Five Students Will Take
2,300-Mile Boat Trip
EDMONTON, Alta. UP) — Five
American students left Edmonton
Monday for Whitehorse, Y.T., to
begin a 2,300-mile boat trip along
the Yukon River to the Bering Sea.
Four men and a woman from
the University of New Mexico
bought a 13-foot boat in Edmon
ton. They arranged to drive to
Whitehorse, 1,000 miles northwest
of here, and launch their boat at
Lake Bennett.
“We hope to learn something
about the world,” says Bill Car
penter, a business student, “and
maybe to learn something about
ourselves.”
Other members of the crew are
Mike Jenkinson and his wife, Karl
Kernberger and John Loehr. Their
ages range from 19 to 24.
They plan to eat fish, berries
and game birds but are taking a
supply of vitamins and concen
trated food with them.

Two Anchorage Men
Reunited After 33 Years
ANCHORAGE UR — Sigurd
Ostby, an Anchorage plumber who
has lived in Alaska for 15 years,
has been reunited with a nephew
after a 33-year separation during
which they were virtually out of
touch.
The nephew, Douglas Rasmusson,
a Grumman Aircraft technical re
presentative at Ft. Richardson,
moved to Anchorage a year ago.
The two had been living within
a few blocks of each other, with
out knowing a close relative was
at hand.
Rasmusson thought his uncle
was living in the Nome area.
Ostby recently learned his nephew
was living in Anchorage, but had
been unable to locate him.
A story in the Anchorage Times
last week did the trick. The two
men got together for the first time
since 1931, when Ostby had last
seen Rasmusson in New York
after first coming to this country
from Norway. Rasmusson was 11
years old at the time.
Rasmusson is married, and the
father of four children. His family
played host to Uncle Sig at a
family dinner to mark the re
union.

Kennedy's Special Tax
Treatment Is Rejected
WASHINGTON iff — The Hous<
Ways and Means Committee haj
rejected President Kennedy’s rec
ommendation that the special tax
treatment of dividend income be
repealed.
The administration had said that
dropping the provision, included
during the Eisenhower administra
tion, would increase government
revenues by some $460 million a
year.
A taxpayer now is permitted to
exclude from his taxable income
the first $50 of dividends and to
deduct from his tax bill a sum
equivalent to 4 per cent of his total
dividends.
The committee also voted Mon
day for a liberalization of drug
purchase deductions for persons 65
and older but rejected a proposal
that could have encouraged pur
chase of private medical insurance.
CAB Reaffirms Alaska
Airlines’ Charter Rates
WASHINGTON <*> — The Civil
Aeronautics Board reaffirmed Mon
day its approval of Alaska Air
lines’ charter rates for Convair
880 jet planes.
The board denied a petition of
Pacific Northern Airlines asking
reconsideration of the board’s
April 16 dismissal of complaints
of Pacific Northern and Northwest
Airlines against the charter rates.
The CAB retained its position
that the 880 rates were reasonable
by comparison with rates of Pacific
Northern and Northwest for the
larger Boeing 720 and Douglas
DC-8 jets.

are foolish; God Almighty made
them to match men.”
