ALASKA SCHOOLS
NEED FINANCIAL
AID, Says BECK
Action Declared Necessary
Even If Special Leg
isIature Required

? PETERSBURG, Alaska, Jan. %
George Beck, of Petersburg, Presi-
dent of the Alaska Education As
ISOLATION, today made public plea
for supplementary support for AL
aska schools, even if special ses-
sion of the Territorial Legislature
must be called.
In telegram to Delegate Anthony
j. Dimond, Beck said Alaska schools
are unable to operate efficiently
because current prices have sur
mounted budgets compiled under
normal conditions.
The best teachers are leaving the
classrooms to seek a living wage
and increased maritime rates will
seriously impair conditions unless
school support is supplemented
Beck declared.
He suggested a substantial wage
increase for teachers and more Ter
ritorial funds for supplies and
equipment.

If il hadn't been for the war, /

such a little bit OF knowledge,
because hanging gardens don't
hang from anything.
The hanging gardens of Bombay

political leader OF the MoslemS
They're called hanging just be-

Palestine "is the only country in
the Eastern Mediterranean where
there are technical scientists and
skilled labor in sumcient quantity
to make q real contribution to the

With an increase Of is per cent
| during the month, hourly earnings
Of wage earners In manufacturing
! industries in November reached .
new high level OF 7s.1 cents. Sec
retary Perkins reported today.
Since many industries reduced
hours because of the Armistice Day
holiday. weekly earnings declined
slightly.
This rise in average hourly
earnings for all manufacturing was
partly a result Of the substantial
seasonal decline IN employment in
the low-wage canning industry"
Secretary Perkins explained.
Wage rate increases were only
q minor factor. as fewer were re-
ported than in any month since
March. 194l. Over the preceding
year hourly earnings rose Is per
cent: average hours worked per
week (40.0 increased per cent,
and weekly earnings H32.8D ad-
vanced 81 per cent"
Between October IS and Novem-
| Der IS wage increases averaging
per cent were received by approx
mately 174,000 wage earners in $50
manufacturing establishments. ac-
cording to the Bureau Of Labor
statistics.
Machine tool and machine tool
accessories industries continued to
operate In excess Of so hours per

ians crowded British prison
camps today as a result Of the
imperial desert army's mopup of
the Halfaya-Salum pockets near
the Egyptian-Libyan frontier.
These Axis losses, which take no
account Of the dead and wounded,
were inflicted at the cost Of only

ish communique said.
Among the prisoners were two

rupted, the British turned their at
tention to the main body of Gen.
Erwin Rommel's troops just east of
Ell Aghelia, on the Gulf Of Sirte. Bad
weather has restricted operations
for nearly q week, during which the
Axis forces have dug In and pos
sibly been reinforced.
The British, proudly recounting
their victorious sweep through Bar
dia, Salum and Halfaya, credited
CLOSE and effective" cooperation OF
their land, navy and air forces for
their success. South African troops
were given the major share of praise.
Large quantities of usable war
booty were seized with the prisoners.
The communique said ATS pris-
oners from the surrendered Axis
garrison At Halfaya had been count
ed 80 far, but that the list was not
complete.
Among them. 1t said, 48 German
ofncers and Ito Germans of other

Outlines Women's S
Work for Victory
li9htkeeper's Heroism
Cited in Address at

American women must bend every
effort to aid the war effort II we are
to achieve victory, Rear Admiral r.
r. Waesche, commandant Of the
Coast Guard. told the closing session
Of the three-day Women's Patriotic
Conference ut the Mayflower Hotel
today.
If we want to achieve victory in
the shortest space Of time, thereby
saving many lives" Adniiral.Waesche
said. you women OF this country
must strike the bell for freedom and
democracy with all your might until
victory Is won"
He cited the heroism In peacetime
of lone woman lighthouse keeper
In San Francisco Bay. For about
q day and q half, when thick fog
settled on the bay and the bell ma
chinery was disabled, she struck the
bell herself without rest or food.
Rescue Described.
Describing q Coast Guard rescue
several years ago when two boat
loads of Coast Guardsmen we're sac
rificed to save the crew OF one ship,
Admiral Waesche warned 750 dele
gates from patriotic organizations
all over the United States that many
will be lost before success crowns
American efforts.
The mother who discourages her
sons from entering the service, he
said. is committing serious error"
The child who finds himself in a
world dominated by the philosophy
and tyranny Of the Axis powers" the
Admiral maintained, will forever re-
gret that his mother feared to have
him meet death on the battlefield,
fighting for liberty.
The delegates also heard q plea
this morning by Lee r. Pennington
F. B. I. inspector, that the F. B. I.
be permitted to handle espionage
problems without help from the
amateur investigator"
Although wholly guiltless Of un-
American activities, Mr.. Pennington
explained, the person whom the
amateur sleuth" selects as an OBJ
ject of suspicion may be forever con-
demned in the public mind.
Report to F. B. 1. Urged.
He requested that citizens prompt
ly report suspicious to the F. B. I.
rather than attempt to be investi-
gators themselves.
A labor expert, Andrew j. Bic
miller, O. P. M. labor adviser. en-
phasized the need of woman workers
to step into jobs left by men enter
ing service.
Mr.. Biemiller added that no group
Is giving greater or more loyal serv-
ice to the Nations war effort than
its 100000 workers on planes,
tanks. ships and guns. To meet the
new program. he said, this labor
force will have to expand to 15,000,-
600 men and women.

Douglas Aircraft
Sets New Peaks

NEW YORK, May 27.-New
peaks in employment, pay rolls
and production were established
by the Douglas Aircraft Company
in the first quarter of its 1912
fiscal year. In addition TO the fac
tories at Santa Monica and Fl
Segundo and the huge modern
plant at Long Beach, Cal, recently
expanded TO meet the victory pro-
gram. the company has begun OPP
erations in government-built
plant at Oklahoma and has CON-
pleted plans for additional plants
in another part of that state and
in the Great Lakes industrial
region.
OF the backlog, more than 90
per cent is on a fixed-fee basis.
approximately three-quarters OF
the company's 1912 business will
be on fixed-fee contracts, one
quarter being on fixed price
contracts which remain TO be COM
pleted in the year.
While much of the backlog calls
for a per cent fee. recent con-
tracts voluntarily have been re-
duced by the company TO 5 per
cent before taxes.
