f
Revision Sought
Of Teachers
Retirement System
In a recent bulletin to all its
members, the Executive Commit
tee of the Alaska Education Assn,
announced that the number one
item on its legislative program is
a complete revision of the teach
ers’ retirement system on an ac
tuarially sound basis. The chief
actuary of the U.S. Department of
Health, Education and Welfare is
now making a study of the sys
tem. Revision of the system has
the support of the Superinten
dents’ Advisory Council which
met recently in Juneau.
The association will ask the leg
islature to increase the annual
salary increments for all profes
sional personnel and give fur
ther financial recognition for ad
vanced training. A study of finan
cial costs to the territory based on
various combinations of proposals
is now being made. Both the
Superintendent’s Advisory Com
mission and the Association of
Alaska School Boards have re
corded themselves in favor of in
creases in pay for advanced train
ing.
The Alaska Education Associa
tion endorses the principle of fis
cal independence as advanced by
the Superintendent’s Advisory
Commission and the Association
of Alaska School Boards.
The association urges the legis
lature to appropriate sufficient
funds for operation of schools and
for the office of commissioner in
order to give the best possible
educational service to all areas in
the territory.
Sound child welfare legislation
for improvement of mental and
physical health and control and
rehabilitation of juvenile delin
quents is urged.
The Alaska Education Associa
tion is an association of teachers
and administrators throughout the
territory. If the 1,202 professional
personnel in the territory, nearly
1,000 are members this year and
membership rolls are not yet com
pleted.
Mrs. Pearl Shockley, Anchor
age, is president of the association.

Peru After Paying Three
Million Dollars In Fines
CALLAO, Peru., I/T) — The five
ships of the Olympic Whaling
Fleet which Peru seized last
month departed for an unan
nounced destination, presumably
the Antarctic.
Peru released the vessels — a
factory ship and four catchers —
after representatives of owner
Aristotle S. Onassis paid the equi
valent of three million dollars in
fines Monday.
The ships were seized on a
charge of operating within 200
miles of the Peruvian coast, an
area over which Peru claims
jurisdiction. They were assumed
to be heading for a rendezvous
with 12 catchers of the Onassis
fleet which left Panama Monday.

One Lone Wild Coyote
Stands Off All Dogs Of
Corpus Christ, Texas
CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex., UP)—
The bravest dogs in all of South
Corpus Christi licked their
wounds today, their neighbor
hood rid of a wild coyote with no
thanks to them, but to a police
man’s bullet.
The dogs ganged up on a coyote
that came into the densely popu
lated part of town Sunday mor
ning. They cornered him finally
in a neighborhood business dis
trict.
The gray, wild animal from the
brushland whipped all the city
dogs, individually and collective
ly
When police arrived to kill it,
the coyote stood there defiantly,
while the large band of dogs bark
ed their challenges from a safe
distance.
