Anthropologists
To Probe
Anton Larsen Bay
An ancient Eskimo village site
may yield its secrets to a team of
amateur excavators this summer.
Anthropology Section chairman
Donald Clark told the Mirror to
day that the Kodiak Historical
Society is making plans for a
“dig” at Anton Larsen Bay.
Clark stated that in February
he will call a public meeting of
the Anthropology Section to ex
plain the archaeology project and
organize a tentative staff. Actual
excavation is scheduled to begin
in April or as soon as the weather
permits; however, prior to under
taking field work, project mem
bers will meet to discuss methods
and objectives of archaeology.
Last August the Historical
Society applied to the Interior
Department for an excavation
permit which was granted late in
October, at which time it was not
feasable to start field work.

With Sen. Kennedy (and others)
a bill to strengthen the nation’s

national service life insurance.
With Sen. Johnson (and others)
a bill to permit Federal civil ser
vants to retire at any age after 30

WTith Sen. Douglas (and others)
a bill to provide for an area

period.
National banks in Alaska would

Seattle, under an amendment to
the federal reserve act introduced
last week by Senators Warren G.
Magnuson and Henry M. Jackson
of Washington.
An administration sponsored
airport aid bill, introduced in the
Senate last week was “sharply
criticized" by Sen. Gruening. The
bill would authorize expenditure
of only $200 million over the next
four years instead of $575 million
over the next five years,„ as pro
vided in the Democratic-sponsored
bill, of which Sen. Gruening is
one of the authors.
The Eisenhower bill would
provide only 50-50 matching funds
in the case of Alaska. Under the
Democratic bill, the federal
government would pay 75 per cent
and Alaska 25 per cent of the cost
of airports in the new state.

VETERANS MAY BORROW ON
PERMANENT GI INSURANCE
Veterans holding permanent GI
life insurance don’t need to sur
render their policies for cash in
order to raise money urgently
needed during financial emer
gencies.
Veterans Administration said
these veterans may borrow up to
94 percent of their policies’ cash
surrender value.
Although this action reduces the
amount of protection for the
veteran’s beneficiaries by the
amount borrowed, it does leave the
policy in force* VA expMned.
