Police Chief Caryl Gewiss was theoretically ghot down in his head- cuarters for failure to turn over his office to the Reds. Leader of the flying squad which took over the police station was Benjamin Gitlow, who once was the real @ecretary-General of the Commu- nist party in the United States. Real party members were not in ®vidence as the 2,200 residents of Mosinee began the one-day trial of life under Soviet rule. However, z:pies of the Daily Worker and mphlets denouncing the Ameri- can-Legion sponsored demonstration were distributed to homes some time Saturday night. p: D:ngged From Bed The surprise element apparently was maintained even for city offi- als in on the planning. One of coordinated assault teams of six armed men each dragged pro- esting Mayor Ralph E. Kronen- l ter from his bed into the snowy eet. He faced Joseph Jack Kornfeder, the Commissar-for-the- day, who told the shivering mayor “he was an “enemy of the people.” « Kronenwetter, his city hall as- sociates and other civic leaders were allowed to dress, then were garted off to a barbed wire en- closure. While the first arrests were made, bther assault teams threw up road ‘blocks, posted proclamations ard raised the Red banner over -city hall and the police station. “Commies” In Control ‘Three hours after the first offi- clals were seized the city was in almost complete control of the Communists. There was ohe no- ble exception—an American flag 1 streamed brightly over the police station, apparently over- oked by the security police, Red flags bearing the hammer and sickle over most business places and armed guards patrolled lic buildings. Clergyman Imprisoned Gitlow and two of his police im- prisoned a clergyman whom they found in the pulpit of his church, &manuel Lutheran Mission. Proclaiming “We confiscate your church as an institution against ¢he working class,” Gitlow sent the Rev. Lyle Koenig to the barbed- wire enclosure. jv“You teach superstition, Wleve in the hereafter,” shouted at the pastor.

'ASHINGTON — Wisconsin's “Huey Long” got an earful of ad- vice the other day from one of his' informants, GOP Congressman Walter Judd of Minnesota, a form- er China missionary and an out- spoken friend of the China lobby. Judd gave McCarthy the names of some whom the China lobby had branded as Communists, but warned: “Joe, I'll be glad to give §ou what I've got, but I don't have any proof. If I had any Proo!, I would have tried to con- yict them myself.” \ Then Congressman Judd further urged: “You've got to stop mak- ing so many speeches and extrav- agant charges, Joe.

That was the question with whicn witnesses were confronted at the statehood hearings of three years ago when they suggested that Alaska ought to be granted more of her lands than one section in every nine, The principal reason Alaska should receive a much larger per- centage of her total land area upon admittance is that so little has been done, compared with what was done in other territories, to make her ready for statehood. This is particularly true in the matter of public land surveys. The zrants of land in the present state- hood bill, HR. 331, depend almost entirely upon the completion of rec- tangular or township surveys of the land. As has been previously noted, ap- proximately two and a half million acres of Alaskan land have been laid out in rectangular surveys. This is about two-thirds of one percent of the total land area and is mic- roscopic when compared with the percentage of surveyed land in other U.S. territories when they were ad- mitted to statehood: Arizona, almost 30 percent surveyed; New Mexico, a fraction under 70 percent; Okla- homa, 100 percent surveyed; Wyo- ming, more than 75 percent, and s¢ forth. Not gne single territory has been admitted to statehood since the Civil War with less than 20 per- cent of its lands already laid out in rectangular surveys by the Federal government, and the average has been around 50 percent. ‘Work of Interior Dept. The Interior Department make: a great deal of fuss and talk about developing Alaska but it has done next to nothing toward helping de- velopment by getting the lands sur- veyed. The surveying of Alaskan land, under the present statehood enabling act, would continue to be a function of a branch of the In- terior Department and the bill con- tains no guarantee whatever that this bureau will make surveys more rapidly in the future or even that it will make any at all. During the past few weeks ges- tures have been made in Congress to give Alaska more of her lands and resources with statehood, but gestures are about all they have amounted to. Senator Hugh Butler of Nebraska proposed that Alaska -be granted eighteen sections of land in each township instead of four. The same proposal was made in the House ot Representatives when the statehood bill was under consideration there. Eighteen sections would amount to fifty percent of the land in each township, but whether the grants are four sections or eighteen their actual acquisition by the new state, under this type of legislation, w:li depend upon the completion ot rectangular surveys. The only way in which the pro- posed state of Alaska can receive portions of her lands immediately will be through enabling legislation similar to Delegate Bartlett’s H.R. 206. This legislation would grant all of the land, surveyed or unsurveyed, to the new state. Excepted would be certain specific areas, such as Mc- Kinley National Park and the naval oil reserve in the Arctic, which would remain under the ownership and control of the Federal govern- ment. When that type of legislation is enacted, and only then, can Alaska throw off some of the fetters of bu- reaucratic ‘control and begin to de- velop her own resources and build a stable economy. The sad fact is that there has been little industrial development in Alaska during the past couple of decades and the more rosy the deyelopment plans pro- pounded by the bureaucrats, both Federal and home-grown, the less actual development there is. Examination Facts Much has been made of the fact that development has followed statehood in other sections of our country. It is a fact that cannot be denied, but it is also a fact that requires some examination. The very fact that the territories became states leaves forever unanswered the question whether development would have taken place Wwithout statehood. Much of the great de- velopment in our western states came before the professional plan- ners and developers appeared on the scene and before the present Federal tax structure pyramided it- self upon the investor and the busi- nessman. Alaska’s resources must ultimately be developed, if they are developed at all, in great part by small busi- ness enterprises. Under the present structure of taxes and restrictions it is next to impessible for a small enterprise to finance expansion and Alaska’s