with the accumulated educational
crisis now or whether they wish
to allow the level of American ed
ucation to continue to deteriorate."
The new legislative program rec
ognizes the need for increased
scientific training but insists that
scholarships be awarded for stu
dents to attend institutions of their
own choice and to pursue courses
of study that meet their career
goals.
McCaskill said the scholarship
program should not be based on a
single national test. Federal test
ing would inevitably slant the cur
riculum and decide what will be
taught. There is grave danger in
placing too much emphasis on one
test score, and it is far better and
fairer to have stronger local giud-
ance and testing Programs that
use national tests. Scholarships
should not be restricted to certain
subject areas because manpowel
needs shift, and the nation needs
full utilization Of everyone's abili-
ties"
McCaskill added, There is nc
question that communities, wher-
ever possible, should and will
strongly re-examine their school
curricula in order to encourage
higher standards"
When asked what would happen
if substantial support fer educa-
ton is not given by Congress, Carr
said, "More of our schools will con-
tinue to have many halliday ses.
sions, many of our best brains will
never attend college, crowded
class rooms will handicap the worl
# even our best teachers, and we
will have nationwide school sys-
'em not good enough for the Unit

at the same time pinning his
right arm with which he still held
the knife. The savage was strong
and the outcome seemed doubt
full. He tried with all his might
to release the arm in order to use
the knife. In the struggle their
feet became interlocked and both
men fell to the ground, the Indian
on top, his right arm freed in the
fall. The savage tried hard to use
the knife but could not because
of the position in which the men
were lying. Wetzel finally forced
him over on his right side, again
pinning the arm that held the
knife.
Just at this point the Indian
gave loud yell and with renew
ed strength rolled the white man
underneath again and with
an exulting cry of victory sat on
his body and raised the arm for
the fatal plunge. To Wetzel it
looked like the end and closing
his eyes he gave himself up for
lost.
Just at that moment the dog,
which had not appeared so far
particularly interested in the
scene, sprang and seized the
Indian by the throat with such
force that the knife was knocked
from the savage's hand. Wetzel
then made one more desperate
effort and threw the Indian from
him.
Before the PROSTATE savage
could recover himself the hunter
seized the knife and rushed him
and with his foot firmly planted
on the Indians breast plunged
the knife up to the hilt in his
heart. The savage gave one con-
vulsive shudder and that was all.
Wetzel repossessed his own
rifle and taking the Indians
weapons started at once away
through the woods. He had not
gone far when he heard the
startling whoop of Indians, how
many he did not know. He ran
as fast as he could for the river
and taking a canoe he found on
the bank near the water was soon
out of reach.

Wetzel's Indian Fight

Today it is the River Road
running west along the north side
of the Ohio River to Delhi and
the suburbs beyond. But a century
and a half ago it all was woods
with no pathway at all. Where
Fifth and Front streets now come
together there a little creek
crossed in early days and the
forest was dense, with an UNDER
growth of spice-wood, grapevines
and wild pea that made an excel
lent place for both Indians and
wild animals to lurk.
Cincinnati then was only a
group of cabins between Main
Street and Broadway, Front
Street and the river-about two
blocks wide and about that long.
There lived Jacob Wetzel who
made his living from hunting. He
later became a widely recognized
Indian fighter.
On October z, 1890, Wetzel had
a pretty good day in the woods
and was coming back to town
after a horse to bear a load of
game too heavy for his own
shoulders when he sat down on a
log at the spot alluded TO for a
bit of rest, his dog sitting at his
feet. 1t already was getting cool
in autumn but pushing his way

