Agree on Balanced
Budget, Tax Boost
' By LEROY HITTLE
OLYMPIA, UPi — The special
session of the Washington Legis
lature adjourned early Saturday
after giving Governor Rosellini
the balanced budget he demanded
75 days ago.
It exceeded all previous records
for spending and taxation.
The legislators approved a- two
billion dollar state spending pro
gram and boosted taxes 112 mil
lion dollars to help pay for it.
Final action came in the wee
hoilrs of the 15th day of the spe
cial session.
Rosellini called the special ses
sion after Democrats who con
trolled both House and Senate
failed during the 60 days of the
regular session to agree on a bud
get and taxes to balance it.
When differences had finally
been resolved the measure passed
the Senate 55-1 Friday night and
was approved by the House 59-28
just across the midnight' border
line into Saturday morning.
Approval of the last bills before
the Legislature boosted to 834 mil
lion dollars the amount of basic
general fund money which the
Legislature authorized various
state agencies to spend during the
two-year period beginning July 1.
Taxes were raised by 112 mil
lion dollars. The new taxes, added
to the revenue that will come in
from existing taxes, will, balance
the general fund budget and per
mit reduction of the accumulated
deficit from a potential 80 mil
lion to about 36 million when the
next biennium ends June 30, 1961.

Anchorage Rolls Out Red Carpet For
Jubilant, Travel-Weary Michigan ’59ers
ANCHORAGE, UP) — This boom
ing city, Alaska’s largest, was in
complete surrender to a road
weary, happy band of modem pio
neers who call themselves the Mi
chigan ’59ers.
They rolled into town Friday
— 37 men, women and children
who left the Detroit area days
ago in a 5,000-mile trek to a new
life on this spanking new state’s
Kenai Peninsula.
With the ’59ers were seven
dogs — no other pets — and five
strangers they picked up along
the way.
Their 17 cars and trucks, 6 house
trailers and two cargo trailers
were packed to overflowing with
all of their worldly possessions, in
cluding tools with which to carve
a living from the wilderness.
Fun-loving, boisterous Anchor
age gave them a welcome they’ll
probably not soon forget.
The was a noisy escort from the
outskirts of Anchorage to City
Hall, where the ’59ers stepped up
a red carpet to a greeting by May
or Hewitt Lounsbury and other
civic dignitaries.
There was a wonderful repast at
a modem Anchorage restaurant.
And there was friendship all
around them.
Ronald Jacobowitz, leader of
the caravan, said the weekend
would be devoted to rest and to
acceptance of only a few of the
many offers of hospitality the
’59ers have had.
“It’s a wonderful group- of
people we’re with, and it’s a won
derful group of people we have
met,” Jacobowitz said.
“The way our people have
worked together getting here, I
don’t think we will have too much
trouble on the Peninsula.”
Jacobowitz said that when fed
eral offices open Monday the
group will start the process of
homesteading land on the Kenai

Peninsula. He said a small advance
group would probably be sent - to
the Peninsula to look over the
area and then report back to the
rest.
The homesteaders: will remain
together in a cooperative venture
on the Kenai. They will pool all
of their resources,- their tools,
their labor and their yield.
Jacobowitz’ eyes took on a far
away look as he told of the plans
of the ’59ers, but not too faraway.
After traveling for some 4,800
miles, the 224 miles to the home
stead area was just a step away.

tion to liberalize the unemploy
ment compensation program.
Gruening noted that Alaskans
for years pleaded with the gov
ernment for control of its fish
eries. ' *•
“The failure to do so is directly
responsible now for the present
high figures of unemployment in
Alaska,” he said. “Consequently
it is a federal responsibility to
take care of those unemployed
and remove the causes of their
unemployment.”
Gruening said that although
smaller in population, Alaska’s
6,588 unemployed exceeds numer
ically the unemployment found in
Delaware, Nevada, New Mexico,
South Dakota, Vermont or Wyo
ming.

The State Department has re
ported unfavorably to the Sen
ate Banking Committee on a bill
by Sen. Bob Bartlett to permit
the free marketing of gold ;
Expressing views similar to
those voiced earlier by the Treas
ury Department, State said the bill
would have the effect of creating
a second unofficial price for gold
which would fluctuate according
to demand.
It said it believed the proposal
“would undermine confidence in
the dollar and clearly be a step
away from the sound monetary
policies which have enabled sus
tained, postwar economic growth.”
Atomic Sub Heads Home
After Successful Polar
Voyage Under Arctic Ice
WASHINGTON, W> — The nu
clear submarine Skate is heading
i homeward after dramatically
proving that atomic subs can man
euver under Arctic ice within
missile range of the Siviet Union
any time of the year.
The Navy said the Skate had
completed a 12-day voyage under
the Polar ice cap — and in the
process surfaced through relative
ly thin ice several'times.
The Navy mentioned only the
scientific aspects of the trip, but
the military significance was
obvious.
The 267-foot submarine surfaced
10 times during its 3,900-mile
Polar journey — either in open
rifts in the ice or through thin
spots in the ice pack. Once on
March 17, the Skate surfaced ex
actly at the North Pole.
