child, and child cannot hate as
an adult hates.
Debby had the qualities so de-
ligntful in children. She was
simple, loving and full of
secrets" She lived in a world
of play-land and liked nothing
better to do than tell stories or
have stories told to her. She
loved games, and even when she
was dying she felt that she had,
at last, found a place to hide
the graveyard. Debby was some
times trying on grown peo-
pies" nerves, but only because
they did not understand her.
They usually left her alone if
she did her work and did no
harm to any one. She was not
intelligent, but she had some
thing that many people envy
the ability to be content with
what she had.
don't mean that Debby never
wanted anything, because she
did. She wanted to be loved and
she wanted a red dress. This
dress meant a great deal TO her
because her husband, Thomas,
promised to bring one back to
her from the war, but he never
came back. Throughout her life
Debby dreamed about this dress,
but she never got it.
When the Merrills' Oldest
daughter brought her fiance
home to dinner for the first
time, Debby decided that she
would dress her best. She took
a bath, which was filled with
sweet-smelling powder, and put
on her best dress and all her
"jewelry.' She felt so proud be.
cause she knew that the Merrill
children would also be proud Of
the way she looked.
But when the guests first
looked at her, they began to
snicker and stare. Anyone else
but Debby would have been
deeply hurt by this, but she only
thought that people who laughed
at other people were not taught
how to behave properly.
But her life was not always 50

Revised ACS
 Telegraph Tariffs Start Jan. l, 1851

In the past few years the ACS has entered into agreement with the greatest possible number of connecting line companies as pos sible to make available to the gen. eral public the most complete communications to everyone. By means of these agreements with connecting lines the ACS has af- forded the people of Alaska with immediate access to the telegraph network of the system, and through the system, to all com- munication points of the world and in most instances at no addi- tional cost to the customers.
 The demands of the connecting lines for increase revenue and in some instances due to increase operating and labor costs has brought forth the fact that on some routings and on all night letter routings that the ACS is not receiving a sufficient percen- tage of revenue.
 During the past year survey has been conducted and the fol- lowing facts have been found:
 The base rate for nightletter should be increased to allow the ACS to receive proportionate share of tolls on each message, with a reduction in extra word rates to partially compensate therefore.
 The day message and day letter extra word rates should be re- duced.
 A reduced base rate should be made available for messages be- tween neighboring points Qess than 100 miles aparD and for mes- sages exchanged with other line stations
 There will be therefore a small increase in rates from every ACS

Will Make Last Big Push To Get Vote On Statehood Bill
(By c. Milton KellY)

WASHINGTON, (P)-Stung by Republican taunts, administration forces in the Senate planned last big push today to get vote on Statehood for Alaska.
 Mostly they conceded the fight was hopeless, and to many observ- CTS the Alaskan bill-along with a similar one for Hawaii-looked like lost cause.
 But Senator O'Mahoney, who led the fight, stuck to a declara- ton that he will not concede de- feat, and that he hasn't abandon ed hope.
 The House has passed both measures, and Senate approval would send them to the White House for signature. President Truman has urged that they be passed.
 Senator Gordon R.-Ore0 told the Senate Friday before its week end recess that with the exception of O'Mahoney. its Democratic leadership has fought only feebly for the statehood bills.
 Gordon and Senator Morse, also an Oregon Republican, criticized a Southern Democratic bloc which so far has kept the issue from coming to a vote. They did not mention some Republican support the Dixie group has received.
 They spoke after Senator Lucas D.-IllD, the majority floor lead CT, had ordered the statehood bills set aside today to make room for a rent control bill, unless there is some hope they can be passed.
 Lucas was reported planning a final appeal to the Southern group to "let this bill come to a vote" He has denounced their tactics as a filibuster.
 The issue has become ensnarled in parliamentary procedures un- der which objection by even one Senator can prevent it from com ing up for a vote, and the South ern group keeps an objector con- stantly available.
 O'Mahoney told a reporter he has had a map of Alaska prepar- ed, with maps of the Scandinavi- an peninsula, Finland and Den

