PAGE EIGHT INTERIOR DEPT. ALASKA MEETINGS: 3 | Kenneth J. Kadow, Chairman of | the Alaska Field Committee of the Department of the Interior, reLurn—’ ed yesterday from Ketchikan, where | he said goodbye to Willlam E.: Warne, Assistant Secretary of the| Interior, and his party. They are| enroute to Washington, D. C. | Kadow had accompanied Warne on the tour of Alaska which in- cluded visits to 15 cities and \'xl-[ lages. A number of Department pol- jcy matters were “threshed out” at| the Mount McKinley Park Lodge conference last month. In all the cities and villages, pub- lic meetings were held, besides | conferences with service cluos and; other representative groups, Kaduw\ said today. { “The program of the Interior De-' partment was presented,” Kadow ! commented, “and the reaction of| the people, generally speaking, was quite favorable. ‘ “Tremendous interest was shown| in the Settlement Bill and in thej| Department's contemplated Devel- opment Corporation proposal. “Many, many constructive criti- cisms of this proposal were sug- gested by civic and business leaders of the Territory. They will be uul-‘ ized in drafting the proposed leg-‘ islation. “Assistant Secretary Warne,” re- ported Kadow, “especially wishes to thank the people of Alaska for the generous support of the Interior Department program, and for the calibre of the suggestions and criti- cisms made. “Just as soon as a satisfactory draft is made of the Alaska De- velopment Corporation legislation, | incorporating the suggestions of Al-| askans and the views of the federal | funn discussion of its potentialities | by .Chambers of Commerce, labor | leaders, and citizens in general.” | Kadow today called attention to ;the fact that he, representing the Department, is available to cluks and other groups, to discuss any provisions of the Interior Depart- ment's program and policy. WHAT FOR THE FARM, SOLONS ARGUE HOTLY WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.7(M-—A] sliding-scale system of Government price supports under major farm products won Senate approval to- day. After weeks of angry arguments that split party lines, the Senators sent the so-called “price stabiliza- tion” act back to the House which has adopted a different plan. Pas- sage was by voice vote. Another bitter struggle between the Senate and House over what's best for the farmer—especially dur- |ing the 1950 Congressional election | year—mow looms. And an appar- | ent disagreement between President i Truman and two of his chief Sen- ate lieutenants threatens to cloud the issue for the Democrats in next year's campaign. Both the President and Vice Pre- | sident Barkley are said to favor| continuance of the wartime level of farm price props now existing. Senator Anderson (D-NM), form- er Secretary of Agriculture, is auth- or of the Senate’s bill and Demo- cratic leader Lucas (Ill) backed it. REBEKAHS TO MEET Members of the Rebekah Lodge government administration, copies will meet tonight at 8 o'clock and will be distributed generally all through Alaska. < “The Department hopes for a besides the usual business, officers, will be nominated and the lodge'si birthday will be celebrated. | -— Your Deposit ARE BUY and HOLD UNITED STATES SAVINGS BONDS TBE management of this bank is pledged to conserva- tive operation.

