WASHINGTON, UP> — Repre
sentative James Haley (D-Fla) di
rected a couple of pointed barbs
recently toward the cost-of-living
allowances received *by federal
employes in Alaska.
He wanted to know — during
House committee hearings on the
Alaska omnibus bill — if the Ad
ministration proposal would eli
minate the payments. Harold Seid
man, who is handling the Alaska
bill for the Budget Bureau, said
it wouldn’t.
Seidman added, however, that
the Administration now is study
ing the “whole problem of fringe
benefits and cost-of-living allow
ances as a separate matter.”
If Haley took any satisfaction
from this reply, he probably lost
it a moment later.
This was after Haley had com
mented that he was a little sur
prised, not only that federal em
ployes in Alaska receive a 25 per
cent bonus, but wherever they
work. He also expressed the view
that prices in the District of Co
lumbia were as high as any in the
nation.
Seidman didn’t buy this.
“The Administration’s position
on this,” he said, “is that the ceil
ing should be taken off cost-of
living allowances in Alaska.”
Seidman said some prices in the
new state exceeded those in the
nation’s capitol by as much as 60
per cent.

Although most of the time spent
on the omnibus bill by the Senate
Interior Committee was devoted
to highways, Sen. Henry Jackson
(D-Wash) said he believed the
bill’s biggest problems could arise
from its provision on housing.
That was because the bill would
continue such benefits as higher
mortgage insurance ceilings which
Alaska received under the national
housing act as a territory.
Jackson saw the provision as
singling Alaska out for special
treatment not available to its
sister states, thereby departing
from the equality of states con
cept.
Seidman said he felt it was
individual Alaskans who would
benefit and not the state. He sup
ported need for continuation of
the existing program by noting
that the median property values
in 1957 for the 48 states was $14,
251, as compared with $30,125 in
Alaska.
Seidman agreed with Jackson,
however, that it would be best to

write the provision in general
terms so as to apply to any state
meeting certain criteria. He sug
gested language which would let
the Housing Administration invoke
the higher ceilings in any area- j
where construction costs are more
than 50 per cent above the na
tional average.
At the present time, that could
be only Alaska. At some future
date, it could be applicable to
other states. ' !

Sen. Tom Martin (R-Iowa)
dropped into the Senate hearing
in the midst of Secretary of State
Hugh Wade’s testimony but
shrugged off efforts of committee
aides to brief him on who the i
witness was. ' ‘
The reason came out later when
Jackson sought to introduce Wade
to the Mid-west Republican.
“I’ve known him or years,” said
Martin with a wide smile as he
reached out to grab Wade's hand.
“One of the greatest athletes the
University of Iowa ever had.”
Wade played end on Iowa’s 1922

Alaska’s Sen. Bob Bartlett has
decided to join as a co-sponsor to
the so-called “fair political broad
casting” bill introduced by Sen.
Vance Hartke (D-Ind).
The proposal is designed to
overcome what Bartlett feels are
aspects of recent Federal Commu
nications Commission rulings
which would discourage public
service broadcasts.
“The terrible burden placed on
broadcasters by requiring them to
donate their facilities and station
time without charge to publicity
seekers who are not good faith
candidates discourages political
broadcasts altogether, thereby lim
iting the people in their efforts to
learn about the conduct of public
affairs and the issues of our time,”
he said.
