OLD TIMER THRILLED
, Aloert Bernhard of Teller is
i
back in Seattle after a thrilling
trip to California as far south as
San Pedro, where he saw his soii,
lorn Bernhard, for the first time
since he left Alaska 31 years ago.
It was Mr. Bernhard’s first visit
back to that section since 1896 and
the only things he recognized
were the mountains between
“Pedro ” and Redondo and the
familiar salt breezes. All old land
marks have been removed by the
rapid growth of population and
not a friend of that era could he
find.
However, he is glad he made
^he trip for the beautiful homes,
gorgeous flowers, and modern
“gadgets” were all greatly en
joyed by a pioneer making his
first journey to the Outside in 51
years. When the ducks and geese
start north he plans to return.
“Alaska is changing like every
thing else is changing,” says Mr.
Bernhard, “and we oldtimers real
ize it is coming too fast for us. I
may ffave stayed too long, but
after all, gold is where you find it.
I found paystreaks growing on
f^ es in California, but I’m going
back to Alaska just the same.”
• While in Seattle, Mr. Bernhard
i^Avith his daughter at 331 4th

days.
The Senate cut $500,000 from
House figures for the Department
of Public Welfare, setting the to
tal at $2,871,000. This is nearly
$700,000 above the 1949 appro
priation.

University Gets $2,241,655
The Senate boosted funds for
the University of Alaska, which
was the hardest hit by House
pruning. The school was boosted
$97,000 in cooperative categories
in which federal matching funds
are available. The Senate also
added $150,000 for new construc
tion to the $650,000 construction
total.
This brought the University to
tal to $2,241,655, compared with
the House figure of $1,997,555.
The appropriation in 1949 was
$2,155,730. The university regents
had asked $3,090,267.
Nome Harbor Memorial
The House in the last hour ap
proved a memorial asking that the
Territory relieve Nome of an an
nual payment to the federal gov
ernment of $ 2, 5 0 0 for harbor
maintenance.
The financial reorganization bill
went through the Senate late yes
terday by an 11-5 vote; then was
returned to the House for action
on amendments. The bill, in effect,
would set up a territorial general
financial manager, accountable to
the Board of Administration.
Passage of the bill eliminates
the present office of auditor and
the treasurer’s office. This elimi
nation is to be effective at the
end of Treasurer Henry Roden’s
present term. In its place will be
provided an independent auditing
office.
Critics of the bill objected to
the Legislature taking action
which would eliminate the offi
ces of treasurer and auditor, both
of which are elective.
The bill boosting the canned
salmon tax, previously passed by
the Senate, was approved 16-8 by
the House. The additional revenue
was estimated at $700,000 yearly,
on the basis of the 1950 pack.

ward C. Burt, Jr* of HttWag,
Minn., thought he found * Com
munist on aWaikiki street in the
early morning hows. The man, in
civilian clothes, w 4 s asking a
group of sailors if they were hap
py, and advising them to “join my
group.”
Burt recalled the Navy program:
“Be alert for anyone running
down the Navy or trying to get
servicemen into a ’ subversive
group.” I
He slapped the man, dumped
him into a taxi and pulled him
off to a police station.
The man identified himself as
Maj. Gen. David M. Schlatter,
commanding general of the UB.
Air Force Research and Develop
ment Section. He was enroute to
Washington from Korea.
General Schlatter declined to
press charges. Burt was released
with a Navy “commendation for
his motive but a reprimand for
his course of action.”

It was the second airborne land

ALL IN A DAY'S WORK
KUALA LUMPUR, {/?)—A rub
ber tapper/ on his early morning
round of trees here, was chased up
a tree by a tiger that kept him
there for four hours.
The treed tapper called for
friends who came and beat on
drums and cans to frighten the
beast away. But the tiger reclined
at the foot of the tree and kept his
eyes fastened on his quarry. Po
j lice finally arrived and shot the
animal. It weighed 200 pounds.
