Day Reports
Pribilof Natives
Have Good Life
WASHINGTON, (JP)— Congress
has been told that flying from in
land Alaska to the Pribilof Islands
is “like coming into the city of
Washington from some of the
worst slums in New York.”
Albert M. Day, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service Director, painted
a glowing picture of the life of
550 native Aleuts living on the
two islands in the Bering Sea—
St. Paul and St. George—and en
gaged in the government’s fur
sealing operations.
His testimony in support of a
$1,614,000 budget request for ad
ministration of the islands during
the fiscal year beginning July 1
was made public Saturday by the
House Appropriations Committee.
He estimated the income from
the Pribilof seals during the cur
rent fiscal year at $2,690,000, of
which he said “about a million
and a half” could be considered
net profit.
Day said the island housing is
the best he’s seen in any Alaska
native village. Pay for work in
the sealing runs from $500 to
$2,400 a year in cash and allow
ances—“conservatively.”
In addition to housing, schools,
hospitals, recreational facilities,
electricity, basic clothing and food,
Day said, “Sears, Roebuck and
Montgomery Ward do a good busi
ness with them by mail order.”
ALLOTMENT OKAYED FOR
HAINES WATER SUPPLY
WASHINGTON, (^—Secretary
of the Interior Chapman Saturday
approved a $269,000 allotment for
improvements and additions to the
Haines, Alaska, water supply and
sewage system. The allocation is
part of the department’s public
works program for Alaska.

CAP News
The Nome squadron of the Civil
Air Patrol is now meeting at the
Federal Building each Thursday
evening at seven-thirty. Previous
ly, meetings were held bi-monthly,
the first and third Wednesdays. A
need for having meetings more
often has been realized, with the
expanding program in the offing.
The CAP ship, a Stinson L-5, is
now back from Fairbanks where
it had its major overhaul. It was
flown back last week by Reggie
Joule, an active pilot in the or
ganization. It has been decided
among the pilots that the ship will ^
be left on wheels the remainder of
the winter season.
The cadet program has been
progressing very nicely the past
months and several of the cadets
have received their ranks. Logan
Dowd has been commissioned 2nd
Lieutenant in charge of the cadet
squadron. Lieutenant John Alm
quist, CAP commandant officer,
and Lieutenant Robert Emons
training officer, announce that a
number of complete uniforms
have arrived for the Cadets and
that the remainder are on the
way* By mid-summer a cadet pro
gram as good or better than any
in Alaska will be the pride of the
Nome Squadron.
Cadet Training is to be an ac
credited course in one county of
Florida. Unanimously approved by
the Dade County School Board,
the course will carry one full
credit term, and is basically avia
tion, including navigation, meteor
ology, and the theory of flight.
Thus, showing that the Civil Air
Patrol is once again, as in World
War II, playing an important part
in the nation’s defense.

RFC Shakeup
Expected Soon
WASHINGTON, (AV^President
Truman was expected to move
fast — possibly this weekend — to
put the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation under new manage
ment.
Administration forces with some
grudgingly granted help won final
Senate approval yesterday for the
President’s plan to abolish the
big government lending agency’s
board of directors, and place a
single boss in charge. But three
bills to kill the agency—reorgan
ized or not—are still pending in
the Senate. Their authors said
they would press vigorously for
their enactment.
Congressional sources close to
the White House said Mr. Truman
may call on W. Stuart Symington,
chairman of the National Security
Resources Board, to take ovet, the
tough 'RFC job.
The drastic shakeup is an out
growth of a Senate banking sub
committee’s charges that the RFC
allowed a political ihfluence ring
ar> improper voice in its affairs.
