ALASKA UNIVERSITY
RECEIVES VALUED
ERSKINE LIBRARY
The valuable W. J. Erskine li
brary of several thousand volumes
has been presented to the University
of Alaska by D. E. Skinner, general
manager and vice president of the
Alaska Steamship Co., Dr. Terris
Moore, University president, an
nounced today.
The collection is an excellent per
sonal private library, according to
Edward Keithahn, curator of the
Alaska Museum who inspected it
some time ago. He reports that
much of the material is rare and
unique. There are several drawings
by Webber, the artist who accom
panied Capt. Cook on his Alaska
explorations, also large original en
gravings, many unbound books. The
material is historical and ethnolog
ical in content.
“The library is a most valuable
addition to the University collec
tion and we are fortunate to receive
it,” Dr. Moore stated.
Erskine was a trader at Kodiak
for many years and accumulated
the library during his lifetime.
The library is warehoused in
Kodiak at present. It will be in
ventoried by the university, packed
in weather-proof boxes and shipped
to the university. Dedication will
take place at commencement exer
cises in May at which time it is
hoped that Skinner will be present,
according to Dr. Moore. A special
section of the university library will
be made ready to receive the Skin
ner donation.
Fully three-quarters of the library
is in English, although many items
are .in Russia, French and. German.
Many of the documents have nSt
been translated. These old manu
scripts may have th<? answer to
many unsolved'questions in Alaskan
history.
“I feel that the gift of the
library is significant as it opens
the door to much good will between
Seattle and the people of Alaska,”
Dr. Moore said. “In years to come,
many students will profit by the
generosity of Mr. Skinner. It also
gives the University of Alaska an
historical standing It has never had
before.”
News of the gift was received by
a long-distance call from Admiral
F. A. Zuesler, public relations of
ficer of the Alaska Steamship Co.,
kp Dr. Moore here.

TO THE PRESIDENT
OF THE ALASKA SENATE
It is requested that you appoint
a Senate Committee or turn this
letter over to the Investigating
Committee for an answer to the
question whether any collusion ex
ists between Sen. Anita Garnick
and YOURSELF.
Senator Gunnard Engebreth, ac
cording to my files, the following
are reported:
That in 1949 you called at the
home of Albert White and asked
him to get in touch with Senator
Anita Garnick for you; the purpose
j being to secure her vote for you
for President of the Territorial
Senate. She so voted in 1949.
Later, it is reported, that you
introduced a bill to create the of
fice of Deputy Commissioner of
Labor at a salary of $5,400.00 pet
year. Ed Garnick, brother of Sen
ator Anita Garnick, who had no
labor experience, qualifications or
any such earning capacity, was ap
pointed to this position.
In 1951, Senator Anita Garnick
introduced a bill to raise her bro
ther’s salary from $5,400.00 per year
tu $7,500.00 per year (a raise of
nearly $175.00 per month > while
the school teachers and others were
increased only about $25.00 per
month. As I understand it, you vo
ted for this bill.
Now you have before you the Re
organization Bill which would take
away from the people of Alaska
their right to elect their own Trea
surer and Auditor. As written, the
bill places you on the Board of Ad
ministration in place of these elec
ted officials and, of course, in a
much more powerful position.
To my idea, neither you nor Sen
ator Garnick should be permitted
to vote on these bills in which you
have a personal interest.
Albert White, Chairman, Investi
gating Committee.

