Segregation
FCL.UDED in t'he Interior Department BIA budget
requests for 1963 is a request for $350,000 for a 512
pupil high school with boarding facilities for the na
tive children from communities of northern Alaska to
be built at Fairbanks.
It is understandable that more boarding schools
are necessary in several parts of the State so that
native children from small villages may have the op
portunity of high school education. But to bring seg
regation into the picture in higher education by budd
ing a high school for Eskimo children is something
which should not be encouraged.
Eskimo children are first cllass Americans and
first class Alaskans and should grow up normally with
all other children within .the State so they can work
side by side without any unnatural barriers.
The money for this high school could be better
spent to improve and enlarge state public schools so
that the citizens of tomorrow can liearn together as
Alaskans without racial conflict or complexes. Civic
organizations, Legislators, political parties, ANB and
village councils should vigorously oppose such a school
asking instead that boarding schools be put wherever
there are high schools such as Kotzebue, Nome, Fair
banks, etc., so that Eskimo children may be as near
home as possible rather than build another Mt. Edge
cumibe. This school will not be built if the Eskimo
people do not want their children segregated. This is
Still a free country.

FAIRBANKS OR — In an inter
view Saturday with the News
Miner, State Sen. Robert McNealy
in Juneau said the special Sen
ate Highways Investigating Com
mittee, of which he is chairman,
is working hard to probe deeply
into all the ramifications of the
failure to obtain adequate roads
since Statehood was granted.
McNealy, whose committee is
probing the State Division of
Highways and related agencies
after a special investigating com
mittee was named last week by
Senate President Frank Peratro
vich, reiterated that this “will not
be a whitewash” committee, hut
one which intends to get to the
bottom of the operation and
policies of the Division of High
ways and its apparent lack of
action.
McNealy said, “due to the com
plaints made to me and others on
the highways of the Fourth Di
vision, or lack of road building,
all 20 of the senators in the
Legislature voted to hold a full
scale investigation of the Highway
Division and related agencies. In
U115, \JTUV. XL»g&U ctlSU tUUtUUCU.
He added, “I had promised you
folks at home to make this move
and as a result ended up as chair
man of the investigating com
mittee. Now is the time when
you folks back at home have a
chance to have your say as to
roads, or lack thereof. Groups of
citizens are urged to send a re
presentative to Juneau to testify.
McNealy said the regular com
mittee hours will be from 7 to 9
p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thurs
days, and Fridays until Feb. 15
or longer if necessary.
He said these hours were set
to lose no time during regular
Senate hours, although special
sessions wil be held so as not to
delay those coming from a dis
tance when requested.
In a terse tone, McNealy said,
“This is a fact finding commit
tee, and the public may attend
the sessions as well as the press.
We welcome witnesses both pro
and con in order to find out about
our roads.
“We have offered this op
portunity to the people of Alaska
and I am not going to be too
sympathetic next summer to
those who call about roads and
made no effort to assist this Sen
ate investigation of highways.”

AB Cancels Certificate of
Sourdough Air Transport
WASHINGTON iffl — The Civil
Aeronautics Board was advised
Saturday to cancel the supple
mental airline certificate of Sour
dough Air Transport, Seattle.
The CAB’s Bureau of Econ
omic Regulation said the com
pany has virtually no resources
and no available equipment or
personnel.
The Bureau’s counsel, George
Kenyon Jr., told CAB examiner
Richard Walsh that Sourdough
has demonstrated a “serious lack
of concern” for compliance with
safety regulations and has de
monstrated that it is unfit for re
newal of its certificate.
Walsh is considering the appli
cation of Sourdough for extension
of a 2-year operating certificate
that has expired.
The owners of the airline were
identified as Mr. and Mrs. Anton
R. Johansen of Seattle.
Kenyon said Sourdough owns
no airworthy aircraft, only a DC-3
purchased in damaged condition
in 1955 for $75.
He said the plane has been de
teriorating in the open at Nome,
Alaska, since 1955. He noted also
that in 1957 Johansen told the
Board it would cost $50,000 to
$60,000 to repair the plane, and
that he now estimates the cost at
only $95,000.
The Bureau said Sourdough
violated regulations by renting
out its certificate to Flightcraft,
Inc., a Portland, Ore., air taxi
operator, and to Southeast Air
lines, a Philadelphia supplemental
operator, without prior premission
of the Board.
Ex-Gen. Walker Files for
Governor of Texas
AUSTIN, Tex. UP> — Edwin
Walker, the controversial former
Army General, and Gov. Price
Daniel, who wants to be Texas’
first four-term chief executive,
dived into a hot gubernatorial
race Friday.
Both became candiates for
nomination in a May 5 Democratic
primary election that promises to
be bitterly contested.
Walker, 52, resigned as a Major
General late last year after the
Army relieved him of command
of the 24th Division in Germany
and reprimanded him for a troop
indoctrination program. He since
has aligned himself with extreme
rightist groups.
Walker paid his $1,000 filing
fee to the State Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee late Friday.
An aide of Sen. John Tower,
GR-Tex.), said in Washington that
Tower and Sen. Strom Thurmond,
(D-S.C.), both urged Walker not
to enter politics. The aide said
both senators told Walker his cru
sade for a principle would lose
“gloss and glitter” if he became
a candidate.
Argentina Pres.
Frondizi Defends
Cuba from OAS
BUENOS AIBES, Argentina Oft
—President Arturo Frondizi bit
terly assailed ’’international re
actionaries” Saturday and defi
antly defended Argentina’s re
fusal to vote for expelling Cuba
from the OAS at the Punta Del
Este Conference.
In a speech at Parana, Fron
dizi declared he accepts full re
sponsibility for Argentina’s stand
that brought angry military de
mands for an immediate break in
relations with Castro’s Cuba.
In speaking of reactionaries,
Frondizi referred to opponents of
his government’s position and de
clared “I will die” in defense of
Argentina’s dignity.
He defended Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador and Mex
ico for abstaining on the vote to
expel Cuba from the councils of
the Organization of American
States (OAS).
He said that against stern op
position, the six-nation bloc stood
its ground to defend the legal
rights of the OAS and “the basic
principles of self determination
and non-intervention.”
In a warning to the United
States and 13 Latin nations which
voted to expel Cuba, he said the
renunciation of these principles
could plunge the hemisphere into
“the law of the jungle.”
The president’s surprising
speech, coming after he appear
ed to have bowed to the pressure
of military leaders, was expected
to add fuel to the military crisis
in Argentina.
A government communique had
announced that Argentina now
favored the ouster of Cuba from
the inter-American system” as
soon as possible.”
And Friday Frondizi had sum
moned home his ambassador to
Cuba, Julio Amoedo, in an ap
parent first step toward a (break
in diplomatic relations.
