The Senate Banking and In
surance Committee rejected a
bill yesterday that would have
increased the legal interest rate
in Maryland from 6 to 8 per
cent.
The committee voted 4-3 to
give the bill an unfavorable
report after a public hearing
at which representatives of
banks and savings and loan
associations, and State bank
ing officials spoke in favor of
the proposed increase.
However, the committee
chairman, Senator john Clar-
ence North, Democrat Of Talbot,

ON FOUR FRONTS
Crash Plans Urged for D. c.
BY WALTER GOLD
Star Staff Writer

A member of the House Dis
trict Committee called last
night for better schools, inn
proved transportation facilities,
adequate housing and neigh
horhood rehabilitation for the
Nations Capital.
Representative Springer, Re-
publican of Illinois, said i'm
provements in all four areas
can be accomplished within the
next ten years only If Congress
acts during its current session.
Speaking at the 53rd annual
banquet of the Federation of
Citizens Associations, Repre-
sentative Springer said it will
take a crash program" to keep
the District on an even keel.
He cited 5000 more students
expected next year in District
schools and the further rehabi-
litation of WORKOUT neigh
borhoods" as two examples of
services needing improvement.
Puts II TO Congress
Representative Springer said
this session of Congress should
vote to pay the District a fair
Federal contribution" that
would be equal to taxes paid by
the Government If they were
private industry.
1--WE on Capitol Hill should
not be asking local taxpayers
to pay the Federal Govern
rnent's share of what it ought
TO be paying for the space we
take from the tax rolls" he
said.
The Republican legislator
said the Presidents plan for a
Federal payment equal to taxes
is a start in the right direc-
ton"
On the subject of urban
planning, representative
Springer said annual Federal
payments and long-term credit
are two ingredients necessary
for the successful operation of
the District.
80 Groups Represented
Last nights banquet, held at
the Mayflower Hotel, was at
tended by members of Con-
gress, area businessmen, Dis
trict officials and representa-
tives from the nearly so citi-
zens associations who are rep
resented by the federation.

Trophy was presented to John
B. Thomas, the Federation
delegate who was selected by
the group as doing the most for
the organization during 1862.
In presenting Mr.. Thomas
with a silver cup trophy,
Charles B. Seib, assistant man
aging editor of The Star, said:
"As a representative Of the
Burleith Citizens Association

 Project Chariot

We just can't understand why inc Atomic Energy Commission is going into business of biological invest gallons at Ogoruk Creek Cape Thompson area). few days ago inc Bureau of Land Management sent out release titled, Project Chariot Reduced in Size
 The BLM should have reverted the withdrawn area back the public domain in its entirety because the AEC doesn't really need withdrawal permit to do research biology It the land like any organization that does biological research.
 We have heard that AE.C now wants 10 put faout seaward In that they do not need large of and On inc other hand the northeast border of the proposed to be left after inc reduction of the withdrawal is right on inc kukpuk River.

 We have found out that A.E.C. has no intention of abandoning the proposed experiment at Cape Thompson. By publicizng the 960O0 of biological n vestgation, have strong to suspect that that agency is using the reduction to pull inc wool eyes.

Tt had been raining and the trail was icy. It cut the dogs feet bad," said Franklin Dayton.
 Dayton, a dog racer himsef, was talking about the dogs of Leo Kris ka, 1861 Anchorage Fur Rendezvous dog mushing champion.
 Hughey Kriska, Leo's brother, who was trapping and hunting with the Daytons, had driven a 1O-dog team to Koyukuk to report that Mrs. Jane Dayton. who was preg- nant, was seriously ill with severe pneumonia.
 Upon learning of the emergency, Leo Kriska dashed from Koyukuk to Bishop Mountain with his 14-dog racing team He had wanted to use his motor snow traveller but it had broken down.
 kriska was not at Dayton camp 10 minutes when Jane Dayton gave birth to premature baby girl. He then dashed back to report the birth and to radio Galena Air Force Sta tion for help.
 The message was sent to the Air Force Station by Wien Alaska Air lines radio at Koyukuk. The Air Force dispatched an H21 helicopter, piloted by Capt C. J. Hermann and It. N. T. Williams, along with medic, M.Sgt D. J. Harden.
 The stricken woman and the baby were taken to Galena Air Force Base. Harden is said to have ad- ministered oxygen to Mrs. Dayton and again on the flight from Galena to Fairbanks.
 The premature Dayton baby died three days after arrival to Fair banks, but Mrs. Dayton recovered at Fairbanks St. Joseph Hospital.
 When rain fails on the snow and then freezes, many sharp crystals form. When one drives his team on it, the sled pulls easily, but the crystalized snow is wicked on dogs feet. It wears off and cuts the tough leathery palms in relatively short time and soon the feet are tender and begin to bleed.
 Such was the kind of snow on which Leo Kriska drove his team during his mission of mercy. He knew what it would do to the feet of his racing dogs; wear and cut them. His dogs would never be fit to race in the North American Sled Dog Championship race in Fair banks that was to take place little over week.
 There was sizable prize money to be had if one raced and won in the North American. A racer of Leo Kriska's caliber had definite chances to reap some of the prize money. He had been vigorously training his race team to fine point of readi- ness. In spite of all this, Leo Kriska, upon finding about the suffering of fellow humans, went to aid them.
 And so to Leo Kriska, great dog musher, for unselfishly sacrificing his chances at the North American Sled Dog Championship races to aid the suffering, goes the Tundra Times thirteenth North Star Award along with our congratulations.

