Later, the governors message,
with his suggestions as to what
bills should be passed, did not
even mention the general ESQ
bill Most legislators had viewed
it as the key to completion of the
special session job.
The governors message brought
a new flood of condemnation on
his head from Democratic mem
bers in the House. They accused
the governor of being instrument
tai in maneuvering them into a
corner and that he had unjusti-
fiably asked for a federal Dept.
of Justice ruling on the loan issue
after the Alaska attorney general,
the governors official legal adj
wiser under the statutes, had adj
viSed such a loan would be legal.
The House passed a resolution
Of assurance to the public and
territorial agencies and employees
that the immediate absence of an
appropriations bill will not cause
any interruption in territorial act
ivities
1t said 1.-The present situation is
not unusual in the experience of
state governments and need cause
no anxiety in Alaska since obli-
cations as yet unprovided for will

Alaska Politics

JUNEAU, LR - The grand old
man of Alaskan politics" steps

was elected in the October cleo
ton when Roden did not choose
to run again.
Over long public career, the
energetic little SWisS-bOrn Alas

est offices which it lies within the
scope of Alaskans to bestow upon
a fellow citizen.
He was lured to Alaska origin
ally by the gold fever at age "a
and in 1910 he entered public
service as an assistant US. dis
trict attorney at Fairbanks He
was elected to the first territorial
legislature in 1912.
Roden served in five sessions

an Independent. In 1941 he was
president Of the Senate.
AS an attorney, he became one
of the territory's foremost author
tiles on mining law, and from
1941 to 1945 he served as attorney
general.
He was appointed territorial
treasurer in 1949 to fill a vacancy
and led the ticket as a vote
getter when he ran for the office

terests and is the chairman Of the
board Of trustees for the Pioneers

Gas Is Discovered
Near Northway On
Alaska Highway

FAIRBANKS Up -- An Alaska
Highway service station operator
drilling for water Tuesday struck
gas which burst from the shaft
with tremendous force.
William Seaton, owner of Sea-
tons Service Station, 292 miles
south of Fairbanks discovered the
gas while seeking water 200 feet
under the surface.
The water drilling rig was Sc
verely damaged by the gust of
gas which is pouring from a six
inch shaft.
The discovery Immediately
touched off a run to the Land Of
flee. More than 10000 acres Of
land was leased in the area by
noon and new filings were flood
ing into the office.
Bill Darlin, owner of Scotty
Creek lodge, eight miles south Of
the Seaton property described the
outpouring Of gas in long dis
lance conversation with the
Newsminer.
"When / got there at s. o'clock
Wednesday the gas had been
pouring out for "a hours" He said
Its velocity seemed to have sub
sided from when it first started
according to people who had been
watching it. But it still had such
force it was impossible to hold
your hand over the Six-inch pipe. J"
Doctor Ernest Patty, president
of the University of Alaska and
longtime Alaska mining engi-
neer, said the gas could be either
commercially worthless methane
or swamp gas, or it could be
valuable natural gas. He said the
area was dotted with lakes and
swamps giving rise to the possib-
ility this was large pocket of
swamp gas. But he said the ire
mendous volume Of escaping gas
gave reason to believe that it
was natural gas. He said sample
of the gas was being gathered
and would be analysed by the
University and until then there
could be no way of determining
the value Of the discovery
Seaton's Service Station is To-
Gated about 80 miles south of
Northway on the Alaska High
way. The area is north of large
petroleum fields in Canada.
