NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash —_— HIGHWAY AID FOR ALASKA Alaskans should not fail to grasp the importance of the recent bill introduced in Congress by Delegate Anthony J. Dimond to extend the benefits of -the Federal Aid and Highway Act to Alaska. As Alaska grows, roads and good roads will be- come increasingly important to the development and opening up -of the Territory. If Dimond's bill is passed, Federal money would be available along with | matching funds, probably not more than the Territory | already spends on roads, to develop a ffl‘s[—ClRSSw system of roads and highways to more closely co- ordinate the loosely scattered sections of Alaska. Just why Alaska has not been included in the | Act before this time is not clear. The Act takes | in Puerto Rico and the Hawailan Islands, in addition | to the 48 States. Alaska would excluded only through discrimination or lack of understanding. Roads within Alaska are far more important than | roads connecting the Territory with the ContlnentnL United States. The present mmtary highway may ~ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRI:——JUNE.AU. ALASKA. serve some sort of military purpose, but freight haul- ed cver this route would cost many, many times the cost of water transportation. Freight will continue to move by water. But it will take roads to really open up Alaska Federal aid highway money is apportioned to the various States on the basis of population and land area. Dimond has written into his bill a provision that only half of Alaska would be considered as the land area in order that the Territory's share in matching funds be not prohibitive. It is probable that this may be scaled down by Congress to the one-third formerly advocated by Territorial Highway Engineer William Hesse. AFL's (Washington Post) When American Federation of Labor President William Green indorsed Representative Martin Dies for renomination, his union brethren in southeast Texas responded with three rousing jeers. This had a good deal to do, in all probability, with Mr. Dies’ eleventh hour withdrawal from the race. We cannot escape a fervent hope that Mr. Green's indorsement of such unregenerate isolationists as Senator Gerald Nye and Illinois Representative-at-large Stephen Day. will prove equally ineffectual among AFL constituents. In conferring the federation’s blessing upon can- didates of this character, Mr. Green lays himself open to a charge of either reckless self-interest or con- summate naivete. If he supports these men solely on the ground that they voted consistently for legisla- tion sponsored or desired by the AFL, then he stands | convicted of applying an altogether inadequate yard- stick to them. Certainly the American public is entitled to expect a higher degree of reponsibility and patriotism from a national labor organization. Certainly the members of the AFL are entitled to expect somewhat broader stztesmanshiip from their | national leaders. | It is true, of course, | the CIO. Is this what led Mr. him as a true friend of the AFL? file were too sensible to be taken in by such spurious | logic. - Messrs, Nye and Day, to be sure, voted in accordance with AFL wishes on certain specific issues. ‘lt can scarcely be said, however, that their views on international affairs harmonize with the long-term | interests of American labor. They are opposed to | | all the basic hopes which the AFL has expressed in regard to the postwar world. Mr. Green has done very little, in making in- dorsements such as these, to enhance the prestige of | the organization over | rendered one service, however—a fresh demonstra- | tion that the labor vote cannot be delivered en bloc by any labor politician. Workers will, of course, vote for particular candidates when they are persuaded lon reasonable grounds by their national leadership | that such action will advance their own genuine in- terests and the general welfare of the Nation. But | they will not accept the capricious dictates of :my union boss. Workers are motivated primarily by their status as American (‘i(izmn that Martin Dies attacked Green to look upon on the same American companies and Ilashinglon o owner's OWI are children." picture finding motion Presidentof The rank and | which he presides. He has Merry- Go-Round (Continued from rage One) sat in dignified session last week. It was considering bills for the re- lief of private individuals. _Sud- denly the droni.ag voice of the clerk boomed out: “Senate bill 1605 for the relief of Winnie Left Her Behind.” Some Senators tittered. Senator Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska broke into a hearty laugh. Up rose gnarled, austere Senator Harlan - Bushfield, Republican of South Dakota, author of the billl for ‘the relief of Winnle Left Her Behind. It was plaint that he re- sented the hilarity of his Republi- can colleague from Nebraska. A great friend of the Indians, Senator Bushfield explained that Winnie is an Indian woman, about 50, living on the Rosebud Reser- | vation in South Dakota and nwn-1 ing 160 acres given her by the Gov- erhment in 1912. Her husband 66, is blind and unable to work the| land. Therefore, she wants to sell. But she cannot sell because of a Government policy aimed at pre- venting Indians from selling their land to speculators. Senator Bushfield explained that the Indian couple live in a tepee Sicilians excellent movie customers.

EcuadorHas Quif Office He Takes flge inU.S. Embassy Affer Revo- lutionary Coup QUITO, June 1—Dr. United States Embassy here after resighing the Ecuadorean Presi- dency under pressure of revolution- | ists who have seized all powers at Quayaquil and invited former Presi- dent Ibarra to return from his exile | in Colombia. Ecuadorean troops, using tanks, backed by members of the Demo- cratic Alliance group, gained control of Quayaquil, main commercial port | on the Pacific, after a 10-hour battle in which more than 40 persons were killed and 200 wounded. The revolutionists said the motive is to forestall the Presidential elec- tions scheduled for Friday and Sat- urday which they said will be mean- ingless unless exiled Ibarra is on | hand to participate. Carlos Ar- royo del Rio is a refugee in the | on the South Dakota prairie, with no fuel, little food, totally inade- guate clothing, and with the tem- perature sometimes dropping to 30 below. So he had introduced a bill| reguiring the Secretary of the In- terior to permit Winnie Left Her Behind- to sell her land, probably| for around $300. Just before Senate bill 1602 came | up, the Senate had passed relief| bills for thrée people named Pok- luda, Buby and Paluck. So Sena- tor Bushfield said: YEven when I look around the| Senate, I see individuals with names | just as peculiar as Winnie Left Her Béhind * * * Whether Winnie was | left behind by someone who went | away and left her in the custody | of another, or whether the name, refers to someone else whom Win-| nie left behind her, I do not know.| I think we should leave the in-| terpretation of the name to the Senator himself.
