IRWINS RETURN
FROM WASHINGTON
Mr and Mrs. Don Irwin re
turned to Palmer la.-t week, glad
to get away from the hectic
Washington scene
The director of the Alaska Ag
ricultural Experiment Station re
ported the appointment of a new
administrator for the Agricultural
Research Administration, whidi
supervises the expenditure of fed
eral funds for agricultural r°
r search in Alaska. Dr. V P. Car
don resigned his position after 32
years of service in the depart
ment. He will continue service as
an assistant in the graduate
school of the Department of Agri
culture. The new administrator
is the former deputy administra
tor. Dr. Byron Shav.
In line with economies dictated
by the defense emergency. Ir
win expects no increase in the
direct federal appropriation for
agricultural research in Alaska,
although President Truman re
commended to Congress an in
crease of $25,000 in federal-grant
funds under the Adams and Pur
nell Acts. This amount was lop
ped off from that originally ap
propriated for Alaska by the last
legislature.
Regarding the Washington
scene in general. Irwin was dis
mayed to observe repeated indi
cations of low morale, possibly
stemming from recent discoveries
of corruption in high government
offices. On the political scene, he
thought Eisenhower’s chances fo:
nomination as the Republicar
presidential candidate lookec
good. Statehood for Alaska, h-;
feared, would not be accomplish
ed in this session of the legisla
ture. He did say. however, thal
Senator Butler, one of state
hood’s most vociferous opponents
might get his ears pinned bad
by his petticoat constituents. Ir
Nebraska, the Association of Wo
men’s Clubs is strongly behinc
the statehood measure. Senatoi
Butler comes up for re-electior
this year, and the women in thal
state' claim 52 percent of th«
votes.
