The Wrangell sentinel., 1949-04-29

The Alaska Aeronautics and Communication Commission will gather in Juneau next Wednesday for it's first session since the en- actment of the new aeronautics act, creating a Division of Avia- tion. Number one job will be get ting a man to head up the Div ision, which will have headquar- tegs in Anchorage. Salary act which passed the last Legislature sets the salary for the Director at $7,O0O a year. The act setting up the Division leaves the salary more or less at the discretion of the Commission. It probably will take a legal opinion to determine which act pertains. Due to the qualifications required of the Di- rector. it may be difficult to get a man at the s7.0O0 figure due to high salary levels in the aviation field Members Of the Commission are Sheldon Simmons of the First division Neal Foster of the Sec ond, Jack Carr of the Third and William Layery of the Fourth with the Governor as Chairman. The four divisional members operate airlines of their own.

There isn't likely to be a meet ing of the Alaska Statehood Com mittee, created by the action of the last Legislature. for some little time What the committee is con sidering is the employment of a qualified person to assist Delegate Bartlett back in Washington in trying to get through an enabling act, authorizing a constitutional convention, etc, to pave the way for statehood. Congress already is talking about adjourning along in midsummer so that if an enabling act can't be pushed through in the next two or three months it prob ably will be another year before action can be anticipated; thus the emphasis on Washington at this time.

For staff members of Radio Sta tion KINY, which has given en- thusiastic support to Maxim Scha- piros piano-fund benefit concert tonight, there have been several ironical aspects of the situation.
 Item one-The inadequate in- strument" on which Schapiro played October 13, and which he will use tonight in the 20th Gen. tury Theatre, is KINY's. The sta- tion is continuing it's custom of several years, of loaning the stu dio Kimball for Juneau concerts.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-tP-- Federal Judge Alexander Holtzoff ruled today that Rep. J. Parnell Thomas CR-NJ) must stand trial Nov. ' on charges of defrauding the government.

 They keynoted the angry re- sponse of at least portion of the Navy to the decision of Secretary Matthews, backed by President Truman, to fire Denield for his opposition to defense policies that cut down on the Navy and put what he calls over-smphasis on big Air Force bombers.
 Nearly a full day after the White House announcement of Denfeld S custer, Denfeld himself still had net received official notice that he was being relieved.
 Among some Navy men there was clear evidence of anger over what they regarded as this dis courtesy to the admiral.
 There was also no word as to who will succeed Denteld in the top Navy post, or as to what duties may be offered to Denfeld
 Charles G. Ross, presidential press secretary, told news con- ference he had no information on that
 Ross also said, in reply to a question, that the White House had received no messages over night protesting Denfelds removal
 Denfeld's aides said that at least 1,5o0 telegrams had arrived by this morning for him, but that the ad- miral had not had a chance to read them Telephone lines into his office were jammed with in- coming calls, they said.
 When Denfeld arrived at his office, a Marine sentry told him that a number of men were outside ito pay their respects"
 Denfeld told the sentry to let them in.
 The door opened and the 25O sailors in their due uniforms be- gan filing in, finally packing the large room.
 A spokesman for the group told Denfeld:
 Admiral, when you are Presi- dent we hope you will put the Navy Lack on it's feet"
