neau argued against the bill, con
tending the territory cannot ac
commodate tourists who come
north now and the appropriation
is premature.
Rep. William Boardman of
Ketchikan responded that the ap
propriation is “an investment
proposition” and southeastern re
sorts can accommodate many
more tourists than they are get
ting.
Bert Rutherford of Anchorage
argued that private capital will
build accommodations if the tour
ist demand develops.
Employment Security Commission
Bill Designed to Eliminate
Chairman Ralph Rivers
In the Senate, Rutherford was
called as a witness on the Em
ployment Security Commission
bills. He acknowledged in ques
tioning that the bills are designed
to eliminate one man — Mayor
Ralph Rivers of Fairbanks, com
mission chairman and the lone
remaining former member. Rivers
is the former Democratic attorney
general.
Asked if Rivers had been re*
quested to resign, Rutherford said
“Yes, by Miscovitch, and he re
fused.”
Miscovich said later he had not
actually asked Rivers to resign;
that he had talrfed to Rivers out
side the legislative chambers and
Rivers said something to the ef
fect:
“If you are going to ask me to
resign, I will not do so.”
Rutherford said the House La
bor and Management Committee
felt justified in seeking a new
commission because the men who
had been serving on it allowed a
depletion of the unemployment
compensation fund through big
payments to laborers. He said the
laborers make big construction
wages in Alaska, then go outside
to draw benefits on what he called
“winter vacation.”
Rutherford said the fund is in
need of conservative direction.

AVA Invites President
Eisenhower To Spend
His Vacation In Alaska
JUNEAU — The Alaska Visit
ors Association in a letter to the
White House has invited Presi
dent Eisenhower and his family
to vacation in Alaska this sum
mer.
The Association is asking that
all Alaskans back up the invita
tion to the President with their
own letters to the White House.
“We know that the President
likes golf and fishing. While our
golf courses in Anchorage and
Fairbanks may not be quite as
deluxe as the, Washington, D.C.
and Augusta, Ga., links, they
offer a real challenge to the play
er’s skill,” an Association spokes
man said, “and we’ll stand sec
ond best to no one on the sport
fishing.”
“The President will probably
be looking for a quiet spot to re
lax about next summer,” the
spokesman continued, “and there
is nothing more relaxing than a
few days spent on an Alaska trout
stream.”
The letter also pointed out to
the Chief Executive that in Alas
ka the whole outdoors is air-con- !
ditioned and offered o*ur special !
brand of hospitality, Alaskan
style.

Moose Makes Nuisance of
Himself Just 8 Blocks from
Anchorage’s Main Street
ANCHORAGE, UR — George
Cook, whose home is eight blacks
from Anchorage’s main street,
finally resorted to fire to chase
a moose out of his back yard
early Tuesday morning.
The animal was annoying
Cook’s dogs, whose wails and as
sorted yells failed to move the
stubborn animal.
A BB gun made the moose sore
and he chased Cook into a side j
door.
Cook slipped out another door /
and lit a big fire in an oil drum.
That did it. The moose left and
the neighborhood quieted down.
