GOVERNMENT BY BUREAUS TOTAL
 FAILURE, CLAIM
Curry Criticises Bureau Con- trol Alaska and Attacks
 Attitude Officials.

WASHINGTON, May 1SxOpenly criticising the attitude adopted by
 Washington bureaus relative to the proposed Alaska Development Board and declaring Bureaucratic govern ment" to have failed, Representa- tive Charles F. Curry replied to Sec retary Henry c. Wallace's letter opposing the board by declaring that it would probably prove to be i'm possible to suggest any plan for re. placing the present system of Alaska Federal control that would be ac- Ceptable to the bureaus.
 MT. Curry in his answer to Secrc. tary Wallace declared: q venture to suggest no plan that might be con. oeived~by the mind of man would ever meet the unanimous approval of all '57 varieties of bureau off. cials who now govern Alaska fror, Washington and hold in their also lute control, the prosperity, develop ment and welfare of that Territorv and the happiness of it's people" He asserted that the one big outstandina fact in connection with Alaska ia that bureaucratic government of the Territory has failed.
 The letter to which Mir. Curry was replying was written by Secretary Wallace on May 1e and contained strong opposition to MT. Curry's measure for a board to administer federal authority and regulations ir Alaska. Mir. Wallace advocated of the "bureau control" and declared that gradual develop ment of the Territory under them was preferable to rapid deyeiopmen, under some other system. He inti. mated that the adoption of the Curry bill might jeopardize national in terests in Alaska" by rerffoving checks against exploita lion of the natural resources of the Territory
