eight, promptly entered the patch contest.
 II thought of the Alaska sol dier, the places in Alaska, whales, walrus, the top of the world. Then I drew a polar bear face and a star, that means North Star. Gen eral Buckner saw it and said, OK He liked my idea for a regular patch. From then on I painted big ones for service clubs and for other soldiers, and signs. My time in service was from 1922 to 1946. Now I am in the National Guard at Fairbanks. I like some things about the Army life"
 Cpl. Angashuk traces his eff forts in art to the early encourage ment of MT. and Mrs. Andrews teachers at Wainwright who are now deaO who saw promise in his early drawings. Now B years old, the Eskimo soldier artist mar kets much of his artwork in the Fairbanks area. He is employed by the Alaska Railroad.
 Presently he is working on sketches for a distinctive Alaska National Guard shoulder patch.
 Maybe an iceberg, or northern lights, or an animal" he muses.
 Whatever it is, others who hope to design the Guard patch will be up against stiff competition from an expert in the field who began back in 1943, with a hand-drawn sketch of a polar bears head, the most widely circulated polar bear drawing in the world.

Aviation Expert Sees Fast Cowth of Alaskan Economy

WASHINGTON, R - An avia- ton economist testified yesterday that the present economy of AL aska is one of dynamic growth which gives all indications of con- tinuing."
 Colin H. Mcintosh, Washington aviation consultant, made the statement at a Civil Aeronautics Board hearing in support of the application of Alaska Airlines, Inc, for authority to provide addi- tional air service between Alaska and the continental United States.
 Mcintosh cited Census Bureau estimates that Alaska's popula- ton increased from 129,000 to 182,000, or fl percent, between April 1850 and July 1852.
 The factors stimulating this growth, he said, are still present and should continue to expand the economy of the territory in the reasonably foreseeable future"
 Army and Air Force contracts for construction in Alaska will to- tai 240 million dollars this year, he said. This construction, he add ed, is being undertaken for. the primary purpose of establishing permanent military posts which must be maintained and strength ened.
 Discussing need for expended air transportation to keep pace with population growth, Mcintosh said the average Alaskan is 10 or 12 times more dependent upon air transportation than the average person in the United States"
 Thus, he said, the city of Fair banks with a population of about 28,O00, would generate air traffic demand comparable to a city of 280,O00 or more in continental United States.

Byron Angashuk of Wainwright,
 Originator of Bear Alaska Patch,

Headquarters, Alaska National Guard - Whenever men in uni form gather the conversation usually includes, besides women, mention of distinctive shoulder patches of units past and present Men speak fondly of the Red Ar row Division, the Big Red One, The Thunderbirds. And they also speak of the snarling polar bear featured on Alaska's patch. For the bear patch is a distinctive shoulder insignia that has carried word of Alaska back to hundreds of American towns.
 The story of the patch goes back to 1943 and military camp in the state of Washington. Byron Angashuk, raw recruit fom Vain wright, was drawing sketches of the Far North for his barracks buddies. The popularity of his artwork increased and he found himself leaving Company c, 297th Infantry, for Quartermaser Corps art work. About that time It. Gen. Simon B.

Alaska Air Line
 Heads Differ On Merger Proposals

WASHINGTON, R-The heads of two airlines serving Alaska Monday made public differing suggestions for consolidating air transportation services in the ter ritOry.
 The views of Nelson David, president of Alaska AirlineS, Inc, and A. c. Woodley, president of Pacific Northern Airlines, Inc, were prepared for Civil Aero nautics Board hearing on propos- als of nine airlines to provide ad- ditional service between Alaska and the States.
 As a part of the hearing, the board has directed exploration of the possibility of mergers between companies engaged in States-Al- aska and interior Alaska air ser vices.
 David proposed in his statement that the four wholly Alaska air carriers be integrated into Alaska Airlines and Pacific Nortrern, leaving two systems with both interior Alaska and stateside op- erations.
 He said the operations of North ern Consolidated and Wien, To- cated in the general areas of AL aska served by Alaska Airlines, could be consolidated with Pacific Northern, along with the opera tions of Reeve, which extend out the Aleutian chain from an area already served by Pacific North ern.
 Woodley outlined a basis on which he said Pacific Northern would consider merging with Al aska Airlines, if the Civil Aero nautics Board demands such a merger.

