PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY ALASKA EMP] —JUNEAU, ALASKA - SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1945 LEGISLATURE VOTES TODAY ON NOMINEES Senate Kills Move fo In- vestigate Appointees’ Qualifications The matter of confirming ap- pointees to rious Territorial boards, announced yesterday fore- noon by Governor Ernest Gruening brought about a bit of' discussion when members of the Alaska Sen-| ate gathered together following the noon recess yesterd: £ te Presiden Edward D Coffey anncunced that, as he had been instructed, he had met with representatives of the House and had arranged for a joint session of the two chambers, to act on the appointments, for 1:30 o'clock this | afternoon. He asked for approval| by the Senate of the time set Senator Cochran, then, first sug- gested and later moved, the ad-| visibility of the appointment of & select Senate committee of five to look into the qualifications of the appointees and report’ back to the Senate previous to the joint mee ing. He declared it a legislative duty of the body to investigate the appointments, before acting to con- firm them. Such action would be no reflection on the Governor or the persons appointed, he said, but would merely be ‘“exercising that degree of descretion” intended by the law requiring the Legislature’s confirmation i Allen Shaituck agreed | that the appointment of such a committee would “set a very fine precedent.” Senators Frank Gordon and Don Carlos Brownell, however, took a stand against the motion, contending it to be the duty of the Senator individual Senators to make up their own minds with regard to approving the appointments. Sen- ator Andrew Nerland first spoke in favor of the motion and later lined up with the opposition. Caucus Session Senator Howard Lyng said that since the appointees were selected on a Divisional basis, the custom previously followed had been to consider the appointments in caucus by the delegations from the various Divisions. Senator Lyng’s point was concurred in by Presi- dent Coffey and the motion was brought to a vote. It lost, 10 to 16. Reading of certain communica- tions addressed to the President of. the Senate from the Convention of the Alaska Territorial Federa- tion of Labor, interrupted by ad- journment Thursday afternoon, was continued at the request of Sen- ator Gordon, who added a recom- mendation from the ATFL for pas- sage of the Income Tax Act to the list. Other recommendations contained in .the communications were for Passage of House Bills Nos. 1 amd 8;, passage of Senate Bill No. 2, which had already passed the Sen- ate, and establishment of a fund from which the Territorial Board of Health should pay for the medi- cal examination of persons handl- ing food and dispensing beverages at periods of every 90 days, instead of the present yearly examinations required at the expense of em- ployers. Senator Brownell gave notice that he planned to move today for a change in the Senate rules to re- quire that standing committees be limited to 10 days for consideration of bills referred to them. Election Law Senator N. R. Walker again at- tempted to put across a motion for definite postponement. when Senate Bill No. 5 was brought up| for second reading: The bill, intro- duced by Senator Leo W. Rogge | early in the session, would change | the primary election law of the Territory to require filing by in-| cumbent elective officers by one| month prior to the last day for| general filing of other candidates. | It was accompanied by an Elec- | tions Committee amendment limit- ing the requirement to the Delegate | to Congress and other officials generally throughout the Territory, excluding members of the Legis- lature and other purely Divisiona offices. Senator Cochran a clarifying amendment to amendment and on vote, amendments were adopted. Senator Walker again lost indefinite postponement motion a margin of 11 to 5, but not until much inspired oratory had been expended around the bill; very little of which touched on matter under consideration.

Technicalities Questioned Roden also questioned technical- ities in the matter of payment of | beneficiaries and compensation, pointing out specific sections which, in his opinion, were in error. He said that although the bill men- tioned a “second injury fund” from which payments were to be made he had failed to locate it in the text. One of his main barrages was leveled at total disability. “If a man comes to work for me who has the sight of only one eye and I hire him and pay him the.

Roden answered that that depended on the policy of the mem- bers of the House. If they desired the bill as it was—or if they wished to revise it. Representative Shattuck came to his feet and said he objected to the hill being sent back to committee. He demanded the right to be heard by the committee and amendments.” “The bill was drawn by attorneys { in the Department of Labor in| Washington,” Shattuck said, “and on this ground I challenge Mr. ® Yesterday the Chinese Lieutenant bad distinguished bimself in basle: Today as he faced his commanding officer, the young soldier's face flushed with pride and em- barrassment.
