 clamoring for money to be routed via Washington for public schools college and university adminis- trators recently climbed on the band wagon and put in for their share. At a major conference of higher education in Chicago, Dr. Alonzo Myers of New York Uni versity proposed catch-all pro gram that would call for expend- itures dwarfing those in public school bills now in Congress.
 Among other things, this pro- gram would set up an "Educa- tional Reconstruction Finance e Corporation" AS a government project, this bureau would no doubt take bookkeeping lessons from REC and IVA. Both of these have tucked away millions of wasted tax dollars. Experts have said that it will be imposs- ible REC ever to account for all it's funds After this ERIC, we can expect other RFCs for any group that has enough power and votes to get the ear of Congress.
 Not to be outdone in the scram- ble, educators from several pri- vate colleges (not state-supporteO fought strenuously at the above mentioned conference for federal aid. Their impelling motives went like this: in any disposal of fed eral funds, we must not be neg lected! In other words, as long | as Washington is throwing the money around, you have nothing to lose to ask for your share.
 To me, all these things look like poor Americanism. Is this a gen. eration that runs to Washington | and Congress to receive cure for every ill that besets the commun- 1 ity? If our local people Estates | and communities haven't got the backbone to take adequate care of their educational problems, then for sure more money from the federal government will not remedy the situation. And that goes for Arkansas, too.
 But the nub of it is: local com munities have done plenty, still are doing things about local and state needs in education. I have no patience with those who hal low the internal propaganda ma chine in Russia and call it edu- cation. We have done more to ed ucate our youth than any Com | munist country ever will be able 1 to do-under Communism. There is nothing radically wrong with | American education. But there will be - if we hand over control to Washington.
 Another thing. Our states are steadily creating surpluses and are improving their financial cir cumstances. Not so the federal government. Ever increasing fin ancial burdens assumed by the federal government leave little hope of even cutting down on the $260 billion national debt. Why, then. must we pay toll by send ing our educa tional dollars

Com munists Swarminq Down on Cify-NafionaI
 Troops Face Destruction
By The Associated Press)

Communists in China thundered down upon jittery Ranking. Two Nationalist army groups tried to es- tatlish new defense line about 100 miles from the capital. The quar- ter million Nationalists at bypassed Suchow apparently were being prod ded into moving south to try and rescue the trapped 18th Army group of 10000 men near Suhsien.
 Nationalist armies were separ- ated into three pockets and threat ened with destruction. The Con- munists are superior numerically.
 Against this background, Mrs Chiang Kai-shek flew to Washing ton to plead for more help Presi- dent Truman and Secretary of State Marshall apparently have conclud- ed that any aid that would involve this country deeply in the Chinese war is out of the question.
 American authorities appear to have little confidence in the abil- ity of Chiang to make a comeback, regardless. of what help he gets.

OFFICE BLDG. I5 GOING TO
 BE ERECTED
20 Officers, B Enlisted Men Will Be Assigned
 Public Meeting Called

Headquarters of the 17th Coast Guard District will be established at Juneau, according to informa- tion received by the Juneau Cham Der of Commerce from the Con- mandant of the U. s. Coast Guard. 1 There is proviso which calls for approximately l4,000 square feet of office space and reasonable as- surance offered to house the per scnnel. Tn this connection, cur rent plans call for assignment of 20 officers. 30 enlisted men and seven civlnau employees.
 Since the recespI of the announce ment, the Juneau Chamber of Commerce has been in contact with Charles Goldstein and learned from him that he is unable to construct his building at this time. The Juneau Chamber had been planning to utilize Mir Goldsteins new building to provide the needed space for the Coast Guard.
 In that the success of establish ing the Coast Guard in Juneau de- pends upon office space, the Ju- neau Chamber, together with number of prominent Juneau busi- ness men, have drawn plans to erect special building, As a re- suit of these group meetings. the preliminary plans and the final prospectus are now ready for sub- mission to the Coast Guard author ities,
 AS a time limit of July has been tentatively set by the Com mandant, Admiral J. F. Farley, the Juneau group is acting as rapidly as possible and has called the first general meeting for Thursday af- ternoon at 4.30 D. m in the City Council Chambers. All ciyic-mind- ed individuals interested ill the con struction of the Coast Guard build ing are urged to attend
 It has been reliably estimated that the Establishment of the head quarters at Juneau will increase the payroll of Juneau by S500,00O. Such an addition would directly affect every business and profession.
 Such action hy the Coast Guard to locate in Juneau can be credit ed to the stalwart efforts of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce and its members, who despite the pre- vious base i'll Ketchikan and the active interest of the Ketchikan people, have convinced the Coast Guard of the advantages of Juneau.
 As far as the housing proviso is concerned, the Juneau Chamber is confident that this requirement is met It Is known that approxi- mately 30 ado .tional units will be available by next Spring.

