.Ickes Denies He Aspires To Be Dictator

JUNEAU - President RooSe- welt was asked in a memorial in troduced in the Senate by Sen. Don (. Brown Il to accept inn med ately the resignation of In tPrior Secretary Harold Ickes, rendered a few months ago.
 Senator Browne l accuses Icke of continually seeking to null fly th, few remaining democratic processes yet in force in Alaska and mentions particularly his shore, lands and immigration pro posals.
 BroWnell also alleged "he has Fascist-like control of Matanus- ka through the medium of the Alaska Railroad, and he attempt ed two years ago to foist unpal- atablz tax measures on the Terri tory.
 If his resignation is not ac- cepted all functions of the Depart mant of the Interior in flask a should be transferred at once to either the Commerce or Agricul- ture D partments," the memorial read

Resignation, g Of Ickes Is MemOrialized

TULSA - Secretary of Inter- for Harold Ickes labeled as "in- spired nonsense" charges that he was trying to become the dictat- or of the oil industry.
 Ickes answered the charges in an article he wrote for the Oil Industry monthly publication which also carried statements from oil men opposed to any fed eral control over their industry. Said Ickes;
 "I believe some form of central coordination for the prevention of aVoidable waste in oil pro- duction is necessary. Eben if I were assured that l would be made the umpire for the oil in dustry, the knowledge that have gained and the experience that l have gained and the ex- perience that I have had would make me extremely cautious be- fOrz making radical changes in the present control"
