R. f. Robertson
Resigns from
School Board
Veteran Director Declares
Opposition TO Ma
jorify Views

Because he is not in accord
with policies of a majority of
the Board, r. E. Robertson has
rendered his resignation as Director
Iof the Juneau Public School Board,
to be effective August 81, l947.
In submitting his resignation,
tender of which was disclosed here
today, the man who has served
longest on the local school board
else stressed his disapproval Of
the dumping of Alaska Native
School children into the public
school system.
Director Robertson's letter OF
resignation, addressed to the Ju-
neau Public School Board and to
the Mayor and Council, dated
August 81, reads:
Gentlemen:
Il hereby resign as Director OF
the Juneau Public School Board
effective August 81, 1947.
Il am not at all in accord with
many of the apparent policies OF
the majority of the Board and any
effort on my party to change these
policies 1 have little doubt would
be futile despite how much l may
disapprove of them.
Nor do l favor suffering the
Office of Indian Affairs to burde',
the Board with the education OIL
the children of Indian blood who
should receive their education in
the Juneau~ Indian !. .,r~.- Native
School
Il am firmly convinced that the
Secretary of the Interior is still
charged by Congress with the
supervision and control of the edu-
cation of those children. I also
believe that the acceptance into
the Juneau Public Schools of all
children of Indian blood will not
be inimical to the best interests,
not only of the Indian children
themselves, hut also of the white
children.
II ana satisfied that the action
of the Office of Indian Affairs
and their superiors in the Depart
ment of Interior is motivated en-
tirely by politics and not by any
sincere interest to promote the
welfare of either the Indian or
the white children.
THE Juneau Public School
Board during the many years l
have been Director has never dis
eliminated against the Indian
children; in fact, about to 10
percent of the pupils have been Of
Indian blood. I favor and be-
lieve in the gradual assimilation
of our Indian people as well as
their children into our white civ
ilization, including the schools,
but I strongly oppose the Juneau
Public Schools accepting sole re-
sponsibility for the education of all
Indian children of school age, and
fear it will result disastrously both
to the white and Indian children.
"Coincident with this resigna-
ton, l thank the people of Juneau
for the confidence they showed in
me by electing me as a Director
of the Board for so many terms.
Yours truly,
"R. E. ROBERTSON

LEMkE BILL
Juneau VFW Post Says HR
Is 'Unetonomie and Un-
realistic for Veterans

The Lemke Bill was disapproved
last night at a special meeting OF
Taku Post, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, which had been called to
consider the bill, now pending be-
fore the U. S. Senate, which would
open up land in Alaska for settle
ment by veterans. The VFW
pointed out that the bill could
accommodate only in $500 vet
Grams as it is now written.
The veterans organization said
that the probable effect of the
Lemke Bill CHR 4059) would be to
6elay or discourage establishment
of paper pulp industry in Alaska
by enablying nuisance value en-
tries in the path of this industry.
The concept embraced by HIP
1859 is, from the standpoint
of veterans, uneconomic and I'M
realistic in that few veterans have
the means or the specialized back
grounds to fulfill requirements nee
essary for patenting such home
steads, or to make their livings
thereon as bonafide homesteaders
rather than as spectators or in
dustry- entrymen," said
the resolution signed by Hunt
Gruening, Commander of Taku
Post.
Suggest Other Methods
The Juneau VFW post suggested
that more practical means of
aiding veterans and of fostering
settlement and Development of
Alaska would be accomplished by
making small tracts of public lands
in National Forest reserves avail
able to veterans by enactment of
suitable Legislation. 1t asked for.
l. Liberalization of the existing
system of use permits" and more
expeditions granting of patents.
2. Military service credit against
required domestic" occupancy per-
iods, as now allowed for home
Isteads."
3. Alternative outright purchase
privilege of tracts classified as
domestic or special use" sites,
with savings clause protecting the
present permittees.
4. Liberalization of present pol
icies relating to classification OF
domestic" and special use" sites,
and a reduction of public use"
claSsifications.
Spirit of Bill Okay
The VFW Post approved the
stated detectives of the bill for
settlement and development OF
Alaska, full utilization of its re-
sources and the furtherance of
national security. The group urg-
ed the Senate to vote against
passage of the bill because of the
flaws which they had explained.
The WV Resolution concluded
with a request for liberalization
of the means whereby veterans
may obtain title to small tracts
of public lands in National Forest
reserves.
Copies of the resolution are to
be sent to the Legislative Direct
or of the National VFW, the Res
olutions Committee for the Nation
