"Alaska Not Yet Ready For Statehood"

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. IS - R-The people of Alaska are not vet ready for Statehood, and they won't be until they become suffi- ciently informed on the principles of economics and fair government, Rep. Jed Johnson, Oklahoma Democrat and Rep. John Rooney, New York Democrat said.
 Johnson is chairman of the House Sub Committee Appropria- tions of the Department of In- terior. Rooney returned last week from a tour of Alaska where the committee inspected Interior De- partment projects in Interview.
 Rep. Rooney said "the people are not ready for Statehood when they allow the fishing industry to take sixty millions a year from the Territory and return only one million. They are not capable of governing themselves.
 The people themselves and the Territorial Legislature are at fault. The Legislature is controlled by absentee owners of the fishing, and mining industries. They levy no land tax, nor maintain roads, schools or public health"
 Johnson said "the people of Alaska think just because the committee went up there that Congress is going to appropriate money for roads, school and hos pials, but we won't. They are go- ing to have to do something for themselves.
