' ALASKA STATE “BEING ROBBED” Several days ago Associated Press dispatches car- rieq dispatches concerning’ withdrawl of more lands in jAlaska, a last parting order of then Secretary of Intlerior Krug. Under the above heaging here is what Sid Charles of the“Ketchikan' News ‘has to say: Alaskg -js being, robber as a future State. A few more land withdrawals and there will be little left for statehood residents. On one occasion ‘Governor Gruening wanted to know,.what Sid Charles geant by harping away that only a “Federalized shell” would be left for state- hood. Of Alaska's approximately 370,000,000 acres of public land already about one-third had been with- drawn by governmental ukases before Krug made his last withdrawals. Less than one per cent of the lands are privately owned. Now get this and let it soak in—in case of state- hood the population of less than 100,000—both whites and natives—will pay the tax to support this shell. Here's the score previous to the more recent withdrawals: Acres Oil and gas reservations near Point Barrow (Navy) ... : . 67,440,000 National forests (Agriculture) . creenneneene 20,848,000 Fish and Wildlife reservations and preserves 7,900,000 National parks and monuments .. .. "6,936,000 Native reservations % : o 3,940,000 Military and Naval (excluding secret reserva- tions) 4 2,760/000, Teservations 2,700,000 2,400,000 War transportation Miscellaneous Totall Gohie. s 114,924,000 Added to the foregoing Krug's “last minute” orders Included: 100,000 acres on Prince of Wales and Sukkan Islands, with an estimated population of 360 Natives Vice-Prestdent Managing Bditor THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA 367 square milés, not acres remember, at Point Barrow, for 367 estimated Natives. 2800 square miles in the Kobuck River section for | some 150 Natives. With these and other possible withdrawals what | price statehood? | We can then enjoy being taxed for a “Federalized State” with “ghost” powers for sending representa- tives to Congress There’s one right which will remam—we can foot | | the bill | And in the same edition, under the caption, “Al- | aska Public Wants to Know,” here is another hit at | the land withdrawals: There are a few things the Alaskan public would like to know. Did Oscar Chapman when sworn.into office as Secretary of the Interior know and approve of the|e last-minute official acts of Julius Krug in a with-{® drawal order for additional lands? 1 Krug made the orders the day before and the| same day Chapman was sworn into office, according to press dispatches. ‘Why the sudden hurry? Three years ago Krug promised no additional land withdrawals would be made in Alaska Wwithout | the people of Alaska being first notified. l This was after large previous withdrawals. / DECEMBER 8 Sidney J.

"lAl .3 ASKA STEAM HAS SCHEDULE FOR NEXT YEAR The Alassx Steamship Company | 1950 spriig and summer schedule, covering sailings from Seattle from March 4 through September 30, is announced in Seattle by Ad- miral F. A. Zeusler, executive as-| sistant to the president of the line. Designed to offer the tourist the widest variety of trips, ‘the new schedule has several distinctive fea- tures. Each vessel will be bn’ a dif- ferent 12-day cruise. Improved | through service into ,the interior has been set up. Kodlak Tsland and Cook Inlet ports are being! made available to the traveler on the popular 12-day voyage. “Without question,” Admiral Zeus- ler stated, “the 1950 schedule is the finest to be offered the tourist since prewar.” Beginning May 6 the regular weekly departure will be stepped! the o] st that such withdrawals were to be made, according to his own statement. The question arises was Krug putting something over on Chapman as his last official act, or did he make the order because Chapman did not want to “father it?” The Alaska public has a right to know the score. It is their resources and lands that are being juggied. MR. AND MRS. VEEP The courtship of elderly but very hale and nearty Alben W. Barkley and the comely Mrs. Carleton S. Hadley has been one of the foremost leavening in- fluences in recent American political history. Politics is a practical and at times a sordid business. Seldom does romance rescue it from its usual deariness— and even less often does such romance takes the ebullient tone of the Vice-President’s quest of the hand of the lady from St. Louis. . Throughout the romance, the “Veep” has enjoyed the most nearly unanimous best wishes of the Ameri- can press that we've noticed in many a year. And that was not altogether because the genial Kentuckian was making good copy for presses already satiated with stuff about five per centers and spy trials and atomic bombs. As a member of the Senate and during the latter decade as majority leader of the Senate, Alben Bark- ley worked hard and conscientiously, asking no public acclaim and receiving little. During the last presi- dential campaign he undoubtedly regarded himself as a sacrifice, but he harbored no malice that he had been ignored at the time the vice-presidential nomina- tion might have had fateful consequences. He cam- paigned with amazing but characteristic ardor. Then, after the unexpected happened and he found himself in the standby role of Vice-President, no one could blame him for making the most of the opportunity to be convivial. And he prosecuted his matrimonial Gampaign with the same spirit and vigor that he has carried on his political career. Anyone in recent months who doubted that he would walk back up the church aisle with the lady of his choice didn't know Alben Barkley very well. And now tha tthe chase is over—now that he has pursued her urtil she caught him (as some wag 'mgnt say), we wish them both the very best for many jears to.come.
