PAGE EIGHT CHAMBER BACKS UP HALIBUT FISHERIES ON OIL IMPORTS The Juneau Chamber of Com- | merce has sterped behind the local | halibut fleet in an effort to stop| the price-breaking effect of im-| ports of foreign vitamin oils. A letter has been prepared the organization's local committee charging that ‘“volume imports of cheap oil” have “destroy- | ed a good market and price” for| by industries | TDOT s saying, “It looks like book- | keeping errors—I see nothing crim- REPUBLICANS HEARDETAILS ABOUT AUDIT (Continued from Page One) inal here.” The committee demanded the the by-products of the halibut fish- | Presence of the Treasurer, threat- eries, It was approved at the Chamber meeting today and will' be sent to Dr. W. M. Chapman of the branch of the State Department which deals solely with international fish- ery problems. Pointing out that the 65 percent drop in the price paid for halibut livers and viscera which is ex- pected this year as the result of| cheaply produced imported oils will “destroy our local fleet,” the message suggests as an alternative the placing of “these oil-exporting countries on a quota for the United States and, if this i$ not adequate, to protect them further by way of tariff application on imports. An official of the Alaska Salmon | Industry, Inc., termed the vitamin | ofl problem “an international prob- lem which has landed square in tie middle of the Juneau boat harbor.” He said he has found that many halibut fishermen consider the probable 1950 price for halibut vis- cera—15 cents per pound-makes handling the viscera economically impractical. “Somewhere we must draw the line in helping foreign countries,” he said. The investigation of the effect if importation of Canadian dairy procec’s keing carriea out by the local industries committee was not | ening to bring in the U.S. Marshal, and finally received the Treasurer's written resignation. He did not go into the subsequent arrest and trial of Oscar Olsen, the Treasurer. Whitewash Attempt Butrovich, continuing his account of the audit, cracked at Governor Gruening’s recent Jefferson-Jack- son Day speech at Fairbanks which contained, he asserted, an effort by the governor to whitewash the whole affair by shifting the blame to the voters who elected Olsen to ffice. “Nevertheless,” Butrovich said, "the governor campaigned in 1942 ind again in 1946 for the election of his same Treasurer. And don’t for- ret that the Treasurer's name was on every voucher, authorized or unauthorized, and that is excellent campaign material.” “This whole thing was easy for me—TI am a Republican,” Butrovich sald. “It was not so easy for the other member of the committee, Representative James Nolan of Wrangell, who is a Democrat. He is, however, a good man and a con- scientious one and he performed his duty on the committee in a com- | mendable manner.” Butrovich lashed out, too, at the governor's long absence from the Territory at the time the audit was being made—"when he should have ready to be reported to the Cham- | heen here to extend some measure ber today. POINT 4 PLAN CUT WOULD SPREAD RED ASIA MOVE: ACHESON | (By the Associaied F. ) Secretary of State Acheson told Congress today that any cut in the $45,000,000 asked for President Tru- man’'s “Point Four” program would have unfortunate results on efforts to check Communism in Asia. “It would undoubtedly be in- terpreted by the peoples of the free countries of Asia, the Middle East and other underdeveloped areas as indicating a lack of interest in a program upon which they have been putting very great hopes,” he said. Acheson went before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to argue for the program program ot American technical aid to raise pro- duction methods and living stand- ards in backward areas of the world. The plan got the name “Point Four" from President Truman's listing ot it in his inaugural address last year. The Senate group is considering the proposal at a time when Ache- son is reported to be trying to draw Great Britain and France into a united front against the spread ot Communism in Asia. Acheson told the Senators that the $45,000,000 figure is a careful estimate of what is needed for the 12 months beginning July 1. Acheson and Roving Ambassador Philip C. Jessup gave a confidential report to the Senate Foreign Rela~ tions Committee on the Asian trouble center yesterday. At a recent British Common- wealth Foreign Ministers conierence at Colombo, Ceylon, British coun- tries worked out a similar aid pro- gram and urged American support. The Truman administration, seek- ing to fit the Point Four program into its overall Anti-Communist global plan, has asked Congress for $45,000,000 to get the ball rolling. Thus far the Congress has shown no great enthusiasm for the idea. ceoe ALASKA'S KEY POINTS only hours away by Clipper* . . ©® Fast and frequent Clipper service from Juneau to Nome, Fairbanks, Whitehorse and Ketchikan.

