Expense Accounts
Euv* High in Alaska
SEATTLE UP — “There arc
very few people who don’t take
a drink before dinner, particu
larly in Alaska,” Seattle Port
Commissioner C. H. Carlander
said yesterday in explaining a $12
a-.plate dinner in Ketchikan.
Carlander’s remarks were made
at a state auditor’s investigation
of the Port of Seattle. There has
been emphasis on expense account
items.
Items questioned by examiners
included $54.17 for a breakfast
for the Wenatchee, Wn,. Apple
Queen’s Court, $455.22 for a din
ner in the Davenport Hotel in
Spokane, $86 for cigarette light
ers ordered from Tokyo and a
$379.15 dinner for 31 shippers
in Ketchikan.
“Alaskan food prices are much
higher than here,” said Carland
er. “This is the usual dinner that
you go to in Alaska. I assume
there were some drinks on the
bill.”
All the items were explained
by port commissioners as trade
promotion expenses.

| to grade 1he first 90 days of the
new Democratic ’Administration,
but said he would do so in a cross
country speaking tour starting
next month.
With a smile, he said that Ken
nedy had said during the cam
paign that “he inteded to do a
great deal in the first 90 days I
think it’s not quite fair to hold
him to 90 days. He ought to oe
given 10 more days.”

Gravely fit with Cancer
HOLLYWOOD i.T> — Sources
close to Gary Cooper say the vet
eran film star is gravely ill with
cancer — and knows it.
The word followed an an
nouncement by a family spokes
man Wednesday that the lanky,
laconic actor is critically ill.
Cooper, who will be 60 on May
7, is confined to his Bel-Air home.
The onetime Montana cowboy
has starred in 70 pictures, win
ning Oscars as the World War I
hero in 1941’s “Sergeant York”
and as the duty-bound sheriff in
1952’s “High Noon.”
Speculation about his physical
condition had heightened since the
annual Academy Awards cere
monies Monday night. Fellow
star James Stewart accepted a
special honorary award for Cooper
and, addressing him directly into
the television camera, nearly
broke into tears as he spoke words
of tribute.
