Propose Alaskans Vote On Desire To Be A State Or Not

Continued from Page One) impeded the development of that country.
 Asserting it was difficult to ob- tain a clear title to real estate pur- chased in Alaska, Bennett said legislation should be introduced when Congress reconvenes to pro- vide such a title. Other sugges- tions made by Rep. Bennett which he said may be taken up as legis- lation by the committee soon would include the revision of the Territorial Organic Act to give residents more rule, as much as possible without statehood.
 Alaskans should be given the right to elect the governor, who is now appointed by the President. They should be given authority to float local bonds for municipal improvements, the bonds to be amortized by tax assessments. They should have a tax program for road construction, and a pro- gram to lower the transportation cost; also better regulation of li- quor sales to Indians and legisla- tion permitting the construction of better hospitals and provisions for medical facilities.
