Opposes CREATION
|OF ALASKAN BOARD
Secretary Wallace Says De-
veIopment Body Would Be
PrejudiciaI to Interests.

| Opposition to the bill to create an
Alaskan development board was ex-
pressed by Secretary of Agriculture
! Wallace in letter today to Repre-
! sentative Curry Of California. chair
! man of the House committee on ter
! ritories.
The enactment Of this measure"
Secretary Wallace said. would be
| highly prejudicial to national inter
| eStS and to Alaskan interests as well.
| 1t would remove wholesome checks
against the exploitation of our vast
| national resources and would deprive
Alaska of the technical help Of the
, federal agencies which combine long
| experience and thes best scientific
knowledge in studying and develop
| ing specific natural resources
Would Take Control.
The Secretary declared that the pro-
posed board would axe over the activi-
ties now carried on in Alaska by the
departments OF Agriculture and Com
rerce & Well as by the federal power
! commission, and to large extent by
the Department of the Interior. and
would have sweeping authority, while
at the same time being practically in
dependent of the federal authority at
Washington. Although the members
would be chiefly appointed by the
treSiOeht, ne added. the executive
could not disturb the board except for
neglect of duty or malfeas sance in Office.
Congress itself, he said. would have
over it only such control as it might
exercise by Withholding appropriations
or repeating the law.
In effect. Mr.. Wallace argued, the
measure proposes to set up a branch
federal government having jurisdic-
ton over certain properties and func-
tions in the territory Of Alaska" AL
though established in the Department
OF the Interior he added. 1t would be
quite independent of that department
Urges Sound Basis.
We have now come to a time"
Secretary Wallace continued. when
economic conditions should bring
about gradual development of
Alaskan industries with a correspond
ing increase in population. This de-
velopment should be on a sound basis
and not the result of temporary and
reckless exploitation of public prop
erty.
BY creating an Alaskan board
composed of representatives placed
there by each of the federal agencies
now active in the territory. and of
one or two permanent residents of
Alaska every proper purpose sought
to be accomplished by this measure
could be brought about without
jecpardizing national and territorial
interests"

decided to decline the invitation to take
part in the Poughkcepsic regatta in
June. according to statement made by
i. Duncan Spaeth. head coach Of the
Tiger oarsmcn. The only reason that
the Orange and Black will not compete
is the length of the course. and Mr..
Spacth is firm in his belief that two
miles is enough for any race.
The Tgcr mentor pointed out thar
the Princeton policy was and will b.
to take up rowing only as part OF
undergraduate activities. and that the
three mile race would nuecessitatc too
much emphasis on the training. He
also said that the schedule called for
races on consecutive Saturdays. and
that long races would prevent this.
