 l3 Alaska Airports

Grant agreements covering fed eral aid in the building or improving of 13 Alaskan airports have been announced by the Civil Aeronautics Administration, totalling $1,395,65O.

WASHINGTON, R - Defense personnel in Alaska-nilitary or civilian-won't lose their pay differentials if Alaska votes to ac- cept statehood. Neither would it make any change in the length of tours for personnel assigned there.
 This was reported Saturday by Delegate Bob Bartlett on the strength of letters and informa- ton received from Defense De- pertinent Jason personnel work ing with Congress.
 Bartlett made public a letter sent him on behalf of Secretary of the Army Brucker, which Bart lett said he was advised also represented the policy view of the Defense Department.
 Neither the cost-of-living all lowances nor the foreign duty pay as authorized by the Career Compensation Act of 1949 for military personnel will be af- fected," the letter said, ''because the law states that members shall be entitled to additional pay while serving outside continental United States or in Alaska"
 Similar wording, with no ref erence to Alaska's governmental status, was included in the Ap- propriations Act authorizing diff ferentials for civilian personnel.
 The letter continued:
 ''The prescribed length of tour for personnel assigned to Alas ka will not change as a result of

Japanese Catch S5%o Of Salmon Allowed In In Russian Waters

TOKYO, LR - The government fishery board said Saturday Japa- nese salmon fishing fleets in Soviet-controlled North Pacific waters have caught 85 per cent of the 110,O0O-ton target set in an agreement with Russia early this year,
 The agreement provided the Japanese must end operations Aug. 10, even though they were month late in starting because of the delayed negotiations.
 It has been feared Japan would not be able to reach the target, putting itself at a distinct dis advantage in next years negotia- tions.
 The fishery board said as of July 31 the Japanese in the Aleutians near Russia had hauled in 72,683 tons and those in the Okhotsk Sea 5,785 tons.
 The unreported haul by other Japanese fishing vessels operat- ing singly, not in fleets, the fishery board said, should push the total near 10000 tons.

Statehood For Alaska To Make No Difference In Cost-of-Living Allowance

statehood. Such factors as iso- ation from the mainland, separa- ton from dependents or other family ties, climatic conditions and other factors which are considered in establishing duty tours and special pay are not altered by statehood
 1t is not planned to assign returnees from oversea areas to Alaska except in case of per sonnel who entered the service from that area and who request specifically such assignment. Nor is it planned to levy personnel from Alaska in support of over seas replacement requirements"
 Bartlett said he had requested the ruling as the result of ru- mors, apparently originating with anti-statehood factions, t h at statehood would alter existing policies.

$29 Million Approved For Military Construction In Alaska During 1859

Appropriations tOtalllng S29,- 592,OO0 for Alaska were approved this week by the House in pas sage of the Military Construction Appropriation Bill and the Sup plemental Appropriation Bill for the 1859 fiscal year.
 The bulk of the appropriations which are scheduled to be con sidered soon by the Senate Appropriations Committee would go for military construction in the amount of $29,392,OOO, in .eluding $48O,OOO for National Guard armory construction at Nome, and Unalakleet Air Force Station, $411,000.
 The Supplemental Appropria- ton Bill as passed by the House includes $20O,000 for the opera tions of the Bureau of Land Management in Alaska to handle the increase in oil and gas leases. The request had amounted to $27O,O00, cut by the Appropria- tions Committee to $2OO,O00. "This amount" the Committee stated, together with proper utilization of available resources, should adequately handle the current backlog of applications. ,

Seat In House Must be Provided For Alaska
BY GEORGE R. BROWN

WASHINGTON,-If Alaska isn't going to arrive in Washington next January-all dressed up and no place to go-Congress will have to act fast before adjourn ment this month to provide a seat in the House of Representa- tives for the baby State.
 Since Alaska, under the Con- stitution, will be entitled to one member in that body, a law will probably have to. be enacted in creasing the membership of the House to 436, now fixed at 435.
 Unless the present law is changed Alaska couldn't get into the House, although her two Senate seats would be assured, every State being entitled to two.
 This little problem, which has generally escaped attention in the rejoicing over Alaskan state hood, perhaps should have been referred for study to the House Committee on Legislative Over sight,"
 The reason why a special law will have to be passed to assure membership for Alaska in the House of Representatives in the 86th Congress to be elected in November, is that the present membership of that body is based on the census of 1850, and there can be no reapportionment even if there were time-unil the census of 1860 has been taken two years hence.
 When the question of reappor- tionment under the 1860 is even tuaIly taken up, there will prob ably be a strong sentiment in the House in favor of increasing the membership of that body, not only to 436 to take care of Alas ka, or even 437 to provide for the eventual admission of Hawaii, but to a considerably larger figure.
 If the membership of the House is retained at the present statua tory figure of 435, the additional seats would have to be provided for at the expense of some of the States that are losing population.
 These are. the States that will favor increasing the total mem bership of the House. No State likes to lose voting strength in the House of Representatives.
 To increase the size of the House above 435 would be a blunder. The House is already too large. As matter of orderly and constructive business the membership actually should be reduced, to not more than 300. That would make it a much more effective law making body.
 The House has grown amazing ly. It started in 1789 with 65, jumped to 1O3 after the census of 1790, went then to 213, in 1870 to 292, to 356 after the census of 1890, to 386 after the census of 1900 and to 435 after the census of 1910.
 This was accomplished by an act of Congress passed on Aug. 8, 1911, fixing the permanent membership of the House at 433, with an additional member each for Arizona and New Mexico when and if they were admitted to the Union.
 This occurred in 1912, when both territories became States, entitled to two Senators, and one member in the House.
 Alaska will be the fifth State of the Union having only one Congressman, the others being Delaware, Nevada, Vermont and Wyoming.

Labor Role

The Senate Republican Pol
Icy Committee contended yes
terday that labor union leaders
practically control the Demo-
cratic Party,
This poses ''the grim prospect
OF a virtual one-party political
system" said a 200-page broad
side prepared BY the commit
tees star for use Of Republican
campaigners.
The committee said the uiti-
mate goal Of union leaders APP
pears mot merely 10 take over
the Democratic Party. but to
eliminate it--along with tina
Republican Party--as q decl-
sive force In American politics."
Dizzy with Success
Saying that "the hold Of the
labor bosses on the Democratic
Party has. for all practical pur-
poses rendered respo nsible
Democratic leadership virtually
impotent." the committee said
union leaders are dizzy with
success" It added that their
plans for the immediate future
are bold and imaginative"
The attack. entitled The
Labor Bosses-America's Third
Party" named the AFL-CTO
Committee on Political Educa-
ton as one Of the most active
groups in this field.
"The finances OF COPE are
supposed to be derived entirely
from voluntary sources" the
committee said. Besides subsi-
dizing q Nationwide propa-
ganda offensive dictated by the
| labor bosses, these funds enable
COPE to operate like a we'll
CREASED political machine in all
directions"
Fancy Bookkeeping"
The O. o. p. Committee.
headed by Senator Bridges of
New Hampshire, said there is
ample evidence the contribu-
tons are not voluntary and
"if they appear to be, it is only
the result Of fancy book
keeping"
The policy committee said
that while COPE sis by far the
most highly organized and most
richly endowed political ma
chine controlled exclusively by
the labor bosses" there are at
least 40 similar but smaller
union political groups.
, The committee suggested that
perhaps regulatory legislation
by Congress is needed to regu-
late COPE.
