EXECUTIVE VETO
 ON 3 ITEMS OF PRECIPITATION
Governor Disapproves of Crime Bureau, Radio
 Stations, Ship Subsidy

Three items in the appropriation bill passed by the 18th Legislature have been vetoed by Gov. John w. Troy, including one which makes a law ineffective. That is the Wal ker bill setting up Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identi- ficat;on in the Attorney Generals Office. Seven thousand dollars had been set aside in the general ap- propriations to carry this law into effect
 The Governor failed to approve the appropriation and in transmit ting the bills to the Secretary of Alaska wrote:
 T am convinced that a large part of this work is being carried out now by the Department of Jus tice. I am further convinced work which is not a duplication of the work of the Department of Justice would not be worth $7,000 to the Territory or the people of the Ter ritory"
 The other two appropriation items which failed to win the Gov ernor's signature were $l0,000 to stibsidize the Ketchikan and An chorage radio stations and 5000 as a subsidy to shipping between St. Michaels and Kotzebue. In vetoing the radio stations approp- riation, the Governor wrote:
 T am not in favor of subsidies as matter of principle and the reason for this subsidy under Chap ter 53 already has been accomplish ed. The two radio stations that benefit from this subsidy, am in- formed. have reached point ir their development where they car continue to operate without sub- sidy.'
 In failing to approve $3.000 for the ship subsidy, he said:
 Two years ago similar approp- riation for the district failed. Since the first subsidy was granted com peting vessel has been serving this route and air service IS available to handle passengers and mail. II has been said that the compensa- tion allowed to carry mail is not adequate for the vessel engaged in that service. I do not believe that the Territory should make up de- ficiency if the Post Office Depart ment is not paying enough to have mail delivered"
