SCHOOL BUS MONEY FALLSSHY ASExTRA
 PUPILS JAM ROOMS

With one school child in seven throughout the Territory taken to classes by bus, one such ride be- ing g miles each way, the appro- criation for transportation is go- ing to fall S70,000 in the hole for the biennium, it was announced today by Dr. James c. Ryan, com- missioner of education.
 The Territory is paid up in it's debts to the transportation pool to March l, he said Sums are just beginning to arrive in his office for March, and cannot be totalled for presentation to the Treasurer until later.
 The Territorial Board of Edu- cation was granted $3O0,OO0 for its transportation budget by the last legislature, the exact sum they had asked.
 This was an increase over the previous biennium, but school pop ulation increased faster than the board expected. There are now more than TOO extra students clam boring aboard their school buses each morning now than last year and last year was far above the previous school term.
 Almost 2,00O children ride to and from classes each day. Dr. Ryan has contracts with bus com panies for $1S5,000 a year, $35,00C

a year more than was estimated
 He is allowed to shift funds in his various budgets the last six months of each biennium, and this year he must shift to make up the deficiency on the transportation side.
 He feels he will not have to ask for deficiency appropriation, as other budgets in his care are com ing out with funds left over, thus allowing him to take care of the extra burden.
 The 22-mile ride for the Terri tory's record ride each morning and afternoon is from Eklutna to Anch- orage, Dr. Ryan said. Last year there was 36-mile ride in the same vicinity, but this was split in two, because the long ride was working hardships on the young sters.

CHAMBER BACKS UP HALIBUT FISHERIES ON OIL IMPORTS

The Juneau Chamber of Con- merce has sterped behind the local halibut fleet in an effort to stop the price-breaking effect of i'm ports of foreign vitamin oils.
 A letter has been prepared by the organizations local industries committee charging that volume imports of cheap oil" have destroy ed a good market and price" for the by-products of the halibut fish cries.
 It was approved at the Chamber meeting today and will be sent to pr. w. M. Chapman of the branch of the State Department which deals solely with international fish cry problems.
 Pointing out that the 65 percent drop in the price paid for halibut livers and viscera which is ex- pected this year as the result oi cheaply produced imported oils will destroy our local fleet" the message suggests as an alternative the placing of these oil-exportine countries on a quota for the United States and, if this is not adequate, to protect them further by way of tariff application on imports.
 An official of the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, termed the vitamin oil problem "an international prob lem which has landed square in the middle of the Juneau boat harbor. '
 He said he has found that many halibut fishermen consider the probable 1850 price for halibut vis- cera-15 cents per pound-makes handling the viscera economically impractical.
 Somewhere we must draw the line in helping foreign countries" he said.
 The investigation of the effecs if importation of Canadian dairy procrc:s being carried out by the local industries committee was not ready to be reported to the Cham Der today.

POINT 4pLAN CUT WOULD SPREAD RED ASIA MOVE: ACHE5Ok
CBy the Associated Prcss)

(By the Associated Frcss)
 Secretary of State Acheson told Congress today that any cut in the $45,000000 asked for President Tru- mans Point Four" program would have unfortunate results on efforts to check Communism in Asia.
 Tt would undoubtedly be in terpreted by the peoples of the free countries of Asia, the Middle East and other underdeveloped areas as indicating lack of interest in a program upon which they have been putting very great hopes" he said.
 Acheson went before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to argue for the program program ot American technical aid to raise pro- duction methods and living stand ards in backward areas of the world The plan got the name Point Four from President Truman's listing ot it in his inaugural address last year
 The Senate group is considering the proposal at time when Ache son is reported to be trying to draw Great Britain and France into q united front against the spread ot Communism in Asia.
 Acheson told the Senators that the $45,000.000 figure is a careful estimate of what is needed for the 12 months beginning July 1.
 Acheson and Rowing Ambassador Philip c. Jessup gave confidential report to the Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee on the Asian trouble center yesterday.
 At recent British Common wealth Foreign Ministers conference at Colombo, Ceylon. British coun- tries worked out a similar aid pro- gram and urged American support.
 The Truman administration, seek ing to fit the Point Four program into it's overall Anti Communist global plan, has asked Congress for $45,000. 900 to get the ball rolling. Thus far the Congress has shown no great enthusiasm for the idea.

