AfterWard James C. Hagerry White House press secretary, said administration leaders were hopeful that with an in creasing economy and no loss in existing revenue the goal of balancing the current budget could be reached next June without any cuy in national de- fense programs.

Delegates would
 not use counties in new .sfufe

FAIRBANKS (H) The Alas ka constitution convention 's committee on local govern rnert Saturday recommended dividing the future state into cities and rural municipalities eliminating counties.
 The committee, headed by John Rosswog of Cordova, a- greed with two Fairtbarlks city officials mayor Douglas Preston and city manager Sian hard - that the basic county system of the $ Iates should not be applied to Alaska.
 The committees plan would call for two basic categories of local government, cities and rural municipalities.
 The Latter would com ain three classes areas with authority to adopt home rule charter; underdeveloped or completely unorganized units, such as villages on The Arctic slope, and regions not falldng into either of the two classes.
 Wictor Fischer. Anchorage delegate, said the committees goal was to find a system of local government to meet the needs Of every section of Alas ka, whether urban or other wise"
 Victor Rivers, committee member from Anchorage, said he plan was to substitute the "overlapIng county-city govern ment in the states" with more of a consolidation of city and county government.

Sentinel starts sixteenth year in Sitku today

Today marks another mile- stone in the life of the Daily Sitka Sentinel. 1t was on Dec ember 10. 194O that this news paper was first published by the present owners.
 Before that time Sitka had newspapers printed, mimeo- graphed and the walking var iety - but their life was short and their turnover constant. Even those who delve into the history of the community are not sure of the exact number or length of time each was pub lished, although they are in ar greement that four to five years was the maximum any former newspaper lasted.
 In fact, during the first few years we published newspap- CT in Sitka, several subscrib- CTS were so unsure we would be able to break the jinx they paid their subscriptions only a month or two in advance.
 By now it is fairly establish ed the Daily Sitka Sentinel is to remain permanent part of Sitka.
 We have seen many changes - from a construction to fish ing town, from a fishing town to a school town; and now the cycle seems likely to repeat itself, as Sitka looks forward to the construction which will precede industrial development
 Fishing, which for years had been the important source of income, has gradually shrunken until in the past year or two 1t has almost disappeared as a large industry, because of the almost complete failure of sal mon runs.
 But during this time Sitka and it's home owner newspaper has not been idle. Civic groups and the Daily Sitka Sentinel have worked increasingly to bring year-round industry to the community. At present Sitka is an education center mn with Mt. Edgecumbe School and Sheldon Jackson School and Junior College TT making the city unique in country where the population is grow ing older, while large portion of our local population is in the { IF to 21 year age bracket. And the Sentinel is growing older, too. But it has always and will continue to follow a firm policy of publishing the news without fear or favor { treating all alike. We sincerely hope to be with you until such time as Sitka has reached g position where its economy is firmly founded on industry education and fishing, alons with the fine, hospitals located ] (continued on page four1

NORFOLK DENTIST LANDS
TOTAL 2i1 TONS OF FISH
Dr.. Overbey Has Taken His Share Of
Blue Marlin OFF Hatterss in
Three Years.

Hatteras.-While his may not be
world record, DR.. j. c. Overbey,
Norfolk, Va, dentist has certainly
outfished all other anglers going
after blue marlin in waters of the
Gulf Stream off this Outer Banks
sportsfishing community. During
the past three years, or since 1858
when he landed the 570h-pound
near Diamond Lightship, DR.. Over
hey has boated a total of eight
blue marlin with a combined
weight of $500 pounds.
His almost two and half tons
of blue marlin boated with rod
and reel have ranged from 155
pounds, his smallest, Caught on
October Is, 1861 to the 570h
FOUNDER which was largest of its
species taken anywhere in the
world during 1858. The 1856
FOUNDER landed last Saturday
and a 270 FOUNDER boated
earlier this year are two of
the smallest of the eight fish
which gives him an unusual rec
ord, insofar as Cape Hatteras wa
tiers is concerned. The average
weight of the eight marlin he has
boated to date was $50 pounds per
fish. He won national award last
year for 442 FOUNDER. His other
blue marlin in order they were
caught following the 442 FOUNDER
in 1854 was 391, 367, 270 and 335
pounds each.
DR.. Overbey has made most of
his catches from his private
cruiser Snapper ii which he berths
at Fosters Quay here in Hatteras
each year during the billfishing
season. Otherwise he fishes from
one of the cruisers in Capt. Ernal
Fosters Albatross fleet. His guide
for the two marlin landed this
year has been 18-year-old Desmond
Foster, and everytime he goes
offshore for billfish one of the
Foster shippers have been aboard.
Wheeler Balance was his captain
for some of the largest blues taken.
DIR. Overbey has done much for
the development of billfishing here
in Hatteras waters and with Al
Ferguson of Washington, D. C. he
has organized the Cape Hatteras
Bill Fish Club, with detectives of
promoting big game fishing and
also conserving billfishing for fu-
ture years. A photo of the cockpit
of his Snapper II in color is the
cover photo of the October issue
of The Fisherman.
