Move by Democrats to Strip Governor
Of Control of Employment Commission
JUNEAU, UP*—The Democratic
majority of the 23rd Alaska Leg
islature moved yesterday to
create a new Territorial employ
ment security commission and to
strip the Governor of any say
about its makeup.
The move came as the Demo
cratic-controlled Legislature and
Acting Gov. Waino Hendrickson
continued at loggerheads over the
appointment of a labor represen
tative to the present five-man
Commission.
Hendrickson last week nomi
nated Clarence C. Crane, a Ketch
ikan pulp mill worker, to replace
Robert Dixon of Fairbanks, labor
member endorsed: toy* the Alaska
Federation of Labor whose term
expired Feto. 1.
The Legislature rejected Crane,
and the Federation later repeated
its endrosement of Dixon, but
Hendrickson refused to change
his stand, saying he would ap
point only a labor member from
the pulpmill, fishing or timber in
dustries of southeastern Alaska.
The move to strip the Gover
nor of powers to appoint to the
Six Bills Passed by
House Go to Senate
The House passed six bills Fri
day and sent them to the Senate.
But the majbr piece of legisla
tion concerns a limitation of trav
el for Territorial;- officials. The
bill passed the House by a 20-to
2 vote—with the opposition votes
coming from Frank Johnson (R
Kake) and Clinton Gray (R
Nbme).
The travel section of the bill
was amended at the suggestion of
Nome Democrat James A. von der
Heydt. Among other changes he
proposed—and which the House
adopted—was one which would
permit boards and commissions
delegate to heads of agencies au
thority over travel for Territorial
employes.
Among other bills passed by
the. House was one which would
make it unlawful for an employ
er to fail to make payments to
health, welfare or pension funds
—once he has agreed to contri
bute to the programs.
The House also unanimously
approved a measure that would
permit adults to make gifts of
securities to minor children.
