McKay Recommends Approval Of
Plan to Pay Former ANICA Head
$2,500 to Settle Dispute with Gov t
WASHINGTON, UP)—Secretary
of the Interior McKay announced
Monday he has recommended gov
ernment acceptance of a proposal
by Louis C. Peters, whom he de
scribed as former manager of the
Alaska Native Industries Coopera
tive Assn. (ANICA>, that Peters be
paid $2,500 to settle his dispute
with the government.
McKay said Peters, “against
whom removal action was initia
ted by the Department of Justice,
has offered to settle his dispute
with the government for $2,500.”
ANICA is a purchasing organiza
tion owned by 33 native village
stores of Alaska in partnership
and was financed in part by fed
eral loans.
“Under the terms of the settle
ment,” McKay said in a news re
lease, “Peters would surrender his
office and deliver all properties of
ANICA and its promises to an
authorized representative of the
Department of the Interior. Peters
would also relinquish all claims
against either the United States
or ANICA.
“The proposed agreement would
not release Peters from any claims
which the United States or ANICA
may lodge against him under h's
bond in the future.”
The government went into court
at Seattle at the request of the
Interior Department to try to re
move Peters, McKay said, after
prolonged negotiations over sur
render of the assets and premises
of the association.
Peters’ contract with ANICA
expired Dec. 31, 1952.
In announcing his recommenda
tion that Peters’ offer be accepted,

and tongs” battle is promised
James Roosevelt in the race for
the Democratic nomination for
Congressman from California’s
26th District.

newspaper publisher and an
nounced Democratic candidate,
declared yesterday:
“The fight he (Roosevelt) has
asked for I will give him in a
hammer and tongs manner.”
Roosevelt surprised many poli
tical observers by winning the en
dorsement Sunday of the 26th
District Democratic Council. Red
ding had asked that his name not
be considered by the council be
cause he did not consider the
group representative.

McKay said an early end to the
dispute would enable the associa
tion to resume its normal business
activities in the near future.
“The amount of the proposed
settlement is far less than was or
iginally demanded,” McKay said.
“It is less than the cost of a long
drawn-out litigation. Settlement
on this basis would prevent the
continued disruption of ANICA’s
affairs.”
McKay reiterated Tuesday the
action was necessary to protect
loans totaling about $500,000 by
the United States to native vill
ages in Alaska and the interests
of the native village cooperatives
making up the membership of
ANICA.
McKay also said that as soon as
audits of the former management
can be completed and a satisfac
tory new management selected
and installed, ANICA’s operation
will be returned to its board of
directors.
He also announced that subject
to approval by the directors, he is
authorizing payment of salaries of
former employes of ANICA thru
Feb. 15.
