Pete Sather Honored At
Farewell Party In Seattle
On Leaving For Norway
SEATTLE-—Honoring Pete Sa
ther, oldtime pioneer from Nome,
a “bunch of the boys whooped it
up” at Uncle Tom's Cabin in
' March when a farewell party was
staged by his daughter Kristie
and her husband, Ron Brousseau.
It was a great party, with Carl
M. Johnson as master of cere
monies. Pete Sather is on his way
to his old stamping grounds in
Norway for several months to
visit with his relatives, stopping
in Seattle en route.
Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a fine
eating house at East 115th and
15th Aves. NE in Seattle and is
operated by Tom Meeker, who
was with the U.S. Smelting &
Refining Co. in Nome from 1937
to 194-1, and later in Fairbanks
and Anchorage. According to the
guests, Meeker serves the best
fried chicken one could ask for,
and plenty of it. It’s a good place
for “hungry sourdoughs” to dine.
Sourdough Sather headed the
big table set aside for the party.
To his right and left, complet
ing the merry crowd, were Kristie
and Ron Brousseau, Mrs. “Col.
Pete" Sather, Rube Creamer,
Chris Totland, Fred Johnson,
Erick Ulen, John Erstad, Geo’rge
Bodis and “M. C.” Carl M. John
son. They joined in drinking a
toast to “Pete,” wishing him a
pleasant journey and a happy re
turn. to their midst.

REED’S
Cut In Budget
Eliminates Bering
Sea Survey
Drew Pearson in his column.
The Merry-Gcr-Round, revealed
recently that the planned survey
of the strategic Bering Sea, has
been eliminated by the adminis
tration in its economy program.
He states:
The survey is considered so im
portant that Rear Adm. Rpbert
Studds, Chief of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, came up to
Capitol Hill to protest. Testifying
behind closed doors of the House
Appropriations Committee, Ad
miral Studds complained that the
budget cutback would force him
to decommission his largest ship,
the Plymouth, now surveying the
Bering Sea.
“In view of this proposed 15
per cent cut in your funds and
the laying off of 253 employes and
the mothballing of your largest
and fastest ship, I wonder if you
could tell us with propriety what
the Soviet Union isvdoing in the
fieTd of surveys, particularly up
there in the Bering Sea area?”
asked Congressman John Rooney,
Brooklyn Democrat.
“I don’t know, sir,” replied
Studds.
“I don’t think anyone knows,
sir,” broke in his assistant, Capt.
I. E. Rittenburg.
“Are you quite concerned about
this cutback?” asked Georgia’s
congressman Prince Preston.
"Yes, sir, I am,” the Admiral
responded. “We feel these sur
veys are highly necessary. It is
not my thinking, either. It is the
thinking of the Navy Depart
ment.”
Pointing to a special chart, he
added: “I would like to show you
this chart to show just where we
are going to suspend these Bering
Sea operations, although the Navy
is greatly interested in it. We have
been doing it at the request of
the Navy. That is shoal area, and
you can see the strategic import
ance of it.”
“Have you been able to ascer
tain,” demanded Preston, "why
this drastic action was taken on
the part of the Bureau of the
Budget?”
“I think it is a general balanc
ing of the budget, is it not?”
shrugged Adm. Studds. “That is
my understanding of it.”
