License Plates Good Till May 31

Motorists now have until May 31 to obtain their new 1862 license plates.
 A bill extending the deadline for motor vehicle registration and purchase of license plates has been signed into law by Gov. Will liam A. Egan.
 The new law went into effect immediately, thereby granting Alaska motorists three-month postponement in the expiration date of their present license plates. Under the law the dead line for registration and display of new plates is moved Up from Feb. 28 to May 31.
 Egan requested the legislation so that registration fees would not fall due during the winter months of low employment.
 Kodiak's Alaska State Patrol Trooper c. E. Hussey advised to- day that all vehicles are required to have and display two license plates.
 "I've noted that many Kodiak area vehicles have only one plate displayed and wish to emphasize the fact that all vehicles are re- quired by law to display two plates. This will be enforced. We shall also be checking on out-of- state plates to make sure that they are not expired" he advised.
 Reistration and purchase of new car plates can be effected in the office operated by Mrs. Lou Veer- man, licensing aoent. in the bank building. The office will be open all day Tuesdays and also on Sat urday mornings for this purpose.

Capt. Richmond

, presented by the President, to any person who, while serving in any capacity with the Coast Guard, distinguishes himself by heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight.
 The third Distinguished Flying Cross awarded to Coast Guard pi- lots since 1856, was presented to It. Paul Breed, October 19, 1861, while serving under Capt Rich mond at the Coast Guard Air De- tachment here. The presentation of two of these rare awards to Sev- ententh District Coast Guard avi- ators gains special significance considering that less than a dozen have been presented to Coast Guard pilots in postwar years.
 Capt. Richmond has just recent ly been promoted from the rank of Commander. On the April 13 date, he left Kodiak as Aircraft Commander of a Coast Guard am phibian aircraft to effect the evac- uation of the two burned victims at St. George Island Upon ar rival there, surrounding ice con- ditionS precluded a water landing and he proceeded to St. Paul Is- land to await the arrival of a Coast Guard helicopter, which he had ordered for use as an altern- ate means of rescue.
 When the helicopter was readied, despite hazardous weather condi- tions and completely disregard ing his own safety, Capt. Rich mond immediately departed for St. George Island with a doctor and emergency medical supplies aboard The ensuing forty-three mile overwater flight was accomp- lished in total darkness, and T landing executed at the village ball field, illuminated only by the headlights of two trucks.
 The patients were rushed to Providence Hospital in Anchorage at daybreak after being taken to St. Paul Island and transferred to the plane.
 Capt. Richmond resides with his wife and their seven children on the naval station.

Speaker Attacks
 Red China Stand Of Sen. Gruenif1g

Sen. Ernest Gruening was at- tackled by Anchorage Attorney Ted
 Stevens speech followed that of evening given before group pres ent at the Lincoln Day dinner at the Montmartre Inn.
 Stevens speech followed that of Dr. Milo Fritz, candidate for gov ernor of Alaska. He was intro duced by Chuck Powell.
 Stevens charged that the junior senator from Alaska has failed to take a stand against the admission of Red China to the United Ma tions.
 In February of last year, a ma jority of both houses of the US. Congress voted against admitting Red China, and Gruening was not in this majority, Stevens said.
 Last July, the Senate for the 18th time adopted a resolution op- posing the admission of Red China and. while Sen E. L. Bartlett, D. Alaska. was among the 75 senators supporting the resolution, Gruen- ing was not, Stevens said.
 "Mr. Gruening's refusal to SUD- port the action of the Senate in- dicates to me that he is one of those misguided Americans who believe that the masters of inter- national slavery should be recog- nized," said Stevens.
 The attorney said it is apparent to him that "the junior senator from Alaska cannot be speaking and voting for Alaska if he does not stand up and declare that he is unalterably opposed to the ad- mission or recognition of Red China.
 "The Republican and the Demo cratic platforms in 1860 opposed the admission of Red China into the JUN. Why is it that we have junior senator who fails to vote for resolution expressing the will of both great political par. ties?" asked Stevens.
 Alaskans in the coming election will demand that each of our elected representatives be counted on the side of freedom. Gruen. Ing IS one of the Democratic spokesmen who doesn't even speak TOT his party" Stevens said

MirrOred Reflections
By SIG DECREE

NEW JET AGE. This week Rev White of the Community Baptist Church received an airmail letter from Boise, Idaho, that was writ ten on Feb. 26. The letter was re- ceived on the 27, but the postmark on the outside of the letter was dated Feb. 29. We saw it. Did he get the letter before it was sent? 0
 Pastor White is now worried. He thinks we have lost one day from our calendars up here. He says according to his usually faith ful D & A calendar there are only 28 days in February this year.
 That's right. We must have about dozen calendars around the office and they all say the same thing. What with astronautS orbitting, jets speeding every where, even a postmaster in Idaho can get ahead of himself.
 Petroleum and natural gas-fuels that together raised the value of Alaska's mineral output nearly 50 percent last year-are seen as major supports of the new States changing economy in Bureau of Mines publication just released by the Department of the Interior.
 According to the study, expen- ditures by oil and gas firms in eX- ploration and development rose from less than $3 million in 1855 to over $50 million in 1859. Mean while, annual value of oil and gas produced in the State jumped from-1ess than $312,000 in 1859 to more than $1625 million in 1861, according to a recent estim- hte by the Bureau.

We learn from National Fed eration of Independent Business report that many Congressmen are appalled, at the constantly increas- ing inflationary pressures brought on by putting more and more civil ian jobs on Uncle Sam's payrolls.
 A representative points out that in the first ten months of last year, 100000 new employees were added, or rate of 10000 new civ ilian jobs month. He points out that in fiscal 1861, the federal civilian payroll reached an all time high of $13.6 billion.
