$7,000,000,000 Program
For School Construction
Discussed at Conference
WASHINGTON, (#—A t. his
news conference today President
Eisenhower spent several minutes
discussing the seven-billion-dollar
school construction program he
outlined to Congress in a special
message yesterday. It calls for a
federal outlay of about SI, 100,
000,000 over the next three years.
The remainder of the money
would be raised by the states.
Eisenhower said he feels the
program offers the best way to
relieve a shortage of 340,000 class
rooms without undue federal par
ticipation.
He said it preserves state and
local responsibility, but still puts
the federal government in the pic
ture in a proper role.

JUNEAU, l/P>—Additional sharp j
cuts in the public welfare pro
gram in Alaska before the end of
the current biennium on March
31 were forecast by Henry Har
mon, the Department of Public
Welfare director, at a legislative
hearing Monday night.
He pointed especially to the aid
to the blind and the aid to dcpen
| dent children programs. The blind
I program, he said, will be operat
| ing under 50 percent cuts in aid in
March, even after the shifting of
all possible cases to the old age
assistance program.
The ADC program, he said, had
to be cut back by 10 percent with
1 in six months after adjournment
j of the 1953 legislature and will be
: operating on a 30 to 35 percent
; cut before the end of March.
“The needy people weren’t giv
en due consideration at the last
I legislature,” he declared. “There
has been hardship in every class
| of welfare recipients except the
I old age group. I make that state-!
, ment without reservations.”
He described public welfare
| programs in Alaska and the num
ber of case workers allowed as far
below the level of such a state as
Washington.
He cited criticism that has been
aimed at the department over
conditions which he said the de
partment could not tackle because
of a lack of funds.

Alaskan Pilot Flies to
Washington to Back
Airline in Decision
By FRANK W. VAILLE
WASHINGTON, UP)—An Alas
kan pilot prepared to return home
last night after a capital visit to
“make sure those advising the
President have all the facts in
hand” concerning operation of
Pacific Northern Airlines <PNA>.
The pilot, Daniels McLean, told
a newsman he came to Washing
ton as a representative of Pacific
Northern’s employes “to spread a
little good will” and to let it be
known what the carrier means to
its employes and the communities
in which it operates.
McLean described the carrier as
Alaska’s second largest year
around employer, outside the gov
ernment. In Anchorage alone, he
said, its payroll is well over three
quarters of a million dollars a
year. Several millions additional
are spent on fuel, oil and services.
McLean also emphasized Paci
fic Northern’s contribution to Al
aska’s defense potential. He noted
the carrier has a staff of pilots
with years of experience in rug
ged Alaska flying as well as air
craft “ready to be put to use by
the government on a minute’s
notice . .

Jottle Crossed Pacific
To Alaska Near Owner
YAKIMA, Wash., (jfc—'The mus
tard bottle apparently caat adrift
off the far Pacific island of Oki
nawa in 1940 seems to have fol-*
lowed its owner across the ocean
,to Alaska. . ,
Found by a boy last week on
tide flats at Juneau, it contained
this note:
“W. F. Caton, 101 Market St.,
Yakima, Wash.—Okinawa, 1949.”
Relatives of his still live at that
address here. They said Sgt. Ca
ton was on Okinawa in 1949,. but
has since been transferred to Sit
| ka, only about a hundred miles
airline from where the bottle was
found.
He could have tossed it into the
ocean at Sitka, they agreed, but
when he was on Okinawa he was
, 17 and “more in the bottle-throw
ing age.”
He is now married and three
children with him in Sitka.
