In Italy they are called Aero
Clubs. In Canada they are
known as the Air Cadet League.
And in Israel their title is the
Gadna Anvil.
But all these names describe
the same thing youngsters
who like flying.
Some 172 representatives of
: these teen-age flying enthu-
siasts from 10 countries are
in town to see the sights as
part of the International Air
Cadet Exchange program.
Their Washington visit eli
makes a three-week stay in
this country. while members of
this country's Civil Air Patrol
are visiting their countries.
Yesterday, the foreign dele
cations began arriving from
the various States where they
have been guests of local Civil
Air Patrol units for the last
two weeks.
White House Today
This morning they visited
the White House, and tomorrow
they will go to the Pentagon
for a space age briefing. Friday
is for sightseeing. On Saturday
they will leave for home.
Although the cadet units in
all countries are alike in their
love of flying, their differ con-
siderably in organization and
activities.
Senator Humphrey, who is
prominently mentioned for
President, told the group today
that the United States should
invite not only Soviet Premier
, Khrushchev to visit this coun-
try but also a large number of
high school students from the
Soviet bloc of nations.
Senator Humphrey spoke be-
fore the cadets at the May
flower Hotel.
The Minnesota Democrat
! said that the free world should
, welcome the chance to ex-
change such young people with
the Soviets.
Personally, think it is al
most as important to have sew
eral thousand youngsters from
the Communist nations visit us
as to have Mr.. Khrushchev
visit us" he said, "for vital as it
is for the present Communist
leadership to come to under
stand us, it is equally vital
that the next generation should
understand U.S."
Club Owns 7 Planes
For example, almost all men,
bers of the Italian clubs are
pilots - and those who aren't
hope to earn their wings soon.
Our particular club, in
Naples" says Sernia Sabine, a
senior escort to the five
youngSter Italian group, "owns
seven aircraft ready to be used
at any time.
1T costs our members about
$40 an hour for their use," he
adds.
The clubs encourage their
members to become pilots. 1T
costs about $140 in American
money for a pilots license" he
says. IF a member earns his
within six months, the club
pays half the cost"
The Israeli organization,
Gadna Anvil, on the other hand,
includes practically no pilots.
Many members, however, later
become pilots in the Air Force.
I'VE start our members with
building models and taking
aviation subjects" says 1t. Col.

Gruening Speaks At
 Function for Winners of Democracy Scribe Contest

WASHINGTON, R - Although outnumbered by girls 26-24, boys made a clean sweep Wednesday of the top honors in the annual Voice of Democracy broadcast script writing contest.
 The No. 1 award of $1,50O went to a Georgia boy, James w. Ra- chelS Jr. of Columbus.
 The awards were presented at a luncheon at which Sen. Ernest Gruening told the teen-agers that Americans can insure their Demo- cratic heritage by voting and keep ing informed on political issues.

maintaining close liaison on gen eral policy and future appoint mentS.
 At news conference at Seattle, Egan expressed thanks for the thousands of letters and telegrams he said he had received and called the surgeons who had relieved his intestinal block "the right hand of God, as far as I am concerned"
 He also said he believed that acting Governor Wade was "func- tioning in a way that should please all AlaskanS."
 Meanwhile, Sen. John Cog hill of Nenana, Republican minor ity leader in the upper branch, introduced a bill that he said would allow Governor Egan to re- ceive salary for the time since he took office January 3.
 The measure would remove the Governor and Secretary of State from provisions of state personnel laws. Without such action, Cog hill said, Egan could not qualify for any pay because he has been hospitalized since the day of his inauguration.