GOLD SHOULDER TO
 VETERANS PLEA FOR
 $100,o00 'DEFR05T'

The four-man Alaska World War II veterans board, meeting in Ju- neau this week with Veterans Af- fairs Commissioner Floyd Guertin. have received the cold shoulder from the Board of Administration in request for s100,000 in frozen funds.
 The board was voted $1,2OO, O,OOO by the 1949 Legislature to broaden loans for veterans homes and businesses to add to their revolving fund set up by sales tax. but they were cut off by the "big freeze" of last June when the Territory went in the red.
 The money was to be granted at $50.000 monthly on loan basis, to be paid back starting in 1856.
 Guertin had previously asked the board, which froze all special ap- propriations. for $35O,O0O, but was turned down. This was in January, before tax money began to roll in and funds started to ease.
 Meet Ends Today
 The veterans board, composed of Chairman John s. Hellenthal, Rob- ert Ellis, Roland Brousseau ana Wallace Cathcart Jr., winds up it's first meet of 1850 today after a three-day session.
 First effort they made after get ting together on budget and policy matters for the coming year, was to go before the Board of Adminis- tration and ask for $100,O00, toning down their original request. The sum due them now stands at s550 .000-which is at the rate of s50.000 monthly since the legisla- ture made the appropriation.
 After hearing their plea, letter was received from the administra- tion board, signed by John Dimond. for Attorney General J. Gerald Will Hams. The letter said the financial picture lat this time is not clear, and in view of this. it is impossible to say if your funds can be un- frozen"
 The board last week "defrosted" more than $260,O0O to other agen- cies when they found approximately half million dollars would be left over after banks and vouchers were paid off. The Veterans Affairs board wanted some of this.
 Dimond's letter didn't shut the department out completely, however. He goes on to say that within the next few weeks the Treasurer hopes to obtain from the tax commis- sion detailed statement as to the mount of revenue which can be anticipated by the Territory for she rest of the year, and at that time the Board will be better able to advise you if funds can be re- leased"
 In answer to this, the Veterans Board expressed keen diSappoint- ment" at their turn-down.
 The answer reviewed activities of the veterans group since it's incep- tion, and said:
 Unless a substantial portion of the money is released immediately. many veterans will be denied the opportunity to purchase homes oi initiate business ventures the program will be stagnated for an- other year at least, if funds are not made available"
 The letter also points out that the Territory's development "is being drastically curtailed" by having the money hung up, and pleas for re- consideration of the decision to leave the sum in the deep freezer

ernor as saying, Tt looks like book keeping errors--I see nothing crim- inal here"
 The committee demanded the presence of the Treasurer, threat ening to bring in the US. Marshal, and finally received the Treasurer's s written resignation. He did not go into the subsequent arrest and trial of Oscar Olsen, the Treasurer.
 Whitewash Attempt
 Butrovich, continuing his account of the audit, cracked at Governor Gruening's recent Jefferson-J Jack son Day speech at Fairbanks which contained, he asserted, an effort by the governor to whitewash the whole affair by shifting the blame to the voters who elected Olsen to office.
 Nevertheless" Butrovich said, 'the governor campaigned in 1942 and again in 1946 for the election of his same Treasurer And don't for ret that the Treasurer's name was on every voucher. authorized or unauthorized, and that is excellent campaign material"
 This whole thing was easy for mel am a Republican" Butrovich said Tt was not so easy for the other member of the committee, Representative James Nolan of Wrangell, who is a Democrat. He is, however, a good man and a con- scientious one and he performed his duty on the committee in a com mendable manner"
 Butrovich lashed out, too, at the governors long absence from the Territory at the time the audit was being made-"when he should have been here to extend some measure of confidence to the taxpayers, who badly needed it."
 At Own Expense
 Although Senator Butrovich made no mention of committee expenses, Representative Doris Barnes of Wrangell, who spoke after him. pointed out to the assembled dele- gates that both Butrovich and No Ian made two trips to Juneau in connection with the audit, both trips entirely at their own expense.
 The statement brought a round of applause from the delegates. Mrs. Barnes, who is Republican candi- date for reelection to the House, drew another round of applause when she lauded the people of Point Barrow for their recent vote re. jecting a proposed reservation in that area. '
 Speaking briefly on the subject How and Why Alaska Republicans Will Win" this morning were Mrs Helen Brosius, Carl Heinmiller, Al. bert White, William L. Paul, Sr., Cyril zuboff and Mrs. Mildred Her mann.
 Committee work engaged the at- tention of good many of the dele gates last evening and this morning. Additional committee appointments include Sandy Stevens of Juneau to the Policy and Platform Committee and Mark Jacobs of Sitka to the Campaign Committee.
 Committee reports were expected to have the attention of the dele gates during the afternoon session today The final order of business will be the nomination of & Ma tional Committeeman for Alaska.
 There appeared to be no doubt but that Austin E. Gap" Lathrop will fill the position Mrs. Margaret E. White. Republican National Con- mitteewoman for the past Is years, was slated to make the nomination.
 Cap Lathrop arrived in Juneau by plane yesterday afternoon and
