Land Policy
Mi?ton Lichtenwalner, candidate
for the Territorial House of Rep
resentative, charges that the Na
tional and Territorial Republican
Administration has failed in ad
ministration of two vital public
land programs in Alaska.
Lichtenwalner says that the In
terior Department has stripped lo
cal land Office Managers of au
thority to allow homesteads and
has thus crippled the homestead
program in Alaska since last Ju
ly. Expansion of agriculture and
many business ventures depends
on an increasing supply of pri
vately owned lano^ Cutting off
homesteading cuts off economic
opportunity and makes the de
pression worse. •• ,
On the Territorial level Lichten
walner charges the Territorial De
partment of Lands ha^ selected
less than 100 acres of land under
a 1,000,000 acres grant set up by
Congress for the Alaska Mental
Health program. Meanwhile thou
sands of acres of land Alaska
could have had for this program
has been leased for oil and gas
by big Republican businessmen
and bankers under the oil and gas
act.

Governor Meets
With Officials
JUNEAU UPt—Some 40 high ter
ritorial officials met Wednesday
and approved formation of loose
knit council of department and
Agency heads. Gov. Stepovich
called meeting and proposed such
an organization through which ter
ritorial executives may exchange
information about activities and
programs within the various de
partments.
Some Department heads were
not immediately convinced that
monthly meetings were the best
thing. “I’m on enough boards al
ready that require attendance
once a month,” Attorney General
Williams asserted. He thought
quarterly meetings were better.
“The purpose of something of this
kind is not to make decisions, but
to exchange information,” retort
ed Labor Commissioner Benson,
who thought meeting once a
month would be helpful.
The Governor opened the meet
ing to the press, but some of the
territorial leaders didn’t approve
of the id'»n Behson raised the
question first, suggesting infor
mation on future activities be pro
cessed through the Governor’s of
fice. Another official suggested
{meetings be private “so we can
let our hair down.”
