Alaska and Interior Dept. Agree on l3-Point Education Policy for State

states and federal governments t establish for all people in Alasks 1 a single system of public elemen- tary and secondary education. 5. All public schools in the State of Alaska should ultimately be included in the state education al system notwithstanding that federal financial participation will remain essential for some time. 6.

 to children of high school age
 who, for lack of facilities, are not
 in school.
 '. It is agreed that a closer CO.,
 ordination will be established be-
 tween programs of the federal
 government which provide the
 state with financial aid for educa- ton. This will require coopera-
 tive planning by the State Department of Education, the US. Office of Education and the Bu- reau of Indian Affairs The Bureau of Indian Affairs intends to operate it's schools or otherwise fulfill it's commitments to the education of Alaska natives in a
 fashion consistent with education

 the State of Alaska. However, it
 is agreed that state policy should
 be formulated with full considera- ton of the limitations of law which govern federal activities and financial contributions.

|o5 Persons Die In Worst Jet Disaster
By Andrew Meisels

NEW YORK R - Squads of emergency workers struggled in icy waters and biting winds to- day to recover bodies of yester- days air crash victims. They also searched the wreckage for an in strument which might show what caused the American Air1ines jet to plunge to disaster, killing all 95 aboard.
 By noon, bodies or parts of bodies of 65 of the 95 victims had been taken from the shallow waters of Jamaica Bay.
 The shattered planes parts were pulled from the bay and trucked to an American Airlines hangar at Idlewild Airport. They will be studied in an effort to pinpoint the cause of the crash.
 The instrument sought by air experts is a metal globe about the size of a basketball. The device is an automatic flight recorder. It keeps a second -by- second rec ord of planes speed, altitude, direction and gravity forces.
 By careful study, investigators might be able to ascertain whether it was man or machine which failed.

COP Spokesmen Express Concern Over Wages and
 Hours Legislation

JUNEAU tR - Potential in- vestors around the nation have a "negative-shadedo picture of Alaska, c. W. Snedden, chairman of the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce's Executive Commit tee, said today.
 Snedden, who recently conclud- ed trip of several weeks through the lower states contracting po- tential Alaska investors, said only a comprehensive cooperative ef- fort by the state administration, working with legislative and busi- ness leaders, will change this picture.
 Alaska is disfavored with a. growing reputation throughout the country as state with a labor leaning government with more interest in creating labor utopia than in attracting new industries to provide new jobs,'' Snedden said.
 Asked to comment, Gov. Wm. Egan said.
 Statements such as the one issued by the Republican spokes- man at the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner do more to tear down and impede Alaska's resource development than any other prob lem this administration has been
 confronted with in it's progressive efforts in behalf of better Alas ka for everyone
 Snedden said all A1askans are sincerely interested in attracting the necessary investment capital to the state, ssbut our wheels are spinning now, and will continue to spin until we meet head-on the economic facts of life"
 B. Frank Heintzleman, former Alaska governor and vice presi- dent of the State Chamber, said competition from other states and Canada for investment funds is very keen. Heintzleman, who also just returned from trip to the outside contacting potential in- vestors, added:
 Other places also have tre- mendous untapped resources and are going all out to provide the proper economic climate which will allow outside capital to show a profit on the investment.
 Snedden, Heintzleman, State Chamber president Robert A. Baker and past president Robert l.. Jernberg, in a meeting here to discuss actions of the 1862 expressed concern over passage of bills increasing wage rates and reduc- ing hours.
 The small businessman with only a few employees is in many cases just going to have to lay one off" Jernberg said. Mar ginal workers, older folks and students on vacation will find fewer job opportunities.

the pickup expected in a busi-
ness recovery, the recent decline
in interest rates on bonds and
the SluggiShnesS of wholesale
prices, to name just a few fac
tors, have raised questions in
the minds of most economists
as to the strength and dura-
ton OF the current recovery.
A few months ago, it was
generally taken for granted
that business would continue in
an uptrend into 1868. Now this
is not so certain and, in fact,
it may be presumptuous to as
sumo that business will not
top out" sometime in 1862.
The course of business
through this month and May
should provide important clues
to the duration and strength of
this recovery which will newt
ably be reflected in corporate
profits and the prices of COM

VALIC has been licensed by the

base solicitation, Mr.. Marsh re-
ported.
OF the 16 States in which
VALIC is licensed, it can write
all types of business in II, but
only conventional life insurance
in the other four, including
Illinois and Ohio. The COM
pany is continuing efforts to
secure approval of variable an
nuity policies in these two
high-population centers.
Five States Enact Laws
Five States enacted laws in
1861 permitting establishment
of separate accounts by life
insurance companies for poll
cieS involving equity invest
ments. Mr.. Marsh pointed out.
Twelve States in all have
adopted such special laws, and
a bill for this purpose in New
York State awaits only the
Governors signature to become
law.
VALIC operations in 1861
resulted in a net loss of $4,000,
but $4,000 of this was due to
the adoption of an amortiza-
ton basis in the evaluation
of bonds in the company's
general account. In addition.
VALIC had some $124,000 of
homecoming expenses in the
year.
Reflecting a sharp change
in the picture, the loss for the
first three months of this year
was reduced to only $4,000,
Mr.. Marsh reported. Premium
volume in the quarter rose to
$4,000. A firSt-quarter pre-
MUM quota of $85, 900 will be
reached this month. he said.
Because VALIC is a pioneer
in the variable annuity field,
its progress is being watched
not only by its own Stockhold-
ers and policyholders, but by
the entire life insurance in
