Handicap Is Slated
For Tomorrow
(eontinued from page onel

continued from page one)
Delaware Handicap. Ever since the
golden triad was born, the Della
ware has crossed well in excess of
S150,000 The record was set in
1857 when the race hit $164,625
and netted the victorious Princess
Turia $120,S75 including $4,000 in
nominator-breed awards. Also,
the winning owner always receives
for permanent possession one of
the most beautiful and coveted
trophies in racing=a solid gold
bowl of an original colonial de-
sign. To the winning trainer and
jockey go solid gold cigarette box
es. Since 1855, the Delaware win
ners were Parlo, Flower Bowl, the
aforementioned Princess Turia and
the past two years-the now re-
tired Endine. Each netted more
than 100000 for her victory.
The exact value of the Delaware
never is known until after the race
is run because of the unique NOM
inator-breeder awards of at least
$4,000, which is added to the races
previous endowment OF 100000
added and includes a retroactive
bonus clause. If a filly or mare
earning an award in the Delaware
also has started in the Oaks or
New Castle, the amount is doubl-
ed If she has started in both of
those earlier stakes, the award is
trebled
The final program also includes
the $4,000 Dover Stakes for 2
year-olds.

Is
Expected To Return
On August Sth

The Delaware General Assemb-
ly will reconyene about August 8,
it was reported this week.
The new tentative date would
mean that the states lawmakers
will go back to Dover at the same
time the nations lawmakers go
back to Washington.
Earlier, legislative leaders had
planned to call the General AS
semhly back into session about
next Monday. The two-week post
poLfement is due to the combina-
tion of the Republican National
Convention and the Kent-Suss,sx
Fair.
A few weeks ago the thinking
was that since no members of the
legislature will be attending the
Republican convention in Chicago,
it need not interfere with activi-
ties in Dover
Also, the members of the Gem
eral Assembly appear to be in no
rush to get back to Dover for a
continuation of the effort to agree
on the bills that blocked progress
L.
Meanwhile, Governor j. Caleb
BOggs finished work on the passed
bills sent to him by the lawmakers
by signing the measure to boost
salary schedules of school en-
ployes. The bill is SB-194, as
amended
The bill provides an across-the-
board increase for all public school
teachers and administrators of
$3.50 for the school year beginning
in September. This would be in adj
dition to any increments the teach
ers would normally receive under
their salary schedule.
1t would bring the starting sal
ary for a teacher with a bachelors
degree and no experience to $3,-
$50, with the maximum for a
teacher with a bachelors degree
after IA years at $3.50.
The Governor signed the bill de-
spite two serious defects:
1. 1t fails to credit out-of-state
teachers coming to Delaware with
their previous experience, giving
them credit for only half of their
teaching years out of state. Noting
that Delaware recruits substan-
TALLY rs per cent of its teachers
from other states" the Governor
suggested the defect be remedied
by passage of House Bill 634, al
ready approved in the House,
which would grant full credit for
out-of-state experience.
2. 1t has made ''unwarranted re-
ductions in salary schedules in
certain supervisory and admins
trative positions" in both the state
and Wilmington departments of ed
ucation. Efforts are being made to
have legislation passed that would
take a more realistic" view of
this matter.

Plan to Restore
EisenhoWer's Five-Star
General Rank Soon
BY Edwin B. Haakinson

WASHINGTON lR = Congress
sional leaders are working quiet
ly on plan to restore President
Eisenhower to his five-star gen
eral rank soon after he leaves the
White House on Jan. 20.
They conceded privately that
some opposition may arise be-
cause, as former president, he
also will be eligible for a $4,000
annual pension and office ex-
penses of up to $4,000. Restored
rank would pay $20,54S a year.
A special act of Congress would
be required to restore the rank
because Eisenhower resigned his
permanent five-star commission
in 1852 when he was first nomi-
mated by the Republicans.
Sponsors of the move to restore
the rank point out that there are
precedents for drawing two gov
eminent retirement awards. Some
civilian government workers have
qualified for retirement after be-
coming eligible for military re-
tirement pay.
After World War II. Congress
approved an act that retained all
five-star generals and admirals
on active pay and duty as long
as they lived. They also may
have two military aides and Of
flee space in the Pentagon or
elsewhere if they wish.
Only three other five-star per-
manent officers of World War II
now survive. They are Gems.

