THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1951 - LIQUOR CASH EVIDENCE IS GIVEN SENATE (Continued from Page One) RIS S— e treasurer’s records do not indicate any subsequent collection of the balance of $17,292 or the $1,500 returned check.” Letter Quoted williams quoted a letter from webb, in which he expressed sur- prise. Webb wrote that he had sent in all his stamps at the time jhe closed his accounts. He said he was “ctunned” later when he got a bill for them. He wrote that both he and his wife had incomes so there was no plausible reason for any stamp money irregularity. Grand Jury Report The attorney general also told senators out of a clear sky that he expects to collect $4,350 from the company that bonded Ar- chie L. Brown, former deputy tax collector at Anchorage. A grand jury heard evidence last the year involving alleged borrowing f $555 of territorial money by Brown, for which there was res- titution. It gave him a clean bill and lauded his services. williams spoke caustically of the grand jury action ‘and said “I thought before I got out I was go- |ing to be indicted myself.” ‘Of course he may be innocent, but after an auditor completed work on his accounts, the tax commis- sioner found what appears to be a $4,350 additional shortage. Williams said the last listed ad- dress he had for Brown was in Georgia. FORESTER HERE FOR CONFERENCE C. M. Armstrong, supervisor in the Petersburg division for the Forest Service, was due to arrive in Juneau today. He will be here several days to confer with regional oificials regarding timber manage- ment operations in the Petersburg area. P. O.

But you are. And here is how you, as a citizen of the United States, are creating the greatest success in all history. Remember back in 1941 when the Defense Bonds you were buying sud- denly had to become War Bonds? How you and your neighbors pitched in to buy them in ever-increasing numbers, to back our fighting men and to help achieve the victory of World War 112 After V-J Day, when those bonds became Savings Bonds, you continued to buy them because you had learned how regular saving could build secu- rity and contentment for yourself and those you love. The face of the land has undergone some dramatic changes in those years since V-] Day. Now the landscape is dotted with new homes that Savings Bonds built. Thousands upon thou- sands of new automobiles travel the highways—Savings Bonds cars, bought with the product of individual thrift. Ou the farms, Bond-purchased equip- e | The U. S.

So has the ambition of loving parents to send their children through college. ‘Time and time again, Savings Bonds have made those dreams and many others come true.

And this is only the beginning of the story. Even after accomplishing so much, millions of American families still enjoy the financial security of owning more than fifty billion dollars— fifty thousand million dollars in Savings Bonds. More than at the peak of wat-time Bond holdings! How much money is that? It’s enough Sheir palsiotic Kind of a king-size sugcess story, isn’t it?