The statement brought a round of applause from the delegates. Mrs. Barnes, who is a Republican candi- date for re-election to the House, drew another round of applause when she lauded the people of Point Barrow for their recent vote re- Jecting a proposed reservation in | that area. Speaking briefly on the subject. “How and Why Alaska Republicans Will Win” this morning were Mrs. Helen Brosius, Carl Heinmiller, Al- bert White, William L. Paul, Sr., Cyril Zuboff and Mrs. Mjldred Her- mann. Committee work engaged the at- tention of a good many of the dele- zates last evening and this morning. Additional committee appointments include Sandy Stevens of Juneau to the Policy and Platform Committee and Mark Jacobs of Sitka to the Campaign Committee. Committee reports were expected to have the attention of the dele- zates during the afternoon session today. The final order of business will be the nomination of a Na- tional Committeeman for Alaska. ‘There appeared to be no doubt but that Austin E. “Cap” Lathrop will fill the position. Mrs. Margaret E.

COLD SHOULDER T0 VETERANS PLEA FOR $100,000 ‘DEFROST' The four-man Alaska World War II veterans’ board, meeting in Ju- neau this week with Veterans Af- fairs Commissioner Floyd’' Guertin, have received the cold shoulder from the Board of Administration in a request for $100,000 in frozen funds. The board was voted $1,200,000 by the 1949 Legislature to broaden loans for veterans’ homes and businesses to add to their revolving fund get up by a sales tax, but they were cut off by the “big freeze” of last June when the Territory went- in the red. The money was to be granted at $50,000 monthly on a loan basis, to be paid back starting in 1956. Guertin had previously asked the board, which froze all special ap- propriations, for $350,000, but was turned down. This was in January, before tax money began to roll in and funds started to ease. Meet Ends Today The veterans' board, composed ot Chairman John S. Hellenthal, Rob- ert Ellis, Roland Brousseau ana Wallace Cathcart Jr., winds up its first meet of 1950 today after a three-day session. First effort they made after get- ting together on budget and policy matters for the coming year, was to go before the Board of Adminis- tration and ask for $100,000, toning down their original request. The sum due them now stands at $550,000~which is at the rate of $50,000 monthly since tite legisla- ture made the appropriation. After hearing their plea, a letter was recefved from the administra- tion board, signed by Johh Dimond, for Attorney General J. Gerald Wil- liams. The letter said the financial picture “at this time is not clear, and in view of this, it is impossible to say if your funds can be un- frozen.” The board last week “defrosted” more than $260,000 to other agen- | cies when they found approximately half a million dollars would be left over after banks and vouchers were paid off. The Veterans Affairs board wanted some of this. Dimond's letter didn't shut the Aepartment out completely, however, He goes on to say that “within ths next few weeks the Treasurer hopes sion a detailed statement as to the 'mount of revenue which can be anticipated by the Territory for che rest of the year, and at that ‘ime the Board will be better able ‘o advise you if funds can be re- leased.” In answer to this, the Veterans Board expressed “keen disappoint- ment” at their turn-down. The answer reviewed activities of the veterans group since its incep- tion, and said: “Unless a substantial portion of the money is released immediately, many veterans will be denied the opportunity to purchase homes or initiate business ventures . . . the program will be stagnated for an- other year at least, if funds are not made available.” ‘The letter also points out that the Territory's development “is being drastically curtailed” by having the money hung up, and pleas for re- consideration of the decision to leave the sum in the deep freezer.

SCHOOL BUS MONEY FALLS SHY AS EXTRA PUPILS JAM ROOMS With one school child in seven hroughout the Territory taken to classes by bus, one such ride be- ing 22 miles each way, the appro- sriation for transportation is go- ing to fall $70,000 in the hole for the biennium, it was announced today by Dr. James C. Ryan, com- missioner of education. The Territory is paid up in its debts to the transportation pool to March 1, he said. Sums are just beginning to arrive in his office for March, and cannot be totalled for presentation to the Treasurer until later. The Territorial Board of Edu- cation was granted $300,000 for its transportation budget by the last legislature, the exact sum they had asked. This was an increase over the previous biennium, but scheol pop- ulation increased faster than the board expected. There are now more than 700 extra students clam- boring aboard their school buses each morning now than last year, and last year was far above the previous school term. Almost 2,000 children ride to and from classes each day. Dr. Ryan has contracts with kus com- ® High tide 6:31 pm, panies for $185,000 a year, $35,000 a year more than was estimated. He is allowed to shift funds in his various budgets the last six months of each biennium, and this year he must shift to make up the deficiency on the . transportation side. He feels he -will not have to ask for a deficiency appropriation, as other budgets in his care are com- ing out with funds left over, thus {allowing him to take care of the extra burden. The 22-mile ride for the Terri- tory’s record ride each morning and afternoon is from Eklutna to Anch- orage, Dr. Ryan saitl. Last year there was a 36-mile ride in the same vicinity, but this was split in two, because the long ride was working hardships on the young- sters. THREE BOYS BORN AT ST.
