Fairbanks High Plans to Integrate^'
Native Students From Interior Alaska
-.-<
U.S. Note to Red China
‘Strongly Protests’
Shooting Down of Plane
WASHINGTON .M—The United
States has sent a formal note to
Red China which “strongly pro
tests” the shooting down of an
American Navy plane off the
China coast Aug. 23.
The American note, sent thru
the British embassy in Peiping,
served notice that Red China will
be asked to “pay all damages,”
including compensation for the
loss of the 16 crewmen as well as
the aircraft.
The shooting down' of the plane
by Red fighters was denounced as
“without warning” and “unjusti
fied.”
' FAIRBANKS—Within two years
native youngsters from the inter
ior of Alaska should be integrated,
into the Fairbanks high school.
This week the Board of Educa
tion okayed a proposal to estab
lish four regional two-year high
schools. From these, the top fifth
of each class will attend the Aus
tin E. Lathrop High School. Those
who may do better with vocation
al training will be able to enroll
at Mt. Edgecumbe in Sitka.
The plan was sponsored by the
Bureau of Indian Affairs and the
Alaska Native Service.
At present, rural interior high
schools are run largely by church
es. Native children of high school
age living nfear large cities are
able to attend schools there.
The four regional schools for
freshman and sophomore study
will be at Kotzebue, Barrow, Una
lakleet and Hooper Bay, William
Olsen, director of ANS, said.
The regional high schools are
favored because they permit a
continuance of natural home life
for the children, Mrs. Hildegarde
Thompson, chief of the bureau’s
education branch, said. She, Olsen
and ANS Education Director Max
Penrod met with the Fairbanks
board this week.
The first group of students is
expected to enter the Fairbanks
high school in 1958. About 50 to
75 are expected.
All will be closely supervised
and will live in dormitories.
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN MAINE
PORTLAND, Maine, WV-Dem,
ocrats hailed a rousing Maine
election victory Monday which
Adlai Stevenson said indicates
that “the national trend to the
Democrats is still gaining mo
mentum.”
Gov. Edmund S. Muskie won a
second term with the biggest vote
ever given a Maine governor of
either party.
And, for the first time since the
■New Deal year of 1934, a Demo
crat was elected to Congress. He
is Frank M. Coffin, 37-year-old
Lewiston lawyer and chairman of
his party’s state committee.
Presidential nominee Steven
son’s campaign manager, James
A. Finnegan, called the Demo
cratic victory "all the'more re
markable in view of the way the
Republicans made this a test of
President Eisenhower’s “popular
ity and influence with the voters.”
The outcome of another Con
gressional race was so close it
may wind up before the House
Elections Committee.
Rep. Robert Hale (R) seemed to
have woh an eighth term in the
First District by 28 votes over
Democrat James C. Oliver, who,
as a Republican, preceded Hale in
Congress from 1937 to 1943.
The Third District’s Rep. Clif
ford G. Mclntire had no trouble
gaining a third full term—but his
percentage was down.
The 42-year-old Muskie, son of
a Polish immigrant tailor, became
the first Democrat re-elected in a
presidential year—at least since
the Civil War, and in those days
Maine governors had one instead
of two-year terms.
In 621 of the state’s 630 pre
cincts, an unofficial tabulation
rolled up 179,697 votes for Muskie
and 123,784 for Willis A. (Bill)
Trefton Jr., 37,' the Republican
speaker of the Maine House.
The total of 303,481 was almost
6,000 below the record, but Mus
kie’s vote was well ahead of the
best previously given any govern
or-172413 for Republican Lewis
O. Barrows in 1936.
Muskie got 59 percent of the
vote in yesterday’s balloting, the
first in the country this year. Two
years ago he won his first term
with 54V4 percent of almost 249,
000, beating Burton M. Cross, then
the GOP incumbent.
The election figures showed
that Muskie got' even more Re
publican support this time than in
1954. At that time—and there are
no subsequent official figures
available—there were only 99,000
enrolled Democrats in Maine, in
dependents outnumbered them by
19,000, and there were 262,000
enrolled Republicans.
