been spent so far in hearings,
with 182 witnesses appearing
j date. She explained written
j might ibe submitted by
.persons who did not testify or
, ally within the next 30 days.
W. W. Knight, on behalf of
the Sitka Chamber of Com
i merce, presented a brief on
statehood, stating he felt the
territory is economically pre
pared for and willing to pay
‘taxes for statehood. He said he
felt a majority of 3-1 of the
adult voting population would,
approve statehood.
! Question of schools was'
I brought to the fore by Charles j
j W. Kidd, who asked retention
, c'f Public Law 874 under which
[the city receives aid for the
impact of children from Mt.
Edgecumbe, and the Alaska
| Public Works, under which it
1 receives matching funds for
j school construction. He point
ed out the need for new high
j school. Mr. Kidd was assured
by the sub-committee that
there was every possibility of
| retaining P. W. 874, also df
more money ds needed in the
opinion of Rep. Chenoweth it
could be gotten. Mr. Bartlett
said, in view of the extension
of APW voted once, he did
have a worry over this.
A revolving fund, with bonds
by municipalities discounted
by the treasury department,
was suggested as a possibility.
Beth !Mr. Bartlett 'and Mr.
Kidd endorsed such a proposal
T. J. Cole, superintendent of
schools, was asked toy the sub
committee his comment on the
proposed closing of Mt. Edge
cumbe school. He apposed such
a plan as economically un
sound and failing to provide
closer integration between Na
tive and white children.
An open letter favoring in
dustrial development of Sit
ka’s (timber resources was pre
sented by Leslie Yaw for the
Chamber of Commerce. It was
signed by 97 business firms
and individuals. Questioning
iby the sub-committee brought
out the availability of money
for financing homes here will
be a problem in the event of
expansion, due to present res
trictions on FHA loan financ
ing, making it too costly for
banks to consider.
Appealing (for aid to get
.$891,000 for a small 'boat har
bor here, Fred Van Horn pre
sented a brief on behalf of the
Chamber of Commerce as well
as a letter from the Northern
Fishing Vessels Owners Assn.
He (pointed out the project had
'been approved since 1045, at
which time the city had voted
a bond issue for their portion.
He was informed by Rep.
Chenowcth there are many
■ other rivers and harbors proj
ects awaiting funds, but the

Romey Moline, proprietor
(bureau of (the budget has al
lowed none of these. Mr. Van
Horn also (pointed out the
statehood (brief submitted by
Mr. Knight did not necessar
ily represent the majority
thinking of members of the
Sitka Chamber of Commerce
who had not recently voted
upon the issue. He stated he
personally favored eventual
statehood “when we can af
ford it.”
'Rep. Utt said, in his opinion
congress should take a new
look at the entire small boat
harbor need in the territory;
the need is great and the a
mount involved is very small.
“I will (be very glad to appeal
to the (bureau of the budget to
consider small boat harbor
problems in Alaska,” he prom
ised. Mr. Bartlett stressed that
it was vital for the community
to agree on the site for the
small boat harbor, if Sitka
hopes to get on top of the list.
“If that is done, I feel sure the!
Corps of Engineers would rank
Sitka very high on the prior- j
ity list,” he stated.
Need for regular passenger
water transportation service
was presented by Mrs. Clar
ence Rands on behalf of the
Chamber of Commerce. i
Representing the Northern
Fishing Vessels Owners Assn.,
Mrs. Myrth Sarvela asked a
survey of waters <xf Southeas
tern Alaska he made by a troll
er, a herring seiner and a bi
ologist from the fisheries of
fice, to determine the amount
of spawn and abundance of
herring. Or that Southeastern
Alaska waters be closed to
herring seining for reduction
purposes 'for five years; or re
strict herring seiners from the
bays and one mile from the
shore. Mrs. Sarvela also favor
ed turning control of fisheries
aver to the territory of Alas
ka, to insure a sufficient a
nount of biological research
to he done on herring and a
better management of all fisher
Les resources.
At this point Mr. Bartlett
took over as chairman of the
bearing.
Warren Christianson pres
ented a Sitka Chamber of
Commerce brief favoring the
Alaska Mental Health bill,
asking the establishment of a
mental health hospital an Alas
ka and favoring Mt. Edge
cumbe as the site of this hos
pital. Also he explained the
bill which Mr. Bartlett had in
troduced (into congress to re
move restriction on land deed
ed by the government to the
City of Sitka. In response to
questioning he said he favor
ed immediate statehood.
Patrick Paul, grand resi
dent of the Alaska Native!
Brotherhood, said that organ -'
ization was working hand-in
hand with the Alaska Native
Service and “We feel that to
withdraw the Alaska Native
Service at the ‘present time
would Ibe a mistake, as we are
not in a position to do without
it, for the reason that territrial
relief cannot support so many
of our destitute families.” He
praised the ANS for doing a
good job and stated he believed
the Klukwan reservation should
be continued.
In response to a question
from Rep. Sisk, he stated the
greatest problem of the Native
people was ‘‘our Native land
i claims, now (pending in con
gress.”
On behalf of the Chamber
of Commerce and acting mayor
Earl Shennett, E. L. Reed pre
sented a -brief. Dan Doyle of
the Central Labor Council,
stated he was unprepared and
would submit a written brief
of labor problems.
J Rep. Sisk asked Mr. Doyle:
I “Do you feel that you have the
j situation adequately in hand
| (on the Japanese proposed pulp
‘ mill) to where, although it is
a foreign concern, it will not
present a problem so far as
labor is concerned?” Mr. Doyle
replied: “We are of the opinion
that it is 100 percent okay.”
Mr. Doyle stated he was in
favor of immediate statehood.
Andrew Hope protested FWS
ignoring the requests and .pleas
of commercial fishermen in set
ting up the regulations, saying
“we have just come through
the worst fishing harvest ever
in Alaska. It has been a disast
er. It tis not a total failure of
fish, it is the management.”
When asked if. he favored turn
ing control of fisheries to the
territory, he replied: “It could
never be worse than now. I
strongly recommend this.”
The hearing adjourned at one
o’clock and the congressional
party left following' lunch for
Petersburg, where a hearing
was scheduled that evening. j
They arrived here Friday
morning and spent most of that
day at Mt. Edgeeumlbe, coming
