Senate Group
Here On Tour
F©ur U. S. Senators visited i
Kodiak and Kodiak Naval Sta-:
tion Sunday on a two hour
tour of the construction pro
jects in process.
The four senators are a sub
committee of the Senate Com- j
mittee on Public Works. Sena- >
tor Francis S. Case, R-South
Dakota, is chairman. Others)
are Spessard L. Holland, D-1
Florida; John C. Stennis, D-|
Mississippi;- Dennis Chavez,
D-New Mexico.
The Senators were accom
panied by Colonel Louis S.
Foote, Alaska District En
gineer and two committee ad
ministrative assistants. They
arrived at 3 pm by military!
plane and were met at USNS
by Admiral John Perry, Cap
tain Rhodes and their staffs.
The entire party was driven
by bus around the station and
into Kodiak where they in
spected the new housing pro
ject, the D & A dock, the Rus
sian Church and other points
of interest.
Kodiak was represented by
a four man committee of the
Chamber of Commerce. Prior
to the arrival of the party a
request was wired asking an
interview regarding the need
of a small boat harbor here.
Acting Mayor Jack Hinckel,
Pat Cannon, representing the
fishermen’s union, Merrill
Coon, chairman of the C of C
for small boat harbor, and
Marshall Crutcher, president
of the Kodiak C of C travelled
with the committee on the
tour.
“The city’s need for the
boat harbor was presented as
fully as the limited time made
possible,” Crutcher said yes-1
terday. j
Senator Case ssid it would
seem more feasible if the por
tion of the territory north of
Fairbanks and the Aleutian
Islands remained.in territorial j
status. He felt that a new]
state of Alaska would have
''rent diffi^’iltv and expense in
maintaining functions of gov-!
eminent in those remote and
r arsely settled areas. •
Cancer Drive
Nets $2650
The local Car.cer Crusade
led by Mrs. Rose Segner
soared to an all-time high this
year as the fund reached
$2,650. The figure is $1,120
'over last years’ drive and $650
[higher than the goal set at the
[start of the campaign.
, Mrs. Segner was lavish in
[ her praise of those who con
tributed to the drive. “I wish
| to thank everyone in Kodiak,
the Naval Station and the con
j struction workers who so gen
j erously donated and made this
I a success,” Mrs. Segner said.
| She added that several
1 pledges are still outstanding
! and she expected them to be
turned in this week. She es
pecially thanked Jules Radin
sky, civil service club mana
ger, for the $386=raised by the
C1UO.
' Mrs. Segner pointed out
‘ that a part of the money raised .
! to fight the dread disease will
be used here in the territory.
A part of the money goes to
the Cancer Research Program.
1 Last year a little over $1,500
was raised locally for the fight
.against cancer.
Dick Butler, local bartender,
1 will leave on the Denali Mon •
, day for the states. He does not
* plan to return to Kodiak. C; A
j However, he said, he has
j previously left here three
; times “for good”, so his fu
!ture plans are really indefinite.
