PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-— JUNEAU, ALASKA HEALTH DEPT. BILL KEEPING SENATEASTIR Finance Cémainee Pro- poses 25% Pay Raises, Territorial Officials 1 Senator Andrew Bill No. 23, did air in the Ter- ritorial Senate forenoon —— but not for lomg. The Senatc almost immediately afterward plv into wrangling over the remaining Health Department measure, An amendment proposed by Sen- ator O, D. Cochran, to insert “if feasible” in the 1se requiring the proposed Health Commissioner to have “full-tin publ health ex- perience,” was storm center. The amendment was adopted, just before the noon recess, by an 11 to 5 count Withdrawal, by b i, of Senate much clear the of noses The amendment was opposed by the four members of the Finance Committee, who sponsored No. They took as the basis for their opposition statements made yester- day by Lt. Col. George Hays, of the U. S. Public Health Service, who had appeared in regard to the bill. He had suggested the possibility of the Territory's losing some Federal “matching funds” should the Com- missioner selected not be fully quali- fied in public health work Senator Grenold Collins pointed out that big differences exist be- tween the general practice of medi- cine and public health administra- tion. Senator Allen Shattuck declared: This bill, as it stands, is what she Health Councils of the Territory have endorsed and is what they want. “T think we should give it to them.” Senator R. Walker, still in- censed over the “peculiar situation” in which he and his co-partners had been placed over No. 23, declared the requirement for full-time experi- ence would make Dr. Hays the only man in the Territory eligible for the job. Second-Sight “Dr. Hays seems to be gifted with second-sight,” according to the state- ments he made here yesterday, the Ketchikan Senator continued. He gave evidence of second-sight by his apparent knowledge, three days ahead of time, as to what Dr. C. C. Carter wanted to say about this measure . He knew it before Dr. Carter did. “I now think that Dr Carter was entirely blameless,” in regard to what transpired. “If this is a reflection on Dr. Hays—I mean it," Senator Walker proclaimed. He continued, the Ter- ritory is not likely to lose matching funds if this requirement is modi- fied . “We haven't lost any match- | ing funds so far, with only a part- | time . Health Commissioner: Senator Frank Whaley came to the fore with the statement that Col. Hays had definitely told the Finance Committee he would not take the job. Senator Collins said he knew there were other men in | the Territory who would be eligible. Senator Cochran supported his amendment by asking why it should be necessary that the Commissioner, to function best, must have had ex- perience under a Federal bureau? “I don’t want to tie the hands of the Board whose responsibility it will be to select the Commissioner,” the Nome Senator continued. For that matter, he added, as the re- quirement now stands, a man could qualify after only 24 hours’ ex- perience — “or one week, or one month—the time is not specified.” Following the vote that adopted the amendment, the Senate recessed until 1:30 o’clock this afternoon. Other Action Taken The Senate, received this morning, two joint memorials that had been approved by the House: House Joint Memorials Nos. 6 and 8.
