Alaska's System of US. Commissioners Gets
 Congressional Attention

WASHINGTON, LR - Alaska's system of US. Commissioner op- eration has drawn congressional attention again, but, as in the past, there seems little chance for a major revamping.
 The subject came up in the House Territorial subcommittee during consideration of bill to permit appointment of deputy commissioners in the Territory.
 Before approving the bill, the subcommittee asked a host of questions of Elmore Whitehurst, assistant director of the admins trative office of U. s. courts. Whitehurst appeared as chief wit ness for the bill which was in troduced by Delegate Bartlett.
 Whitehurst agreed that Alaska's s judicial system was not ideal but said the deputy bill would permit greater efficiency.
 He went off the record to sketch some of the problems confronting judges in theft selection of con- nissioners.- It boiled down largely to contention that persons train ed in the legal profession are not always available and frequently an otherwise qualified person can make more money in some other position than as a commissioner.
 He summed it up by recalling that several years ago his office had received a letter that the commissioner in a certain com munity also acted as a bootlegger and ran a house of ill fame.
 When we wrote the judge ask ing if he were aware of this,' P Whitehurst recalled, "He replied: Yes, but he's the best man I can get'."

ARCADIA, Neb., R-A tornado wiped a farm place near Arcadia cleanly off the face of the earth late yesterday and brought instant death to 10 unsuspecting persons enjoying a Sunday family re- union on the place.
 The twister was one of at least five which hop scotched widely scattered sections of Nebraska.
 Fortunately, the tunnels large ly by-passed towns and cities where toll in death and damage might have been much heavier.
 The deaths were on the Mads Madsen farm five miles east of Arcadia.
 Assembled for their customary Sunday get together were the Madsens, three children and five grandchildren.
 They apparently were in the house and never knew what hit them. So vicious was the tornado that bodies were mangled and scattered as far as half a mile.
 There wasn't a stick of any thing left on the place." said one visitor to the scene. Machinery, animals and buildings were "toss- ed around like feathers" said an- other.

Nome City Council Approves Plans of School Addition

Last Friday evening the City Council met in special session with the Nome School Board and Lynn Forrest, architect from Ju- neau, also two officials of the Alaska Public Works, Webb Trim ble and Ray Swanson. The Coun- cil approved the plans submitted for the enlargement of the Nome School to meet the growing needs of the community.
 The plans include eight new classrooms and one multi-purpose room with a kitchen. The present building with the auditorium will remain unchanged but will under go rehabilitation and improve ments. The anex which never has been satisfactory or up to stand ard, will be abandoned for class room purposes.
 The council also voted to re- tain Lynn Forrest as architect for the project.
 MT. Trimble of the APW stated that the city will probably have to bond itself in order to get the necessary building loan through Congress.
 He showed the council, with the aid of a wall chart, the details of the financing for the addition. The total estimated cost was set at S70O,OOO.
 $35,OOO is being paid by the ANS, as promised, for new con- struction when the Territorial Schol assumed the students from the ANS school when it closed.
 The Nome School board has in it's building reserves, $85,000, and the Territorial Dept. of Education has S30,OOO, which leaves bal ance of S373,OOO to be borrowed from the Alaska Works Admins tration.
 MT. Trimble explained that, in payments over period of 20 years, as other schools in the territory are doing, the cost will not mean an increase in taxes and is amply covered by the sales tax now in force.
 The new addition will have air conditioning, 50 badly needed in the present building, and other modern features which will be enumerated at a later date.

BIufftOn Writer
Completes Book On
SlUiss Andbaptists

Bernese Anabaptists, new history
of early Swiss Anabaptists and their
descendants, especially those who
migrated to America, has been COM
pleted by Delbert Gratz, Bluffton
College librarian.
The book begins with an evalua-
tion of the two existing theories con-
cerning the origin of Anabaptism in
Bern, Switzerland. Mr.. Gratz injects
a new note into current thinking or
this subject. He presents reasons
for believing that Anabaptists We're
in Bern prior to the Reformation and
that the Anabaptism of rural rather
than urban people has continued tc
the present. He traces the movement
from its beginning giving special
emphasis to the Jura Mountain
region from which all Swiss Mennon.
ties in America have come.
Adding much to the interest of the
book for Swiss Mennonites in Ameri.
ca is the detailed story of emigra.
tions from Switzerland into settle,
ments in Wayne County, Ohio
Bluffton, Ohio; Berne, Indiana; anc
the smaller Swiss Mennonite settle
ments.
Family historians will appreciate
the detailed lists of names and othel
interesting information contained il
this careful study. Bernese Anabap
lists, is well-documented. Two 8-pag,
inserts of illustrations further in
crease it's historical value.
Delbert Gratz received his grad
school, high school, and college train
ing in Bluffton. After serving fo
two years in Germany as a relic
, worker under the Mennonite Centra
Committee he entered the Universit,
of Bern in 1948. The present book i
the result of research for his doctor
degree done during the followin,
years. 1t is being published by tn
