Council of the Employment Se

proposal that two experts be hired
to write a new employment secur
ity act to present to the next leg
islature.
The proposal went before the
council’s first meeting. The com
mission opened its meeting last
Thursday and the council Friday.
The two groups were addressed
by Gov. Helntzleman at a joint
session.
Heintzleman stressed the need
for a stable, workable ESC for
mula. He said Ithe present condi
tion of the employment security
fund was discouraging Investors
from starting new ventures in the
territory.
"Right now we’re scraping the
bottom of the barrel,” he said.
“The tragedy is that the present
situation is such that it is impos
sible to raise the level of the fund
in times of high employment In
Alaska.”
Advisory Council Chairman
Herbert S. Rowland, Juneau, em
phasized the commission’s desire
to hire experts to obtain an im
partial survey of Alaska’s econ
omy. He said commission mem
bers were “very green” in their
grasp of the problem. He stressed
that the cost of the survey should
be shared equally by labor and
management.

it could be raised, and the need
of such a survey in view of ex
isting data.
G. W. Snedden, Fairbanks, a
member of the commission repre
senting management, said the aim
is to get a “fair objective.”
“Our overall objective is to put
the act in decent shape so that we
can go to the federal government
to ask a reimbursement to the ter
ritory during construction per
iod,” he said.
Snedden referred to the heavy
drain on the fund by construction
workers during the idle winter
months.

The opinion has been expressed
frequently in Alaska that since
much construction is part of the
national defense effort the gov
ernment should underwrite its
cost to the territory in such pay
ments of expenses to the jobless.
The territory has already bor
rowed three million dollars to
keep the fund above water. Heint
zleman reminded the commission
and the council Of the need to pay
that money back.
Commission members agreed
that the existing law Is ambigu
ous, unduly long and unworkable
technically.
