for systematic cooperation between
the council and the House District
Committee.
It is probable that the next step
taken by the committee will be to
invite members of the council to
appear in an official capacity when
District legislation comes up for a
vote before the committee.
Members of the committee ex-
pressed the opinion that today's
action is the most valuable step,
short of actual representation by

The Citizens Advisory Council
today received the official recogni-
ton of Congress through action of
the House District Committee.
The committee, at today's regu-
lar meeting, voted to ask advice
of the council as the official
representative of the views of
Washington people.
To Get Views On ID. G. Bills
Representative Frederick n.
>Zihlman of Maryland. chairman Of
the committee, was directed 70 con-
fer with the chairman of the ad-
visory council and to request that
the council submit to Congress a
report on every bill affecting the
interests of the District now pend
ing In the House.
The chairman also was instructed
to refer to the council copies of
all bills which now are referred to
the District Commissioners alone.
This action is regarded by COM
mittee members as one of the most
important steps taken in the his
tory of the committee to secure a
direct contact with the people of
the District.
BlantOn Urged Change
The matter was opened by hepre-
sentative Thomas l.. Blanton OF
Texas, who told the committee that
information secured from the Dis
trict Commissioners did not truly
represent the wishes of the D opIe
of the District
The Citizens Advisory Council
should be consulted on all District
legislation" Representative BIan-
ton said. THE council is elected
by the citizens associations, which
give the District residents their
truest means of self-expression.
This council represents the
wishes of the people better than
they can possibly be represented
by the District Commissioners"
Representative Ernest w. Gibson
OF Vermont then made the motion
that the chairman of the commit
tee be authorized to call on the
advisory council to submit reports
on pending bills.
Amendment Adopted
Representative Clarence J. Nc.
Leod, of Michigan, amended the
motion to provide that, when any
bill is submitted to the District
Commissioners for advice, IL also
be submitted to the advisory coun-
Gil The motion and the amend
ment were adopted by unanimous
vote.
Representative Blanton declared
that, when there is a conflict OF
opinion between the District Com
missioners and the advisory coun.
Gil. that Congress mould ignore the
Commissioners and accept the adj
vice of the advisory council.
All reports from the advisory
council will be submitted directly
to the House District Committee
without first passing through the
hands of the Commissioners, under
the terms of the agreement reached
today. 1t is the wish of the Dis
trict committee that the council be
made peoples tribunal, indepen-
dent OF control by the Commission
ers.
Today's action was entirely u,-
expected and represents a change
OF front on the part of some mem.
bers OF the committee, who earlier
in the session expressed themselves
as doubtful of the value to the
people of the District and Congress
OF the advisory council.

LIEUT. COMRD. BOUSON

The new policy of the Naval radio sta, tions in Alaska of purchasing such material and supplies as may be obtained in the Ter 1itory instead of shipping in almost every item from the States, is step forward m the advancement and development of Alas ka and one in which its citizens will ever feel grateful towards the Navy department, for setting an example which, it is hoped, many of the other departments will follow.
 Lieut.. Comdr Bouson, chief of the Naval radio stations, announced at yesterdays chamber luncheon that he had given instruc- tions to the above effect to all stations wis ited by him on this, his first annual tour on inspection of the Alaska stations. All bus mess in the Territory will benefit to some extent by his orders and in particular the new policy will prove an incentive to the lo- cal coal operators who have had difficult task in finding markets for their products.
 It is The Gateway's wish and hope that more government officials with the vision and of the calibre of Lieut.. -Comdr. Bouson, may visit and view Alaska personally in- stead of doing business at long range.
