‘Grand Old Man' Gets Honorary Degree
Andrew Nerland, "Grand old man of Alaskan Education/' and wife.
In addition to the conferring of
degrees and diplomas at the 1952
commencement of the University
of Alaska next Monday, May 19,
there will be one event of special
interest to Alaskans everywhere.
Andrew Nerland, president of
the Board of Regents -and “grand
old man of Alaskan education,”
will receive an honorary degree,
voted to him unanimously by the
Board and to be conferred by Dr.
Terris Moore, president of the
university.
Nerland has been actively as
sociated with the University for
over 30 years, from the d-ays in
1915 when a federal land grant
and appropriation of $50,000 an
nually, established what was then
known as the Alaska Agricultural
College and School of Mines.
When the then Delegate to Con
gress, the late Judge James W.
Wickersham, returned from
Washington with the appropria
tion under his arm, Nerland, who
was mayor of Fairbanks, was one
of the group who selected the site
at College for the establishment
of the new institution of higher
learning.
Truman Accuses Farm
Program Opponents of
Spreading Bunk & Hokum
WASHINGTON, (JP)—President
Truman Thursday accused oppo
nents of his farm and other pro
grams of spreading “bunk and
hokum" in an effort to discredit
Roosevelt and Truman adminis
tration measures us socialism.
He predicted the Democrats will
i
win the forthcoming presidential
election on a platform of what he
described as “Trumanism.”
And he promised to make a
whistle-stop tour along the lines
“of his 31,700-mile 1948 campaign
to help the Democratic presiden
tial candidate.
The President said the Roose
velt and Truman administrations
have proven that a planned econ
omy works “in agriculture and
in every other aspect of our na
tional life.”
It takes from 3,500 to 5,000 bees
to weigh a pound.

15th American Jet Ace—
SEOUL. Korea, <^P)—An Ameri
can Sabre Jet pilot Thursday
turned a Red Mig-15 into “a ball
of flame” and shot down another
in a screaming 50-mile chase at
tree-top level to become Ameri
ca’s 15th jet ace.
One other Red plane was de
stroyed in the fight over north
west Korea in which Lt. James
H. Kasler of Indianapolis shot
down his fourth and fifth Com
munist planes, the Fifth Air Force
said.
On the 155-mile ground front
Thursday, action was limited to
patrol skirmishes and artillery
firing.
Taft 364, Ike 304,
In Delegate Score
(By the Associated Press)
The Taft-Eisenhower duel for
N
Republican presidential - nomina
ting votes tilted toward the Ohio
senator yesterday, with delegate
seating contests looming as a pos
sibly decisive factor.
Sen. Taft apparently picked up
15 more delegate votes in Tues
day’s West Virginia primary. The
other one apparently went to Gen.
Eisenhower.
Thus the Associated Press tally
of delegate strength now shows:
Taft 364, Eisenhower 304. The
tabulation is based on known and
avowed alignment of delegates.
Nomination requires 604 votes
and, in a close fight at the GOP
convention in Chicago, a few
votes — say 75 — could mean
the difference between nomina
tion and also-ran.
All or part of delegations with
75 votes are involved in disputes
over rights to be seated at the
July 7 convention.
Delegates favoring both Taft
and Eisenhower have been chosen
in Georgia, Louisiana and Missis
sippi. Another scrgp over Texas’
38 votes comes to a head at a
state convention May 27.
It has been 40 years since dele
gate contests figured prominently
in a national convention. Rules
call for this procedure: The na
tional committee receives the dis
pute. Its decision can be appealed
to the convention credentials com
mittee whose report could be
challenged by the convention it
self.
