ALASKA STATEHOOD

T certainly hope the bills will be debated on their merits, and that senators may be allowed to vote without any subterfuge being adopt ed in an attempt to defeat the bills," Senator Lucas declared this week in discussing the Alaska and Hawaii statehood bills on the floor of the senate.
 Reference was made to his belief that the Southern bloc in congress was prepared to bring up the Fer guson-Mundt legislation on Com munism should the statehood bills be scheduled for consideration. Then discovered" he stated, "that if that should happen, pos- sibly some senator might attach the civil-rights amendment on the Fer guson-Mundt bill. That would be very difficult parliamentary situ- ation to face"
 The majority leader of the senate spoke when the statehood bills came up automatically on the senate cal- endar this week, that calendar re- quiring unanimou consent for pass age of bills. Since both bills are of major importance, they will when scheduled be debated at length and acted upon on roll call rather than unanimous consent.
 The discussion of the two bills in the senate on August was the latest of a series of "wills' and 'won'ts" in the legislative history of the two bills. Senator Lucas sev- eral weeks ago assured Delegate Bartlett before the Korean situa- tion developed that the bills would

BY MARY LEE COUNCIL Secretary to Delegate E. L. Bartlett

as any one thing all these unror- tunate conditions are present be cause we as a nation were not will ing to face up to the realities and to bring to an end a system which was never intended to last, and which was established only as a temporary expediency. Now the very same people who tell US that reservations in the United States hay failed dismally are trying to convince Us that reservations are the only answer for Alaska
 T grieye that these people, most of whom are so well intentioned. have not gone to the trouble of learning the facts. If they had done so they would, if they followed log ic, be willing to join with me in saying that there should be no res eryations in the territory. The al- formative is simple, and has the added virtue of being right. What we should do is to discover through proper inquiry what lands. if any belong to the natives and then give them those lands. either individual ly or as communities. or if tbev prefer, give them money in lieu of lands. They are thoroughly compe- tent to administer their lands far themselves and to have title to those lands. There is no reason whatsoever why they should he guided forever by the distant band of the federal government and that Is just what would happen under reservation status. To place tbesa people under continuing and direct government supervision would be to turn back the clock of history II Is unthinkabe that we should Il, this.
 The position outlined above was substantially that taken by the AL aska Native Brotherhood and tba Alaska Native Sisterhood until a lew brief years ago. Now they have expressed themselves as being in to- Vor of reservations but I am com Vlnced they have done so only be- cause promises were made to them which never can be translated into reality" ''i'0
 In addition, Delegate BartlAtt made the obseration that Secretary or the Interior Chapman has de- ciared publicly that he will create no more reservations in Alaska
 until there has been an opportu- nity to reconsider thoroughly the national policy toward the Indians and other native groups" a period which is felt will be no less than would be required for action on the statehood bill. "so," the dele gate stated, "it seems clear to me this whole question is rather aca demic"
 After detailing the history of the land problem, Delegate Bartlett summed up the record:
 First. No Alaskan advocating statehood urged that the language to which objection is now made be incorporated in the statehood bill.
 Second. So far as we are con- cerned We have no objection what soever to its deletion. At the same time, we must insist that it's re- tention would not bring about any evil consequences.
 Third. There should be prompt settlement of the Alaska land ques-

 be considered before adjournment; at later date the Illinois senator issued a press release stating the bills would not be considered be- cause of his opinion that a parlia- mentiary tangle would ensue Two days later President Truman de- .clared in a press conference that he didn't agree with Senator Lucas lat all and stated he would continue to urge Alaska and Hawaii state hood at once on the grounds of public interest and national defense
 The senate discussion arose after the Hawaii statehood bill was pass ed over and the Alaska bill came up on the calendar. Senator Knowland of California and Senator Thye of Minnesota joined in the discussion when Senator Lucas stated of the Alaska measure, Tt is undoubtedly of extraordinary importance, in view of what is going on at the present time throughout the world The administration is definitely for this bill. l believe the bill provid- ing statehood for Alaska is of su- perior importance because of the geographic position of Alaska and it's importance to us at the present time. I am just as strong for one as I am for the other so far as as admission to the Union is con cerned."
 Senator Knowland expressed his hope that "the majority leader may find it possible to bring both the9e measures before the senate for ac- tion" in stating his belief that the senator from Illinois might be'"dis- posed toward the Alaska bill and was underemphasizing the Hawaii bill"
 Senator Thye of Minnesota stated, Let me say that we now are en- gagged in cold war; and I believe that from the psychological stand point We would gain much in the cold war if and when both the Ha- waiian Islands and Alaska are ad- mitted to the Union as states, be- cause that action In itself would speak for the United States in a manner so effective that it would offset much of the propaganda of the Communists about the so-called imperialistic attitude of the United States"

