 Atlanta police estimated $10,- 900 was handed out in two Negro neighborhoods. Birmingham off cers reported at least 20 of the $50 bills were distributed to Ne groes in that city.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALvERSON

In days of earlier and less per feet telescopes, darker patches very noticeable on the moons disk were named seas, and these titles still cling to them. It is now known that they are only desert plains and not seas.
 Since great modern telescopes, using a power of 15C0, bring the moon within 150 miles, much de- tail can be seen in the ineXpres- sibly lonely scenery of our satel- lite. A great city might be made out, but the greatest building ever built on our earth would be mere ly a speck.
 Modern photographs are amply sufficient for critical study. Ex- animation of them is much more satisfactory than the ordinary view through a telescope. The so- called seas may in truth be the beds of primeval oceans which have dried up and disappeared hundreds or thousands of years ago. They are not all at the same level. The heat of the moon grad ually disappeared.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, R - A railway machinist and part-time hunting guide is recovering from mauling by grizzly bear.
 Bob Wilkinson, Al, of Great Falls suffered a lacerated heel and wrenched knee last Thursday in tree-top struggle with the bear in a wilderness area of north western Montana.

Committee Reports
 Decision Making Policies by Govt. Cost Too Much

WASHINGTON, -tR-The House Space Committee has told the De- fense Department cumbersome process of decision making is cost ing the taxpayers far too much money.
 The committee said the system should be reorganized to provide better management where a pro gram involves more than one ser vice
 The criticism was made in a report over the weekend on the hearings held six weeks ago on cancellation of production con- tracts for two newly built boron type fuel plants.
 Specifically suggested the Pen tagon establish a firm national program for boron-type fuel re- search immediately, the commit tee said it could be initiated by the military services and the Ma tional Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration.
 The inquiry was conducted into cancellation in August of a pro- gram to produce a super jet air. craft fuel. This knocked out Navy and Air Force contracts for pro- duction of boron compounds, the basic ingredient of exotic fuels designed to give extra zip to supersonic bombers and fighters.
 This resulted in the closing of two plants - one a 35-million- dollar facility at Muskogee, Okla, and the other a 45-million- dollar plant near Buffalo, NY.
 The committee agreed with the Pentagon that the plants should have been closed because in creased emphasis on missiles and new airplane design made the fuel unnecessary.
 But the committee said the Pentagon was slow in recognizing the changing requirement.

Increased Costs
 May Force Nome Close High School

With the steady increase in school enrolment, the City of Nome has found itself unable to carry the financial burden of supporting the school. It is very probable that unless aid is re- ceived, Nome in the not too dis tant future, will be able to offer only the minimum education re- quired in Alaska-that is, an 9th grade education
 The possibility of obtaining aid from the Bureau of Indian Af- fairs will be discussed with Max Penrod, area director of schools from Juneau, and Wayne Pratt, assistant chief, branch of educa- tion, from Washington, when they arrive in Nome to study our situation.
 The VIVA Chamber of Com merce has named a committee to compile facts and figures to pre- sent to MT. Penrod and MT. Pratt.
 Members of the committee, who met Saturday evening, are Sen. Lester Bronson, chairman, Dor othy Emmons, Ash Craft, Robert Baldwin, Robert Scott, Werner Bohrer, George Bayer, Lloyd Sundstrom, Conrad Potter, and Mrs. Peg Cornett
 After a general discussion of the problem the committee de- cided that more detailed informa- ton would be needed. The chair man requested MT. Scott to report on the local tax structure as it pertains to school financing, and MT. Potter to compile statistics on school enrolment during the past few years.
 These reports will be studied at the next meeting of the commit tee to be held shortly before MT. Penrod and MT. Pratt arrive.

Gov. Egan Hopeful Additional Funds Will Be Allocated For
 The Nome Road "Network"

In fact, the governor said, he was hopeful within the next few weeks that additional allocations could be made to spur activity on what he termed "the Nome network"
 He noted that 312 million dol lars of the 1860 allocations had not been scheduled immediately. an indicated. some of that money may be diverted to the north western district.
 Asked specifically whether he favored a road link to Nome, Egan replied:
 T sure do. And I have for long time."
 Egan spoke out again today against proposals to move the state capitol from Juneau and said ''the chief accomplishment of this controversy has been to cause deep and wide sectional wounds at time when all Alaska must be united"
 The governor, in a prepared statement read at a news confer ence, told reporters:
 T cannot encourage a move to devastate the economy of one of our cities; an action that would most certainly cause permanent breach in our great state.
 He said the new states con- stitution, activated just last Janu- ary when Alaska became the 18th state, makes Juneau the capitol and that he now is "sworn to up- hold its provisions.