Of the total, $150,000 will be for administration, and. civilian training ang $250,000 for Federal matching. Appropriation Bill | In the general appropriations | bills, both Houses accepted the Sen- | ate cut of $500,000 from House fig- | ures for the Department of Public Welfare, setting the total at $2,- 896,000. This is nearly $700,000 above the 1949 appropriation. They boosted funds for the Uni- versity of Alaska, which was the hardest hit by earlier House prun- ing. The school was boosted $67,000 in cooperative categories in which Federal matching funds are avail- able, The legislators also added $150,~ 000 for new construction to the $650,000 construction total. This brought the university total to $2,241,655, compared with the House figure of $1,997,555. The appro- priation in 1949 was $2,155,730. The university regents had asked $3,- 090,267, Reorganization Bill The Senate had a lively debate before it passed the amended Reor- ganization Bill. Some of the kernels gleaned from the arguments included: Lyng (D-Nome): “No matter how much the bill has been improved by amendments, it still is one that has no place at this ion. This bill has been kicking around 18 months in this building and T can prove it. It doesn’t take a mind reader or seer to tell what was behind the orig- inal” He said an investigating committee would have been better. Barr (D-Fairbarks): “This bill tends to correct the situation (which led to treasury defalcations). There wouid be a full-time auditor to check up. We have amended it to throw the governor right out the window. I don’t se¢ what there is left to object to.” Anderson (D-Nome): “I'm afraid sorne" senators ‘are fiot informed on what's inside thé”Bill. T'feel it is too fast at moving ahead. Legisla- tors have no business being on the board.” Audit Revelations Butrovich (R-Fairbanks): “The audit revealed many things. T won- der how bad can an operation get before we try to correct it. This may not work perfectly but it can’t be as bad as things are now. I don’t like Territorial officials on the board, but would prefer legislators age): “Placing of responsibility irlsaid Rep. Franklin, “I hope it is an now. It's time an accountability was fixed.” Lhamon (R-Fairbanks): “We have what compares to an old coun- try store in the Territorial Govern- ment. There may be holes in this plan, but we can change it later if necessary.” MacKenzie (D-Ketchikan): “This will be a big improvement and I'm for it.” Engstrom (R-Juneau) : “I'm against it. The trouble has been in not having audits made regularly. I don't believe in the Legislature throwing out two elective officers.” Snider (R-Wasilla): *““The head man should be elected by the peo- ple, not by us.” Nolan (D-Wrangell) : start sémewhere to cor nancial si‘uation, and tI place to make the step.” HOUSE HAS (LAMOROUS LAST HOURS (Continued from Page One) “We have to ect the fi- s is a good but hard to vote for more taxes,” he acknowledged. Rep. Johnson, along with Reps. Hendrickson, Laws, Locken, Mac- Kinnon, Miscovich, Stepovich and Wilbur voted against the salmon tax increase. Civil Defense The Civil Defense Bill, brought out on the floor late in the after- noon, aroused a geoa deal of oratory and flag-waving. The exce costs of complete evacuation of ci- vilians was pointed out and the probabilities of evacuation as against mere dispersal of civilians were combed over. The Ways and Means Committee had recommended an appropriation of $135,000 for the new Civil De- fense set-1u, i t quickly became eviderrt tnat this line could not be held. When the members returned from the dinner recess, Ways and Means Chairman Glen Franklin proposed increasing the appropriation 1o $300,000 and this figure was adopted and the bill passed without further debate. Later in the evening the House members approved a further increase to $400,000 as recommended by the Conference Comimittee. . Reorganization “Although there has been a lot of talk about this bill, it is really relatively simple and not as great 1 change as people imagine,” Henry Roden told the House when the re- organization bill came before it. “For the first time,” said Roden, “we will begin to center authority and responsibility in one person. If we get the right administration the additional costs should not be great, ard thousands of dollars that only.” Steve McCutcheon For ALL FISHING SUPPLIES!

MacKinnon. “We are told that it is now a much better bill, but I still have some doubts about it.” “I still have some doubts, t00,” NOW at A.E.L.&P.

That's what’s wrong | for the best.” “The bill went out of here 'like a choo-choo ™ train and there 'was nothing we could do to fix up the defects” said Rep. Stepovich. “I the fixing we tried to do and it is think the Senate has done some of ' now a better biil.” “When the bill went out of here the Republicans were dragging their feet While the Democrats were blowing the whistle,” commented* Rep. McCutcheon. “The drag the Republicams put on it allowed: the Senatetime fto devise some, very necessary amend- ments,” retorted Rep. Barnes. Rep. Kay loosed a blast at “the Juneau Empire and .its axis asso-' ciates, the Fairbanks News-Miner and Anchorage News” for what he termed “a vicious and deliberate campaign against the bill, intended to deceive the people of Alaska re- garding it.” Rep. MacKinnon defended the newspapers; said he believed that they all had been fair in urging that the bill be submitted’to the people. Confirmation Session The last-minute joint session was demanded by Rep. Miscovich for the purpose of acting on two Fourth Division appointments by the Gov- ernor, The appointment of Joseph Fejes to the Fourth Division Board of Assessment and Equalization was confirmed by unanimous consent. Objection to the confirmation of Wallace Cathcart, Sr. as a member of the Board of Health was based on his age and poor health and Rep. Miscovich requested that the name of C. J. Woofter be submitted to the Governor The Governor then named former legislator Frank Gor- don to the post an appointment that found no favor with Fourth Division Republicans Rep. Miscovich objected that the appointment had not been properly submitted to the Legislature and in the ensuing argument the joint ses- sion got out of control and was ad- journed without action on the ap- | pointment. Presentation Made During the evening Speaker Egan was presented with a painting of Mt. McKinley as a token of apprecia- tion for “a job well done.” Gifts in token of appreciation were also pre- sented to Chief Clerk Margaret | Grisham and Assistant Clerk Flora ! Woodward. | A check of the record shows that 1164 bills were introduced in the House during the 60-day session.
