ATC OFFICIAL LASHES OUT AT SKINNER
 IN INTERVIEW HERE

stopping of here Saturday night while a vessel of the Alaska Transportation Company was in port. James U. Pinkerton, Assist ant 10 J. A. Talbot, Chairman Of the Board Of the Alaska rranspor- Jation Company, lashed out at Gil Skinner's alleged current efforts tu gain a Maritime Commission de eison which would give the Alaska Steamship and Northland Trans pOrtation Company complete monoply in the operation of Am erIcan Flag vessels to Alaska.
 Speaking with a soft, southern urawl, Pinkerton left no uncer- tainty as to the stand of the Al aska Transportation Company:
 Competition is the lie blood of economic development and pro- gress, Pinkerton said. "Competi- uon leads To liner services in all ueids oI human endeayor, and We all agree" he added, that the water transportation services to Alaska could stand lot Of i'm provement.@
 Iinkerton pointed out that if the Maritime Commission grants a monOpIy To skinner, there will be little, II any incentive, for the i'm pFUYemeuI OI seryIces to the Ter ruUry He sad the Alaska Trans portauon Company Ielt that a mOnoply was not conducive to the piOauIHg oT modern vessels and equipment nor 10 the adoption of improved metuods in handling OI cargo, all of which would aid in Jue reduction or rates, he said.
 in speaklng OI the reduction or Ile.gnt rates, PInkerlou pointed to Iue lowered IreIghI rates on strap peu, packaged lumber, winch went Into effect a lew days ago, as be- Ing all example oI how tue econ Uluy oI the territory can De Dene- neJed Dy improved handling meth Ous.

 Nnen asked aUout the Alaska transportation Company's desire 10 operate their vessels to the west ward, Pinkerton stated that a strong fight was being waged to get authority from the Maritime Commission for ATC vessels to serve all of Alaska on an un- restricted basis.
 At present, Pinkerton said, Mir. Skinner has a monopoly on che run to the Westward, but il the wishes of the majority of the residents Of that area are obserV- ed by the Maritime Commission, he will be getting some competi- ton one of these days in the near future. We'll have an ATC vessel on loading berth for the Westward h short order if We are success tul in our efforts to gain author ity to run to all ports throughout the Territory. We are just as anx- ious to bring about some improve ment In the service to the West ward by giving MT. Skinner some competition out there as the resi- dents are to seeing those improve

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

The corner had been turned. 1g47 was history and l94S had bounded lustily into the picture tO take over for the 12-mOuth haul.
 What eager-beayer AS would do about il remained to be seen, but what tired old '47 had done a. bout it in Alaska was interest. ing 10 review. Here ane some of the highlights:
 Almost before little 47 had dof- fed his diaper and graduated into long pants. the now famed lsome haya another name for Legisla- ture gathered in Juneau for it's bi- ennial 60 day esssion. What il ac- complished can be found in the session laws; what Il failed to do became the talk of the Territory. And now. with the beginning O. a new year, came the groundwork for a special session request. h a few words - it had failed to balance the Territorial Budget by the sim pie process Of passing appropria- tions Tor over 1O million dollars a. gainst anticipated revenues of ap- proXimately six and a hall million. II had kicked out all proposed ad- ditiOnal revenue measures and dumped the problem of trying 10 keep the Territory functiOning in- to the lap of the Board Of Admin istration. It had given the good r#ls1r nan 1- nouncement 10 null over, "oh, there'u be plenty of money
 The question on most lips, a. I94S arrived was ~Where?'
 #&# *#
 Going with the legislative headache was the water transport ation problem. On May 2I the Maritime Commission had turned the vessels which il had been op- erating during the war back to the private companies, meanwhile granting the three companies a lat rate increase. Alaskans fought the raise as exorbitant but they were still paying al the years end and would continue to pay until al least well into 194S.
 &E
 The year I947 saw Alaska pro dueing tae most valuable aafmOn pack on record for the Territory although it was lar below average in volume The approximately l., 0OO,0UU cases was valued at more than $SO,0OO,O0U. Pink salmon brought up to $2O a case and reds and kings S24.50 and up.
 1t was not. however, a good year for the average fisherman because the catch was comparatively small although the prices skyrocketed.
 $
 The year just ended saw the Tongass Timber Bill passed by Congress and the reservation ques- ton opened anew. AS attorneys for the Indian people began an at- tempt to have it declared uncon- stitutional, the result 10 date was the delaying of a potential pulp industry.
 Other highlights included the military construction at Anchorage Fairbanks, Mile 26 and interior points; burning of FarWest Can nery at Wrangell; school enroll ment topped at ten thousand in the Territory for the first time in All aska's history and air crashes which took more than 40 lives in the Territory.
