No Time For ESC
Official To Appear Before
The Legislature Adjourns
JUNEAU, —Democrats in the
Territorial House have been hop
ing to get Daniel Goldy, the re
gional director of the Bureau of
Employment Security, to make a
second flight to Juneau to con
sult on ESC legislation, but the
hope apparently went glimmer
ing Monday night.
Word was relayed to the House
that Goldy’s latest arrival date
would be a week from Wednes
day. The first impulse of some
of the House Democrats was to
try to issue a subpoena for him
—despite the fact he is a federal
official and outside the territory.
They finally decided to advise
him next week would be too late;
the compromise legislation shoifld
be drafted before then, and if he
couldn’t possibly make the trip
earlier the whole idea should be
dropped.

Renews Request Defense
Dept. Elaborate Opposition
To Statehood For Alaska
WASHINGTON, UP—'The Sen
ate Territories Subcommittee yes
terday decided to renew its re
quest for an s elaboration of De
fense Department opposition to
Alaska statehood.
Chairman Jackson (D-Wash)
told a newsman after a closed
session of the subcommittee he
had been instructed to write such
a request to James D. Douglas,
undersecretary of the Air Force,
who has been the Defense Depart
ment spokesman on statehood
legislation.
Jackson said he would call at
tention in the letter to statements
which Douglas made in 1953 that
admission of Alaska would “fur
ther national security.” He said
he would ask the defense official
to square those views with the
i Defense Department’s present po
sition that it would be in the na
tional interest that Alaska now
remain a territory.
The Washington senator earlier
had termed “insufficient and un
! satisfactory” Douglas’ reply to the
i subcommittee’s original request
| for elaboration of the Defense
i Department position.

8 Pilots, New C-46
Added By Wiens
SEATTLE — Increased cargo
demands and anticipation of a big
tourist season ahead have brought
about the purchase of a new large
C-46F aircraft and the hiring of
eight new pilots in recent weeks
by Wien Alaska Airlines.
George Rayburn, executive vice
president for the airline, return
ed to Fairbanks last week after
spending more than two weeks in
Seattle negotiating for the plane
purchase. The ship was readied
for flight in the hangar with a
complete check-up and the ad
dition of the company’s insignia.
Of the eight men hired in re
cent weeks all but one are well
known in Alaska flying circles.
The exception is Tom Weingar
ten, recently discharged from the
United States Air Force, who
drove his family to Seattle from
South Carolina to fly for Wien’s
at the suggestion of Merrill Wien,
his Air Force friend and son of
one of the firm’s founders, vet
eran pilot Noel Wien.
Alaska veterans include George
Stinton and Ralph Hausler, for
merly asoocia'cd with La very,
and Pat Hendricks, Chuck Car
ter, Milo Gaffi, Holger Jorgen
son and Tony Schultz, all of
whom have been with other air
lines in the territory.
j Pilot Whales Lose
| Way, Lose Lives
| WESTRAY,, Orkney Islands, uP
1 —The county council may have
to hire trawlers to get rid of 63
pilot whales that turned out to be
pretty poor pilots
The fish, members of the dol
phin family about 10 feet long,
rushed into shallow waters at the
Point of Cott yesterday and gasp
ed their last after the receding
tide stranded them.
The council says' it may have
to tow the carcasses out to sea
to prevent them becoming a sani
tary hazard.
