$l4l, ,OOO,OOO Spent On Alaska Roads
 By ARC. In Past The Seven Years

 told Saturday night by an Interior Department official that more than $1OO,OOO,O0O has been spent in road construction in the terri tory in the past seven years.
 The occasion was the Golden Anniversary banquet of the Alas ka Road Commission.
 The speaker was D. Otis Beas- ley, administrative assistant sec retary of the Interior.
 Beasley said the program start ed in 1948 is about 84 per cent complete, with more than 800 miles of black top surfacing in place.
 He added that the Alaska road building program, which was speeded up because of the critical international situation which de- veloped soon after the end of World War II, also extended the basic road system through con- struction of the $28,O0O,000 Sew ard-Anchorage highway.
 Beasley said a network of all- weather routes now connects the ice-free ports of Valdez, Seward and Haines with the principal cit ies and military installations of the interior.
 The most northerly point on the 2,900 mile interconnected system is Circle, which is also the north ern terminus of the Pan-Ameri- can Highway being constructed through North, Central and South America. Circle is 50 miles south of the Arctic Circle
 Beasley recalled that when the commission was created in 1905, there were less than a dozen miles of passable wagon roads in the entire territory. The principal road was the military trail from Valdez to Eagle, located and built in 1901. Over this trail pack horses in summer and dog teams in winter carried mail twice a month.
 The Interior Department of ficial said that through 1854, Z $189, 100000 had been appropriat- ed to the Alaska Road Commis- sion. Of this amount more than $141 100000 has been made avail able during the past seven years. There was only $48,0OO,OO0 ap- propriated during the previous 43 years.
 During the same 7-year period in which 800 miles of paved road came into existence, 961 miles of new roads were constructed by the Commission for Alaskans.
 Beasley paid tribute to Alaska Road Commissioner Angelo Ghig- Hone, saying he has received wide recognition from national engi- neering societies for his per manfrost work. Beasley said the experience of the Commission indicates construction in the sub Arctic can be undertaken at req sonable cost and opens the way for increased use of these areas

mrs. r. r. A., ArlingtonJ
To the lady who had trouble
with clothes tangling in the
washer: Perhaps her question
has been answered, but I have
not noticed 1t.
find it helpful to take q
little time in loading the
washer and roll each item into
a loose ball, instead of spread
ing it out.
Particularly with things like
mems pajamas with long
sleeves and long legs-foid
such a garment once length
wise and roll, starting from
the open end of sleeves
or legs, so that these loose ends
will be In the center of the roll.
This win add only about 5
minutes to your loading time
and is much less aggravating
than trying to untangle them
after the wash Is over.
I also find it helpful to use
a mesh bag to hold any re-
movable sashes from little girls
dresses, scarfs, or anything
else which otherwise would
tangle around a dozen items.
I made one from two dish
cloths sewed together on three
sides, and a shoestring run
through the open end. This
is also useful for holding nylon
items which you could toss in
during the last 4 minutes Of
the washing cycle.
One more point is that
clothes tangle less in a small
load than in a full one-so
don't crowd the washer.

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I am
often struck with the thought
that many situations, such as
those with which you deal,
would never exist or, at least,
would never grow II people
would apologize. It is amazing
how many otherwise intelli-
gent people think 1t beneath
their dignity to admit they are
wrong when they have spoken
hastily. One would think they
would be ashamed not to
apologize when they appreciate
their offenses.
Highly strung. irritable per-
sons often speak hastily and
unkindly to those who annoy
them perhaps about a very
small matter. A harmonious
relationship could be restored,
once the offender pockets his
PRIDE ana apologies.
INTERESTED READER.
ANSWER agree with you
Fundamentally and often
write the same lines. / don't
consider any reiteration too
much. If your or mine could
make one pigheaded person
admit that he was in the
wrong. It's strange indeed that
those who can be most elo-
quent with cutting words can
not manage a simple apology
that would wipe out the effect
Of their sarcasm.
Though an admission Of
error is thought by. some per-
sons to be a sign Of weakness
or a lowering Of their dignity,
as you suggest, it is actually
the hallmark Of a true lady or
gentleman. Intelligence and
maturity reach a peak In con-
siderate dealings with other
people. The ultimate test of
character is ones relationship

