THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA i | COMMUNICATION | To The Editor, Daily Alaska Empire:— This is written to point out sev- eral inaccuracies of fact in the ed- itorial appearing in last nght's Em- | pire (September 11) entitled “Sen- | ator Schoeppel’s Disclosures.” | When I was in New York on other business last March I was asked by Delegate Bartlett to check | with former clients of Randolph Feltus, who was being considered by the Alaska Statehood Committee for employment as a lobbyist for the statehood bill.

He had also done similar | work for Henry Kaiser, for Colonial Airlines, and had been appointed by Secretary of the Treasury Fred Vinson (now Chief Justice Vinson of the Supreme Court) as Assistant to the Secretary, in charge of pub- lic relations, I reported what I had learned to Delegate Bartlett in Washington. You make the categorical state- ment further along in your editorial that “he (Feltus) was not among those present at the statehood hearings held this spring at Wash- ington.” The fact is that Feltus was present throughout the hear- ings. I recall particularly that at one of the sessions I asked the chief lobbyist on the other side, Mr. W. C. Arnold of Seattle, who hap- pened to be sitting next to me, “Who is that fellow?” when Feltus entered the room, and was inter- ested in the reply indicating that Feltus was at least at that time unknown to Arnold. Subsequently, it appears, Mr. Arnold has found out about him, , In speaking of Feltus’ remunera- tion you say he “enjoyed briefly the distinction of being the highest salaried Territorial employee, sur- passing even George Sundborg, whose reputed income from the ‘Territory is reported to be in ex- cess of $14,000 a year.” I have no knowledge of what Feltus may have been paid, but I am acutely aware of my own income as contrasted with the exaggerated statements which have been made recently about it. Instead of $14,000, as you infer, my total income from the Territory (paid to me as Consult- ant for the Alaska Development matter of public record which you can easily verify right here in Ju- neau and which will save you the bother of using all those “reputed”s and “reported”s. - My Federal salary as Executive Assistant to the Gov- ernor, including the differential for Alaska service, is $8,250 per year. The total you will see falls some- what short of what has been so repeatedly alleged. Inquiry dis- closes, in fact, that there is one Territorial official and at least 30 Federal officials in Alaska who are paid higher -salaries than the total I receive from the Federal Gov- ernment and the Territory. Yours for accuracy, even in ed- | itorials and’ even in a year of pol- itical campaigns.

Mr. Sundborg had, of [ Juneau Public Schools. course, nothing to do with the sel- ection of Mr. Feltus.” The Little Man Who Wasn’t There As to Mr. Sundborg’s objection to the Empire’s statement that Mr. Feltus “was not among those pres- ent at the statehood hearings” The Empire based its assumption on the following statement of Senator O'Mahoney in the Congressional Record of September 5: “Now, let me say, Mr. President, that I have asked Mr. French of our staff to make a search of the files of our committee. Mr. French was cooperating with the Senator from New Mexico (Mr. Anderson) and the Senator from Nebraska (Mr. Butler) throughout the hear- ings on the question of statehood {for Alaska. I wanted to know whether Mr, Feltus had ever ap- peared before the committee, or had ever addressed any communi- cation, either written or oral, to the committee. Mr. French has just handed me a note: ) ‘There appears no communication in the committee files from Mr. Feltus.

Senator O'Mahoney says further: : “So, Mr. Feltus in his lobbying for | statehood for Alaska did not ap- | pear before the committee or speak to any of the members of the com- mittee, The Senator from Neb- raska (Mr. Butler) has stated that he never heard of him before. Mr. Feltus did not try to do any work either with the advocates or opponents of Alaskan statehood who are members of the commit- tee.” Senator Lucas, majority leager of the Senate, said during the Scho- eppel disclosures September 5: “It would appear that perhaps Mr. Fel- | tus would at least get acquainted | with the majority leader of the Senate with respect to Alaska and Hawali, I want to say that the first time I ever heard the man’s name was when I heard the state- | ment made by the Senator from | Kansas.
