LETTER TO EDITOR

Are we caught like monkeys?
 The other day friend was de- scribing the methods to capture wild monkeys we used large, narrow-necked, glass jugs he said. "The mouth of the jug is large enough to permit the mon- key to put his hand inside when his fist is open, but too small to permit him to withdraw the fist after it is closed. We put several Jumps of sugar in the bottom of the jar. The monkeys, eager for the treat, thrust their paws in- side, close their fists over the sugar, and are trapped. They won't let go of the sugar and they can't withdraw their hands. Our people walk right up and capture them. y
 The welfare staters are leading us into captivity by a similar method. They put sugar in the bottom of a jar; we reach in for it, refuse to let go, and are trap ped. The bait is federal aid to education--in order to get some of the sugar you must give up some of your freedom. Or the bait is free medical careyou must sacrifice the normal patient doctor relationship.
 The bait of socialism is some thing for nothing It is clothed in noble phrases and lofty objec- tives, but it's appeal is directed to mans greed. And because man is sinful and selfish and frequent ly lazy, he puts his hand into the jar to reach for the sugar.
 But the sugar used by the so- cialists to bait the trap for free men is first taken from the labor of free men by the force of gov- ernment tax compulsion. If we surrender to this beguilding bait, we are more stupid than the monkeys, for the sugar in the bottom of the jar belongs to us in the first place.
 Do you think there is any of this jar-sugar-monkey business in Alaska. The tragedy is that so many people prefer to be cap tured--instead of breaking the liar and liberate themselves into
 honest living and life.
 Sincerely,
 Rev. l.. E. Ost 1 Fortuna Ledge

ANB Protests Stand of BIA Toward Nome Vocational School

We reprint herewith the text of a letter addressed to Robert +
 Bennett, Area Director of the
 Bureau of Indian Affairs, on the matter of the Nome Vocational School. The letter, written by
 Jerome Trigg, of Nome, presi- dent of the Arctic Native Bro therhood, was read in the House of Representatives of the Alaska Legislature on Feb. Is at the re- quest of Rep. Bob Blodgett and was spread upon the House Journal.
 Dear MT. Bennett.
 On behalf of the members of
 the Arctic Native Brotherhood at
 Nome, I would like to urge your
 department to reconsider it's stand
 taken recently on the proposed
 Vocational School for Northwest
 ern Alaska. The comments of our
 legislators at Juneau run parallel
 to our feelings rather closely; l
 will not reiterate here, but would
 like to say that inasmuch as it is the proposed goal of your Educa- tion Department to aid and en- courage the education of our native people, then it seems ap- parent that your lack of interest in the Vocational Education School shows negligence within your department. Education has throughout the world been source of enlightenment to many people and unless the Bureau of Indian Affairs helps Alaskans to attain varied education for it's people, the struggle will be most difficult unless as it appears, it is your desire to sustain the situa- tion as it is.
 Education of our children is our foremost ideal. We want to see them enabled to carry their own in our ever-changing economy
 where opportunity to find em- p1oyrnent is becoming the right o1 the technically trained, which orll people are not. Without tho proper training our children art left the sole inheritance of mini mum paid employment which fail to provide even the craftiest 1 substantial living scale and in turr
 leaves a provocative number de pendent on other sources such a. welfare.
 It was a democratic vote Q. Alaska's citizenry that proved they favored such a school, not the re, suit of pork barrel legislation And it was the choice of ths States Board of Education tha'
 determined its location; certainl, not "a slice of pie" type argu'
 mentation as someone has sait
 of the legislation, So again [ ask, please reconsidel
 your decision and resolve to en courge, rather than discourags
 this program. We need it. Let
 give the Native People the op
 portunity to complete the jobs il
 their own locales that are present ly taken by outsiders, trained outside.
 Thank you for your considera tion, will appreciate hearini your comments on the situation. Sincerely yours,
 Jerome Trigg, Pres, f Arctic Native Brotherhood

 A of the past and will now be coupled with the speculation the recovery of gold from the bottom of the sea.

Move to Bar

The Senate has dropped a

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee had placed such q
prohibition in a bill which au-
thorized construction funds for
United States foreign service

The amendment was dropped
last night from the bill follow

Senator Morse argued that
the subject should be given

added he thought the matter

stead of the Foreign Relations
Committee.
He added he would be lper-
fectly willing to sponsor legis-

dorsement to the compromise.
The so-called Stoneburner
plan will cost about 100000
more than the State plan but
ST. million less than that pro-
posed by the Arlington County
Board. according to John Har-
wood. the State design engineer.
Avoids Homes
The compromise path, how

destruction of a number of
substantial homes in the new
Heather Heights subdivision;
avoiding a 21-unit, three-story
apartment house and avoiding
the Chesapeake g. Potomac
Telephone Co. exchange build
ing on Lee highway.
The approved route does,
nevertheless, take in consider
ably more commercial property
than the State had proposed
and will eliminate a block-wide
area of homes between Wash
ington boulevard and Fairfax
drive.
Mr.. Harwood said 81 homes
win be eliminated instead of
76N that would have been in
volved in the State plan.
