" THE RESERVATION ELECTIO 5 BARROW week ith the vote of 29 in favor of reservations The reservation election at Barrow a ago Saturday and 231 t, is still a mystery. It plained by local Interior Department officials as a vote against reservations,” but a ent reservation plan which vote only iinst the pr would have given them 750 square miles of land—less land than they wanted. We have found it difficult to reconcile this explanation with the election results. Like Delegate Bartlett, Gov. Gruening and Senator Butler, we interpreted the vote at its face value, as an overwhelming vote against the reservation system. In a statement issued' a week ago in Washington, Senator Butler said: “The forthright and overwhelming decision of the the Point Barrow, Alaska, region in reject- 31 to 29 the proposal of the Indian & natives a vote of 2. u to include them in a new reservation is highly to many of us who have been fighting pansion of the reservation system for the encouragin against ex Indians and other American native peoples. It is evi- dent that the natives in this region definitely do not want the reservation system extended to them. “In fact, the reservation system for the Indians failed or is failing all over t. e country. Instead advancing the Indians, it has segregated them away from main stream of American life and effectively hindered their progress toward a status of with the whites. We should move toward a policy of gradually abolishing the reservations and freeing the Indians from the legal disabilities that are applied only to them. In Alaska we should leave them fre o and come as they please, just as they can ¥ of equality today." Delegate Bartlett, whose opposition to the res- of Secretary Krug has been definite, ervation move interpreted the reservation vote by the Barrow Es- kimos as a “testimonial to their common good sense.” Mr. Bartlett continued “Those friends said Eskimos ched them asking competent advice and ex- of persecution if they vote against fear | In conclusion, Mr. Bartlett said that he was as- suring the Eskimo people “that if there is any attempt at persecution,” he will join in any effort that may be made to make sure that persons responsible are prosecuted. | So, if the intimidation was on the part of the ANS, it could not have been very effective to have resulted in a 231 to 20 vote against reservations. We can't figure it out. Maybe you can. We are inclined to agree with Delegate Bartlett, who called the mixup on the election dates “an all | time high of tic bungling,” but we think | the bungling is apparent in every step of the reserva- | tion action from the moment the reservations were first ordered by former Secretary Krug. We trust that the investigation asked by Secretary Arctic sun upon this the facts of the matter bureau Chapman will shed enough sinister controversy to bri to light. With all of the mixups over one election—what can we expect before the other two sc heduled elections are held. Puzzled by all of the opinions against reservations, | the overwhelming vote against the Barrow reserva- tions and the contrary interpretation given us by Interior of the vote, we tried to find some answer. A telegram to Barrow asking for an interpretation from each side of the question, brought no response. | A query to Washington asking how the Secretary of Interior interpreted the vote, brought the response | from the Associated Press that it had not been pos- sible to reach Secretary Chapman, but the Interior information man said “Secretary Chapman will have Ino comment at least until officially informed of elec- e o NSRSl THE DAILY ALASKA SMPIRE--JUNEAU, ALASKA [ FEBRUARY 14 Carol Jean MacDonald Jane Valentine Elkins Mrs, Chris Jorgensen Patrick Allen Emerson Bertha Beebe Axel Nielson Austin Brown John A, Larsen Mildred Bryson G Aalto Bach Mrs. Olaf Bodding Mrs, Edward Bach Nathyla MacDonald e o o o o o o RODEN FEATURED | SPEAKER AT JWC | | MEETING WEDS.

The handy 39-page guide listed 28 varieties reaching tree size in the Territory and included an identification key. The Douglas High School girls' basketball team left on the Queen for a three-game series in Wrangell, the only Southeast Alaska city having a girls’ team besides Juneau and Douglas. Douglas had won the Goldstein trophy for two successive years and was out for permanent possession of it. Coach Pepoon was taking the regular squad, including Mona Carlson, captain; Elizabeth Sey, Ruth Lundell, Rosie Africh, Mae Fraser and Vieno Wahto; and two subs—Josephine Kilburn and Effie Fleek. The second annual Fishermen’s Service in the Lutheran Church was announced for the following Sunday by the Rev. Allen. Although the closed season on halibut fishing ended that day, the North Pacific halibut fleet was to remain idle until the end of the month, by an agreement among vessel owners covering the entire coast. The postponement was because an oversupply of cold storage fish would weaken the market and make early fishing unprofitable. Jack White, proprietor of the Totem Grocery, entered St. Ann's Hospital for medical treatment. Ed Johnson, who had been there since January 30, due to a foot injury, was able to go home.

At the meeting of the Department of the Interior Field Committee in January, following a discussion of the reservation elections and passage of a motion urg- ing that “before any more Indian reservations are ordered that the Alaska Field Commitiee be con- sulted in each specific case (which would iadicate that the Field Committee expects—or fears—more reserva- | tions to be ordered) prior to action and that / kans likewise be given the opportunity to weigh and ex- press themselves on the merits or demerits of the con- templated action,” Chairman Kenneth Kadow mmed up the views of the Committee by saying that the Committee did not presume to pass judgment on the legality of aboriginal rights and Indian claims, but emphatically expressed its views against reservations as a means of settling them.” | This statement, said to be from the minutes of the recent Fieid Committee meeting in Ketchikan, ;h.w just reached The Empire desk. P. S. Since the above was written Sunday, we Empire of Mr. Chapman’s have read in Monday reaction to the Barrow election. His statement regarding intimidation in connec- tion with the vote has us more puzzled than ever. The only word of intimidation that has reached us came in an Associated Press dispatch from Wash- ington the day of the election. Delegate Bartlett told a reporter, according to he “had just received a telegram from Rusty AP, Heurin, ‘a distinguished painter who lived among the Eskimos, and Leon Vincent, who formerly taught at Barrow, charging incriminating tactics by lh’: Alaska Native Service representatives who are coercing Kobuk Eskimos to vote for the reservation.” | 2id to education i {1 can to see that work of our atomic scientists dur- ing and since the war had been overplayed by the newspapers. | But I will do all it gets a hearing in the House.” , he implied, could of the Territc ' dealing with the | tax laws, financial status, including | frozen funds and the financial ob- | ligations of the Territory.
