Oregon Slate
Scholarships
Available
Sixteen students from Alaska
attended institutions of higher
learning in Oregon during the
1949-50 school year on Alaskan
Hawaiian scholarships established
by that state a year ago, it was an
nounced this week by State Sena
tor Richard Neuberger, who spon
sored the legislation setting up
the special arrangement for boys
and girls from the two territories.
Six from Ketchikan, four from
Anchorage, two from Juneau, two]
from Fairbanks, one from Ann
ette and one from Fort Richard
son were awarded scholarships.
Eight took advantage olscnoiar
ships at the University of Oregon
and eight at Oregon State College.
The amount of tuition waived for
qualifying Alaskan students at
these institutions amounts to
$220.50 a year. No Alaskan ap
plied for a scholarship at the Uni
versity of Oregon Medical School,
wheer the saving would amount
to $495 a year, although one stu
dent from Hawaii did take ad
vantage of the arrangement there.
In all, 56 from Hawaii were grant
ed scholarships.
According to Charles D. Byrne, ]
secretary of the State Board of
Higher Education, any Alaska
student who is eligible to enter
the institution is eligible for a
scholarship if his parents’ annual
income is not more than $9,000 a
year.
Senator Neuberger ,an Oregon
ian who has frequently visited
Alaska, introduced the special
scholarship legislation at the sug
gestion of Mrs. Oscar Sandvik of
Petersburg.

Congress Library
Saves—-Pencils
WASHINGTON, {JP) — The Li
brary of Congress is practicing
economy—with complications.
Its information bulletin details
a plan for routing pencil stubs
from the various library division
to the reading rooms.
“The routine is simple,” the bul
letin says'tand then it explains:
Members of the staff should
should turn in stubs to the divi
sional secretaries.
The divisional secretaries will
consign them to the supply officer.
The supply officer “wil in turn
issue them on demand to the stack
and reader service, serials divi
sion, etc.”
The library happily reports:
j“168 stubs were collected in this
manner in the recent spring
house-cleaning.”
Will Not Transport
Amy Dependents
ANCHORAGE, (^ — Alaska
command officers said yesterday
the new armed forces policy of
suspending transportation for de
pendents of military personnel
would help solve the troop hous
ing problems in the Territory.
The armed forces announced in
Washington that no dependents of
military personnel would be taken
to Pacific destinations after July
14, but those scheduled to leave
•before that date would go as
planned.
Military sources here explained
that dependents would not be ac
tually barred after July 14, but if
they come to Alaska bases it will
have to be at their own expense
on commercial carriers. Officers
said the new policy will curb a
serious housing shortage for de
pendents and make additional
winter quarters available for
troops.
“Rotation” Will
Be Halted
ANCHORAGE, (JP) —Rotation
of the men of the Alaska Air
Command is being “frozen.”
The command’s information of
fice confirmed the report yester
day and said the “temporary” or
der was effective Aug. 1.
The action to stop the travel of
airmen to and from the States,
coupled with suspension of trans
portation for dependents, is ex
pected to allow more shipping
space to be diverted to Far East
military needs.
The “freeze” does not apply to
army personnel in Alaska.
The information office said
that, contrary to earlier reports,
the elimination of travel for de
pendents was not expected to
make much difference in the mil
I
itary housing problem.
Draft Machinery
For 20,000 Soldiers
Set In Motion «
(Continued from Pace One)
listment volume increases consid
erably.
The army now has four train
ing divisions strategically located
to tap the country’s principal pop
j ulation centers. They are the 4th
Infantry division at Fort Ord,
Calif., the 9th Infantry at Fort
Dix, N. J., the 10th Infantry at
Fort Riley, Kans., and the 3rd
Armored Division at Fort Knox,
Ky.
Army officials said that an im
mediate decision about setting up
induction centers could be delay
ed as Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
director of selective service, said
it would take about 60 days for
his reactivated organization to
provide recruits the army could
' start turning into soldiers.
The call for 20,000 men—the
army said it wanted them “at the
earliest possible date”—would in
dicate that few would be inducted
' €
in any one commuiity on the first
go-around. For example, a draft
official in the District of Colum
bia figured it would mean about
100 from the city of Washington.
Gen. Hershey said that if the
draft call goes as high as 300,000
men he believes the men can be
provided from among those regis
trants who are 22 years of age or
older.
To meet the overseas shipping
problem, the military establish
ment has tackled the first phase
by reshuffling assignments of
about 100 vessels in the military
set transport service.
This action has already pro
duced the transports needed to
carry the First Marine Division
from California to Korea.
The attack transport Henrico
was diverted from the annual
summer voyage to Alaska.