SENATE FOR
OVERRIDING
VETOED TRIO
(Continued from Page One)
a dozen bills at the flight session.
Pass Dozen Bills
They included (all previously
passed by the House):
Reduction of the General Prop
erty Tax on fishing boats from $4 to
$2 a net ton; granting police pow
ers to civilian defense authorities;
increasing aid to dependent chil
dren to $70 monthly from $53.
The Senate killed two labor-spon
sored bills by failure to suspend
rules to advance them to final pas
sage before the deadline.
One proposed figuring experience
rating credits in computing employ
er’s contributions under the unem
ployment compensation law — an
$800,000 issue now before the courts
—and the other proposed allowing
seasonal wage credits under unem
ployment compensation for season
Industry workers who earn 20 per
cent of their wages outside the in
dustry.
The Senate also rejected a House
bill to allow the Welfare Depart
ment to contract with the, Alaska
Native Service for care of native
indigents.
The House tabled a Senate-ap
proved bill for creation of a land
department under the tax commis
sioner for registration of all Alaska
lands.
The government Financial Reor
ganization Bill was slated as a spe
cial order of business in the Senate
this afternoon.
Slum Clearance
The Senate In the Iinai nour
completed legislative approval for
the Alaska Housing Authority Bill
enabling slum and blighted area
clearance, bond issues and power of
eminent domain. It tabled a bill for
licensing real estate brokers.
The governor’s second veto (his
first of two yesterday) also involves
mortgages. It would extend from
one to wo years the time in which
renewal affidavits for chattel mort
gages can be filed after the date
the mortgage became due.

state of suspense concerning their
claims."
Both Houses passed the bill unan
imously originally.
The Senate passed 11 bills at an
afternoon session, All previously had
passed the House.
The Senate passed, 11-5, a bill to
repeal the Territory’s Public Em
ployes Retirment Act to allow em
ployes to go under Federal Social
Security instead. It involved a long
controversy.
An amendment was added yester
day for the Territory to provide
benefits for long-time employes who
will become eligible fof retirement
jnder the bill in the next five years,
and who wouldn’t have a chance tc
build up Social Security credits.
Differences
A difference of legal opinion de
veloped over whether Territoria
employes were assured of getting
into the Social Security setup un
der a previous measure, Senate Bil
33. Attorney General J. Gerald Wil
liams advised that the use of the
word “may" instead of “shall jeo
pardized the act.
So Senator MacKenzie introduce:'
a quickie bill to amend it and it
went through both Houses before
the midnight bells tolls, although
the Senate first turned it down
Some of the senators were piqued
because Anita Garnick and Frank
Barr had warned during the after
noon that there was a legal loop
hole. After some lecturing about
misplaced “spirit of levity" about
the situation, a second vote brought
the necessary two-thirds to admit
the bill.
The Senate passed, 13-2. a bill to
modify the bounty on hair seals
which ran up a $200,000 deficit dur
ing the present biennium. The bill
cuts the bounty from $6 to S3 and
eliminates the vast Northern Eskimo
area where there are no salmon
runs for the seals to prey on.
The bill eliminated all the area
north of Kruzenstern, which is
slightly above Kotzebue. It eliminat
ed all the Arctic Ocean area, islands
in the Bering Sea and the coastal
area between the north side of
Bristol Bay and Stebbins along the
Bering seacoast.
Other bills passed by the Senate
included a $50,000 appropriation for
the taxation department; and a bill
to put on the next general election
ballot the question of whether the
people want the Territory to take
over full control of Alaska fisheries
from Federal agencies.
ENIWETOK IS
SCENE OF NEW
MQMIC TEST
WASHINGTON. March 21 — (#)—
The Atomic Energy Commission in
dicates it is now conducting new
atomic blasts at Eniwetok.
The commission said in a state
ment that a major project “is be
ing carried out” at the super-secret
Pacific Island test grounds.
“In order to assure the safety
of vessels and aircraft operating
in the Central Pacific, only units
of the (testing) task force are per
mitted within the danger area
around Eniwetock Atoll," the state
ment added.
Asked directly if new atomic blast
tests are being conducted, commis
sion officials said they could add
nothing to the statement.
The commission had previously
announced that further tests would
be held at Eniwefok.
While today’s announcement did
not flatly say the blasts were act
ually underway, the language indi
cated as much.
The announcement said the new
series of tests include provisions for
measuring the effects of atomic
blasts “on structures and materials
of various kinds” and declared:
“This information will be made
available to the Civil Defense Ad
ministration.”
The “testing season” at Eniwetok
—from the standpoint of the weath
er — begins late in March.
