which was S550,000 less than President Truman requested.
 The Senate Committee report regarding rejection of the slo0.- 900 request for 25 additional dep- uty marShals said:
 The committee has been ad- vised that the Department of Jus tice has initiated studies with the view of proposing legislation both to the Congress and the Terri torial Legislature for the bolster ing of law enforcement in the Territory. It is the hope of the Department to use this study to form the basis for a Territorial police force to combat local crime. thereby allowing the Unit ed States marshalS to devote their time to strictly federal matters. The committee has denied this request for an additional 25 dep- uty marshals pending the results of the study referred to-"
 Upon learning of the commit tees action which was upheld on the Senate floor, Delegate Bart lett called upon President Tru- man to submit a similar request to Congress. The committee re- port he pointed out to the Pres ident, failed to take into account that the emergency exists now. Reports which have reached you reports which have reached the Department of Justice and the Department of the Interior as to circumstances we'll known to all Alaskans make it imperative that action be taken soon, not in some far-off day when studies have been completed. I sincerely trust that the administration will re- new the request for funds at the first opportune time.'

Ainskon Sfcfehood Given Brush-off by
 Western RepubIieons

Western Republicans, meeting in conference al Seattle this week gave Alaska statehood a cool brush-off in their proposed plat form for 1852.
 The 20-point platform resoiu- tion was left open for possible change at a January meeting Tn San Francisco. The present pro- gram calls for immediate state hood for Hawaii and allows Ai-l askans the consolation of electing their own Territorial governor, who is now appointed by the President.
 Alaska. it was pointed out. votes Democratic, and two more Democratic Senators in Washing ton, D. C., could hardly be bles- sed by Republican policy-makers. Alaskan delegates to the Repub- lican convention did not protest.

 Ring Rot Problem
 Although there was no great loss from ring rot this year, Ste plan pointed out that the disease has spread to almost every farm in the Valley despite strict pre- cautions taken by most farmers to keep it out. In another few years, he said, it's going to be very difficult to get disease-free seed.
 The tuber unit seed production plan advocated by Plant Pathol- ogist Dr. Donald Coe, plant pathologist at the Experiment Station, would take at least three years to get enough seed for the Valley-even with luck. However, it's the only solution to the problem of insuring disease free potato stocks, Stephan con- cluded.

 Meanwhile, the Coop board planned to go ahead with the dig ging of 2,700-foot line next Monday whether the pipe has ar rived or not. If the 600 feet of pipe could be obtained, it could be used where fill-in probability is greatest. Freezing temperatures will help to prevent fill-ins along the remainder of the line.

 What should the planning com mission do immediately?
 CD Prepare an existing use plan. @ Plan street extensions. t3) Prepare an integrated plan based on area by area develop ment to cut the cost of extending water and sewer lines. CD Plan immediately for recreation areas. (5D Plan the civic center. (6) Pre- pare a capital budget outlining improvements and scheduling pri- critics on the several projects over period of years.
 The City Council. Victor Fis- cher explained, does not have time to consider longtime plan ming carefully; its members are too busy taking care of immedi- ate problems. Therefore the Ter ritorial law provides for the ap- pointment by the Council of a Planning Commission to assume this important function of city government. The Planning Com mission will be made up of lay members who represent the broad interests of the entire community but are not necessarily familiar with the best information and procedures involved in city plan ming. They are therefore empow- cred to retain professional ad- vice. This advice is not offered as service of the Bureau of Land Management, Fischer added.
 Fischer emphasized that the commission should also solicit the help and suggestions not only of groups within the community, but also it should call in repre- sentatives of property owners just outside the city to coordinate their planning and thus allow for orderly growth.
 The question period revealed the great interest of those present in the subject of city planning They were: O. K. Kincaid, Bill Rempel, Ed Smith, M. D. Snod- grass, MT. and Mrs. Charles Will son, Hugh Johnson, Ray Lancas- ter, Emil Ganschow, William T. Zahradnicek, MT. and Mrs. Don L. Irwin, L. C. Stock, Clayton Es- singer, Jan Koslosky, Al Hagen, Jim Hurley and Mrs. Betty Mears.

wells immediately after the dis tribution system is put in. Re- garding the proposed wasills Creek source, he suggested that the transmission line be con- structed as far as funds would sl- low and then apply for additional funds for the completion of the line year later, perhaps. If the test wells do not produce. he said. a nearby surface source would be tapped for a temporary supply until the Wasilla Creek line was completed.
 Council members protested that they would rather complete the proposed transmission line and leave the distribution line for a further appropriation. It was pointed out that the distribution system might then be put in at the same time as the sewer sys- tenn, application for which is still pending. Although conceding that the distribution and sewer sys- tems should go in at the same time, Caldwell advised the Coun- cil to go along with Territorial Department of Health suggestions for the test drillings He also rec commended that the application for sewer system be checked since he had not seen it in Ju- neau.
 Council members authorized the drilling of the test wells and Al Hagen was appointed to make arrangements for easements and options to purchase.
 Ordinances
 Ordinance Is, the building code, was adopted after it's third reading with an amendment set ting limits to the building line ia all future construction. Copies of the ordinance are posted in the temporary city hall at Severns' Cabinet Shop and in the Post Of flee. A copy of the building code adopted in the ordinance is on file in the City Clerks office in the Neal Wright building. The amendment to the ordinance Is reproduced elsewhere in this is- sue of the Frontiersman.
 First reading on a new ordi- nance introduced by Lloyd Sew erns paves the way to city sup plement to Territorial law re- garding liquor establishments. Ordinance r requires that liquor license applicants be of good moral character, not having been convicted of a felony in the past 10 years. It would protect the city against any silent or financial packer who has been previously denied liquor license within the Territory in any city or court ac- ton. Applicants must be certified by the police chief and Tor the health officer and must submit two photographs of each appli- cant. All bartenders and other employees working in such estao- lishments must have their photo graphs and fingerprints on file.

result of dragging loaded baskets

He knew also that he regretted his

A lifetime of running would

concealed. He loathed himself for

dark, like an insect trapped by
the crushing foot of man. He was
tempted to lie beside her; to die,
letting death come to them like
sleep in each others arms.
But he did leave her. He left his
soul to sit beside her and dragged
his weary body back to dig = and
dig - and dig. ;.
At ten minutes to eleven that
night he saw the stars again!
She was alive, and he dragged
her out of the tomb. He fed and
washed and caressed her. Then,
before he lay down beside her to
sleep, he allowed himself to smile.
