The Senator was particularly
critical of Vice-president Richard
Nixon, who, he said, has not given
any thought to Alaska and its prob
lems. “Do you want to vote into
power a man who is against any
hydro-electric power projects in
the West and Alaska? Do you want
to elect a man who has proven
hmself against any assisttance to
depressed areas? or one who does
n’t think the government should
(have any housing policy at all.
This is the man,” he said, “who
cast the tie vote defeating the bill
to raise teacher’s salaries.”
Refering to foreign aid Bart
lett 3aid the program has grown
like Topsy. “It is time it be re
evaluated, with some significant
changes to be made.” he said. “Is
all well in Cuba, in Latin Ameri
ca?” he asked. He was critical of
the Eisenhower government, who,
he said, has “'lingered when we
should not have dallied.” He said
the Administration seems to have
no policy in regards to Red China.
“Our allies have become restive
and disturbed,” he said.
Bartlett stated he detects a
Democratic surge throughout the
country and the State. He called
on his listeners to vote for
“vigorous leadership, the kind
that John Kennedy can provide.”
We need to lift the veil to a new
frontier, he said.
Rep. Rivers, who spoke prior
to Bartlett, reviewed legislation
passed during the Congressional
sessions since statehood, including
the omnibus bill, matching funds
for roads land acqusLtion, etc. He
said he and the other members
from Alaska fouight for the State’s
right to take over the responsibili
ties of managing its own affairs.
“$4 million was saved in highway
funds, he said. Other legislation
aiding Alaska which Rep. Rivers
sponsored or supported were air
port extension aid, putting the
Alaska Railroad under ICC author
ity, doubling the maximum oil and
gas leasing acreage allowed to
any one leaseholder, implement
ing a shrimp industry study by
the U.S. Tariff Commission.
Sen. A1 Owen provided a back
ground on the fisheries and other
legislation in the old Territorial
Legislature, which he said Sen.
Bartlett as Secretary of State and
Rep. Rivers as Attorney General
had a hand in making into law.
The senator commented on the
improved economy of the Kodiak
area, due largely to the state tak
ing over the fisheries, he said.
“Petersburgh has long enjoyed the
reputation of being the wealthiest
town in Alaska,” he said, “but
Kodiak kill move into thait posi
tion. This is no boom or bust ec
onomy—just a solid, substantial
gain—we’re on the way.” Mobile
gear fishing has been a great gain
for all the island villages, he said.
Helen Fischer, Democratic Oom
mitteewoman for Alaska, in her
speech, pointed out what Alaska
has accomplished during its 22
months of statehood. Reorganiz
ing the departments of state gav
emment alone has resulted in sav
ings of $2 million a year, she said.
“Statehood didn’t give us a golden
apple, but it did provide us with
the tools with which to work.
“She urged support of the bond
issue for the ferry.
Sen. Irene Ryan, in a moving

at the

speech, declared that since Alas
kans, won “our equity to all the
resources of Alaska, they are only
ours to use and to build for our
children. There is oil flowing, gas
to be produced, fish in our seas,
mines to be developed and a forest
potential. Statehood has brought
us the right to these things. It is
our responsibility to develop them.
Declaring that the only reason
he is running again, is to push
through legislation for the ferry
r
system linking Kodiak with Homer
and Anchorage, Rep. Pete Deveau
visioned the benefits to Kodiak’s
economy in increased tourist trade
and many other benefits. He re
viewed the development of the
king crab and shrimp industry,
which he said, has brought a year
round economy to the Kodiak area.
These were largely developed by
local people, he sad. “The ferry
would be the biggest boost to our
economy that Kodiak has ever

Gil Jarveia, in a short speech,
stated he would make no campaign
promises, but if elected, will serve
with dignity, integerity and truth
to the best of his ability.
