Smithsonian Receives
Truman S Greetings
Al Centennial Fete

President Truman, as presiding
officer of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion, issued a statement today con-
graduating it on its Tooth anniver-
sary. The statement was issued at
the White House as DR.. Alexander
Wetmore, secretary of the institu-
ton, was receiving the first sheet
OF the Smithsonian Centennial
Stamp from Joseph J. Lawler, Sd
assistant postmaster general. in a
ceremony in the National Museum
In Constitution avenue, one of the
four principal buildings of the in
stitution.
The Presidents statement called
for renewal of the institutions zeal
In the increase of the sum total of
mans knowledge"
THE Smithsonian" the President
said, should continue to strive to-
ward the end that man should not
only know better his earthly abode,
but should acquire the means of
knowing himself better. Such
studies are of vital significance in
our efforts to build better world
order"
Centennial Stamp Presented.
The centennial postage stamp, a
Scent stamp for first-class mail,
which will be in general uses for
several months, depicts the old
Smithsonian Building from the Mall
and its maroon color is the same
as that of the stone used in the
building.
In my judgment" said Mr.. Law
Ter, 1.-The man most directly respon-
sible for the issuance of this COM
memorative stamp was the late
Chief Justice of the United States,
Harlan F. Stone, who, up to the
date of his sudden and untimely
death, served as chancellor of the
Board of Regents of the Smith
sonian Institution. Early in this
year. during visit to the White
House, the late Chief Justice
brought before President Truman
the knowledge that the Smithson-
ian Institution would celebrate the
Tooth anniversary of it's foundation
on August 10.
"He called attention to the fact
that the representatives of the in
stitution were planning a celebra-
ton of this event and suggested
that it would be desirable to bring
1t widely to public attention by the
issuance of a special commemora-
tive postage stamp. Such a proceed
ure, he pointed out, had been fol-
lowed by the Post Office Department
IN the case of other anniversaries
of national interest and importance.
Justice Stone even suggested to the
President that the principal design
for the new stamp should be a
replica of the old Smithsonian
Building, which adorns this stamp
today"
Cites Smithson Bequest.
The institution, which you honor
today by this beautiful commemora-
tive stamp" said DR.. Wetmore,
came into being through the far
sighted bequest of an English scien-
tist, James Smithson, who left his
fortune to the United States of
aLiiCiA ASo W lOUllu DIT WdSlllllRU UOIl
under the name of the Smithsonian
Institution an establishment for the
increase and diffusion of knoWl-

After debating some eight years
how best to carry out Smithson's be-
quest, Congress passed an act estab-
fishing the institution to which
President Polk affixed his signature

vicinity had wide range today as
the Federation of Cab Owners and
Operators, charged a $125 single
and 75-cent group riding fee, as
compared with the SITS and 81
maintained by several companies
affiliated with the Combined Cab
Service.
A spokesman for the federation,
representing approximately $500
operators, said they had voted late
yesterday to establish the s1.25 and
rs cents rates to the airport. These
are IS and Is cents above the CELL
ings which were Abandoned last
week. The federation members, the,
official reported, decided to charge
ST single and 60-cent group riding
fare to the Pentagon, Naval Annex,
Arlington Farms and adjacent
points.
The Arrow, Premier, Washington
and Bell cab companies, associated
with the Combined Cab Service, con-
tinue to charge 80 cents single and
so cents for group riding to the Pen
tagon and nearby sections, an Off
cial of the Arrow company said to-
day.
The Yellow Cab Company cannot
establish" fares to the airport and
the Pentagon. an official said. 1t

that its drivers charge no more than
$1.25 single and IS cents group rid
ing to the airport, and 81 single and
go cents group riding to the Penta-
gon, he reported.
He explained that the company
cannot order its drivers to charge
specific fare to Virginia points be-
cause many of the drivers rent their
cabs or have other arrangements
which make them independent of
such company direction.

