Private Interests
Must Develop
Alaska Power
ANCHORAGE, OW—The federal
government should be asked ta
make power surveys “only as a
last resort,” says Secretary of the
Interior McKay.
McKay told the chamber of
commerce Monday that unless lo
cal interests work on the problem
“you will always have power
shortages.”
“It is up to you to interest pri
vate firms and other private agen
cies to start these surveys,” he
said.
The secretary promised govern
ment help but said his department
believes that “you, locally, should
develop power,” calling on the
government “only as a last re
sort.”
McKay, who is making his first
official inspection of Alaska, flew
to Valdez and Cordova Monday.
McKay is only the second secre
tary of the interior ever to have
visited the Valdez area.
The Anchorage Chamber of
Commerce asked the assistance of
the Interior Department on mat
ters relating to petroleum discov
eries in the territory, the proposed
Methodist liberal arts college, and
the need for a General Services
Administration office here.
John Croul, secretary of the
Alaska chamber, told McKay the
“statehood bill was most generous
in its provision for a new state of
Alaska” and urged McKay to use
his utmost influence in having
President Eisenhower act favor
ably on the combined Alaska
Hawaii statehood bill at the earli
est possible date.
McKay also asked the chamber
to take immediate steps to allevi
ate whatever hardships to the
territory’s tourist business would
result from an announcement by
the Alaska Steamship Co. in Seat
tle that it was going to discontinue
operation of passenger ships from
the States to Alaska.
Brad Phillips, chairman of the
Anchorage chamber’s tourist and
convention committee, appealed to
McKay to “Please help us. We
need help and we need it immedi
ately.”
Pointing out that the tourist
business is Alaska’s third-largest
money-maker, Phillips said “This
will set us back 20 years. Ninety
percent of our tourists travel by
boat, either both ways or at least
one way.”

Vote Denies Retirement
Pay to Federal Workers
Convicted of Perjury
WASHINGTON, W)—The House
Civil Service Committee Tuesday
voted unanimously to deny gov
ernment retirement pay to any
federal employe or member of
Congress convicted of lying about
Communist associations or engag
ing in subversive or felonious ac
tivities.
It would strip retirement bene
fits from Alger Hiss or others who,
like him, would be entitled to
government annuities upon reach
ing retirement age.
The measure, which now goes
to the House, is far broader than
original proposals aimed princip
ally at Hiss, a former State De
partment official who was con
victed of lying about associations
with a Communist espionage ring
and now is serving a penitentiary
term at Lewisburg, Pa.

grow to a length of four feet.
Senate Group Approves
Bill to Give Peacetime
Spies Death Sentence
WASHINGTON, UP)—The Sen
ate Judiciary Committee has ap
proved two measures aimed at
tightening espionage and sabotage
laws and the House has passed
another designed to' harass Amer
ican Communists.
The Senate group Monday ap
proved House-passed legislation
that would:
1. Make peacetime spying pun
ishable by death.
2. .Require all persons trained
by foreign powers in espionage or
sabotage to register with the at
torney general. This would in
clude foreign diplomats.
It also approved a bill that
would authorize the President to
bar any potential subversive from
defense plants in wartime or if
war were threatened. A similar
bill was pigeonholed by the House
Judiciary Committee last week
after labor groups protested.
