Additional information, including | an annual report to the Legislature, would be made available in Alaska.. Research Program A research program on & slatz constitution would be initiated,! with efforts made to have the Uni- versity of Alaska participate, The committee voted to urge Bartlett to concentrate on state- hood efforts and to ignore what it ! referred to as attempts of oppon- ents to sabotage the measure by presenting other * bflls for ‘the popular election of the Governor.

Past elections have shown some Natives want them, others do not. But if Butler had his way the statehood bill would deadlock the matter, It could remain deadlocked for years.” Peratrovich said that after the amendment was added to the old bil the Natives made efforts to have it removed. “They opposed the amendment but still were strong for statehood,” he declared.

About the only defect Rhode said, was lack of adequate | warehouse space for housing the | small craft. “Machine shop facilities in Ju- |neau are far superior to those we have in Seattle and if the problem | of warehouse space can be resolved | there is a good chance the move (of the fleet headquarters will be ]made,' Rhode said. | A minimum crew of between 20 }n.nd 30 men are employed for over- hauling of vessels. A number of them are permanent crew members of the larger vessels. Operations Time Extendzd Rhode said that under its con- solidation here the Fish and Wild- life Service is making more use of its vessels in the winter pro- gram. The season for winter fishe eries work is growing longer each year and the fur seal patrol 1§ now almost a year round operation. “Moving the fleet headquartets and maintenance base from.Seattle to Juneau would mean we cotild | consolidate Alaska fisherles ves- sels with those operated in the Al- aska game, predator and refuge programs,” said Rhode. “It would givé us a consolidated vessel op- eration for the entire Service such as we have in our aircraft opera- tion and greatly facilitats the Ser- vice program in Alzska.
