Mrs. John F. Kennedy is
in New York to do some an
tique shopping for the White
House and If she follows the
advice of one source, she
, will have "a ready check
book and q fat bank ac-
count"
The advice came from an
article "Art Sales" in the
new 1861 Encyclopaedia Bri-
tannica Book of the Year.
Although the Kennedys'
wealth is well-known, the
First Lady probably isn't
dipping into her own bank
account for the purchases.
A month ago Mrs. Ken
nedy appointed a committee
Of the Fine Arts Commission
with the purpose of locating
authentic furniture of the
date of the building of the
White House and the raising
of the funds to purchase this
furniture as gifts to the
White House"
Mrs. Kennedy and her sis
ter, Princess Lee Radziwill
went to New York yesterday
and it is understood that
one Of the places the First
Lady will do some looking
is at the famed auction
house, the Parke Bernet
Galleries.
The gallery is having a
sale Of valuable antiques on
Saturday. However, the
items could be viewed today.
This new Encyclopaedia
Britannica annual casually
describes clocks that sell for
$11. 900, desks that command
price tags Of $4,000; tables
going for $4,000, and a ser
pentine com mode" that
brought a neat $4,000.
18th Century Popular

tioneers, announced a 1860

about 100000 behind their
all-time record year of 1859.
Sotheby's in London marked
sales of $19,234,088, of which
more than SO million was for
paintings. Christie's Of Lon
don had a seasons total of
$9.8 million, a record for this
auction house.
"Old masters brought less
than many 10Th century pic
tures," the annual comments.
The Ruben's Head of a
Bearded Man" sold for a mere
$4,000, while Cezanne's
Peasant in Blue Blouse"
went for $4O6, 900, and the
Gaugin II Await the Letter"
commanded a tag of 1894 900,
a record for him. (Or, rather
for the owner Of what he
painted, since Gauguin died
in 1903-"in extreme want"
as Encyclopaedia Britain
nica's biography of him re-
calls.)
Some SiIverware?
"The historic Louis XIV

100 pieces by Jacques Rot

Order Against
Secrecy Seen
Saving Dollars
By the Associated Press

Representative Moss, Demo-
crat of California, estimates
that President Kennedy's new
declassification order for Gov
ernment documents will save
taxpayers more than 81 million
a year.
Mr.. Moss based his estimate
on a study by staff members
of his House Government In
formation Subcommittee, which
has sought for six years to
make Government information
more accessible to the public.
Mr.. Moss previously had
hailed the recent Kennedy or
der as a big step forward in
removing secret" classified"
and confidential" labels from
Government papers.
In general, the order sets up
a timetable for downgrading
secrecy stamps on documents
of agencies other than the De-
fense Department. 1t provides
for automatic declassification
of most documents after IL
years. Mr.. Moss pointed out
his subcommittee had recon-
mended the system three years
ago, but said the Eisenhower
administration took no action.
IF the new administration
continues at the pace it set
during the first eight months.
it may be possible to prevent
secrecy from becoming a way
Of life in Government" Mr..
Moss said in a statement pre-
pared for insertion in the Con-
gressional Record.
The subcommittee staff came
up with a complicated method
of computing savings under the
new order. Its total figure was
81 l,008,500 and it called this
conservative.
The subcommittee study con-
ceded there are no accurate
figures on the volume of CLASH
fled documents currently in use
by Government agencies"

 Ares Of her 3rd, 4th, and 9th grade children ranged from nine flo fifteen years. She remembers one pupil who left the first grade to get married and set up house keepingl
 She has been happy in her work, Mrs. Metzgar stated You don't teach for thirty years unless you enjoy it." Prior to coming to Alaska, she taught for nine years in north Idaho, near Standpoint. Teaching here in Alaska and in other states has taught her that children are the same everywhere. There's so much good in all Of them. You can't help but watch children as they grow up and take their place in the community. I've seen so many Of them, though they didn't achieve any great financial success, they did become good fathers and mothers and establish good homes. That alone is making a success of your life" she said.
 The retiring teacher has seen the great progress of the Kodiak school system over the years. There were only nine teachers here when first came, and now there are forty five" She remarked on the physical plant of the present school, which she said was splendid"

Highway To Try TO
Help Power Co.

Jack Corette, president of the
Montana Power Company, paid a visit
to the Highway Commission Wednes-
day to see if he could get them to
hurry up with the new road to skirt
the southern edge of Glacier Park.
The propaganda value of the visit
was not missed by the Commission.
Jack was giving them the big eff"
of the rate increase and pitting the
need for gas in the Kaispell area
against the other people of the state.
A 10-inch line buried 80 inches
deep in the barrow pit of the newly
designed road, which comes from
Forest Service funds, would be laid
this fall if the road was graded in.
The Park Service will not allow
the gas line to be built along the
present road because they hope to
eliminate the scar caused by the old
road in this little used or seen section
of the park.
Planning has not been completed

The labor difficulties at Galen blew
up at the Board of Examiners meet
ing Wednesday. The bombastics
brought forth a special invitation to
DR.. E. A. Knight, the TB sanitarium
head, and his business agent, Bur-
Hatfield, to be present at an extra
ordinary special meeting to be held
in the theater of the institution June
1, at 2 pm.
The callous disregard of the only
function of the institution, the care
of people victimized by tuberculosis,
in order to create company union
to embarrass organized labor in the
area, coupled with great increases
in medical costs per patient since
1856 has brought Secretary of State
Frank Murray and Attorney General
Forrest Anderson to the limits of
their patience.
Murray explained that a study of
the payroll and search to determine
why the orders of the Board of Exam
liners of August IL, 1860 (which di-
rected negotiations with the proper
unions) were not complied with
would be the orders of the day.
Notices of the meeting will also be
sent to union officials and others
concerned.

1920 State, County and Municipal
Workers Union, and Alice Shepka,
business agent for the Hotel and Res
taurant Employees Union 500 of

board requesting that they be given

the application is premature and of
questionable merit.
6. The proposed "escalator" clauses
would constitute an unconstitutional
delegation of authority by the COM
mission to taxing authorities and
foreign corporations.
7. The rate would neither be rea-
sonable nor just, therefore unlawful.
An observer who happened to walk
in on the hearing without knowing
what was going on during the two
very warm afternoons would have
thought he was walking in on some

the first ruling by Commission chair
man Jack Holmes was that everyone
remove their suit coats, which re-
suited in a sea of white shirts.
But this wasn't child's play.
Company testimony was trite, and
obviously prepared to keep within
