Eisenhower Recommends Easing of
Immigration Restrictions for Alaska
By WILLIAM J. TOBIN
JUNEAU, LI"—The first move
for financing the Alaska-Tennes
see Plan trio in Washington, D.C.,
was made in the territorial House
Wednesday.
A bill to appropriate $187,935
for the Alaska Statehood Com
mittee was introduced by the
Legislative Council.
It specifies $54,000 for salaries
for members of the statehood del
egation to Congress for the two
year period for which appropria
tions cover.
It includes another $43,800 for
living allowances as per diem ex
pense. On a two-year basis, that
figures out to salaries of $9,000
a year apiece, plus $7,300 a year
living allowances.
The rest of the appropriation to
the statehood committee includes
these other allowances for the
King Saud Visits
Nation’s Capital,
Gets Look at Snow
WASHINGTON, UR—King Saud
of Saudi Arabia placed a wreath
today at the Tomb of the Un
known Soldier and saw some un
accustomed snow.
The 55-year-old monarch held
his brown cloax about him in the
chill morning air a^ he went thru
the traditional ceremony at Ar
lington National Cemetery.
After the 10-minute ceremony,
as Saud led his entourage toward j
waiting automobiles, an aide
reached out and touched snow
clustered on the shrubbery. It had
fallen in the night to blanket the
rolling hills of the cemetery.
The aide, one of nine along in '
British-type uniforms, hefted the
snow, fingered it, and let it fall, j
An American soldier, among j
the honor guard turned out to j
help in the rites, commented in an
aside: “I guess they don’t see
much snow in the Arabian des
ert.”
Fourteen others in Saud’s party .
were outfitted like their king, in
cloaks, called “abayas,” and head
scarves, called “kaffiyahs,” of
their homeland. Four of them
worse gold-sheathed knives and'
daggers.
A welcoming U.S. official told
the king it would be nice to be
able to export “all this water”—
referring to the melting snow—to
parched Saudi Arabia.
The King replied, smilingly,
thru an interpreter, “We sure
could use it.”
Soviets Accuse West
Of Evading Solution
To World Disarmament
MOSCOW, UR—The Soviet gov
ernment today accused the West
ern powers of deliberately evad
ing a solution for the problem of
world disarmament.
It charged, in a statement dis
tributed by Tass, that the U.S. is
‘“speedihg up preparations” for a
new atomic war—an obvious ref
erence to American plans to es
tablish foreign support com
mands.
The statement said the United
States used not only evasion but
delaying tactics within he United
Nations o avoid a solution on
the disarmament problem.
The Foreign Ministry spokes
man who announced the offioal
statement, said that despite what
he called Western provocations
the Soviet Union “is and will con
tinue its efforts toward solving
the problem.”
Tennessee Plan delegation: $28,
000 for scretarial salaries; $18,000
for travel expenses, and $20,500
for “miscellaneous.”
The House also passed a bill to
appropriate $135,100 for expenses
of the legislature, a cut of $16,000
from the 1955 session.
Another major bill from the
council proposes creation of a
merit system in territorial gov
ernment employment. It would
create a three-man merit system
commission to replace the exist
ing Merit System Council. The
latter was set up eight years ago
to supervise personnel adminis
tration.'
The bill for the new body pro
vides for broad powers for the
commission and its executive di
rector. It calls for “equal pay for
equal work.” It would give the
commission the power to set sal
ary levels for territorial employes
falling under the act.
Such jobs would be filled by
competitive examinations and
promotions would be on a com
petitive basis.
The Legislative Counqil also
introduced the first bill for the
territory’s new mental health
program. It would prescribe pro
cedures for commitments.
Butrovich Lends Art
By Ala?kan Painter
To Hang in Senate
JUNEAU, l/P>—A marine paint
ing by Alaska artist Sydney Laur
rence is hanging in the territorial
Senate chambers.
Sen. John Butrovich—a collec
tor of Alaska art work—called
the attention of the Senate to the
painting. He said it had been
hung behind the President’s desk
“for the pleasure and inspiration
of all of us.”
Senate President Victor Rivers
of Anchorage asked Butrovich, I
“To whom do we owe thanks
for this magnificent gesture?”
Replied Butrovich: “Let’s just
say it was a temporary donation.”
He later said he purchased two
Laurence painting in Juneau
this week, and decided to hang
one in the Senate until the 23rd
Legislature ends the latter part
of March.
Bartlett Asks Pay
Rate Raise for
Federal Workers
WASHINGTON, (JV-Delegate
Bartlett yesterday asked Congress
to remove the 25 percent ceiling
on cost-of-living allowance paid
government employes in Alaska.
He said the purpose of his bill
is to bring the living cost differ
ential in line with actual differ
ences existing between Alaskan
cities and the nation’s capital.
A 1956 cost-of-living survey
made by the Civil Service Com
mission, he said, showed living
costs in Anchorage to be 48.6 per
cent higher than in Washington,
D.C. Costs in Fairbanks were 55.9
percent higher and those in Ju
neau 35.1 percent.
He also introduced bills which
would require the government to
pay moving expense for federal
employes and their families hired
in Alaska for work elsewhere in
the territory, and would permit
resident federal employes in
Alaska to accumulate 45 days an
nual leave as is now permitted
for federal employes in the ter
ritory who reside in the States.
