Sharing Responsibilites
By GLENN MURPHY
THE PEOPLE OF SELAWIK did the unusual last
month, when they contributed enough money to
•pay the transportation of the ANS dentist at Kotzebue
to go to Selawik. Dr. Lathrop, assisted by his wife,
spent three weeks tending to the many dental needs
in the village.
A total of $98 was given by the village. This is
real cooperation between the village and the ANS.
Such willingness on the part of the people of Alaska
to share in the financial responsibilities will help
Alaska to grow and prosper as the biggest State in
the Union.
' Eisenhower Cautions Nations To Know
Soviet ‘Reality,’ in NATO Anniv. Talk
Br JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, UPi — President
Eisenhower lauded the 10-year-old
Atlantic Alliance yesterday as
powerful barrier against Commu
nism but cautioned the Allied to
prepare for more years of tension
and bickering with Russia.
He called on the free world for
unity, strength and perseverance
to win the struggle for a true and
lasting peace despite the Commu
nist “menace and threats.”
And he promised:
“Those who respect the dignity
of man will not fail before the
magnitude of the task.”
He offered every possible ne
gotiation with Russia which holds
“promise of constructive results."
But he cautioned against the
danger of “substituting illusion
for reality.”
The President, himself a for
mer supreme commander of
NATO military forces, was the
central figure at the opening ses
alon of the tenth anniversary
meeting of the NATO council of
foreign ministers. Immediately
before him was an audience of
1,400 cabinet members, allied dip
lomats, Western military leaders
and representatives of the world
press.
The NATO chiefs came back to
the birthplace of their alliance in
the great hall in which the first
assemblage of Allied foreign min
isters was held ten years ago to
sign the treaty, April 4, 1949.
Eisenhower and the other speak
ers — Secretary General Paul
Henri Spaak and Council Presi
dent Joseph M. A. H. Luns of the
Netherlands — projected NATO’s
policy along double lines into the
indefinite future. They said the
Communist threat is at least as
great as it was ten years ago so
that NATO must strengthen itself.
They stressed a need to negotiate
solid agreements with Russia when
possible.
Eisenhower said that since the
alliance was formed “there has
been no further Communist ad
vance in Europe either by political
or military means.”

Atty.-Gen. Will Scan Fish,
Game Fees Measure To
Check for Rights Violation
JUNEAU, UP — A legal club
had been thrown over a key bill
to set up Alaska’s first state reg
ulations and administration of
fish and game resources.
The measure passed the House,
27-9, Wednesday, but Sen. John
Hellenthal, chairman of the Ju
diciary Committee, moved to have
the bill sent to the Attorney Gen
eral for clarification.
Hellenthal said he objected to
the bill on grounds its fee sched
ule for out-of-state commercial
fishermen might violate a provi
sion of the U. S. Constitution.
He said the Constitution pro
vides for equal privileges and im
munities for all American citi
zens. The proposed schedule in the
bill would require non-resident
fishermen to pay three times the
amount charged Alaska residents
in some major categories.
The motion to send the bill to
the Attorney General was -ap
proved.
48-Year-Old Iowa Man
Gets Rousing Sendoff To
Hike Alcan Highway
DUBUQUE, Iowa, (if) — Bearded
Vern Carroll, clad in western
style clothes and pulling a heavily
loaded golf cart, set out this week
on a longtime ambition.
The 48-year-old Dubuque man
plans to hike to Alaska and settle
on 160 acres of virgin land near
Juneau. Tljere he hopes to even
tually establish a hunting and
fishing resort.
Carroll, a native of Kentucky
and a former theater manager
here, said he wants to be the first
man to hike the entire length of
the Alcan Highway across Canada
and Alaska.
“This has given me an oppor
tunity to do something I’ve wanted
to do all my life,” he said.
Carroll was given a send-off by
Mayor Charles Intzinger and a
crowd of people in downtown Du
buque. He figured he can average
30 miles a day and at that rate
Carroll estimates he’ll arrive in
Anchorage in early August.
He said he will accept no rides
and will sleep outdoors every
night except once a week, when
he will go to a motel. He also
will cook out.

State Budget
Tops List of 1959
‘Must’ Legislation
JUNEAU, — The majority
policy committee of the Alaska
Legislature has set April 11 as a
date for adjournment of the first
state lawmaking session.
Democratic leaders also dis
closed Wednesday a priority list
of legislation to be approved be
fore adjournment.
Topping the list was the 26
million dollar appropriation bill
to cover general state expenses
in the next year.
Sen. George McNabb of Fair
banks listed 11 major items to be
acted on before adjournment —
The budget, an amendment to the
employment security act, a “Blue
Sky” law, an amended wage and
hour act, an unspecified change
in liquor control regulations, the
abolishment of dedicated funds,
establishment of a public service
commission, additional mental
health legislation, reforming of
the legislative audit activities, en
actment of fish and game license
fees, and amendment of the state
election laws.
A somewhat longer list of
“must” legislation was announced
by Rep. Richard Greuel, also of
Fairbanks. In addition to all but
one of the items listed by Mc
Nabb, Greuel’s list included an in
ferior court system bill which
now awaits House action, the Sen
ate-approved public lands bill,
and the House-approved local
boundary commission bill.
Greuel’s list did not include the
liquor law change mentioned by
McNabb, and Greuel also said a
measure covering development of
petroleum resources was on the
list of top items.
After policy committee approval
of the April 11 date, the Senate
unanimously passed a resolution
calling for adjournment on or be
fore that date. The measure was
sent to the House.

300 Reindeer To Serve
As Research ‘Guinea Pigs’
COLLEGE — Three hundred
Alaskan reindeer will be used in
the next three years as “guinea
pigs” in an experiment to combat
the dreaded warble infestation
which causes severe summer rein
deer “panics” or stampedes.
The warble is a swelling caused
by the maggot of a warble fly
under the hide. Animal vigor is
reduced and grazing herds “g©
wild” because of the infestation,
the University of Alaska Agricul
tural Experiment Station said.
The station will administer the
project.
In charge of the project will be
Sigmund Restad, animal husband
man and manager of the College
Experiment Station, and Dr. Rieh
ard H. Washburn, entomologist
at the station in Palmer.
The scientists said that “all
reindeer hides in Alaska are now
practically worthless because of
excessive warble injury . . . meat
quality is also deteriorated. On
the other hand, there is good rea
son to believe that conventional
cattle control materials and tech
niques will reduce and control
reindeer warble infestations.”
Treatments will be made at
roupd-up time. Special ear tags
will be used to identify the
treated animals.
Egan Anxious To Return
PORTLAND, Ob — Alaska Gov
ernor William Egan wants to get
back to work as soon as possible.
But the Governor, who is con
valescing from abdominal sur
gery, said he did not know when
he will be able to return to the
49th state.
“My doctors have requested that
I stay in Seattle until April 20,
when they will decide whether
they must perform another opera
tion to remove a gall stone,” Egan
said Wednesday.
Egan was here with his wife for
the launching of a new tanker
that will serve Alaska coastal
towns.
