 It seems the far North city has other troubles, too. A lynx was discovered and shot down in the city limits recently, and another one reported which was never tracked down. It's a good thing our own Kodiak bears don't get to urge to visit the city. There isn't room enough in town for them and the residents, too.
 Just as with many humans, Kodiak bear can be said to be worth more dead than alive. Alive he just roarns the hills and val leys on the island. but one of them dead is insured for 5000, and will attend two conventions. That will be the experience of Jake Foley's handsome bear hide, shot in 1854 at his ranch at Anton Larsen'S Bay. The hide, said. tos,be one of the finest specimens seen here. will go to Seattle for the Baptist Convention. to be held next4week. Following its.displayt there. it will be sent to San Francisco where it will be exhibited at, the N.A.A.C,P. Convention later this month The bear was weighed by FWS agent Kim Clark at the time 1t was shot and grossed 1925 pounds. It has been insured for 5000 for the trip to the States.

 Kodiak now has the best looking City Clerk in the territory. We say that unequivocally and with out fear of successful challenging. Since Saturday is the last day for the present City Clerk, Dick Berg, Margaret Harding will act in that capacity until July 15, when she plans to leave the City'S employ. Her appointment was made to en- able. the City Council to review the applications for the position already on file or others that may develop.

Gains in attendance, enroll

for Crippled Children were an
nounced today in a six-month
report by DR.. William P. Argy
the society's medical director.
It covers the period ending last
month. Enrolment is UP to So
The 1855 enrolment was 86. At
tendance at school classes, stands
at 50 per cent, compared to 81
per cent for 1855.
Special therapy sessions to.
tailed 1892, compared to 5,174
for a similar period last year
The special therapy includes
sessions on physical, occupa-
tional and speech work. They
are an important part of the
balanced development program
for children aged 3 to 6 with
brain damage.
DR.. Argy said, This remark
able increase was accomplished
because of our ability to obtain
an additional registered physica.
therapist at the beginning oil
the year and because of the
faithful attendance and the
volume of work performed by
volunteers"
Volunteer contributions in the
six-month period were divided
in hours as follows: Gray Ladies
I811; Junior League, 267, ano
individuals, 260.
These volunteers have rem
dered excellent and faithful
service and to them we are
deeply indebted" DR.. Argy said

ment of the directors that no

10000 Contributors
Mr.. Carney pointed out that
most of the $780, 900 annual av-
erage cost of operating the club
has been made up of dues" paid
by 10000 citizens for the privi-
lege of being adult members of
the organization.
The average membership of
the club, organized % years ago
by former Police Supt. Ernest
w. Brown, is $4,000 boys. Four
teen thousand colored boys are
enrolled as active members and
have the use of four clubhouses.
There are 5000 white members
divided into five separate club
units, but with clubhouse facil-
tiles available for only three.
THE operation of club units
exclusively for colored boys and
exclusively for white boys has
not been and is not now the re-
suit of a studied, premeditated
policy of the Boys Club to &C
complish or practice segregation
as an end in ITSELF" Mr.. Carney
said.
1.-THE clubs were organized on
Q mutually exclusive racial basis
over % years ago. That times
have changed and will continue
to change is admitted. 1t is not

Case Asserts
Manifesto Will
Add 10 Crisis
BY the Associated Press

Senator Clifford P. Case. Re-
publican of New Jersey, said
today the manifesto" signed by
most Southern Congress members
denouncing the Supreme Courts
anti~segregation opinion can
only "inflame situation al
ready difficult"
Il wish with all my heart, "
Senator Case said in a speech
prepared for the Senate, that
the Senators and members of
the House had not felt impelled
to issue their manifesto
despite its expressed appeal for
moderation the effect of the
manifesto can only be to incite
further resistance and infiame a
situation already difficult"
Thus Senator Case added his
criticism of the manifesto to
other critical statements which
had come with varying degrees
of vigor in recent days from some
northern Democratic Senators,
including Senators Lehman of
New York, Douglas of Illinois,
Humphrey of Minnesota, Nc
Namara of Michigan and Morse
and Neuberger of Oregon.
Sparkman Urges Studies
Meanwhile, Senator Sparkman,
Democrat of Alabama, suggested
in an interview that President
Eisenhower call on Governors to
set up bipartisan commissions to
seek solutions to the racial inte-
grafton dispute.
Other Southern Senators ex-
pressed opposition in separate
interviews to a study commits

news conference where he also
appealed for moderation and pa
thence without complacency in

civil service proposals OF the
commission which he headed.
Declaring there are not enough
top jobs to make the career serv-
ice attractive enough to top
flight employees. Mr.. Hoover
urged establishment of a senior
civil service corps of top career
lists at salaries of $4,000 to
$4,000 a year. The top career
salary is now $4,000 annually
He also scored the lack of pro-
motional opportunities for tall
ented employees.
The senior civil service pro-
posal has received the strong
backing of President Eisenhower
ITO make the civil service an
attractive, life profession, and
thus to decrease turnover and
to retain talent for the
top administrative jobs. we pro-
posed to create a senior civil
servcie." Mr.. Hoover declared.
Employees in this group would
be chosen from the civil service
on the basis Of character and
talent alone, irrespective of the
present basis of promotion. We
propose they should receive pay,
security and prestige. which
would keep Government talent
from being constantly grabbed
by business.
Mr.. Hoover cited a study he
made of various large business
firms. On the basis of expendi-
lures of these companies COM
pared to the Government, Mr..
Hoover said the Federal service
ought to have $4,000 employees
at $4,000 and above annually.
But, he noted, the Government
only has 1854 employees making
even close to this.
Noting that the Governments
annual turnover is about Is per
cent or 100000 a year, Mr..
Hoover said the machinery of
replacement costs the Govern
ment about $500 a person. BY
the Federal service more
attractive in benefits to- en-
ployes, the Government can save
billions of dollars through re-
ducing turnover, Mr.. Hoover de-
clared.
Mr.. Hoover also declared the
President needs about 1000
more policy making jobs under
his control.
Meyer Kestnbaum, special as
sistant to President Eisenhower,
told the meeting the President
has said he is interested in get

Under the plan, the Govern
ment would provide for payment
annually of rs per cent of medi-
cal, hospital or surgical expenses
which are in excess of certain
basic amounts.
Basic Amounts Listed
These basic amounts for Fed
eral employees under IS years of
age would be: 500 Cup to 5000
for higher salaried employees for
covered medical costs; $3.50 for
surgical services, and $500 for
hospital costs.
!. These payments would be made
on expenses incurred per en-
ploye or a member of his family.
The maximum benefit payable
to an employe under IS years of
age would be $4,000 in any one
calendar year for himself or each
dependent, with a lifetime
maximum of $4,000 for each
Individual. The program would
anclude liberal provisions for
reinstatement of the $4,000
maximums if the individual
presented medical certiflcation
that he had regained his health.
Other Provisions of Plan
E. For employees who retire in the
near future or who are IS OF
older, the plan would give them
rs per cent of yearly hospital

Except hospital room an d
board in excess of a 5000 total
for the employee or forfeach ELI
gible dependent. Present en-
ployes under SIS would be eligible

tive is a $4,000 family maximum

The proposed health program
would not~apply to Federal en-
ployes already retired.
Some Expenses Excepted
The health insurance program
would be operated as part OF the
Federal employee life insurance
system. All Federal workers now

gram and their dependents would

not apply to expenses paid by

or those provided by Veterans
Administration hospitals.
Chairman Young said the pro-
posed program would benefit so

each year who have to incur
heavy medical expenses because