RESERVATIONS AND
 STATEHOOD

STATEHOUU
 Believing that a mountain fl being made out of a molehill and that unless the facts are related those of good will who are right. fully anxious to protect minorities will be led astray," Delegate Bart lett this week answered eriticisms launched against certain language in the Alaska statehood bill deal- ing with the creation of native res eryations in Alaska.
 The delegates reply delivered on the floor of the house was directed toward declarations of a number of organizations interested in Indians that the land rights of the native people of Alaska would be sacrificed to the cause of Alaska statehood if certain language now appearing in the statehood bill is retained.
 The language referred to speci- flies that until the people of Alaska and the congress take action to car " out the provisions of the enab- ling act no reservations for Use and occupancy of the natives of Alaska are to be created in Alaska by au- thority of any existing law.
 Authority for the creation of res erYations in the territory was ex- tended to the secretary of the in terior in 1886 The contention of the Indian organizations has been that the power of the secretary of the interior to create reservations was also intended to confirm Indian title to land by setting up those reservations.
 Delegate Bartlett pointed out that the Supreme Court in 1949, in the so-called Karluk case, ruled that the secretary of the interior cannot dispose of federal lands through any authority conferred upon him to create native reserva- tions in Alaska
 Tn 1886" the delegate declared in speaking of the year the power to create reservations was extended to Alaska, 'the proposition of In- dian ownership of land through ab- original use and occupancy or through possession was not at is sue. It was not until 1914 that the proposition was first widely ad- vanced that there was an impera- tive need to settle this proposition by setting aside reservations.
 There are some of us-indeed many of us-who are not persuade2 by the contention that justice will be served and wrongs which may have been committed will be right ed if only reseryations can be set up here and there through Alaska We do not believe anyone will be helped if natives are segregated in Alaska. l do not argue that reser- vations would not necessarily mean physical segregation, but I do and emphatically imply that the end re- suit will be division of the races in contrast to the commingling which has been proceeding so hap oily and with such good results
 We are told over and over again." the delegate continued, that reservation Indians in the states are among the unhappiest of mankind, that they are poorly edu- oated, that health conditions are bad, and shortages of food are often acute. 2
 'It has been said that as much
The Wrangell sentinel., 1950-08-18

ton. It cannot be accomplished in the statehood bill. That settlement must be fair to the natives but at the same time it must be fair to their white neighbors living in AL aska.
 Fourth. A reservation policy found wanting in the states should not be urged now for Alaska espe- cially by those groups who have been so critical of what has gone on in the states.
 'The Alaska natives are mature politically-witness the fact that six members of their race are mem bers of the Alaska legislature-and their adjustment to the white mans civilization has proceeded wonder fully well. If they go on reserva- tions there is bound to be a de- terioration in this regard.
 Those who urge votes against the Alaska statehood bill because of reservations are really arguing against statehood. They want Alas ka to be substantially one reserva- tion;- in that reservation there could be little progress little room for happiness, no room for devel- opment, and the only ones who would be satisfied would be the hired attorneys"

In the barnyard we find feathers

or molted, by the fowls.
That is an old, old habit in the
bird world. Whether they are of
large or small size, birds shed their
feathers. Usually they do this once

Birds throw OF their feathers

Insects also shed their entire skins

came to be known in England as
pantaloons. When modern trousers

French -four became the modern

Navy to Remodel Carrier Kearsarge

WASHINGTON, (P)-The navy announced today it plans a S40,- OOO,OO0 remodeling of the aircraft carrier Kearsarge at the Puget Sound navy yard, Bremerton, Wash.
 It notified Senator Magnuson and Rep. Mitchell, Washington Democrats, of its work program for various navy shipyards.
 The Kearsarge work will keep the full force of $500 employees at the Puget Sound yard at work for two years, the navy said.
 The aircraft carrier Essex, of the same class as the Kearsarge, now is being reconverted at Puget Sound.
