An Alaskan Governor?
Local residents are giving much thought and specula
tion as to who may be appointed the next governor of Alaska.
According to Robert Reeve, defeated delegate to Congress,
Dwight Eisenhower will appoint an Alaskan.
Judge George Folta of the First Judicial Division has
been mentioned as a possible candidate in some Republican
circles.
Judge Folta is a well-known Alaskan jurist. During his
tenure in office he has rendered some notable decisions affect
ing the Territory. His opinions have consistently been upheld
by the Ninth Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
He has given his aid to the Third Divsion by going to
Anchorage to assist Judge Anthony Dimond because of the
large number of cases on the Third Division docket.
Among other Alaskans mentioned for the governorship
are Frank Heintzieman and Ralph Lumen. Both are able men.
However, we favor Judge George Folta. He has the
background and experience to make one of Alaska’s best
governors.

United Fishermen of Alaska
Kodiak, Alaska
Gentlemen:
Conditions confront the Sal
mon Industry which are cf
grave concern to your mem
bers, the cannery workers,
and all persons associated with
concerns or companies tnat
furnish supplies, equipment,
service etc.
The overall cost of operations
has been increasing steadily
each year; on the other hand,
'the sale price of t e Canned
Salmon has declined and, to
make this condition more ser
ious, the consumers have beea
gradually shying away from
Canned Salmon primarily due
to the high price.
As you are aware, it was
necessary for us to enter into
a consolidated operation dur
ing the 1952 season and, while
it was possible to bring about
some economies, this was not
enough to provide a reason
able return if there be any
profit at all on our operations
The business life and the
welfare of the people of Cor
dova District depend in a great
measure upon the annual
operation in our section of the
fishing industry.
In such a situation, we are
all vitally concerned. This is
not intended at this time to be
a notice that we wish to term
1 inate or change our agree
ments with the various
Unions;”on the other hand, it
is our duty to bring to your at
:ention the seriousness of this
condition. Also; it is absolutely
necessary that we all approach
this problem in a realistic
manner.
Of course, we wish to carry
on our operations but we can
not finance ourselves unless it
is possible to sell the Canned
Salmon at prices that will pay
the costs. Many other indust
ries are in like condition.
Individually, it is a condition
beyond our control. AVe are not
members of the A.S.I; how
ever, we are competitors of all
other Salmon canners and we
cannot obtain more for our
products in the markets than
applies generally in the in
dustry.
When it becomes known as
to just what must be done to
meet this situation, in our
mutual interest, we sincerely
hope to have your full cooper
tion.
Yours sincerely,
Halferty Canneries, Inc
G.P. Halferty.
Mrs. Burl Clymer is employ
ed at the city market.
