mann has on occasion been ex- tremely critical of the Alaska Legis- lature and some of her sharpest criticism has been directed at eff forts to pare the budget and de- crease expenses. We must, then, take her statement pretty much at it's face value: Alaskans can gay the cost of statehood, although to do so they may have to go on sub-standard diet and wear sack cloth.
 Review of Costs To review Hermann on Cost of Statehood: Three years ago, when territorial government was costing around five million year, she estimated the cost of state govern ment at between seven and eight million dollars. At the same time she labeled as ridiculous an es- innate of $1O,500,O00 a year for state government operation.
 Now, in 1850, with the cost of running the Territory up to S8,250,- GOO tplus another two million or so that Mrs. Hermann says was capital expenditure and not an ex- pense item) she has raised her sights to $12.49l ,00O for state oper- ation. This is 50 percent increase over territorial costs and more than 50 percent above her previous estimate.
 Other Witnesses
 Other witnesses at the statehood hearing had some ideas on prob- able cost. Bob Ellis of Ketchikan estimated a 25 percent increase over the cost of territorial govern- ment. And a number of witnesses asserted that Alaskans are able, willing and even eager to assume whatever tax burden is necessary to pay for statehood.
 They have just begun to tax themselves in Alaska, in the full sense," said Secretary Chapman. Our tax system, said George Sundborg, "even after the enact ment of the basic taxes at the last session, still provides what l be- lieve is the most modest levy in any State, and there is still abund- ant room to use other sources of revenue without hurting anybody"
 MT. w. c. Arnold, listed as an opposition witness, reclted some figures and estimated about sixteen million dcllars the annual cost of state government if the roads are maintained and if Alaska takes full advantage of the Federal High way Act Ga matching fund arrange ment) for the construction of new roads.s
 The sixteen million dollar figure, said Mrs. Hermann, lis completely fantastic.
 What is statehood going to cost? We'll there has been a lot of guessing. You can take your pick, or you can do your own guessing.

HADLEYS DEPART AFTER

MT. and Mrs. Jim IiadIey. of Kirkland, Wash, left Juneau Sun day after spending two weeks visit ing their daughter and family, MT and Mrs. William Elsner and child ren.
 The Hadleys, who were employed at Mt. Edgecumbe last fall, went back to Kirkland in January, leav- ing their car in Juneau. They re- turned here two weeks ago by plane, and Sunday went to Haines from where they will drive to Anchorage and Fairbanks and then travel down the Alaska Highway to Fort Benton Montana, where they will visit a son and his family, before returning to Kirkland.

come state is not a proper charge against a subsequent ad- ministration."
 We are confident that the Fed eral government will recognize that and take appropriate action,' Mrs Hermann said
 Tt is not a question of confi- Gence; it is a question of whether you have provision in the law, Senator Anderson retorted.
 Balanced Budget
 To pay for the additional cost of statehood, Mrs. Hermann took the $1,750,000 surplus" in the treasury plus S950,000 to come from the sealing industry, S300,000 from proposed increase in the tobacco tax, and some other income from various sources.
 Senator Anderson got busy with his pencil ard announced that the proposed budget was still out of balance by about S920,000 a year.
 
 T would hate to suggest that your addition is wrong there, Sen- ator," said Mrs. Hermann, but that budget was completely bal anced when I gave it to you"
 She quickly appologized for an oversight, however, and cleared up the discrepancy by saying. What I have left out is a statement that we would have to have additional taxation for that amount of mon ey"
 Specifically, Mrs. Hermann said, S850000 could be found by doubling the motor fuels tax.
 That would balance it." Senator Anderson admitted. "Of cousre, by that theory you could keep adding a million here and five million there"
 Room For More
 We have room for more taxes if we need them" Mrs. Hermann said during her testimony. But we do not think we are going to need any particular amount of taxes under this"
 It was perhaps in support ot the latter statement that Mrs. Her mann delivered what has been widely called the let-'em- -eat-beans speech
 What she actually said was: If we cannot buy steak, we will eat beans. We will fit the pattern to the cloth. If we cannot make the kind of a dress we want, we will make one that will cover us any way, and we are perfectly willing to pull in our belts and do without some things for the purpose of statehood"
 There is a possibility, of course, that the witness did not mean her statement literally. She could have had in mind the cutting down of some governmental expenses in AL aska. The evidence, however, is against this supposition. Mrs. Hr-

