LITTLE DIOMEDE
NATIVE RESERVATION
Under powers vested in him
by Congress, Secretary of the
Interior Krug has proclaimed lit
tle Diomede Island as a native
reservation “for the use and oc
cupancy of the native inhabitants
of the village of Diomede, Alaska,
and vicinity.”
#
The proclamation will become
effective only upon its approval
, by a majority of the natives re
; siding on the island which ag
gregates approximately 3000 acres.
GEOPHYSICAL INSTITUTE
Establishment of a permanent
geophysical institute at the Uni
versity of Alaska, as proposed in
Delegate Bartlett’s bill, has re
cently received sanction of the
House of representatives, and the
enabling legislation is now be
fore the Senate Committee on
Territories and Insular Affairs.
The bill authorizes the appro- (
priation of $975,000 for the con- j
struction and establishment of the
institute which would continue in
the postwar period geophysical re
search in the Arctic which ha>
been carried on since 1941 by
the War and Navy Departments,
the F e d e r a 1 Communications
Commission, the Coast and Geo
detic Survey, ‘he '" ‘ithe- Bureau
and other federal agencies in co
operation with the Carnegie In
stitute of Washington. Provi
sion is made in the bill that the
facilities of the institute shall be
available without charge to the
federal government and to non
profit private re-earch organiza
tions. Expenditures of funds
from the authorized appropria
tion would be limited to 20 per
cent for housing accommodations.
The University would undertake
to furnish heat, light, water, el
ectric power and custodial serv
ice on a continuing basis and al
so to staff the institute with a
director, a librarian and a sec
retary.
Contemplated as a part of the
extensive scientific research pro
gram which can be carried on
through the facilities of the in
stitute would be the War Depart
ment’s plan to use such facilities
in connection with Arctic map
ping and construction in Arctic
regions of civil and military works
and the Navy Dapartment’s pro
posal to utilize the institute to aid
in surveying the Navy’s petrol
eum reserve No. 4.

FLAG DAY

13 years older than the Tri-color
of the F-ench Republic and 23
years older than the present Union
Jack of Great Britain.
.''though there ha- been no
th nge :,i the basic stars-and
stripes c'e sign of the Flag of the
United States sinc« ( option.
11 appeals to have been the in
tention of Congress at fir-- to add
both stars and stripes f >r new
states. Thus in 1794, f Mowing
the admission of Vermont and
Kentucky, the Flag displayed 15
stars and 15 stripes. By 1818
the number of states had increased
to 20 with the prospect of others
soon to be admitted, though the
, Flag still contained 15 stripes and:
15 stars. Then Congress, real
i izing the unwieldy result of the
policy of adding a new stripe for
each new state settled upon the
present design of 13 stripes to rep
i resent the original 13 colonies
l and an additional star for each
new state, and decreed that each
state’s star be added July 4, fol
lowing the date of the state’s ad
mission. Thus under this act of
more than a century ago our flag
has grown to it’s present form.
Finally, the Flag of the United
States has never been hauled
| down in defeat save on isolated
! occasions, such as at Bataan. It
has been carried to ultimate vic
i tory in every war in which the
; Nation has engaged and has been
| rehoisted over every foot of ter
ritory that has ever been tempor- |
arily lost. It is an emblem of
j independence and freedom to the.
