Eskimo Seal Hunters Reach Safety After Being Adrift in Boring Sea

ANCHORAGE R = Ten Eskimo seal hunters reached safety to- day after drifting all night on the Boring Sea in two boats that ran out of fuel.
 The Air Force reported the Es- kimos reached the village of Gambell, which faces Siberia on the north tip of St. Lawrence Island.
 The crew of an Air Force plane dropped food, gasoline and oil for the boatmen last night as the plane skinned over the water at 500 feet in the Arctic darkness.
 Details were not available here but Air Force officers said the hunters apparently reached Gam mel without further help after the airdrop of supplies.

Los Angeles Gets
 Doused With Rain More on the Way

LOS ANGELES tR -- Hardship and sorrow, the negative by-pro- ducts of Southern California's biggest downpour in years, threat ened to mount today in the face of still more rain. As the stubborn storm fingered for third day, the Weather Blu reau forecast another l to 2 inches for the Los Angeles basin which already has received nearly three inches since the rains started Wednesday
 Some districts have been pelted even harder. Tn Topanga Canyon, rainfall from the storm had reach ed 6.66 inches by mid-evening yesterday Azusa had recorded 5.83 inches.
 Although the heavy moisture was pronounced ideal for prac- tically all crops, it caused nuner- ous personal tragedies in urban areas: Families forced to evacute tA1CA1 A4OO0CA liOllACot tS4td cllO rock slides throughout the basin
 Slick pavement and the frequent. landslides made automobile travel a nightmare.
 Flooding ranged from Wading depth to torrents that washed over the tops of cars.
 Landslides were a constant menace. Especially hard hit were streets winding through the fire .denuded hills of the Bel-Air and Brentwood districts.
 Fresh snow fell in the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains and the snow level was expected to dip to the 5,000-foot- level today.
 The usually dry Los Angeles River became a treacherous, churning stream yesterday.

Dutch pcs Stranded at
 Anchorage Goes Home


 WASHINGTON tH - The State Department said today DutcI airliner stranded at Anchorage when it was denied clearance to land in Tokyo has flown back to Amsterdam
 Press officer Lincoln White said the Netherlands KLM airline is sending a DC7 commercial plane to take the place of the DC8, a larger jet aircraft, to complete the flight to Tokyo.
 White said that he did not know whether the airliner had taken all of it's passengers back to Amster- dam. They reportedly included 68 Dutch soldiers in civilian clothes who were bound for West New Guinea.
 White said Anchorage is only stopping point for refueling pur- poses, and not a passenger stop over point for KILM.
 Japan objected when KL.M sub- stituted the larger pcs jet on the grounds that it might compromise the neutral position Japan has taken in the Dutch Indonesian dispute over West New Guinea.

Charges Touch
 Off Harsh Words

JUNEAU tR - A motion for appointment of a special Senate Committee to investigate charges by the Bureau of Indian Affairs that the proposed Nome Voca- tional Education School was a political project touched off harsh words in the Senate today.
 The motion was made by Sen. John Coghill who asked that the committee be appointed by Sen- ate President Frank Peratro- vich.
 Sen. B. J. Logan agreed and told the Senate that in his view, the person responsible for the BIA statement, made at the time it told the state it would not par ticipate in construction or opera tion of the Nome facility, "be called down here to explain"
 How much disgrace can you bring upon state legislature?' Logan said.
 Logan said he felt an investiga- ton was needed because, in his view, it would do no good to send another resolution back there something they can throw away. : Sen. Lester Bronson said he felt that the Congress and tn,
 Kennedy Administration shoult | be flooded with resolutions, t
 show the states attitude on tn l question.
 l Sen. Vance Phillips urged tn
 Senate to act slowly, because tn Nome School was pork barrel legislation and everyone knew it. : s"The statement made by the BIA, that the Nome School was a political project, stpork barrep' legislation, is entirely correct.
 There are four division. There was something for each division when the voters were asked, among other things, to approve bond issue for the Nome School
 There was piece of pie for everyone"
 At that point, Senate Majority Leader R. J. McNealy cut off de bate by moving for adjournment until Monday morning His mo- ton was sustained 11-9.
 Coghill's motion will be taken Up again when the Senate con- venes Monday.

