The committee re. wrt was adopted
without objection md the chair
had so announced when Rep. Sc..v
enius raised an objection.
He pointed to Rep. Laws as :
“sworn enemy of r 'atehood" he said
he did not believe "'ep. Laws should
be on the commit; th
Rep. Conright sa» \ there had to
be two sides to every question and
Rep. StepovicU hotly asserted that
every member o.' the House had a
right to sit on committees without
regard to his personal beliefs.
Speaker Egan ruled Rep. Scav
enius out of order, Rep. Franklin
appealed the ruling and the chair
was sustained, ending the matter.
Civilian Defense
A standing Committee on Civilian
Defense was voted unanimously
after considerable discussion. The
original motion by Rep. Kay called
for a “Committee on Defense,” but
an amendment by Rep. Hendrick
son to insert the word "Civilian’
was adopted 15-6. The vote on the
original motion was unanimous.

and receive a salary of $7,200 a

The Superintendent of Police

be given it.
At noon the House recessed until |
2 pin., today.
Parliamentary Snarl
The first parliamentary snarl of
the session came in the House dur
ing the afternoon session yesterday.
It followed a motion by Rep. Jack
. Vavrnius of Anchorage to create a
new standing committee to be !
named Committee on Statehood |
and Defense. The motion was sec- I
ended by Rep. Wendell Kay, also of j
Anchorage.
Rep. Doris Barnes of Wrangell |
protested that although there is |
presently great interest in both1
statehood and defense, the two j
should not be mixed together in j
one committee because they are two '
entirely different things.
Itep. Barnes suggested that state- ]
hood matters can be handled by the j
Alaska Statehood Committee, ere- i
ated by the Legislature two years
ago, and that defense matters can j
lie handled by one of the standing j
| committees of the House or by the j
House as a Committee of the Whole, j
Taiya Project Cited
Rep. Wendell Kay thought the j
two w’ere very closely connected. He
j cited the Taiya Project to build an i
1 aluminum plant at Skagway and j
aid the project may have been 1
turned down by the War Materials
Board on the grounds that the
plant would be located in an inde- j
fensible area.
This would not happen. Rep. Kay :
! said, if Alaska had two Senators in |
Washington.
When there is so much emphasis !
on national defense, he added, the <
House should have a special com
mittee to handle defense problems, i
Rep. Glen D. Franklin of Fair- 1
banks moved to lay the matter on j
the table until today and, after this |
i had been debated at some length, j
Rep. Jack Conright of Anchorage j
I moved the previous question.
This motion brought on the snarl,
which Speaker Egan referred to the |
: Rules Committee.
I
Committee Reversed
The Rules Committee reported
back that a vote should be taken i
as to whether tlio previous question '
should be called.
Speaker Bill Egan reversed this
decision by announcing that since
a motion to lay on the table was
undebatable, he would call for a
vote on that motion.
The motion carried 16-6, w’ith two
absent. Reps. Carlson, Gundersen.
Kay. Metcalfe, Scavenius and the j
Speaker voted against the motion (
and the question was tabled until
j this morning.
Permanent chairmen of several
Standing Committees were an
nounced during yesterday's session,
as follows;
Rep. Vern Metcalfe, Committee
on Veterans’ Legislation.