First Eisenhower Bill
Names Lourie 10 Post

President Eisenhower yester-
day signed the first bill Of
his administrations measure
creating the post of Undersecre-
tary of State for Administration.
Gen. Eisenhower promptly
nominated Donold B. Lourie,
president of the Quaker Oats
Co., to fill the job. The Senate
Foreigns Relations Committee
arranged to hear Mr.. Lourie in
executive session Monday before
acting on the nomination.
Mr.. Lourie, an all-America
quarterback at Princeton in 1920,
has been with Quaker Oats since
1922. He is So.
Gen. Eisenhower, in announc-
ing his plans for Mr.. Lourie be-
fore the Inauguration. said the
new official would help relieve
Secretary of State Dulles of adj
mfnistrative problems.
The first problem he is likely
to tackle is cutting the State De-
partment payroll. The depart
now employees 10000 persons
overseas and 1000 in the
United States-8,200 of them in
Washington.
House Speaker Martin said
Thursday Secretary Dulles had
told him that he could "cut the

two" This, however, probably
could be accomplished only by
transferring out of the State
Department such work as run
ming the Point 4 program and
the Voice of America.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. T.
IF the Battle of Waterloo was
won on the playing fields of
Eton, it may well be that the
theological struggle with Com
muniSm in the next so years will
be won on the playing fields of
the public high schools Of the
United States"
These are the words of re-
firing President James B. Con-
ant of Harvard University writ
ten before his designation as
United States High Commits
sioner to West Germany.
AS a basis of national unity,
he pleads for the strengthening
and improvement of the free,
unsupported, locally controlled
American public school. in his
new book: Education and Lib
erty-the Role of the Schools in
a Modern Democracy"
DR.. Conant's views on private
and public school education
expressed in 1852 before an edu-
Gators meeting in Boston-were
laid before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee by oppon-
ents of his High Commissioner
appointment. His views at the
Boston acknowledgement by
some as an attack on Roman
Catholic Parochial schools--are
re-stated more fully in his book.
He writes:
IT know Of no one today who
wishes to suppress private
schools putting the idea into
effect would involve such drastic
State action as to be repugnant
to our fundamental ideas Of lib
erty."
Opposes Tax Support.
But" he adds, ''unwillingness
even to consider advocating State
or national action to suppress
private schools is quite a differ
ent matter from being indiffer-
ent to their expansion. 1t is
certainly very different thing
from acquiescing in the use of
tax money directly or indirectly
for the support of private schools.
A dual system serves and
helps to maintain group cleav-
ages, the absence of q dual sys-
tenn does the reverse. This is
particularly true of secondary
schools. I would plead with
those who insist as a matter of
conscience on sending their chill
dren to UNCONVENTIONAL schools
that they might limit their in
sistence on this type of educa-
ton to the elementary years."
Among other things, DR.. Con-
ant regrets" a trend toward pri-
vate education Sin some of our
Western cities in particular
for sons and daughters of the
well-to-do." The founding of
independent schools, he suggests,
sis a challenge to those con-
nected with public education"
Engine Of Democracy.
He says that the education
pattern evolved in the United
States in the last three quarters
of a century "has provided a
great engine of Democracy
which has served this Nation of
many creeds."
Without it," he writes, IT
doubt whether so many differ
ent national cultures brought by
the 10Th Century migrations
have found a common basis of
understanding.
II believe it's work is nowhere
near completed.
Admittedly many of our pub
lie schools fall far short Of the
ideal.
Therefore the problem is:
