Gives Scholarships
For Alaska Schools
Income from the substantial
bequest recently left to the Uni
versity of Alaska by the late
Mrs. Jessie O’Bryan McIntosh,
Alaska pioneer businesswoman,
will go into a $6,000 scholarship
fund for valedictorians; and salu
tatorians of all Alaska high
schools starting with the fall,
1957-58 semester.
Dr. Ernest N. Patty, university
president, disclosed this. He said
that the individual scholarships
will amount to $400 annually, or
$200 each semester. The funds
will he deposited with the univer
sity comptroller.
Mrs. Laura E. Jones, registrar
and scholarship committee chair
man, said that the McIntosh schol
arships should encourage many
Alaska students to attend the uni
versity, especially since the Ter
ritorial Legislature already has
established free dormitory room
scholarships for the valedictorians
of each high school.
•Should a valedictorian of a high
school elect not to attend the uni
versity, the room scholarship auto
matically goes to the salutatorian.
Mrs. Jones said that her office
will contact eligible Territorial
students about the McIntosh
scholarships.

Refusal to Sign; Dems. Blast Inaction
By WILLIAM J. TOBIN
JUNEAU, (J) — A bill authoriz
ing $187,935.41 to pay salaries and
expenses of Alaska’s unofficial (
three-man Congressional delega- j
tion is becoming law without the i
signature of the acting Governor^
The decision not to sign the bill
drew heavy criticism from a Dem
ocratic member of the House of
Representatives.
Rep. Seaborn J. Buckalew Jr.,
Anchorage, said in a House speech
yesterday that Acting Governor
Waino Hendrickson was “follow
ing the usual course of persons
who do not represent the people
of Alaska.”
Buckalew charged Hendrickson
“has not had the courage to either
approve or veto” the bill.
A spokesman for the Governor
commented there was no signifi

cance to the action. He said the
acting Governor “simply exer
cises his privilege of not signing
the bill.”
As it now goes into the session
laws, the bill provides for $9,000
annual salaries and $16 daily ex
penses allowances for provisional
Sens. Ernest Gruening and Wil
liam Egan, and Rep. Ralph Rivers.
The payments cease when and if
they are seated in Congress, or
upon a decision by the Legislative
Audit Committee if statehood is
granted and a new election is or
dered by Congress.
