Senate Approves New
Streamlined Public
Welfare Measure
By JIM HUTCHESON
JUNEAU, Iff) — Both branches
of the Alaska legislature met until
1 a.m. Tuesday morning as the
deadline for receiving bills from
each other, and then recessed
until 1:30 p.m.
The House worked after mid
night with the face of the clock
covered by a jacket.
A bill providing fiscal indepen
dence from school districts, which
was pressed by Third Division
senators, lost out in the Senate
on an 8-8 vote, despite the appeal
of Sen. Gorsuch, that Third Divi
sioners had supported legislation
for other divisions and should
have support for their own.
The Senate approved on a 13-3
vote, new Public Welfare bills
which were described as stream
lining department procedures.
The House was still consider
ing its own bills when the Sen
ate closed down for the night
with the admonition that it would
accept no more House bills.
The lower branch passed nu
merous bills at its night session.
One would raise the amount of
aid to dependent children to $80
monthly for the mother instead of
the present $60, plus the present
law’s $30 for each additional child.
The House also approved a bill
to raise the per diem allowance
for territorial officials and em
ployes away from home to $15
daily, but the vote came after 1
a.m. and it will require a two
thirds vote in the Senate to sus
pend rules and accept the bill.

Churchill Refuses Barter
British Businessman For
Communist Girl Guerrilla
LONDON, (if) — Prime Minister
Churchill rejected Tuesday a
Communist proposal to barter a
British businessman in a Hun
garian prison for a Communist
girl guerrilla held by the British
in Malaya.
Churchill told the House of
Commons that members of his
government, after earnest consid
eration, had decided they could
not entertain the proposal ad
vanced by Hungary’s Red regime.
The decision blasted the hope
of Mrs. Winifred Sanders whose
husband, Swar, is serving a 13
year prison term on espionage
charges.
Sanders, 48, is the cousin of
George Sanders, Hollywood movie
star, and was formerly associated
in Budapest with Robert Vogeler,
an American, in the International
Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany.
Vogeler and Sanders were tried
on charges of espionage. On Feb.
21, 1950, a Budapest court sen
tenced Vogeler to 15 years and
Sanders to 13 years. Vogeler was
released after 17 months in re
turn for concessions from the U.S.
government. These included per
mission to reopen previously
closed Hungarian consulates in
the United States.
The Communists proposed to
trade Sanders for Lee Meng, a
Chinese glamor girl Red whose
death sentence was commuted to
life imprisonment.
Lee Meng was arrested by
British authorities in Malaya and
convicted last summer of carry
ing a hand grenade — a capital
offense under emergency regula
tions in force in that strife-torn
region. The British said she was
one of the top leaders in the
Communist terrorist campaign in
Malaya.

SCHOOL NEWS
Third Grade
The following children had per
fect attendance records for the
last six-weeks period: Mark Fritz,
Richard Munz, Carl Peterson,
Cora Senungnetuk and Gabriel
Wilkalkia.
Douglas Davis was transferred
to Shishmaref.
Ronna Gregory has returned to
school after a long illness.
We have been studying about
the Dutch people. We are writing
stories and making pictures of
their life in Holland.
In arithmetic class we are
learning to borrow in subtraction.
Winners of our spelling bee
for the past six weeks have been
Ronald Tingook, Alfred Moses
and Mark Fritz.
Fourth Grade
To establish a keen interest in
everyday arithmetic the fourth
grade boys and girls have a very
temporary grocery store in one
corner of the room. Our groceries
are pictures of commodities all
priced and ready for purchase.
Each child has his turn as clerk
and customer. Real money is used
in the transaction and more than
one article must be purchased.
The youngsters are having a little
difficulty with figuring out the
price of three oranges or apples
at so much a dozen or the price
of a half pound of tomatoes, but
with practice we hope to get these
difficulties straightened out. The
addition of the two per cent sales
tax was a nuisance at first but it
has now become an accepted fact
and rarely forgotten.
Considerable competition exists
between the girls and boys in
learning their multiplication
tables. Thus far the boys lead
j in speed and accuracy with Robt.
j Oksoktaruk at the head of the
list. Among the girl Judith Ah
kolik is almost always the first
orfe to say, “I’m done.”
Irrespective of how one plans
assignments, there s4are always a
few who will finish their work
long before the others. For them,
several books have been made
available and extra credit given
for books read and reported on.
Rodney Boucher has read and
reported on more books than any
one else in our class.
To get away from the monotony
of making the proper choice be
tween a and an, good and well,
may and can, or I and me, we
have written real business letters.
Some of the fourth graders have
ordered things they actually need,
others have written for catalogs
and a few sent letters to travel
agencies for booklets on various
states and countries. We hope
these booklets will be of value
to us in our study o'f geography.
