years William E. Miller Me-
mortal. and Mr.. Budlong, who
scored a 19-length victory last

The Harness Tracks of Amer
lea stakes could be one of the
best races to be offered at the
meeting in view of Mr.. Bud
longs near track record time
Of 2:02.4 in the Inaugural mile.
Hasn't Hit Peak
Many harness racing follow
ers feel Mr.. Budlong could have
lowered the track record of
2:0l.2, held by Thomas B. Scott,
had the four-year-old son of
Bud ite-Maude w been given
sitter opposition. Driver
Charley King thinks Mr.. Bud
longs full potential hasn't been
tapped.
Adios Oregon. owned by C. r.
Bull and L. T. Nottingham of
Onley, Va, recently ran a

Dean Rusk
Appointed
Secretary of State

PALM BEACH, Fla R = Pres
ident-elect John F. Kennedy to-
day picked Dean Rusk, head of
the Rockefeller Foundation, to be
his Secretary of State.
Kennedy also announced the
appointment of Adlai Stevenson as
Ambassador to the United Nations.
And he named Rep. Chester
Bowles, Doom, as Undersec-
rotary of State.
The three appointments were
announced by the President
elect on the patio of his Atlantic
shore home.
Rusk, a Democrat who served
as an assistant secretary of state
in the Truman administration,
was at his side. Stevenson and
Bowles were not present.
Kennedy offered the U. N.
Ambassadorship to Stevenson last
week, but Stevenson asked for
time to think it over-apparently
wanting to know first who would
be Secretary of State.
The announcement of Steven
sons appointment meant, there
fore, that he was willing to serve
under Rusk.
Rusk, 81, is a native of Georgia
and a Presbyterian. He has been
head of the Rockefeller Founda-
ton for nine years.
Kennedy, reading a prepared
statement, said Rusk would bring
to the new administration and his
particular position a long record
of ability in the field of foreign
affairs.
The President-elect mentioned
specifically Rusk's former asso-
citation with the State Department.
On the new administration
foreign policy, Kennedy said he
hoped that it will become gen.
orally identified with the concept
of being "for freedom" and not
simply ti-Communist.
Rusk told the news conference
he is accepting "a compelling and
sober responsibility"

DR.. WOOD GREETED
THIS MORNING BY
G. OF G. MEMBERS

University of Alaska's president
DR.. VIM. Wood and Mrs. Wood
were greeted this morning by
members of the Chamber of Com
MERGE on whose invitation their
visit to Nome is being made. The
couple were taken to the North
Star to attend the regular noon

lagos as possible by bush plane
returning in time to meet with the
staff of the Nome School before
dinner. A seven o'clock dinner is
planned for the members of the
Board of Directors of the Chamber
and the special committee which
made the arrangements for the
visit of DR.. and Mrs. Wood.
If there is time before depart
ure on Wednesday morning the
guests will be taken to the areas
proposed for the new vocational

No Pre-Holiday Checks
For State Employees

JUNEAU = State employees
won't be getting their December
pay checks the day before Christ
mas this year as has been Gus
tom in the past few years.
Commissioner of Administration
Floyd Guertin said the increase
in state personnel to 2,400 this
year over 900 at fiscal 1859 year
makes it impossible to process
payrolls in each department and
get them to the office of admin
istration in time for checks to be
made out earlier than the end of
the month.
State employees are paid on a
monthly basis and departments
must process and submit payroll
records by the 18th of each month
for the Administration Depart
ment's Division of Finance.
"Sure, we could possibly rush
checks through at our end of it
but the current volume of payrolls
is beyond the scope of processing
through the departments a week
ahead" Guertin said.
Guertin added that it is "vir-
tually impossible" to handle the
load any faster than is being done.
The custom in the past few
years has been to present the De-
cember pay checks the day be-
fore Christmas to employees who
had accrued and five day leave
enough salary time to cover the
interim to the end of the month.
estate employees will have to get
their paychecks just as employees
of most businesses in Alaska do
on payday" said Guertin.

Nuts For Jet Engines

TUCSON, Ariz. R = A jet
engine will swallow almost any
thing, and as result often suf-
fers from that tired rundown
feeling.
There are numerous cures, but
the cheapest so far is dose of
walnut shells.
Jet doctors have found they
can restore a patients zip by
feeding shells through the air in
take. Once inside, the shells prove
just abrasive enough to clean out
the accumulation of jet fuel
grease, bird feathers, sand and
old newspapers.
Previously sick jet engine had
to be torn down, cleaned and hand
polished, a lengthy and costly
operation. Now the cure can be
effected in four minutes with a
$500 sack of walnut shells.

Forest Rangers Search
For Last Airman in
Zero Temperatures

PLATTSBURGH, N. Y. R =
Forest rangers battled snow and
zero temperatures today in an at
tempt to track the last of eight
airmen still missing since Friday
night, when the crew parachuted
from its disabled jet bomber into
the Adirondacks mountains.
The search for Staff Sgt. Pierre
Maheux, 81, of Auburn, Maine
suspended Sunday night as a
snowstorm approached-centered
in rugged terrain near North Hud-
son, N. Y, where parachute be-
lieved to be Maheux's was spotted
The other airmen were found
alive within a 20-mile radius of
the search area. Some were in
jured in landing in trees, one
severely.
Their B52 crashed in flames
near Barre, VT, about 100 miles
east of North Hudson.
All were taken to Plattsburgh
Air Force Base.