through the tangled brush had
made the man hot and he sat
wiping the sweat from his face
when he heard a slight rustling
among the leaves or brush that
indicated a wild animal or maybe
an Indian was moving there. The
dog heard it toe and growled.
Silencing the dog Wetzel
sprang behind a tree and looked
about-half hidden behind an
other big oak he saw an Indian,
rife in hand ready to use, who ap-
parently had heard the growl of
the dog betraying the white
mans presence. The dog saw the
Indian too and began to bark. The
two men saw each other at the
same time and their guns cracked
almost simultaneously, the Indian
hit in the elbow and Wetzel not
at all. The gun dropped out of the
savage's hand.
His own gun empty, Wetzel
drew his knife and rushed the
Indian who also had his own
knife out and ready. The first
thrust was parried so skillfully
and so hard by the Indian that
Wetzels knife was thrown out of
his hand and few some 80 feet
into the woods.
Wetzel jumped on the Indian
and seized him around the body

Statehood Will
 Have No Effect On Highway Aid

WASHINGTON, tR - State hood will have no effect on the authorized federal highway aid program in Alaska, the Bureau of Public Roads said Wednesday.
 The view was expressed in a telegram sent by F. c. Tourner, Deputy Bureau Commissioner, to Edgar H. Swick, regional engineer at Juneau, and made public by Delegate E. l.. Bartlett,
 Under statehood, Turner said, the currently authorized federal aid highway plan twill continue to be administered by the Bureau of Public Roads"
 "On that basis the status of the employees of the bureau in Alaska would not be affected by Alaska statehood until and unless subsequent legislation is enacted to amend or revise the basic provisions of Section 107 of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956," Turner said.

Blimp Heads For Resolute Bay, N.W.T.

CHURCHILL, Man, LR A US. Navy blimp left here Thurs day on an experimental flight into polar regions.
 An RCAF spokesman said the 343-foot airship is expected to take 25 hours to reach it's next stop at Resolute Bay, N.W.T., 58O miles inside the Arctic Circle before continuing to it's ultimate destination, Ice Island T-3. This is 45-square mile floating weather station 100 miles from the North Pole.
 High winds and rain for the past two days delayed the de- parture of the blimp which picked up a team of scientists here on a project associated with the Inter national Geophysical Year. Winds dropped to 10 miles an hour be- fore takeoff.
 The airship arrived here Mon day from Akron, Ohio and a US. Navy spokesman said the main purpose of the flight is to test the ships use in early warn ing work and possible scouting for submarines in Arctic waters.
 It is powered by two 700 horsepower piston-type engines and has a maximum speed of 75 miles an hour. The ZPG-2 has capacity of 100000 cubic feet of helium.

Statehood Under Constitutional
 Government
By PATRICIA oAKEs
Secretary Of State

The Secretary of State, whose duties are to be prescribed by law and delegated by the governor, must meet the same qualifications as the governor. In general cleo tions, votes cast for the candidate for governor are also considered cast for the candidate for secre- tary of state running with him. During the temporary absences of the governor from office, the secretary of state will serve in his place The Constitution also provides for the succession of secretary of state to the gover- norship should this become pec- essary.
 First Term
 Of considerable interest is the term of the first governor. The governor and secretary of state begin their term the day they as sume office. This term ends at noon the first Monday in Decem- Der in 1860, the even-numbered year following the next presiden- tial election. Because it is less than four years in duration, the term will not count as full term for reelection purposes. Thus it is possible that the first governor and/or secretary of state could serve 10 years instead of the limited 8 if reelected.
 Gubernatoria1 Authority
 By our acceptance of the Con- stitution, what authority have we, the people of Alaska, delegated to the chief executive?
 "The governor shall be re- sponsible for the faithful execu- ton of the laws. He may, by ap- propriate court action or proceed ing brought in the name of the State, enforce compliance with any constitutional or legislative mandate, or restrain violation of any constitutional or legislative power, duty, or right by any of ficer, department, or agency of the State or any of it's political subdivisions. This authority shall not be construed to authorize any action or proceeding against the legislature"
 In this section, the Constitution clearly charges the governor with a great responsibility to the people-that of seeing that the laws of the people, as made by their elected representatives in legislative session, are faithfully carried out.
