Anita Garnick and YOURSELF. Senator Gunnard Engebreth, ac- cording to my files, the following are reported: That in 1949 you called at the home of Albert White and asked him to get in touch with Senator Anita Garnick for you; the purpose to secure her vote for you for President of the Territorial Senate, She so voted in 1949. that Later, it is reported, you introduced a bill to create the of- fice of Deputy Commissioner of Labor at a salary of $5,400.00 per year. Ed Garnick, brother of Sen- ator Anita Garnick, who had no experience, qualilications or any such earning capacity, was ap- pointed to this position. In 1951, Senator Anita Garnick introduced a bill to raise her bro- ther's salary from $5,400.00 per year to $7,500.00 per year raise of nearly $175.00 per month) while the school teachers and others were increased only about $25.00 per month. As I understand it, you vo- ted for this bill. Now you have before you the Re- organization Bill which would take away from the people of Alaska their right to elect their own Trea- surer and Auditor. As written, the bill places you on the Board of Ad- ministration in place of these elec- ted officials and, of course, much more powerful position, To my idea, neither you nor Sen- ator Garnick should be permitted to vote on these bills in which you have a perscnal interest. Albert White, Chairman, Investi- gating Committee.

Agency Shattuck Phone 249 Seward Street JUNEAU SENATE FOR OVERRIDING VETOEDTRIO (Continued from Page One) a dozen bills at the night session. Pass Dozen Bills They included (all passed by the House): Reduction of the General Prop- erty Tax on fishing boats from $4 net ton; granting police pow- ers to civilian defense authorities increasing aid to dependent chil- dren to $70 monthly from $50. The Senate killed two labor-spon- sored bills by failure to suspend rules to advance them to final pas- sage before the deadline. One proposed figuring experience rating credits in computing employ- er's contributions under the unem- ployment compensation law — an $800,000 issue now before the court —and the other proposed allowing easonal wage credits under unem- ployment compensation for season industry workers who earn 20 per cent of their wages outside the in- dustry. The Senate also rejected a House bill to allow the Welfare Depart- ment to contract with the, Alaska Native Service for care of native indigents, The House tabled a Senate-ap- proved bill for creation of a land jepartment under the tax commis- sioner for registration of all Alaska lands. The government Financial Reor- yanization Bill was slated as a spe- »ial order of business in the Senate this afternoon. Slum Clearance The Senate in the final hour completed legislative approval for the Alaska Housing Authority Bill enabling slum and blighted area previously $2 a eminent domain. It tabled a bill for licensing real estate brokers. The governor’s second veto (his first of two yesterday) also involves mortgages. It would extend fro one to wo years the time in Wk renewal affidavits for chattel mort- gages can be filed after the date the mortgage became due. ‘,’rhe Governor’s long veto message h a “Dog in the Manger” latti- tude.

The Senate passed 11 bills at an afternoon session, All previously had passed the House. The Senate passed, 11-5, 2 bill to repeal the Territory’s Public Em- ployes Retirment’ Act to allow em- ployes to go under Federal Social Seeurity instead. It involved a long controversy. An amendment was added yester- day for the Territory to provide benefits for long-time employes who will become eligible fof retirement the | ander the bill in the next five years and who wouldn’t have a chance tc build up Social Security credits. Differences A difference of legal opinion de- veloped over whether Territoria employes were assured of getting into the Social Security setup un- der a previous measure, Senate Bil’ 53. Attorney General J. Gerald Wil- liams advised that the use of the word “may” instead of “shall” jeo- pardized the act. So Senator MacKenzie introduced a quickie bill to amend it and it went through both Houses before the midnight bells tolls, although the Senate first turned it down Some of the senators were piqued because Anita Garnick and Frank Barr had warned during the after- noon that there was a legal loop- hole. After some lecturing about misplaced “spirit of levity” about the situation, a second vote brought the necessary two-thirds to admit the bill. The Senate passed, 13-2, a bill to modify the bounty on hair seals which ran up a $200,000 deficit dur- ing the present biennium. The bill cuts the bounty from $6 to $3 and eliminates the vast Northern Eskimo area where there are no salmon runs for the seals to prey on. The bill eliminated all the area north of Kruzenstern, which is clearance, bond issues and power of | | | slightly above Kotzebue. It eliminat- ied all the Arctic Ocean area, islands in the Bering Sea and the coastal area between the north side of \Bmwl Bay and Stebbins along the ‘ Bering seacoast. | Other bills passed by the Senate | included a $50,000 appropriation for the taxation department; and a bill to put on the next general election ballot the question of whether the | people want the Territory to take over full control of Alaska fisheries from Federal agencies. ENIWETOK IS SCENE OF NEW ATOMIC TEST | WASHINGTON, March 21 —(®— The Atomic Energy Commission in- dicates it is now conducting new atomic blasts at Eniwetok. | The commission said in a state- ment that a major project “is be- ing carried out” at the super-secret Pacific Island test grounds. “In order to assure the safety of vessels and aircraft operating in the Central Pacific, only units |of the (testing) task force are per- mitted within the danger area | around Eniwetock Atoll,” the state- ment added. Asked directly if new atomic blast tests are being conducted, commis- sion officials said they could add nothing to the statement. The commission had previously announced that further tests would be held at Eniwetok. While today's announcement did not flatly say the blasts were act- ually underway, the language indi- cated as much, The announcement said the new series of tests include, provisions for measuring the effects of atomic blasts “on structures and materials | of various kinds” and declared: | “This information will be made | available to the Civil Defense Ad- | ministration.” | The “testing season” at Eniwetok | —from the standpoint of the weath- | er — begins late in March.