Charge of Fork Barrel'' Legislation
 Draws Indignation from Legislators

2 JUNEAU tR = A Bureau of Indian Affairs charge that the proposed Nome Vocational Edu- cation School is political proj- ect resulting from pork barreT' legislation drew a storm of in dignation from legislative leaders. Senate President Frank Pera- trovich and House Speaker War ren Taylor said the person who made the statement should be retired from public life.
 Disclosure of the BIA charge came in a letter from Gov. Wm- Egan to Burke Riley, chairman of the US. Interior Departments Alaska Field Committee. Egan told Riley that State Atty. Gen. Ralph Moody, meeting with Interior Department and BIA of- ficials in Washington last Decem- Der, was advised that the BIA would not participate in operation or construction of the Nome fa- cility.
 Major Reason
 The major reason given Moody, Egan said, was that in the BIAS opinion the Nome school was a political project resulting from l spork barrel" legislation. The name of the person who actually made the statement was not re- vea1ed.
 1T believe the officials who l made this statement did not know what they were talking about and , they show an irresponsibilits . which i'll befits them for publi,
 life,' Taylor said ? Taylor and Peratrovich said the } Nome school would help the native
 peoples of the interior to obtain
 the education they so desperately need.
 q think the fact that the legis- lature referred this question to the voters = the question of bonding themselves to build such a facility and that it was ap- proved overwhelmingly is an answer to this ridiculous charge in itself," Peratrovich said.
 There is no need to relate the need for this institution.
 Becomes Duty of BIA
 "It now becomes the duty of the BIA to come and join hands with the state government and help build this facility for the people it will benefit"
 ssWe feel this is a matter of concern to every person in Alas ka," Taylor said. 'sWe went into this wholeheartedly, lifting some of the burden from the BIA.
 'sWe mortgaged our future through general obligation bonds for the benefit of children who need an education.
 sWe certainly do not like to get kicked in the face because we are willing to spend money to carry on the duties and respon- abilities of the BIA."
 Peratrovich said that in all his years in public life he had never heard of statement such as that made by the BIA directed by a federal agency against a state legislature.

Senate Refuses To Rescind Wages And Hours Act

JUNEAU lR = The Senate to- day refused to rescind it's action in concurring with House amend ments to the wages and hours act revision bill, SB93.
 The vote was 11-9 against re- versing action
 The bill now goes to Gov. Wm. Egan for his approval.
 Voting in favor of resembling were Sens. Bronson, Greimann, McNealy, Nolan, B. Phillips, V. Phillips, Pollock, Walsh and Weise.
 Voting against resembling were Sens. Bradshaw, Coghill, Eng strom, Hopson, Logan, McNabb, McNees, Metralf, Owen, Smith and Peratrovich.
 The actual vote was preceded by more than an hour of debate on the resembling motion offered by Sen. Howard Pollock, R-An- chorage).
 Pollock told the Senate that he was threatened with political re- prisal by "mouthpiece of or ganized labor bosses for even suggesting that the Senate recon sider it's action.
 Pollock urged that the Senate rescind it's action so three specific amendments could be suggested to a free conference committee.
 The first would have made firms with 10 or less employees exempt from provisions of the act. The second would have pre- served the terms of existing labor contracts. The third would have provided exceptions for conn panies with small business estab- lishments in number of com munities.
 Sen. John McNees told the Senate he thought there were number of changes and nodifi- cations which could be made in the bill but he urged the Senate to pass it and wait year before making any revisicns.
 Sen. Vance Phillips said Me Nees' proposal was the little boy way of doing things"
 If the bill needs changing, let's change it now. That is what Sen. Pollock is suggesting"
 Sen. Lester Bronson said labor tried to force this bill down the throats of little businessmen for years. I am a little businessman myself, and this bill will prob ably put me out of business if it becomes law"
 Yesterday, the Senate heard Henry Hedberg, lobbyist for the State Federation of Labor, de- scribe the measure as a "bill for the little people"
 Hedberg was the final witness to appear before the Senate, sit ting as committee of the whole, during a hearing on the bill which lasted for almost five hours.
 Before Hedberg took the stand, a parade of witnesses represent ing individual businesses or groups of businesses urged the Senate to rescind it's action.
