UNWANTED GOVERNOR
ALASKAN RESIDENTS SHOW RESENTMENT FLARE UP IN LEGISLATURE. APPOINTMENT OPPOSED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 9.0 a.m.) JUNEAU (Alaska), March 6. The resentment of Alaskan residents at the appointment of “outsider” territorial governors flared up at a night session of the Legislature. A few minutes after the Governor, Mr Ernest Gruening, had personally addressed the body, in an effort to save his .legislative programme, legislators firstly, permitted submission of a bill transferring Mr Gruening's administrative powers to an AdministratorGeneral to be elected by the Legislature; secondly, passed a resolution opposing the appointment of any future non-AJaskan governors and thirdly, voted down Mr Gruening's entire programme also the Income Tax Bill and a project to build amouries in Alaska. It will be recalled that Alaskans protested vigorously when President Roosevelt appointed Mr Gruening last year.
