In the first place, the members of the “task force” — Sens. Lester C. Hunt, Leveret Saltonstall and Wayne Morris—spent only a week on their entire “study.” And, secondly, they themselves admitted they had been unable to authenticate reports they had re- ceived that Seattle business concerns were unfairly of and even illegally exploiting Alaska.

Co ine to Biggest Companies Involved In the Arabian-American Oil ‘ompany scandal, some of the bi oil companies in the coun ed—originally Texas and tandard of California, with Stand- erd of New Jersey and Sunoco buy- ing 40 per cent interest in Aramco later. In 1048 the Senate investigating mmittee found that Arabian- merican oil had overcharged the millions of dollars by charg- it $1.05 a barrel for oil, after criginally promising President Itgosevelt to sell oil for 40 cents a Jarrel. It was on the basis of this cheap oil pledge to FDR that he e $99,000,000 of lend lease to Caudi Arabia in 1941 “To induce the grant of aid to the Goudi Arabian government,” says the Senate report which has been gathering dust with the Justice De- partment, “the Arabian-American Uil company offered to sell to the United States under a proposal to the President.dated April 16, 1941, at prices based on fuel oil at 40 cents per barrel “When the United States needed oil because of its war demands, not- wit unding these prior proposals, the companies offered the Navy fuel cil at $1.05 a barrel on a take-it-or- leave-it basis. The Navy was forced buy the oil on these terms. “The oil companies were under al( if not a legal obligation to isclose to the Naval Procurement fiicers their previous proposals for the sale of oil submitted to the Fresident,” continues the Senate avy mor “The oil companies exploited the | government by exacting high prices for their ance the d pre: ce The Senate committee goes on to | tell how the oil companies claimed | they had doubled their royalties to the Arabian government, and ob- cerves: “The U. S. government clearly was defrauded because the royalty payments were not doubled.” It has been nearly three year: cince the Senate committee made this categoric tharge of “fraud.” Nevertheless, the Justice Depart- ment has+made no move, and the statute of limitations will expire in a few more days. “All-out” Industry spe granted to Saudi Arabia ve the companies’ con- War 1 were discuss- jng- government controls at a closed-door meeting with officials of the National Production Author- ity.

Now the falsity of these reports has been dem- onstrated by the Alaska Division of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce—which devoted as many weeks to the subject as the “task force” did days. .‘ Under the circumstances, the Chamber is amply justified in memorializing the Armed Services Com- mittee to expunge the false allegations from the record. As the Alaska Division pointed out in its report, “it is importent to the good name of Seattle and of the wholesaling and manufacturing industries in this | city that proper steps be taken to secure the with-" ‘dmwal of those parts of a report which are totally out of line with the true facts of the business relations | between Seattle and Alaska.” 1951 o Father's Day, will come in for | $24,600 GIVEN KODIAX T0 PLAN NEW SCHOOL BLDG. The Housing and Home Finance Agency in Washington has approv- ed an advance of $24,600 to t Kodiak Independent School Dist- rict to allow planning to start im-| mediately for a grade school to re- lieve the present overcrowded con- ditions in the Kodiak Schools. It is expected that the new structure| will have eleven classrooms and the plans will include a future gymna- sium-auditorium, it was announced by the Alaska Public Works office here today. The estimated cost of the project is $800,000. The school district has applied for construction of the first unit of construction under the Al- aska Public Works Program. The growth of the Kodiak Naval | Base, along with the normal growti | of the community, has caused the] school enrollment to increase from 280 in 1846-47 to 355 in March of this year. The normal capacity of the Kodiak School building is 175. The construction of a large housing development in Kodiak in the near future is expected to throw an ad- ditional burden on the present fa- cilities.

DOCTOR HEADED FOR PETERSBURG | WITH KIT, RIFLES SEATTLE, June 16, — ® — A Wisconsin doctor is on his way to Petersburg, Alaska, with his medi- cal kit and a firearms collection which he values at $75,000.

The Smiths have been north be- | fore. The doctor’s rifles have not-} ches for black, brown and polar bears. It was correspondence with Ho- sea R. Sarber, a Wildlife Service gent, that gave Dr. Smith the idea of moving to Petersburg. “Maybe it seems cr: to pull up stakes and head north,” the soft- | spoken physician commented. “But we have no children, Petersburg needs a doctor and it's the greatest hunting country in the world.
