BUNNELL SHEDS LIGHT ON LAB BILL Senate fo Vote Anew on| Agricultural Experi- ment Measure Passage of House Bill No. 43 is “highly essential - ! Aporoval of Senate Bill No. 34 is “highly desirable,” Dr. Charles A. Bunnell, President of the University of Alaska, set forth his opinion of two measures to further agricultural development in Alaska which are now in throes of legislative action by the Territorial Senate. Dr. Bunnell's appearance before the Senate this morning was occas- ioned by that body's move to recon- sider its vote, by which it yester- day killed Senate Bill No. 3¢. The motion for reconsideration was put by Senator Grenold Collins, who had yesterday afterncon given notice of such intention. Cochran Adamant Senator O. D. Cochran remained adamant in his opposition to the bill, first expressing himself against reconsideration, then putting Dr. Bunnell to a “courtroom grilling” in an cffort to bring out points that would hold against passage of the measure. | The two bills, House and Senate, are entirely different, Dr. Bunnell testified. The Department of Agri- culture set up by the House Bil is needed now and in the immediate future for the spreading of informa- tion and amswering numerous quer- ies in regard to farming possibilities in Alaska. Questions are even now coming in by thousands, he said, af- ter the war there will be a flood of them. 1 Eye To Future The provision of Senator N. R. Walker's bill for setting up of an Agricultural Experimental Labora- tory is casting an eye to the fu- ture, the University President' con- tinued. Measures are even now be- fore Congress that may increase Federal funds that could be made available to the Territory for devel- oping its agricultural resources. No one now knows in just what manner Congress may provide such funds. The Laboratory bill would put the Territory in a position to benefit from additional Federal aid should it not be possible for such new Congressional grants to be util- ized by the University of Alaska nn- der its present. Agricultural Experi- ment Station structure. It is not likely, Dr. Bunnell declaréd, that the pattern of the University's ex- périment station work, which is now receiving considerable Federal assis. tance, could be altered. If it is necessary for the Territory to estab-' lish a separate laboratory in order to participate in any Federal program that may be established, Senate Bill No. 34 would make such action pos- sible—a $25,000 appropriation would' be there for use if needed and/ would not be spent unless matching' —or more than matching—Federal money were made available. If a separate laboratory should be estab- lished, its work would supplement that done by the University's ex-; periment stations, Dr. Bunnell con- cluded. | Immediately following Dr. Bun- nell's testimony, the Senate recessed until 1:30 o'clock this afternoon— with a new vote on Senate Bill No.| 34 still to come.

N., ‘Walker's remark that “Perhaps some famnly wants to issue bonds.” | Senator Allen Shattuck suggested that it might be a better idea to raise, rather than lower, the popula- | tioh’ requirement. | Beware Cotflls from common That Hang On Erbmof mulllm wlw ey ST b Sl CREOMULSION for Coughs, Chest Colds, I rchitis GR LENTURY Betty Rhodes Johnnie Johnston Marjorie Weaver Johnnie “Scat” Davis Marie Wilson Bill Edwards 0'Artega and His All-Girl Orchestra TONIGHT and Thursday ONLY! laughs, love and mu A GIRL'S GOTTA USE HER POINTS . .