Nellru Escapes
 Armed Attack by RicksllaW Fuller

BOMB AY, India, R-Prime Minister Nehru escaped possible attempt on his life Saturday by warding off a knife-wielding ricl1- shaw puller who jumped on his car But both Nehru and the In- dian government are inclined to minimize the incident
 Police, fearing an attack by an assassin, arrested the knife brand isher and another man.
 The rickshaw boy was iden- titied as Basl Rao, from the Ma harashtra area. A Maharashtra as- sassin was hanged in 1948 for the staying of Mohandas K. Gandhi The other man arrested Saturday was not identified.
 The motive for Saturdays in- cident was unknown.
 Unhurt and seemingly unper- turOed, Nehru commented it was very small knife and not at all dangerous"
 Tn New Delhi, government off, cials immediately issued state ments declaring that the incident could not be called an attempt on Nehru's life, that the rickshaw boy might have been angry at some one else in Nehru's car. For instance, they said, Pandit R. g. Shukla, chief minister of Pradesh State, controls rickshaws through licensing system.
 Nehru, now 65 and in good physical condition, said he could have taken the knife away from Rao, "but in the meantime police attacked him and removed the man from the spot"

Nome's Army Bruins Win All-Alaska Company Basketball Crown

The Army Bruins, the basket ball team from T-23 at Nome Field, which won the recent Base City League championship, re- turned from Fort Richardson last week where they won the All Alaska Company basketball championship.
 The Bruins won all the games they played with the Post Engi- eers, the 99th MRU and a free pass.
 The Bruins played as the Nome Nuggets at Fort Richardson. The players who made the trip were:
 Bob Hall, Loren Keiser, Hubert Glass, Ole Johnson, Dick Tarbell, Howard Mark, Spencer Roberts, Earl Bowman and Ronald Sims.
 The Bruins utilized team height and accuracy at the foul line to overcome the passing and running game of the other contenders.
 In the last game, against the 99th Machine Records Unit of Fort Richardson, they dominated the rebounds at both goals and converted on 24 charity losses.
 Following the game, Col. Bar ney A. Daugherty, Fort Richard son post commander, presented the winning team with a trophy

TYPEWRITERS ARE WEAPONS

The US Information Agency reports that in Com muniSt Romania citizens who wish to typewriter duplicating machine must have special license from the police. The edict also forbds such persons to move the machines from their homes or permit anyone else to them without police permission. A similar regulation published some time ago in Czechoslovakia
 The Communist masters of these nations know what they doing.
 They recognize that the typewriter is one of the most dangerous weapons they permit their enemies to have Only printing press would represent greater peril to them
 Nothing could more clearly demonstrate the para lyzing fear that strikes the heart of Communist at the thought that the people he rules might somehow lay their hands on the truth about him. The freely spoken and freely written word has always been and must always be- the greatest enemy of tyrants.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

The constellation Orion is di- rectly overhead when observed at the equator of the earth. It is therefore easily seen in all parts of the earth except the extreme northern and southern regions.
 The central star in the Sword of Orion appears blurred and is the multiple star Theta which is in the midst of the great Orion nebula. Viewed through a pow erful telescope it is made up of six stars. Even with a small tele- scope, four of these stars can be easily seen. The lowest star in the Sword is a triple star and the entire constellation is composed of double, triple and multiple stars.
 Many branches and streamers of nebulous light extend out from the central portion of the nebula and it is known that the entire constellation of Orion lies in the folds of this nebula. The nebula is a glowing, whirling mass of fiery gases in rapid rotation.
