Budget Bureau
Seeks 10 Scrap
D. {. Parks Law
Attempt to Notify
Cupper-Cromton Act
Held Economy Move
BY Colt HendIey, Jr.

The Federal Budget Bureau is
Spearheading an economy move
to scrap or modify the 23-year-
old law under which parks,
parkways and Fairgrounds of
the Washington area have been
developed, it was learned today.
If the move is successful it
will mean:
l. The National Capital Plan
ming Commission would lose it's
function of purchasing lands for
parks, parkways and play
grounds. 1t would be up to the
District government, Maryland
and Virginia to buy what they
want when they want it.
2. The planning commissions
master plan, which has guided
the development of parks in the
area. would gather dust.
3. A large number of park
projects still in the development
stage would never be completed.
4. Maryland would find itself
in a tangle because of the Joint
acquisition of land with the Fed
eral Government under the law.
5. Large tracts OF land in
Maryland, held in reserve for
park lands by private builders at
the resqueSt of planning officials
probably would be lost as parks
when a co-ordinated plan to pur-
chase them is abandoned.
Passed in 1880.
The law in question is the
Capper-Cramton Act, passed in
1880 to give the planning COM
mission a way to put its paper
plans into effect.
-Four programs operate under
the Capper-Cramton Act. They
are the purchase of all parks,
parkways and Fairgrounds for
the District itself; the purchase
OF land for the George WASH
1ngton Memorial Parkway on
both sides of the Potomac river
from Mount Vernon to Great
Falls; the development of the
valley streams in Maryland, and
the development of the valley
streams In Virginia.
The move by the Budget Blu
reau either to scrap or modify
the Capper- -Cramton Act fol-
lowed the Bureaus fiat ban on
any funds for land acquisition
in next years budget for the
Planning Commission.
The planning commissions
budget sent to Congress by the
Budget Bureau under the Tru-
man administration called for
81, 1,250,000 for land purchases.
The Budget Bureau, under the
Eisenhower administration, sent
out instructions to cut back and
eliminate land funds.
No Funds for Purchases.
AS the budget now stands. the
planning commission has not a
penny for land purchases. The
Budget Bureau explained the
slash was made in the interest
of economy.
Just how far the Budget
Bureau intends to 90 in regard
to the Capper- -Cramton Act is
not clear. It was understood that
some Budget Bureau officials
want the act repealed outright.
Others are advocating killing
certain sections.
Repeating of any of the sec
tionS will have the effect of kill
ing the master plan for orderly
development of the parks in the
Washington area. according to
Blair Lee III, executive officer
of the Planning Commission.
He said the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission has stated in
formally that if the Federal Gov
ernment does not live up to its
end of the commitments under
the CapperICrafton Act, 1t will
have to take steps to get Mary
land out of the program COM
pletely.

ALASKA WAITS HER TURN

Reprinted from the New Times of Febduary g. 1859
 Whether the present Congress and administration will give us two states, state, state is uncertain. The Republican platform promised immediate statehood for Hawaii and statehood for AL aska under equitable enabling act. The suspicion that would be found to postpone Alaskan statehood General Eisenhower, during his campaign, went beyond this device if such it He advocated the quick admission of both Alaska and Hawaii In his message the state of the Union he still urged the admission of Hawaii but said nothing about Alaska.
 We have no reason to question the Presidents good faith What he is advocating is probably what he thinks this Congress at session will accept. But it would be ingenious for anybody to believe that the usually advanced against Alaskan statehood at this time-inadequae population pioneer stage of development, need for experience in sefgovern- men etc-are the really compelling Self inter est, political and economic inside and outside the terri tory, plays lively part All the arguments the honest and the hypocrtcal the overt and the hidden, are poor excuse for keeping 15O000 Americans in the status of second class citizens getting second class treatment from absentee legislators.
 Alaskas population today is not much less than that of Nevada. Under the drive of defense nstalla- tons and the speededup development of resources, especially minerals, the territory is bound to grow. And certainly community which is not allowed to govern itself makes poor example for the non-self- governing communities not far off the Boring Sea and Boring Strait.

 Instead the whole town was plunged into darkness.
 Mayor J. Russell Shea's blush was hidden for two hours until workmen repaired a power line, blown down by high winds, and the ceremony of dedicating the new high power lights was re- stunned.