Rape of The 10th From the Wrangel Sentinel
 By LEW WILLIAMS

This is the year of the transition period, from Territory to- State. This is the year of the "hand in the till" This is the year of the water hauler, carrying it on both shoulders. This is the year of the Spenders. This is the year of get ting it while there is still some left This is the year the taxpayer trembles. This is the year which appears headed for history as the rape of the 18th.
 Before the first state legislature in Juneau are these measures, to mention a few, the big ones haven't come up yet:
 To appropriate $92,295 to cover operating expenses of the legis- lature authorized in SB29.
 To appropriate $21,000 to cover legislative council study of the ju- dicial system.
 To appropriate $94, ,545 to cover legislative expenses of SB 29.
 To appropriate S23,107 for pur- chase of duplicating machinery for legislature and legislative council.
 To appropriate $8,751 for alter ations, desks and chairs, in legis- lative chambers.
 To appropriate $222,52O for pay ment of salary and per diem and allowances of legislature, at $3,000 per year plus $40 per day.
 To set salaries of Governor at $24,000 and Secretary of State at $17,500 per year.
 To appropriate $4OO,OOO in defi- cheney funds to cover school bus transportation costs.
 To appropriate $173,000 for a deficiency in the Department of Finance
 To appropriate $500 for defi- ciency needs of the real estate commission.
 To appropriate $69,453 in emer- gency funds to Governors office
 This totals a mere S1,O53, ,126 and this is only beginning, much of it routine. This does not include the proposed setting up of judi ciary with salaries ranging from $25,0O0 for judges to S27 800 for the chief justice.

Legislature Lauded By Convalescing Alaska Governor, for Doing Good Job

JUNEAU, R - Legislators had a message from convalescing Gov- ernor William A. Egan Thursday saying he believes they are doing a good job" There's apparently no prospect he will return here for two months or more.
 The message was relayed by Governor Egan's assistant, Burke Riley, after he accompanied Egan and Mrs. Egan as they left a Seattle hospital Wednesday. The Governor will now begin six weeks convalescence before an- other planned operation for re- moval of a gallstone.
 He was alert but still appar- ently very weak following his severe abdominal operation five weeks ago.
 Riley declined to comment on possible appointments that might be made by acting Governor Hugh Wade or later by Egan. But he did say Egan and Wade were

SCHOOL PAYMENTS

Three payments totalling $175,- 28O were approved last week for Kodiak, Nome and Fairbanks schools, according to information given to Sen Bartlett by Com missioner Derthick of the Office of Education.
 The money has been made available under the terms of the law which provides financial assistance for schools in federal ly-affected areas for supplement- ing maintenance and operation costs. One of the three payments approved last week would go to the Kodiak Independent School District in the amount of $31, ,981, the second in the amount of $132,632 has been earmarked for the Fairbanks Independent School District, and the third, $10,717, will go to the Nome Public School.

FREE MARKET FOR GOLD

The administration, speaking through the Treasury Depart ment, has reaffirmed its opposi- tion to the free marketing of gold or an increase in the price of gold in reporting on Sen. Bartlett's bill to create free market in the United States for newly mined domestic gold and for inn ported gold and to allow the ex- portation of such gold without restriction
 According to the Treasury the free marketing bill would "in- vClve second, unofficial price for gold which would fluctuate at variance from the official price depending upon the demand for a relatively small amount of new gold production.
 Our goals of economic stabil- ity and sound money require continuation of our policy of maintaining the price of gold at S35 per ounce. Accordingly, the Treasury Department is opposed to the enactment of legislation which would have the effect of creating variable prices for gold in terms of the dollar in domestic and foreign markets. We believe that the adoption of any such pro- posal would tend to undermine confidence in the currency and thus would be a step away from the sound monetary policy
 As of Dec. 31, 1858, the gov ernment was holding gold in the total amount of $2O, ,622, the major portion of about $1212 billion being at Fort Knox with the rest divided among the hints at Denver, Philadelphia and San Francisco and the New York Assay Office. During the 1857 calendar year, gold in the value of $62,776,OOO was mined in the States, including $7,541, ,345 in Al aska, and the preliminary 1858 estimates place the total produc- ton at $6O,772,32O with the AL aska portion totalling an esti- mated $7,525,00O.