golden age of industrial development was in the first two decades of this century. In those early years there were, for instance, two copper smelters operated in Southeast Alaska and a great many mines produced both base and pre- cious ores and metals. Today the smelters are only a memory and most of the mines have long since closed although a great deal of min- eral remains in the ground. In that period Alaska also had a pulp mill, a real, honest-to-goodness operating pulp mill. It long ago went out of business and teday there are hopes of getting another, but only hopes. In those years the copper mines at Ellamar and Latouche and Ken- necott were opaned and put into production. Mining was a thriving industry, in fact, from Portland Canal to the Arctic Circle. Rail- roads were built a.nq’ operated with private capital and a half dozen steamship lines operated 20 to 30 vessels with full cargoes both north- bound and southbound. More isal- mon canneries were built and op- JUNEAU, ALASKA, MONDA 1HE TIME” [ MAY 1§ 1950 MARBLE CHAMPS RECEIVE AWARDS FROMLIONS CLUB Nine young men were honor guests today at the weekly lunch- eon meeting of the Juneau Lions’ Club, and all nine were given awards for their prowess in play- ing marbles. Robert Peters received handsome and conclusive proof of his skill— a beautiful gold cup—and medals were given the three top players in each division. Bob topped them all in the first Lion-sponsored Marbles Tourna- ment last week, after taking first honors in the division for boys from 12 to 14 years old, inclusive. In the finals, run off Friday, Fred- die Hulse came in second, and James Boddy, third, for honorable mention. Both were represented among the ‘“big three” in their own divisions. Peter Wood, Jr., received the gold medal for winning in the division ior 9-year-olds and younger; Dick Reynolds was awarded the silver medal for second, and Allan Shat- tuck, 2nd, received a bronze one for being third. ©imilar medals went to John IBailey. Kenny West and James erated during the first two decades|Bcddy for boys 10 and 11 years of this century than have been built or operated since, and the salmon season then lasted from March until November instead of a few short weeks. Halibut fishing was a year- around occupation and other fish- eries, including cod-fishing and whaling, were thriving businesses. Alaska Once Prosperous Alaska was prosperous in those early years, and the prosperity was based upon solid industries, not upon the spending of taxpayers’ dollars for government construction. It was also during the first de- cades of this century, during the decades of Alaska’s greatest indus- trial development and prosperity, that the fight for territorial gov- ernment was carried on. It was near the mid-point of the period that Alaska finally became an organized territery with her own legislative assembly. The fight for full territorial status was a long and bitter one and it parallels astonishingly the present fight for statehood. Bills for terri- torial government for Alaska were introduced in Congress after Con- gress and many hearings were held. Virtually the same arguments were presented on both*sides of the ter-, ritorial questions forty years ago that are now being presented on the statehood question and often the language is almost identical. Territorial government will pro- mote the development of Alaska said the proponents of the various bills, the cost of such government will be a burden on industry and will even- tually drive it away, the opponents asserted. Fed. Bureaus Increase It is now apparent that Alaska has not had the great industrial development that was supposed to have followed the establishment of territorial government. Rather, the reverse has been true and the de- cline has been pointed out by his- torians and other disinterested stu- dents of Alaskan affairs. Perhaps the fact of territorial government had nothing to do with this, but 1t seems significant that the faster the cost of operating the territorial government has risen and the more the power of the Federal bureaus has increased the faster the basic industries of Alaska have declined. A great many of the ills of Alaska have been laid to the defects of the Organic Act passed 'by Congress when the organized territory was created. The Organic Act contains many restrictions and a number of defects. In reading the old bills for an Organic Act of Alaska it be- comes immediately apparent that each succeeding bill became less liberal and placed more restrictions on the proposed territorial govern- ment. These added restrictions were necessary, it was clmme.d by sup- porters of the measures, to mini- mize opposition by the executive de- partments and to insure passage by Congress. “It doesn’t matter, so long as we get the bill passed,” they argued “We can cure the defects later.” Restrictions — Defects ‘Those restrictions and defects are still on the books despite 38 years of effort by the Territory of Alaska to have them removed. And they are the limitations in our present ter- ritorial government most com- plained of by the proponents of statehood, any kind of statehood, for Alaska. History is very evidently repeat- ing itself in the move toward state- hood. The original bill was yery lib- eral in its provisions for® Alaska, The present bill is far less liberal. Why? Because withhholding the lands and resources of the new state old. Winners in the match for boys 12 to 14 years old were Rob- ert Peters, Freddie Hulse and Tom- my Abbott. The Rev. Walter Soboleff, chair- man, made the presentations, and thanked the fellow Lions who served with him on the committee, They are Harold Zenger, Bob Shuff, Bob Scott, Lt. D. P. Applegate, Dade 'Nickel and Jack Glover. Two adults came in for honors, too, Col. John R. Noyes and Al Ransome being given handsome keys for their outstanding activit- jes in bringing in new members. The keys are furnished by the in- ternational organization for such achievement. Milton J. Furness made the presentations. Two comung events are sched- uled by the Lions—one for mem- bers only, the other for the pleas- ure and enjoyment of all Gasti- neau Channel residents. Wednes- day evening, armed with saws, axes, rakes and shovels, the hardy Lions will rendezvous at 7 o'clock at the Douglas Community Beach which the club maintains espec- jally for a children’s playground. This will be strictly a work party, but so enthusiastic are the Lions about cleaning the beach that they expect to get the whole job done in one concentrated session. In the absence of Bob Shuff, chair- man, Carl Rusher made the re- port today. The other event is the May § concert of the famed Mt. Edge- cumbe chorus, in the 20th Century Theatre, In order not to competc in any way with the big music festival this weekend, Lions will not go into action until Monday afternoon on their event.
