The Alaska Territorial Legislature has accepted a bill to strip the Governor of his administrative power and passed a memorial against any further "outsiders" for the Governor's post.
This action was taken a few minutes after Governor Ernest Gruening had addressed the legislature.
The Governors legislative programme, which he had hoped tọ save by appearing personally, was scuttled along with the income tax bill and the project to build armories in Alaska.
Alaskans have long been resentful of the Washington action of sending Governors from the "outside" and protested vigorously when President Roosevelt appointed Mr. Gruening last year.—United Press.