Agnes Schlosser Praised
On Retirement After 30
Years Teaching in Alaska

JUNEAU - Miss Agnes Schlos-
ser who retired this fall after
80 years of teaching in Alaska's
schools, has been highly COM
mended for her long service by
the Department of Education.
Miss Schlosser came to Alaska
first in 1924 to Skagway.
From that time she has faith
fully competently fulfilled every
obligation assigned to her." states
the commentator. "Many of these
assignments have been to the
most difficult schools those in
the remote and isolated sections
of Alaska.
agnes Schlosser has been
teacher who could be counted up
on without question to come sue
cessfully, both educationally and
physically, with any situation she
found during many a placement
meeting of supervisors she has
been the answer to an oft-repeat-
ed question "who can we send
there?"
always ready for the challenge
of new" school, Agnes laid the
cornerstone of education for child
rem at Chicken, Akiak, King Cove,
Allakaket and Nelson Lagoon. She
has taught also at Skagway, Port
Agassize, Crooked Creek, Council,
Fortuna Ledge, Haycock, Gulkana,
Ikatan, Hughes, Kobuk, Rampant
and Tenakee, her last assignment
along with the first semester this
fall at Port Moller.
agnes Schlosser has given
much to education in Alaska
through the years. She has won
innumerable friends, young and
old"
Agnes visited in Juneau last
week and left for Tenakee where
she plans to spend two weeks.
Her permanent address will be
Elfin Cove on Chichagof Island
west of Juneau, where she has
purchased a home.

Miss Henrietta Lund
Gives Interesting Accounts
OF UN General Assembly

Miss Henriet a Lind is
doing some special research work
here for the Lutheran Church
during the recess of the United
Nations Assembly where she is
an observer. She gave an inter-
ested account of what the United
Nations is doing for the people
all over the world.
The world organization which
now has 80 members including the
seventeen new nations admitted
this year is the only hope for world
peace and the advancement made
in many of the African nations
in the past few years is beyond
description, she stated. 1t was hard
to believe she related that many
of the peoples especially of south
western Africa do not have rights
of any kind, even human rights
and education is practically I'M
known.
She was present when Khrush-
chev lost his temper and took off
his shoe and pounded his desk.
This expression of temper from a
Wor dlelaedreetain
world leader was almost I'M
believable, even when it was OBJ
served, she stated.

Fund Drive to Provide
Eskimo Scouts Pocket
Money at Inauguration

ANCHORAGE Up = A drive to
raise $1,000 spending money for
80 Eskimo Scouts who will repre-
sent Alaska in the Presidential
Inaugural parade next month has
been launched in the state.
Col. M. R. "Muktuk" Marston,
who helped to organize the scout
units during World War II, has
been picked to head the drive in
this area.
Steve McCutcheon, southcentral
District Democratic Committee
chairman, said Gov. Egan had
asked him to organize the drive.
McCutcheon said a goal of $500
had been set for the Anchorage
area; $3.50 for Fairbanks; $3.50 for
Nome; and $3.50 for Southeast
Alaska.
This doesn't add up to 81, 500
but McCutcheon said it was hoped
the full amount could be raised.
The objective is to give each
scout about SIS in expense money
for the two or three days he will
be in Washington, McCutcheon
said.
The expense money must be
raised through solicitation because
the military allotment for the
scouts amounts to about SO cents
a day per man, McCutcheon said.
Both McCutcheon and Marston
expressed enthusiasm over the
prospect of the scouts taking part
in the Inaugural Parade.
