House Cuts Admin. Preparedness Sum, But Ups VA. Dole

WASHINGTON, R-The House, traditionally reluctant to offend veterans groups, has voted to give the Veterans Administration near Fly 19 million dollars more than the House Appropriations Com mittee recommended. Only little more than a fourth of the mem bership of the House voted
 The House deeply slashed Pres ident Eisenhower's budget re- quests for the National Science Foundation, the Federal Aviation Agency, Civil Defense and the General Services Administration.
 In these cuts, however, the House followed the recommenda- tions of it's appropriations commit tee The omnibus appropriations bill, sent to the Senate Monday by voice vote, calls for a total of $6, ,457, ,657 300, or 125 million dol lars less than the President asked.
 The appropriations committee had recommended $5,020, 0,226,000 for the Veterans Administration. The President had requested about nine million dollars more.
 But in a series of amendments proposed by Rep. Olin Teague .O-TeD, chairman of the Veter- ans Affairs Committee, the House raised it to $5,O39,O44,OOO.
 The bill as passed would give the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization $43,735, ,O0O, a cut of $31, ,235,0O0 from the Presidents request.
 The National Science Foundation got $143,273,OOO a cut of $17,O27,- 900 from the Presidents request. But the $33,O5O,O0O asked for edu- cation of high school science and mathematics teachers was re- tained.
 The Federal Aviation Agency got $511,4 100000, which was 76 mil lions less than the President wanted.

Every Day Is Commencement Day

LNACH YEAR the number of graduates from Nome AI High School increases, and also the percentage of students planning to continue their education is increased.
 Most students are urged to consider attending college or specialized school and should not be pre- vented from doing so by financial reasons Where there is will, there is way" has been proven, and there are numerous scholarships, loan and aid funds of various kinds to assist the serious student.
 Formal education is not an end in itself however, but merely preparation for the duties of everyday life. There is no period of time in life when anyone say that their education is complete or finished Every day we learn, progress, and increase in knowledge. Every day is Commencement day.

 Juvenile Consent Requirements
 The new Alaska Drivers Li- cense Act also imposes a new re- quirement and responsibility upon parents or guardians who author ize the issuance of a license to minors less than eighteen years of age. The parental consent has always been required for the issu- ance of a license to a minor, but the new Drivers License Act pro- vides that a parent or guardian, by signing the application for the issuance of an instruction permit or license to a minor, assumes di- rect legal responsibility for any damages resulting from wilful misconduct or negligence involv- ing the operation of a motor ve- hicle by inc minor.
 The parent or guardian may be relieved from direct responsibility for the minors actions if, at the time application for the issuance of license or permit is filed, it is accompanied by proof that ia- bility insurance policy is in effect covering said minor while operat- ing a motor vehicle
 The Alaska Safety Responsibil- ity Act requiring proof of financial responsibility by every driver in- volved in a motor vehicle accident will not become effective until September l, 1859, but the above requirement and alternative meth cd of obtaining relief from respon- sibility becomes effective on May 18th.

New Drivers License Fee In Effect May l8; Parents Have Direct Responsibility

JUNEAU - The 1859 State Legislature has enacted several new traffic statutes including Uniform Accident Reporting Law, a Safety Responsibility Act (effec- tive September l, 1959) and new Drivers License Act.
 Chapter 133 of the 1859 Session Laws of Alaska, the Drivers Lii cense Act, provides for several basic changes in the procedures for the issuance of drivers licenses and also increases the license fee by one dollar.
 Previous to the enactment of the Drivers License Act of 1859, the enabling regulations governing the issuance, cancellation and sus- pension of drivers licenses in Alaska were enacted by the Board of the Department of Highways and Public Works. This admins trative board was abolished by the Legislature in its reorganization of the state government. The new state law is based upon the pro- visions of the Uniform Motor Vehicle Code recommended for adoption in all States by the Presidents Traffic Safety Com mittee, and the Commission for Uniform State I ,aWS.
 License Fee Increased 10 $3
 The fee for the issuance and re- newal of Alaska drivers licenses has been increased from $2 to S3 by the new Act The drivers li- cense will still expire on the birth day of the applicant, and will be valid for two years.

Who's Supporting Whom?

GENATOR BYRD of Virginia says: Contrary to O general understanding, recent great increases in federal spending have not been for defense and foreign aid Thy have been for domestic-civilian programs
 Since 1854 expenditures outside of defense atomic energy, and foreign aid categories have grown from $191 billion year $334 billion This is an increase of $14.3 billion, or 75 per cent"
 In other words. basic needs aren't responsible for the swollen budgets Non-essentias and uxuries are To quote him more: Our people must remember that the very foundation of system rests upon the fact that the people must support the government It is not the purpose of government to support the people"
