marking of $1OO,OOO for Alaska
 water power investigations by the Bureau of Reclamation dur
 ing consideration of the Interior Department appropriation bill, a sum far below he amount recom-
 mended in the Truman budget.
 The funds requested by former
 President Truman for general in- vestigations of the Bureau throughout the country were cut
 from $6,250,000 to $2 million. The
 bill as reported by the House Ap- propriations Committee called for Alaska investigations but no specific sum was spelled out for the work. When the bill came up for action the House allowed in accordance with the commit tees recommended amendment S100,000 for the Alaska work, a slash of $230,000 below the Tru-
 man request of $330,000 for this
 work. Chairman Jensen told Dele
 gate Bartlett that the committee
 desired to assure. by means of
 the amendment, that the Alaska
 office would not be closed. How
 ever, according to Bureau of Re
 clamation officials, the House al-
 loWance if sustained will permit
 only skin and bones" staff in
 Alaska. The Truman budget had
 projected the following alloca- ton of $330,000 for various activ-
 ties including a detailed investi-
 gation of Susitna River Devil Canyon project in the amount of S254,9 1928; stream gazing at Wood Canyon on the main stream of the Copper River in the amount of $2,000; stream gazing in the Yu- kon River basin in the sum of $4,- 900; completing reports on the Wickersham project near Fair banks in the sum of $19,294; the Susitna River Basin study in the sum of $2,817; Lake Dorothy out side Juneau, $10,467; and Blue Lake near Ketchikan, $14,494.

 This statement followed close
 ly on the committees warning in.
 cluded in it's report on the Interi. or bill: "The committee is con
 vinced that an adequate roads
 construction program is a neces-
 sary development in Alaska and
 has in the past been rather gen.
 erous in allowing funds for this
 purpose. However, the committee
 has consistently felt that a great
 CT share of the burden of building roads and maintaining them in
 Alaska should be borne by the
 government of Alaska. Just prior to marking up the bill it was
 brought to the committees at tention that the Alaska legisla- ture had adjourned it's recent ses sion without adopting proposed legislation which would have in- creased revenues for the Territory for the purpose of carrying their fair share of the road program. In view of this fact, the commit tee sees no reason for continuing the construction program with federal funds at the level of re- cent years"
 Delegate Bartlett offered two amendments to the bill, one to restore the $400,000 cut in the road maintenance funds and $2,- 100000 for continuation of the Copper River Highway in the road construction allowances. However, these met the same fate of rejection as did all amend ments offered by individual mem- bers. In urging restoration of these funds, Delegate Bartlett asked Congressman Jensen dur ing House debate on the measure whether 'it might not be too late for this year, even, if a special session of the legislature were called forthwith, to increase the appropriations?" to which the subcommittee chairman replied: If the legislature of Alaska were to meet and pass revenue-rais- ing legislation, it is possible they could get that accomplished be- for the Senate committee marks up this bill. If the Senate com mittee would look with favor up- on a larger appropriation than the House committee has recom- mended, then, speaking for my self as one member of the com- | mittee, I would say it would 1 seem quite natural that the mem bers of the House committee l would look with favor on a larg- er appropriation for that pur- pose"

Road Funds and the Alaska Ledislafure


 Legislature
 The suggestion that a special session of the Alaska legislature resulting in raising of increased revenue for territorial road con- tributions might lead to addition al federal road funds was made by Congressman Ben Jensen, who head the subcommittee of the House Appropriations Commit tee handling appropriations for the Interior Department.
 The advice was given by the Iowa Republican following the admonition of the House commit tee in allowing $10 million for federal road construction for the 1854 fiscal year, a slash of $8,- 100000 below the Truman bud get and cut of $4,600,000 from the revised budget of President Eisenhower. In addition to this reduction, the House committee also recommended that $3 mill lion be made available for road maintenance work in the Terri tory, $400,000 below the amount requested in both the Truman and Eisenhower budgets.
 The House sustained both cuts in passing the Interior Depart ment appropriation bill this week in addition to other reductions eliminating entirely the Seward Portage rehabilitation program for The Alaska Railroad in the amount of $13,592,000 as recom- mended by former President Truman and reducing by $675.- 900 the $15 million Alaska Public Works program contained in the Truman budget.
 "1f they in Alaska expect the United States Congress to change the amounts which the commit tee has recommended in the House bill," Congressman Jen- sen stated to Delegate Bartlett when the committee action on roads was initially made known, T would suggest the new Cover nor, B. Frank Heintzleman, con- vere the territorial legislature in special session for the purpose of Iassing legislation which will incTe ease the gasoline tax, license fees on trucks, and such other revenue as the Governor feels should be increased. If they get that done in time-before the Senate committee marks up the bilI-there is the possibility that the Senate will be more liberal thar the House has been, and then the House conferees who will sit with the Senate conferees will naturally be inclined to ap- prcTe a greater appropriation for

