The Nome nugget., 1961-02-15

Site No. 2 is located approxi- mately three (3) miles from Nome city center and encompasses an area of approximately twenty (2O) to forty (40) acres or as re- quired by the state. This area is part of the former Satellite Field to Marks Air Force Base. This area has also become stabilized during the past eighteen years from natural settling and me- chanical compaction. Being a for mer landing field, very little land- scaping would be necessary prior to construction. This area is also suitable for any type construc- tion, including basements.
 Electrical power could be avail able at nominal cost This power source would be from the Nome Light and Power Go. Water for all purposes is readily available at the site by means of wells, or pump ing from Moonlight Creek which runs all winter under ice. Sew age is easily available once again due to the permeable scompo- sition of the soil.
 The site is accessible year round

to automobile traffic because of the location of the headquarters and maintenance area of the State Department of Public Works, Di- vision of Highways. Fire protec- ton would have to be arranged, either as an integral part of the installation or by agreement with the Division of Highways and/o the City of Nome. Nome is the regional headquarters of the Alas ka State Police thus affording police protection. The entire area surrounding this site is owned by the United States Smelling, Mining and Refining Go. and therefore you may be assured that only desirable construction would be permitted in the vicinity, there by removing the danger of un- desirable elements being estab- lished in the proximity of the school. Site No. 2 can be served from either Bessie Road High- way 9O or the Nome-Teller Road presently under construction.
 It is the opinion of this com- mittee that Site No. would be more advantageous for future de- velopment.
 SummarY-The foregoing ma terial has attempted to enlarge upon our original request for consideration dated November 9, 1960 We have enlarged on each of the nine points listed in our subsequent letter of November 26, as well as providing additional information requested by the Commissioner of Education and the Director of Vocational Educa- ton.
 Nome has long been an advo- cate of vocational boarding school north of the Yukon River We feel that it will do much to develop the more remote areas of our state. The cost of construct ing and operating such school we realize will be large, and ulti mately will far exceed the $1 1,500,- 900 provided for in the Bonding Proposition No. 3. With this fact in mind we are not only vitally interested in seeing such a school come into existence, but also in seeing that it is located where it's continued operation and ex- pansion can be done most econ omically.

44OO Pupils Need
Books Hansen Says
Funds Asked
To Reduce
Shortage
BY DAVID BREASTED
Star Staff Writer

Fund shortages have left
4,400 District secondary school
students without textbooks In
some courses, Supt. Carl F.
Hansen reported today. 81
The situation is worst in the
junior high schools because of
increased enrolment from the
postwar baby boom" and the
addition of necessary new
courses.
DR.. Hansen told a school
board committee that junior
high schools were short 3,700
texts, and vocational high
schools 700. He recommended
a request for $4,000 to cut
down the text shortage. g.
sum Still Falls Short
DR.. Hansen said the schools
had managed to reduce short
age of 5000 junior high books
when school opened only by
dipping into reserve funds and
having schools borrow books
from one another.
He warned that even with
additional ALLEGATION. the total
allotment falls far short Of the
increased enrolment"
Junior high school funds for
books, he said, actually de-
clined in the past three years
at the same time the schools
were feeling the impact of in.
creased enrolment. s.
In neither high nor Junior
high schools was the spending
rate adequate to meet book re-
placement costs and provide for
new acquisitions, DR.. Hansen
said.
He cited the fact that, until
recently, no provision was made
for purchasing books for new
schools. Fortunately, he said,
the present practice is to allot
$40 per pupil for new schools
in addition to the regular allot-
ment of $5.35 in senior high
and $3.50 per pupil in junior
high schools.
A school official said a recent
National Education Association
national study showed the life
of textbooks should be four
years. The District is forced to
use books, often tattered. for
seven years before they can be
replaced. e
T Some of the new programs
which have created needs for
new books are ninth grade
honorS biology. modernized
teaching methods in biology and
mathematics, and an increase
in basic track and special course
students to 5000 pupils in
junior high schools.
Part of Need Met
DR.. Hansen said, however,
that thanks to reserve funds
and book borrowing text short.
ages in elementary and senior
high schools have been re-
solved"
Elementary schools are using
a total of $285, 900 in reserve
funds and additional author
lied funds to meet their needs
this year.
DR.. Hansen also recommended
today that the size of class
rooms for basic students be
halved in school building
standards.

