THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA o Eighteenth of a Series As a general thing a Memorial by the Territorial Legislature re- ceives little attention from thel public and not a whole lot from| the person or persons it is addressed ! to. Memorials usually ask for the construction of a road or an air- field or for the passage of some Lill or other by Congress, and they are mostly non-controversial in na- ture. A great majority of them are passed unanimously, or nearly un- animously. A Memorial becomes, then, little more than an elaborate petition, signed by members of the Legisla- ture. It has been estimated that it| costs something more than a hun-| dred dollars to process each Me-| morial through the Legislature, in-| cluding its final printing and bind- ing in book form. It is an expensive ‘kmd of petition, all things con- sidered. There have been hundreds and| hundreds of Memorials introduced | in 19 regular and a couple of special | sessions of the Alaska Leglslature.' Probably none of them has caused the widespread furore aroused by the introduction of House Memorial No. 4 of the 20t: Legislature ¢n January 29, 1951. This Memorial wiii never apnear | in the bound volume of tihe Session Laws of 1951. Except in the files of a handful of people who collect and keep dead and departed legislative measures, it is gone forever. But forever entombed in the| Journal of Proceedings of the House | of Representatives, Twentieth Ses- sion, Eighth Day, is the following: | “HOUSE MEMORIAL NO. 4, by Messrs. Carlson, Conright, Egan,| Kay, McCutcheon, Pollard and Sca-| venius, memorializing the Presid(‘nv_i and people of the United States of America, the Secretary General of the United Nations, and the| People of the Territory of Alaska,| that the obligations to Alaska be now recognized by the granting or( immediate statehood; statehood fail- from the Government of the United States be declared and the Republic of Alaska be formed, was intro- duced, read the first time and re- ferred to the Committee on Etate- hood.” When the above was read in the| House, there was a gasp of shockudi surprise from the other 17 members and the spectators in the gallery, and a wave of surprise, anger and | disgust apparently rolled quickly to all corners of the Territory and, perbaps, the nation. i Organizations in Alaska adopted | resolutions protesting the proposi- tion and condemning the author: .( Telegrams received by other mem-| bers of the House charged the| authors of the Memorial with im- maturity, irresponsibility, disloyalty and even treason. One of the authors told the House that he had received telegrams ap-| proving the Memorial, but he did] not offer to read any of them. Meanwhile, the House Committee on Statehood — Reps. Stepovich,| Gundersen, Laws and Scavenius—| after several days of deliberation, | | A NORTHERN NOTEBOOK By BOB DE ARMOND | committee on Statehood when she | settled, we believe, for all time. ALASKA COASTAL HAS reported the Memorial back to the| s o, | ) House without recommendation, Rep, Scavenius not concurring. It is quite apparent that the authors of the Memorial either sin- cerely wish independence if state- hood is not granted or they were merely seeking some cheap publicity on the statehood issue and in to seeking were treating with levity a matter that is of particularly grave in this time of world importance turmoil The authors’ lack of sincerity was disclosed when they attempted to amend the Memorial by striking out the demand for the right of in-! dependence. Rep. Amelia Gundersen of Ket- chikan, a member of the American Legion and other patriotic organiza- tions, voiced the feelings of a ma- jority of the members of the House labeled this move an effort to ‘make fools of the members of this committee.” And Rep. Mike Stepovich of Fair- banks made a stirring demand that ‘the members of this House stand; erd be counted on the real issue here—whether we, as loyal citizens United States, wish to have endence if we cannot have im- media‘> statehood.” 1 wuthors of the Me- meorial, Rep. Kay, offered ‘o “de- bate anyone on whether we ha\'Pl the right of independence.” Nobody ! came forward to debate the ques- tion, and there was no real need for it. Our nation once debated that issue on the battlefield in what is variously known as the civil War, the War Between the States and the War of S| The question was settled tl One of the There were others who insisted the language of the Memorial ought ! to stand. Rep. Scavenius wanted it there “to embarrass Congress for its neglect of Alask: and Rep. Metcalfe of Juneau id, *“Sure, leave it the way it is; Il vote for it.” But most of the Memorial's' authors seemed unhappy about mc‘ turn it haqd taken. Unable to modify | it by amendment and apparently unwilling to “stand and be counted” | on it in its original form, they. abjectly withdrew the Memorial. | “The greatest rout since Appomat- tox,” commented one spectator at| the end. | 24 ON TUESDAY TRIPS Passéngers carried by Alaska Coastal Airlines on Tuesday flights | numbered 24 with 13 arriving and| 11 departing.

KIWANIS HEARS FIRST AID TALK BY LEEGE | The importance of first aid knowl- edge to every individual was brought {out in a talk by Henry Leege at a regular luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis Club av the Baranof hotel this noon, Not only in connection with ci- vilian defense is the knowledge of first aid important but in case of auto accidents and other emergen- .cies that can and do occur, Leege said. “Many lives are lost every \ throughout the United States be- cause someone at the scene does not know how to control bleeding. There are other dangers beside bombing attacks here such severe fire during a Taku wind.” A new series of first aid classes will begin about April, Leege an- nounced, and urged all Kiwanians to participate. Lt. Norman Steinig charge of the program will be in next week.
