VALE S0MMERS BID I5 ACCEpTED,
 NEW SCHOOL BLDG.

The alternate estimate of S578,- 294 entered by the Halle and Som mers Construction Co: of Seattle, low bidders for the construction of the new Juneau Public Grade School building near Twelfth Street and Glacier Highway, were accepted by the Juneau Independent School Board of Directors at a meeting held last night to open bids for the project, in the office of Super intendent of Schools Sterling Sears.
 The base bid entered by the Valle and Sommers firm was STAB, 3,657Oo, which exceeds by S143,65700 the S600,00000 fund presently available for the job. The Sommers of the firm is R. J. Sommers. Juneau con- tractor.
 In view of the fact that all base estimates entered by the six con- struction companies bidding on the job exceeded the funds available for the project, the alternate bids entered by each company for lesser construction were considered by the School Board. It was agreed by the Valle and Sommers Construc- ton Co. and the School Board that a period of 40 days will be allowed for acceptance of the original base bid. It is believed that it may be possible that additional funds can be obtained in that time for the entire structure provided for in the base bids, Superintendent Sears said.
 Plans under the alternate bid pro- vide for a two-story building, TIC feet long and 67 feet wide to con- tain 13 classrooms.
 The original plans under the base bid provide in addition to the two- story building an adjoining one story structure to house two kind ergarten class rooms. a cafeteria room for the school nurse and office space. Total length of the entire building would be 274 feet and the width 67 feet.
 First plans for the structure abandoned because of lack of funds provided for gymnasium tWt stories in height.
 The construction work is sched. uled to start May l and the speci.

JOSEPH CASEY. REFUSES GIVE.
 TESTIM 0 N Y.

WASHINGTON, March 28 -R- Joseph E. Casey, former Congress member who has told of making $250,00O on S2O,OOO investment in buying ships from the government, refused today to give Investigating senators any more details about it.
 In the witness chair of the Sen ate Banking Subcommittee, Casey declined specifically to say who were the others in on the big profits deal, but insisted it was wholly above criticism"
 When he first told of the deal on March 12, Casey said one of those who participated was now govern ment official = though not one at the time of the transaction. He did not name the official.
 Casey contended the banking sub committee had no authority to go into the ships matter It was created to investigate alleged influence in REC lending. The REC was not in- volyed in the ship deal.
 The senators finally dismissed Casey but not without an implied threat first of contempt action.
 Chairman Fulbright D-Ark) said that was a matter for the com- mittee to consider later.
 Fulbright posed eight specific questions to Casey and got eight re- fusals to answer.

Joint Memorial No. 8, and it star ted out:
 WHEREAS, the people of Alaska desiring the fullest measure of self government are requesting Congress to grant them Statehood at the earliest opportunity"
 and finishes with the prayer:
 NOW, THEREFORE, your Mem orialist, the Legislature of the Ter ritory of Alaska, respectfully pe- titions the Congress of the United States to amend the Organic Act for Alaska to permit the people of Alaska to elect their own gov ernor."
 House Joint Memorial No. 8 of the 1945 Legislature passed the House on February 19, 1945. It passed the Senate on March 5, 1945.
 The vote in the House was unan- imously in favor of the Memorial. It is interesting to note that among the 24 members of the House in l945 were Stanley J. McCutcheon, Andrew Hope and c. A. Pollard and that they voted for the Memorial.
 The voting record of these three Representative on House Memor- ial No. 36 in the 1851 Legislature IS recorded above.

