Sen. Howard Lyng D-Nome) suggested it be left to the city coun- cils, who were closest to the prob lem. He said there seemed to be an increasing attempt by the legisla- ture to keep a hand in local city affairs, which he said is as unde- sirable as it is to have an increas- ing number of "bureaucrats in Washington trying to run the ter ritory"

The biennial report of Highway Engineer Frank Metcalf, issued re- gently, reveals that approximately half of the two-cents-per gallon tax paid to the Territory by the owners of automobiles, trucks tractors and oil-hurning stationary engines during the past two years went to pay for operation of the Alaska Highway Patrol.
 In the Metcalf report the type of equipment mentioned above is Jumped together as "cars," and the report shows that "cars" shelled out $883 ,576.28 in motor fuel taxes during 1949 and 1850. During the same years, accord ing to the report, it cost $419. 9.47386 to operate the Highway Patrol.
 The proportional cost of Highway Patrol operation varied from place to place and down. in the First Division it took about 66 percent of fuel tax revenues from "cars" to run it.
 First Division receipts from ears during the biennium came to $126,- 32480, and it required $83,860.83 to run the Highway Patrol in the area.
 During the biennium the High way Patrol travelled 960,l12 miles, according to the Metcalf report. This figures out at around 45 cents per mile.
 The Patrol apprehended 1,489 traffic violators during the two years, and this figures out at a cost of $281.71 per violator apprehend- ed. The traffic violators were fin ed a total of s52536, or around S35.21 apiece. The fines, however, reverted to the Federal govern ment.
 In addition to experiencing l. 489 traffic violators and driving 96O1l2 miles, the Highway Patrol reported 1,293 traffic accidents, counted 14,514 cars entering and 9,787 cars leaving Alaska through

 They say this is just little thing, but I think it would nullify local options"
 A bill was introduced by Senator McCutcheon to put a semi-freeze on the board of administration fund freezing activities.
 Fund Freezing
 It proposes that the board shall have the authority to freeze" no more than 50 per cent of any ap- propriation made by the legislature. On certain appropriations now, it can exercise a complete freeze.
 The senators finally reached an agreement on how much city treas urers should have to be bonded by territorial edict. They finally com promised on a figure of one-fourth the total of the collectable property tax in the city, but not more than a bond of $100,O00.
 It was a compromise between a proposal in McCutcheon's bill to al- low city councils free hand in setting the amount of bond and a committee amendment to make it at least the amount of cash going through his hands during term. McCutcheon protested that the latter would still require $6,000,000 bond for the Anchorage treasurer. He said s120O0,oo0 is required un- der present law, and said that a bond of only s200 900 is required for the territorial treasurer.

 With every report received from the Bureau of the Census at Wash ingtin the true population of AL aska seems to dWindle.
 The official 17th Census count of Alaskan noses was 128,643, ac- cording to the first reports received
 But recent telegram from the Director of the Census to William A. Egan, Speaker of the House of Representatives, regarding appor- tionment of members of the House. reveals that 20,407 of the 128,e43 are military personnel stationed in Alaska.
 The Director listed 66O mili- tary personnel in the First Divi- sion, 452 in the Second, 13,971 in the Third and 5,424 in the Fourth 
 This leaves a civilian population of 109,236, of whom 27,543 are in the First Division, 11,820 in the Second, 45,647 in the Third and g 226 in the Fourth.
 And it was further disclosed when the official certification of the Census Director was filed with the Legislature, that some of the wives and families of military per sonnel are included in the count of Alaskas civilian. population.
 No information is available as to the number of wives and children of military personnel in Alaska but their number vii cut down the total of real stay-at- -home Alaskans and could cut the figure to pretty close to the 100000 mark.
 And when you deduct the school children, the people who are in institutions and the people who are receiving old age assistance or some other kind of assistance benefits or are for some other reason non- productive, the number left to pay the taxes is woefully small.

names. First of all, in the case
of a name like ''Kalman' the
name is definitely not a Hebrew
name, technically speaking. Sec
ondly, there are two prevalent
means of choosing English equiv
alentS for Jewish" names. One
is called the method of "Asson-
ance" which means simply choos-
ing name that sounds like the
original "Jewish" name. If such
method would be used in this
case, the Latin name Coleman
might be a fair example, although
it does not have the same mean
ing as "Kalman." The other
method is called translation, "
which implies that the English
equivalent is translation" of
the Jewish" name. According
to this method a name like
"John" might be in order. !
would rather leave it to the indi-
vidual to choose his own equiva-
lent, if he deems an equivalent
is necessary. Actually, l see
nothing wrong in calling the lad
''Kalman" in both languages.
