WASHINGTON (/PI — Politi
cians, no less than the rest of us,
are required to make a financial
reckoning from time to time.
One file now with the Senate
and House clerks are reports of
receipts and expenditures of Con
gressional candidates in the past
election campaign.
Here is the tally for Alaskans
on record with the clerks:
Democratic Sen. E. L. Bartlett,
who won re-election, reported
contributions totaling $6,685 and
expenditures of $13,524. His Re
publican opponent Lee L. Mc
Kinley, reported $9,299 in contri
butions and $7,468 in expendi
tures.
In the House race, Democratic
Rep. Ralph Rivers reported con
tributions of $6,165 and $4,027 in
expenses during his successful bid
for re-election.
R. L. Rettig, the Republican
candidate, had not filed his final
report by Dec. 16, but his preli
minary report showed contribu
tions of $965 and expenditures of
$4,280.
These reports include only per
sonal receipts and expenditures
of the candidates and do not cover
finances of committees or others
working in their behalf.
In Alaska, the big snowstorm
here recently was no doubt classed
as minor news but in Washington
it tied up everything and gave
government workers as well as
school children a day off when
all Federal Offices closed down.
It truly was necessary to mush
GOOD REASON
The late George Goshaw,
staunch Republican, gives one rea
son why Nixon didn’t win that
hasn’t been used before: “When
Dell and I were about to open the
door to enter the ballot room,
which was in the Episcopal Church
here in Calistoga, and vote for
president for the first time—a
black cat rubbed my cane as it
ran past and I said Dell, there goes
our election.” The cat had white
legs which meant it wasn’t all bad
as the State of California went
Republican.
through Washington for a couple
of days. Rep. Rivers pretty well
summed up the attitude of snow
country people, however, when
he said:
“The storm here poses two
problems for me. One, how to
keep smiling when friends ask
‘make you feel like home?’ And
how to keep from grinning when
the government here pushes the
panic button at the first sign of
snow.
“The rest of my storm problems
are solved by merely turning up
my coat collar.”
Speaking of cold weather,
here’s a note of contrast. Sen. and
Mrs. Bartlett and their daughter,
Sue, tentatively plan to spend
Christmas in sunny Perto Rico.
Bartlett will combine vacation
and work by holding discussions
on shipping problems with of
ficials in Puerto Rico.
Bartlett is a member of the
Commerce Committee which has
ordered a study of off-shore ship
ping problems of Alaska, Hawaii
and Puerto Rico.
COOKIES MAILED OUT
TO COLLEGE STUDENTS

are members of the Community

boxes filled with home made
cookies some time between
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Th'ese went to students in many
parts of the world and as far as
Oslo where Ronald Senungetuk is
studying this year. The cookies

Women’s Society under the direc
tion of Mrs. Charles Reader, Stu
dent Activities Chairman.
Henrietta Lund to Visit Here

Village, N. Y., who spent some time
here last year with the people of
Our Savior’s Lutheran Church
and who is a United Nations ob
server for the National Lutheran
Council will be visiting here soon.

eral Assembly and acting under
