service offices from Junea’
to Ar.chorago was voiced by Governor Ernest
Gruening at a Juneau Chamber of Commerce
meeting recently. He pointed out that the
centralization of government offices is im
portant to the economical•and officient op
eration cf ‘the government, and that Junoau
should bo the capital because much money has
boon invested there to make it so. He said
also that he would do everything in his
power to prevent the move.
Norman Banfiold, who has investigated the
mattor, said that the ANS activities are non
primarily concentrated in the Interior and
along the Arctic slope, and that the only
objection he could soo to the move would be
the inconvenience to ANS employees who would
be forced to move out of their present quart
ers and into higher living costs at Anchorage '
Charlie Smith, son of Nr. and I'rs. Bill
Smith, drove over the highway to California.
He made the trip in 11 days, and is now
working there.
