A Job Well Done
MIKE WALSH has stepped down from an important
assignment as regent of the University of
Alaska, after having served in that capacity for the
past fifteen years.
During that time, the integrity of the type of men
and women on the Board of Regents, and their faith
in the future of Alaska, has built a University from a
small college, a substantial permanent institution
from a few wooden buildings.
The cornerstone was laid on July 4th, 1915, as the
Territorial School of Mines and Alaska Agricultural
College, and opened for instruction in 1922. During
its first 13 years, 98 degrees were awarded. In 1935,
the college became a University, and its Board of
Trustees became the Board of Regents.
Eielson Memorial Building contains the world
famous museum and several departments of the
college. The Brooks Memorial Mines Building pro
vides space for the School of Mines; the Library con
tains 42,241 volumes and microfilm newspapers.
Ultra-modern dormitories house its ever-increas
ing enrollment, and its teachers are highly rated.
All of this, Mike Walsh has been a part of, and
has contributed his efforts toward in the past 15 years.
The choice of Boyd Harwood to take his place
brings the assurance that the same interest and zeal
to further the advancement of the university will con
tinue. Well-educated Alaskans from the University
of Alaska are'becoming the leaders for their own State.
Compromise Foreign Aid
Measures Goes to Senate
WASHINGTON, UP The House
today passed a compromise $3,
556,200,000 foreign aid bill. This
sent it to the Senate which, with
comparable speedy action, could
send the measure on to President
Eisenhower today.
Rep. Alvin M. Bentley (R
Mich) said it seemed remarkable
that the compromise has a larger
total than either the Senate or the
House versions. This came about
•when Senate-House conferees
agreed, as to several different
items in the bill, to take the higher
of the individual figures set by one
chamber or the other.
The bill still is some 300 million
dollars under President Eisen
hower’s recommendation for this
year.
SEEING IS BELIEVING . . .
LA ROCHETi'E, France, UP —
Jumbo the Elephant covered
12V6 miles on the first day of his
trip over the Alps in an attempt
to prove Hannibal took the high
roa dinvading Italy in 219 B. C.
A brass band, a bale of hay and
the mayor greeted Jumbo last
night on completion of the first
leg of his climb toward the 7,300
foot-high Clapier Pass.
British historian John Hoyte
says this is the route taken by
Hannibal’s Carpathian legions
riding African elephants. The
more common theory is that Han
nibal took lower passes near the
Mediterranea coast.

State GOP Meet
Blasts Demos, on
Legislative Rule
KETCHIKAN, UP)—Monday—The
first Republican State Conven
tion found sufficient ammunition
in the activities of the Democratic
controlled Legislature to fire half
of its resolutions at the opposi
tion party.
Among the first resolutions to
pass the convention was one
calling for the immediate estab
lishment of the full state judicial
system, which the GOP said the
Democratic adiministration had
failed to do. In two separate reso
lutions,' the convention delegates
accused Democrats of establish
ing a political rule in the state
commissions of fish and game
and in the state’s Commissions
of Fish and Wildlife, and Edu
cation,
The GOP said it would work
out for a period of the 1960 elec
tions.
In a blast at the Democratic
controlled first State Legislature,
the GOP denounced pay scales
of $40 .in daily expenses and
$3,000 annual salaries for state
lawmakers. They “need not be
the highest paid legislature un
der the American flag,” the Re
publican convention said.
“Petty and selfish” were words
used to describe the actions of
the State Senate in refusing to
seat William Boardman of Ketchi
kan in an election dispute. W. O.
Smith of Ketchikan instead of
Boardman, who served as conven
tion for the conclave.

92 Per Cent of Alaska
Food Supply Is Imported
WASHINGTON, (VPi — Excluding .
fish, 92 per cent of Alaska’s food
comes from outside the new state.
A report by the Agriculture De
partment says Alaska’s crop pro
ducing areas amount to only one
tenth per capita for the civilian
papulation.
The statistics, submitted to Sen
ator Ernest Gruening, were com
piled to show stockpiles of food
available should ocean shipping
be interrupted.
Alaska’s fish supply would be an
important factor in such an emer
gency. The report said food
shipped into the state totals about
£7,009 tons a year, while outgoing
fish shipments add up to about
210,000 tons a year.
The survey did not take into
account the extent to which game
animals contribute to the state’3
food supply.
