WASHINGTON <JP> —The major
problem of Alaska is put in two
words—cat eh in <4 up—bv Sen. Er
nest Omening.
“Alaska, which suffered through
92 years of neglect before state
hood. must get moving to achieve
equal footin': with the other
states.” Gruening said on his re
turn to Washington after being
elected to a full 6-year term.
He considers electrical nower
the key to transforming industry
poor Alaska into a state that can
utilize its vast supply of natural
resources.
“Power and industry are insep
arable.” said Gruening, who noted
that even in its present under
industrialized condition the state is
already facing power shortages.
Gruening cited the Bradley
Lake and Snettisham hydroelectric
projects as important steps but he
sees the huge Rampart Dam pro
posed for the Yukon River as the
most important future power
source.
Preliminary studies on the proj
thinks one more anpropriation will
bo needed for studies and hopes
some construction money can be
obtained in a couple of years.
Alaska also needs better hous- i
ing, schools, a highway system and
small boat harbors. Gruening said,
adding be intends to press for pro
gress in these areas under exist
ing programs such as area rode
velonmcnt and accelerated public
works.
“I am hoping this Congress will
pass an aid to education bill. I
think we can get it through the
Senate but the problem lies in the ;
House,” he said.
Gruening plans to re-introduce
a bill to establish a fund for direct i
grants to states for fishery devel- j
opment and conservation pro- 1
grams.
“I am also going to do mv best
to find a remedy for the gold sit
uation,” he said. “I think it’s
shocking to see how much our gold
supply is being depleted while the
gold mining industry is in de
cline.”
In the last session of Congress
he sponsored a bill that would

FISH STORY . . .
AUCKLAND, New Zeland </P> —
U.S. Commerce Secretary Luther
Hodges told an Antarctic fish
story on himself today.
Earlier this week, he said, he
was sitting in a rocking chair,
smoking a pipe in a room warmed
to 75 degrees — with a line dang
ling through a hole in the ice. He
got a bite, pulled in a five-inch
fish — it was “about that big."
he said —- and plunked it in a
bucket of water. The fish died in
five minutes, Hodges said, because
the water was too warm.
Hodges accompanies U.S. Am
bassador A. B. Akers to Taupo
tomorrow — for trout fishing.
have created subsidies to stimulate
gold mining — a double barreled
effort to boost the industry and
at the same time pump up the na
tion's gold reserves.
Looking ahead to 1067, the hun
dredth anniversary of the acquisi
tion of Alaska, Gruening said he
will explore the possibility of set
ting up a centennial commission
and an exposition with federal
participation.
noi nougn campaigning
Asked if his vigorous election ;
campaign had worn him down, the ;
75-year-old senator replied:
“There's nothing rough about
campaigning. It’s a stimulating,
self-charging endeavor. You make
new friends and renew acquaint
ance with old friends. I feel better
right now than when I started.”
Attesting to Gruening’s vigor
are a full office schedule that keeps
his staff hopping and plans to take
off on a six-week foreign aid in
spection tour of the Middle East
for the Government Operations
Committee.
The tour starting Nov. 23 is
tentatively scheduled to cover
Greece, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon,
Iran and Iraq.
“We want to see how effectively
our dollars are being used, to
check into waste and look for ways
to economize,” Gruening said.
Gruening will also undoubtedly
pick up ammunition for his con
tinuing campaign against what he
terms a foreign and domestic
double standard—the rejection of
domestic programs while similar
and more expensive ones are fin
anced in foreign lands.
