Wash 41 s TO SPEED PULP MILLS Senator Hugh Butler of Nebraska indicated yes- terday in Juneau that the Lemke, or Alaska Veterans’ Homestead Bill, would not get past his powerful Sen- Public Lands Committee, at least without con- and his colleague. Senator Zales voiced his outright opposition fo ate siderable revision, Ecton of Montana the measure, all of which should be encouraging and assuring to potential investors in the pulp field in Alaska who will scon be submitting bids on the first lots of timber. Juneau Attorney Norman Banfield's fears that the pulp companies might be discouraged from invest- ing their money if the Lemke Bill passes in its present form is indeed something to consider. The provisions of this bill, should it become law, would supercede the contracts entered into between the Forest Service and pulp companies, allowing homesteaders to claim the timber stumpage for which the pulp companies would have entered into contract for, allowing them to shut off rich timber areas from development by taking up homesteads along the beach. there have been in In line with this discussion, recent weeks several expressions of fear that Alaska is so concerned about getting the pulp mills that Alaskans may overlook the fact that there is a danger of a further damage to the Territory’s salmon and other fishes from pollution of streams and unwise cut- ting of timber. However, all cutting is to be carried strict Forest Service supervision, keeping in always the safeguarding of our salmon streams and utilizing methods of manufacture to prevent stream pollution. under mind on Speaking for the salmon industry this week, Man- aging Director W. C. Arnold of the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc., stated that while he believes some small damage may result, the industry is not worried too much about it and does not oppose the ccming of the mills. He further pointed out that he will contact pulp companies for the purpose of working int research program which will have as its sbject the minimizing of harm to the salmon. ‘There is no question but what some small damage will oceur, but it is also very vrobable that a joint research program moy result in an increase in the salmon. % for §1.50 per month; | e e e For National Defense (New York Times) The for ght positions taken by the American | Legion and the Legion Auxiliary on the question of | universal military training are two more straws in the wind of public opinion that it is hoped the members | of Congress will note carefully and act on when they return to Washington in January. In previous yea the Legion has been lukewarm on this issue. Now it calls for “the immediate passage of laws inaugurating universal military training.” Since its resolution w: unqualified it presumably approves of the War De- partment plan, proposed in the last session of Con- gress, for six months of actual indoctrination and drill | and then a continuance for another six months of several choices of training or schooli Both the Legion and its Auxfiary urged a special session to adopt the necessary legislation. Cengress surely c not disregard this and other evidences of public de mand. It cannot continue its ostrich-like attitude for- ever. If present Army and Navy enlistment trends con- tinue it is possible the next session of Congress will . also have to act on the manpower deficit in the regular establishments. Army enlistment totals through July, which were announced recently, showed a 25 per cent deficit in required totals for the first seven months of the year. In actual numbers the deficit is 80,000 ‘There is little hove that the deficit can be made up during the next five months of the calendar year The best guess is that the Army will find itself over 100,000 below authorized strength by Jan. 1. Navy | figures are somewhat better, with an upturn in en- listments during July. But even the Navy has been running behind its needed monthly totals of 15000 men. Congress quite understandably would like to have these matters settle themselves. It dislikes taking a position on a question on which there is any public division. But it will be shirking its responsibility if it does not face up to the hard fact that national defense required trained men, and many of them. If volunteer programs won't fHl the need—and they never have—then Congress must adopt a method of selection. Anything else, in the present state of the world, is gambling with national security War Contract Fraud (Cincinnati Enquirer) Rep. George H. Bender's recent statement relative to “fraud and overpayment” on war contract settle- ments deserves serious studv. A House subcommittee, Mr. Bender says, soon will invest e the situation. It will be interesting to see what the committee uncovers. It seems ange to us, first, that Mr. Bender would make such a statement before any court action had been instigated in the cases involved. And it seems even stranger, if these cases are as clear as the Rep- resentative indica that no court action has been taken. The Ohio legislator says that the Justice De- partment has failed to prosecute 93 cases erred to it Any charge of fraud is serious enough. Such charges involving war contra —and involving to some extent the security of our nation in time of conflict are even more serious. In view of this situation. Rep- resentative Bender should be armed with conclusive evidence before publicizing his allegations; ainly before making charges as definite as those he has advanced. If such evidence is at hand, one must wonder why the Justice Department, usually most conscientious in its prosecutions, has remained silent. Only a lack of proper evidence should dissuade Department of Justice prosecution. And if such evidence is lacking, certainly the Bender statement must be questioned. “Evidence of fraud,” as referred to by Mr. Bender in parts of his formal statement, is one thing. Fraud is another. In a strict legal sense, fraud does not ~xist until a court of law, after hearing all the evidence, decides that a fravdulent action has been perpetrated None of the instances cited by Mr. Bender has been tried in a court of record. Unless each of the 147 cases included in the Bender statement comes to trial, and unless convic- tions are obtained on each, it would seem that his sweeping charges would be unfair—unfair, at least, to |a percentage of the individuals involved. Under any circumstances, quick inquiry is called for. If the Justice Department alreadv has completed such an inquiry, and has found no evidence on which reason- ALASKA THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU 20 YEARS AGO £ THE EMPIRE ORI DO eSO SER e ] SEPTEMBER 12, 1927 Mrs. George Pierce, whese husband was in charge of the power plant wl!
