Sidelights On
The Legislature
Flora Woodworth, added to the
Territorial Senate staff this week
as a Judiciary Committee aide,
held a similar position with an
other Territorial L gLslnturt
some years ago. She was Clerk
of the Senate Judeiary Commit
tee for the Hawaii Legislature in
Honolulu.
Mrs. Crystal Snow Jenne of
Juneau was introduced as “P t
of the House,” and Rep. William
Egan of Valdez as "Baby of the
House” when Speaker H. H. Mc
Cutcheon presented the verious
members at a Juneau Chamber
of Commerce luncheon. Only two
legislators passed up the Cham
ber date. They were Senator Ed
ward Coffey of Anchorage and
Rep. W. Leonard Smith of Nome.
Members have a standing invit
a horn from the Juneau Chamber
of Commerce, extended by Curtis
Shattuok to attend Thursday
luncheon meetings for free meals
as long as they are in Juneau.
Even Augusta Strig.ga, House
Sergeant-at-Arms, who at.ended
was included in this invitation.
Senator C. H. (Alabsm) LaBoy
teaux, who didn’t wear a necktie
to the Governor's reception did
n’t wear one to the Chamber
luncheon either.
In marked contrast to their
reception two years ago, defic
iencies have been allowed by th
Legislature without a voice or a
vote being raised against them.
Today in the Senate, when the
$81,500 deficiency bill was passed
unanimously, “Watchdog of the
Treasury,” Senator O. D. Coch
ran of Nome was the only mem
ber with anything to say, and his
statement was: “I hate deficien
cies but I don’t see any out on
these.”
One man’s opinion of Matan
-uskia—Senator Edward Coffey, in
his Senate Joint Memorial No. 2.
introduced: “This farm colony
has proved a success and is a
credit to Alaska and evidences
■the wisdom of Congress.”
I
Whether the Third Division
Court headquarters are mov^d
P'-rmanent'y from Valdez to An
chorage was termed “immater
ial” by Rep. Aimer J- Peterson
of Anchorage. He was arguing in
favor of Rep. William Egan’s
memorial for erection of a Fed
eral Building at Va'dez, saying a
building will be needed there
whether or not the Court has it
as i s headquarters.
Rep. Howard Lyng of Nome
and Rep. William Egan of Va'dez
targl d in debate over whether a
sentence reading “safe storage
space for vital supplies is abso
lutely, none” was gramatically
correct. Egan, who recently mar
ried a school-teacher, contend
ed th grammar of the sentence
was all right.
Lyng said “Lacking” should be
substituted for “none.” Rep.
Frank Gordon said both might be
gran.atica.ly correct, but he liked
“la king.” 6ep. Allefi Shattuck
sa.dthe same. A 1 amendment by
Lyr.g substituting “lacking” pass
ed 13 to 5 after an amendm nt
to the amendment in which Rep.
James V. Davis wanted to insert
a “there"’ into the sentence, was
defeat-d. It to 7.
Rep. Harvey Smith’s House
Bid No. 15, providing for issu
ance of delayed birth certificat
es, would make it easier for Al
askans to get certificates. Tiie bill
would have th. effect of exlend
. ,g from 10 days to a year tin
p riud in which the Registrar of
Vital Statistics could record new
b:r:l.o, and would al ow issuance,
of delayed birth certificates upon
a snowing by affiavit.

Dept. Of Labor
Bill Introduced
By Sen. Walker
A bill for establishment of a

was introduced in the Territorial

would be $5,000 per year. The
Commissioner would have to be

Compensation.
The Senate passed a commit
tee substitute for Senator Don
Carlos Brownell’s memorial urg
ing Pr sident Roosevelt to accept
the resignation of Secretary of
the Interior Harold L. Ickes. Re
written, but with most of the
sting left in it, the memorial
asks that Ickes’ successor be one
“who will have a sympa'ih-tic
and understanding veiwpoint to
ward Alaska, its problems and its
fu'ure" (the original memorial
said “who will not develop a die
tator complex”). Only Senator
Walker voted against the mem
orial.
