|Maybank Supports
60-Day Rent Curb
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

Chairman Maybank Of the Sen
ate Banking Committee has indi-
Gated he may go along with an ex-
tension of Federal rent controls
perhaps for go days.
This represents a modification
of his previously expressed doubt
that any rent action is needed this
year.
Senator Maybank told a reporter
yesterday that the three months
extension proposed by President
Truman seems too long" On the
other hand, he added. 30 days
seems little short"
Senator Maybank said he and
Chairman Spence Of the House
Banking Committee "are in direct
agreement that we have no busi-
ness as lame-duck Congress do
ing anything except extending the
present law" Any further move,
he said, should be up to the new
Congress taking over January 3.

PROPOSED CHANGE,
STATEHOOD BILL

SEATTLE, July 10-A-An In
ternational Fisheries Commission
member today charged the fisheries
provision of the amended Alaska
statehood bill would encourage for
eign entanglements.
Edward w. Allen. member Of
Gen. MacArthur's fisheries mission
to Japan, said the amended bill
threatens to sacrifice an important
food asset of this country"
Allen commended the bill should
be rewritten to state specifically
what fishery control is to be vested
in the proposed new state alaska
cat least it should be re-drafted
to provide expressly for the repeal
of the present fishery laws relating
to Alaska" he said
The federal government has been
regulating salmon fishing for many
years.
ut is the only power which can
protect salmon runs in the future
against destructive fishing by Rus
SLAMS and Japanese, Allen said.
Allen said the amended statehood
bill does not repeal the present fed
eral laws protecting Alaska fishing,
but does take away all facilities for
enforcing them.

WAGE CORRELATION
D0CkETED IN FIELD.
COMMITTEE MEET.

Most Interior Department heads
in Juneau took off today for Pal
mer to attend the second quarterly
meeting this year of the field COM
mittee, headed by Kenneth j. Ka-
dow.
The meet opens tomorrow, and
will last three days. Kadow left
no word prior to his leaving here
as to what subjects would be disF
cuSsed.
The committee is composed of
some dozen department heads oper-
ating on public funds in the Ter
ritory, and was organized to CORE
late activities of the various groups.
Only word on what will be talked
over came from Don H. Miller,
administrative head of the Alaska
Road Commission, due to take off
this afternoon via Pacific Northern
Airlines for the Interior town.
He said he would propose a
personnel management forum" to
bring wages paid by various depart
ments to civilian employees into
line with each other.
Each agency now pays the local
prevailing wage, but are at variance
with each other on numerous prof.
ects because of the nature of work
involved.
He said that carpenters, for ex-
ample, would be paid one scale by
the Alaska Native Service, and an
other scale by the Road Commits
sion, because Of a different inter-
probation of locality"
He said the agencies will attempt
to thrash out this differential, so
that all wages paid by any agency
would be the same in identical
localities.
Col. John R. Noyes, road commits
sioner, will not return to Juneau
until July 26, because after the
meet he will tour the roads under
his charge to inspect progress be-
ing made in construction of new
roads and other work under way
this season.

QUERY ASKED
PALMER
AIRPORT DEAL
'Dieker 10 Gel Matching
Funds from Fed. Agency
Under Fire, News-Miner

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 10--iR
The Fairbanks Daily News-Minel
has proposed a federal inquiry into
$4,000 land transaction for an
airport project at Palmer, in the
Matanuska Valley.
The newspaper said its own in
vestigation showed an attempt was
being made to place a dispropor-
tionate value on the land to get
matching funds from the federal
government.
About 1913 acres of land at Palmer
are involved. The newspaper said
the estimated construction cost OF
the airport was $4,000.
To acquire the land, the News
Miner said, the Territory paid the
Palmer Airport Association $50. 900
which was 81, 172 an acre. The paper
said official records of the Terri
tory at Juneau show that the
Palmer Association shortly there
after repaid s145.000 to the Terri
tory.
The News Miner said the tran
saction created situation in
which the Territory might try to
recover from the federal treasury a
payment of $4,000 in matching
funds (25 percent of the land ac-
QUESTION cost to offset expendi-
lures on Palmer Air Field facilities
prior to 1949. 1t was in 1949 that
the legislature took action that
made the Territory eligible to bene-
fits ur1ler the federal act.
In response to reporters in
quiry at Juneau, Governor Gruen-
ing commented: II am not familiar
with details of the Palmer airport
DEAL but I know it was necessary
to set the price of land at $150,00O
in order to permit the Territory to
receive matching funds for monies
spent prior to passage of the en-
abling act"
A meeting of the aviation board
has been called for Tuesday in An
chorage.

Congress May Not Adjourn
Aspect Of "Interna-
fiondI Policy"

WASHINGTON, July 10 = R -
Chairman O'Mahoney D-Wyo.) Of
the Senate Interior Committee says
today he is confident the Alaska
and Hawaii statehood bills will b.
acted upon by the Senate before
adjournment-if there is an ad-
journment OF Congress.
Some proponents have expressed
fear the two House-approved bills
might be caught in the windup
rush of Congress if it adjourns by
July 81, as predicted by Senate
majority leader Lucas D-IllD.
O'Mahoney said in a statement
it is by no means certain in the
present state of international af-
fairs that Congress can adjourn
OMahoneys statement accom-
panied his committees favorable re-
port on the Alaska statehood bill
1t will be presented to the Senate
next week.
The minority report being pre-
pared by Senator Butler (R-NebD :,
ranking minority member of the
committee, also is expected to be
presented to the Senate during The
coming week.
Statehood for Alaska and I'd
wall 1 regard as a major aspect
of American international policy,
for the passage of these two me.8-
ures will indicate better than al
most anything we can do that the
policy of the United States is to
foster and establish self-govern-
ment by peoples everywhere with
out regard to distinctions of race
or color" O'Mahoney said. "Ac-
cordingly shall continue to press
for early consideration of these
bills"
The committee report on the Al
aska bill reviewed the terms of the
legislation and said it believed the
bill has the support of the major
ity of the citizens of the territory.
1t said Alaska occupies a stra-
tegic position in world affairs and
an important place in national de-
Tense, being only 81 miles from
Soviet territory. 1t said that strict
ly speaking, statehood will not
change the military situation in
the Territory and that its people
would defend it just as completely
under territorial status as under
statehood.
1T is a military axiom" it con-
tinued, that a porulous area w.<l
developed economy, and stable
citizenry and political institutions
is bulwark against invasion, mil
itarily and phychologically.
Alaska and Hawaii are the only
remaining Incorporated territories
under the American flag which have
not yet achieved historic destiny of
incorporated territories, namely
statehood" the report said. THE
present measure and a similar bill
for Hawaii, would complete tNe
historic pattern"
1t said Alaska us ready and
qualified for statehood now.
1T therefore earnestly recon-
mends that the Senate take affirm
ative action on this measure which
is major plank in the platforms
OF both major political parties"