FOotpath Is Wore Out

LONDoIN VT - DuCh1IlSIldlIl
Palace guardsmen have won a
new 35-yardlong strip of pave
ment for stomping out their sentry
duty inside the palace gates. It's
level, and a boost to morale.
The stiff-backed guardsmen,
moved inside the gates IA months
ago to protect them from Fostering
tourists, had stomped to pieces
the old gravel and stone footpath
between their boxes.
The footing got so uneven all
their training was useless. They
were slipping and sliding instead
of wheeling and dealing.
The palace called for the new
pavement after the guardsmen, in
mild rebellion, dragged out an old
British axiom: "It amt the 'eavy
'auling that 'urts the 'orses 'oofs,
it's the 'ammer, 'ammer, 'ammer
on the ard 'ighway."

Suit Against Army
Brings About Discharge

MIAMI, Fla. R - A Miami
man is getting out of the Army
ahead of time because the service
made him a weatherman instead
of missileman.
Spec. Fred w. Garlick brought
suit in U. S. District Court in
Texas, charging the Army failed
to honor its recruiting promise
that he'd have choice of mill
tary schools. He asked to become
a missileman and wound UP a
Weatherman.
His attorney said Sunday the
Army has decided to give Garlick
a discharge this week rather than
fight his "breach of promise" law
suit.

Far Less Radiation
In Last Orbit Shot

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Up - Air
Force scientists said today human
tissue and other biological speci-
mems sent up in the Discoverer
XVIII satellite last week en-
countered far less radiation than
similar material in the Discoverer
XVII shot last month.
Technicians at the School of
Aviation Medicine at Brooks Air
Force Base began examination of
seven types Of human tissue, ami
NAL and human blood, bacteria
and radiation detecting equipment
carried in the satellites three-day
flight around the earth.
DIR. George w. Crawford, a
nuclear physicist at the school,
said a preliminary examination of
radiation detectors called needle
dosimeters showed that radiation
through which the gold plated
space capsule moved in it's 48
trips around the earth was a great
deal lower in intensity than that
which bombarded Discoverer XVII
on its million mile flight.
He explained that the Dis
coverer XVII was shot into orbit
shortly after solar flare, or ex-
plosion of gases on the surface
of the sun. The flare, described
as near-record in size, caused a
great increase in radiation.

Thousands IdIed
(By The Associated Press,

Gripping prewinter snoWstorm
showed under the United Nations
and Wall Streets bulls and bears
in New York today, idled govern
ment employees in Washington,
D. c., and grounded a freighter
in Chesapeake Bay.
Scheduled morning meetings of
the U. N. General Assembly were
cancelled by New York's heavy
snow.
In Chesapeake Bay, the freight
er Edgar Hogshire, with II per-
sons aboard, was grounded as the
raging snoWstorm struck Mary
land in full force. Two men were
rescued in separate operation in
the bay during the storm. Two
persisted.
The blizzard delayed the open
ing of the New York Stock Ex-
change and the American Stock
Exchange in New York and closed
government offices in Washing
ton. Only two offices concerned
with the nations security were
kept open.
In New York, with transporta-
ton at a standstill, hundreds of
thousands were kept from work
when some highways were block
ed and some commuter trains
were Cancelled. For the first time in
the memory of veteran employees
the New York Public Library had

snow continued to fall.
The storm, driven by high
winds out of the southwest, also
battered New Jersey, Philadel-
phia, Central Indiana, Baltimore,
Kansas City, Boston and many
other cities. At least Is deaths
were attributed to the storm over

Report Gard
By CONRAD H. POTTER
Superintendent of Schools

Many of our patrons and the
public have expressed their in
terest and views relative to our
Hot Lunch Program. AS matter
of information we would like to
point out, very briefly, what the
operation involves and, in gen.
eral, what such a program costs.
The only way we can economic
ally operate lunch program is
through participation in the De-
partment of Agriculture Surplus
Commodity Program. Under that
contract we are bound to adhere
to several hard and fast regula-
tions which tend to control the
operation. For example, one speci-
fic requirement, which is sound,
insists upon balanced, nutrition
al meal providing minimum guam
titles of the seven basic foods. On
occasion, this results in a lunch
which, in the opinion of some, is
excessive.
Other contractual agreements
require the proper handling and
storage of surplus commodities.
This can become a burden when
you consider that we do not have
the space. Most schools which
operate hot lunch programs have
adequate kitchens, freezers, and
cold storage facilities. We do not
and must rent, thus adding to our
operating costs.
The agreement specifically for
bids the preparation of food in
and by commercial establishments
unless an exception is granted by
the State Commissioner of Educa-
ton. Each year we must request
the permission and seek COM
mercial firm to prepare our
lunches. In any event the costs
are increased considerably and
the food must be transported to
and from the restaurant. We are
fortunate that the North Star
agreed to prepare our food and
for the excellent job they have
been doing.
These are but a few of the
ramifications involved in the pro-
gram and will serve to point up
the problem.
This year we planned and at
tempted to operate the program
for an additional two months. APP
parently we have misjudged the
patron attitude toward the ex-
