UNFAIR DISTRIBUTION OF REINDEER MEAT
According to the Juneau Empire, 1082 reindeer
were slaughtered on Nunivak Island this fall, from
a herd of over 5,000 deer and shipped away from this
area, to the various government institutions in other I
parts of the Territory, by government transportation.
According to the article the reindeer was sold for
35 cents a pound.
One of the outstanding problems confronting
those who live in Northwestern Alaska is that of the
high cost of living. Part of this is due to the fact that
only a small percentage of food stuffs can be produced;
here in the short growing season. The high cost of j
transportation, due to the distance from the States, |
brings the cost of staples and meat excedingly high.
In all fairness to the residents of the area immedi
ately surrounding the location of this herd, this supply
of meat should be accessible for their needs and only
the surplus taken on the long-expense haul south. The
people north of Nunivak need the meat far worse than
those in southeastern and southwestern Alaska. It
takes but a minimum of reasoning to figure out that
the present program is creating a situation both unjust
and unfair to people of Northwestern Alaska.

Pacific Coast Shipping
Returns to Normal After
Agreement Is Reached
SAN FRANCISCO, (TP)—Pacific j
Coast shipping returned to nor- 1
mal Tuesday after being partially j
crippled by a week-long walkout i
of AFL sailors protesting govern

A total of 28 ships, tied up for
lack of crews, was released fol

tween the Sailors Union of the

GOFs Cautious
In Reduction Of
Spending, Taxes
AUGUSTA, Ga, (/P) — Presi
dent-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower
and his fiscal advisers are taking
a cautious approach to the prob
lem of reducing federal spending
and the companion goal of cutting
taxes as soon as possible.
A week after Eisenhower’s el
ection, the signs are there will be
little, or no bullish talk about
quick achievement of either goal
by the Republican administra
tion taking over in January.
Sen. Eugene D. Millikin of Colo
rado, who will be chairman of the
tax-writing Senate Finance Com
mittee, always is a conservative
man when it comes to forecasts
about tax and spending cuts.
But he outdid himself in talk
ing about the subject against the
background of his meeting with
Eisenhower.
Millikin said he would like
nothing better than to see taxes
reduced. But he added it would
be foolhardy to cherish more than
a fond hope until Congress gets
a look at the budget President
Truman will submit to Congress
in January, before Eisenhower’s
inauguration.
The spending program, said
Millikin, will be the key to the
whole thing.
And while he noted that Eisen
hower, once in office, will be
free to recommend a reduced pro- |
gram, the senator didn’t appear i
optimistic about the possibility of
big-scale cuts that would open the
wray for tax inductions.
Eisenhower himself pledged
during the campaign to cut both
spending and taxes—but he didn’t
say it could be done quickly. He
set a goal of a 60-billion dollar
budget by the fiscal year start
ing July 1, 1954, a reduction of
more than 20 billion from the j
current level.

Construction Resumes On
H-bomb Plant^After Strike
By Electrical Technicians
AUGUSTA, Ga., (/P)—Full-scale
construction resumed Tuesday at
the vast Savannah River H-bomb
plant after striking technicians
withdrew their pickets.
About 200 highly skilled tech
nical workers, members of the
AFL American Federation of
Technical Engineers, struck Mon
day in a dispute with the Miller
Electrical Co. of Jacksonville,
Fla., a sub-contractor.
Joseph Garvin of Philadelphia,
union official, said picket lines
and road blockades shut down all
work. About 37,000 workers are
building the sprawling installa
tion in Aiken County, South Caro
lina, 14 miles east of Augusta.
