“The treasurer’s records do not
indicate any subsequent collection
ot the balance of $17,292 or the
$1,500 returned check."
Letter Quoted
Williams quoted a letter from
Webb, in which he expressed sur
prise. Webb wrote that he had sent
in all his stamps at the time he
closed his accounts. He said he was
“stunned” later when he got a bill
for them. He wrote that both he
and his wife had incomes so there
was no plausible reason for any
stamp money irregularity.
Grand Jury Report
The attorney general also told
the senators out of a clear sky
that he expects to collect $4,350
from the company that bonded Ar
chie L. Brown, former deputy tax
collector at Anchorage.
A grand jury heard evidence last
year involving alleged borrowing
of $555 of territorial money by
Brown, for which there was res
titution. It gave him a clean bill
and lauded his services.
Williams spoke caustically of the
grand jury action and said "I
thought before I got out I was go
ing to be indicted myself.”
“Of course he may be innocent,
but after an auditor completed work
on his accounts, the tax commis
sioner found what apfiears to be
a $4,350 additional shortage.
Williams said the last listed ad
dress he had for Brown was in
Georgia.

YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE BECAUSI IT’S HARKENED TO YOU
AND YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS
Probably you’ve never thought of
yourself as a maker of history.
But you are. And here is how you, as
a citizen of the United States, are
creating the greatest success in all
history.
Remember back in 1941 when the
Defense Bonds you were buying sud
denly had to become War Bonds? How
you and your neighbors pitched in to
buy them in ever-increasing numbers,
to back our fighting men and to help
achieve the victory of World War II?
After V-J Day, when those bonds
became Savings Bonds, you continued
to buy them because you had learned
bow regular saving could build secu
rity and contentment for yourself and
those you love.
The face of the land has undergone
some dramatic changes in those years
since V-J Day. Now the landscape is
dotted with new homes that Savings
Bonds built. Thousands upon thou
sands of new automobiles travel the
highways—Savings Bonds cars, bought
with the product of individual thrift.
Qu the farms, Bond-purchased equip
merit has helped produce bumper crops
and prosperous years. Everywhere in
America, man’s urge to get into busi
ness for himself has become a bright
reality. So has the ambition of loving
parents to send their children through
college. Time and time again, Savings
Bonds have made those dreams and
many others come true.
You KNOW they've come true, be*
cause it's happened to you or to
tome of your own frienda.
And this is only the beginning of the
story. Even after accomplishing so
much, millions of American families
still enjoy the financial security of
owning more than fifty billion dollars—
fifty thousand million dollars in
Savings Bonds. More than at the peak
of war-time Bond holdings!
How much money is that? It’s enough
to build a new $10,000 mortgage-free
home for every family in San Francisco
—and Sacramento—and Salt Lake
City—and Denver—and Kansas City—
and SL Louis—and Indianapolis—and
Cincinnati—and Pittsburgh—and
New York City-—and the whole state ,
of Texas!
And every week, everywhere in Amer
ica, new millions of dollars are
added to the total—as crisp new
Savings Bonds are typed up with your
name on them.
Kind of a king-size success story, isn’t
it? Your success story because you
and the millions of your neighbors are
living it right now. Yognr own faith in
America—your own desire for the
warmth of family security and in
dependence—have made the story
of United States Savings Bonds
the thrift miracle of all time.

eountry*s too, «are itoir - through regular

lot of people don’t realize there's
a war on.”
A Conference Committee later
compromised midway between the
Senate and House versions, at $400,
000 The original bill had called for
$1,100,000.
Of the total, $150,000 will be for
administration a,nd civilian training
and $250,000 for Federal matching.
Appropriation Rill
In the general appropriations
bills, both Houses accepted the Sen
ate cut of $500,000 from House fig
ures for the Department of Public
Welfare, setting the total at $2,
896,000. This is nearly $700,000 above
the 1949 appropriation.
They boosted funds for the Uni
versity of Alaska, which was the
hardest hit by earlier House prun
ing. The school was boosted $97,000
in cooperative categories in which
Federal matching funds are avail
able. The legislators also added $150,
000 for new construction to the
$650,000 construction total.
This brought the university total
to $2,241,655, compared with the
House figure of $1,997,555. The appro
priation in 1949 was $2,155,730. The
university regents had asked $3,
090,267.
Reorganization Kill
The Senate had a lively debate
before it passed the amended Reor
ganization Bill.
Some of the kernels gleaned from
the arguments included:
Lyng (D-Nome): “No matter how
much the bill has been improved by
amendments, it still is one that has
no place at this session. This bill
has been kicking around 18 months
in this building and I can prove it.
It doesn’t take a mind reader or seer
to tell what was behind the orig
inal.” He said an investigating
I committee would have been better.
Barr (D-Fairbar:ks): “This bill
tends to correct the situation (which
led to treasury defalcations). There
would be a full-time auditor to
check up. We have amended it tc
throw the governor right out the
window. I don’t see what there is
left to object to.”
Anderson (D-Nome): “I'm afraid
sortie senators lare not informed on
what’s inside the'r,6ilf. T 'feel it is
too fast at moving ahead. Legisla
tors have no business being on the
board.”
Audit Revelations
Butrovich (R-Fairbanks): “The
audit revealed many things. I won
der how bad can an operation get
before we try to correct it. This may
not work perfectly but it can’t be
as bad as things are now. I don’t
like Territorial officials on the
board, but would prefer legislators
only.”
Steve McCutcheon (D-Anchor

