Both parties have been court
ing the Independents this year,
and some politicians in WASH
ington seemed to agree that
Wilkes death might make
their attention even more ar
dent. The actual effect of his
passing on the voting cannot be
caused accurately now and
there is little likelihood it ever
can be.
On the surface, his death
would appear to have erased =
cause of major concern in re-
publican councils. Since Will
kie was a republican, ais con-
tinued silence on the 1044 presi-
DENTAL race and ON his own
intentions offered an ever-pres-
ent threat of a possible bolt.
However, his elder brother,
H. Fred Willkie, said in Louis

Dewey if Dewey should have
become a bit more liberal, es-
pecially in his foreign policy. l

planned, "Willkie should have
come out for Dewey, since lie
was republican and the 1910
candidate. The fact that he
might make his followers feel
that he was against Dewey and
that they accordingly should
support Roosevelt"
A republicans idea was epit-
omized by Senator Willis (R-
Ind.), who said Willkie might
have had some influence on the
election had he lived but that
his death, if it benefited any
one, probably would help
Dewey "a shade" by removing

By a vote of 60 to 10, the donkey-riders endorsed Presi- dent Roosevelt and a fourth term and then turned around by a vote of 4 to 3S to defeat an endorse ment of Coy. Gruening, appointee of the President. Main shouters a. gainst the Governor were Karl Drager and Harvey Smith of An chorage, who, incidentally, hail from the pickering Third where 1t is reported no man knoweth unto whom his neighbOr pays political allegiance, or whose political throat he cuteth. At the same time it was H. H. McCutcheon and Ed COffey of Anchorage in the roaring Third who were among those acclaiming the Governor, ably supported by Frank Gordon of Fairbanks.
 Bob Bartlett, who was then Sec retary of Alaska, got hauled into the discussions when four proxies held by Charley Miller of Juneau were challenged because they had been turned over to Miller by Bartlett, who, shouted the chal- lengers, had violated the Hatch Act in accepting the proxies in the first place. Hatch Act prohibits Federal employees from dabbling in politics. Bartlett dabbled as he had his resignation written as Secretary of Alaska and on Tues day of this week had tendred it and filed for Delegate to Congress. Wasn't much Demos could do a. bout it so, after wild argument they allowed the Miller proxies Curtis Shattuck of Juneau led the anti-fourth term group supported by Alaska Linck of Fairbanks, but best they could muster was 10 votes.

 The Department proposed a very considerable number of amend ments some of which seem to be important. but at this time it is al- most impossible to say just what the bill would be if the amend ments were adopted.

Fisheries Bill, S. s8O

----- Fisheries Bill, S. 93O -----
 Hearings on Senator Wallgren's Alaska fisheries bill, s. 93O, com menced on January 20 and are still continuing. The bill seems to be warmly supported by all the salmon packers and their repre- sentatives and by the representa- tives of the c. I. 0. fishermen's and cannery workers unions in the States. So far as I am aware, no Alaskan except the few trap owners who reside in Alaska and the attorneys for the salmon pack ing companies, was even consulted when drafting this measure. The only way that I learned about this bill and it's predecessors, s. 1915, which was introduced by Senator Wallgren on September IF, 1941, and S. 2227 which was introduced
 by him on January 6, 1942 was through the Congressional Record.
 I appeared before the subcOm-