A print of the motjon picture was given Leonard Hopkins of An- chorage for his participation and other help in making the movie of sports fishing to the westward. Hopkins was a guest at today’s luncheon after being introduced by Archie Betts, he spoke briefly be- fore the picture was shown. Mem- cer Eckley K. Guerin ran the pro- jector. Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins, who are staying at the Baranof Hotel, will be in Juneau for several days more. The film, which had its first showing here yesterday, was made last year with Larry Madison of MPO Productions, New York, as director and chief photographer. An outdoor enthusiast and sports ex- pert himself, Madison was his own technical adviser, with the four Al- askans of the cast to keep him' in line, locally. Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins were “star- red” in the movie, with Fred (Buck) Weiler of Fairbanks, and a well- known Alaska guide, Bud Bran- ham, proprietor of Rainy Pass Lodge. Branham was the outfitter, providing airplanes and camp and fishing equipment, as well as ap- pearing in the picture. The script is narrated by a voice representing Weiler, who is pre- sumed to be an qld fishing crony from the states. The film is marked by fine shots of typical scenery in Lake Clark Pass and along the Kulik River and other locations in the Illamna Lake region. President James McClellan pre- sided for the last time, as he was to take this afternoon’s PAA flight |to Seattle, going outside to join his family and make his home in Utah. The Juneau club gave “Mac” a Past President’s pin, with Gene Vuille, program chairman, .| making the presentation. Vice President Stanley Baskin, now with the court party at Ketchi- kan, will act as President until the annual election November 9. "SMOKE JUMPERS' SHOWN AT NOON MEETING OF NFFE A movie showing parachutist-fire fighters in training and in action was featured on the program of the first fall meeting of the Ju- neau branch of the National Fed- eration of Federal Employees. The meeting was held this noon in the Gold Room of the Baranof | Hotel with more than 50 members of the organization present. The film, produced by the Forest Service, showed the rigorous train- {ing which the parachutists must undergo and the equipment they | use, as well as an actual operation against a forest blaze. One piece of equipment, unknown outside “Smoke-jumping” circles, is a 100-foot safety rope carried in a leg-pocket of the jumping suit. The use of the line was shown. A jump- er, hanging by his parachute can- opy in a tree, tied one end of the line to his parachute harness, re- leased the harness, and paid out the line, letting himself slowly and safely to the ground. The film, a ten-minute feature, is available at the Forest Service Building, for any organization wish- ing to use it, according to Harry Sperling, who is in charge of that | information office in the Federal| THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA Mrs. Katherine Nordale, executive board member of the organization who acted as chairman at the meet- ing, announced that Mrs, Margaret Pearce of the Forest Service and John McCormick of the Selective Service office had been chosen as chairmen of two nominating com- mittees which will draw up lists of nominees for the organjzation's election in December. She reported that progress is be- ing made on the bill to revise the classification of government em- ployees. A request was made from the floor for further investigation of a hospitalization plan for Federal employees. The next meeting of the NFFE will be held in November. PR BILOF NATIVES "LUCKIEST" SAYS DIRECTOR OF FWS Albert M. Day, head of the Fish and Wildlife Service, today called the Pribilof Island natives “the| luckiest natives in Alaska.” He was a member of the inquiry | commission which investigated the| living conditions of Pribilof natives after charges had been made that the natives were living under con- | ditions boardering on peonage. | Day arrived in Juneau yesterday | on his way to headquarters in| Washington, D. C. i He pointed out that his com-| ments on conditions in the Pricilof | Islands were made as chief of FWS | which is in charge of the islands, and not as a member of the in- vestigating commission. The com- mission’s report will be published | at a later date. | Although it was his first visit to| the Pribilofs, Day had a good basis for comparing the Island natives' living conditions with those of vil- lages on the mainland. Before going to the Pribilofs, he visited native villages on the lower | Yukon and Kotzebue river areas. | He said that natives living on the mainland, depending on furs for a living, earned only one-fourth the income paid Pribilof natives in cash and provisions. The Pribilof natives are given housing, heat, electricity, food, clothing, annual leave and retire- ment benefits, in addition to their cash incomes, Day said. There are doctors and centists on | the islands, and a hospital on each island according to Day. “In my opinion, they receive better care than any native community in Alaska,” he said. There is only one active case of | tukerculosis on the islands, and the general health of the native com- munity is “very good,” Day :stated. The natives of the islands, who are guaranteed by law priority in! jobs in the Pribilof seal industry, are free to leave the islands when- ever they wish, he said. They are not being detained on the islands. The commission of which Day was a member was headed by the Rev. Mark Dawber of New York 'City, Executive Secretary of the Home Missions Council of North America and a director of the As- sociation on Indian Affairs. The Indian Affairs group had charged that natives on the Pribil- ofs “may be in virtual peonage.” “I couldn’t find anything to get very worried about,” Day said.