(Ninth of a Series)
Although a proposed Water Code
for Alaska will probably not be
introduced at this session ol the
Legislature, a second revised draft
has been approved by the Alaska
Field Committee of the Department
of the Interior and the matter is
by no means dead.
Kenneth J. Kadow, chairman of
Lite Field Committee, said the bill
is not likely to be introduced in the
Legislature “until such time as
there ft a need and demand for it."
Who is to determine the ‘.'need
and demand” is not stated and re
mains as vague as some parts of
the proposed law itself.
For example, the revised draft,
dated January 3, 1951, states:
‘The Administrator shall have gen
sral supervision of the measure
ment, appropriation, and distribu
tory.” His salary is fixed at $7,500
tion of the waters of the Terri
\ year and he is authorized to em
ploy such additional assistants and
to purchase such materials, equip
ment and supplies as he believes
necessary to perform his duties.
The proposed bill, however, doe ;
not say whether the Administrator
is to be elected, appointed or pick
ed in a bathing beauty contest. Nor
loes the proposed bill contain one
single word about the qualifications
jf this proposed water czar.
The little Southeast Alaska city
rf Wrangell, next to Sitka the old
est settlement in southern Alaska,
,his year sent its second Senator
to the Territorial Legislature and
the first since 1931, when the late
Charles Benjamin served a term
in the upper House.
The new Senator from Wran
gell, is Democrat James Nolan, a
tall, slender, Boston-born 30-ycai
Labor, Capital and Immigration;
Committee on Fisheries, Fish and
Game.
Rep. Jack D. Conright, Commit
tee on Elections, Election Laws and
Mileage.
Rep. Glen D. Franklin, Commit
tee on Ways and Means.
Rep. Ed Locken, Committee on
Printing and Purchasing.
Rep. Mike Stepovich, Committee
on Municipal Affairs.
Rep. George Miscovich,' Commit
tee on Mining and Manufacturing.
Rep. W. W. Laws, Committee on
Territorial Institutions.
In addition, Rep. Doris Barnes
was placed on th» Committee or
Education instead of Rep. Metcalfi
who was put on the Committee on
Labor, Capital and Immigration. .
Communications Read
Two communications addressed
to the House were ru:.d:
A telegram from W. L. Baker of
Ketchikan, protesting the letting of
a contract on printing the House
Journal, asserting that his bid was
lower and asking for consideration.
The matter was referred to the
Committee on Printing and Pur
chasing.
A letter from R. P. Sharp, An
chorage City Manager, asked that
consideration be given to changing
the date of Municipal Elections to
the second Tuesday of October so
they would coincide with General
Elections. This would, he thought,
tend to draw more voters to the
polls. The letter was referred to the
Committee on Elections.
The House adjourned shortly be
fore 5 p.m., to reconvene at 10
o’clock this morning.
i, ident of Southeast Alaska who
conics to the Senate with two
House terms behind him and after
j a hard election fight.
Oil October 8, 1946. when the
First Division elected four Demo
crats and four Republicans to the
House. Nolan received the next to
> the highest vote among the 16 can
i didates.
He served on the Way and
Means and the Fish and Game
Committees and was co-author oi a
net income tax bill that passed the
House handily enough but bogged
down in the Senate.
Re-elected in 1943, Nolan was
I named Speaker of the House foi
the special session of 1949 and
chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee in the regular session.
He also served on the Banking,
the Rules and the Judiciary Com
mittees, nil strenuous assignments.
tViv.s Two Flections
/-n acme, ot o: uie Jeffersonian
or coi..'" ativt vdng oi the Demo
cratic Party, Jim Nolan faced two
hard elections in 1950 and received
little . import from Governor Om
enin':, Delc-iate Bartlett and a size
able s 'gment of his party. In spite
of thi 'or perhaps because of it),
and aid’d by the fact that only
one Republican ran in the Senate
primary, Nolan topped the field of
four with 3.380 votes out of 6,143
cast in the First Division.
In the torrid General Election
of last October, Nolan ran neck
and neck with Republican Elton
Engstrom of Juneau and defeated
Democrat Frank Peratrovich of
Klawock to take the seat.
Born at Boston on June 23. 19C1,
Jim Nolan worked for the American
Can Company as a lithographer for
three and a half years after he
finished school and came to Alaska
in the fall of 1920.
He worked for the Vern(ynt
Marble Company, then operating
a quarry at Tokeen in the Wrangell
district, and also fished and work
ed in canneries before he opened
an ice cream and confectionary
business at Wrangell in 1924. Sum
mertimes he went salmon seining
or engaged in other work and in
spare time he made something of
a reputation as a baseball player.
Married Wrangell Girl
With Jim at Juneau for the 60
ciay session is his pretty and vivac
ious wife, the former Elsie Sylves
ter, born in Wrangell and the
laughter of one of Alaska’s pio
neer sawmill men. The celebrated
their 25th wedding anniversary
ast July.
In 1934 Nolan was appointed
deputy United States Marshal at
Wrangell and he served in that
position until 1945. In 1941 he
bought the Wrangell Drug Co., and
has built it into a sizeable merch
andising establishment which he
still operates.
Nolan served on the Wrangell
City Council for a number oi
years and also for a good many
years as a member of the Demo
cratic Divisional Committee, oi
which he is now chairman.
In two sessions of the House Jinn
Nolan proved himself a capable
hand at the legislative drudgery of
committee work, and much of the
burden may be expected to fall
on his shoulders in this year’s Sen
ate, a Senate that is unusually
short of men who can do the
spadework necessary to law-mak
ing procedure.
