FLOODS GO
BACK HOME
Damages Estimated in ".
Washington as Run
ming Into Millions

SEATTLE, Feb. IA Up More
than 4,600 Western Washington
flood refugees were returning to
their mud-filled homes today.
Damage estimates ranged from
SO 900 900 to $50,0oO,0Oo as Army
Engineers and the Washington
State Department of Conservation
began a survey of flood areas.
A weather forecast of slightly
warmer temperatures with light
showers in the flood-stricken area
today was counter balanced by a
freezing level of about 5000 feet
which was expected to hold snow
on the Cascade slopes.
Gov. Arthur B. Langlie said nu-
merous requests for state assist
ance followed the five-day flood.
He warned that state aid would
be limited by the states small
emergency fund.
The Washington House OF Repre-
sentatives yesterday asked the gov
ernor's office for special survey
to determine whether action is
needed for protection against pos
sible spread of epidemics following
the flood.

At least two elementary schools

PRACTICE ALERT5
TO BE INSTITUTED
FOR ALL SCHOOLS

With the cooperation of the
school officials, the civil defense
council hopes to institute practice
alerts in all schools to teach the
children how best to protect them
selves in case of attack.
The use of the Bureau of Public
Roads warehouse on the Glacier
Highway north of the Smith Dairy
as an auxiliary civil defense head
quarters was announced at Tues
day nights meeting of the Juneau
Douglas civil defense council. Spe-
cial warden to be stationed there
will be Clarence Bumgarner, super
intendent of the warehouse.
District Al was definitely created
at the meeting with Earl Barcus
as captain. The district extends
from the Marsh mink farm on the
upper Glacier Highway to just be-
yond the hill on Montana Greek.
1t is hoped that additional districts
will be created at the. next meeting
of the council next Tuesday eve
ming at 8 in the City Council
Chambers at the City Hall. The
new districts to be created are on
the Douglas Island highway north
of the bridge, and on the Glacier
Highway from Vanderbilt Hill to
Salmon Creek and from Salmon
Creek to the Charles Carter resi-
dence.
AS soon as sites for casualty
stations are determined, signs Will
be made by the Juneau high school
manual training class to indicate
the stations. The civil defense
council is still perfecting the Boy
Scout messenger service. Written
permission from the boys parents
is necessary for the Boy Scouts to
Join the organization.
Dean williams and Milt Furness,
Sr. are organizing an auxiliary
communication system with ham
operators using walkie talkies with
a report on progress to be given
in the near future. Perfecting OF
the auto pool for use in case OF
an emergency is progressing.
Fire Chief Minard Mill is invest
igating the possibilities OF tying
in additional sirens for subsequent
alerts. Police sirens may be useo
with synchronization of all sirens
to be made SO that the entire
Juneau, Douglas, T'hane, Glacier
Highway and AUX Bay areas can
no alerted simultaneously.

Reds Shattered in Weller of Blood by Allie
|TANANA RIVER IS
FROZEN UP LOW;
TO MOVE EARLY!

NENANA. Alaska, Feb IA -CSpe-
cial to The Empire) = The Tanana
River, opposite Nenana, has never
in the memory of most of the old
timers frozen up as low as it did
this last year. AL Under with Al
years of watching the ice go out
agrees with Sid Sheldon, Charley
Shade, Charley Wilson, Fred Clark,
Charley CRIES. and other oldtimers,
that the river being so low could
move early providing large flow
of water came down, simply by rails
ing it, jerking the anchor ice loose,
and there would go the tripod.
OF course old Sol will have to do
lot of shining before that large
flow of water comes down.
AL Under tempers this state
ment somewhat with a description
of an oldtimer named Calhoun who
lived up river from town across
from the Mission. 1t seems that
Calhoun kept set of books COM
parable to those that might be kept
by chartered public accountant.
In those books he kept daily rec
ord, weather, snowfall, etc.
He kept a twice monthly check
of the depth of ice as we'll as any
information he felt might be peril
nent to the annual spring break up.
A group of oldtimers, some 20 or
more, used to buy certain number
of tickets and take them up to CAL
houn who would form a pool and
do the ticket marking based entire
ly. of course, on his scientific set of
books.
After a few years had passed,
Calhoun finally figured they were
ready for the kill
After much checking and cross
checking of his records for many
years passed, Calhoun picked (the)
day. He then wrote ticket on each
odd minute Of the day from mid
morning until some time shortly
after pm.
Al says the day Calhoun picked
was alright. 1t was a wonderful
show of scientific legerdmain, only
one thing was wrong with 1t, You
guessed it - the ice went out on an
even minute and the members OF
the pool nearly had heart failure.
Under still wonders where that
wonderful set of records went after
Calhoun passed on.
About all this little story shows
is that a fellow standing on the
deck of halibut boat in South
eastern Alaska or trapper above
Fort Yukon pulling up his traps,
has as much chance or maybe
more, than a man who has spent Az
years within a mile of the Tanana
River.

