HEALTH COUNCIL
 BILL DRAGS WAY
 THROUGH SENATE
Cochran Launches Attack on FuII-Time Job for
 Commissioner

Somewhat battles scared, the Health Council bill, Senate Bill No. 31, creating Territorial Depart ment of Health complete with Health Commissioner. won approval from the Alaska Senate yesterday afternoon.
 A pair of harpoons was hurled at the measure by Senator O. D. Coch- ran, but only one of them struck home. His motion to strike from the bill the requirement. for fuli-time, paid Commissioner of Health was lost by substantial margin. His colleagues did, however, sustain the Nome Senator's amendment to strike the special appropriation of $6,6oO provided for expenses and per diem for the board members at their an- nual meetings. It was the majority thought that that matter could well be left to the General Appropriation Bill, along with other funds for the Health Department.
 Full-T Time Head
 Senator Cochran supported his blow at a full-time commissioner by flashing at the probable cost with a very pretty bit of allegory in which he likened the Legislature to Santa Claus with "only one sled and four reindeer" trying to fill all the re- quests on the extravagant Christ mas lists of myriad children. How are we going to get all these appro- priations on our sled?" was the prop csition he put to his fellow solons. It should be left to the discretion of the Board administering the act to determine if full-time Commis- sioner would be needed, he contend ed. His view was upheld by Sena- tors H. H. McCutcheon and Howard Lyng.
 Senator McCutcheon suggested that it might be hard to get com petent man for what the Territory would be prepared to pay. The sum of $10,000 had been mentioned as the likely top annual salary. Sem ator Lyng offered that if part time practicing physician were named to the post, nothing in the bill would prohibit the employment of a qualified medical man as full time assistant to him. Such ac- ton, he thought, might well over- come objections to the Commission CTS maintaining a private practice Other Side Of Issue
 The other side of the issue was taken by Senators N. R. Walker Frank Gordon, Allen Shattuck and Grenold Collins. Senator Gordon stated his view that no expense could be more justified than an ex- penditure for the health of the peo- pie of the Territory-that a full time Commissioner is essential. Senator Collins maintained that provision for a full-time Health Ad-

DEVELOPMENT BILLS BRING
 DISCUSSION
Introduction of Second Measure by Shdtfuek
 Bodes III Will

Following report by Homer Gar win on Alaska Development Board legislation at the meeting of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce this noon a lively discussion of the ways and means of constituting the board arose and one Senator was repri- manded for his attitude toward the Juneau Chambers bill.
 Garvin told the members that Sem ate Bill No, 19 had been withdrawn and No. 43 put in it's place. This, he said, was the bill endorsed by the Juneau Chamber and the one fol- lowing their recommendations How ever, Garvin stated, Senate Bill No A was introduced by Senator Allen Shattuck and was, to the same in- tent and purpose, the same bill
 Garvin said the Alaska Weekly had editorially stated that not enough money to do the job was be- ing asked for He then asked for discussion on the bill, or bills.
 R. E. Robertson stated that the bill, as now drawn, did not specify that only Alaskans should be put on the board He was backed in this statement by Frank E. Heintzleman
 Bruce Kendall then took the floor to remind members that the bill, as now drawn, called for only four members lie suggested five, one each from Ketchikan, Juneau, An- chorage, Fairbanks and Nome, and one at-large member.
 The reason he gave for this pro- posed change was that the five towns were the centers of Alaska and industry in the outlying dis tricts had to center in one of these cities.
 Ernie Parsons said the amount of money to put this plan in operation ought to be sufficient to do the job properly. He ended his remarks by saying, Tt is regrettable that our own Senator has to be the one to spike it."
 Kendall asked Norman Stines to speak but the latter. declined on the grounds he had not, as yet, read the bill and therefore, felt unquali> fled to make any suggestions.
 Other matters coming before the Shamber were: letter received from brass foundry man in the States asking what opportunities there were for metal work in Ju- .neau. He is interested in opening his own shop. He told the Cham her he specialized in boat propeller casting and in bearings. The let ter was referred to the local indus tries committee.
 Another letter, from the Recon struction Finance Corporation in Fairbanks was read. It asked for compiled data on the Juneau area, with an eye to postwar employ ment
 Secretary Willis R. Booth announ- ced that copies 0f the survey of the Juneau trading area were now avail able.
 Guests at the lunch were Ralph Lomen, of the Lomen Commercial Company, Seattle and Joseph Storms, Pan American Airways, Seattle. A new member introduced was Bill Sweeney, co-owner of the Capitol Cafe and Bar.
