 Achievement Tests Given
 At the beginning of the second week of school the California Aeh- ievement Tests were given through out Wrangell Institute. The results were interesting. Typical achieve ment in the Institute is slightly a. bove that to be found in the schools upon which the tests were stand ardized. II would appear also that the children. even though they come from all parts of Alaska. de- viate less from the norm than children in a typical school in the States. The seventh grade room was the most nearly homogeneous. The 8th grade class had the most stu dents to register above the norm. Several showed achievement typical of sophom5rs in high school
 As a result of the study made of the results of the test several were reclassified This was done so as to give older children with capacity to do more than a years work in one school year opportunity to advance as fast as they are able. Gifted children, especially those who have been deprived of schooling, get in- dividual instruction. Some of these children are expected to make pro

She received a B. s. degree in Education in 1858 from Fredonia State Teachers College in New York. Appointment to the Al- aska Native Service as a teacher at Wrangell Institute is her first full- time job. She worked. however two summers as recreational leader at Thomas Indian School, Iroquois. N.

 Miss Snow indicates that she thinks Nraugell is a delightful spot in which people are especially friendly. She has intimated no de- cision as yet, however. upon Mayor Williams suggestion that teachers become permanent residents f Wrangeu and taxpayers here. Miss Snow travelled across the United States by bus and then flew to Wrangel via Pan American and Ellis Air Lines.
 Going To Bethel
 Sterling c. Merritt who has been employed at the Wrangeu Institute as Chief Operating and Maintan- ance Engineer since July 31, 1853. is to be transferred to a similar pc sition at the Alaska Native Service hospital at Bethel Alaska, in the near future.

 It is the plan of classification to allow children Of approximately equal achievement and age levels to work together. Those who devil ate markedly from children of their own age are given special instrue- tion and allowed to advance as fast as they are able without being lim- ited by progress of a group. This policy has really paid off here at the Institute with the result that pupils here have done much better than what would normally be ex- pected of them.

mates the outlay for the mill
tary establishment in the year
ending next June as SALT billion.
Mr.. Taber indicated that the
military budget which the Pen
tagon submitted to the White
House last week is still under
wide-open debate. The Budget
Bureau said it does not expect
to have the military budget set
in type for inclusion in the ma
tional budget until at least next
week.
Pentagon officials, however,
said Gen. Eisenhower has ap-
proved the detailed estimates on
military spending.
The major controversy has
been over the size of the armed
services in the fiscal year begin
ming next July /. Secretary
Wilson has insisted manpower
can be cut without affecting
combat effectiveness.
The Army, presently with ap-
proximately is million officers
and men, would suffer the major
cut. Figures on the possible size
of the Army have ranged from
1.175.000 to 1.339,000.
The Navy and Marine Corps
also would be reduced while the
Air Force is allowed a slight in
crease.
For atomic energy, Mr.. Cole
thinks the Government will
spend about $2.1 billion in
fiscal 1855. The outlay for the
current year is $2.3 billion.
Discuss Labor Bills.
The administrations proposed
amendments to the Taft Hartley
law were discussed yesterday by
Chairman Smith of the Senate
Labor Committee, Chairman Nc
Connell of the House Labor Com
mittee and Secretary of Labor
Mitchell. No agreements were
reached and the congressional
chairmen offered no program of
their own.
Gen. Eisenhower is reported
against authority for States to
outlaw the union shop. But he
may support several AFL pro-
poSalS. such as those to tailor
Taft-Hartley more closely to
the operations of contractors
and building trades unions.
Secretary Mitchell has pro-
posed increasing the 75-cent-an-
hour minimum wage and adding
millions of workers now exempt
to the % million who are COW
cred. He is said to have in mind
a flexible minimum, varying
from perhaps IS to go cents an
hour for different industries.
Secretary Mitchell also is
working for bigger jobless pay
ments and expanding the ranks
of the SO million workers pro-
tected by unemployment insur-
anCe.

Literature Changed.
About a year ago, when Gen.
Eisenhower became President,

was printed and that it was a

Calls Figures Misleading.
The foundation official said
figures presented to the legisla-
tive hearing Wednesday that
only 18 per cent of funds raised
went to help veterans were mis-
leading because they accounted
for only a few lean" years.
Mr.. Rice said that for the
period from 1947 to 1853 the
figure was more than 35 per cent.
He said also that much was
made by witnesses of the fact
that none of the nationally
raised funds went directly to
veterans.
Mr.. Rice declared the DAV
never represented itself as giver
of direct relief, but rather its
function was to help disabled
veterans get claims to which
they were entitled.

of the administration ideas on a
health program but the proposal
argued unsuccessfully by former
President Truman for a National
plan financed by payroll taxes
was denounced by the Republi-
cans as SocialiStic.
At this afternoons session the
conference is taking up farm
problems, but Gen. Eisenhower
already has said that the admin
istration's plans for agriculture
will not be put in final form until
recommendations are received
from an advisory committee that
has been studying this issue.
Seeks to Unite Party.
Gen. Eisenhower was trying to
put together a united Republican
front for the coming session of
Congress. The G. o. P, with a
bare majority in both houses of
Congress. will be working under
the critical eye of voters who go
to the polls next November.
So far. however. the Repub-
licanS were not completely
agreed. In advance of today's
session, Senator Hickenlooper
warned anew that he opposed
giving away our atomic Sc
crets to any foreign coun-
tries" The administration never
has favored giving away Sc
cretS, but the Hickenlooper
statement seemed to indicate
hostility toward recents atomic
announcements of Gen. Eisen-
hover and Defense Secretary
Wilson.

