HOOVER DESIGNATES THREE
 COMMISSIONERS FOR ALASKA PROGRESS

WASHINGTON, D. C.. April g., P)-Secretary Wilbur announced that President Hoover has desig- mated three commissioners as All |aska members of the committee who are to recommend steps for the approving of a Government Administrators Committee which lis to study whether it will be possible to place more authority and control of the Territory in Alaska rather than in Washing ton, for the purpose of increasing the opportunity for the economic development of the territory.
 The first meeting of the com mittee is to be held at Juneau this month. Governor Parks, re- presenting the Department of the Interior; Dennis Vim represent ling the Department of Commerce in charge of fishing problems in Alaska; Charles H. Flory, repre- senting the Department of Agri- culture, supervisor of farms, stock and forestry problems. Each are to retain his post as repre- sentative of his department and to it will be added the duties of commissioner.
 One of the first problems to be taken up will be that of sanitary and medical work of the territory. Another consideration is the ad- visibility of reorga nization of the educational system.
 While they will act as exofficio commissioners, no authority is given them, but final action on their recommendations will rest with President Hoover, which will make it possible for him to bring about any needed coordination.
