Governor Likely
To Stay in Office
Until Term Ends
By JIM HUTCHESON
; The announcement of a delay
in naming a new governor for
Alaska gives promise of turning
loose a ’high pressure political
merry-go-round in the territorial
legislature, which opens Monday
in Juneau.
Some legislators and other poli
tical observers foresee the con
test for the Juneau mansion be
coming an overshadowing interest
during the lawmakers’ session,
t Concern over string-pulling and
building pressure for favorite can
didates' may well rival the interest
in law-making and framing the
budget.
Secretary of the Interior Mc
Kay announced the delay Wed
nesday. He said Governor Gruen
jng probably will continue in of
fice until his term expires in
April. The legislature will wind
up its session the last week in
March.
The new Secretary of the In
terior’s announcement came as a
surprise after the reports that the
appointment of Gov. Gruening’s
successor was imminent.
Reports from Washington, Ju
neau, Seattle, and Portland had
been pointing to the prospect of

Nenana Jeep Fails Again
In Try for Fairbanks Drive
FAIRBANKS, UPI — A five-man
Nenana chamber of commerce
“safari” failed for the second time
Wednesday in their attempt to
drive over the proposed 60-mile
wilderness route for a Nenana
Fairbanks highway. They will try
again.
They are trying to prove that
the route is feasible for a road.
The five returned on foot to
Nenana Wednesday after their
jeep’s path was blocked by heavy
timber less than four miles from
a point where they would have
found easy going the rest of the
way.
regional forester for Alaska, get
ting the governor nod.
The prospective delay in the
appointment had the appearance
of a setback, at least for the pres
ent, for the Heintzleman support
ers. It raised the hopes especially
of the supporters of Elmer Ras
muson, Anchorage banker. He has
strong .support in the Third (An
chorage) and Fourth (Fairbanks)
Divisions.
One of the first questions raised
by the development was whether
influence of the Thomas E. Dewey
camp might have been brought to
bear in Rasmuson’s behalf. He
has an acquaintance with the New
York governor and two-time Re
publican nominee that dates back
to college days.

Skagway Smelter
Would Involve
U.S. Concessions
Dan Jones, Associate Mining
Engineer for the Nome Office of
the Department of Mines, states
that the January 15 issue of the
“E & M J Metal and Mineral Mar
kets” under their “Washington
Reports” contains an article of
interest to all Alaskans.
The article reads as follows:
“There may be a way out for
ALCOA in its bottled-up plan to
build a $400 - million - dollar 'alu
minum smelter-hydro power pro
ject at Skagway, Alaska. But it
will involve concessions by the
U S. Government.
“ALCOA is now stalled by Can
ada’s refusal to allow diversion of
Yukon waters into Alaska to pow
er the aluminum smelter. But
Washington observers believe that
the Canadian Government would
reconsider in return for a U.S.
contract to buy Canadian alumi
num for our stockpile, lifting of
the lVi^ a lb. UJ3. tariff on alumi
num, or U.S. participation in the
St. Lawrence Seaway.
“In the meantime, there’s strong
Canadian support for Alcoa’s pro
ject. A big proponent is ft. H.
Channing, president of Hudson
Bay Mining & Smelting Co., one
of Canada’s largest mine opera
tors. He contends that cheap pow
er produced at Skagway would
be a boon to nickel, copper, and
cobalt mining in the Yukon re
gion.”
Agriculture Secy. Benson
Reported Working on
Department Changes
WASHINGTON, (A — President
Eisenhower’s cabinet Thursday
plunged into its first working day
amid reports that some already
had departmental shake-ups in
mind.
Secretary Benson, for one, was
reported working on an order to
regroup some 25 agencies of the
Agriculture Department with the
aim of greater efficiency.
Secretary of State Dulles had a
staff conference and was under
stood to have made one or two
operating decisions. They were
not disclosed.
Dulles made public, however, a
letter to the 16,500 American State
Dept, employees, telling them he
will tolerate nothing less than
“positive loyalty” to the nation’s
policies.
“The national welfare must be
given priority over individual
concerns,” he said.
Eisenhower was in his office at
8:50 a.m. This was 50 minutes
later than the hour he clocked in
yesterday, but he had a special
reason for lingering in the White
House living quarters. His son,
Maj. John Eisenhower, was leav
ing on the first leg of a trip back
to Korea so there was a leisurely
family breakfast before the fare
wells.

Delegate Bartlett
Proposes Bill For
Open Market Gold
WASHINGTON, Iff) — Sale of
gold on the open market within
the United States, Alaska and
other territories was proposed
Thursday in a bill prepared by
Delegate Bartlett (D-Alaska).
The measure, one of 19 pre
pared by Bartlett for introduction
yesterday, also would permit the
exportation of gold without re
striction.
Present law limits the sale of
gold to the government -at a price
of $35 an ounce and prohibits its
export from this country.
Bartlett also proposed that the
nation-wide survey of forest re
sources begun in 1930 be exten
ded to Alaska as well as other
territories and possessions.
He asked also that the 'boun
dary between the Second and
Fourth Judicial Divisions in Al- •
aska be redefined to correspond
with geographic lines such as riv
ers and mountain ridges.
Another Bartlett proposal would
amend existing law to permit
payment of travel expenses to Al
askans hired for a federal post
within the territory.
The remainder of the bills dealt
largely with efforts to gain per
mission for various Alaskans to
buy or lease small tracts within
the territory for church, recrea- 4
tional or individual use, and with
individual claims against the gov
ernment.
