Souvenir Hunters
Hamper Probe
Of Plane Crash
SEATTLE, OP)—A Civil Aero
nautics Board examiner was told
Monday souvenir hunters ham
pered the investigation of a fatal
Alaska Airlines airliner crash on
the Olympic Peninsula in March.
Five persons, including the pi
lot, Capt. Larry Currie, a veteran
airlines flier, died when the plane
veered from its course and plowed
into a mountain 30 miles south of
Port Angeles.
Dessell G. Erickson, flight sps
cialist for the CAB’s Bureau of
Safety, testifed souvenir hunters
stripped the plane of its instru
ments hours after the crash. The
CAB had to appeal by radio for
return of the instruments for ex
amination.
Erickson testified that the plane
clipped the tops of trees for more
than 650 feet before it hit the
mountain. He read a, statement by
a witness who estimated the plane
was flying at a 3,000-foot level.
A check of the log, however,
showed Currie reported his eleva
tion at 1,500 feet, indicating a
possibly faulty altimeter, Erick
son said.

Taxation Without
Representation
Discussed At
Chamber Meeting
By RUTH McLEAN
At the weekly meeting of the
N.W.A. Chamber of Commerce,
Larry Galvin introduced a dis
cussion of the complaint that the
federal government is taxing Al
askans without representation.
A letter to the Internal Reve
nue Dept, toy Rev. Middaugh of
Moose Pass, Alaska, was read,
in which he withheld twenty-five
per cent of his federal income tax.
Rev. Middaugh questioned the
moral and legal right of the gov
ernment to tax residents of the
territory and he also asked why
some government employees are
allowed a tax-free cost-of-living
differential and other residents
are not.
It was pointed out that if each
taxpayer in Nome had a twenty
five per cent cost-of-living allow
ance, he would have from $300
to $500 more to spend in the
community.
Judge Hodge said that it would
1 take an act of Congress for the
i individual employer to give his
1 employees a cost-of-living allow
1 ance, exempt from taxation.
Mr. Galvin was asked to write
to Delegate Bartlett concerning
the status of a measure which
Bartlett once proposed to intro
duce in Congress to exempt Al
’ aska residents from taxation by
’ the federal government as long
as Alaska remains a territory
1 without representation in Con
gress.
Daniel M. Burlison, production
specialist for the Indian Arts and
Crafts Board, was a guest of the
Chamber. ,He outlined the efforts
being made by his department to
create an industry in the Eskimo
arts and cratfs. He cited the jade
cutting at Noorvik and Shungnak
and also said that a small shop
is now doing experimental work
here in Nome.
Ronald Senungetuk, a.lso a
guest, described the caribou hoof
jewelry made in Kivalina which
is being favorably received in
Kotzebue for sale to visitors.
