Education Aid Bill
The education aid bill passed
by the Senate and sent to the
House contains the amendment 1
proposed by Sen. E. L. Bartlett
giving special recognition to high
cost areas.
As passed by the Senate, the
bill would make about $3.5 mil
lion available to Alaska during
the next three years. The original
bill, with out Bartlett’s amend
ment, would have provided an
estimated $1,950,000 for the
period.
The Bartlett formula applies to
all states with unusually high
school costs.

Japanese Fishing Operations
Sen. Ernest Gruening was told
by the State Department that the
Japanese government will license
no commercial otter trawl fishing
operations south of the Aleutians
during this fishing season.
Gruening’s inquiry at the State
Department was prompted by
talk that the Japanese planned to
increased bottom fishing activity
south of the Aleutians.
He was told by William C. Her
rington, special assistant for Fish
eries and Wildlife, that no Japan
ese commercial operations are ex
pected in that area, although Ja- j
panese research vessels might be
sighted there at times.
Otter trawl gear is a conven- |
tional Japanese method of fishing ,
for halibut. Unless some other !
method is adopted, Alaskans can j
be reasonably sure Japanese
operations will not extend into
the halibut grounds south of the
Aleutians, Gruening was told.
However, Herrington said, “no
such statement can be made with
regard to Russian intentions which
are as yet totally unascertained.”

Military Bases to Use Coal

Parisians Cry Out
“Vive Jacqueline”
PARIS Uf) — The cry of “Vive
Jacqueline” sounded in Paris to
day amid the boom of 101-guns
greeting President and Mrs. Ken
nedy.
Parisians were happy to acclaim
the American First Lady as one
of their own — an American with
French ancestry who once studied
in Paris. There were ohs and ahs
when she appeared, and comments
of “Belle” and “Charmante.”
But Parisans had to look quick
ly to see America’s First Lady.
The French police gave Mrs. Ken
nedy’s motorcade a fast dash
through the Paris streets, reaching
speeds of more than 45 miles an
hour in the busy traffic.
One car in the eight-car motor
cade nudged a woman in the
crowd as it whipped up to the
curb at a baby care center. The
woman was unhurt, and she just
turned and smiled and went on
pressing for a look at Mrs. Ken
nedy.
The expected car with a plastic
top didn’t turn up for Mrs. Ken
nedy, and it was hard to catch a
glimpse of her in a closed limou
sine as she went by.
President Charles De Gaulle
himself made special note of “gra
cious” Mrs. Kennedy in his wel
come address. He gave her a per
sonal gift, a gold trimmed evening
bag and an autographed picture
of himself in a silver frame.
natural gas to various bases for
power and heat.
The legislators were told that
coal contracts for bases north of
the Alaska Range have already
been negotiated and that bids have
been asked for coal for bases in
the Anchorage area.
In the future, the Department
said, all proposals to sell gas to
the military in Alaska “will be
considered with all pertinent fac
tors, including the impact of the
loss of coal traffic on revenues of
the Alaska Railroad, in mind.”

One Narcotic Addict
Unless things have changed,
getting high in Alaska is a mighty
lonely pursuit. As of Dec. 31,
1960, there was only one narcotic
addict recorded in Alaska by the
Federal Bureau of Narcotics.
The only state with a better
rating was Utah where no addict
was officially reported. Nation
ally there was a total of 44,906,
with New York heading the list
with 20,648.
