over by the Marshal’s office to the

the “white mule” was used as a sub

the skin off the backs of those on
whom the experiment was tried.
Later some surgical instruments
were placed in a quantity of the

WAfcXVF ACT OF 1980
A bill to amend the Merchant Ma-1
rine Act of 1920, by removing the
discrimta&ry clause against Alaska
one to provide for the election of a
Governor by the people of the terri
tory, and resolutions introduced for
an investigation by Congress of the
Alaskan Fisheries situation, are
among the most interesting matters j
to the people of Alaska which are to ;
come up before the present Congress
in the. opinion of Attorney General j
John Rustgard. who has ret urned to j
Juneau from a two-months' trip to j
Washington, says the Juneau Em
pire. While his visit included an ap
pearance before, the Supreme Court 1
for the Territory, much of the time
was spent in investigating transpor
tation matters and in an effort to
upset the fisheries reserve policy of
the Administration.
Says Complaint Useless
When he left for Washington, be
paid, it was with the idea in mind
that he would file a complaint with
the Federal Shipping Board alleging
unjust rates charged by steamship
companies on the Alaska routes. Af
ter spending some three weeks in
the Board’s Washington offices study
ing the matter, he said he decided it
[was useless to make any such com
plaint. Two reasons, he added, in
fluenced him in his decision. One.
that the Board is without authority
to hold teal inquiries, the second,
said Rustgard, is that the Board in
the past has not shown a«n attitude
that would lead to the belief that its
findings would be just to the public
In connection with the first, he de
clared that the Beard had no author
ity to go into the steamship offices
and get. its own data but is forced to
accept whatever figures the compan
ies furnish. In other words, what
ever conclusion the Board might
reach would he based on facts or al
leged facta, furnished by the trans
portation companies, Rustgard said
He said he conferred with Senator
Wesley L. Jones, of the State of
Washington, relative to the intro
duct ion of a bill to repeal Section 27
of the Merchant Marine Act hut
found the latter unwilling either to
introduce it., or to promise his sup
port to it, although he declared that
the senator had written letters ad
mitting that, it was unfair to Alas
ka. Such a bill will be introduced in
Congress, in the House by Delegate
Sutherland and in the Senate by Sen
ator King, of Utah, who. Rustgard
said is deeply interested in the Ter
with Delegate Sutherland, Rust- i
g^rd called on the President and |
took up with him the Alaska fisher- j
iea situation. He said he told the
President that it was his opinion, j
and that of other lawyers with whom ‘
he had conferred, that the reserves]
were, illegally created. He said he j
also informed the President he was j
unable to take the question up in the ,
courts as a bill authorizing such a j
step passed by the 1923 Legislature j
had been vetoed. He and the Dele- t
Kate, ho said, were advised to take !
if up as private citizens. The suit j

He said he had expected to file a |

rcorce Commission on the rates
