Butler Opposes
More Funds. in
Burke Project
MoryIonder Urges
Use of BuItimore's
Friendship Airport

Senator Butler. Republican, Of
Maryland today agreed that con-
gestion at the National Airport
must be relieved as quickly as
possible. but urged the use of
the Friendship Airport near Bal
timore instead of building a Sec
ond airport at nearby Burke, Va.
The Maryland Senator an
nounced he would fight against
the budget request, now before
Congress-. for an additional SIG
million for continuation of the
Burke project.
He agreed that the Friendship
Airport was Slightly more dis
tant" from Washington than
Burke, but suggested the likeli-
hood that helicopter service could
be established to carry passen-
gers from downtown Washing
ton to Friendship.
Cites New Expressway.
Also, he argued In a press
statement, that with the COM
pletion of the Washington-Bal-
timore expressway. a new and
quick access would be available
to the Friendship port.
The 81st Congress granted 81
million toward the acquisition
of land for the Burke project. A
request for an additional 81 6 mil
lion was defeated by Congress
last May when Maryland and
Virginia Senators teamed up in
a move to kill the project and to
promote the use of the huge and
Unlicensed Friendship Airport.
Senator Butler today called at
tention to the economy drive of
the administration and congress
Sional leaders. He used this as
a basis for a demand that the
Burke project be reviewed and
"eValuated in terms of (econ-
omy) detectives as set forth by
the new administration"
Greater Cost Seen.
He said the Burke project had
been one of the favorite projects
of former President Truman.
While its estimated cost origi-
nally was placed at $14 million,
Senator Butler said the ultimate
cost, at today's prices, would run
far above that figure.
The Government has acquired
about 1000 acres of the 1900
acre site. Senator Butler said
an additional 800 acres would be
needed to provide access roads.
On the helicopter suggestion
he said: 1T is not too fantastic
to predict that helicopter service
between downtown Washington
and Friendship Airport is now
within the realm of possibility"
He also said the Government
must now, as never before, ex-
ercise practical judgment in the
expenditure of further funds for
this project. At this time it is
generally conceded that taxes
cannot be reduced until the
budget is balanced. The people
Of America. therefore, are en-
titled to the full facts as to the
continued wisdom of proceeding
with this project. especially when
another excellent facility, with
availability capacity. is nearby
for use and further develop
ment."

under the Alaska Public Works program.
 Delays, misunderstanding, and haggling in other departments of government place Seward school construction in an uncertain po- sition. Don Wilson, director of APW, informed Mayor Painter recently that with the appropria- ton of SIP million for Alaska Public Works, the Seward school is assured. No official confirma- tion has been received to date by either the Mayor and City Coun- cil or the School Board. Cover nor Heintzleman states this week that no slash will be made in the Alaska appropriation. His "Ju- neau News Letter lists the pub lie works projects that are to be continued under the program. It mentions divers school buildings about the Territory but the Sew ard project is conspicuously ab- sent from the list.
 What to do and how to plan is burning question in the minds of School 3oard members and all parents. It is felt generally that the Mayor and City Council should take immediate steps to confirm or deny the prospects of immediate construction of a school building to alleviate the congested condition in Seward schools.

WOMAN'S CLUB OPENS SEASON WITH RECEPTION TO TEACHERS

Seward Woman's Club opened the season with reception to all the school teachers and new people in town, Thursday night in the Methodist Church parlors.
 Because the president-elect, Miss Maritime Burdick, was out of town when other officers were installed in May, Miss Frances Clark installed her at this first meeting. The club also had a short business session to accept the responsibility for the Cancer drive in which they were so successful last year.
 After the business was con cluded Carl R. Carlson, superin- tendent of schools, introduced the teachers and get together games introduced all newcomers to the community.
 A black-face skit was present cd by 15 couples with Dom Lee, of Jesse Lee Home, as inter- locutor. The skit Southern Hamstrings" was accompanied by Mary Gilbert. It was pro- nounced very good and extreme ly funny.
 The Woman's Club meets the second Thursday of each month. All Seward women are invited

WILL SEWARD CONTINUE

WILL DEW AHD CON | IN UE TO GROW? This has been a question in the minds of many of the older residents for several years, A glance at the figures presented this week by the school enrolment should con vince the skeptics that a very substantial and steady growth during the past ten years is un likely to stop in any foreseeable future.
 Ten years ago, in 1943, total enrolment in Seward schools was 110. Five teachers took care of the system. Today, an enroll ment of 600-an increase of ap- proXimately 500, speaks for it. self. Now the services of 30 teachers are necessary to keep up the standard of education held by this city as one of the four Alaskan schools fully ac- credited by the Northwest Edu cational Association.
 Enrolment at the end of last school year, May 1853, was 470. In four and a half months 130 children have been added to the school population. This does not, of course. mean an increase of 130 families in four months, but it does indicate a steady growth in population of the area.
 What to do with the big school population is a question that the School Board has attempted to solve by the construction of new building for the high school. Taxpayers cooperated whole heartedly by passing a bond is sue for $600.000 to build school

YOU ARE THE DETECTIVE

IOU AhE 1f1Cl LIZ Il EN1 11t II
In response to a telephone call,
you arrive at the lonely mountain
lodge of Peter L. Borden where
you are met by his two business
associates, Clinton Woods and Will
liam Stevenson. They conduct you
along a winding mountain trail to
the spot where their host lies
dead, a bullet wound in his right
temple. With your handkerchief,
you pick up the gun lying near hi
outstretched right hand and eX-
anime it for fingerprints with your
power glass. Then you take finger
print impressions of Woods and
Stevenson.
"The only fingerprints on the
gun are yours, Stevenson" you
then say, although you have told
me this is Borden's gun"
"Oh, that happened when l
picked up the gum" exclaims Stew
ensOn. "I was too excited, and did
not think. Of course, 1 heard the
shot as was coming along the
trail, but thought nothing of it, un-
til / rounded the bend and saw
Pete lying here. rushed up to him,
but saw he was dead, and / don't
know just what made me pick up
the gun"
THAT was hard one for me to
figure out, too," says Woods.
"When I came around the. bend,
there was Bill standing over Pete
with his gun in his hand. 1t gave
me quite jolt"
You ask for, and examine the
guns each of the two men carries
on his belt. Both of them are fully
loaded.
"Those are Pete's guns, too," vol
unteers Woods. "He suggested that
we carry them up here for self
protection. It's quite lonely, out
of-the-way place."
You sniff at both guns and say,
"YOur's has recently been fired,
Stevenson"
II took a couple of shots at.a
dead tree limb as / was coming
up the trail" he explains. "Just
for the practice. That's why I
didn't think anything of the shot
1 heard ahead of me until I
found Pete like this. 1t was sui
eide, wasn't it, You don't think
that ?"
"It was not suicide" you state.
and you point to one of the men
and add, "I'm going to have to
question you further"
Which of the two is your sus-
pect, and why?
SOLUTION
The fact that you found only
StevensOn's fingerprints on the
gun is proof of his innocence -
proof that someone wiped the
gun clean after shooting Borden,
and before Stevenson picked it
