Would Cut Cost-of
Living. Differential
Alaska Employes
WASHINGTON, (JP)—Delegate,
Bartlett of Alaska said yesterday
he will try to eliminate a pro
vision in the Interior appropria
tion bill that would cut salaries
of some government employes in
Alaska and Hawaii by stopping
cost of living payments to terri
torial residents.
The bill would continue such
allowances for, residents of con
tinental United States who are
transferred to one of the terri
tories.
‘The result, if the committee1
action is approved,” Bartlett said,
“Will be to have two persons
working along side each other,
doing the same type of work and |
having the same expenses, but |
one receiving more money simply
because he came from the United
States.”
Federal employes in Alaska
currently receive a 25 per cent
cost-of-living differential.

Home Arts Club Has
Novel Program
An interesting program on por
traiture was presented at the
Home Arts Club meeting last
night in a very novel manner by
Mrs. Earl Clark, at the home of
Mrs. Ashby Craft.
Instead of the usual prepared
paper, Mrs. Clark had each mem
ber of the group study the light
ing, shadows, etc., for another
member of the group, with ap
propriate instruction on the; indi
vidual traits of each member, so
that every person present took a
picture and every one was photo
graphed.
Later in the evening each mem- j
ber of the club was presented
with a picture of herself to take
home.
Plans were discussed for the
Mother’s Day tea for Mrs. M. J.
Walsh on May 13.
Rev. Merle Smith and son
passed through Nome on a trip
from the North where they have
been visiting missions maintained
by the Seventh Day Adventist
Church. Their home is now in
Dillingham, from where Rev.
Smith flys his own plane to the
outpost missions north of Nome.

In Eight-Day Trek
ANCHORAGE, (JP) — Six-year
old Linda Gann says it was
“Mommy”'she missed most dur
ing an eight-day trek to civiliza
tion from a plane wreck deep in
the snowbound Alaska wilder
ness.
Linda, her father Bert Gann, a
flying school teacher, and 16
year-old Alex Hatley, reached
Anchorage safely yesterday, eight
days after Gann’s light plane was
forced down while on a flight
from McGrath to Anchorage.
A mail pilot brought them here
from the village of Tryonek.
All were in good physical con
dition, despite the fact they had
only light clothing and their food |
consisted of a can of orange juice,
a can of potato chips, a half sand
wich, two packs of chewing gum,
and a candy bar.
Gann said Linda took the ad
venture “beautifully” although
she said she missed “Mommy.”
Gann came north from Denton,
Tex., two years ago.
Gann was flying Linda to an
eye specialist here when he ran
into bad weather and was forced
to set the plane down on Cook
Inlet. The prcrpeilor was broken
when the plane nosed over in the
snow.
The radio was working and
Gann sent out messages but when
24 hours had elapsed with no sign
that -anyone had heard them, the
trio bundled up their meager
possessions and started walking.
Gann said they hiked along the

POLET SAYS . . .
That he finds the biggest handicap in the de

knowledge of the Nome citizens of the wealth that
