CHAMBER 0pp0SES
 ANS MOVE; SENDS
 SEC. KRUG LETTER

Strongly opposing the proposed move of the Alaska Native Service headquarters from Juneau to An chorage, the Juneau Chamber of Commerce today approved transmit tai of a letter to Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug, stating ob- jeetions and disadvantages.
 A proposed letter was read and suggestions from the floor are to be incorporated in the final draft to be prepared by the executive hoard.
 Among reasons given for opposing the move are:
 Amounts saved in travel expenses would be offset by other additional travel and correspondence involved, i, all governmental departments should be located in one city, especially in this case where interdepartmentai communication is necessary; ANS employees who have invested in homes in Juneau would be unable Co find adequate housing elsewhere and face much higher costs in all other living expenses; the cost ot cffice rental would be double the ccst here.
 Norman c. Banfield spoke on the marine inspection regulations ano gave a report on a recent conference in Juneau with marine inspection officials of the Coast Guard and representatives of the Chamber. While there is no way to get around complying with the regulations, Garfield pointed out, there IS no question but what many former in- expectations of the regulations were unreasonable and assurance has teen given that protests of further interpretations will be given every consideration at Coast Guard headquarters.
 Vessel owners attending included James V. Cole, Ralph Reischl Earl For sythe, John L. Sullivan, Ray and Jack Westfall.
 Cole stated that he feels the people in outlying areas of Southeast Alaska do not get adequate service because of the regulations involved for vessels over 65 feet in length.
 The Chamber will have resolu- ton, embodying Chamber policy on this Sllbiect next week
 Before adjournment Chamber ot Commerce members stood in silence in tribute to Leroy Vestal, Jr., Cas- tineau Channel war hero who was killed in action and whose body was home today.

CRITICISM MADE OF
 UNIVERSITY ALASKA RESEARCH PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, March 18.-R-- An official of the House Appro- priations Committee says farmers of Alaska and research people both are critical of the agricultural research program at the University of Alaska.
 The committee made public a report by Arthur Orr, executive secretary of one of it's subcommit- tees, that farmers of the Territory have a very strong feeling of dis satisfaction with the character of work being carried on by the Uni velsity Agriculture Experiment Station"
 Orr also reported he found that research people would not remain at the University station because they felt that a genuine research program was not being carried on
 Personnel At Fault
 Tt was charged. he, continued, that. while certain research pro- jects were set up the re- search personnel did not regard them as genuine research, that the selection of a research project was governed primarily by the question whether it would result ill large production of food pro- ducts at a low cost suitable for use of the University dining table. Some of the research personnel told me they had quit because they felt they were wasting their own tlme and the governments money
 The committee also made public testimony by Dr. w. V. Lambert, research administrator of the Ag- riculture Department, on plans for the Department Alaska agricul- ture experiments for the year be- ginning July l. The committee recommended $185, ,94O for the work and up to $300.0o0 for equipment, buildings and facilities.
 Needed Experiments
 Dr. Lambert said the experi- fpents will be in soils, field and horticulture crops, animal and dairy products and agricultural en- gineering.
 There are. good possibilities for producing locally much more food and feed needed for the popula- tion than is grown at the present time" he said.
 Lack of modern laboratory fac iiities is one handicap faced in the Territory, he said, and recom- mended that the central research station be located at Palmer in the Matanuska Valley.

This system guarantees that

Regardless of what happens
there, he said, the states Fighters
