The measure probably set a re- {cord for brief span of life, intro- duced late last week, S.B. 24 came out of Finance Committee with dis- patch and a “do not pass” tag. To- day, no one even bothered to amend tae measure as the Senate prepar- ed to give it the bounce without discussion. The vote on indefinite postpcnement was 9 to 7. Nays i were: Brownell, Butrovich, Go {on, Gundersen, Lyng, McCutchecn and Nerland More Health Funds Passed by the Senate were S.B. '21, S$.B. 22, S.B. 3. Twenty-one and | twenty-two are additional appr: | priations for the Health Dep: | ment, beyond the quartér million already given it this session. Twen- | ty-one was passed with appropria- tion for surveying Alaska hospital | facilities reduced from $8,000 to !$5,000 on committee recommenda- | tion. | Twenty-two, S to creaie a 30,000 urplus Property Revolving Fund {to enable the department to snap | VP bargains in medical equipment jand supplies for resale to hospitals, !mark that the Alaska Develcpment !Board already has a ‘revolving tund” which the Health Depart- | ment should be able to draw upor. Senator O. D. Cochran seconded ! that thought, declaring the plan- { ning agency has by its actions sub- | srantially said that the Legislature | did not give sufficient appropria- | tions to other departments, so they icould have a share of its funds j when they wanted. { Both Health Department |sures passed without dissenting vote, under suspended rules. Appropriation in Senate Bill 3, by Walker, for carrying out the | purposes of the Land Registre {Act passed last year, was §Ir0m $29,300 to an even “twenty {grand.” i McCutcheon Hearing { This evening's hearing by the Ju- Committee - on | Senator Steve McCutcheon came in for a panning from Attorney | General Ralph J. Rivers, but will } go through nevertheless at 8 o'clock in the Senate Chamber. ! The gist of a communication | from the Attorney General, handed in by Senator Frank Gordon, was | that the only opportunity to un- ! seat McCutcheon had been passed up when no appeal was made to jthe Court to enjoin his certification of election by the Canvassing Board—that the Legislature is not j empowered to take action upon the qualifications of its members, lack- ifg such express authorization by + Congress. Senator Cochran took issue with i Rivers’ view, indicating that he had jlcoked deeper into the law than the Attorney General apparently had. Gordon requested cf the Rivers statement Journal, but got nowhere. DOUGLAS NEWS MRS. ALLEN RETURNS Mrs. M. B.
