State To Support
Bartlett’s Alien
Ship Seizure Bill
Hearings will be held in Wash
ington Sept. 5 on Senator Bartlett’s
bill providing fine up to $10,000 or
imprisonment up to a year, or both
for foreign fishery intrusion in
territorial waters of United States.
Senator Bartlett will hold hearings
before Senate Subcommittee Mer
chant Marine and Fisheries of
Commerce committee.
‘‘State support for federal as
sistance in emphasizing American
jurisdiction over these waters
should be most helpful,” Senator
Bartlett stated, “And I am pleased
that Deputy Commissioner Edward
S. Marvich of State Department of
Fish and Game will testify in sup
port of legislation.”
Bartlett introduced the bill early
in August following sightings in
July of a number of Japanese and
Russian fishing vessels within one
and a half miles of Alaska’s coast.
“Federal laws are wholly inade
quate to deal with these increasing
incidents,” Bartlett stated. “It is
essential that federal government
be given power to back up efforts
of states to provide imperative
deterrent to foreign intrusions.”

Thoughts On
Our Council has wisely hired ex
perts in city planning to study
every facet of municipal life in
Kodak, past and present, upon
which to base well-thought-out
conclusions of future needs. After
all the facts were in hand and with
the knowledge gained from othei
similar communities throughout
the world, these specialists have
printed for us all facts, with many
charts and figures to show us the
possibilities for such a city as we
want, and the practical means of
gaining <such objectives by 1980.
I trust that every citizen will
study this excellently prepared
plan (it can be purchased at the
City Hall for a very nominal price)
and insist that their City Council
prepare the proper enactments to
put the plan in force, and then
watchfully note that a follow-up
is made on each phase of the pro
gram until we have the Utopia ,n
Kodiak to match our unsurpassed
scenic surroundings.
Let us build for the future. Let

us have one of the most talked
about spots for gracious living in
the entire world. We do not need
to change all of our winding streets
that have such a charm of their
own. The planners have seen to
this and have called for a creation
of charm plus utility in the busi
ness section, containing a mall and
shopping centers and scenic ap
proaches to a Near Island bridge,
to the Ferry Terminal and to the
Naval Base, with through-streets
where they can be of the most
good in the flow of traffic.
In anticipating the gradual com
pletion of these ultimate plans,
there is much that we can all do
beginning now. We have many
buildings which will fit into the
new plans and they should re
ceive new coats of paint. Windows
should be kept clean and window
displays in the stores arranged
with taste. We need to keep rub
bish off the streets and piles of
debris and lumber and what-not
out of sight. Above all, we need
a civic pride that will stimulate
us to do all of these things and
permit us to see other ways to
bring beauty to our city.
It can be done. Let’s do it.
