BUREAU CHIEFS
 ATTACK CURRY'S
 BILL AT HEARING
Commissioner of Fisheries Says No Useful Purpose
 Served by Measure. ALASKA BOARD OPPOSED Declares Secretary of Interior Relegated to Position
 Of Impotence.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 12. Dr Hugh M Smith, Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Fisheries, appear ing yesterday before the House Ter ritories Committee in it's hearing on the Curry bill for creation of an Alaskan Development Board to con trol administration of Federal af fairs in Alaska, declared "the only function the Secretary of Interior would have in Alaskan affairs under the Curry bill would be to forward to Congress the annual report of the proposed development board" ac cording to a special Washington des patch received today by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
 Representative Charles F. Curry, of California, author of the bill, re plying said the measure is largely tentative and subject to amendment ,f any fundamental defects are dis covered.
 Says Personnel Menaced.
 Dr. Smith .~edlded that he saw no advantage to be gained in trans. ferring jurisdiction over Alaska from the present form of government to centralized board sitting at Jul neau He said he feared the bill would disrupt the personnel of the existing fisheries organization.
 MT Curry then suggested that an amendment might be drawn to elim- mate this objection.
 Dr. Smith complained that Con- gress failed to provide enough funds to properly carry on work in Alaska, saying that for twelve years the fisheries bureau had vainly pleaded for funds and adequate laws for the protection of fisheries.
 Gov. Riggs Scored.
 He also took exception to criti- oisms of the fisheries board which he said Gov. Thomas Riggs had made, declaring they were "entirely unjustified and at variance with the facts"
 Ward Bower, in charge of the Alaska fisheries service of the De- partment of Commerce took the same position as Dr. Smith regarding the Curry bill but urged that new basic law be enacted to extend jurisdic- tion of the Department of Commerce over waters over which it now has no control, and to give authority to declare closed seasons on fish. He also urged larger appropriations.
 Curry Bill indorsed.
 o. c. Merrill, executive secretary of the Federal Water Power Com mission, indorsed the principle of the Currie bill and declared that if the commission had a man on the ground with power to act work could better be performed
 L. Keddy, of the Bureau of Eff ciency, also ndorsed the principle of the bill as did Commander Harry Hamlet, of the Coast Guard division.