SCHOOL NEED GREAT, RYAN TELLS KIWANI5
 AT NOON LUNCHEON
Anchorage, Fairbanks on Double Shift-Possi-
 biIity in Southeast

Not a single school in Alaska is without need, Dr. James c. Ryan, Territorial Commissioner of Educa- ton said this noon in an address to members of the Kiwanis Club at their luncheon meeting at the Bar anOf
 A conservative estimate of build ing needs for schools in the Terri tory totals at least million dol- lars, Ryan said.
 Anchorage and Fairbanks are now on a double shift program, with students taking only halliday in- struotion. Unless something is done almost immediately, Juneau, Ket- chikan and sitka will also be on the same program" Ryan warned.
 It's going to cost money to oper- ate schools if we want schools, the educator said. And, he added, it is going to be up to Alaskans to finance the cost. Little can be ex- pected for the Territory in the way of Federal aid for education, if pro- posed legislation does pass in Con- gress. The Federal education aid bill drafted during last session of Con- gress would have meant little more than $10,000 a year in Federal funds for the whole Territory of Alaska, Ryan said.
 The general education program in Alaskan schools is equal to that of any similar sized states and towns in the States, Ryan said. But funds must be made available to continue operation on high degree of ef- ficiency.
 Explaining education costs in AL aska, the Commissioner of Education said that about million dollars a year is spent in the g incorpor- ated school districts and ST rural schools.
 Cost per child per year for the 10000 children in Alaskan schools is approximately $500, Ryan said.
 One child in every eight is trans ported to and from school, he said. Transportation costs amount to about $14,0OO a month.
 Dr. Ryan was introduced to Xii wanians by Program Chairman Jud Husted.
 President Gene Vuille announced that MT. and Mrs. EcNey Guerin had volunteered to become club ad- visors for the Maf.ner Scouts.
 A meeting of the hoard of direc- tors will be held tonight at the of flee of Archie Bets at o'clock.

SNYDER SAYS
 COAST GUARD
 COMES HERE
Statement Made by Setre- tary of Treasury-Same
 as During War

WASHINGTON, Dec. l..-tRt- Secretary of the Treasury Shy der announced today the Coast Guard will re-establish separate Coast Guard District for Alaska, such as it maintained during the war.
 Other officials acknowledged that "delense considerations" played a part in the decision.
 Snyder said headquarters for the new Alaska 17th) Coast Guard District will be at Juneau, the seat of Alaska's government and headuarters of most U. S. agen- cies in that territory
 The importance attached to the establishment of the district was indicated by the fact that Snyder visited Alaska personally last sum- mer to confer with Gov. Ernest Gruening and take part in an on- the-spot survey being made of the project at that time.
 Since July l. l947, all Coast Guard activities in Alaska had been directed through the Coast Guards district headquarters at Seattle.
 The Treasury said in state ment the decision was reached af- ter a Board of Coast Guard off cers inspected the area and after Secretary Snyder visited the Terri tory last summer.
 It said the Board recommended that Juneau be selected as head quarters providing adequate office space could be made available
 It said the decision was reached after careful study of all factors involved including the fact that Juneau is Territorial headquarters tor most federal agencies operating in Alaska.
 The 17th District was abolished on July l. 1947. and since then all Alaskan Coast Guard activities have been under the jurisdiction of the Commander of the 18th Coast Guard District at Seattle
