Richerson Bend

Mrs. Homer Ratlif has been sick
for the past two weeks and was un-
able to see a doctor on account of
the bad roads. The residents of this
community have had no mail in
aoout three weeks and no school
buses to carry their children to
school. Our former supervisors kept
putting us off for five years. Now
our new supervisor is telling us the
same story. We all pay our taxes
Why can't we have a road like other
people? We hope to have better
mail service Or we will be forced
to take the matter up with the Post
master General.

Crew, Passengers Saved From Two Small Steamers

SEATTLE (P)-TWo more mid winter rescues from small Alaska steamers wrecked out to the westward, ,"-in waters west of Kodiak Island and along the Alas ka Peninsula saved upwards of a score of passengers and crew members today.
 The Is passengers and crewmen of the Aleutian Mail, all suffering from exhaustion and exposure, were taken off the beach and the grounded vessel by boat and salvage crew late yesterday, the coast guard cutter Cedar radioed.
 The Aleutian Mail had ground ed near Arch Point, on Unimak Island, early yesterday, and the self propelled army barge BSP 1927, turning to go to its aid also grounded and nearly met disaster. Floating free the barge's crew of approximately nine messaged at noon yesterday that the craft would stay afloat only an hour longer.
 Later, however, fishing vessels rescued those aboard and headed for Kings Cove, on the Alaska Peninsula. The army tug Bolster was to attempt to salvage the barge.
 Two salvage officers from the Cedar Lt., jg) E. w. Jackson, and Ensign William Page, and a boat l crew of Vincent Sherman, seaman 1/c; Russell E. Sparks, machin- ists's mate 3/c; Thomas Connor, pharmacists mate 3/c and Frank H. Steinheiser, gunner's mate 3/c, made the rescue, the Cedar mes saged
 All the government mail was also rescued from the beach and the Aleutian Mail, 263-ton wooden ship, was kedged off the beach at high tide and taken in tow by the Cedar for Sand Point on Popof Island, 50 miles away.
 The Cedar's skipper praised the excellent seamanship" and res

Draft Eisenhower Plan Will Stop COP Support

NGTON, (P) - Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower may risk any chance for the ultimate back ing of regular Republican organ izatiOns in several states if he fails to stamp out the independent Presidential draft movement now underway.
 The army chief of staff has said several times that he has no inter- est in politics. But thus far he has not otherwise repudiated moves by the Draft Eisenhower League to put delegates into a number of COP primaries.
 While this move has the back ing in New Hampshire of Senator Charles Tobey, Eisenhower en- thusiasts elsewhere seem likely to be drawn from persons outside of and often at odds with the regu- lar COP organizations in the states concerned.
 As case in point, one Republi- can in close touch with the Situa- ton said privately that Eisen- hover has had a better-than-fair chance for darkhorse support from the powerful Pennsylvania Republican organization at the June Philadelphia convention. But, this party member added, the general may forfeit that chance if he does not disavow inn mediately move in his behalf there.

 The dead were three passen- gers, the pilot and co-pilot. Three injured passengers and the flight were taken to Casualty hospital in Washington.
 Rain, slush, and muddy roads in the area hampered police and others in rescue work.

Territory Asks Reductions In Steamship Rates


 Alaska, 50 per cent to Gulf ports ! and 49 per cent to Boring Sea are possible under honest, economical and efficient management of steamship service to Alaska, the Territory contends in a brief filed with the U. s. Maritime commits sion on the basis of testimony pre- sented in the current inveStiga ton of the laWfulnesS of Alaska rates.
 At the same time, the Territory called for southbound rate reduc- tions of p per cent from South east, l3 per cent from the Gulf and Is per cent from Bering Sea ports.
 The Territory's brief, signed by Attorney General Ralph J. Rivers, special counsel Malcolm D. Mil Ter and economic consultant Don aid J. O'Connor, is one of six sub mitted to the commission to sum up evidence presented at the hear ing concluded at Seattle two months ago.
 Rate reduction proposals are made on the basis of a cost study from voyage expense data filed i by carriers with the commission. Even if the companies serving Alaska were not subsidized by the Federal government, as at pres ent, reductions of l9 per cent in rates to Southeast Alaska, 38 per cent to the Gulf and 21 per cent to Boring Sea would result from proper scheduling, loading and operating of ships, the Territory contends.
 Mere comparison of revenues , and expenses cannot result in proper determination of a rate case" the brief declares. Reason able rates are not based upon cost plus arithmetic. Profits can be controlled by management use of efficient or inefficient operational methods to suit the need for show ing profits or lack of profits. The problem of the maritime com mission in this case, we contend, is that of setting rates so that the carriers will be required to oper- ate efficiently; then perhaps there would be some relationship be- tween actual expenses and reason ableness of the rates"
 The Territory also argues that the present schedule of Alaska rates is preferential of "cannery" traffic and prejudicial to town" freight traffic, pointing out that in the1947 rate increases town freight rates were increased by much greater amounts in dollars per ton than fishing rates" The result, according to the brief, is that "the government is now sub sidizing .. an already prosperous cannery industry, which has been selling it's product at highly in- Hated prices, while the consumer in Alaska must pay not only the imitation of living costs, but also the unnecessary imitation of town freight rates which are very high"
 The Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, in a brief also filed with the commission, asks that "the same ratio of rates now established be- tween freight of the canned sal mon industry and town freight be

Gov. Munoz Marin Tells
His Plans For P. r.
New Governor To Prepare Island For
independence Or Possible Statehood

Luis Munoz Marin, first pop
ularly elected governor of
Puerto Rico, said on Wednes-
day, he will ask the United
States Congress to permit the
islands to write its own con-
St1tution.
He also will urge that the
United States promise to grant
to Puerto Rico independence
or statehood whenever the PEG
pie feel they are rady and ask.
for it.
The candidate of the popular.
Democratic party, Mr.. Munoz
Marin was elected in a land
slide that gave the party over
whelming control of both
houses of the insular Legisla-
ture.
He told reporters that, in ac-
cordance with the party's plat
form, his administration would
concentrate for the next few
years on building up the is
land, industrially and other
wise, to reach an economic
position where it could ask the
United States for indepen-
dence or statehood. The party
platform favored temporary
continuation Of Puerto Rico
as a territory Of the United
States until such position was
attained.
Mr.. Munoz Marin was for
mally congratulated by Martin
Travieso, gubernatorial nomi-
nee of a coalition of the State
hood, Socialist and Reformist
