Creeping Initiation At Home

IN ALL THE TALK we have heard about the perils II of creeping Cor galloping) imitation and how to stop it, things stands out We must make stand at home with first State Legislature, and we must start now, by advising representa- tives at Juneau what measures they have under sideration which are nflationary
 The proposed new ESC bill is that needs urgent attention. If passed every working man will have his pay check reduced by ha and in many more, of the ESC tax deducted
 For the employer - let's take for an example construction company which has bid work for next If this bill passes he will have to pay double, and more on each employe Gt is 27 per cent for each employe up to $4,2O0) If this bill passes it will be 27 per cent, without ceiling each employe.
 What happens next year? This company will have to bid higher to do the job and who pays? Yes that's right - the taxpayer first from his pay check and then higher taxes, to meet the increased cost of operation - and so the spiral goes.
 Your legislators want to know what you think; and this bill calls for action from employers and ployes alike.
 Your Senators.and Representatives will welcome your letters and advice.

Extention of Draft Passes in Congress

WASHINGTON, lR - Legisla- tion extending the draft law four years was sped to President Eis- enhower by the House.
 By voice vote and without de- bate, the House approved a Sen ate amendment to a bill which passed the House last month. The amendment dealt with the pay of doctors and dentists in the armed services.
 The Senate passed 90-1 We'd nesday a bill extending the draft and related military manpower programs until July 1, 1863.
 Only Sen. William Langer R ND, who has opposed draft act extensions since World War II, voted against it.
 The only Senate change in the bill previouly passed by the House was a four-year extension of the extra pay for physicians, dentists and other medical specialists

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

MT. Charles Hignight of the Washington, D. C., Soldiers Home, is attempting to locate his son, James Hignight, who came to Alaska in 1922 and thereafter contact was lost. James was born in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1909, or 1910, and while in Lexington worked as taxi driver. His father and mother were separated when he was quite young and he was reared by a grandmother in Lex ington. James father does not know where in Alaska his son moved; and although I realize the information we have is very sparse, it is hoped that someone reading this letter may know the present whereabouts of James Hignight and provide me with such information so that I may convey this to his father here in Washington.

HOmesteaders Are Granted Time To Object to Waiver

r WASHINGTON, R - Alaskan homesteaders who have been asked to waive oil and gas min eral rights have been granted a second extension of time in which to accept or oppose the request. Elmer F. Bennett, acting Sec retary of the Interior, announced yesterday that homesteaders who are requested to waive interest in oil and gas deposits will have until May 6 or 30 days after receipt of the request in which to file replies.
 Those affected are homestead CTS whose Alaskan entries have been classified as valuable or possibly valuable for oil and gas development.
 The classifications were made after the Alaskans started home stealing but before they received final title to their land.
 A number, of those affected live on the Kenai Peninsula, where oil has been discovered.
 Bennett said there is widespread misunderstanding in the new state over a 1922 law which makes it mandatory for the federal gov ernment to reserve mineral rights in lands which may have mineral value
 He explained that under the law the department is not per mitted to turn over mineral rights to homesteaders on lands with prospective oil and gas value, much less lands with such value already established.
 Some homesteaders were to have waived interest in minerals last November, but the depart ment granted time extension.
 Bennett said that if a home steader does not comply with a request he may petition for a re- classification of his entry or ap- peal to the director of the Bureau of Land Management.
 Either action would suspend the waiver requirement until the pc tition or appeal is finally decided

 Cut Agency Requests $6.slo.4l7
 Wade, following a hold-the-line policy set out earlier by the ad- ministration, trimmed agency re- quests by $6,810,417.
 Wade, in his budget message to the lawmakers, said Alaska en- tered statehood financially sound. But he cautioned against over op- timisrn.
 The change from heavy reli- ance on federal funds, he said, 'fbehooves us to proceed prudent ly and within our forseeable in come through the transitional period"
 The acting Governor warned that any expenditures above those provided for in the budget would cut into the states handsome gen. eral fund surplus.
 Much of the increased revenue to support the stepped-up spend ing program, Wade said, was ex- pected to come from two sources. Ss.ols,s3s From Oil. Gas Leases
 One was $8,019,839 Wade esti- mated would come as the states share on leases for oil and gas lands. The acting Governor es- timated revenue from this source during the current fiscal year at only S3,56O,535.
 The other substantial revenue increase, he said, would come from Pribilof Island seal opera tions - from which. Alaska now benefits as the result of the state hood act.
 No other source of revenue listed in the budget showed substantial increase.
 As expected, the largest expen- allure in the new state was ear marked for education. The Depart ment of Education budget was set in excess of 1112 million dollars for next year.

Hawaii Admitted
 Into Union
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
 Hawaiians will have other things to vote on, besides officers.
 They must decide:
 l. Whether they want statehood. eThey voted for it 2-1 in pleb- iscite 19 years ago, but they must vote again)
 2. Whether to accept the boun- diaries defined by Congress. CThis excludes Palmyra Island, a tiny, privately owned, coral atoll 960 miles south of Honolulu
 3. Whether to accept the fed eral land grants and reservations specified in the statehood bill. Eight Major Islands
 Hawaii consists of eight major islands and number of smaller ones with a total land area of 6,434 square miles. Hawaii would be the 47th state in size, bigger than Rhode Island, Delaware and Connecticut. In population, Ha- waii now outranks Alaska, Neva- da, Wyoming, Vermont, Delaware and New Hampshire.
 Although 85 per cent of the territory's residents are American citizens, the bulk of the popula- ton is of Oriental and Polynesian (native Hawaiian ancestry. In the 1850 census the largest ethnic group was Japanese, 36.9 per cent.
 The precedent of Alaska's ad- mission to the union voted by Con- gress last year opened the door long slammed shut for Hawaii.

John, struggling out of the
stock-ticker department of a
Kansas City newspaper and
trying to make the feature

writing girl he just happened
to meet. Soon afterward John
took the bride to meet his
family, who lived In the
Shenandoah Valley Of Vir-

indeed, their kin stretching
across the Blue Ridge to Ken

trying to keep peace. though
the slightest argument, like
how many children Bing
Crosby had, could set off a
fierce family quarrel.

The author explains in his
foreword that he wrote the
Russian original Is years
ago in Berlin, some Is years
after he escaped from the
Bolshevist regime and just
before the NaziS came into
complete power. He had the
help of his son Dmitri in
making the translation.
A Strange Story

crime, evidently political in
nature, in an unnamed coun-

scenes. where reality and
fantasy merge, he awaits exc

out to be a man who posed
as a fellow prisoner in the
fortress (of Peter and Paul?).
The condemned man is feted
at a dinner shortly before he
must go to the block.

that at the time the novel
