“Freedom.” The speaker stressed
the point that our freedom can (
be maintained only by self-ais- i
cipline, right choice, loyalty, do-'
termination and the willingness |
to work. To achieve freedom, he
recommended that the graduates
read, especially history and good
literature, think and work.
After the presentation of the
diplomas by Frank Love, repre-;
senting the School Board, the
names of the students who had
been neither absent nor tardy for
the year were announced. They
are George Bourdon, Jack and
Marilyn Dowd, June Dunbar,
Juanita Fagerstrom, Olga Hay,
Corinne and Loretta Snyder and
Ellen Waldheim.
No awards were made this year
as the University of Alaska is not
offering scholarships this year,
due to being overcrowded.
Loretta Snyder, as valedictor
ian, is qualified for the special
recognition at the Pullman Wash
ington State College, for one sem
ester free room and board but
she has not decided to apply.
It is interesting to note that
all students of the 1948 class come
from pioneer Alaska families in
the community, and that most of
them plan to carry on definite
trades or continue their schooling.

Bill On Extending
Steamship Service
Up For Discussion
I * _
(Continued from Page One)
I p roposal would give power to ihe
Interior Department to disapprove
contracts between the operators
and the Commission.
Skinner objected t * Bartlett’s
resolution also on the grounds
j it v/ould give the Interstate C »rn
merce Commission authority over
the rates charged.
“After many mouths of coti
i sideration, and a mont.i of con
! tinuous conferences with all con
Icerned, we thought than and we
j think now that the Tallefson res
olution is as practical a solution
of the problem involved as is
presently available,” Skinner said.
“This conclusion is fortified by
the fact that this res ilution covers
a temporary period which we be
lieve should only be until Dec.
31, 1949, within which time we
may h^>pe for more settleci con
ditions which will make possible
the resumption of operations up
on a completely private free en
j terprise basis.”
i Marvin Coles, representing the
' Freight Express Corp. of Seattle,
which operates a barge service
' from Seattle to Alaska, urged
that the subsidized steamship com
panies’ service be ended. He said
: it would be better for Alaska to
j take the action at once, even
i though it would mean an increase
: in freight rates to the Territory.
He said that if the present plan
, is ended in six weeks, the com
| panies can charter or buy the
government ships that they now
use and resume private operation.
Skinner testified that three
weeks ago the. barge company’s
equipment was offered for sale
and that it was making only one
sailing this month. “There is
something funny about this situ
! ation,’ Skinner said. “The barge
company can’t run the steamship
j companies out of business.”
Coles testified the barge comp
any is ready to take over part
of the business if the present
service is ended. He said it would
be a year before his company
can bring about large expansion.
Coles said that if it is decided
to continue the present plan he
hoped the law would include a
provision requiring the Maritime
Commission to charter barges to
his company on the same terms
as ships are chartered to the ship
operators.
“Unless we get legislative equal
ity, if you extend the present
service,” he testified, “we might
as well forget all about our bus
iness.”
He said his company had prov
en barge service to Alaska feas
ible and at a rate reduction of 35
per cent compared with steamship
rates.

Dewey-Stassen End
Race In Oregon
PORTLAND,—(/P)—Gov. Thom
as E. Dewey and Harold E. Stas
sen came to an end of the Oregon
political trail today in their race
for Oregon’s Republican presiden
tial favor.
It was a photo finish to a fur
ious and sometimes acrimonious
three weeks of campaigning.
Neither the New Yorker nor the
Minnesotan was bold enough to
claim victory in advance of todays’
voting.
Overcast but generally favor
able weather was in prospect
throughout the state.
As a consequence, a record turn
out was indicated. Republican