 The Cutter Bear

The demise of inc very famous old ship, the Revenue Cutter Bear left many of with feeling of having lost Ia dear old frend whom have known ever since we could remember.
 The Cutter Bear indeed dear old friend to many natives all along inc far reaches of the of Alaska She messenger of goodwill for inc new world cW- zation; she represented the kind and the merciu she offered haven to those who were lost and stranded
 She claimed by the sea which she made fabU- loUs exploits during her nnetyyear life span
 Built in Greenock, Scotland she sailed out of St. Johns, Newfoundland for eleven years then she bought by inc United States. She wasted time in per- forming mission ot mercy, rescue expedition to EIles mere Island in the Arctic
 Later on, she was assigned to Alaskan waters where she served for 40 years patrong the Bering ChUkch, and Arctic Seas In those waters her fame began to assert itself. In the years of 18o71897 she rescued some 500 whaling off Point Barrow. She rescued ice-ocked ships Many times she transported seriously i'll persons 10 hospitals.
 After her long service in inc Alaskan waters she retired but moi tor long, The late Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd reactivated her out of refinement She acted flagship for the Byrd Expedition to the Antarctic.
 During World War Il, the Cutter Bear active service US. Neutrality Patrol when the United States entered the conflict
 After this vital service she was shamefu|Iy disgraced by being sold for ur-seang The proud old ship did not deserve such fate She found, all but abandoned a beach in Nova Scotia.
 The Revenue Cutter Bear to this writer's young eyes when he Was boy wonderful sight to behold. She was like an appartion- proud-as she swayed gently with inc swe|s of the Chvkoh She was beautiful o see when before gale, she knifed through stormy waves under full sail.
 Her departure into the deep on which she braveIy sailed, will not erase inc memory of the great deeds she performed during her eventfUl career in inc Arctic.
 These memories of the historic old ship, along with her deeds of mercy will not be easily forgotten by those who have had more than passing glance of her. She loved by Aaskans. She missed when she no longer appeared over the horizon Of the Arctic seas.

 Native Pof|ufcfl

The native folks of Fairbanks and those visiting here for he big Winter Carnival and dog certainly had nice lime at inc recent pot|atch held at the Eagles Hall, owned and operated by inc Pioneers of Alaska.
 The audience larger than expected The atmos- phere of the whole affair was of good fellowship After one had been there while, ii made one feel, m glad came"
 The feeling this paper got at that gathering was, that native folks were kind of hUngerng for chance to get together in body Once they were together, there air of spontaney that contagious and inc folks just couldn't help but have good me
 Natives are by tradition neghbory but when living in cities natives don't always get inc chance fully grasp of neghboriness The get together" seemed 10 show that such functions needed especially in cities where many natives live.
 Some of US in big cities lend 10 "ius live" In doing become insignificant, except perhaps in bars or cocktail lounges where of lend at times get obnoxioUsy significant.
 The gathering at inc Eagles Hall seemed to prove that native folks in cities need to get together 10 assert themselves itte more in clean fun and fellowship.
 The pot|atch seemed to point to other possibilities that could be developed The entertainment that pro- yided, although not polished, enthusiastically re- ceved If entertainment such affairs could be developed and executed in more polished manner such affairs could turn into fine drawing cards.
 Why not? By developing such affairs natives could make fine contribution to the city in which they live In doing they would be learning to work together. Such things greatly needed in cities and could become good morale builders, needed by natives within the confines of cities.
 While the potlatch was an unqualified success, there few things thought could be improved. Some natives invited their nonnave friends but unable 10 get them admitted since inc gathering was advertised flor natives ony' and regulations to that effect were enforced.
 For better public relations purposes i would seem to US that liberal rulings could be made avoid any unpleasant relations that might arise. Hospitality is an established trait among natives which should never be sidetraoked
 Minto dancers wonderful performers and what a fine contribution they made. While Mnto had some time prepare for their dance the Ekmos were not notified until that evening" Even under this handicap and lack of drums, the group did creditabIe job of performing With lime to prepare, they would, doubt have made fine contribution to the gaheng
 A few shortcomings of the "ge together" will no doubt be corrected the next lime around The values of inc poach far overshadowed its weaknesses Those who responsible for planning the potIach Ralph Pedue eta are to be commended heartily for job we'll done
 The assembage of natives most refreshing af- fair and Was vneservedy enjoyed by those who attended
