Such comment has several times | been promised. For reasons un- known to this writer it has not been forthcoming. The first. such statement was expected to come from Rep. Stan-| ley J. McCutcheon early this year. | McCutcheon was the attorney for | Alaska Aeronautics Commission | and was in the thick of the Pal- mer airport deal from stari to finish. Called to Washington for Senate committee hearing, Rep. McCutcheon reached Juneau sev- eral days after the Legislature| had opened its 20th session | He immediately asked for spe- cial privilege of the floor of the| House at a later date. The priv~ ilege was granted and it was gen- erally presumed that he would talk about the Palmer airport. | Alask; “officia recently the Before the hour of his special | privilege, however, the Anchorage Representative withdrew his re- quest and said nothing. The Senate committee’s full re- port was released not long ago and when the first news stories on it came through, Governor| Gruening was asked to comment. | | The Governor declined. He said | he wanted a chance to study the| full report, hinting that the new stories might not be entircly ac- curate. The Governor's position there is understandable. Only a couple of |weeks previously he had ventured far out on a limb by applauding the “validation” of the Alaska | ’prupen.y tax, only to discover that | the applause had been ill-advised and that the tax had not been| validated at all. | Several weeks have now passed | tee report have become available. And the Governor, with ample |time to study that report, has as| yet offered no comment, George S. “Tony” Schwamm, the former commandant of the Port Althorp Navy Yard and present Director of Aeronautics, is the Imost recent official to offer a statement on the Palmer affair without actually producing one. Schwamm not long ago told the Daily Empire at Juneau that he would have a statement “in a day or two.” The days dragged out to nearly a week before he announ- ced that he would issue the state- ment as soon as two vacant posi- tions in the Aeronautics Commis- sion are filled. This continual postponement of an “answer” to the charges made in the committee report is not unexpected. The fact is, of course, that the Senate report is so dam- ning that no real answer is pos- sible.
