But it is vague. What are those resources? Our fisheries? Liquor? We have no gold mining to speak of nor will we have until the price of gold is raised or miners are allowed to sell gold on a free market. Our timber? We have been through the pulp mill fight and hopeful as we have been about the establishment of this industry in Alaska at this moment we wouldn’t count on taxes { from pulp mills to help pay for statehood. For his forthright statement against the proposi- tion of Indign Reservations, we thank the Governor.

We wish that the Statehood DED STATEHOOD BILL, ! A VAGUENESS Though there are few questions on which Governing Gruening and eye to eye, ‘apparently we agree on the matter of Indian Reservations in Alaska as planned by the De- partment of the Interior. At a recent meeting of the Chamber of Commerce when he was discussing the Statehood Bill now before a Senate Committee, the Governor said that the re- vised Bill would leave the matter of Indian Reserva- tions to the proposed state. “As you know,” the Governor said, “I feel that the establishment of Indian Reservations is the height of folly. We shouldn’t have any reservi the future.” There was no Gruening. hedging on the Committee, before voting on the Bill would send a fiscal committee north to help us figure out the cost of statehood—and suggest means of raising the neces- sary funds from Alaska’s small population and limited resources to meet that cost. The Shrinking Dollar (Cincinnati Enquirer) The baseball season now under way provides a topical illustration of what effect the “Roosevelt” and “Truman” dollar has had upon our cost of living. Ted Williams, the Red Sox slugger, is drawing a record pay check this year—$125.000. Note has been taken of the fact that it eclipses the monumental salary of $80,000 which Babe Ruth drew from the Yankees in 1930 and 1931. However, even though Williams today draws $45,000 more a year than Ruth did 20 years ago, his “take-home pay” is appreciably less—more than $6,000 less as a matter of fact. The. steeply increased Federal taxes take the difference. That comparison makes no allgwance for the shrinkage of the buying power of the dollar since the onset of the New Deal and the Fair Deal. The Foundation for Economic Education estimates that when account is taken of this factor, Ted Williams, although he ostensibly gets more than half again as much as Ruth, actually draws a little more than half —or 57 per cen—of what the noted Yankee did. That’s his pay in terms of what money will buy today, which is the important thing. The illustration need not be confined to baseball players, of course, even though they provide dramatic Even while this country has grown im- ABOUT COST | regarding Alaska The Empire see ations now, or in subject by Mr. comparisons. e was hedging by the speaker, however, when | i RS T egE L Ly P mensc'y wealthier through greater industrialization a Chamber of Commerce member asked if considera- {and development of natural resources, much of the tion had been given by the Senate Committee at the prosperity that President Truman takes credit for Statehood hearings to the cost of stat ehood | today is more apparent than actual.

If a plane crashed, it is all briefs before the Court of Ap-| peals, even when they do not pm-l l u sonally agree with the case.

Twe Connecticut Friends Secretary of Siate Acheson and able Senator Brien McMahon, both from the State of Connecticut, have a peculiar relationship. Neither is too fond of the other, yet McMa- hon has been one of Acheson's staunchest defenders. Acheson, who has a peculiar fac- ulty for saying the wrong thing to senators at the wrong time, was standing in the receiving line of a diplomatic reception, when the Connecticut senator and his beau- tiful wife Rosemary approacliéd. As he shook hands, the Secretary of State remarked to his wife: “Alice, here is an ogre whom I would like ‘to knock over the head, accompanied by the most beauli- ful woman in Washington.” Acheson smiled when he said it. Nevertheless, the remark was not partcularly appreciated. The personal friction Acheson and McMahon dates back to the days when Ache- son’s father, the Episcopalian bish- op of Connecticut, refused to per- form the marriage ceremony for McMahon's close friend and law associate, Homer Cummings, first attorney general under Roosevell Cummings had been divorced, and Bishop Acheson refused to sanction his second marriage. More recently, observers have de- tected a note of resentment around the State Department at the man- ner in which McMahon has taken the initiative away from Acheson by expounding some A-1 ideas on breaking through the iron curtain Despite personalities, however, Mc- Mahon has continued to be one of the best friends of the State De- partment on Capitol Hill Note—McMahon is torn between two advisers—New York Times cor- respondent Arthur Krock, who ar- between probably ranged for his historic Truman in- | terview while dining with McMa- hon; and colun Marquis Child When the senator from Connecticut goes liberal, Childs is not averse to claiming credit for it Taft’s Friend It never leaked out during Sen- ator Taft's battle against reorgan- fzing the National Labor Relations Board, but NLRB counsel, Robert Denham, whom Taft defended, has gone to extreme lengths to show his bitterness toward labor Believe it or not, but he has act- ually refused to sign cases in the Court of Appeals where unions complain against employers—except in one instance. But in every case that a company {s the complainant against a union in the Court of Appeals, Denham signs the NLRB brief. FPor years it has been customary for government attorneys to s% sign.

