handsome profits, subletting

Cheap paper was used. De-

Dissension arose between

parties, with harsh accusa-
tions of fraud over the costly,
unsatisfactory printing serv-
ice. In 1919, Congress, seeking
reform, began electing two
printers each session. Eager

vote-seeking rallies that en-

The cost of public printing,
which by then included de-
partmental documents, re-
manned excessive. A reputable
printer in 1852 offered-and
contracted-to perform Post
Office printing 50 per cent
cheaper. Another admitted
paying elected printers $780,

protest became vehement.

Defensively, printers claimed

Truman Wants Enlarged JobIess Benefit Plan

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman got a mixed and uncer- tain reception on Capitol Hill to- day for his new proposal to D blanket 6,OOO,OOO more workers under employment insurance and C2p pay bigger benefits to the job less for a longer time.
 MT. Truman cited an average of nearly 4,5OO,OOO unemployed this year and said prompt action is urgent
 Democratic leaders were not en- thusiastic at the prospect of put ting the plan through Congress this year, however, and some Re publicans signalled that they are ready to do battle against it.
 Tn a special message to Congress from Key West, Fla, the President asked:
 1. A S30-a-week nationwide minimum in jobless pay, plus ad- ditionaI money for dependents, with these payments forthcoming for each unemployed person, if needed, for 26 weeks. The various States now determine the size and duration of payments Benefits vary bY States from Sl5 to S27, and duration of benefits runs from l2 weeks in some States to 26 in others.
 ?. That the taxes on employers be increased to carry the enlarged program. The employer now pays the tax on the first S3,G00 of an individual workers pay. MT. Tru- man proposes to tax the employer on the first 4,8OO instead. The tax ranges up to 3 per cent.
 The 6,OO0,OOO new workers blan- keted under the program, if it is approved, would bring the total of covered workers to about 36,O00,- GOO.

Easter greetings are sent here and there, For many folks who live sound and fair, To each other some people will send, A thank you gift from ones old friend. Easter is coming with all it's glory and splendor, Of joys and sorrows and things to remember, For of this day as yet to come, In a way it's like Love. as one loves one. Easter is cheerful in more ways than one, Easter is the heart of every mothers son, Easter is the time that some folks will pray, B'cause-Easter's the time, we should be thankful some way. So on this glorious Easter Day, May I send Easter greetings your way? Greetings that are full of many a cheer, That will last each of you through out the year!

road system where possible, but this is obviously a very long range objective in most cases, as ex- treme distances and lack of pop ulation may make it impractic- able to do so.
 The project for a car ferry serV- ice through southeastern Alaska to link the continental highway and railroad at Prince Rupert with Ketchikan, Wrangcll, Petersburg, Juneau, Haines, and SkagWay is still only in the study stage.
 It is the objective of the Alaska Road Commission to connect all parts of Alaska with each other and with the adjacent regions of Canada. Studies are continuously being made and negotiations car ried on to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of efficient low cost motor transportation. Probably no region in the world, and certainly not in the United States, has more of these obstacles due to topography, climate, and international boundaries than has Alaska.

Weer paved with light bitumin- ouS surface. Contracts have all ready been let using available funds for the paving of over 200 miles more in 1850. By the end of the year it is hoped that paving will be completed on the Glenn Highway from Anchorage as far as Sheep Mountain; from Fair { banks as far as Big Delta; from Haines to the Canadian border; and other short pieces. By the end fthe year much additional paw ing work will be under way. This will include completion of sur facing of the Glenn Highway and considerable paving on the Rich , ardSon Highway out of Valdez and between Copper Center and Big Timber Lodge.
 New road construction will in clude completion of the Sterling Highway connecting Homer and Kenai with Seward. This high way, which was opened to traf- fife during the past winter over the frost, requires grading and surfacing with gravel before it will be suitable for summer travel from end to end. Appropriate i ceremonies are planned this sum mer when its construction has been completed.
 Construction is rapidly progress on the new road to connect An chorage with Seward and the Ke- mai Peninsula. Along Turnagain l Arm the entire project is under contract and it is hoped that by the end of 1850 this road can be opened to limited traffic from end to end.
 Construction will continue upon the new road extending nOrthWard from the Alaska Highway to Chic ken, Jack Wade, and Eagle.
 Construction will comme this spring upon a new road to eX- tend from PaXSOn'S on the Rich ardson Highway to Cantwell on The Alaska Railroad and Mt. Me Kinley National Park
 Surveys of new roads will be completed this year from Fair banks to Nenana and for extend ing the airport road from Metla- katla to the head of Annette Is land, opposite Ketchikan. A new survey will be made of a road from LiVengood to the vicinity of Eureka and Manlcy Hot Springs, looking toward the ultimate link ing of this important mining, agri- cultural, and recreatiOnal district with the main highway system. Surveys already completed in clude those of a road from Fair banks to Cinema Hot Springs, and Naknek Village to Naknek Air field. These projects are awaiting appropriation of funds for con struction.
 Reconstruction of the road from Nome to Council will be carried to completion during 1850. All of the other roads around Nome, and the Seward Peninsula Tram Road, will be maintained to suit the needs of traffic. New roads from Nome to Solomon and from Colo win to White Mountain have been surveyed, but funds for their con- struction, though requested, have not been included in this years appropriation.