District Committees which take

Works Plan Action First.
1t appeared likely that action
would be sought first on the
works program measure, since
many of its projects are slated
for construction in 1855, the f1s-
cal year which begins next
July l.
In future fiscal years for the
duration of the proposed 10-year
buildup period, Congress would
have to give specific approval to
the individual public works
projects. The legislators at the
outset would also have to au-
thorize such requested features
as the asked-for SO million an
nual increase in the Federal
share of city costs, SO million
yearly in Federal interest-bear-
ing loans and about SIS yearly in
higher taxes on the ten-year
period.
Program Unchanged.
Budget Officer Walter L.
Fowler emphasized that the
latest hurdle concerns only the
mechanics" of transmitting the
budget and the works program to
Congress. Mr.. Fowler further
declared that the mechanics in
volved do not change by one
iota the works program as last
announced"
The budget officer, who held
an urgent conference with the
Commissioners yesterday, said
the reason for the rush is that
every last decimal and word of
the proposed bills must be in
place by Wednesday.

Fairfax Federation
Backs Schools Use
For Group Activities

The Fairfax Civic Federation
last night stirred up a dispute
over the problem of after-hours
use of schools by community
groups.
At issue was what benefits tax
payers rightfully can expect from
schools besides education for
their children.
The federation in october
asked the county school board
to open schools in the evenings
without charge to youth groups
such as Boy Scouts, and to par
ent-teacher associations. The
boards response was an order
last week permitting all groups,
adult as we'll as youth, osuse
school buildings without charge
if principals consider them
worthwhile community activities.
Urges Opposition.
The federation's Schools Com
mittee last night said it thought
the school board has gone too
far. 1t asked the federation to
declare its opposition to the new
policy on the ground that ex-
pense for extra lights, heat and
custodial service should not be
added to the taxpayers burden.
But the federation did not ac-
cept the committee report.
Members said schools are COM
munity asset and ought to be
available to organizations which
better community life.
The federation is one of many
civic groups which meet regu-
larly in county school buildings.
On Duty Anyway.
Members said that at a ma
jority of schools. custodians are
on duty in the evening anyway.

emily still differed on what to

Mr.. Hope has campaigned for
rigid, high supports. while Sen
ator Aiken still leans toward a
flexible program that would au-

culture to set the level at which
the Government supports COM
modify prices.
Gen. Eisenhower devoted most
of yesterdays conferences to de-
fense and budget problems. and
at the end of the talks predicted
further reduction of expendi-
lures and further reduction of
new spending authority"
Chairman Taber of the House
Appropriations Committee went
further. He predicted cut of
SIS to Sc billion in the budget for
next year.
JibeS At Democrats.
The Presidents promise of
more economy came in state
ment summing up yesterdays
meetings. 1t aimed some barbs
at the Truman administration.
"The fiscal outlook" said Gen.
Eisenhower, was for continu-
alton of the substantial progress
this administration has already
made in its revision of the bud
get for fiscal 1854 that was pre-
pared by the previous admins
tration.
I'm fiscal 1855, we will con-
tinue this program by further
reduction of expenditures and
further reduction of new spend
ing authority
"On the basis of our first day
of conference, I am sure 1 speak
for all the conference when
say that the leaders of the Re-
publican party will continue to
present a successful, sound and
productive program that will
serve the welfare of 100 million
Americans"
The economy minded Mr.
Taber of New York told re-
porters at the White House that
Government spending in the
fiscal year starting next July l
may drop IS to Sc billion below
the current level. leading to a
balancing of the so-called cash"
budget. Later. however. Mr.. Taber
himself came up with figures
showing the difficulty of achiev-
ing such a cut.
Mr.. Taber indicated to Star
reporter that less than SO billion
could be cut in the three major
categorieS which presumably
must sustain most of the prun-
ing military establishments,
foreign aid and atomic energy.
This year the administration
expects to spend $50 billion, or
approximately 10 per cent of the
budget, in these fields. The bulk
of the remaining $22 billion in
the current budget represents
obligations which cannot be
avoided. However, Mr.. Taber
called for cuts "all along the
line"
The New Yorker, whose COM
mittee originates all appropria-
tion bills, made plain he expects
the bulk of the savings in ex-
penditures for defense at home
and abroad to come out of for
eign aid. He said next years
foreign aid figure probably would
be in the neighborhood of $4.3
billion, as against estimated
spending this year of Sc billion.
Sees Little Drop in Defense.
Mr.. Taber estimated the new
figure for the military establish
ment would be somewhere be-
tween SAL and $42 billion. This
would mean little if any cut in
the country's immediate defenses,
since the Budget Bureau eSti-
