GOP Looks Closely
At $700,000 Rural
Appropriation
JUNEAU UP> — Robert Hoffman,
Director of the State Rural De
velopment Division, said Monday
the disaster fishing season predict
ed for Bristol Bay this year will
cause a heavy drain on his agency’s
funds.
Hoffman made the comment in
testimony before the Joint Senate
House Finance Committee on com
panion bills which would provide
the Rural Development Division
with $700,000 during the period
ending June 30, 1963.
One of the bills, ?B244, would
make a supplemental appropriation
of $200,000 for the State Rural De
velopment, disaster and depressed
area program for the balance of
fiscal 1926.
The second measure, SB245,
would appropriate $500,000 for the
program during fiscal 1963. Gcv.
Wm. Egan asked for an appropria
tion of $200,000 for fiscal ’63.
Hoffman said his agency had set
little aside for Bristol Bay during
fiscal 1962, “but we expect to have
a number of projects going on the
Bay next year because of the dis
aster season predicted.”
Hoffman said the program was
not a welfare program, but a pro
gram to provide needed public
works in communities where the
economy was depressed.
Rep. Harold Strandberg a mem
ber of the House Finance Commit
tee, and Bruce Kendall, both Re
publicans, questioned H of f m a n
closely about the origin of the two
bills, which were introduced by 12
of the 13 Senate Democrats.
Sen. Frank Peratrovich one of
the prime sponsors of the two bills,
told the committee:
“The need for this program, at
least in the first division, cannot
be aeiuea. The money » not going
down the drain. I don’t think this
program should be continued inde
finitely, but it is needed now.” .
Peratrovich said he protested
strongly any inference that the
Rural Development appropriation
was a political fund. When the two
bills were introduced, Republicans
issued a statement saying they
were designed to create a campaign
year slush fund.
Sen. Howard Bradshaw another
prime sponsor of the two hills, ad
dressing his remarks to Kendall,
said any member of the legislature
has the right to introduce appropri
ation bills benefitting his specific
area. .. ,
He said the Finance Committee
only recently had included, at the
request of Anchorage Republicans,
a $1 million item in the appropri
ation bill for a new school at
Chugiak. ‘ i ,

Senate Approves

Development
JUNEAU m — The Senate
changed its mind yesterday and
gave approval to a bill, HB283,
establishing a new State Depart
ment of Economic Development
and Planning. The vote was 13-7.
The Senate had turned thumbs
down on the measure Monday, 6-12,
but it was brought up again today

by Sen. Howard Pollock follow
ing Monday’s vote.
In arguments before final pas
sage, Sen. John McNees, said cre
ation of the new department was
recommended by the consulting
firm of Arthur D. Little, Inc.
Sen. A1 Owen who led opposi
tion to the measure, told the Senate
that the recommendation by the
Arthur D. Little firm was to be
expected.
“They are interested only in
building up their own business and
they can do so by building up gov
ernment,” Owen said.
He insisted that the work to be
done by the new department, the
15th department of state govern
ment including the Office of the
Governor, was being handled ade
quately under the present organi
zation.
The new department would con
sist of the Division of Planning and
Research, the Division of Industrial
Development and the Alaska Travel
Division. It would incorporate the
work of the present Division of
Tourism and Economic Develop
ment and the Division of State
Planning.
Sen. W. O. Smith told the Senate
that after the bill was killed Mon
day, he received assurances from
Gov. Wm. Egan that the adminis
tration favored passage of the bill
and creation of the new depart
ment.

MEMBERS OF CENTRAL
COMMITTEE WOULD BE
ELECTED IN PRIMARY
JUNEAU m — Members of Dis
trict and State Central Committees
of both political parties would be
elected by a vote of the people
during primary elections under the
terms of a measure, SB147, which
passed the House 25-15 Tuesday,
The bill, which was introduced
by Sen. W. O. Smith, (D-Ketchikan),
now goes back to the House for
action on House amendments.
Before final House approval, the
lawmakers beat back attempts to
table the measure and postpone ac
tion on it indefinitely.
Opponents argued that the bill
tampered with existing party organ
ization.
“For the first time in my life,”
said Republican Rep. Wm. Board
man of Ketchikan, “I received a
communication from the Ketchikan
Democratic Precinct Committee —
and they’re against this.”
The measure’s backers, however,
argued that the people should have
a chance to vote for their party
representatives.