age): “Placing of responsibility is
an essential. That's what’s wrong
now. It's time an accountability
was fixed."
Lhamon tR-Fairbanks): "We
have w'hat compares to an old coun
try store in the Territorial Govern
ment. There may be holes in thi.‘
plan, but we can change it later il
necessary.”
MacKenzie (D-Ketchikan): “This
w’ill be a big improvement and I'm
for it.”
Engstrom (R-Juneau): “I'm
against it. The trouble has been in,
not having audits made regularly.
I don’t believe in the Legislature
throwing out two elective officers.”
Snider (R-Wasilla): "The head
man should be elected by the peo
ple, not by us.”
. Nolan (D-Wrangell): "We have to
start somewhere to correct the fi
nancial situation, and this is a good
place to make the step.”

but hard to vote for more taxes,’
he acknowledged.
Rep. Johnson, along with Reps.
Hendrickson, Laws, Locken, Mac
Kinnon, Miscovich, Stepovich and
Wilbur voted against the salmon
tax increase.
Civil Defense
The Civil Defense Bill, brought
out on the floor late in the after
noon, aroused a good deal of oratory
and flag-waving. The excessive
costs of complete evacuation of ci
vilians W'as pointed out and the
probabilities o f evacuation a s
against mere dispersal of civilians
were combed over.
The Ways and Means Committee
had recommended an appropriation
of $135,000 for the new Civil De
fense set-op, but it quickly became
evident that this line could not be
held.
When the members returned from
the dinner recess, Ways and Means
Chairman Glen Franklin proposed
increasing the appropriation to
$300,000 and this figure was adopted
and the bill passed without further
debate. Later in the evening the
House members approved a further
increase to $400,000 as recommended
by the Conference Committee. „
Reorganization
’’Although there has been a loti
of talk about this bill, it is really
relatively simple and not as gre'at |
r change as people imagine,” Henry ■
Roden told the House when the re- j
organization bill came before it.
‘ For the first time,” said Roden,
“we will begin to center authority
and responsibility in one person. If
we get the right administration the
additional costs should not be
great, and thousands of dollars that
are now being wasted in the Terri
tory can be saved.”
“We tried to adopt many of the
amendments here that were later
adopted by the Senate, but we were
argued and voted down," commented
Rep. MacKinnon. “We are told that
it is now a much better bill, but I
still have some doubts about it.”
1 “I still have some doubts, too,”

said Hep. Franklin. "I hope it is
for the best.”
"The bill went out of here like a
choo-choo train and there ' was
nothing we could do to fix up the
defects,” said Rep. Stepovich. “I
think the Senate has done some of f
the fixing we tried to do and it is I
now a better bill.” 1
"When the bill went out of here
the Republicans were dragging their
feet While the Democrats were
blowing the whistle," commented'
Rep. McCutcheon.
"The drag the Republicans put
on it allowed the Senate time tto
devise some, very necessary amend
ments,” retorted Rep. Barnes.
Rep. Kay loosed a blast at “the
Juneau Empire and its axis asso- '
ciates, the Fairbanks News-Miner 1
and Anchorage News” for what he J
termed “a vicious and deliberate 1
[campaign against the bill, intended 0
to deceive the people of Alaska re
garding it.”
Kep. MacKinnon aeienaed the
newspapers; said he believed that 1
they all had been fair in urging v
that the bill be submitted'to the
people.
Confirmation Session
The last-minute joint session was
demanded by Rep. Miscovich for the *
purpose of acting on two Fourth
Division appointments by the Gov
ernor. *
The appointment of Joseph Fejes A
to the Fourth Division Board of j
Assessment and Equalization was t
confirmed by unanimous consent. ,,
Objection to the confirmation of
Wallace Cathcart, Sr. as a member 3
of the Board of Health was based a
on liis age and poor health and Rep. a
Miscovich requested that the name
of C. J. Woofter be submitted to .j
the Governor The Governor then 0
named former legislator Frank Gor- •.
don to the post an appointment that .,
found no favor with Fourth Division j
Republicans U
Rep. Miscovich objected that the |
appointment had not been properly
submitted to the Legislature and in ^
the ensuing argument the joint ses- ,j
sion got out of control and was ad- u
journed without action on the ap- a
pointment. 3
Presentation viaue
During the evening Speaker Egan }
was presented with a painting of Mt. 0
McKinley as a token of apprecia- „
tion for “a job well done.” Gifts in
token of appreciation were also pre- 0
sented to Chief Clerk Margaret ,
Grisham and Assistant Clerk Flora
Woodward. .j
A check of the record shows that
164 bills were introduced in the j
House during the 60-day session. ^
Of these, the House passed 101, g
tabled 34, failed to pass six and in- 3