The venerable Cincinnatian has
no formula for reaching 100. Ask
ed recently what advice he would
give young people on that score,
he answered, Il wouldn't be able
to talk to them soon enough, be-
cause I'd have to tell them what
grandparents to select. It's a mat
ter of heredity."
On another occasion he and
friend visited another centenarian,
who offered them cigars. Both DR..
Zenner and his friend declined,
and as the cigar-smoking old tim
er lit up, DR.. Zenner remarked,
"You can claim you're 100 because
you use tobacco, and l can claim
I'm 100 because I don't"
The one desire uppermost in DR..
Zenner's mind is that world peace
may soon be realized. He admits
the future is uncertain, but he be-
lieves the answer lies in tolerance.
"As soon as we can learn to see
the two sides to every question,
mankind will be all right" he
says.

hickory nut crop will have been
consumed by the opening day,
particularly in the southern and
southeastern sections of the state.
Game management men are
predicting that the weather will
play a vital part in the success
of the squirrel season. Some rain

be very helpful they point out.
Hunters are reminded to con-
tact the farmer or landowner on
whose property he desires to
hunt - NOW. Don't wait until
opening day. Hunting without the
consent of the landowner is in
violation of the law and violators
may be prosecuted.
To preserve a sport as old as
the country itself, hunters are
cautioned to observe the rules of
good craftsmanship. Don't shoot
near buildings or inhabited dwell
lings. Don't tear down fences,
block driveways or gates, and at
all times respect the wishes of
the landowner.
Get permission now and
have a good hunting season.

the Oldest living college graduate

Young Philip enrolled in the un-
iversity preparatory school when
Civil War veterans were entering
the university in large numbers.
In 1865 the Ohio Assembly offer
ed "GI educational benefits" to
young men of the state who had
served in the war.
From the preparatory academy
he went into the university, and
he was graduated in 1870. School
officials have found no records of
any person living today who re-
ceived a college degree earlier
than that date.
During its century and a half
of existence Ohio University has
graduated 10000 students. Among
these alumni, DR.. Zenner-who
has lived through more than two
thirds of the history of his Alma
Mater-is not only the oldest but
one of the more illustrious.
Following his graduation he dis
tinguished himself as doctor pro-
fessor, author, philanthropist, and
civic leader.
You couldn't be blamed for not
guessing his age. He is hard of
hearing, but, otherwise, he gives
no indication that he has passed
the century mark.
His face shows remarkably few
wrinkles, and his eyes twinkle,
spanked by keen sense of humor.
He still has his own teeth, and he
reads without glasses.

Two-Wsy Football
CENTER MUST BE HUSTLER
BY GEORGE MUNGER
Coach, U. of Pennsylvania

up Newsfeatures
PHILADELPHIA - The center
must be a leader and hustler; he
must be a good student of the
game, in order to call defensive
signals for his team; he must be
able to snap the ball accurately
for close formation plays and for
deep punt formation; he must be
quick and agile to carry out his
blocking assignments; he must be
able to diagnose plays on defense;
and he must have the strength,
speed and coordination to tackle
and to break up forward passes.
The single wing attack requires
the center to snap the ball to
either the tailback or fullback.
His pass must be of the proper
speed and with the proper lead.
The center must block straight
ahead and, on some plays, nc
must pull out of his position in
the line and block in the secon-
dary.
Defensively the center is the
quarterback. He calls the defense
maneuver for his team, based on
scouting reports on the opponent,
the score of the game, the time
left to play, weather conditions,
the down and distance to be
gained, and the position of the
ball in the field. Here at Pennsyl-
vania we spend as much time
coaching our center defensive
quarterback strategy as we do
with our offensive quarterback on
offensive PLAYS.