CONTAMINATION

To the Editor of The Daily Alaska Empire-In reply to the April 22nd editorial concerning 8 School Board letter to the Council As there are two sides to every question, we, the Tesnagers, wish to present our side.
 In answering their inquiry as to why the necessity of an additional organization when the school seems to he taking care of all needs we would like to bring out these points.
 Those activities listed ln the ed!- torial are available to Juneau High School students only, and so do not include the Parochial School group, the Teenagers in Grade School, the Douglas students. the Government School, the Alumni, or those Teen aeers who do not attend any school. These groups combined comprise a large percent of Teen age members. Of course. were the doors of the School thrown open to all of these groups, we would not need to organize another Club.
 Another point to be emphasized is the fact that the average mem bership in these clubs mentioned does not exceed 20 or 30 - not a very large percentage of the total number considering most of these high school students belong to or 3 clubs. Clubs excluding musical and athletic ones) meet not more

 Some clubs mentioned in that list of extra -curricular activities are not clubs, but regular courses for which students get scholastic credits Cnsmely, beginning and ad- vanced band, boys glee club, girls glce club and mixed chorus) Other clubs mentioned are non-eXistant. There is no dramatic club, it was disbanded few years ago; no publication club, those students who work on the school paper, do their work in school; no debate club has Lsen organized yet; no girls tuinb- ling club.
 Such organizations as the Order of Rainbow for Girls. The Catholic Daughters, the Boy and Girl Scouts are excellent as far as their influence extends, but until they have worked out a more embracing schedule, are not the answer to the present question.
 The very worthy suggestion that money spent could be used to i'm prove present facilities of the School would have the endorsement of Teenagers if some schedule could ha worked out to make these fac ilities and improvements available to us after school hours, weekends and during summer as it planned for our organization.
 We are not trying to start an organization that will compete with the activities of these other esti-

of Maine demanded yesterday that
the Senate War Investigating Com
mittee act one way or another on
testimony by Representative Coffee.
Democrat, of Washington that Mr..
Coffee had accepted a $4,000 cam
paign contribution check from a war

September 26 meeting, to condemn
or commend" Mr.. Coffee for accept
ing the contribution. which the
Maine Senator said testimony showed
neither had been reported as taxable
income nor as campaign donation.
What Representative Coffee did
was either right or wrong" Senator
Brewster said. IF it was right, then
lot of other officeholders can do
the same thing and cash in that
way"
Mr.. Coffee said the check was to
meet deficit in a previous political
campaign and was not payment for
his aid in helping the contractor

CRESCENT CITY, Calf, Sept. ID.
AS fortune seekers moved into
this northwest corner of California
in quest of gold, old-time pros
pectorS began scoff1ng today at re-
ports that a remarkably rich vein
had been discovered north of here.
They wanted, they said, to see
further reports of assayers. They
demanded proof of the supposedly
high content of the Smith River
samples.
A persistent prospector, Tom
Cronin, SIS, reported his find this
week, In few days the county
clerks Office was jammed with per-
sons filing for claims.
The assayer who had run Mr..
Cronin's tests was quoted as saying
some samples ran as high as s75
a ton. Today, the Crescent City
Civic Club and some city officials
requested that public assay tests be
conducted to determine the true
value of the gold content of the
plateau land 18 miles to the north.
Some old-timers reported con-
siderable doubt. They suggested
assays made heretofore were not
the kind they were accustomed to,
but were made by special process.

his own name and couple more in
the names of relatives. Each claim
embraces 20 acres.
Frank Helton, publisher of the Del
Norte County Triplicate, said the
gold-bearing ore is in a surface clay
formation extending II to Is feet
deep and estimated at 10 to Is miles
long.
Back in the 70s and 80s gold was
found in such quantities in nearby
Hurdy- Gurdy Creek that mining
town sprang UP and f1ourished for a
while. Since then gold mining has
been virtually forgotten around
here except by individual prospec-
tors.
Mr.. Helton said apparently the
reason SO many prospectors had
missed the promising gold deposit
was that soil chemicals turned the
metal black SO that it was not dis
covered by simple panning Of the
dirt.
