Furthermore, he said, the
grants have prompted "the ex-

benefit, without necessarily
contributing to the public pur-

designed"
Although the original intent
of the tuition grant program
was to permit children to avoid
forced attendance at integrated
public schools, use of, the grants

which may be a difficult TASK.
Both State legislators are
candidates for Maryland's new
Congress-at-large seat, and it
'is-possible the unit system may
have an effect on the outcome
lof the election.
The jousting between the
legislators, who have been serv-
ing together in the House of
Delegates for several years, be-
gan after Royce Hanson, chair
man of the Maryland Commit
tee for Fair Representation,
suggested elimination Of the
unit system.
., -. How 1t Works -
Under this system, candidates
for Statewide offices in pri-
maries are not selected by
popular vote, but by the number
of unit votes they get from the
counties and Baltimore City.
For each county or legislative
district in Baltimore City that
a candidate carries, he gets a
number OF unit votes equal to
the number Of State legislators
I'm the county or legislative dis
'trict.
The Committee for Fair
Representation, which has re-
,apportionment Of General AS
sembly seats as its primary aim,
has strongly criticized the unit
system as giving the rural areas
TOO much voice in the nomina-
ton of candidates. There have
been times when candidates for
Statewide offices have won the
popular vote but lost the unit
vote. t.-.,@. .>.,-

 Back in 1927 or 1928, I was told by young man in Herschel Island that.a person wanted to see e'me very badly. did not know who he was or where he was staying as I was new stranger there in the Island.
 I said to the young man If he could show me where the person lived, then I would go meet him.
 When we entered his lodge, the man asked me if I'm the stranger.
 Why yes." answered him.
 .I,asked him why he wanted to see me and he asked if had ever heard his name mentioned before. an- swered him that I had. He said he was Angugalook and that he was from Natchelik (meaning where there's seals).
 He said the reason why we wanted to see me was rumor going about among the people in Barrow. He said I may not like it or not, but there are people who would not come close to him because they were afraid.

POINT HOPE (SpeciaD - Seal hunting this year was as good as last year, lots of seals. haveskilled as much as need, and so has every one. But for polar bears, hate to tell you that news. There were so many planes here this year that the polar bears did not come near our shore. They were reported 100 miles off shore. That's the nearest they ever came this year. None of our people here killed polar bear. Tracks were not even seen.
 No Chance
 l have covered good many miles by dogteam to search for polar bear. But I finally had to give it up. There were no chances, with 13 planes hunting out of here. Sure enough the bear hunters have killed as many as they want. From 2 to 4 bears were brought in a lot of time by the plane hunt CTS. We sure hated that, but nothing the village could do about it. Of course, some people make a few dollars from the bear hunters, but not enough to grub stake a mouth.
 Lost Income
 Polar bear has been our biggest cash income in our village from years past. But this year it wasn't. Seal has, been, our biggest cash in- come for the past couple of years.
 We hope that things will change, but to me it looks worse every year.
 Now for whaling. In March, whalers were so busy covering their wood frame 24-foot umiaks, with oogruk raw hides.
 Each umiak take six oQgruks to cover the works, all six are sewn together by women sewers. When the skinboat is finished, it's taken outside to be dried by wind and sun, and to be sun-tanned.
 When each umiak is finished, the captains wife passes around ,cand- les and bubble gum to the kids, which is the custom, for good luck.

In the middle of the river. we saw a hole in the ice, hole big enough for any human being, if he dived.
 A coil of line was along side the hole. and Angugalook said to his men to bind him. hand and feet. This they did. l opened my eyes then when they began to undress him. Angugalook said something I couldn't understand, then walked to the edge of the hole and jump in feet first. The line whats on the ice travelled as if some runner was away with it..
 These four men held the line, and within about ten minutes, the line started stacking. The men pulled it in.
 We'll, what you know: Here comes out Angugalook and he had fresh seal and fresh fish. Its unbeliev. able, but it's true. We've seen it with our own eyes.

