CONGRESSIONAL FLYING

It develops that Louis Johnson the secretary of de- fense has intention of stopping free air travel for members of Congress Earlier because of his suggestion that certain Senators make trip from Cairo to Tokyo by private plane the idea spread through the land that the secretary of defense putting the economic pin on Congressional travel.
 There was some reaction in Congress, of course, where various committees planned trip abroad Natur- ally the Congressmen wanted to fly because of the speed of travel and because the cost ot travel would not be charged to the expenses o the committed The reaction was brought to focus by Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma who asked for accounting Ot all flights made at Air Force expense by President Iru- man. e-presdent Barkley and other administration officials including the secretary of defense himself The Oklahoman suggested that taxpayers might save money if these trips made by commercial airplane
 Thereupon, it was explained that Senator Thomas ap- parenty misunderstood the purpose of the Johnson pro- and the suggestion was likewise made that the secretary of defense had not been sufficiently pct The defense department point out that the air force is ready and willing to fly members of Congress wherever it has regular routes in operation and that in fact the necessary arrangements have already been made to fly some of the groups abroad.
 It seems that the secretary of defense concerned with the part of the Senatorial journey between Cairo and Tokyo, Wheer 1t has regular flying operation In addition, to the cheapneSS of trip by commercial air lne the defense department would not find itself in competition with those who operate the Cairo to Tokyo route.
 While there is some criticism of the trips which Con- gressmen take abroad, with the suggestion that they free junkets the possibility exists that the nation should encourage it's Congressmen, whenever
 time permits to become acquainted with conditions out side of the United States. Naturally the COngreSSmen are going to make the trip at their expense.
 It is also matter of general knowledge that ndivd uals do at times get free trips through the air in necton with the operation of defense service planes Ii COngreSsmen are to be denied such a perqulse, they naturally want to know whether administrative off, cias friends of those in the servce enjoy higher status than the Congressmen themselves.

What This Country
Needs
By Dixie Bill
The Educated Hillbilly

What this country needs Is fewer
party lines telephone gossips. With
half the talk some women put out
over the telephone they could get
themselves elected to Congress and
conduct a one woman filibuster.
There was a time when the
gossipy housewives and flibberty
jibblets draped themselves over the
back fence and acted as the town
criers. There was nothing too trivial
for them to talk about. If Minnie
Murgotord painted her toenails
green it would soon be all over
the town with the other girls as
green with envy as Minnie's toe
nails. There was nothing that a
gossip liked better than to sink
her teeth into some other gossip's
back when her back was turned.
If women really bit into the backs
they did backbiting there would
be some really bloody teeth.
Well, all that has changed now.
The gossips get on the telephone
just when everybody wants to use
it and begin their flibberty jibberty.
Yes, they know that Harriet Hot
sohot has a new dress and that
it doesn't match her last years hat
that has new ribbon on it. Yes,
the club had a meeting and they
went. They didn't get this or that
straight. Well, if they had a mil
lion dollars. The kids are making
so much noise they can't hear. No
it's the old man growing for some
thing to eat. No, they never should
have married the brute.
Well, if somebody else wants the
line that is too bad. But, Oh, Boy!
If you're on the line trying to get
the doctor or borrow five bucks
from Joe :. you never heard such
juggling of the receiver and dialing
as comes from the flibbery jibbit's
phone. You get off and You
said it . =. What does she talk
about to Mrs. Drival Somebody
was on the line and wouldn't get
off s. but I got them off :.
they can't talk all day. Imagine de-
scribing all the symptoms to the
doctor and him coming to
see the patient anyway. One thing
sure is certain a party line phone
is about as handy a gadget as a
crowded street car. It's there but
you can't get on it.

