Survey Disputes Seen As Delay in Alaska
 State Lands Selection

If the land selection process is not speeded up, it will take over 100 years before the state receives the lands promised it by the Con- gress-lands so important to AL aska's economic development, U. s. Sen. E.. L. Bartlett said in Senate speech last Thursday.
 The state has not been slow in selecting lands - the slow down has come because of disputed sur vey techniques, Bartlett added, and is not the fault of ELM em- ployees.
 Ninety-nine per cent of the land mass of Alaska is now owned by the federal government. Under terms of the Statehood Act, the state is allowed to select 1O3 mil lion acres from the public lands in the first 25 years of statehood.
 So far, only about 3.2 million acres of lands have been selected by the state, surveyed by the Bur eau of Land Management, with ti- tie awarded by the Secretary of the Interior to the state.
 Because of the extent of the area and the wild rugged frontier nature of the land itself, the as- signment of surveying the state selected lands is described as "the biggest and toughest land sur veying job in America
 Survey Lags
 The economic development of Alaska will depend in many ways upon the state making full and proper Use of these lands. For this reason the state is anxious to obtain title to them, Bartlett told Congress. Unfortunately. however, the land selection pro- gram has fallen behind. The sen- ator said the delay may be caused

by disputed survey techniques in the land selection process.
 The senator pointed out that Congress recognized that without adequate surveys the titles would be clouded and the land would lose much of it's value. It is for this reason that provision was made for ELM exterior surveys of all selected lands. The Senate Report 1163, 85th Congress, says "the subsection provides for ex- terior boundary surveys be made by the Secretary of the Interior. This provision is required because a large part of public lands in AL aska has never been surveyed and such surveys are necessary for the use or conveyance of selected lands" The report goes on to emphasize the granted lands cannot be used until surveyed; so without funds for surveys, the land grants would become an idle gesture"
 These grants were not meant to be an idle gesture,' Bartlett told Congress, and yet for the second year in a row ELM has sought, in it's appropriation re- quest, to reduce the amount to be spent for cadastral exterior sur veys. Last year, Congress restor- ed the funds for surveying and Bartlett said he was hopeful that it will do so again this year.
 In explaining the reduced re- quest, Karl Landstrom, ELM di- rector, stated that there are two features that will slow down, per haps temporarily. this program =. and in view of that possibility. this amount is adequate at this time"
 One of the factors mentioned

"The Male Animal" was CO., authored by the late James Thur Der, one of the best-known Amer ican humorists, and Elliot Nu- gent. It is being presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. Mrs. Thurber has given the Homer Little Theatre permission to use some of the or iginal Thurber cartoons for ad- vertising purposes.
 Interest in the Homer Little Theatre has been steadily increas- ing, says Mrs. Betty A. Stokes, publicity chairman.

Revolving Loan
 Fund Slighted In Annual Budget

The administrative portion of the Division of Agriculture's budget was treated quite well in the state budget completed by the Alaska Legislature in it's 1863 session, according to Sigmund H. Restad, director of agreulture.
 The Agriculture Revolving Loan Fund, however, did not fare so well.
 The Agriculture Revolving Loan Fund wound up without any additional appropriation for the first time since the Legislature created it in 1853.
 As of December 31, 1862, the Loan Funds assets were $1,124,- 594 This is a revolving fund, so there will only be limited amount of loan monies available during the coming fiscal year, the director said.
 by Landstrom is the dispute as to the size and the shape of the areas being selected and surveyed Boundary Disjute
 The Secretary of the Interior has said "The law provides that all selections shall be made in conformity with such regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may prescribe taking into account the situation and potential uses of the land involved :. ="
 The affect of this interpreta- tion has been that the Department of the Interior claims a right of veto over the size and shape of state selections and the right to determine what size tracts shall be given the benefit of exterior surveys, Bartlett explained.
 According to the Statehood Act, he pointed out, the matter of sur veying is discussed at the end of Section 6-"Where any lands de- sired by the state are unsurveyed at the time of their selection, the Secretary of the Interior shall survey the exterior boundaries of the area requested without any interior subdivision thereof and shall issue a patent for such se- lected area in terms of the exter- for boundary survey
 Bartlett stressed that the law makes it clear that the Secretary of the Interior "shall survey the exterior boundaries of the area requested by the state" and does not mean that the Secretary may decide which lands are or are not selectable.
 If the State of Alaska were to accede to the position taken by the Secretary, the State would lose authority over it's own land selections. The Secretary would be in a position to determine whether the state selections are acceptable to him, the state would have to show him what it intends to do with the land ,. he would decide when and in what size ex- terior surveys should be made, without regard to the size of the tracts the state had selected"
 Bartlett concluded his speech to

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 26
(AP) Oklahoma Republicans
avoided a threatened party
split today by deciding to
pledge their % delegates to
support Arizona Senator Barry
Goldwater for the G. o. P.
presidential nomination at next
years convention.
In separate but simultaneous
actions, the State party's exc

adopted identical resolutions
pledging that the d elegates S
shall vote for and support"
the Arizona Senator.
An hour later, the 200-mem-
Der State committee added its
unanimous approval in a roar
ing voice vote.
Gov. Henry Bellmon, ending
his previously firm stand
against binding the State dele
cation to Senator Goldwater,
added his &c omplete agree
ment."
Gov. Bellmon, although on
record as a Goldwater support
er, had resisted previous efforts
of some segments of the party
to instruct the Oklahoma dele
cation to vote for Senator
Goldwater.
Republicans said privately
today that the Governor agreed