SUNKEN PR0CYON IS : l@ BROUGHT HERE AFTER ,is F, RAISING BY WALKER

Delayed by a montn of bad weather, w. E. Walker has arrived at the small boat harbor on his boatl the Lady Bess with the raised troller Procyon in tow. The 41-foot Procyon sank the night of August B in. Coot Cove at Funter Bay after hitting a fish trap.
 Oh his first dive about a month ago Walkers air lines froze. Freez- ing weather froze the moisture in his air lines making it impossible to get air to him. A reserve tank supplied him, air until he could be raised. The Procyon laid in s4 feet of water at high tide. Thirty drums were lashed to the troller and com- pressed air was pumped into them to raise the Sunken boat.
 Bill Johnson on his boat the Coho accompanied Walker as his tender and helped in towing the oeyon to JInSu. Tom Last, owner of the Proeyon, was operat- ing the boat at the time of the accident. He had evidently seen the fish trap too late when the sinking occurred. Last had tried to miss the trap but the stern of the troller was stove in after Last had spun the wheel. M
 Teredos had damaged the trolling poles so that they fell from the Procyon as it was being raised. Flooring in the wheelhouse was also damaged by the marine worms. Walker raised the Procyon for the Robert o. Fleming Insurance O., Seattle. Last, owner of the troller is some place in the States.

WASH. LAWMAKERS "JUST TAlk" FIRST DAY SPECIAL SESSION

u OLYMPIA, Wash, March 23.-lA Sen. Virgil Lee came out of a conference that wound up the first day of the special session of the legislature last night and told re- porters:
 We just talked without coming to any definite conclusions"
 His words recalled the deadlocked 32nd legislature which adjourned a record 71-day session last week after okaying an overweight appro- priations bill without approving matching taxes. ts
 Governor Langlie vetoed the ap- propriations bill and called legis- lators back for the special session.

WASHINGTON, March 28 -'R- Senator Taft fR-Ohio) put his weight behind efforts to telescope the Senate's two ps-to-Europe resolutions into single measure re- quiring two-House action.

Varied Interests In Behalf
OF Children Revealed In
Report To PTA Council

EDITORS NOTE: The His
tory read at the annual meeting
of the East Cleveland Public
Schools PTA Council is pic
ture of the accomplishments of
the eight units whose representa-
tives comprise the Council. Since
all PTA folk may have not have
the opportunity to hear this re-
port, the East Cleveland Leader
here offers the 1950-1951 history
as presented by the Council His
torian, Mrs. Irwin Rossio, men,
Der of the Rozelle unit.
The history reveals the wide
scope of service which PTA of
fers to the parents of school chill
dren through their activities
aside from monthly meetings. 1t
is hoped you will enjoy this his
tory as did the Council members
who were privileged to hear it
read by Mrs. Rossio.

1950-1951 has been another good
PTA year here.
Since all of us here are in the
same boat or shoes, as the saying
goes, we know that no organiza-
tion can function without funds, so
of first Importance is to see the
way the means were raised.
Council was fortunate this year
in securing the Press Survey forms
and received money for 1856 COM
pleted copies. The Units used vari-
Gus ways of maintaining financial
security; from clothing and rum
mage sales to the weekly popcorn
ball sales; from puppet shows to a
theatre party at the Karamu or
lunch at Alpine Village; from Hal
loween and Christmas parties to
card parties; from bake sales to
toy and gift book sales; from paper
sales and T-shirt sales to dramatic
presentations.
Most of our Unit presidents re-
ported that greatest returns re-
suited not only financially when
the entire family participated, but
tended to spread goodwill among
members and knit a closer PTA
Unit.
The theme of sharing fun and
ideas between parent and child was
evident in program planning. The
two high schools gave the parents
an opportunity to see what they
offer the student and what the
student can be expected to accom-
plish in the school. Our High School
PTA inaugurated companion pro-
grams-"Father and Son Night"
and Mother and Daughter Night.
Unfortunately, the latter fell VIC
tim to the big snow.
Elementary Unit programs were
varied and whereas many pro-
grams consisted of some partici-
patton by pupils, members, and
teachers; these meetings had some
outside speakers. Programs en-
phasizing safety, land conserva-
tion, the East Cleveland Bond Is
sue, the County Charter Commits
sion, Welfare in East Cleveland,
and Creative Arts in the home are
just a few of the many.
Council again followed it's pat
tern of last year by serving as a
clearing house for it's member
units. The School of Information
was held in September, at which
time all officers and Committee
