.ALASkANS IN
 ARMED RANKS CANNOT VOTE
Dependents of Sol diers Also Seem Up Against
 If, Says Delegate

WASHINGTON, Feb 26.-(By AL aska Delegate Dimond)-The' House and Senate conferees on the soldiers voting bill appear to be hopelessly at odds. The Senate, as is known, passed bill to provide for Federal ballot which would cover only the election of President, Vice-Presl- dent. and members of the House and Senate, and also made pro- vision to facilitate use of State bal lots The House, on the other hand, reflected the Federal ballot in it's entirety and passed an act purport- ing to aid in the use of State bal lots. The House bill embraces the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. At the time this is written tFebruary 26. 1944) there is no assurance that any bill will be finally enacted.
 Urges Legislation
 Several months ago I recommend ed the calling of special session of the Alaska Legislature to permit the voting of Alaska citizens who are in the armed services. The Alaska absentee voting law requires the vot- CT to be in his home precinct not less than forty days nor more than five days before election, condition absolutely out of the question for most Alaskans who are in the mill- tary forces. So, in any event, un- less Alaskans who are in the armed forces are to be denied any oppor- tunity to vote, the Territorial law, should be amended promptly.
 I also urged upon the Governor and others that since fathers of families are now drafted into mili- tary service, the Alaska Legislature should meet in special session to make provision for the children of such fathers. Under Federal law, where a father is drafted the wife and mother will receive each month $50, plus $50 for the first child and $20i for each additional child. There fore, a mother with two children would receive total of $100. The father might also make further all lotment of his pay for the support of his family but in this connection it should be remembered that of the $50 a month allotted for the wife, $22 comes out of the soldiers pay and $28 is provided by the Govern ment.
 It is obviously impossible for a mother with two children to exist on S1O0 per month in Alaska, and there is no likelihood that Congress will make any further provision by Fed eral law. At the time of passage of the Federal law on the subject l joined with other members in urging

increased allowances but without avail. Therefore, the obligation to make further provision for the sup port of the children of our soldiers devolves upon the Territorial Leg islature.
 Nothing Doing
 However, the Governor has in formed me by telegram dated Feb ruary 19, that in a poll taken of the legislative members concerning a special session for the purposes mentioned, seven members indicated that they favored a special session and eleven opposed it; that Repre- sentatives Egan and O'Shea would be uiTable to attend because they, themselves, are in military service that Representative Stangroom and ,Kehoe, have resigned; tha two of the Representative did not reply des- pite repeated queries. So, it appears if a special session of the Legislature is to be called and held in order to provide an opportunity for our AL askan men and women in the armed services to vote and to make further provision for the support of the children of those in the armed serv- ices. it will be necessary that the members of the Legislature be con- vinced of the desirabiIity of taking such actions and taking it promptly

is composed of Harold Lindsey

Chief Arthur /. Rosso, Commits

member who spoke at the meet
ing in behalf OF proper. care and
treatment OF dogs. Westendorf
is an eX-officio member of the
committee.
In addition the City Commits
sion answered strong plea
made by the delegation - most
OF them dog owners - that dogs
be given clean quarters but not
pampered, and only kept for the
- hours required by law for re-
claiming, and then humanely ex-
ecuted.
The city ordered Police Chief
RoSSo to arrange a system OF
checking the pound population
to ascertain that no strays are
kept more than 70 hours.
They also ordered that the
dog warden (who has never been
restricted on food supplies, for
dogs) take advantage of this pro-
vision and give the animals
proper nouriShment.
The Rose street delegation
cited the fact that some dogs
were identified at the residen-
tial-area pound as having been
kept there for months; that food
was inadequate; odors unbear-
able, and that bowling dogs
during the night hours made
sleep almost impossible for war
workers in the vicinity.
Walter Fenton, addressing the
commission, told them that dogs
OF opposite sexes should be sep
arated, and stressed the need for
proper food and care to elimin-.

disease-spreading. His offer to
aid in construction of an mex
pensive but model pound, was
accepted by the officials.
A half dozen different loca-
tons have been obtained for a
convenient city dog pound in
the past decade, Westendorf
pointed out, but objections from
the neighborhoods have caused
their abandonment.