April IT, lSeS Editor Nome Nugget.
 Dear Sir:
 Supplementing my summary or the accomplishments of the 18th Legislature appearing in your last issue, many have asked me for q further clarification of several matters not fully explained.
 Teachers Salaries-S300.0 raise. This amount added to the Sl000.0O per teacher raise already made by the 1946 and 1947 Legislature, makes a total raise in three years of S1300.00 per year for all teach- CTS in the Territory.
 Equal Pay - This enactment calls for equal pay for all employ ed women doing similar or com parable work with men. Men here tOfore have been receiving higheI hourly pay. This change is applic- able mostly among cannery work CTS, in restaurants, hotels, mining camps, etc.
 Municipalities-Municipal mag istrates may appoint temporary magistrates for periods up to 50 days. Municipal elections are set for the first Tuesday in October, unless otherwise specified by the City Councils.
 Mayors may be elected for one, two, or three year terms. and councilmen for three years.
 Municipalities may levy a sales tax up to two per cent, provided that 55 per cent of the voters within the city give approval in a referendum vote.
 City Councils can now grant ex- elusive franchises, and. cities can now participate in the Federal Airport Program, also the pay of election clerks and judges was raised to Sl5.0O per day.
 School Boards can issue teach CTS contracts anytime after Jan uary first for the ensuing school year, and the Board must notify teachers who are not to be re- ta;ned, by March 18th.
 In addition to the S2,500, ,000.G0 for new school construction, S5.- 286953.30 was appropriated for the support of schools for the two year period ending June 30, 1851.
 The territory pays approximate ly seventy-five per cent of the cost of operation of schools within incorporated towns Cmunicipalj- ties), and one hundred per cent Of all other schools ruraD through out the Territory.

New Hospital Now Being Occupied
OContined from Page One)

Hclu d lleetlIlS TUT tiic pun PoSc Ol getting something started for an emergency hospital. Committees were named and funds began coming in, to the extent of nearly $l0,000. The emergency hospital, in the Alaska Native Service building, was completed in mat ter of days and the hospital staff moved in.
 In the meantime, progress was pushed to the utmost, to obtain the necessary funds to guarantee the big new hospital for Nome. Mrs. Stewart informed the City of Nome, the Nome Rotary Club and Dr. Tucker that plans were ready for contractors bids and that it was necessary to have the com plete amount of available funds ready. The City of Nome turned over to Mrs. Stewart check in the amount of S70,5O0, which was given over to the hospital fund through efforts of o. D. Cochrane. (since deceaseO, and H. C.. Ga , brielson, the executors of the es- tate of the late, Joseph Glen Me Dougall.
 In addition to the funds obtain ed, the Nome Rotary Club donated the site for the hospital, one com plete city block.
 Thus, it will be noted, Nome took more than a passing interest in the building of a modern up-to- the-minute hospital.
 In explanation further of the McDougall Memorial Fund. It was set aside from the estate of Joseph Glen "Cappy" McDougall former drug store owner of Nome. He died December 24, 1942, in the Maynard Columbus Hospital in Nome
 McDougall was born in Aspen, Colorado, July 4, 1892, and was brought to Nome as a young boy by his mother. He had his early schooling in the Nome Public School and worked evenings and Saturdays for Dr. E. E. Hill, who owned and operated a drug store. Young McDougall learned the drug business, and when death claimed Dr. Hill, in 1912, the drug store was willed to him. The drug business flouriShed until 1916. McDougall sold out to the Lomen Brothers when he was drafted for World War I.
 After returning to the United States he worked for several years in drug stores in Seattle and other coast cities, until 1894 when he again came to Nome. He entered the drug business on the main floor of the Odd Fellow Hall building.
 The great fire of September IT, 1884, which burned the entire business section of Nome, took his little drug business with it. He immediately set up a temporary store to take care of the necessary prescriptions until something per manent could be built. This he did in 1895.
 He continued in business until his death that Christmas Eve in 1922. At that time he had amassed nearly $80,000 from his little business, which he had stipulated in his will was to be used for the

 A former (F) correspondent in Tokyo, R. D. Hennessy, said in Portland, the quake gave me a much heavier shaking than most of the 50 or more tremors I went through during my three and a half years in Japan"
 An indirect casualty of the quake was Mrs. Florence Saun- ders, 60, of Tacoma.
 During the earthquake, dogs be- came excited and hoWled and parked. One of them bit Mrs. Saunders on both ankles.
 TACOMA, Wash. CPD-A huge section of a 3OO-foot cliff, appar- ently loosened by Wednesdays earthquake, plunged into Puget Sound a few miles north Of here early Saturday. A resulting eight foot wave hit the little community of Salmon Beach.
 The wave ripped out a private dock and ramp, smashed a mum ber of small boats and threw the community into panic. The water smacked against beach-side homes No injuries were reported.
 The slide, about half a mile long, was just north of the Salmon Beach community and about a mile and a half south of the tip of Point Defiance
 Mrs. John Bourgaize, boat house owner who was awakened by the roar, said the falling cliff showed out into the Sound about 500 feet. The slide drove water about 25 feet away from the beach vicinity. The wave slammed back in mat ter of seconds, Mrs. Bourgaize said.
 Besides the damaged dock and boats, number of water pipes along the dock area were torn out.
