THE
MUKLUK
TRAIL
(BY E. L. BARTLETT)
WASHINGTON, July 1, (yp)—
The Post ofilces at • Haines and
Hyder are to be relegated to the
fourth class, according to recent
anaDOuncement made by the Post
Ofiflce Department. Previously the
postmasters in charge of those off
ices have been, presidential appoint
ees.. Mrs. Loretta C. Hill, acting
postmaster at Hyder has been re
commended by Delegate Dimond
for permanent appointment.
Alarmed at the long continued
absence of Albert' Flmk and fear
ing foul play, residents at Hot
Springe oq the Tanama River wired
Delegate Dimond after earlier eff
•
orts to organize a search for Mr.
Fink had failed. United States
marshals in Alaska are not author
ized to incur expenses for searches
of that character and a special
order was necessary. Tfle Dele
gate placed the matter before the
Department of Justice, the result
being that a deputy was directed
to proceed from Fairbanks ; to
search for Mr. Fink.

Commissioner of Indian Affairs
John Collier, Territorial Commis

the endeavor to have the federal

ation of Alaska Indian children.
At present the Territory is pay
ing for the educa ion of several
hundred children of Indian blood,
a charge, it is believed, which
shftild properly he borne by the
Office of Indian Affairs.
Commissioner Collier was very
sympathetic to the representations
made by Mr. Karnes and Mr. Dl
mond.
Suggested to him was an entire
ly new policy with respect to ed
ucation of Indian children.
Under the plan proposed the
Territory would take over the ad
imimistration of Office of Indian
Affairs schools, and the federal
government would pay into the
Alaska, treasury certain stated sums
to pay the cost of operating the
Indians schools.
Responsibility for medical care
of natives would still rest upon
the Office of Indian Affairs.
Before any such plan as this
could (be .put into effect approp
riate legislaton would have to be
passed by Congress.
Commissioner Collier promised
to study carefully the suggestions
placed before him.
His approval would, in all like
lihood, be necessary before Cong
ress would act.
AN Alaskan girl who has spent
the lasit two years in* Europe and
who now is in Washington on a

•of the time since her return.
Valdez has been added to the
cities at which the fleet of des
troyers to visit Alaska in July
and August will stop.

will visit Valdez from July SO
to August 1.

discussed.
A minimum price of 12.50 per
case for evaportaed <mllf tor ex
port to Alaska and a maximum
price of |2.60 per case were the
figures tentatively proposed by ev
aporated milk companies. The
prices ' quoted are Intended to be
the prevailing ones for Pacific
Coast States and freight charges
will have to be added to Alaska
points.
Mr. Dimond withheld approval
or protest until such time as he
communicated with Governor Troy.
Thousands of government em
ployees in Washington and in the
field were dropped from the rolls
last night as part of the economy
program;
Of a'll the bnrean* and depart
ments affected, the prohibition
bureau probably lost the greatest
!percentage of . personnel. __...
The Alaska unit of the bureau
waa completely abolished, prohib
ition enforcement being left to
United States marshals. Five pro
hibition officers in th$ Territory
are affected by the order, it was

A wedding the morning of June
29 in Washington of interest to

law offices of Harry E. Pratt.
Mr. and Mrs. Wade will make
their home in Washington for the
present.
.Mr Wade was formerly a spec
ial investigator for the Department
of Justice and visited Alaska in
that capacity.
There is no distor tion >n the
}vmi of (the Bureau of the Budget
to crder a separate study of living
co^s in Alaska, as suggest-*! by
Delegate Dimond, sof that it could
•be conclusively proved ihat feder
al employees in the Territory are
under greater expense, the idea
•being that they should be forced
to accept a ponportionately lesser
pay reduction than those in the
States.
Alvin Brown, acting Director of
the Budget Bureau, has advised
the Delegate that “The amount of
reduction in compensation of fed
eral employees is determined by
Sections 2 and 3 of Title 11. of the
Act of March £0. 1933 (Public No.
2). Under this provision of law.
I do mot believe tha any discretion
rests with the President to apply
any cost of living figures except
those which apply generally in the
United States.”
Commissioner and Mrs. Karnes
departed yesterday aftermoon for
Chicago, where he will attend the
annual meeting of the National

who have been visiting relatives
in Minnesota for the last couple
of months, will remain in the

go West to Washington before re

and KFQD, at Anchorage, the Del
egate will render an account of
his stewardship to date. In Ident
ical 15 minute talks he will give
the high lights of the last four
months in Washington so fgr as
they have effected Alaska.
The electrical transcription -was