TO JOIN IN PUBLICITY TOURIST BOOKLETS | Alaska and British Columbia will join forces in promoting a joint tourist program this year, it is an- nounced by George Sundborg, con- sultant for the Alaska Development Board. The board, which met here late last week for the first time this biennium, decided to mateh funds with the Department of Trade and 1 Industry of the province to issuej two booklets for distribution among! agencies who would in turn dis-| tribute them to tourists interested | in the two picturesque lands. Each board will spend $1,000 for printing the pamphlets, Sundborg said. One will be for yachtmen, with pictures and descriptions of the in- side passage from Victoria to Skag- way, and the other will be on the| Alaska Highway for motorists. The board is also considering an application to join the Pacific Northwest Association, a group of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia interests who advertise the Northwest in national publica- | tions to draw tourists. The associ- ation also issues a booklet for dis- tribution among travel agents. A commercial survey of Haines will be done this summer, Sundborg said, with emphasis of: benefit| gained by the community if the Haines Cut-off highway would ‘be kept open all winter. Ralph Browne, assistant manager of the board, will do the survey. The board's office in Juneau h: handled 11,932 inquiries during the; year ending April 1, 1950, Sundborg said. These ranged from assistance on business inquiries, tourist queries and employment matters, to home- steading and miscellaneous letters. Some 44,000 “Seeing Alaska” fold- ers have been distributed so far this year. Thé board met for one day only, in the office of Gov. Ernest Gruening.

JUNE 6, 1930 Accompanined by faithful “Red” Chisholm and three other young students, the Rev. Bernard Hubbard, explorer and professor of geology at Santa Clara University, had just arrived in Alaskan waters, according to word received here by his former classmate the Rev. Menager. With headquarters at Chignik on the Alaska Peninsula, Father Hubbard planned to explore what he had already named the “Moon Craters.” He was to be in Juneau in August, returning to California’. After a month up the Whiting River in the vicinity of Lake Crescent, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Manville returned to Juneau. Prospecting up the Whiting, Manville reported nothing particularly good, but he did bring down three brown bears. 3 At a meeting called by Acting Mayor Cochrane of Douglas, that com- munity made plans for celebrating the Fourth of July. Robert Bonner was elected chairman of the association and Guy L. Smith, secretary- treasurer. Bonner named Rangnar Kronquist chairman of a finance committee, and these other members: W. E. Cahill, J. R. Guerin, James Edmiston, W. E. Feero, Gust Lundell, L. W. Kilburn, Arne Shudshift, A. J. Balog, Glen Kirkham, A. R. Edwards and Dick McCormick, Jr. Miss Impi Aalto returned to Douglas from Campfire Girls quarters at the end of the island, reporting that the girls were having a fine time. Mrs. Robert Fraser went to the camp to help Mrs. Charles Fox, supervisor. The American Legion Auxiliary met in the Dugout and elected these delegates to the September Department Convention in Anchorage: Mesdames Robert Kaufman, Waino Hendrickson, Claud Helgeson, Homer Nordling, Harry Stonehouse, Helen Boylan and Edith F. Sheelor. Alter- nates were Mesdames R. R. Hermann, Fannie Robinson, M. J. Bavard, Martin Jorgenson, E. L. Gruber, Robert Simpson and A. B. Clark.
