PAYCHECK CUT
FOR ALASKA BOARD
As was expected,
the territorial Sen
ate renewed its fight
to kill the Alaska
Development Board by
cutting Board funds
last week. The sal
ary of manager George
Sundborg was plummet
ed from 512,000 to
56/600 a year. It is
said that this will
make it impossible
for•the Board to re
tain Mr. Sundborg.
The Senate also
hit the Board a se
cond deathblow when
it voted that all un
expended revenues of
former appropriations
must revert to the
g^nepal fund this
,^ear% except those .
‘appropriations voted
to" schools.
The Board had
