These payments were made to Mr. Feltus through Delegate Bartlett and photostatic copies of the checks and vouchers appear elsewhere in today’s Empire. Also, should statehood for Alaska he achieved, Mr. Feltus was to have been paid an additional $1500 per month, Just what Mr. Feltus has done to earn this gen- erous sal: is not quite clear.

Senator Scott Lucas, Senate Majority Lead~ er, had never met Feltu had he heard his nam until Senator Schoeppel made his statement last week And so with Senator Hugh Butler, outstanding op- ponent of statehood. He was equally unaware of Feltus' identity. In fact, the only Senators who pro- fessed to know the man were Senators Johnson of Colorado and Brewster of Maine—both of whom be- -ame acquainted with him through his efforts on half of the Indonesian Government. nc be: It js difficult to understand how Delegate Bart- lett, Governor Gruening and other officers of the Statehood Committee, as our Territorial public of- ficials entrusted with the expenditure of public funds, could employ the services of a lobbyist without a check- up of his past activities and employment. Randolph Feltus, for the five month minimum period of his employment received $8,000 and enjoyed briefly the distincton of being the highest salaried, Territprial employee, surpassing even George Sundborg, w\mse reputed income from the Territory is reported te be in excess of $14,000 a year There is an apparent divergence of opinion as to the manner of Mr. Feltus' separaton from thé Styate- Feltus because the legislature had voted $80,000 for | hood Committee payroll.
