Persons afflicted by fever have no doubt been stimula- ted by the biennial report of the Alaska Statehood Committee, which was issued earlier this year. More rational individuals who have looked over this “report” were probably amazed that it required so many pages to say so little. The 44-page pamphlet is, except| for some prefatory remarks by Chairman Bob Atwood, strictly a scissors and paste-pot job. Chair- man Atwood requires five pages to report “progress,” and the remain- der of the “report” includes the following items: A list of members of the 82nd Congress (clipped, perhaps, from the current edition of the World statehood | Almanac) and a list of members of the Senate Interior and Insular Affairs Committee and of the House Committee on Public Lands. A membership list of the National Statehood Committee. This is the same list that appears on the let- terhead of that purely letterhead | organization. The Alaska Commit- tee, incidentally, paid for the printing of the National Commit- tee’s letterhead, and had the print- | ing done outside Alaska; A list of state governors and of newspapers that are said to have endorsed statehood for Alaska; Quotations from newspaper edi- torials and from the statements of statehood hearings in Washington. jAt least one of the latter is mis- !quoted in this “report,” and the statements of others are taken out of context. Only two Alaskans are quoted on statehood, and both of them are members of the Statehood Com- mittee. It is also perhaps signifi- cant that while every one of the quotations supports the general proposition of statehood for Alas- ka, not a single one of them sup- ports the particular bill that was under consideration by Congress. Many of the persons quoted on statehood in the Com- mittee’s “report” admitted, either in their voluntary statements or under examination, that they had never been to Alaska and had no first-hand knowledge of the Terri- tory or its problems. persons who appeared at last year's | who are | | These inconvenient bits of test- imony were, however, entirely om- itted from the “reports.” Chairman Atwood complains of the Committee’s limited funds and expresses the desire of the Commit- tee to conserve what funds it has. In view of this and in view of the fact that the Committee has a paid secretary and that two of its mem- bers are newspaper editors, surprising that it was found neces- sary to hire help in making up its “report.” | 'The man picked to wield the scis- “M)l'.s and paste brush to make up the booklet was able public rela- | tions counsel Herb Hilscher who {for some time has been ‘ handling | publicity for the University of Al- |aska at a fee of $300 a month and whose services were recently char- tered by the Bureau of Reclama- tion to help put over a new power | project near Fairbanks. For “the preparation cf certain reports to be issued by tne State- hood Committee,” ilscher was paid $35.50 a day for 25 days plus per diem at $10 a day for 25 days and $99.86 for travel and miscel- laneous expenses, a total of $1,237- .36, In employing Hilscher, however, the Statehood Committee proved that its judgment has improved during the past year. For their $1,237.36 plus printing costs the Alaska taxpayers in this instance at least got something tangible in the form of a booklet, it s | even though the booklet doesn't!| Tom Davis, Dora Gunderson, E. amount to a whole lot.

He told the Se- attle Times, which is sponsoring his trip, that he will look for a very special pair of Alaska moccasins, to present to a certain young lady on his return.

HOPEFUL FOR FHA HOUSING KODIAK Kodiak Mayor Lee Bettinger ex- mects to leave for Kodiak Wednes- day after two and one-half months in Washington, D.C., where he was ironing out difficulties in Federal housing for Kodiak. He is hopeful that construction on about 400 units can get underway this fall un- der the/Federal Housing Administra- tion. Work is going forward on the en- gineering for an improved water and sewer system under the Alaska Pub- lic Works program which is esti- mated to cost approxime.tely $510,000. The Housing and Home Financing agency has appropriated $24,600 for planning of a new ll-classroom school there. . Bettinger feels that all this adds up to the permanency of the Naval MacDonald, | base at Kodiak.

TENDER HEARTIS UNAPPRECIATED BY GRIZZLY BEAR FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June 26 — (M— Mark Fuller learned the most painful lesson of his 65 years yes- terday: Don't be tender-hearted to- ward a grizzly bear. “The severly injured Alaska Road Commission employe was in a hos- pital here today .with wounds all over his body. The incident of the misplaced kindness started when Fuller found the bear in a trap, which had been set out after the grizzly repeatedly raided the road camp messhall. | Instead of killing it, Fuller coaxed 1 it into an improvised cage. Then he drove 30 miles from camp and re- leased the animal near Mount Mc- Kinley park. The bear promptly attacked him. Doctors said more_than 100 stitches were needed to close his wounds.