mittee, which is under the chair manship of Senator Bilbo of Mis- sissippi, and which was attended by Senator Bilbo, Senator Wall gren, Senator Burton of Ohio. and Senator Robertson of Wyoming. on the first day of the hearings and was accorded an early opportunity to testify. Before any testimony was taken, Senator Wallgren pro posed a number of amendments to the bill, most of which were of no material consequence except a pro posed amendment to Section 2, the effect of which was to strike from the bill the only part which csuld possibly support, namely, the provision of the original which sought to extend our jurisdiction over the Alaskan marginal seas as far as the dividing line between the United States and the U. S. S. R. Senator Wallgren explained that the Secretary of State opposed this provision as a matter of leg islatiOn at this time. In it's stead, Senator Wallgren proposed new language which would incorporate in the bill provisions of the White Act forbidding any exclusive or several right of fishery in flask an waters, with an amendment to the White Act which would make the original provision completely meaningless. Accordingly, I was obliged to tell the Committee that I opposed practically the entire bill as it stood because the principal purpose of it appeared to be the creation of vesetd interests in fish traps making them an even more completely resttriCted monopoly than they are at present. I quoted by one of the Alaska fishermen's unions which said that the bill was evidently intended to as- sure conservation and the fullest utilization of the suburbs of Seat le." This characterization was completely justified by the pro- visions of the bill which would mandatOrily compel hearings on the regulations to be held in Seat le, with permissible hearings to be held in Alaska, and would provide for an Advisory Fish Commission to embrace the Secretary of the Interior Or his nominee and two other persons, one to be selected by the employers and one to be selected by the employees engaged in the Alaskan fishing industry, which would in practice mean that a chance to serve on the proposed Advisory Commission. All the Am erican Federation of Labor unions which are concerned with fisher ies in Alaska, and their represent atives in the States, opposed the bill and asked that it not be pas sed. I have a telegram from Harry Lundeberg, President of the Sea- farer's International Union of North America saying "We are opposed to S. 93O." The c. I. o. unions in Alaska at Cordova, An chorage and Bristol Bay oppose the bill but the c I. o. representative in Washington nevertheless gave full support to the measure and suggested only minor amendments which would not alter it's general scope and purpose.

The barriers up and they're a. way in the April Primary Sweep stakes, a six-race event with the Dimond Handicap holding the spotlight. Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond ''scratched' at the last mo- ment to take a judgeship in the Third Division, possibly handicap ped some of the contestants with a strong endorsement of Alaska Secretary E. L. Bartlett as his successor, but it's anybody's race with some of the boys and girls. who have been coasting along on Dimond popularity, faced with being just one of the field.
 Here's the way they show on the board:
 For Delegate to Congress
 Democrats E. L. Bartlett of Juneau, Henry Roden of Ju- neau and A. H. zeigler of Ketchi- kan.
 Republicans George B. Grigs- by and John E. Manders, both of Anchorage.
 Attorney General
 Democrats-Karl Drager of An chorage and Ralph J. Rivers, Fair banks.
 Republican Harry G. Mccain, Ketchikan.
 Auditor
 Democrat Frank A. Boyle, ln- cumbent.
 Republican - Will H. Chase. CoTdova.
 Highway Engineer
 Democrats W. Leonard Smith, Nome, and Frank Metealf Sitka. Republican-E. F. Wann, Fair banks.
 Territorial Senate
 DemocTats-Norman R. Walker .Ietchikan; Andy Gunderson, Ket- chikau; James V. Davis, Crystal Snow Jenne and Joe Green, Ju- neau.
 Republicans- Howard D. Stab- Ter, Juneau; Steve Ferris, Ketchi- kan.
 Territorial House
 Democrats-Mayor Fred G. Han ford, Wrangell; Carroll Clausen, Petersburg;s Curtis Shattuek, A. B. Cain, G. A. Decker Chris Hen nings, Juneau; Wilfred Stump John Olafson, Anthony zoric, Rag mar Hansen, Ketchikan; Andrew Hope, W. R. Carter, Sitka; Mrs. Beth Barrass, Douglas; J. H. Saw yer, Windham; Frank Peratro- Vich, Klawock. Republicans Anita Garnick, Edmund Krause Steve VukOVich. Samuel FeldOn, Juneau; s. J. Sul- livan, Skagway; Frank Price, Sit- ka; Mrs. E. E. Engstrom, Doug las; Ralph Bartholomew, N. w. Renolken, Ketchikan.
 Interesting highlights of the filings are the tough Delegate race, the fact the Republicans are there with a full ticket and that George Grigsby, after all these years, has become a Republican af- ter moving to the Third Division, seat of Alaska political confusion. Delegate race is a hotsy-totsy, particularly in the Democratic camp with traditional vote getter Henry Roden, who has been roll ing 'em up ever since he served in the first legislature back in 1913 from Ruby, lined up with popular Bob Bartlett, who has been Alas ka's Secretary and is more or less of a protege of Delegate Dimond, and A. H. Zeigler, former Speaker of the House and crack cam paigner. Whoever wins this nom ination will earn it. The Republi- can race for Delegate Is confined to the Third Division where ex- Demo Grigsby or his running mate John Manders are going to win a nomination. George with long res- idence in the First Division (where the votes are) may have an inside track on this one.