 And a week later two more were killed again on the same day, one by Tony Webber and one by Roy Vincent. It sure was another labor day.
 Most all ice cellars are pretty well supplied with muktuk now. Four thousand pounds of muktuk have been sold to Nome, and l,20O pounds to Barrow. It was good to have a little money.

MoryIond's Slots

There was little reason to suspect, as
recently as a few weeks ago, that slot
machines would figure prominently as
an issue in the Maryland gubernatorial
campaign. For this at least has been
one subject which Governor Tawes and
his Republican opponent, Frank Small,
have viewed in the past with a single
eye. Their position, reaffirmed on his
part the other day by Mr.. Small, has
been that the existence of one-armed
bandits in four Southern Maryland
counties was local issue which should
be left to the discretion of the voters
Immediately concerned.
Now, presumably, that has changed.
According to David Hume, who favors
State legislation to abolish the slots, he
and Mr.. TaweS have reached an entente
cordiale on the whole question. Obvi-
ouSly someone has reversed or at least
changed his stand. And the fact that
Mr.. Hume is doing all the talking sug-
gestS strongly that it is Mr.. Tawes who
has retreated. How far? Is he now ready,
as condition Of his newly-won support
from Mr.. Hume, to wage all-out war on
slot machines? No one knows.
For his part, Mr.. Tawes is extremely
coy. His timing" in disclosing the de-
tails Of his present position, the Gov
ernor says, "is an important factor in
the campaign" But the fact is, we sus-
pect, that Mr.. Tawes finds himself in
something of a box with Democratic
allies other than Mr.. Hume. The manner
in which he extricates himself will be
watched with interest-not only by
those Southern Maryland voters who
believe that their slot machines are no
business of the State, but by many voters
in other parts Of Maryland who feel
strongly that they are.

dress to the governors, Mr.. Jacobson
urged foreign bankers to free more of
their capital for export-either to the
United States or to projects in the less
developed countries-moves that would
be helpful in balancing our payments.
He has also spoken out against raising
the price of gold, devaluation of the
dollar, which would offer quick profit
to foreign holders of gold.
Over all, Mr.. JacobsSon's message
is that the United States and its &C
sociates in the Fund should do less
fretting and more cooperating about
keeping free world currencieS stable and
international trade healthy. 1t sounds
like reasonable prescription.

Democracy in Syracuse

In difference to the demands of
practical politics, "bossism" was very
much in evidence at the New York State
Democratic Convention. 1t may not,
for that matter, be missing in the EN-
pire State Republican management, but
its practice in the Democratic conven-
ton at Syracuse was classic in terms Of
wheeling and dealing in the smoke
filled rooms.
It's end result is a State ticket
headed by an amateur in politics,
Robert NJ Morgenthau, as the nominee
for Governor. Mr.. Morgenthau comes
of family well known in public service.
He has been naval officer and an able
United States Attorney for the Southern
District of New York. He has never run
for elective office and up until mid
summer there had been no suggestion
he was about to. Others, however, had
declared their active interest in the
party'S gubernatorial nomination.
Then "the word" came, at first
quietly and then more firmly, that Mr..
Morgenthau was the choice of Mayor
Wagner of New York City and former
Senator Lehman-who had taken the
lead successfully last year in fighting
the "bossism" of Tammany Hall chief
tain Carmine De Sapio. AS 1t happened,
even this sponsorship was not quite
enough to put Mr.. Morgenthau over
until Representative Charles Buckley of
the Bronx, an oldtime boss among
bosses, delivered the critical convention
support.
Mr.. Morgenthau has mighty tough
job ahead Of him, and not long in which
to do 1t. His first task, If either he or
his sponsors can accomplish it, will be
to patch up the scars from Syracuse.
The next, with a Seven-weeks time al
lowance, will be to convince the rest of
New York State that he should have
Nelson Rockefeller's job. Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter is confidently thinking otherwise.
