The Kodiak and Aleutian Is- lands Society members and guests were treated to an especially in- teresting program Wednesday evening when Rev. Roman Sturm- CT interviewed Mrs Annie Chris toffersen and MT. Efram Shuravl- 1e s7ou9!I9dxa 49q1 5UpIg57I JIo the time of the eruption of Mt Katmai on June 12, 1912.
 Mrs. Christoffersen related that she felt no fear and her main con- cern was to go about her play as usual. The residents were taken aboard boats to be ready for evac- uation from the area and w hile aboard they subSisted mostly on rice. After the ash subsided they returned to their homes where the women and girls went about the task Of sweeping the very thick blanket of ash from the roofs.
 It was several years before vege- tation returned to its normal state and fish and fowl killed in great numbers were somewhat slow re- turning to their natural hauntS. The fishing season that year was especially poor and the residents of Kodiak were aided by govern ment food gifts until they were able to return to their normal pur- suits of livelihood.
 MT. Hiram Shuravloff, who is now 89 years of age, related his experiences ill his own language and Rev. Sumner acted as inter- preter. He was Watchman at the Kadiak Fisheries Cannery, which was then located at the site of the present City Dock. He said many of the roofs of the houses were caved ia by the tremendous weight of the ash, and several houses were practically filled with ash. The lakes which were located at the present site of the Community Christian Center and Tonys Bar were gradually filled in by the tre- mendous drifts of ash.
 Mrs. Ella Chabitn0y from Woody Island volunteered that they had to sweep away great amounts of ash in order to attempt any gar dening at all, and Neil Sargent said his mother had remembered the pungent odor of sulphur which

HoItzoff Upheld in Denying
Court Bon on'Liquor Shift

The United States Court OF
Appeals today sidestepped the
issue of whether or not prop
erty owners here have a right
to seek court relief from de-
cisions resulting in transfer OF
liquor licenses by the District
Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board.
However. in an opinion
handed down by a three Judge
panel, the court upheld an ac-
ton. denying such relief last
october by Federal Judge Alex
'ander Holtzoff.
The judge had dismissed the
complaint brought against the
ABC Board by the Garfield
Douglas Heights Civic Associa-

residents. They had sought an

at $500.
Whoever the rustlers,
they must be slick, the

or door around the barn
from which they were Sc
lected from 81 other head

presentation Of the proposed
Capitol extension project at
the recent chapter meeting.
"As We explained to you in
our invitation to our meeting,
we had not taken any action
either for or against the pro-
ject until we have had an OPP
portunity to see the plans and
learn the true facts.
Nov that we have had an
opportunity to review the pro-
posal we feel, for reasons of
ethics and fair practice as out
lined in the documents of the
American Institute of Archi-
tects, that it is not the proper
function Of this chapter to pass
judgment either for or against
the project. especially since
architects have already been
engaged in the work"
The Potomac Chapter posi-
ton also has been adopted by
other Ala units during recent
months, along with demands
that architects be given more
facts about the controversy.

Judge Holtzoff. in dismissing
their complaint. said they did
not have standing to sue. In
effect he ruled that any such
controversy must be between a
license applicant and the
board.
Appealing this decision, the
Pcv "muel w. Clark, pastor
of Faith Presbyterian Chapel,
at Twentieth street and STAN

appellate court to rule on his
standing to sue and on the
merits of the request for the
injunction.
But the court--in an opin-
ion handed down by Judges
Wilbur K. Miller, Charles Fahy
and Warren E. Burger-while
upholding Judge Holtzoff's ac-
ton, did not discuss the issue
of Mr.. Clark's standing to sue.