Senate Passes Bill For Election of Committeeman
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, LR - The Senate, after a hour and one-half debate, passed bill yesterday afternoon to provide for popular election of major parties national committee men and committeewomen.
 The vote was 9-7, with one Democrat joining with eight Re publicans to put it over The measure now returns to the House.
 The bill was originally intro duced in the House by Rep. Dor othy Prior as a bill covering the popular election of precinct con- mitteemen, but the Senate split it into two bills.
 The Senate then killed the sep arate bill providing for popular election of the precinct committee men by 12-4 vote.
 Before adjournment of the longest session of this years meet ing, after o'clock, the Senate also passed unanimously and sent to the House a bill for a wing addition to the Pioneers Home at Sitka. The wing is designed to accommodate g men and 20 Wom- en, with Women's hospital facil- ities. No exact cost figures were available but the finance com mittee reported indications were that it would be around $50O,0OO
 The national committeeman bill, however, was the 15-round main event, and almost that many sen- ators talked on it.
 The long debate brought talk of smoke-filled rooms and politi- cal bossism, and at one point, Sen. Howard Lyng described the House sponsor of the bill as an attractive, Statuesque woman, but naive in political affairs"
 The main speakers against the bill were Lyng, former Demo- cratic chairman and national com- mitteeman, and Elton Engstrom, Republican chairman.
 Sen. Gorsuch contended it was the legislatures "duty to clean up" party affairs; the peoples vote showed they were sick and tired of political manipulations."

House Repeals
 Employment Security Act
By JIM HUTCHINSON


 JUNEAU, R - The House Re publican majority whipped thru on solid party line vote Monday afternoon bill to repeal the pre- sent Employment Security Com mission Act. Then the House voted 23-1 for a bill to create a new commission.
 The repeal bill whipped through 24-0 after heated debate in which Rep. Wendell Kay accused the Republicans of "railroading" and said the bill should be labeled a "bill to abolish Ralph Rivers"
 Rivers, mayor of Fairbanks and former Democratic attorney gen. eral, is the lone remaining mem Der of the three member com mission.
 Rep. Bert Rutherford, chairman of the Labor Committee which in troduced the bills, said the pur- pose was to get a change of pol icy to conserve the unemployment compensation fund, especially the heavy drain for payments to workers who return to the states and still draw payments.
 Rep. William Boardman de- scribed it as niagara of pay ments pouring outside"
 Boardman declared Kay was endorsing a policy under which the fund paid out $1.42 average over four years for each dollar of receipts during a period of high employment.
 "We want to keep it an insur- ance system, not a dole" he said.
 The Anchorage legislator ex- pressed the belief that Rivers tried to do a conscientious job but added that 'it was appalling to the committee to find that he could not answer basic, pertinent questions about the offices opera tions; he wasn't even aware that payments from the fund last year ] were $4O0,000 over receipts" Kay told the House that if the plan is to put construction work CTS on a seasonal basis so they cannot automatically draw checks when their jobs expire at the end l of the construction season ''it would be disastrous to recruiting workers for Alaska
 Debate reached a high point when Rep. Dorothy Prior, Anch- orage Republican, showed a flash of feminine fury in debating Rays arguments.
 She said she knew of men mak- ing $200 to $500 weekly, unmar- ried and buying new cars, who would file compensation claims with commission office encourage ment before heading for tn ( states.
 Kay responded that a compen- sation claim is a matter of right whether an individual was buy 1 ing a new car or new house, and it was intended to keep the local economy on an even keel.

Japan Hopes Have Lumber Mill In
 Alaska Next Year

TOKYO, LR - Japan hopes to finance and operate a lumber mill in Alaska's vast forests within a year, says the head of a seven man technical delegation which recently returned from Alaska.
 Takuji Oshima said the Japa- nese government has been nego- tiating with the US. State Depart ment since early last year for rights to cut timber in Alaska and a general agreement wa s reached.
 He said if the program was put through, it would fit in with the US. development program in AL aska under which pulp mills would help supply the world with much needed newsprint and paper
 Although no concrete agree ment on financing, construction and operation of the lumber mill has been made, Oshima said Japan has been granted the right to Ibid for the deal"
 If the plans are approved he said a Japanese lumber company would be established in Alaska and build mill.
 This would equal the largest lumber mill now operating in Japan but would be considered small in comparison with U. s. mills.
 The forestry expert said the trees are getting "over-ripe" and declared that when this happens the trees die and new saplings cannot grow.
 If proper deforestation were undertaken in US. national for ests of Alaska, he added, lumber mille would operate indefinitely
 Oshima said US. timber con- panies were interested in cutting only spruce trees while hemlocks are untouched. He said two-t thirds of Alaska's forests are hemlock.
 Our negotiations are an open book,' he said. Japan only wants to be in line with other countries who may obtain timber rights. We only want the right to bid for the deal, and that we have ob- tained."
 When asked why Japan had turned to Alaska, Oshima said the only places in the world today that produce soft woods in large quantities are South America, Si- beria and Alaska
 South America is too far away Siberia is behind the Iron Curtain so naturally we turn to Alaska, , he said
