Bartlett Presents Steamship Service Bill in House

WASHINGTON, - (P) -Legis- lation to extend government sub sidized steamship service to AL aska until 1853 and permit all companies wishing to engage in the service to apply for free gov ernment ships was proposed in Congress yesterday.
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska in troduced the bill in the House. Another bill, offered earlier by Rep. Tollefson R-WashD, would extend the present service until 1850.
 The service now is operated by three Seattle companies us- ing government owned ships which they charter for one doller a year.
 Bartlett's bill would authorize the maritime commission to char ter dollar year ships to any steam ship companies wishing to oper- ate the service. No two companies controlled by the same interests could receive more than 50 per cent of the ships allocated to the service.
 Alaska Steamship Company and Northland Transportation Com pany, both controlled by the Skin ner interests of Seattle, and Alas ka Transportation Co.,, now oper- ate the Alaska service.
 Interior department approval would be required for any con- tracts entered into by the com and ship owners.
 Other provisions of the bill:
 CD The commission in deter the reasonableness of the freight rates to Alaska shall dis regard the insurance paid on the vessels, largely by the govern

Warne Tells Seattle Chamber of COm'ce Alaska's Needs

SEATTLE, - (P) Assistant secretary of the interior William E. Warne, outlined a nine-point program today for Alaska's de- velopment and said a federal in ter-agency committee is consider ing the possibility of opening the door to 'hand-picked' European refugees.
 In a talk to the Chamber of Commerce, upon his return from Alaska, Warne referred to the latter point in these words;
 Among other things, the com mittee is considering what spec ial measure, if any, would be neded to facilitate settlement in Alaska of an appropriate number of carefully selected persons from war refugee camps in western Europe. Many of these refugees had their homes in areas where climatic conditions are similar to those of middle Alaska"
 Citing the desire of other cities to enter the Alaska trade by ship or air, Warne admonished:
 "If you businessmen of Seattle wish to maintain your place in the Alaska picture of tomorrow, you will have to be alert and progressive. The test will be the extent to which you improve your service to Alaska and adjust costs Increased trade, lower unit costs, reduced prices-this is the form ula to keep you abreast of Alaska development"
 He outlined the following points for an Alaskan development pro- gram:
 1. Statehood for Alaska as "soon as possible"
 2. "The entire transportation sys-
