It was reported that there is
a good deal of feeling among Ter

enter into an agreement with the |
Federal Government to accept |
coverage for its employees, accord
ing to the new 1950 amendments
to the Social Security Act. Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance. It is be- |
lieved, Territorial employees favor
ing the plan said, that if this
action could be brought about it
would affect savings both to the
Territory and the individual em
ployees. The Board held its first
meeting January 16.
The 1949 Legislature created the
Public Employees Retirement
System Act in the 1949 session, ef
fective January 1, 1950. Purpose oi
the Act is to aid employees of the
Territory, and municipal employees
of those cities which have elected
to come into the system to build
a retirement fund for themselves

Comments on
Message by
Legislators
(Continued from Page Onv)
Comments of other legislators in
cluded:
Sen. Howard Lyng (D-Nome):
“No comment. I'll do my talking
from the floor of the Senate."
“Best Ever,” Egan
House Speaker William Egan (D
Valdez); “From the standpoint of
being acceptable to both parties, i
seemed the best ever. Many of the
points have been spoken of by both
parties as most needed. It was the
most conciliatory message he ever
delivered.”
Senate President Gunnard Enge
breth (R-Anchorage); "He recom
mended a number of very obvious
Improvements in territorial govern
ment. Some had been recommended
in previous messages, like over
hauling fiscal procedure and reduc
ing the authority of the govemot
to be more nearly in line with the
original function of the office
namely, a representative of the Fed
eral Government in Alaska. His sug
gestion that the governor be re
moved from many of the board
should find wide approval amont
Alaskans. I noted a conciliator;
attitude, expressed by his request
for unanimity in the face of the
national emergency, and I predict
one of the major administrati :
bills will be to provide machinery
for coordinated defense of the ter
ritory in case of an atomic attack
The message apparently was wel
received.”
Sen. R. M. McKenzie (D-SCeteh
ikan>: “It was timely and brought
out a number of points wc all have
been thinking about. It fitted the
problems of the territory and cov
ered them well.”
Balance Budget
Rep. Glen Franklin (D-Bound
ary): “It was very all-inclusive. The
recommended work is too much tt
accomplish this session. The viva
thing is to balance the budget and
I am glad to see his support cf it.’
Rep. W. W. Laws (R-Nome): “I'
was more fair than in the past, He
seern:: to like many of our ideas.”
Rep. Waino Hendrickson (R-Ju
neau): "His recommendations were
sound and good. The legislature
l should look into possible streamlin
ing of some of the government. 1
liked the statement that new taxe
: would not be likely. ’
Sen. Elton Engstrom (R-Juneau):
“It was certainly mild in tone.”
Rep. C. C. Carlson (D-Cordova):
“I think it was all right. He did a
good job of covering our problems.’

Juneau, with the help of the
Territorial Treasury and the Al
aska Public Works program, .s 4
putting out its best bower to anchor
the capital of Alaska. A 4
Bids are to be called at any time
now on construction of a $1,200,000
Territorial office building.
Alaska Public Works recently
turned loose $500,0C0 for the r.ro
:. ugi the 19id Legislature, after %
-• bitter contest from the Third
Division legislator, appropriated
$660,000,
!:■ ftlOXOO was used to purchase
.1 : it.e, where the old Arctic Brother
lit; j hall now stands, not far from
the Federal Building. The remain
ing $005,000 of the appropriation
has been "frozen,” but the Ter
ritorial Board of Administration
lighted a bonfire under it immed
iately upon receiving word of the
Public Works grant.
Although a Juneau weekly news
pr.pi . braved 1:> .idlincd “Juneau *
Asured Terr. Building,” it is not
pec ted that the building will be t-4
constructed, or even started, without
at least a skirmish and perhaps
a full-scale battle. Two years ago
a Third Division legislator threat
ened to go to court for an injunc
tion to stop any such project at
Juneau.
Palmer Is Picked
The Third Divi. loners have pi1!:- A
cd a spot at Palmer, in the Mat
nntu.ka Valley, wires they think
(he capital would i, k fine. 'Die '
spot is approximately midway be
tween Knik arid Matanuska glac
iers.
This will assure a perpetual
source cf refrigerant for the 1 our- J
lion that appears these days to be
an adjunct of government—legisla
tive or administrative.
Third Division capital-movers
make a point, and an undeniable
one, t.-f the crntral location cf 44
Palmer. And the nearby military
installations, they claim, would
make it easier to defend the capital
at Palmer than at Juneau in the
event of an invasion.
But the Juneauites are not with-'
I
are not unwilling to air them. The
t upu'tl in now ir. Juneau and they *
assert that moving it would be an
extravagant cb-sipation of public * •
fund . They also hoot at the dan er
of in tision, pointing out that
condition of weather and terrain of
fer a lot of protection to Juneau
and if it is ever necessary to move
underground, Juneau has several
million dollars’ veth cf subter
ranean tunnels and chambers, ail
of them in the solidest kind of rock
and within easy scurrying dis
tance.
A.s to other factors—Palmer ha
ll ; nd Mr.f-musk laciers; .Ju- .w
neau has Taku and Mendenhall.
the lei islature as a factor, ^ ,
cue place has about as many cubic
yards of immoderate wind in a
year as the other: Juneau's winds
are moister and gustier: Palmer’s
are colder and dustier, and you
can take your choice.
