ASSESSMENT WORK

The deadline for the past years
requirement for assessment work
will be reached on July with no
prospect in sight for COMPRESSION
al action to suspend the necessity
for doing such work on unpat-
ented mining claims in Alaska and
the rest of the country.
The Alaska legislature memoir
ialized the Congress to waive the
requirement but the sentiments of
the territorial legislative body
face the prospect of negative re-
Spouse from the national Con-
gress.
'My personal recommendation"
Delegate Bartlett stated f e r
talking with a number Of key
members of Congress including
the chairman Of the mines and
mining subcommittee of the
House Interior and Insular AT
fairs Committee, the subcommit-
tee having initial jurisdiction over
any legislation seeking waiver,
would be that all claim holders
perform their assessment work.
They would endanger themselves
if they waited in anticipation of

Son Daniel Ost Writes
Tribute to His Mother
In Covenant Newspaper

In Covenant Newspaper
We have been requested to
reprint this tribute to Mrs. L. E.
Ost, who passed away April 8.
The article is from the Cow
enant Weekly. 1t is written by
Daniel K. Ost, son of the de-
ceased who is we'll known in
the community.
In the year 1910, mother ac-
companied my father in his call
from God to go to Alaska to bring
the gospel Of Christ to the Eski-
mos. Shortly after they arrived in
Alaska, in fact before my oldest
brother was born, the symptoms
of arthritis rheumatism began to
appear - the tell-tale signs that
were to get steadily worse for
over 40 years. From my earliest
recollections Of mother she was
crippled with that awful disease,
but that did not deter her aban-
donment to God, to her family,
and to the Eskimos, imposed upon
her by a heart brim-full of the
love Of God.
After a long fight it became
necessary for my mother to use
crutches and l can remember try
ing to fix the pads so they would
Mt be so painful for her armpits.
I remember when it became no
longer possible for her to kneel
and pray at night so she had to
sit up in bed to pray. She would
always tell me stories from the
Bible-never too busy, never too
tired, and then she would have
me kneel and pray.
The coffee was always on for
the Eskimo dog-team driver who
arrived in the middle Of the biz
zard, for the pilot Of the mail
plane and for visiting dignitaries.
l believe that not few mission
aries who have gone to Alaska to
minister Christ will testify that
actually they were ministered to
by mother, whose sweet Christ
like character and tenderness
were proverbial. Hundreds have
been enriched and humbled for
having known her and observed
the glow of Christ from a pain
wracked body! In spite Of sleep
less nights and many vicissitudes
from many heart-acheS as well
as constant pain in her body,
mother was not known to COM
plain or to "gripe"-no, it seemed
with the increasing pain there
was a compromising measure of
my grace is sufficient for thee"
Mothers faith seemed to know
no doubts. Even when it looked
like all of us boys were on the
path to hell, she never doubted
that we would all be saved. Her
commitment to God was complete
even to the extent that she didn't
complain when God called us

Rees Sees Support
For Commission Plan
To Fix Postal Rates
BY the Assoeiated Press

Chairman ReeS of the House
Post Office Committee said to-
day support is growing for a
proposal to let a presidential
commission fix postal rates
rather than have Congress do it,
The plan, if. adopted, would
take Congress off the spot on
a hot issue-President Eisen-
hower's request to increase the
cost of f1rSt-class letters from
3 cents to 4 cents.
The administration request,
part of a drive to erase the huge
postal deficit, was shelved in
the last days of the past session
of Congress, but will be pressed
again next January. 1t will be
more controversial than ever in
an election year.
Mr.. Rees said he has received
ga considerable amount of fa-
vorable comment on the COM
mission proposal from all across
the country"
Would Provide Veto.
Representative st. George,
Republican, of New York. is
sponsoring plan to let a fact
finding commission recommend
rates which would go into effect
automatically unless vetoed by
Congress.
Chairman Carlson of the Sem
ate Post Office Committee was
said to have some reservations
about the commission proposal,
on grounds it would be Surrend-
ering traditional powers OF Con-
gress. But associates said he
probably would go along If the
drive to fix higher rates in Con-
gress is stalled again.
At any rate, Mr.. Rees said in
an interview, he will call for an
early decision on what to do
about rates When Congress re-
convenes in January. The Kan
san added he saw no need for
further hearings on the issue.
An advisory council set up by
the Senate committee is sched-
uled to report by January 81 on
a broad study of postal rates.
Mr.. Rees said ne understood,
however, the report would be
ready by December 81.
The Accent stamp for letters
would raise an estimated $3.50
million.
I'd Glass Boost Urged.
The administration also called
for boost Of about 40 per cent
in second-class rates for news
papers, magazines and other
periodicals. in several stages, out
JnlS would raise only ABOUT SZU
million. Similarly, a proposed 33
per cent hike in third-class rates,
for such items as advertising cir
culars, would raise only $50 mil
lion.
The administration also re-
quested that air-mall stamps be
boosted from 6 to 7 cents, to
raise SIS million.
Postmaster General Summer
field, in arguing the administra-
tion's case for rate hikes, indi-
Gated the administration would
rot object to the idea of a COM
mission taking over the rate
field.

ness opportunities that will
come. Secretary of Commerce

tion of the National Council of

lowed by the rest of the country.

II do not believe in treating
Negroes as a separate group that
must be treated differently from
other Americans"

Aid for New Mexico
May Go On for Time,
Benson Says on Trip
BY the Assoeiated Press

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nov. IA
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
said last night it appears the
Federal Government may need
to continue emergency drought
aid in distressed areas Of New
Mexico for an indefinite period.
He made this statement after
making a motor tour of parts Of
New Mexico which have been
affected by a prolonged drought
and have insufficient feed to
maintain foundation herds Of
cattle and sheep.
unlike some drought areas to
the east and south where rains
have fallen recently, it is too
late for New Mexico farmers to
plant any crops this year that
would provide feed supplies for
the winter" he said.
Mr. Benson and a party Of
aides and newsmen are making
a 5,000-mile flying inspection
tour Of drought areas in the
West.
Today they went to Nevada.
Utah and Wyoming. The
G.. o. P. farm chief said the ex-
tent of further Federal aid in
this and other drought areas will
be determined by the available
ity of funds. Money already al.
lotted is running low.
Mr.. Benson told a luncheon
gathering of farm and Republic
can leaders at Albuquerque that
the department wanted to make
"taX dollars" go as far as "hu-
manly possible" in helping those
most in need" The secretary
said he had been delighted with
the spirit being shown by farm
