Statehood AdvO- cates "Perpetrating Great Hoax

4. The bill would retain federal control over the Tongass National Forest, Arnold said. He said that area embraces most of Southeast ern Alaska.
 Under the terms of the bill," he said, "the new State receives no lands in this vast area until the lands are no longer useful for for est purposes"
 "Since the forest service has a perpetual cropping plan for the Tongass Forest" he said. "The State will never receive any of the lands"
 Elaborate pamphlets containing Arnolds statement, photostats and statistics about 100 pages long were prepared for each Sen ator.
 ''The plain, ungarnished truth" his statement said, lis that if Alaska, with it's non-contiguity, lack of developed resources and heterogeneous population is quail fled for admission, so is Puerto Rico. If Alaska is admitted and Puerto Rico barred, the distinc- ton will be purely on racial grounds"
 Meanwhile, the committee We'd nesday heard som two-dozen wit nesses plead for Alaskan State hood. Many of them are Alaskan residents who were here for the hearing.
 w. O. Smith told the committee the Alaska fishing industry is worth $125,OOO,OO0 a year and is "self-perpetuating."
 But there is no free enterprise in the industry" Smith said, an Alaskan fisherman himself.
 "The fisheries are controlled by the fish industry and the federal Fish and Wildlife Service," he said. "This large industry should be under the control of the State of Alaska"
 He said the "Industry" controls one-half of the salmon-trap sup ply and thus controls one-half of all the fish coming from Alaskan waters.
 He said outlawing of fish traps would expand the canning indus try's life from three weeks to three months a year.
 British Columbia and the State of Washington has outlawed fish traps," he said. "The canning sea- son in British Columbia is three months long. In Alaska it is all over in three weeks"
 He said fishermen who don't have traps, "can't compete" with those who do. Eight canning com panies, he said, own one-half of the allowable 400 fish traps. He said that fish trap areas are bought and cold contrary to the regulations of the Fish and Wild Life Service"
 Statehood, he said, would give control of the fisheries to Alas kans.
 Robert Atwood, publisher of the Anchorage Times, said the House. passed bill would not change the question concerning the rights of aboriginals in Alaska"
 He said he favored the bill.