W l I H

An experiment has been conducted at
 the Matanuska Experiment Station on
 grain to determine the effect of
 fertilizer on the lodging, grain
 quality and yields of straw and
 wheat. Calculated yields per acre
 are based on he standard weights of 50 lbs. per bu. Marked differences
 in lodging, grain quality, end yields
 of straw and grain were obtained.
 "ith grain yields the sharp break
 was between the treated and the un-
 treated check plots. All but the 5e-9O-3O fert ilizer treatment yielded
 significa cantly moro than the check
 plot. The unfertilized check plot
 yielded 3l.5 bushels per acre. .Com-
 pairing the different fertilizer
 treatments, none were signi cantly different in grain yield. The high
 est yielding treatment, 45-6O-5O,
 averaged 43.5 bushels per acre, but resulted in 76 perc cent lodging and
 "a test weight per bushel of only 55.e lbs. Tho check plot was lodged Is
 per cent enc tho weight per bushel was 55.7 lbs. Most fertilizer treat mBnts resulted in increased straw
 yields. This in turn may have been responsible for the heavy lodging generally observed in the fortilized plots.
 The only fertilizer treatment which resulted in no more lodging than the check or WAS not inferior in grain quality as indexed by test weight ger bushe1, and at the same time signie- icantlJ aighor in grain yield, was the lO-20-lQ treatment. It yielded 25 per cent more grain of at least as good quality.

The secret is to use modern
building materials and a decora-
tive trick or two. In a finished at
tic recently featured by nation
al publication, insulating boards
were used to cover the walls and
ceiling. These boards cover large
areas economically, can be put up
quickly and have the added ad-
vantage of insulating as they
build.
The joints where the boards met
were covered with three-inch
wood holdings to give a paneled
effect. Together with the wood
work and doors, these holdings
were enameled a cream color,
slightly deeper than the insulat-
ing board finish. An unpainted
desk, bookcase and other furnish
ings were similarly treated. A
built-in bunk with handy shelves
and utility drawers were fitted in
under one of the sloping walls.
In finishing an ttic, one of the
first things to do is to plan the
placing of the walls and ceiling
SO that the slope of the roof can
be fitted into the room design.
This means that the sidewalks
should be set out far enough to
provide vertical rise of at least
four feet. That is plenty for the
average person when seated. The
center area, however, should be
approximately seven feet high. 4

Like most true scientists, Proctor
declined to make generous predic-
tons as to the success of his drug
on human beings but results Of Ia
boratory work with 100 mice gave
encouragement to research men and
new hope for sufferers of polio.
Proctor broke with the usual pat
tern of polio research nearly two
years ago by leaving the field Of
animal serums and concentrating on
the use of sulfa drugs. He worked
with sulfa compound known as
Observation-Disclosures. To launch the
experiment, Proctor and his assoc.
late, C. l.. Byrd, 32-year-old Cali
fornia Negro, infected 80 mice with
the deadly Lansing strain" polio.
Seventy-one of these animals sur
vived after treatment with the
Proctor compound.
AS a control measure, he infect.
ed 80 others with the same polio
strain. but did not use the sulfa
compound. Only one survived.
However, this overwhelming sue
cess with his sulfa development has
not made him over anxious to use
it on human beings. Experiments
with the monkey are next on the
agenda. Proctor points, out that
monkeys respond to polio in a man.

works on monkeys, Proctor and