0kays License
For Rosenberq
But D. c. Seeks
To Bar Extension
For Selling Cars

District licensing officials
were prepared today to refuse
Ross Rosenberg the used-car
salesman's license he has won
for the second time.
The Districts Board of Ap-
peals and Review again yester-
day granted Mr.. Rosenberg a
license to sell cars after re-
considering - at the request
of the city's legal staff-its
earlier decision to grant the
license.
Mr.. Rosenberg's attorney,
Bernard T. Levin. said he
would go today to the Depart
ment of Licenses and Inspec-
tions office in the District
Building to pick up the per-
NIT, which is good for rs days
when the salesman's license
year runs out.
But Thomas A. Helan, de-
putty director CT licenses and
permits, told The Star: II will
not issue the license at the
present time"
Mr.. Helan and C. T. Noting
ham. licensing superintendent,
said they planned today to meet
with other District officials to
see IF something could be
done" about the boards ruling.
Similar Status
With yesterdays action by
the board, the Rosenberg case
stands exactly where it did last
August Is when the board orig
inally granted Mr.. Rosenberg
the salesman's license, but
turned down his request for a
car dealers license. At that
time. too, licensing officials re-
fused to give him the license.
The hearing yesterday GEN.
tered only on the saleSman's
license after the board turned
down Mr.. Levin'S request to
drop his petition for reconsid-
Grafton on a license to run a
used car business.
Mr.. Levin promised that Mr.
Rosenberg would not seek a
dealers license during 1862 If
the board would drop the deal
er permit matter. BY turning
the proposal down, the board
kept its refusal last August Is
on the record.
Sees Inconsistency
Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Louis Robbins, in urging the
board to reconsider its ruling
concerning the license to sell
cars. told the board, 1T is illogi-
cal to say on one hand to Mr..
Rosenberg that you can't be q
dealer because you're untrust-
worthy but you can be a sales
man because you are trust
worthy"
Sucn thinking, he said. "flies
in the face of logic"
Principal Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Milton Norman
told the board it was difficult
for him to appear and tell the
board it erred in granting Mr..
Rosenberg a salesman'S license.
But I feel an error did
occur" he said.
The board, however, appar-
emily agreed with Mr.. Levin'S
argument that an auto dealers
license carried more RESPONSE
bility than one to sell cars.
Mr.. Rosenberg since last June
has worked at Nationwide Auto
Sales, at Twelfth and K streets
NV, as a salesman.
His new salesman'S license
would be good until February
%, when the auto salesman's
licensing year is up. 1t will then
come up for renewal by licens-
ing officials.

Selection of the Mockley
Point site for the proposed SIT
million plant had raised a
storm of critism from the
Mount Vernon Ladies ASsocia-
ton, and park and conserva-
ton groups along with the
Prince Georges County Com
missioners. They charged the
facility would ruin the scenic
view from Mount Vernon, about
two miles across the Potomac in
Virginia.
No Specific Site
Their opposition prompted
Congress this summer to pass
a law to preserve the Mount
Vernon vista by authorizing the
purchase of 1,l86 shoreline
acres for park use.
The Commission did not out
line a specific new site today,
other than to say it would be
further inland than the Mock
ley Point location.
The decision to put the plant
on a more inland site concurs
with a recommendation in a
comprehensive Potomac River
study submitted two weeks ago
to the Washington Metropolitan
Regional Sanitary Board by DR..
Abel Wolman and John Geyer.
While pinpointing no specific
for the Mockley Point
site, the report said a regional
sewage disposal plant should be
built in the lower valley of the

Potent Pregnant
For Sixth Time
Causes Dilemma
BY HARVEY CLEW
Star Staff Writer

A st. Elizabeths Hospital pa
tient who expects her sixth
illegitimate child this month
poses something of a dilemma
for District health and welfare
officials.
The woman, who turns 81 to-
day, had her first child in
April, 1851, when she was 16.
Three months later she was
committed to the hospital for
treatment of a convulsive dis
order and Schizophrenia.
In the ensuing 10 years, two
boys and two girls were born
there, the last one in February.
The case came to light yester-
day when Juvenile Court Judge
Orm w. Ketcham turned over
the youngest child to the We'll
fare Department, which has
custody of the other children.
According to the depart
ment's records, a fellow mental
patient admits paternity of the
first two hospital children, par
entage Of the third is uncer-
tain, and another patient says
he is responsible for the fourth
child and the current preg-
nancy.
Informed of the case yester-
day, DR.. Winfred S. Overholser,
hospital superintendent. said,
I'VE don't propose to run a Jail
here. These things happen on
the outside and sometimes they
happen here. You can't shut
patient up for life"
Allowed Freedom
The assistant superintendent,
DR.. Dale C. Cameron, said the
circumstances of conception for
the four hospital children are
uncertain.
He explained that the wom-
ans mental condition between
pregancies was such that she
held routine hospital Jobs, was
allowed on the grounds and
permitted weekend visits to
her home.
Each pregnancy caused with
drawal of the privileges, he
said, but added that the sixth
conception probably occurred
at the hospital because the
woman was confined there at
the time.
Hospital records show that
the first alleged father was a
patient when the first hospital
child was conceived but was not
there when the second child
was conceived. ...
DR.. Cameron said illegitimacy
at the hospital is much lower
than in Washington as a whole.
He said this case isn't sur
prising because many patients
come from cultural setting
where promiscuity seems to be
accepted"
Some Protection
I'VE feel an obligation to pro-
tect them but we do not think
we can completely preclude
some events of this sort" he
added. ITO do so we would
have to lock everyone up"
Keeping the woman confined
indefinitely would not help her,
he said. If her mental condition
clears up, he added, she would
have to be returned to ordinary
community life.
The Welfare Department has
no special procedure for this
sort of case, according to Miss
Gertrude K. Richman, assistant
chief Of the child welfare
division.
If an illegitimate child re-
ferred from st. Elizabeths can
not be placed with the mothers
family, she said, it is committed
to the departme ent's care
through Juvenile Court for
placement in a foster home
where possible. just like any
other child.
The patients lawyer, Legal
Aid Agency Attorney Alan Kay,
called the situation tragic" but
said this is not an isolated case.
He said he is bringing a similar
case to court this month.
