ELEVEN CHANGES
PROPOSED IN NEW
STATEHOOD BILL1
(Continued from Page One)
for release of “frozen" funds, the
committee planned to distribute
information to counteract what it
described as erroneous statements
of Senators during the recent fili
buster which blocked a Senate vote
on statehood.
Additional information, including
an annual report to the Legislature,
would be made available in Alaska.
Research Program
A research program on a state
constitution would be initiated,
with efforts made to have the Uni
versity of Alaska participate.
The committee voted to Urge
Bartlett to concentrate on state
hood efforts and to ignore what it
referred to as attempts of oppon
ents to sabotage the measure by
presenting other bills lor the
popular election of the Governor.
Peratrovich’s Views
Sen. Frank Peratrovich, a mem
ber of the Statehood Committee
and an executive committeeman of
the Alaska Native Brotherhood, ex
pressed a belief the Natives of Al
aska will be solidly behind .he near
statehood measure.
“The new bill elfiunates the
(pause which would forbid estab
lishment of reservations while
Statehood is penjtng,” Peratrovich
declared. “This provision was writ
«#h into last year’s bill as an
Amendment at the request of Sen
ator Butler of Nebraska.”
“joker” Amendment
He skid the amendment was a
“Joker” to stir up opposition to
the bill, not to help Alaska.
“The new bill eliminates the pro
vision but does not mean there
would be more reservations,” Per
atrovich added.
“All it means is that if the Sec
retary of Interior wishes he can
have Natives vote on reservations
proposals, deciding in a demo
cratic way whether they want them.
Past elections have shown some
Natives want them, others do not.
But if Butler had his way the
statehood bill would deadlock the
matter. It could remain deadlocked
for years.”
Peratrovich said that after the
amendment was added to the old
biU the Natives made efforts to
have It removed.
“They opposed the amendment
but still were strong for statehood,”
he declared.

STUDY UNDERWAY
TO MOVE FWS FLEET
TO JUNEAU BASE
(Continued from Pige Orjt)
to take them to Seattle for winter
overhaul.
Need Warehouse Space
Last summer a special marine
surveyor was employed by the Pish
and Wildlife Service to study the
possibilities for establishing the
Service vessel fleet headquarters
at Juneau. About the only defect
Rhode said, was lack of adequate
warehouse space for housing the
small craft.
"Machine shop facilities in Ju
neau are far superior to those we
have in Seattle and if the problem
of warehouse space can be resolved
there is a good chance the move
of the fleet headquarters will be
made,” Rhode said.
A minimum crew of between 20
and 30 men are employed for over
hauling of vessels. A number of
them are permanent crew members
of the larger vessels.
Operations Time Extended
Rhode said that under its con
; solidation here the Fish and Wild
life Service is making more use
of its vessels in the winter pro
gram. The season for winter fish
eries work is growing longer each
j year and the fur seal patrol IS
! now almost a year round operation.
“Moving the fleet headquarters
and maintenance base from Seattle
to Juneau would mean we could
consolidate Alaska fisheries ves
sels with those operated in the Al
aska game, predator and refuge
programs," said Rhode. “It would
give us a consolidated vessel op
eration for the entire Service such
as we have in our aircraft opera
tion and greatly facilitate the Ser
vice program in Alaska”
