Public Works Change
PERISCUPE
 A

Report is that Lester Marx, who was first in charge of the Alaska Public Works administration when il was set up in the Territory sey- eral years ago. is coming back to again dir ct the agency following the resignation of Don Wilson.
 Marx. longtime Federal en- poyee. has been with the division of Territories in Washington since leaving Alaska His return, coupled with the curl ent visit of Anthony Lausi. deputy director of Territor- ies, to Alaska may forecast the WIud-up of public works.
 It's bsen in the offing for some time. Each year less money has been appropriated for the agency with further cuts probable for the coming fiscal year. One of the req sons Wilson stepped out was lack of men to do the field work, which is usually traceable to lack f funds to pay them. It may be the present administration is ju [ changing horses but it's more like ly that it is getting out from under a program it considers no longer necessary.
 Wilson, who is leaving his post as of the end of the month, plans so-journ to California and then return. probably north. Report is that he's had a couple of offers for city manager jobs in the Territory. He was formerly city manager at Anchorage; may go back. Ketchi- kan also is reported angling for him. Don's an expert on municipal affairs.

 By Terry Pegues
(Empire sports Reporter1

dD ~ EAD - Mlke Nile OHlS re- covered from their drubbing at the hands of the ketchikan Rockets Monday evening to squeak past the Nrangell Thunderbirds by a one point margin, 63-62.
 The loss eliminated the Thunder birds from the Gold Medal tourna- ment.
 Lou Bennett and Dick Issak pro- yided the margin of victory for the Mikesmen with 12 and Is point performances, respectively.
 Bennett Rebounds
 Bennett was outstanding on the baekboards and scored consistently throughout the game.
 Issak, who did not score heavily in the first half, picked up six points in both the third and fourth quarters, including two points on free throws ill the last minute of play
 Lloyd Rinehart and Harvey Gross got the Thunderbirds off to a lead as they turned in identical seven point performances and Wrangell took an 1S-12 first quarter edge.
 A frightened Mikes defense that held the Thunderbirds to II points in the second quarter and an eight point scoring outburst by Lou Bon Inett narrowed the margin to 29- 2S by the end of the first half.
 Both teams battled on even terms throughout the third quarter. each scoring five field goals and six free throws.
 Then Mite Owl guard Doug Blan- chard drew a foul and promptly put his team out front again as he sank both gift losses.
 With just seconds remaining the Thunderbirds brought the ball up the court and this time it was Wrangell ace Tommy Maxand who was fouled.
 In and Out
 The clock read one second left to play as Maxand cast off with his first shot. The ball went in - and bounced out.
 Although Maxandis second shot was good there was not time left for the Thunderbirds to try for an- other score.
 The fourth stanza had the house in an uproar as first one team and then the other seesawed into the lead
 The Mite Owls Dick Isaak and Doug Blanchard, cool as cucumbers, capitalized on the three minute foul rule to score the four deciding points of the game.
 With the score tied up at 59, Isaak was fouled, and without trace Of nerves canned both free throws to put Mikes ahead 61-59.
 Harvey Gross, who with Tommy Maxand was high for the Thunder birds with II points, came right back with 2 field goal to tie things up again.

Tough Going

With Alaska relegated to the continuing status of a territory by the Eisenhower administration, it is becoming more and more diff cult to prs a little money out of Congress for Alaska activities. The Presidents budget calls for a slash in funds for all federal activities in the Territory of around 24 mil lion dollars for the fiscal year be- ginning in July. For fiscal 1854 a little more than IA million dol lars was appropriated. Request for the coming year is around ninety million, may wind up even less.
 Gov. Heintzleman has been in formed by Edward Woozley, head of the Bureau of Land Manage ment, that they hope to up the funds for public survey work some 10 per cent. At the same time Del egate Bartlett reports that the ap propriations for coast and geodetic survey work has been cut in half. 10 around a million dollars as a gainst something over two million last year. Various activities of the Interior Department in the Terri tory, largest overall department and which, incidentally, includes the Alaska Public Works agency, is due for a slash of around six million.
 O. F. Benecke of Alaska Coastal Arlines, in Juneau, who represented Wrangell, Juneau and various other Chambers of Commerce recently in ashington in seeking funds for rivers and harbors projects, report ed on his return that it depends on piercing the ceiling" In other words, there is lid on expenditures for Alaska and it is going to take more than little doing to convince Congress otherwise.
 After all, there are no votes in Alaska, except for non-voting Delegate to Congress, and it looks like the present administration pro- poses to keep it that way
 Land Claims Shelved
 The bill proposing to settle na- tive land claims in Alaska CHR 1921) has been shelved for the time being. No action is expected by the House Interior and Insular Affairs committee for at least couple of months, according to Del egate Bartlett. Dispute has arisen over wording of the measure.
 As introduced by Congressman D'Ewart, the bill proposes to auth orize suit in the court of claims based on aboriginal occupancy or title" The Interior and Justice de- partments want to delete gay refer ence to aboriginal rights while the Agriculture department wants to limit the measure to include only land in the Tongass National For est and then, if claims are found to be valid, that payment be made in money rather than in land.
 Meanwhile, the Delegate suggests that those interested in presenting their views write to Congressman John p. Saylor, who heads the sub committee, with copies to himself and Congressman A. l.. Miller, chairman of the House Interior and Insular Affairs committee. The ad- dress is House Building, Washing ton, Ds c.

GOOD BAND, POOR HALF-TIME SHOWS

Editor, The Citizen:
This letter is not to defend the reporters opinion
which appeared in The Citizen several days ago. did
not read the article
have witnessed the School Band in action for three
years. not only at football games but parades and other
appearances. also have mentioned in the past weeks
about the quality of the halftime shows This
years school band is good 1t better than average in
comparison with schools of its size will agree that the
bands In the past two years appeared slightly better
There is definitely no comparison between the half
time shows OF this and the two seasons at the
football games The shows in the past very good but
it more than the band itself which put them over
There the flag girls and other extra groups that
made up the show. Yes, there is still the same extra
groups but the show itself plain Fans have gotten used
to the better shows of the past which make this
shows appear inferior
How many of you football fans remember such half
time shows as Singing in the RAIN "The Circus" "Chas
ing Rainbows "The Tango Dance" Fire Baton Twirl-
ing" and "Sweethearts" only to mention few?
Something is missing this year, don't know what
Just so some Conch doesn't read me clear I repeat
This years Band is good. Their music is good they ap-
pear well trained and drilled = but the halftime shows
at the football do compare with those of the
past two years. Over and out
