Dawson Criticised
For Turning Down
Postmaster Job

Washington CANP) - Wide
spread criticism was being ex-
pressed this week Of Rep. William
L. Dawson for turning down the
chance to become the first Negro
to serve in q federal cabinet.
President-eIect John Kennedy an
nounced late last week that he
had offered the postmastership to
Dawson and that the veteran Hin
OILS congressman had declined.
Dawson told Kennedy he felt he
could be Of more service to the
country, his party, the state by
retaining his seat in Congress.
Kennedy's announcement Of
Dawson's refusal to accept the
job was interpreted here as mean
ing that he had recognized an OBJ
legation to the Negro voter by
making the offer to Dawson and
that his next choice for the post
would not be a Negro.
1t was on the grounds that Daw-
son muffed an opportunity to ele-
vate the status of the Negro in the
federal government by declining
the nomination that he was being
criticized in many quarters this
week.
An NAACP official who didn't
wish to be identified pointed out
that by accepting the job, Dawson
might have established a precedent
that would have been FOLLOWED by
succeeding administrations.
He also declared that Dawson
also missed a greater opportunity
to be Of service to his nation In
turning down the JOB.
Had he accepted, the status Of
America itself would have been
elevated in the eyes of the African
Asian nations.
Dawson's acceptance could have
also provided the nation with a
positive story that could not have
been offset or matched by Russia.
Until Kennedy walked out the
front door Of his house and made
his statement, the Chicago con-
gresham had stoutly denied talk
ing to the President-elect about
the Cabinet appointment.
Only a few days before he told
a reporter that he hadn't talked
to Kennedy at all for a week or
80, had no date to confer with
him, and as for taking a Cabinet
post If offered, had this to say:
I've never turned down one be-
fore it was offered"
During the weeks when Dawson
was thought to be a leader in Ken
nedy's consideration for the post,
his age was mentioned sometimes
as a possible drawback.
But there was no mention Of
that factor in Kennedy's doorstep
Dawson Is chairman Of the
House Government o operations
Committee, which has fostered a
Of news-malCing investiga-
lions through subcommittee,
some Of them headed by white
Southern congressman with whom
Dawson has maintained amicable
relations.

FAIRBANKS, R - The State Division of Tourism has failed in it's task of promoting Alaska's tourist industry, C.M. Jim) Blink ley, longtime tour operator, charged here yesterday.
 Alaska tourist trade this past summer was down substantially from the 1859 level, Binkley stated
 "A primary reason for this decrease was the failure of the state administration to recognize the importance of the tourist busi- ness to each and every Alaskan" " Binkley said.
 "Two things happened. The Legislature failed to provide suf- ficient funds to promote the trade. Secondly, the Governor failed to provide a competent person to administer the meager funds that were available" he said.
 In Juneau, both Gov. Egan and Lee A. Johnson, chief of the State Division of Tourism and Ec- onomic Development, declined comment on Binkley's statement at this time.
 Binkley said most of Alaska s travel leaders were convinced the present director of the Division of Tourism is not qualified for this post.

 Mrs. Kelliher has just returned from a tour of on-base schools, taking in Eielson, Ladd, Richard son, Elmendorf and Kodiak. She also visited state schools at Ko- diak, Anchorage and North Pole. While at Elmendorf she had the pleasure of visiting with Wm. An gell, who is superintendent of a junior high school on the base and she found him very well satisfied with his work.
 All over the state she found the same problem as confrontS Nome: more space needed to house the fast growing school population.

FAIRBANKS TOUR OPERATOR CHARGES
 STATE TOURISM DIVISION IS FAIL LURE

There is every evidence that the S50,000 available in 1859 for tourist promotion was spent large ly on administrative costs to run the division. This year 5000 is available, but nothing has been done by the Division of Tourism to date" Binkley said.
 "So far as state promotion is concerned, there is no reason to believe that efforts this year will be any more effective than they were last year." Binkley said,
 Binkley said Governor Egan has been repeatedly requested to create an advisory board com posed of people in the tourist in- dustry to assist in planning pro- motion work. The governor has ignored these requests, Binkley stated.
 "Alaska should adopt HaWaii's highly successful system, Blink ley said. "Under this plan, an organization of people interested in tourism contribute to general fund. The state matches this fund, and the money is administered by a board named by the contribu- tors. The state maintains control over the money while utilizing the talents of experienced travel op- orators"