MOnOdYs DeCemOer A. 1SSU
 (By The Associated Press)
 United Nations troops, battered by an ever-growing Chinese com munist army, faced a worsening crisis today in their headlong re- treat southward in Korea.
 The Allies were withdrawing from Pyongyang. the North Ko- rean capital they captured Oct. 20. Field dispatches said the U. s. 9th Army might set up defense perimeter around Seoul, South Korean capital.
 There did not appear to be enough U. N. troops in Korea to set up a new defense line across the Korean peninsula.
 The whole U. s. 10th Corps was endangered in the frozen north east. Five U. N. divisions were driving towards the escape port of Hungnam. But they were heavily outnumbered. Marines and dough- boys were caught in deep enemy traps.
 General Macarthur estimated the Chinese communists have an 818,O00-man army in North Korea adn along the Manchurian bound ary either in action or ready for it against the United Nations. An other 100000 Chinese are moving to the area from central China. Thus China appears to have com- mitted one-fourth of her 100000 man total military strength.
 The U. s. Chief of Staff--Gen. J. Lawton Collins conferred with MacArthur about the crisis and then flew on to talk with commanders in the field.
 The appearance of more and more Chinese communists in the "new war" threatened the entire U. N. position on the Korean pc ninsula.
 U. s. Marines made a bloody 12- mile retreat on the west side of the Changjin reservoir. The Fifth and Seventh regiments reached Hagaru, joining elements of the U. s. Seventh Infantry Division which escaped Red trap on the east side of the reservoir. Casual ties weer heavy.
 To the southeast an estimated 45,OOO Chinese were reported massing for a drive on Hamhung and it's port city of Hungnam. Ad- vance Chinese units .weer reported 15 miles from Hamhung.
 There were no reports from the South Korean Capital and Third Divisions which had been pushing up the northeast coast toward the Soviet border when last heard from.

Budget Board OK's Biennial Estimates For $2O,l28,3ll.28
(Juneau Empire)

partmentS and boards tOtallng $IU, 128,311.28 for the 1951-53 biennial period have been approved by the Territorial Budget Board it has been revealed.
 The board estimated tax and miscellaneous revenues under cur rent tax laws for the same period at $19,56O,750.00, leaving a deficit of $567,561.28.
 The three major expenditures are CD Education, $11, ,540,882. TO-; @ Public Welfare $3,709, ,909.34 Public Health, $1,159,720.00. These three departments estim- ates constitute about 80 per cent : of the total budget estimates. Estimates for the 49-51 biennial period totaled about $17, ,4O3, ,341.24 and anticipated revenues totaled approximately $6,640,0O0.O0. The increase in anticipated rev. enues for the next two years is effected in great part from tax laws passed by the Nineteenth Leg islatures and the Special Session called in January 1949. Greatest sources of revenue estimates are Department of Taxation, $18,239,- 25O.OQ; Auditors office, $4OO,O0O; School Tax, $460,OOO; Net Liquor Tax, $230,000.00; Alaska Game Commission, $1O5,0O0.OO.
 The Budget Board pointed out that it has not felt that requests from administrative officers for staff promotions and salary in- creases to be within its province, considering them instead matters for Legislative determination. Ac- cordingly, the following estimates mt include provision for .em- ployees' salary increases or pro- motions, which matters are sug- gested for separate consideration by the Legislature. This position is taken by the Board of Budget both in recognition of last practice by the Legislature and in view of the Nineteenth Legislature having di- rected the Territorial Board of Administrations to prepare recom- mendations concerning a uniform graduated salary schedule for Ter ritorial employees.
 The board suggests that the Twentieth Legislature might well consider measures for improve ment in the statutory provisions governing the functions of the Boar dof Budget toward giving succeeding legislatures and the Territory at large the benefits to be derived from a modern budget control esrvice. The provisions, it tsates, have been outgrown by the Territorial government. The Board has not the facilities to make the specialized studies and to give the close scrutiny to es- inmates that are available to most states and to the Federal govern ment through full time budget control agencies.
