Extension Service Marks 25 Years Alaskan Service

Service is a meaningful word in the title of the University of Alaska Extension Service. Dis trict agents, extension specialists and territorial directors devote their special training to provid- ing the information and help AL askan farmers, homemakers, city dwellers and youth want.
 Twenty-Five years ago last Friday (July 1, 193O), w. A. Lloyd of the Federal Extension Service organized the Alaska Ex- tension Service. Dr. Charles Bun nell, now president emeritus of the university, was first director. His assistants were Dr. George W. Gasser, now retired, and Mrs. Fohn-Hansen, president associate director for home demonstration work.
 Since 1880 the Extension Ser vice has reached Alaskans direct ly or by mail from Point Barrow to Metlakatla, from Teller east to Eagle. Home demonstration agents have helped lonely new corners make Alaska home. From staff of three, the Extension Service now has six district home demonstration agents, three dis trict agricultural agents, and the help of agricultural experiment station staff as extension special ists. These agents and specialists are expanding their efforts to serve third of Alaska's popula- tion.

Citizen Group
Seeks Survey
On Child Needs
To Ask District
To Participate in
Long-Ronee Look

A committee OF citizens will
meet with the District Commits
sioners soon in an effort to get
the city to Eat least co-sponsor"
a survey of the needs of WASH
ington children and what is
available to meet them.
The committee, to be named by
Mrs. David L. Bazelon, is an
outgrowth of a nameless COM
mittee drawn together by COM
mon interest in the overcrowded
District Receiving Home for
Children.
The survey, the larger COM
mittee decided yesterday, should
be called an "evaluation" and
should be directed by a full-time
professional staff. with particle
patton by influential citizens.
Long Term Plans
The committee considers that
the city's plans for expansion Of

tional security facilities at the
Children's Center at Laurel. Md.
will take care of the Receiving

meeting was called to discuss
plans for the long term.
The larger committee is COM
posed of District and Federal
officials and interested citizens.
It hopes to get an evaluation
of the causes of juvenile delin-
quency here. and what is being
done about 1t.
The survey was suggested by a
subcommittee which Mrs. Baze-
lon said, considered the follow
ing facts:
The District has 1900 chill
dren on inadequate relief-a
daily food allotment of so or
go cents apiece.
About 900 children need care
and service in their homes, fos-
ter homes or institutions.
In the public schools. 1.127
children are waiting for psy-
Geological testing.
1871 Truancy Cases
OF 23,738 absences from
school, there were 3.781 truancy
cases. Twenty truant officers are
available to work on them.
A mother and three children
may draw $138 in relief.
In Area P, a Northeast Sec
ton which has had extensive
study, 80 per cent of the families
with a juvenile delinquency
problem were in the lowest in
come group.
Psychiatric care is urgently
needed for 1000 children now
in the public schools. Waiting
list for available mental health
clinics averages six months.
For financing such a survey
in the District, members of the
committee hope to get some city
funds and some money from q
foundation.

prehensive plan for city devel-
opment.
City highway officials. present
today, answered one Of these
points Immediately by saying
they are in accord with the traf-
fic proposals.
The Federal employee question
was not answered. In response
to a query from Public Buildings
Administrator Peter A. Strobel.
MIR. Spelman also said his group
had not considered the possible
additional impact If the Central
Intelligence Agency should locate
in the Southwest with another
5000 to 10000 employees.
The plan proposes that heavy
north-south through traffic
would stay away from Tenth
street. It would connect with
the new eight-lane Southwest Of
street, freeway with one-way
northbound lanes to Twelfth
street and one-way southbound
lanes from Ninth street.
OF Freeway at 18th
In order to keep away from
the market center west Of
Twelfth, these northbound lanes
probably would leave the freeway
at about Eleventh, and cross
diagonally northward to Twelfth
on two elevated lanes.
The plan proposes that the
Southwest freeway cross the
Washington Channel and a cor
ner of East Potomac Park to
link with existing Fourteenth
street bridges.
Maj. Gen. u. s. Grant III, an
onlooker today, vigorously pro-
tested this as an encroachment
of Potomac Park recreation area.
Another onlooker was George
A. Garrett, Washington invest
ment banker and civic leader
whom President Eisenhower has
asked to try to resolve Southwest
differences.
Major Concession
One of the major concessions
in the new plan is the possibility
that q Reaches Run bridge
could be built across the Potomac
and Washington Channel into
the Southwest II future traffic

connection with Third would be
long curving roadway sweeping
toward the Capitol from Second
street, then back into Third
street at independence avenue.
The other suggested change
would lop off the northernmost
tip of the proposed Randall Rec
reation Center at South Capitol
street and the Freeway. This
would provide more land for
extending the Freeway, as part
of the inner-belt, east of South
Capitol street along a route as
yet to be decided upon.
To compensate for the re-
assignment of this land, the rec
reation center would be appor-
toned an equivalent piece Of
property Immediately to the west
of the playground site.

Firm Stand on Tunnel

involved is basically one for the
Federal Fine Arts Commission
and Congress to decide.
Favor Tunnel
The Fine Arts Commission,
along with Federal park officials.
have taken the leadership in the
tunnel proposal. on grounds that
the authorized $24.5 million
bridge-to be built at District
expense-would irreparably harm
esthetic values in the monu-
mental Lincoln Memorial area.
District officials have not OBJ
jected strenuously. informally at
least, to the tunnel idea-pro-
viding the city pays no more
than $24.5 million. They are
taking the position that they
will go right ahead with the au-
thorized bridge, however. unless
Congress countermands the au-
thority it already has given.
Approve Parking Plan
In actions yesterday. the
planners:
1. Approved a compromise
plan for joint recreation and
fringe parking uses at the In
dustrial Home School site, Wis
consin avenue and Calvert street
NV.
2. Received a-statement from
the District Recreation Board
protesting encroachment on city
recreation areas for other uses,
and agreed to make an extern
sive study of just how serious
the problem is.
AS finally approved, the In
dustrial Home School proposal
provides parking space for 240
cars and sufficient recreation
development to satisfy the
planners the site can serve as a
center for "city-wide USE"

The National Capital Planning
Commission has decided to duck
q firm position-at least for the
time being-on whether it ia
vors q Potomac traffic tunnel
instead of the Constitution ave-
nue. bridge Congress already has
authorized.
The farthest the Federal
planners would go, in a closed
session yesterday. was to "ac-
cept" a committee report saying
that, from "a general planning
and service standpoint. either
the bridge or the tunnel will
be suitable"
It was understood that the
commission retained this fence
straddling position in a letter
that will be sent to the Federal
Budget Bureau.
Budget officials have asked
the planners for comment on
an Interior Department bill
draft, proposing that the Fed
eral Government pay up to $28
million to make up the differ
ence in cost between the bridge
and tunnel.
Tenor of Reply
Chairman Harland Bartholo-
NEW said he could not comment
on the response to the bureau
request, in compliance with reg
ulations.
1t was understood, however,
that the sense of his reply will
be to say that:
ID The commission already
has approved a traffic plan for
the bridge.
ca The commission will be
glad to consider a specific tun-
mel plan If one is submitted.

For Accord on Southwest

concluded that the bridge will
not be needed and have de-
signed the Southwest freeway
accordingly. This sharp conflict
between the planners and city
highway officials was touched
on today and will come up at

The basic difference over fu-
ture traffic needs, however, was
not touched on by the new