from $15,0OO up. Nor does it in clude $40 per day for their ex- penses while away from their headquarters which naturally enough they should be allowed in view of the precedent set. by the legislators of paying themselves a similar sum.
 This does not include the real major appropriations which are necessary to establish a mental hospital, to maintain an adequate road program and expand it through matching funds to obtain federal aid, to maintain a modern and adequate school system, to give proper attention to health and welfare programs and carry on other functions essential to a sound state government.
 No, unfortunately, the appropri- ations to date are of the "get it now" variety; 'let essentials wait";; somebody will pay for them" attitude.
 This is the sort of approach which brings, for example, from the state of Michigan the news that the Governor of that state had to ask taxpayers to pay their taxes in advance so that the state could meet its obligations. It is the sort of thinking which brings from the state of Washington rumblings over how to make up a deficit now reported at $44 million.
 This is the year of the toad. This is the year he suggests the word statesmanship to the men in Juneau.
 What, we asked in amazement, is that?
 Its what they don't seem to have in the legislature" said he, If you know what I mean, the ability of showing wisdom in treating or directing public af- fairs" There's been some rare ex- captions such as some sound ad- vice by Acting Governor Hugh Wade on projecting the income before setting up the outgo and a good solid vote by Jim Nolan - against duplicating machines and other frills."

SIGHTS AND
SOUNDS
by ElOiSe Banks

Last week ended with fond fare
wells from pseudo sympathetic
haters of pen, book. and ink.
School was out--nOt for just a
day--not for just weekend, but
for three months. Happy days
were here again. The children
seemed to smirk behind their
CLASSY eyes as the final payoff
of the year was passed. A
white card showed how much
the teacher had hoped her pupils
had learned or at least been
exposed to.
Amazing degrees of interest
we're exhibited by some students
who never knew an A from B.
Did we pass2 Silly question,
everybody passes because we
are making socialized beings,
not scholarsl
Schools close their doors and
the streets open their avenues
of learning. Have you ever
watched the early crowds of
children in the streets during
vacation time2 No tagging up
the road just before the last
bell and the flag salute. A ball
and bat have more appeal than
decimals or diagramming.
The last day at school was
really race. Who could get
off the grounds first7 Teacher
or student had rushed in but
who could tell who was the vic
tor as the lines formed to the
middle walk. Shed a tear for
the principal, the secretary, and
the custodian. No vacation in
sight for them, yet.
The blackboardS and chalk
boards were cleaned, erasers
were busted, books were counted
and stored, desks were cleared,
bulletin boards were covered and
the flags we're stored. The end
of the day came early--the bell
rang--the last lines were formed.
Shouts of 'Goodby' and See you
soon echoed through the patios.
In few minutes, a once buzZing
breezway was as silent as
tomb.
| looked about the empty room
and felt little sad. An empty
classroom is a lonely place.
Desks without pupils are barren
spots in a bare room. Closed
books standing in the shelves
have that woebegone, discarded
look. Chalk ledges without chalk
are utterly useless. No need
to stand around and mope--a
teacher without students is just
a mislabled human. You can't
teach the boards or the books.
Nothing to do but turn off the
cooler, close the windows and
lock the door. Sign out for the
last time--School's outline

may face five or six tie-ups. A
trip that took 80 minutes in
1941, drags out to SO minutes
in 1859.
Unfortunately for the mo-
toriSt who must use Wisconsin
avenue, there is no solution in
sight. As Maryland traffic
expert observed, once a high
way begins to carry more than
10000 cars q day, there isn't
much you can do to solve the
problem except separate inter-
secting traffic.
This means construction of
an expreSSWay - running a
nonstop highway over or I'M
der the streets and roads it
once crossed. Since 1916, high
way builders and planners
have put forth many proposals
for a northwest freeway to
take the heavy traffic of Wis
conSin avenue.
Each scheme has met with
terrific opposition. Bethesda
business interests and Chevy
Chase residents are violently
against a corridor which would
pass through their commu-
mites. Park lovers protest pro-
poSals to route the highway
through Rock Creek and Clio
ver-Archbold parks. Proposals
for a river route have drawn
equally violent fire.
Compromising the problem is
the completion of a new Route
240 limited-a ccess highway
from Frederick to Pook's Hill,
just north of Bethesda. This
new highway is carrying more
and more transient traffic to
and from Route 40.
THE jams are going to get
a lot worse" said a Maryland
planner, unless we get a route
for an expreSsway. and the
prospects don't look very
Il light"
