Begin on Dredging
In Gastineau Channel

impede navigation in'- Gastineau
Channel, Juneau.
In testimony prepared for the
House Appropriations subcom
mittee, he noted $1,080,000 dredg
ing project authorized by Con
gress 13 years ago. Money with
which to complete planning was
made available during the cur
rent year.
Bartlett asked no specific sum
but urged the subcommittee to
recommend inclusion in the pub
lic works budget of whatever
amount Army engineers can use
economically during the year be
ginning July 1.
He urged also that a $225,000
item for Bureau of Reclamation
investigations in Alaska be in
creased to the $250,000 authorized
by law. Such an amount, he said,
would provide funds with which
the bureau could complete its
studies of Devils Canyon 'pro
ject on the Susitna River.
In two other scheduled appear
ances, Bartlett asked the House
Banking Subcommittee to include
Alaska in proposed legislation to
aid depressed labor areas and sup
ported, before a Senate Appro
priations Subcommittee, items for
Alaska included in a House
passed appropriation for the
Health, Education and Welfare
Department.
The new bill carries $10,486,000
for hospitalization of Alaskan
natives in non-government hos- j
pitals; $1,000,000 for care of men- |
tally ill; $638,000 for health
grants used in conjunction with!
territorial funds; $411,700 for

To House Expected On Friday
Vote To Bring Statehood Bill
WASHINGTON, UP) — State
hood advocates yesterday braced
themselves against an expected
early move to choke off House
consideration of a bill to admit
Alaska as the 49th state.
A move to bypass the House
Rules Committee — where- the
Alaska bill has been bottled up
for 10 months—and send the bill
to the House for consideration
now tentatively is expected to
be made Friday.
The actual timing will depend
upon how fast the House dis
poses of the foreign aid author
ization and state-justice-judiciary
•appropriation bills which have
precedence in the week’s pro
gram.
Chairman Leo O’Brien (D-NY)
of the House Territories Sub
committee said he expects op
ponents to strike at the outset
and seek defeat of a motion that
the House resolve itself into a
committee of the whole to con
sider the Alaska bill.
“We could go down then with
out firing a shot,” he told a news
man, referring to the possible
Friday timing which could cost
the bill the support of many
Eastern Congressmen who nor
mally go home on weekends.
Anticipating a possibly decis
ive vote early in the going, how
ever, O’Brien said he is prepared
to accept several'proposed ameiidr
ments as a means of picking up
added support.
Among these, he listed a pro
posal by Rep. Thomas M. Pelly
(R-WaSh), offered to meet the ob
jections of several national con
servation organizations as well as
non-resident fishing interests.
O’Brien said he also would be
prepared to accept an amend
ment proposed by Rep. A. L.
Miller (R-Neb) to require that
Alaskans vote on the specific
question of immediate statehood.
He said tie would accept this so
long as the' ’•"'-'randum could be
held simu'ta^-ouslv w^h other
votes provided in the bill.
Other amendments which he
would accept, he said, would cut
from 183 rmTioe *o ° 'dron
the number of acres which Alas
ka could select as a tax base, and
would continue under the Mari
time Board instead of the Inter- J
state Commerce CQ-rrunigsion. i
The jurisdic+i-r- ovnr w=>4er trans-,
portation wi’1’5- and a Alaska. J
O’Brien’s disc’osure drew some
fire from Del. Bartlett who said
he would oppos° anv amendment,
which would maintain federal j
control of Alaska’s fisheries af
ter statehood.
He said he would not object
to the statehood referandum so
long as it would not delay the
effective dab5 of statehood, and
expressed belief the 103 mil1 ion
acre provision would give Alas
ka “ample acreage upon which to
build the state.
