Good Judgment

Rivers declared the Development Board has exercised good judg- ment in 90 percent of the matters" it has handled. It has not had chance to remonstrate it's true worth, but has demonstrated that. it can accomplish much, he assert ed The pressure" is because the people are aware of its worth" The Chambers of Commerce, made up of sound business people. who have endorsed the board realize its ex- pense, he replied to the saving minded.
 Walker opened by comparing Munz' l.153 votes with 5000 votes he had received from 5000 misled people" He also held that the Development Board bill which he authored has not been given a fair opportunity. Pressure wires do not influence his vote, he said, because he recognizes that it is special in terest groups that make themselves heard. However, he hoped to see the Board kept alive, at least un- til the Finance Committee can see ii the Territory can afford it. He maintained that unless there is definite reason for thinking the agency detrimental. he can see no reason for destroying it outright.

pulp mills until aborginal claim! have been settled.
 Coffey said he knew of a forth coming report prepared by substan- tial business interests, which out lines prospects for investment ir Alaska but adds a footnote Of eau ton to investors regarding tax policies and other adverse influenc- cs eXerted ty the present Govern or, as well as a warning on ab- original claims.
 Debunks Claims
 The Development Board was cre- ated, Coffey averred, to go out in the field, uncover new resources, aid in their development. He chal- lenged that this had been done He admitted that the Board had talk en the right approach on the tour ist potential, but debunked number Of development claims made in the Boards report by reciting rom ms own knOWIeQge.
 What has the Development Board actually done?" he conclud cd Just write letters, like any Chamber of Commerce. Pointing to approximately $70,000 spent by the Board in just about one year, he asked: What have we got for $70,000?"
 Senator O. D Cochran took much the same view as Coffey later es- poused, Large investments, such as those required for pulp mills are not made on the representations Of someone trying to sell something" he asserted. Crown -Zellerbach and Ike companies long have known more about Alaska's pulp forests than this Board will learn in a thousand years"
 Was Gamble
 When the ADB was created in l945. Cochran said, author Walker admitted it was "a gamble . . and I was willing to go along with the gamble.
 How did Henry Clark so. oppor- tunely come to write his letter sup porting the continuation of the Board? Cochran gave his own answer: Its just another demons tration of pressure tactics He continued: T invite honest opin- ion" but when wires hegin flood ing in from organizations T know somebody is sending out wires seek ing to influence
 T have watched this Board from its creation, and I have found that it has done substantially nothing to benefit the people of this Terri tory he declared.
 Cochran related an entirely diff feIent versicn than had Sundborg, of an incident at the Maritime Commission hearing on shipping rates, at Washington. D. C., when well-known mining engineer Nor man Stines was refused the right to testify He was refused on the objection of the attorney supposed ly representing the Development Board, David Scoll, Cochran advis- ed. Cochran's statement was lat CT borne cut by Coffey who was in Washington at the time and was immediately informed by Stines.
 The other author of s. B. 4 Sen ator Green, was interrupted in his intended remarks by a ruling of the chair. He contented himself with stating his view that it is necessary to cut off the Develop ment Board to attain a much needed saving.
 In Opposition
 Statements in opposition to s. B. 4 came from Senators Rivers, Enge- breth, Brownell Peratrovich and Walker.

 Brownell said he is convinced a majority of the Third Division wants the Board continued-but with it's powers restricted and it's finances whittled down. Let's not again get start on building up something, then tear it down, he pleaded. He promised to go along with any proposal to restrict the operations of the Board, as long as it is continued.

|Two-thirds Of AFL,
Half ofCI0U Unions File
Communism Affidavit
BY the Assoeioisd Press

Half of the national unions In
the CLIO and two-thirds of the ma
tional unions in the AFL have filed
nom Communist afIidavits with the
National Labor Relations Board, the
board announced yesterday.
At the same time, General Counsel
Robert N. Denham announced that
nearly 80 per cent Of the various
afndavit forms submitted by unions
to the NLRB were faulty in some
way. They have been returned to
the unions for correction.
The Taft-Hartley Act requires
local and national unions, before
they can seek the protection Of the
NLRB, to do these things: Cd File
statements with the NLRB in which
all their officers swear they are not
Communists; CD file financial state
ments and other information with
the Labor Department.; 60 dis
tribute the financial statements to
their membership.
Errors Made on Third Point.
Mr.. Denham said the most COM
mon error was in connection with
the third point.
Unions must send forms to NLRB
Offices explaining their method Of
distributing the financial state
ments.
Mr.. Denham said many local
unions have failed to distribute the
information properly. He said put
ing a copy on the bulletin board
isn't enough, and that unions must
endeavor to distribute copies OF the
required data to all of their men,
bers."
There are several ways of doing
this. For example, the union news
paper can be used. But the NLRB
wants to know how 1t was done.
If the NLRB oficials aren't
satisfied that the law has been COM
piled with, they send the form back
to the union.
The figures on the number OF
filings announced yesterday show
that-as of last Tuesday-125 na-
tional unions and 2,176 local unions
have submitted non Communist
affidavits.
70 AFL Unions File.
OF the national unions, 10 are
in the AFL (Which has los unions
in alb and 20 are in the CIO (Which
has Al.
The NLRB didn't name the unions
which have filed, but some of the
CIO unions which have not filed
are the United Electrical Workers,
Steelworkers, Shoe Workers, Fur
niture Workers, Packing House
Workers, Fur Workers and Food
and Tobacco Workers. In the AFL
the most publiciZed holdout Is the
United Mine Workers.
