Alaskans Capable
In Basic Training
At Ft. Richardson
The tactical use of snow plays
an important part in the basic
training of Alaskans in the Army.
All residents of the territory who
enter the Army, take basic train
ing at Fort Richardson’s Training
Detachment, the only basic unit
in Alaska.
In addition to the proper use
of light weapons and other sub
jects typical to basic in the
states, trainees dressed in over
whites learn to take advantage of
the natural concealment snow of
fers. The natives’ knowledge of
snow is put to good use in com
bination with their Army train
ing.
Since its start in October, 1950,
1,368 men, all from Alaska, have
completed training with the de
tachment. Of these, 200 have been
airmen, the remainder, soldiers.
Unless they request service else
where, all these Alaskans will
complete their tour of duty aid
ing the defense of the territory.
This month saw the graduation
of the first 16 week training cycle,
designed to- include all aspects of
infantry training. Formerly, the
trainees spent eight weeks with
the detachment and eight weeks
with a line company.
According to Capt. Bruce D.
Mather, commanding officer, “Al
askans pick up military termin
ology quickly, and prove to be
good soldiers. Our delinquency
rate is practically zero. Last year
saw only two courts martial out
of approximately 700 trainees.’’
From Nome and other towns
in the 2nd Division, Henry Carl
of Kiana and Clarence Willoya,
Perry Kagoona and Allen John
son, all of Nome, are currently
taking basic at Fort Richardson.
Louis Kost and John Bell of
Nome and Winfred Matuklook
and Franklin Kaningok of Gam
bell have completed training and
are now serving with infantry
companies at Fort Richardson.
FIRST MOVE TOWARD
CONSTITUTION FOR
STATE OF ALASKA
FAIRBANKS, —A first move
toward formation of a constitu
tion for the prospective state of
Alaska was made here last week.
Sixteen persons under direction
of Prof. Donald Moberg formed
the first chapter of the Alaska
League for a state constitution.
Moberg heads the University of
Alaska political science depart
ment.
Alaska never has drawn a state
constitution although Hawaii
drafted one more than a year ago
in anticipation of statehood.
Dr. Ernest N. Patty, the uni
versity’s president, has assigned
Moberg also to the organization
of an Alaska city planning con
sultation department, similar to
one at the University of Washing
ton. He will visit all of Alaska’s
major cities this summer to study
their needs, politically and econ
omically, with an eye toward
statehood.

| Nation “Going Mad With
Health Fund Drives,”
Solicitations Group Told
CLEVELAND, 0?) — The Ameri
can public is about to rebel
against the large number of health
fund drives, the National Confer
ence on Solicitations was told
Friday.
Charles C. Ehafer Jr., head of
the mayor’s advisory committee
on solicitations in Kansas City,
Mo., said the nation is “literally
going mad with health fund
drives” and urged government
control of such campaigns.
“Government control is the
only answer,” he said. “Our peo
ple are kind-hearted suckers and
they have to be protected from
themselves lest they give away
their last dollar. I actually believe
health drives will eventually be
limited by the parts of the human
body.”