mac Valley Chapter Of the
American Institute of Archi-
tectS, explained this decision in
a letter to private architects
who have been retained by a
congressional commission to
plan the extension.
The viewpoint Of the chapter
representing about 20 Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
architects. is in sharp contrast
to that of the national Ala,
which has led an opposition
fight to the extension.
Mr.. Englehardt told a re-
porter his group will not get
into the hassle because we feel
it's none of our business"
He said the decision was
made after a recent meeting,
at which the chapter heard an
explanation Of the project from
the architects planning it.
In a letter to the Capitol
architects, he said:

trict Commissioners request Of
a range for teachers with
bachelors degrees of $4,000 to
$1,000 and for teachers with
masters degrees of $1,000 to
! $7,100.
Mr.. Mclaughlin warned that
the higher hike could not be
financed by the city without
added taxes.
Greater tax burdens, in turn,
would accelerate the exodus of
able taxpayers from the Dis
trict into the suburbs, he
maintained.
Backs Improved Education
Board of Education Presi-
dent Walter N. Tobriner argued
that improved education in the
central city would halt the
flight Of middle-class families
to the suburbs. He suggested
this would produce a greater
income earning population,
which is a greater tax-paying
population"
1--WE build our city by build
| ing our Schools" he testified.
Nothing is closer to the hearts
of most parents than the edu-
cation of their children. "A
good education stabilizes our
economy of the future"
Senator Proxmire, Democrat
of Wisconsin, asked why prop
erty taxes couldn't be raised in
| the District to finance such i'm
portant spending as salaries for
teachers.
Central cities in metropolitan
areas throughout the Nation
have considerably higher tax
rates than those of surround
ing suburbs, he pointed out.
Yet the District Commission
ers have geared their tax pro-
gram to levels of the counties
that ring the Federal City.

standing that whatever choice
is made will conform with the
requirements stipulated for
that uniform by the supervis-
ing directors of military science
and tactics"
DR.. Hansen added it would
be preferable" to have the
corps dressed in blue uniforms.
He asked that those schools
preferring the khaki uniform
be encouraged to consider
adopting the blue uniform if
surplus uniforms become avail
able at a later date"
The possibility of developing
the cadet corps as Junior ROTC
units also was raised by DR..
Hansen. He said he would
approach the Department of
the Army to determine if the
Army would set up such units
locally.
If Junior ROTC units were
established, the Army would
supply uniforms and also in
structorS and equipment. An
application to have this done
in 1851 was turned down by
the Army.
Backs Stadium
In another report to the
board, DR.. Hansen urged that
members back proposed legis-
lation' to provide a municipal
stadium for the District.
I'm the absence of adequate
facilities owned by the public
schools" he said, "the superin-
tendent sees great advantage in
the availability Of municipal
stadium for school activities
and recommends that the
Board of Education support
any legislation designed to
provide such a facility"

A 28-year-old insurance
salesman was fatally injured
last night when his car skidded
on wet pavement, struck a light
pole and pinned him in the
wreckage.

At this time last year the
death toll was 81,
Police said the collision tore
the 30-foot pole loose from four
1-inch steel bolts impedded in
a concrete base and bent it
at right angles across the car
roof. Rescuers had to use a
hydraulic jack to get the man
out.
Mr.. Finch was employed by

