ALASKA MAY RECEIVE
► $415,000 ANNUALLY
FOR EDUCATION
Alaska stands to receive $415,
000 annually, on a matching basis,
from the Federal Government for
the development of vocational
education, if a bill introduced re
cently in Congress becomes law.
The bill, introduced by Repre
sentative Barden of North Caro
lina, embodies benefits for all the
States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto
Rico, and the District of Colum
bia and authorizes the expendi
ture of $78,000,000 annually to be
distributed according to farm;
population, rural population, non
farm population and total popula
tion, in the aid of vocational edu
cation in agriculture, home econo
^ mics, trades and industry, voca
tional guidance, vocational train
ing in public-service occupations,
vocational training for office oc- j
cupations, vocational education in
distributive occupations, area vo
cational schools and supervision
of industrial arts training.
Provision is made in the bill
that no state or territory shall re- i
ceive less than the total of $415,
000 annually, which is of benefit
to Alaska, since any funds appro
priated on a proportionate basis j
for the Territory in comparison
with the whole of the United
States would be of small value, j
The bill further provides that j
the beneficiary has to match 50%

the “piling-up” of otherwise nice

The oddly lowering pitch of a de
parting whistle results from the
“stretching-out” of the same

the same phenomena applied to
light waves may be used to de

approaching or leaving this solar

Almost every community in the

Where Are Italy’s Small |
Arms? Up Someone’s
Sleeve, AMG Fears
By GEORGE BRIA

ROME—Thousands of partisans
who fought the Germans and Fas
cists in Northern Italy with arms I
supplied by the Allies or captured
from the enemy have given up
only part of the weapons and au
thorities are frankly worried.
Shotguns, pistols, knives and
museum battle pieces comprised
the major part of the arms turned
in by the patriots in accordance
with Allied Military Government1
proclamations. Subsequent raids
have shown the partisans kept the
machine guns and submachine
guns and still possess even mor
tars and anti-tank guns.
“The partisans are much better
armed than the Italian police in
Northern Italy,” a high Allied
public safety officer said. “What’s
more, they are taking care of their
arms. We recently seized a ma-1
chine gun cache. The weapons
were carefully oiled and crated.)
We also have had reports, never
confirmed, that weapons are be- ■
ing moved to Central and South
ern Italy.”
National police forces in Italy
now total approximately 106.000,1
roughly one-third of the number
employed during Mussolini’s “po
lice-state” regime. Police morale
is questionable. The Carabinieri,
Italy’s elite police corps, have
been subjected to constant left
wing attacks as “monarchist
tools.” While the officers are gen
erally believed to be monarchists,
the political sentiments of the
ranks are an unknown factor.
Political allegiance of the com
mon cop obviously will be a vital
factor in controlling any disorders
which may break out when gen
eral elections are held. Concern
over the political role of the po
lice in the next few months was
expressed by Pope Pius XII in an
audience granted to 600 graduates
of the Royal Technical Police
School in Rome.
