color than the rest of the
towering shaft. The reason is
that in 1854 a secret and
bigOted group known as the
"Know-NOthingS" fought
plans for construction of the
monument simply because
some of its marble blocks
had been received from for
eign nations and from the
Vatican. AS a result of their
terrorist tactics, completion
of the monument was actual
ly delayed for almost a quar-
ter of a century, and when at
last the work was resumed it
was impossible to precisely

land marble that had been
used in the columns base.

Dog Derby Slated For March 3lst,
 April lst and End

Prize money for the Arctic Club Dog Derby to be held on March 31, April 1 and 2 totals the sum of $3,500 with a separate purse for each day of the tWo-day race as well as a prize for total elapsed time.
 Members of the club announced that this date is earlier than last year to tie in with the other dog races scheduled in the state, and will follow the Ice Carnival in Fairbanks so that teams partici pating there may be invited or may plan on coming to Nome after the races there.
 In previous years some of the Fairbanks racers have shown an interest in coming to Nome, but the interval between the two races was too long.
 Chester Topkok of Teller has been the winner of the Dog Derby here for the past two years and if he wins again this year he would become permanent owner of the big trophy. His time last year for the two days was three hours, 25 minutes and IA seconds and he collected a total of $1,050 in prize money. Last year there were eleven entries from villages up and down the coast. Several of the villages are in the process of having races this month to get the best team to represent their community.
 Last year Wilbur Sampson of Norvick placed second and Eddie Gallahorn of Kotzebue placed third
 An interesting brochure is being published by the Arctic Club and sponsored by the business people of Nome which will give his tory of dog racing which has been prepared by Carrie McLain, Pio- neer Women of Alaska historian. The cover has been designed by a school student, Billy Nuipuk, chosen from over 20 hand-drawn pictures submitted.

King Island Villagers Want to Relocate Northwest of Nome

SEATTLE R - An Eskimo World War II veteran from King Island would like to relocate his villagers on the mainland north west of Nome, away from home.
 Paul Tiulana, big game guide, who takes Sportsmen on Walrus and polar bear hunts, is here for new artificial limb. He lost leg in World War II.
 Only a handful of his people, he said, still spend the winter on King Island where the Interior Department has closed the school. The rest, almost 200, spent many months in Nome.
 Tiulana, father of seven chil- dren, says his people should get away from the snares of city liv- ing.
 We need a place to hunt and fish, and rot place to drink" he said.
 Seventeen families are ready to move with me, but we need help"
 The King Islanders, skilled ivory carvers, would like to move 45 miles northwest of Nome to the Cape Woolley region of the Seward Peninsula, where game is plentiful, he said. They could still return in summer to King Island. Last year, in three skin boats, we got 50 walruses on the ice around the island" he said.
 He plans to go to Juneau on his return north and tell Gov. Egan and others of his hopes.
 If we can get moved the people will have better lives" he said.

Flying Grandfather Breaks Light
 Plane Record

MIAMI, Fla. lR - Max Conrad, 57, the flying grandfather, land ed deftly at Miami International Airport early today, completing an around-the-world flight in 8 days, 18 hours and 49 minutes.
 The flight smashed 29-day rec ord previously held for light planes circling the globe.
 A tailwind boosted Conrad and a companion, Dick Jennings of New York, in their tWo-engined Piper plane on the last leg of the flight from Port of Spain, Trini- dad.
 The most frightening part of the trip, Conrad said, was the stretch across the Sahara Desert from Nairobi, Kenya to Lagos, Nigeria.
 "I started to have all sorts of hallucinations and at times l would black out" said Conrad.
 Conrad embarked on a 25,557- mile itinerary in hopes of cutting 20 days off the 29-day record set in 1859 by the late Peter K. Gluck- mann for planes in the 3,858 to 6,613-pound class. Gluckmann flew a 23,456-mile route.
 The flying grandfather learned to fly in 1928 at Denver and has made more than 75 transatlantic crossings in light aircraft.

JFK Says Aid
 To Private Schools IsUncOnstitutiOnal Is

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy said today he believes across -the-board federal loans to non-public secondary SC h o l-s would be just asNunconstitutional as as outright grants. The President told his news conference, how ever, that this is his view and that he also believes the question of such loans is open to debate.
 Kennedy said once he is con- vinced that federal grants to paro- chial and private secondary schools are barred by the Con- stitution.
 Kennedy has proposed legis- lation which would provide 2 and one-third billion dollars for pub lie schools, but neither grants nor loans to secondary non-public schools. Some members of Con- gress and some Roman Catholic clergymen have taken sharp issue with the President on this. They contend that the federal govern ment can make long-term, low interest loans within the frame work of the Constitution.
 The President expressed the hope today that there will be no move in Congress to amend the administration bill so as to pro- vide for loans to private and paro- chial secondary schools. He added that colleges are in a different category.

Gov. Egan Asks to Postpone Repayment Of Federal Loans

JUNEAU R - Gov. Egan said today he has asked the states congressional delegation to intro duce legislation to postpone the repayment by the state of federal loans to the employment security fund.
 The loans were made to the state under the Reed Act over the years 1855 to 1859.
 Egan said that if the emergency employment security legislation now before Congress is enacted, employers will pay an additional four-tenths of one per cent on the first $3,000 of an employees income, in order to cover the costs of the extended emergency bene- fits.
 The governor said that Alaska owes the federal government S8,- 765,O00 which was borrowed un- der terms of the Reed Act, and also owes S928,0OO which was borrowed from an emergency fund established by Con gress in 1858.
