Senator Jones Reports On Several
Phases of Past Legislative Session
Senator Charles D. Jones re-j
cently returned from the States
and he herewith reports on sev- l
eral phases of the past legislative 5
session at Juneau:
• “Most of the heads of the de
partments grumbled to me after
the end of the session and after
the members had left and I had
to stay on and clean up the loose
ends. I have always felt that in
submitting their budget requests
they pressed the bet so that when
they were cut — they hoped it
would still be more than what
they actually needed. I was not a
receptive listener to their com
plaints,” stated Jones.
“In taking the Highway Patrol
out of the Road Commissioner’s
hands and making it a separate
entity, a bad error was made in
taking part of the road funds
from the gasoline tax to run it—•
this will have to be corrected—
for if it is to be a Territorial
law enforcement body, it should
• have a direct appropriation and
with a man, well trained in law
enforcement and with the knowl
edge to handle a force scattered
over the Territory as it will be,
to know the ones who are really
on the job and doing a good job
of it.
“With the building of night
clubs, etc., along the highways,
outside of incorporated towns, law
• enforcement has become too big
a job for the U.S. Marshals—to
get the best cooperation between
our Territorial law enforcement
officials and the Federal author
ities is going to require a ‘good
head’ for the force.
“We of the Second Division
tried our best to get consideration
from the Federal government for
the necessity of road construction
in the Division. We had help in
this from the other Divisions, par
ticularly from the Fourth, the
members of which seem to sense
our condition the best. I am in re
ceipt of a letter from the military
headquarters refusing to comply
with our requests. This means we
will have to make a concerted ef
fort, from all over the Division for
a definite plan.
“The entire membership of the
Division made a good record, as
a whole. Edith Bullock, never
having held office or worked in a
political organization, was a won
der. She has a good head, was
on the job at all times and j)ut
up a good fight for what she be
lieved in and was recognized forr
her sincerity and respected by all.
“The matter of a special session
will depend on how things work
out for the Governor.”
Senator Jones visited Seattle
before returning north and of the
old-timers there he reports:
“Andy Nyland wishes to extend
his greetings and good wishes to
all his friends in the Second Divi
sion. He is looking very well, just
like all of his contemporaries—a
little older.”
Jones had a nice chat with Mr.
and Mrs. Nylen before going to
the Arctic Club luncheon at which
twelve ex-Nomeites were present.
“None of them resemble spring
chickens but all are well preser
ved. All were keenly interested in
what was doing in the Division
and willing to do' all in their pow
er to help in any way that they
could,” stated Jones.
Bartlett Presses For
Attorney Gen. To Name
Successor To Dimond
WASHINGTON, UP) — Delegate
Bartlett said yesterday “chaos will
result” if a successor to the late
Judge Anthony J. Dimond is not
named promptly.
Dimond, district judge at An
chorage, died last month.
In a letter to Attorney General
Brownell, Bartlett noted that the
3rd Division case load is so heavy
that in the past one judge has not
been able to keep abreast of the
work.
“It is imperative,” he wrote,
“that the administration move
promptly in sending the name of
a suitable successor to the Sen
ate.”

Mountain Scaling Team
Head North to Attempt
Climb St. Elias Peaks
SEATTLE, UP) — A mountain
scaling team of five youths has
headed north to challenge three
of Alaska’s most formidable
peaks.
They said they plan to try a
new route to the 19,850-foot sum
mit of Mt. Logan in the St. Elias
range after first ascending 13,760
foot Mt. Cook. Their final goal on
the all-summer venture will be
14,400-foot Mt. MacArthur.
- Both Cook and MacArthur are
listed as unclimbed mountains.
Their major venture, however,
will be to reach both summits
of Mt. Logan. Logan has been
climbed only three times.
The expedition leader is Dick
McGowan of Seattle. He was a
member of last year’s King Peak
Yukon expedition, which con
quered Mt. Augusta.
Bill Niendorff, Seattle, is an
other King Peak climber who
will participate.

Red Negotiators Call
Full-Dress Meeting To
Discuss Important Subject
BERLIN, Iff)—The Communists
said late Friday they have an im
portant subject to discuss when
Allied and Red truce negotiators
meet in a few hours in a full
dress crisis session that may de
termine the fate of an armistice.
This was the only hint of the
reason behind the Red request for
a meeting at 11 a.m. Saturday at
Panmunjom.
There has been speculation the
negotiators might approve final
truce details or that the Reds may
protest President Syngman Rhee’s
defiant release of about 26,000
anti-Red prisoners.
The Red radio earlier accused
the U.S. and South Korea of col
laborating to free the prisoners.
