Ri<* Reception W ill
Await Scouts At
National Jamboree
When Alaska’s troop of 33 boys
and 3 leaders moves in on the
other 40,000 Scouts from all over
America at the National Jamboree
at Valley Forge, Penn., next sum
mer, a big reception will await
them. Except for military person
l nel’s boys from Japan and the Ha
waiian Island delegation, they
will have come the furthest from
home to attend, and it will be
come their opportunity to help
dispel some of the state-side mis
conceptions concerning ordinary
life in the Territory. Since the
Alaska lads are quite capable of
taking care of themselves in an
exchange of tall tales, some of
their stories may need to be toned
down toward reality, in order to
avoid stretching the truth too far,
according to Scout executive Mau
rice Powers, who will accompany
the group and be in charge of ar
rangements for their trip.
Immediately after their arrival
June 29th, one of the Alaska
Troop’s first duties will be the
setting up of their 24 sleeping
tents and dining flies. In order to
make sure that everyone knows
where the Alaska contingent are
. stationed, Scouts will stencil
bright-colored totems and other
Alaska figures on their tents, and
they will fly the flag of the Ter
ritory over their camp. It is plan
ned that a decorative archway
will mark the entrance to the
j Alaska troop’s site, poss i b 1 y
i adorrned with an igloo replica
from the Fairbanks group and an
authentic totem pole from the
Sout heast towns. Edward L.
Keithahn, curator of the Territo
rial Museum at Juneau, offered
to lend Alaska’s Scout represen
tatives a “genuine" totem pole
from his private collection, and it
is planned that it will be care

I fully packed and carried along
with the group as they make their
five thousand mile trek to Wash
ington’s winter headquarters.
Scouts are planning now to
taka with them literally thousands
of “swap" goods. It is the custom
at these National gatherings for
boys to exchange souvenirs from
, their home locality for those of
boys from other places, so that
I when they return home the Alas
ka boys may have anything in
their duffle from Florida baby al
ligators to horned toads from
Texas. In return the Alaska boys
! wil ltake with them such valuable
' souvenirs as miniature totem
poles, walrus and elk teeth, bear
claws, Yukon River and Arctic
Ocean water samples, small pieces
of ivory and native carving, Alas
ka camp patches, rock and min
eral samples, and dozens of other
desirable trading items.
32 of the 33 places in the Jam
boree troop have already been re
served by outstanding representa
tives of Alaska’s best troops, with
a major problem facing Alaska’s
Jamboree Committee of deciding
whether or not to ask the Nation
al Council to allow the full quota

WANTS "WORKING AGREE
MENT FOR CONGRESS
i WASHINGTON, i/P — Senate
j Democratic leader Lucas of Illi

President and Congress establish
a “working agreement” to keep
law makers abreast of foreign
policy decisions.
Lucas told a reporter he will
back any constructive move to re
vive two-party cooperation on in
ternational questions and to re
duce the “friction and misunder
standing” which he said seem to
have grown up between Republi
cans and Democrats in this field.
“I think it is vital that the ex
ecutive and the legislative branch
es of the Government establish a
close working agreement so that
no Democrat or Republican can
say that he is in the dark on basic
foreign policy,” the Illinois Sen
ator said.
