FROM KoTZEBUE TO KETCHIKAN

" One of the favorite expressions of of favorite legislators is from Kotzebue to Ketchikan" He uses the words mark out historically the domain which every Senator and every member of the House is elected to represent in the Territorial Legislature
 Laws which passed for the general good, bene- fits which are bestowed on Alaska a whole money which spent improve the lot of the people of the entire Territory are acts the from Kotzebue to Ketchkan" column.
 We have a good many legislators this session who sublimatng personal and divisional interests to work for Alaska It is joy to these men in action. They challenge all the little special appropriations the personal interest bills the handouts" to particular groups particular localities They have been able to table indefinitely postpone, bury in committee or openly defeat than measure of doubtful merit. Without them the Territorial Treasury might become the political pie counter which it is not now .r. Alaska is mighty big country There are only handful of people living here If we stick together and pull together we'll build a great commonwealth between Kotzebue and Ketchikan Today that common wealth is still swaddling clothes Alaska is not M old country; its history is just beginning We all still pioneers here.
 How many people does Territorial legislator rep resent? We have 24 legislators and 60O00 people Each Senator or Representative if he stands apart and insists on egsatng the interests only of the people who him here to Juneau determine by simple division that he is representing only about 2500 per sons, half of them Natives
 But if the legislator is getting in his hard licks here in Juneau for the benefit of the whole Territory forgetting the sectional clamorings of Unga Wran- gell at St. Michael Fairbanks Juneau, except as they relate to the good of all Alaska he representing 60o00 people from Kotzabue to Ketchikan.

" They eloquent people, our Alaska Indians. o- Last nights Senate Judiciary Committee hearing . on Indian liquor bill the occasion for much oratory as been heard the legislative chambers ,aaN all session.
 Pleas voiced by Juneau Natives were warm enough to the heart of the sternest Senator In forceful knowing speech those who appeared made very defn- ite impression legislators and audience alike. What the of the hearing will be doubtful but that it had effect is ndisputable

Senator Barley of Kentucky, the
majority leader, told reporters to-
day ut is possibility, but not a
probability" that Congress will ad-
journ by July Is.
Senator Barley said congressional
leaders would be unable to give
President Roosevelt definite quit
ting date until about two weeks
before adjournment"
1t definitely is possible, he added,
that neutrality legislation could be
enacted before members of Congress
60 home.
Excitement over the congressional
reception for King George and Queen
Elizabeth spread through the Capt.
toll, but House leaders did not in
tend to let it interfere with business.
They hoped to send to the Senate
benefits of the Social Security Act
and extending them to additional
classes of workers.
Debate centered yesterday on Fed
eral contributions to States for old
age pensions to the needy. The Ways
and Means Committee has recon-
mended increasing from SIS to $40
the maximum Federal contribution,
which must be matched by the
States.
A bipartisan coalition is seeking
to raise the contribution to 81 for
every ST supplies by the States, with
$40 Federal limit
The payments are distinct from
the old-age insurance features of
the law.
Representative Patman, Democrat,
Of Texas, arguing for liberalization,
said both the present social security
law and pending amendments pc
nalize poor States which could
not take advantage of full Federal
assistance on the dollar-for dollar
matching basis.
Representative Disney, Democrat,
Of Oklahoma asked: Can the ma
ton pay any more?"

charges that he condoned "sit-

fore a Senate judiciary subcom-
mittee this afternoon and tell the
inside story" Of the employer
labor disputes that rocked Michi-

Though the subcommittee,
headed by Senator M. Logan CD
of Kentucky, has voted unani-

firmation of Murphy's appoint
ment as Attorney General, it
agreed to his extraordinary re-
quest to be heard.
Murphy was expected to tell the
Senate and the nation that his
actions during the labor disturb
ances was dictated by a desire to
prevent bloodshed in a mass up
rising; that he had inherited"
the sitdown strike situation from
his predecessor, and that he is un-
alterably opposed to the sitdown
strike as a labor weapon, but Is