Youth Council Asks
Increase in Staff
5 More Aides,
$4,000 Budget
Boost Sought

The Commissioners Youth
Council today proposed to en-
large its staff in order to UNI
dertake a city-wide youth 1T
ness program.
The council asked to have
its budget increased to $84,-
900 to hire five new staff menu
bers and a clerk. The coun-
ellis budget now is about
! $45, 900.
The proposed expansion is
an aftermath of physical fit-
ness conference held under the
Commissioners auspices in
February. The conference pro-
duced a recommendation for
more community effort to i'm
prove the fitness of the city's
225,000 young people.
Richard K. Lyon, youth
council chairman, urged that
the extra funds be provided
in the fiscal year beginning
next month. He said more
than the requested money
would be saved if the new pro-
gram could prevent 20 youths
from being committed to in
situations as delinuuents.
Council Commended
The Commissioners COM
mended the council for the pro.
posal and what Commissioner
Robert E. Mclaughlin called a
modest budget request.
Budget officers expressed
doubt that the money could be
added to the pending budget
for the coming year, inasmuch
as the House Appropriations
Committee already has acted
on the spending estimates.
But Mr.. Mclaughlin said the
commissioners will take the
question under study. He sug-
gested the possibility of trans
ferring some funds from the
Welfare Department.
The Youth Council spokes-
man said the proposed fitness
program would be carried out
through the councils area
boards already organized in
various parts of the city. The
council has won commentator
for the effectiveness of its work
in combating delinquency.
Broader COverage
The staff increase is neces-
sary, Mr.. Lyon explained. be-
cause the council now is con-
cerned with only 2 per cent of
the city's child population. The
new plan would broaden its
concern to cover all youths.
The program would be adj
ministered through five Central
committees and similar COM
mitteeS within each of the area
boards. These committees are
concerned with family life,
education, religious life, health
and recreation respectively.
Mr.. Lyon said the council
hopes to mobilize all of the
city's public and private agen-
cies in the field.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Deserving Fathers
Boy Needs Fun

They still remember Mrs.
Smith, not long out of her
teens, walking anxiously down
the street with three toddlers
in her wake and a baby in her
arms.
Mrs. Smith was looking for
her husband.
He might be found in any
bar. He might be found in a
police station. A frequent de-
serter, he provided little for the
family to live on when he did
bring his paltry paycheck home
There often was no food in
the house.
Finally, Mr.. Smith left home
for good. The family faced
eviction from their crowded
apartment in the heart of the
city.
Mrs. Smiths children are too
young for her to leave them
while she goes out to work.
She appealed for a welfare
grant to keep the family to-
gether. The $40 a week she
now receives pays the rent
and keeps the family in the
most basic of foods.
But Mrs. Smith still has to
face a summer in which her
children will have no play
| ground but the city streets,
and the dangers the streets
hold for them.

go to camp this year if you

U
In Fairfax next year, teachers
with bachelors degrees will be-
gin at $4,000. Longevity pay
will bring their salaries to ST.
900 at the end of 81 years.
Holders of masters degrees get
an additional 5000 annually.
A new proposal for the Mont
gomery system would provide
a range of $4,000 to $7.100 for
teachers with bachelors de-
grees and $4.7O0 to $500 for
those with masters degrees.
May Drain Supply
Such attractive salary scales
may well drain the supply of
accredited teachers away from
the Capital City, which should
be an example for the educa-
tional systems of the Nation,
Mr.. Mclaughlin stressed.
He used a comparison of
District pay scales with those
in the suburbs as a justifica-
ton for new local increases
of 1877 per cent.
The Senate Fiscal Sub
committee, headed by Senator
Frear. Democrat of Delaware.
was concerned enough to call
for immediate introduction of

SUMMERTIME was lush
along the Hughes River,
which is about the size of
Rock Greek. We passed an
elderly couple, the woman
in a sunbonnet, hoeing
spears of corn between rows
of potato hills in their front
yard. They weren't extend
ing themselves and everyone
else was taking it easy.
We came to the NetherS
post office and store which
was called the Trading Post.
1t was empty and the grist
mill across the road was
abandoned. Only residents
remaining were FeStus Hud-
son, who is a fire warden,
and his wife.
We sat on their porch and
talked about the old days.

barefoot" said DR.. Sexton,
"and carrying a bag of corn,
They'd leave their toll, ;
some of the corn, that is,
to pay the miller and back
they'd go, toting their load
eight miles"
That's right" said FestuS.

to set the woods afire. I
caught them at it once.
George Corbin is the only
one of the Corbins left
around here. He's living at

fifth wife.
"Still remember the day
Fenton Corbin, the head of
the Corbins, came down here
to the Trading Post and
asked to have the sheriff
notified that he had killed a
man. The man was acting
bad, he said; had to kill him.
He had already killed a
grandson who had been
drinking and threatened
him. Fenton was released in
court and the mountain peo-
pie all approved of it. This
time the sheriff came down
and figured there was no use
arresting him; sent him
home"
