MEMBERS OF PLANNING
BOARD TALK PLAIN
JUNEAU — Federal govern
ment dominion in Alaska was at
tacked by two Alaska Planning
Council speakers In addresses be
fore the Chamber of Commence
here, Luther Hess, of Fairbanks
said:
“One of the Council’s major
problems is to trive toward de
velopment of the Teritory on her
own right and to keep away from
too much federal government
dominionfl There is a tendency
to lean too strongly on federal
agencies and to bring this Coun
cil under the influence of the
federal government.’’
Federal Judge George Alex
ander said: “Ninety per cent of
the land in the Territory is under
federal control. It appears to me
one of the big jobs of the Alaska
Planning Council is to get the
government to unibutton some of
this control.’’
Luck: “Was Harry cast down
after he spoke to your father?"
Nora: “Yes; three flight of
