Railroaders
Demand Apology
FAIRBANKS Wl — Twenty J
Alaska railroaders here are de
manding an apology from Rep.
Ben Jenson, (R-Iowa), for his sug
gestion the government-owned
railroad is overstaffed and its
employes overpaid.
The ARR employes were pre
paring Friday night to send wires
not only to the Iowa congressman
but to this state’s congressional
delegation.
The Associated Press quoted
Rep. Jenson as asying, “I think
your salary costs and your com
mon labor costs all the way up
and down the line are exorbitant.”
The congressman addressed
this remark to John Manley,
newly-appointed railrolad general
manager, at a House Appropria
tions Subcommittee hearing re
cently. The testimony was made
public last week.
. Local employes of the railroad
said they had been ridiculed by
friends and acquaintances since
me aiui, y w as puvuoucu xu uic
newspaper and broadcast on the
radio.
A spokesman said:
“We’ll lay it on the line: The
more we think about it, the mad
der we get. We don’t have any
criticism in the operation of the
railroad or of our pay. But the
bologna that he (Rep. Jenson)
is putting out, that we’re paid
too much, is just something he j
doesn’t know anything about.
“You know that a sectionman
on the Alaska Railroad works
under the toughest known condi
tions on any railroad.
“The latest federal wage re
port puts Fairbanks on a 37 per
cent differential over Seattle in
cost of living. The wages don’t
match those of private industry
in this area.”
The ARR employe also poihtec
out the railroaders don’t have th<
25 per cent tax free allowance
granted persons employed undei
the classified Civil Service list ir
Alaska.
SENATE REFUSES TO CONCUR
WITH HOUSE CHANGES IN
ELECTION COOE OF i960
JUNEAU (R — The Senate re
fused to concur Saturday with a
House version of a bill making
numerous changes in the election
code of 1960.
The Senate’s action means that
the bill will probably wind up in
a free conference committee where
House and Senate differences can
be ironed out.
The measure provides, among
other things, for pre-registration
in the state’s most populated elec
tion districts and for the elimina-r
tion of straight party voting in
general elections.

Claim Cigarettes
Contribute to
Number of Diseases
LONDON UP) — A committee
from Britain’s Royal College of
Surgeons reported recently after
a two-year study that cigarette
smoking may be a contributing
cause of death from a number of
diseases besides lung cancer.
The committee studied thou
sands of case histories and ex
amined more than 200 other medi
cal inquiries into smoking. Some
of their conclusions leaked out
several weeks ago. But the full
70-page report was not made
public until last week.
Here are some of their findings:
Cigarette smoking is the most
likely cause of the recent world
wide increase in deaths from lung
cancer;
The habit probably increases
the risk of death from coronary
heart disease, particularly in early
middle age;
It may be partly responsible for
tuberculosis deaths among elderly
men;
Smoking may be a contributory
factor in cancer of the mouth,
pharynx, esophagus and bladder;
It may be a reason for the in
creased mortality from peptic
ulcers; and
It is an important predisposing
cause in development of chronic
bronchitis.
In New York, the Tobacco In
stitute, an organization supported
by American tobacco manufac
turers, said the report from Eng
land is admittedly a review of old
data without any new reasearch
findings.
George Allen, president of the
institute, said he questioned
whether the report would have
any bearing on the situation in
the United States since the same
data have been under study here
' for a long time.

the full value of all taxable real
and personal property, with the

monies to provide for a basic
school program, as outlined in the

lution calling for further study
