By BOB I)F ARMONI)
(Eleventh of a Series)
More than 500 bills were intro
duced in the House of Represent
atives of the 82nd Congress on its
opening day, .1 musry :i.
Several of them were introduced
by Delegate Kdward Lewi Bartlett j
of Alaska, including one to provide
for control of Alaska's fisheries—
except seal and sea otter fisheries
by the Ter; ■ ry.
The control of the fishi vies by

statehood bilk now in C.or : S
50, introduced in the Senate on
January 8 bv Senator O'Mahoney
for himself and 17 other Senator
H. R. 14S3 intuiduie'd on Janua'
15 by Dele ate Bartlett.
At or about the same time, Sen- I
ator Butler introduced a bill t I
provide fr.r the election the Gov
ernor of Maska.
This matter is also taken care o
in the two statehood bills mentioned
above.
Territori .l control of the iisheri
has been advocated by many group,
and individuals.
An elective governor has also been
advocated by many Alaskans.
But Delegate Bartlett sees in
Senator Butler’s bill for an elective
governor only an effort to bits'
'statehood.
He apparent I- sea n. r; a li
ment to statehood in his own iisli
erie.s control bill
Much has been said and writ! ;
about the underprivileged Alaskan
who ronnot vote for President and
who cannot vote for President ant!
has been said about another pri. -
ilege Alaskans are lacking—ele tin
one of their number as governor.
Delegate Bartlett has indicated
that he will oppose the Butier bill
to give Alaskans this privilege.
This clearly indicates that it is
the Intention of our Deles tie that
Alaskans are to be granted the var
ious privileges of full citizenship
only if those privileges can be kept
in tight rein by the present ap
pointive governor and his adminis
tration.
Should a statehood bill be approv
ed by the present st -don of Con
gress, the special bills for fisher
ies control and an elective governor,
’would, of course, be unnecessary.
But the statehood bills clearly do
not have a smooth road ahead, and
passage of the Butler Biil would
meanwhile assure Alaskans some in
crease in stature as citizens.
Somehow or other the Territory
has received no mention of its part
in the snow removal program that
kept Thompson Pass and other
parts of toe Richardson Highway
open to traffic last winter.
The Alaska Road Commission and
Alaska Freight Lines, Inc., coop
erated on the job, according to a
statement by Col. John R. Noye
of tne Road Commission. The
trucking outfit, which performed
most of the work in the pass itself,
was assisted by the Territory to
the extent of $10,000. This was paid
from the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, ac
cording to vouchers in ttys Auditor's
office in Juneau.
There seems to be no scarcity of
candidates for tin' office ol Ter
ritorial Auditor, which will be
filled by an election held by the
Legislature sometime before .March
22.
Among those mentioned around
the legislative halls as definite or
possible candidates are Neil Moore,
the present Acting Auditor! Jam.
G. Pinkerton of Ketchikan, Albert
Goeiz of Douglas, former Senator
Frank Peratrovich of Klawock
Archie Betts of Juneau. Harry
De Land, of the Employment Secur
ity office; H. E. Brown, Anchorage
i postmaster, and, possibly, R. E.
Sheldon, present head of Employ
ment Security.
An old! liner around l ie Legisla
ture is one who can remember

i solid Republican delegation to Ju
neau. The last time that happened
was in 1927 and the members were

Senate.
work in excess ui -»u hours in a
week. Exempt from these provisions
are baby-sitters and part-time work
by paper delivery boys, errand boys
and such other types of part-time
employment. Also exempt is full
time employment of aged or part
ially disabled persons as may be au
thorized by the Territorial Com
missioner of Labor.
Benefit Fund
Rep. Carlson’s other bill would
create a special fund for the care
of sick and disabled fishermen, ad
ministered by a board of seven
members.
Into the fund would go 40 per
cent of receipts from commercial
fishermen’s licenses, including
clam-diggers’ licenses.
The board would consist of the
Commissioner of Labor as chair
men, Commissioner of Health, Com
missioner of Taxation and four li
censed commercial fishermen ap
pointed by the governor.
Maximum benefits for one per
son would be $2,5C0 for medical
care, hospitalization and such other
care as might be necessary.
Leave for Reserves
A bill introduced by Rep. Vernon
Metcalfe by request would provide
up to 16’a days leave each year for
Territorial and municipal officials
and employees who are members of
a reserve component of the U. S.
i Armed Forces. This leave, without
lie; ; of pay, time or efficiency rating,
j would permit reservists to engage in
! field exercises.
; The bill also provides that Tes
1 ritorial or municipal employees who
; are called to duty shall be reem
j ployed when they return.
I’ay Bill Passed
The House this morning unani
mously passed H.J.R. No. 1 to ap
I propriate $124,601 to pay the ex
| penses of the Legislature. A few
brief amendments were made tc
| clarify the wording of the measure,
| Rep. Doris Barnes asked whether
j the Secretary of the Senate would
be paid for the same number ol
j days as the Chief Clerk of the
House, since the Senate Secretarj
was not elected until the fourth
day of the session,
j Rep. Glen Franklin explained that
'he Senate Secretary was busy dur
, ing the four days, even though she
had not been elected.
Also passed unanimously wa:
I Rep. Carlson’s memorial requestint
i a Congressional appropriation ol
1 $2,000,000 for construction of a roac

! House eliminated an additional re

Printing Report
1 The Committee on Printing re
I ported this morning that it had con
i ducted a hearing and received ai
opinion from the Attorney Gen
eral on the matter of contracts fo
printing the journals of the Housi
' and Senate and the session laws.
In a letter addressed to the Aud
itor, a copy of which was attache!
to the report, the committee ap
proved the contract with the Empir
l ___

lurk poiish up t'cfr marksmanship with carbines on the title range at Fort Uannlton. Brookiyn.
Printing Company for printing the
journals.
It was felt by the committee, the
letter said, that the contract for
printing the session laws should be
cancelled and new bids called, or
the contract should be let to the
lowest bidder.
Two bids had been submitted, one
by the Empire Printing Co. of Ju
neau, the other by the Journal
Printing Co. of Ketchikan. The
Auditor had let the contract to the
higher of the two bidders, the Em
pire. He told a reporter that he
did this because of a clause in the
contract calling for return of
printed advance sheets within 4fi
hours after the copy leaves the of
fice of the Secretary of Alaska'.
Neil Moore, Auditor, said he be
lieves it is impossible for a printer
outside of Juneau to meet these
conditions and thus rejected the
lower bid.
The matter is now being studied
by the Attorney General.
Waives Special Privilege
Rep. Stanley McCutcheon of An
chorage, who last week asked for
special privilege of the floor at 3
p.m. tomorrow, this morning an
nounced that he is waiving the spe
cial privilege.
The House adjourned just before
noon, to reconvene at 10:30 tomor
row morning.
