House Committee
WASHINGTON, OP— Congress
has asked today to appropriate
$43,748,000 for U.S. territories
during the year beginning July 1.
The amount is about $74i mil
lion less than was appropriated
for this year. It was explained
by D. H. Nucker, Office of Terri
tories executive officer, at a hear
ing before a Senate Appropria
tions subcommittee.
“Considerable progress has been
made in promoting the social,
economic and political advance
ment of each territory,” Nucker
said.
“Hawaii, Puerto P,ico and Guam
have practically reached the goal
of self government and self suf
ficiency. Alaska needs federal
help primarily because of its strat
egic importance and also because
of the urgent need of substantial
capital investment not otherwise
possible.
Requested for Alaska is $31,
374,000; for Pacific Trust Islands,
55,810,000; Samoa, $1,550,000; for
Hawaii, $42,200; Guam, $58,500;
Canton Island, $17,000; adminis
tration, $325,000.

New Britain Earthquake
SYDNEY, Australia, UPi — Re
ports reaching Sydney today said
the severe earthquake in the Pac
ific Southwest Thursday caused
property damage estimated at
$13,000 in New Britain, as well as
landslides and power failures.
Messages from Rabaul, capital
of New Britain, said no loss of life
had yet been reported.
The severe quake was recorded
on seismographs thousands of
miles away.
The disturbances caused the
sounding of a tidal wave alert in
Hawaii but the warning was later
cancelled.
Unalakleet to Vote
On Withdrawal
From Reservation
JUNEAU, OP)—Eskimos at Una
lakleet on Norton Sound have de
cided to hold an election over
whether to request that their com
munity be withdrawn from the
government reservation, Alaska
Native Service Area, Director
Hugh Wade said Thursday.
Wade, just returned from a vis
it to the far northern villages, said
he believed the majority of the
natives at Unalakleet favor the
move. The town now occupies
about one-fourth of the one-by
two-mile reservation set up in De
cember, 1941, by the Department
of the Interior.
Secession from the reservation
would result in establishment of
a separate tax system and their
schools could be incorporated in
the territorial system. They are
now in ANS control.
Kotzebue natives on Kotzebue
Sound north of Seward Peninsula
have a townsite and have request
ed clear title to the property they
occupy. The Kotzebue Eskimos al
so are planning an election to de
cide whether to incorporate into
a school district, Wade said.
Their decision, he said, hinges
on whether the government will
provide a modern school building
for the community. Classes now
are held in five scattered build
ings in the town of 1,000 popula
tion. Wade said Congress will be
asked for funds for the Kotzebue
school.
In the tiny Dutch-held island of
Saba in the Caribbean, the 1,000
inhabitants speak English.

Contradictory
Testimony Heard
In Jail Death
FAIRBANKS, Iff) — An inquest
into' the death of a Fairbanks city
jail prisoner was to be resumed
today, after the jury heard flatly
contradictory testimony Thursday
from police officers.
The inquest was held in the
death of Verner Peterson, who
was pronounced dead after being
taken from the jail to a hospital
Tuesday morning. Authorities said
Peterson had been in a delirium
in the jail since his arrest April
17.
At the inquest Thursday Police
Chief Ray Skelton and Police Sgt.
Donald Weinberg both testified
any officer in the department had
the authority to summon a doctor
or an ambulance for any prisoner
who appeared to be seriously ill.
But Patrolman Herbert De Spain,
who was with the prisoner when
he died, testified that all members
of the department had been given
definite orders that they were not
to summon a doctor or send a
prisoner to a hospital without the
chiefs permission. He said this
order was given to all officers at
a meeting last week.
When it became clear that De
Spain’s testimony contradicted
that of the chief and the sergeant,
District Attorney Robert McNealy
asked him “aren’t you afraid that
you lose your job?”
“I don’t see why,” answered De
Spain, “I’m being truthful.”
After the inquest adjourned,
Chief Skelton announced he had
fired Police Officers Claude Man
ker and Harlow Struble because
they “had been criticizing my pol
icies behind my back.”
Dismissal of the two men brings
to nine the number who have been
fired or who have quit in the past
three months. There are 12 men
in the department under normal
conditions.
MILWAUKEE RR. SEEKS
TO ENCOURAGE BARGING
FREIGHT CARS TO ALASKA
SEATTLE, Iff)— The Milwaukee
Railroad is studying plans for en
couraging all possible barging of
loaded freight cars between Puget
Sound and Alaska, John P. Kiley,
company president, said in Seat
tle Thursday.
Western Railroads recently 'an
nounced joint rates with barge op
erators from Seattle and Tacoma
to Ward’s Cove, near Ketchikan,
on pulp mill machinery. These
rates are intended to permit the
U.S. carriers to compete with the
Canadian lines, which have a
western terminal at Prince Ru
pert, almost in gunshot distance
of Ketchikan.
