WHO'S WHOSE!
WACKY DAY HAS
US IN A TIZZY
Sometimes this legislative business j
gets so unpredictable a man can! !
lay up a dime betting on who’s on
whose side.
Yesterday was a day that produc- I
ed some stiange alignments in the !
House. Maybe it was the Ides of
March, ahead of time? Or the nip
of premature, ice-bitten spring in
the Hr? Or *ust that banking and
politic.’ some imes produce strange
bedfollows. as folks have been say
ing all along.
Anyhow, here’s a play-by-play
account of a legislative observer’s
bewilderment:
1. There was a flare of tempers
that came close to producing the
session’s first physical clash.
2. Republican George Miscovich
proposed an amendment to the
banking code bill and Democrat
Stanley McCutcheon asked the
House for unanimous consent sup
port. (The temperature may sink
to one below again before the House
sees a repetition of that one).
3. Republican Mike Stepovich
criticized an amendment that Mc
Cutcheon offered to the banking
bill. McCutcheon agreed with Step
ovich a})d said he would vote against
his own proposal. (It may take a
cold day to produce that one again,
too).
4. Democratic Speaker Bill Egan
offered an amendment to open the
doors to branch banking: McCut
cheon argued against it: Democrat
Wendell Kay contended his fellow
Anchorage Democrat was mixed up
on which end of the funnel the
funds flowed out of.
5. Republican Ed Locken, Pet
ersburg’s mayor and banker, lined
up in support of McCutcheon lo get
the proposed amendment killed.
For one dizzying day, that did it
—
FOUR RELIEF BILLS
BY BARTLETT TO BE
TAKEN U? MAR. 13!
Four of Delegate Bartlett’s bills
reported favorably by the House
Committee in the Judiciajy. are
scheduled for consideration by the
House on March 1?
The four measures to be called on
the private calendar are claim bill;
and affect 10 persons, 6 resident;
of Alaska and 4 persons formerly
living in the Territory.
William Bergen of Fairbanks
would be allowed to bring suit in
the District Court of Alaska against
the United States for injurie:
claimed to have been sustained by
him on December 21, 1044, while a
passenger on The Alaska Railroad
On that day over six years ago a
southbound train on which Mr
Bergen was a passenger was de
railed at Mile 424.9. Mr. Bergen
claims injuries which have per
manently disabled him. The Inter
ior Department in reporting on the
bill made no recommendations, but
the Judiciary Committee in report
ing Delegate Bartlett’s bill stated
its opinion “that Mr. Bergen should
have his day in court.”
Japhet K. Anvil of Nunachuk
and Howard A. Monroe of Kiano
would recceive $86.25 and $12.70
respectively through the terms of
the second Bartlett bill now before
the House. The money would be
provided to reimburse the two Al
askans for money which they spent
out of their own pockets to get
home after their discharge from
the Army.
The third bill would allot money
to three persons for loss of their
personal property rs the result of
the accideental capsizing of n pri
vately owned outboard motorboat
.n the Susitna River on August 12,
1945, while they were on official
duty with the Alaska Road Cominis
;ion. The bill calls for payment of
$160 to Fabian P. Durand and
$410.10 to Floyd L. Murphy, both
of Anchorage, and $150 to Cleo C.
Reeves, now living in Decatur, 111.
The fourth measure would pay

tain tools and personal effects.
Their properties were lost when the '•
barge carrying them to Alaska cap

aska Railroad. The claimants, in
accordance with their employment
contract with The Alaska Railroad.!
were to be transported, together I
with their tools and personal effects
from Seattle to Seward by com
mercial steamship at government
expense. However, it was decided
to transport the men by air to ship
the tools and personal effect? by
water.

routine on the White'Pass and Yu

snowplow was sent from Skagway
to clear the tracks in order that
18 passengers from Whitehorse
could make the sailing. A slide came
down behind the snowplow strand

patched and both of them got stuck,

visiting the Skagway lodge on a
bowling trip.
