TRANSMITTING OF BILLS CAUSES PARTISAN FUSS
 IN ALASKA STATE HOUSE

JUNEAU R - 4 resolution ex- tending the time in which bills may be transmitted between the two chambers of the legislature passed the House unanimously Sat- urday.
 The measure touched off a fuss Friday when House Republicans re- fused to go along with suspension of rules which would have permit ted it's consideration then.
 Saturday, however, min ority y party members went along after issuing statement in reply to a rebuke by the Democratic leader ship which termed the COP action a "stalling tactic.''
 The statement, issued by minor ity leader Bruce Kendall. R- Anch), said the Republicans shad serious reservations as to the ability and sincerity of the Democratic majority to bring this session to a close, based on their performance to date.
 With a numerical control in both Houses and majority and chair manship control of all committees, It is absolutely fantastic that any, one except the Democrat majority can be responsible for the failure to consider worthwhile bills," the COP statement said.

 The resolution, SCR33, permits transmission of bills between chambers through the roth day.
 The House also concurred, over the protests of the Republicans, to Senate amendment to a bill, HB477, which would provide funds for legislative expenses through the 80th day.

H.C. Little ConsuItant Lists Alaska's Likely Investment Opportunities

JUNEAU R = The Arthur D Little Co. advised the State of five "most likely investment opportuni- ties in developing known mineral deposits in Alaska"
 The economic consultant firm said in report on Alaska's mineral re- sources, however, that there is no way to predict the speed with which the five projects might proceed.
 The five prospects listed by the firm were:
 The titaniferous low-grade iron deposits at Klukwan, Port Snetti- sham and Union Bay.
 The 1ow-grade copper in the Ko- bulk region, if current exploration activities show commercially ex- ploitable ore.
 The low grade copper at Sum- dunn, if subsequent exploration shows sufficient grade and re- serves.
 The Southeastern Alaska copper iron deposits.
 The Kuskokwim River mercury deposits.
 If deposits are discovered that are directly competitive in Alaska's potential marketing area, then Alaskan development might be de- layed or abandoned" the report said. ''On the other hand, world political events may indicate the desirability of developing raw ma- terial sources in one of the 50 United States, and this might per init the development of an Alaskan resource at an accelerated rate"
 The report said Alaska has has many minerals, but their use and the development of associated industrial establishments, depend upon the ability to mine, process and transport the mineral concen- trate or mtetal to the market place at price that is competitive and that permits reasonable return on invested capital
 i. The known metallic de- posits in Alaska tend to be either sizeable low grade or small high grade ones. Alaska's ability to be- come major factor in the mineral industry in the future, depends upon the location of deposits that are higher grade and/or bigger than those now known" 8uBScRTRE TO THE MrYcGEr

Sponsors of
 Capital Relocation Initiative File Suit

JUNEAU R = Sponsors of the capital relocation initiative filed suit Thursday to block efforts to keep the measure off the primary election ballot Aug. IA. Dr. Clarence Bailey of Palmer and Dr. Merritt Starr of Anchor age. two of the principal sponsors of the initiative, asked permission to intervene and First District Su- perior Court to dismiss a suit filed by the cities of Juneau Douglas and B individuals.
 The capital relocation initiative asks that the capital be moved from Juneau to a point west of Yakutat, but not within 30 miles of Anchorage.
 The Juneau-D Douglas suit, filed Feb. 13, asks that Secretary of State Hugh Wade be enjoined now, and in the future, from placing a capital relocation initiative on the ballot.
 The suit contends that the in- itiative petition seeks, unconstitu- tionally, to change clause in the transitional articles of the State Constitution designating Juneau as the capital of Alaska.
 Tn it's arguments for the enjoiner, the Juneau-D Douglas suit said the threat of capital relocation action through illegal means = the initia- tive will cause irreparable harm to the Juneau-Dogulas area. It also noted that similar capital relocation initiative was defeated in 1860 by a vote of 23,972 to 18,865.
 In a memorandum accompanying the motion to intervene, attorneys for Bailey and Starr said they had been advised by Atty. Gen. Ralph Moody and the State Attorney Gen. erals Office, acting as counsel for Wade, twill not argue or contest
 the question of constitutionality" In memorandum accompanying
 the motion for dismissal, Bailey
 and Starr said the single question
 before the court is:
 Gan the judicial branch of gov
 ernment of the State of Alaska en-
 join the submission to the elector. ate of Alaska of an initiative tc
 change the location of the capital
 of the State of Alaska on the
 grounds that the initiative would
 be unconstitutional"
 It said questions of constitution ality must be considered only after the issue has been decided. z. Any earlier consideration or interference by the courts would in itself be violation of what is perhaps the most basic constitutions al provision of ali the Separa- tion of powers of government" The suit said that almost all of the 25 sections contained in the transitional article have expired or become moot.
 "This is because the transitional period has ended" the Bailey Starr action said. By the same token, it would seem that the necessity for keeping the capital at Juneau dur ing the early transitional period has likewise expired"
 If the court grants the Juneau Douglas request, Bailey and Starr
 said, not only would the granting
 of an injunction be direct in-
 fringement of the legislative process
 by the judiciary, but it would also
 be an unwarranted and wholly un-
 democratic control of the people
 in the State of Alaska by the ju-
 diclal branch of our government. "
