Navy Promotes
Rickover
WASHINGTON, (tf>— The Navy
has decided to add an admiral’s
gold braid to the uniform that
Capt. Hyman G. Rickover, its at
omic propulsion expert, was once
scheduled to doff because he was
twice passed by for promotion.
Rickover, 53-year-old native of
Chicago, was listed among 29 cap
tains selected for promotion to
rear admiral.
The announcement by the Navy j
Friday night brought recollections
cf the Congressional uproar last
spring, when a secret selection
board passed him up the second
time. I

“THROUGH THE
SENTINEL PERISCOPE”
(The Wrangell Sentinel)
SECOND CLASS CITIZENS
It’s bad enough to be considered
second class citizens of this great
republic, as Alaskans too often
are, but to have it thrown in your
face is going just a bit beyond the
pall -of human decency and the
principles of ‘‘freedom and jus
tice” on which the nation was
founded.
Again comes up in the halls of
Congress that perennial o'ld slur
against Alaskans, as well as resi
dents of the other territories, that
they are not worth the 25 percent
cost of living allowance granted
federal employees in the territory.
Hung on to the Defense Depart
ment bill, as usual, an amend
ment has already passed the
House which would eliminate the
differential to' residents of the
territory who become employees
of the federal government. It
works like this:
If you were, for example, from
Secretary McKay's home state of
Oregon and accepted a job with
the federal government in Alaska,
you would not only get your trans
portation guaranteed both ways
from the dear old webfoot state,
but while in Alaska you would
get, in addition to your salary, a
25 percent additional amount as
a cost of living allowance to offset
the higher costs of eating and
sleeping, in the territory. In addi
tion, of course, you could have
your household effects shipped to'
and from the territory at Uncle’s
expense.
Under the amendment, which
has been making some headway
in Washington, if you were from
Petersburg, Wrangell, Juneau, An
chorage or any other town in the
territory and accepted a job with
the federal government you would
not be allowed the 25 percent dif
ferential, nor any of the other
little niceties afforded residents
from the States, such as free
transportation, etc. In other words
as a resident of the territory you
would not be considered quite up
to the American level of employ
ees from the States and to heck
with you.
That’s the attitude, inspired as
usual in the Defense Department
where it has originated on several
other occasions. It’s class distinc
tion of the rankest kind'and it is
to be hoped that there are enough
level heads in the Senate to toss
the amendment out the window.
It might not be a bad idea to find
the great brain who hatched up
the plot and toss him out the win
dow along with it.
Alaskans can take it, Senator
Butler, but they are not going to'
take it lying down.
