Possibility that certain or the Southeast Alaska schools up to now maintained by the Alaska Native Service may open for the new school year under the juris- diction of the Territorial School System is revealed here in an an- nouncement by the ANS.
 Also affected are certain Field Nurse Stations in Southeast Alas ka, transfer of which to the Ter ritorial Department of Health is proposed.

 It is stated that, if petitions for transfer from the communities are received and contracts can be com pleted in Washington by fall, the schools may commence the new term under Territorial supervision.
 Groundwork for the transfer, the ANS office here says, was laid early in April when Dr. Beatty was in Juneau from Washington and conferred with Dr. Ryan. Dr. Beat ty has approved the program for present ANS schools in the region south of Cordova. The Alaska Ma tive Service will transfer to the Territory use-permit basis all school buildings, teachers quarters and equipment on hand at the time the change is effected.
