COP Doubts Legality Of School Board Election
Grave Issue
Is Cited By
Six HOpefuls

1IlG luI llGW lillS WEEK OVGl
a charge by Republican legis-
lative candidates that the cur
rent school board elections
may be illegal.
The Republicans said the legal
ity question is due to the "incred-
ible bungling" of the present
Democratic delegates.
Blair Lee III, chairman Of the
Legislative delegation, retorted
that the COP stand rs untound-
ed in fact and law and is thor
oughly Irresponsible
The hassle arose over a 1857
bill, sponsored by county Demo
Gratis at request of the school
board, setting two-year terms for
three school board members to
be elected this year.
Purpose of the bill was to
provide staggered terms for
board members. Beginning
in 1860, all terms will be for
four years.
Howe ver, the Republicans
claim that the 1857 bill violates
a 1856 constitutional amendment
specifying that all county and
state officers shall serve four
year terms.
Enactment of the 1857 bill,
therefore, could be "the greatest
legislative 'boo-boo in the history
of the state according to the Re
publican candidates.
They said the Democratic dele
cation thus either "willfully ig-
nored the constitution, or just
plain forgot" about the prior
amendment.
The statement was signed
by these COP candidates:
Thomas Anderson DR., Brent
BOzell, Charles CamaIier, DR.,
James Miller, DR., Ronald
Senseman and Murray Pres
ton.
Lee fired back a vitriolic state
ment in which he declared he
knows "of M other bill during
the past four years that has been
so thoroughly scrutinized in adj
vance for possible constitutional
defects"
He said two separate legal
opinions from the attorney gen
eral had upheld the 1857 bills
constitutionality.
The opinion held that a mem
ber of school board was not a
county officer" within the mean
ing of the amendment, Lee said.
"One expects a certain amount
of exaggeration in campaign
statements" Lee declared, "but
this kind of scarehead stuff is
carrying the spirit of Halloween
too far"
He said the school board, the
delegation, the attorney generals
office and the governor "all
carried out their respective duties
with impeccable care"
Lee further referred to the Re
publican charge as an fdiotic
statement" and an "unwarranted
insult" to all involved in the 1857
staggered-term bill.
Charles w. Prettyman, legal
counsel for the county school
board, was unavailable for com.

AVA Seeks To Find Housing For 1859 Tourists

SEATTLE, R - Suitable hous- ing to take care of Alaska's influx of visitors in the summer of 1859 ranks as one of the new States major problems, Everett w. Pat ton, president. of the Alaska Wis itors Association, said Saturday.
 Patton returned recently from Washington, where he conferred with Federal Housing sAdministra- ton officials regarding the acute transient housing shortage. in An chorage and Fairbanks. 2
 'aIt doesn't make sense when tourists have to sleep in their cars on the street in the shadow, of apartment buildings that have vacancies" he said.
 Patton, hoping to be able to use vacant apartments to care for tourists, learned that the build ings are FHA-insured and regu- lations do not permit their use for transients. Patton said Con ~gressional action will be necessary to make the rooms available.
 Although Alaska has built more motels and inns in recent years, the are full during summer trav- el months and are not convenient for visitors on tours who are with out automobiles.
 A survey of Alaska hotels and motels made by R. A. Derr, man aging director of AVA, showed that 1915 more beds were needed nightly during July and August of this year.
 Bookings for Alaska package tours in 1859 are far ahead of bookings at this time last year, Patton said.

BIA Assures Native Welfare Needs
 Will Be Met

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS E. flaw kins, area director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, today assured John Butrovich that the welfare needs of Alaska Natives will be met this winter.
 At the same time, Hawkins sug- gested to Butrovich, the Repub- lican candidate for Governor, that the new State Legislature should provide funds to match federal appropriations for work projects for the Natives.
 "We all agree" he said. ''that work projects are much more de- sirable than an outright dole." j Butrovich had written to flaw kins urging immediate aid for the Natives. He said he had seen from personal observation" the plight of many Native villages which are facing a hard winter because of the poor fishing season. In his letter to Butrovich, flaw kins said:
 "Thank you for your letter con- corning the welfare needs of many villages scattered through out Alaska which I received today. We also have been con- cerned about the hard times fac ing the Native people of Alaska
 "I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have received infor- nation from the Washington Of flee of the Bureau of Indian Ali fairs that the welfare needs ot the Alaska Natives are to be met this winter. I have been person ally assured that every efort will be made to find additional funds for Alaska. This is very encour- aging when one considers the poor fishing season which many areas experienced this past summer.
 ''In addition, you will recall that Secretary Seaton announced that Federal funds were available for matching with state funds fol relief projects in the villages thi. winter. I would strongly urge that some funds be set aside by the new State for such matching purposes. We all agree that work projects are much more desirable than an outright dole.
 "Thank you for your interest and if we can be of any more as sistance, please inform us."
