GAMBELL NEWS
By CLARENCE IRRIGOO
May. 1953
Dead whale came drifting by
late afternoon May 20th and was
towed in the next morning.
The dead animal was intact, ex
cept for that part exposed to gulls
and moving ice.
The dead whale is believed to
be the victim of those Siberian
Eskimo hunters. The harpo'on had
pulled loose, possibly while run
ning away for dear life. Piece of
exploded projectile was also
found.

On May 21 a seven-pound baby
boy was born to Mr. and Mrs

is the second baby born the same
time a whale is pulled in this
spring.

On May 23, Willard Kaningok

cub. Several teams started out
and returned with a news that it
was a log on the ground.

Washington News-Letter
By Mary Lee Council
Secretary to E. L. Bartlett,
Delegate to Congress from Alaska
ELECTIVE GOVERNOR
The Department of the Interior
favors enactment of an elective
governor and an elective lieuten
ant governor of Alaska “if enabl
ing legislation for statehood is not
enacted by the Congress.”
The views of the department
were expressed in a letter to
Chairman Miller of the House In
terior and Insular Affairs Com
mittee in a report by Assistant
Secretary Orme Lewis on Dele
gate Bartlett’s bill calling for an
election in 1954.
IMMIGRATION ACT
All members of the Washington
State delegation, two senators and
seven representatives, have joined
Delegate Bartlett in calling upon
the chairmen of the House and
Senate Judiciary Committees for
early hearings on legislation to
repeal that section of the Immi
gration and Nationality Act re
quiring the screening of aliens
arriving from Alaska.
The hearings sought to be held
would apply to identical measures
introduced in the Senate by Sen
ator Jackson of Washington and
in the House by Delegate Bartlett.
Last year in passing the Immi
gration and Nationality Act, the
Congress applied to Alaska the
requirement that aliens who en
tered the States from the territory
be screened, which in effect has
led to the screening of all persons
entering from Alaska.
In further representations made
on the subject last week, Delegate
Bartlett repeated the desirability
of having hearings in writing to
Senator Watkins, chairman of the
recently-created Joint Committee
on Immigration and Nationality
Policy.
“Why this barrier was set up
against Alaskans,” Delegate Bart
lett declared, “we have never
known. There were reports that it
was rumored that Russians are
crossing over to Alaska from Si
beria for espionage purposes, and,
therefore, it was necessary to set
up this device in order to prevent
their entrance ipto the United
States proper. It would be the
simplest thing in the world to
demonstrate that rumors of such
migration from Asia to North Am
erica via Alaska on the part of the
Russians are preposterous.
“What this does is to differen
tiate Alaskans from other Ameri
can citizens for no especial and
useful purpose. I submit that
there is no'more reason for such
a screening as concerns Alaska
than there would be to check ev
ery person crossing from the
Washington State border to Ore
gon, or vice versa.”
