Tn another affidavit Gruening said that in l946, after Woodward failed of reappointment to the commission and while he. was act ing as an examiner, Woodward had said the Alaska Steamship companies were correct in their claim for higher rates and said in the presence of the Governor that they must have immediate relief.
 Despite this, Gruening contin- ued, the commission denied the proposed rate increase.
 "Woodward's bias has been clearly revealed" Gruening said. Tt was so thoroughly demonstrat- ed that in the general public. in- terest and in specific interest of the people of Alaska we should be derelict in our duty if we did not insist that Woodward be removed forthwith from any connection whatsoever with Alaska shipping matters"

O'Connor said Wood ward claimed that the material had been discredited at the Seat tie hearing.