Com m unist Attack on
YuqosIavia Would Strain
Fabric of World Peace

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA -IR-
Secretary of State Acheson said TO-
day any Communist attack on Yu-
goslavia would dangerously strain
the fabric of world peace.
He told a news conference that is
as specific as he can be now or
United States policy as to the pos
sibility of a Soviet Satellite assault
this spring on Yugoslavia.
In general, Acheson said, Amer
lean policy stands now as it was
summed up in President Truman's
message to Congress last July 10
after the outbreak of the Korean
fighting.
At that time, Mr.. Truman warned
those who have the power to I'M
leash or withhold, acts of agrees
sion that any new aggressive moves
would strain the fabric of world
peace dangerously.

Ryan Resigns
AS Teri. Com.
OF Education

DR.. James c. Ryan announced
his resignation today as Alaska's
Commissioner of Education.
He said he had submitted his
resignation at the Territorial Board
of Education's meeting yesterday.
DR.. Ryan has held the post 10
wears through one of the most diff
ficult eras in the Territory's school
history when school problems mush-
roomed during the military con-
struction boom period.
He said there was no personal
clash with the board involved.
THE real reason is that I've been
working under such tremendous
pressure for 10 years, understaffed
and with no real relief in sight, >
Ryan said.
There has been no chance to keep
in contact with educational leaders
in the States" he continued, and
no chance for recreation"
Ryan's resignation is effective at
the end of the school year. He said
he had no plans for the future.
"Ill make them between now
and June &c." Ryan said.
Ryan, so, has one son in a Juneau
school.
DR.. Ryan came originally from
the University of Alaska Dean OF
Education to take the commissioner
ship. The salary is $4,000 a year
Members of the board said they
hoped to be able to fill the position
during the present session OF the
Legislature. One member said they
agreed they must seek an educator
of the administrative type because
of the systems great growth In
Alaska.

The territorial senate voted today
to leave the board of administration

1t defeated IL to the bill by
Sen. Steve McCutcheon D-Anch-

freezing power over special appro-
priations to so per cent of any APP
preparation.
The only votes for the bill were
by Sens. Walter Huntley, RIM. Mac
Kenzie. Gunnard Engebreth and
McCutcheon. All but DR.. MacKen-
zie, of Ketchikan, are from the
third division.
The only arguments on the bill
were against it-by Sen. John Bu-
trovich -Fairbanks) and Sen
Howard Lying (D-Nome).
Two bills were introduced in the
senate today by Engebreth.
One would increase the member
ship of the territorial board of ed
ucation to seven members from the
present five -Four would still be on
the basis of one from each division
1t proposed having three appointed
from the territory at large instead
of the present one.
His other bill proposes an amend
ment to the Alaska income tax ACT
to set forth that excess profits taxes
are not included in the Federal in
come tax on which the Alaska tax
is based The Alaska tax is 10 pei
cent of what person or firm pays
in Federal income taxes. The

In discussing the board of ad-
ministration freeze" issue both Blu
trovich and Lying cited instances in
which the board authority to with
hold funds got the territory out OF
tough financial spots.
Butrovich suggested the restric-
ton on the fund freeing power
could put the territory in an en-
barrassing position"
Lying declared the measure was
aimed at limiting what is perhaps
the most important board we have
in our setup. When you start to
limit it's powers, you weaken the
board"
He cited its memberships the
territorys elective officials and two
appointive officials, the governor
and the commissioner of educa-
ton"
II think it is highly essential
he added, that we don't interfere
with it's essential duties"
Lying cited the problem that
arose when defalcations were dis
covered in the treasurer's office. He
declared that if the board had not
been able to step in with quick
freeze action "the territory prob
ably could not have borrowed from
banks in the emergency. We were
