Bartlett Asks Removal
of Immigration
Screening Need
Delegate Bartlett’s first act
after being sworn in as a mem
ber of the 83rd Congress which
convened on January 3 was to
intro luce a bill to remove the
requirement for immigration
screening of all persons travel
ling from Alaska to the contin
ental United States.
The requirement, included in
the Immigration «nd Nationality
Act passed by the Congress last
year over President Truman's
veto, went into effect December
24. The section of the law to
which Alaskans have vigorously
objected requires that aliens
travelling from Alaska, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands
and Guam must be examined be
fore entering the continental
United States, which, in effect,
requires the examination oi citi
zens as well.
Opponents of this section, in
cluding Delegate Bartlett, have
pointed out that immigration
laws operate in Alaska and the
other territories and possessions
in the same way as in the States
and that no alien can enter un
less he has met every require
ment for entry into the States.
The resentment of Alaskans
and residents of the other areas
concerned is justified, according
to the members of the commis
sion appointed by President Tru
man to study the law passed over
his veto. “This discrimination . . .
seems to be unsound,” the report
concluded in its section dealing
with this subject. "In view of the
critical importance to the se
curity of the United States, of
Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the
RELEASE NEW CLOVER
“Alaskland.” a new mammoth
red clover variety, is to be re
leased to Alaska farmers this
spring according to the Agron
omy Department of the Alaska
Agricultural Experiment Station.
The new variety is the first har
dy legume to be released to Al
askan farmers by the Experi
ment Station. It consistently has
survived in excellent stands at
tiie Fairbanks Station and has
given satisfactory survival in
most tests conducted at the Mat
anuska Station.
REIMBURSEMENTS SOUGHT
C.i GOLD CLAIMS
A number of claims have been
filed with the Court of Claims
seeking reimbursement for losses
sustained through a World War
II closure order against gold
mines and gold placer operations.
The suits were made possible
through passage last year-by the
Congress of a bill permitting
such suits. The law is effective
until July 14 of this year.
RECOMMENDS REVISION
OF PUBLIC LAND LAWS
The House subcommittee which
visited Alaska and the West
Coast last fall to study public
land laws has recommended that
there be a sweeping revision of
the laws adapted to Alaska’s
needs and an advisory group se
lected to aid the House Interior
and Insular Affairs Committee
in such work.
