Busy Day For Introducing Bills Sees
One For Raising Teachers’ Salaries
By JIM HUTCHESON <
JUNEAU UP)—Twenty-one bills,
■plus a few memorials and resolu
tions, w'ere introduced in the leg
islature Wednesday in what was
probably the busiest bill birthday
of the session’s first 31 days.
One of them was the second
teachers’ pay increase bill of the
session. It proposes a greater in
crease than the earlier one. Rep.
Stanley McCutcheon (D-Anchor
age> introduced it at the request
of the Territorial Teachers’ Or
ganization.
It proposes the top level of
teachers’ salaries should be upped
$2,100 a year in each of Alaska’s
four divisions. It also would di
vide the Third Division into two
parts, putting part of it into the
same class with the higher paid
Second and Fourth Divisions.
The line would run past the tip
of the Kenai Peninsula and up the
west side o$ Cook inlet on the
152nd Meridian. The area to the
east would have an $8,040 ceiling
and the area to the west would
have the $8,300 ceiling of the Sec
ond and Fourth Divisions.
Other new bills include the fol
lowing:

district approve at an election
called by the school board.

Pulp Officials Ask
Senate Not to
Rock the Boat
JUNEAU, UP*—Two pulp com
pany officials, speaking for the
new Ketchikan plant, appealed to
the Senate Wednesday not to rock
their economic boat by increasing
territorial costs for employment
security to industrial insurance
for workers.
Bills to do both are before the
legislators.
The pulp industry representa
tives were Robert H. Exans, vice
president of Ketchikan Pulp and
chairman of the board of the
parent Puget Sound Pulp and
Timber Co. of Bellingham, and
Hairy Binzer of Bellingham, Pu
get Sound secretary and former
Republican leader in the Wash
ington State Senate.
Evans described the Ketchikan
venture as “a guinea pig” opera
tion which all the industry is
watching, and which holds a pre
carious economic balance in a
highly competitive world market.
He declared the industrial in
surance costs at Ketchikan are
already three times what similar
workmen’s compensation would
cost in the State of Washington,
while the mill’s products must ,
compete against stateside prod
ucts.
He said it would take several
years more “to know how we will
fare” at the plant which he said
represents a 59 million dollar in
vestment—far above original ex
pectations.
Another witness at the hearing
was A1 Seliger, personnel director
for the U.S. Smelting and Refin
ing Co., which operates at Fair
banks and Nome. He described
mining as an ailing industry and
in discussing proposed increases
in employment security payments,
he said any added costs will re
quire the company to pass over
marginal properties, which would
otherwise be worked, and the net
result might be a shortened oper
ational life for the firm’s Alaska
operations.
LARRY FAGAN VACATIONS
Larry Fagan of the Bering Sea
Club left yesterday on a month’s
vacation. He plans to visit in Salt
Lake City where his father oper
ates several restaurants. He also
hopes to include sunny California
in his itinerary.
