Auditor Tells of Warning
Against Payment of
Statehood Committee Bills
JUNEAU, Lfl—Territorial Audi
tor Neil Moore has advised Robert
Atwood of Anchorage, chairman
of the Statehood Committee, that
(he (Moore) had been warned that
court proceedings might be
/ brought against the Auditor’s of
fice to prevent payment of any
expenses of Statehood Committee
members attending a congression
al hearing next week in Washing
ton.
Moore did not disclose from
whom the warning came, but said
it was based on the contention
that such expenditures would be
using public funds for purely po
litical purposes because the com
mitte is composed wholly of state
hood advocates.
The committee was appointed
by Governor Grttening in 194'9
and confirmed by the Legislature
in joint session. It includes mem
bers of both parties. Atwood, An
. chorage publisher, is chairman.
The Legislature appropriated
$80,000 in 1949 for its activities.
It was reported during the 1953
session that $39,000 of the appro
priation remains unexpended.
The 1953 House passed a bill
to create a new statehood com
mittee but it was defeated in
the Senate.

Bridges Asks Substitute
Union Officers In Case
Top Leaders Are Jailed
SAN FANCISCO, UP)—President
Harry Bridge told his Internation
al Longshoremen’s and Ware
housemen’s Union he wants sub
stitute officers ready to step in
if he or other top union leaders
go to prison.
That proposal raised a storm of
protest at the ILWU’s convention
—protests agaipst the union even
considering the possibility of his
not keeping the post he has held
20 years.
Bridges and two aides, J. R.
Robertson and Henry Schmidt,
were convicted three years ago
in federal court of perjury and of
conspiracy to lie. A jury ruled
Bridges had lied in swearing, to
win citizenship, that he never was
a Communist.
Robertson and Schmidt were
convicted of perjury in swearing
to Bridges’ oath. All are free un
der bond pending appeal. Bridges
was sentenced to five years; the
others to two years each.
Bridges suggested the union
name officers pro tern who could
quietly take over if he is sent to
prison.
Seventeen delegates rushed to
the microphone to plead that the
convention stick with Bridges
alone as president.
