They Weren’t Really
Stowaways on Malaspina
WRANGELL UR — School Supt.
Ray Nimf said Thursday that high
school boys who tarried on the
ferry Malaspina Wednesday got “a
little talking to” but that no disci
plinary action was planned.
The students were in the crowd
that inspected the new Alaska fer
ry when she stopped here. After
the Malaspina left it was reported
18 boys had hidden on the vessel
and that she had to return to port
to let them off.
Capt. Reuben Jacobsen, the
Malaspma’s skipper, explained at
Ketchikan that this wasn’t quite
right. He said the ferry had hardly
left the pier and had one line
left to be cast off when the boys
turned up.
Nimf said school had been dis
missed so that students could go
aboard the ferry, and they were
supposed to be back in school by
11 a .in. He said the “stowaways”
were “a little late.”
Alaska Pays More
Per Pupil to Educate
Than Any Other State
WASHINGTON UP) — The Na
tional Education Assn, says Alaska
pays more per pupil to educate its
children than any other state.
In a report issued Wednesday,
the NEA gave the Alaska figure
as $620, compared with a national
average of $432. Oregon spent
$501.94, Washington $488 and
Idaho $314.
The NEA said Alaska also paid
its teachers the highest average
salary, $7,350 per year. But it
added that the dollar in Alaska is
equal to only about 68 cents in
the District of Columbia, because
of high living costs.
The average teacher salary in
Washington is $6,245, in Oregon
$6,050 and in Idaho $4,790, the NEA
said.
The organization listed the total
school enrollment in Alaska as
56,200 and the total current ex
penditure a year as $29,550,000 in
Alaska.

Design Change Will Take
“Shake” Out of Malaspina
SEATTLE UP» — A design change
in the exhaust system of the MV
Malaspina has been approved to
correct the vibration problem of
the new $3.5 million Alaska state
ferry.
Seattle naval architect Philip F.
Spauling said Wednesday he will
change the elbows which connect
the exhaust piping to superchargers
of the Malaspina’s twin 4,000
horsepower engines and install ex
pansion joints as vibration isolators
between the superchargers and
exhaust stacks.
Spaulding also plans to install
coil-spring hangers to shock
mount the exhaust lines.
The additional equipment will
be fabricated in Seattle by the
Puget Sound Bridge & Dry Dock
Co. and shipped north for installa
tion there, Spaulding said.
The change is expected to cor
rect the vibration without forcing
returning of the 352-foot ship to
Seattle, he added.

Pacific Storm Delays
Queen Elizabeth’s Jet
Plane Trip Down Under
VANCOUVER, B.C. UP) — Twice
delayed by weather on a flight to
the South Pacific, Britain’s Queen
Elizabeth and Prince Philip left
here today on a flight to Fiji via
Honolulu.
It was reported the Honolulu
refueling stop would be eliminated,
but it was reinstated.
The flight, plagued by foul
weather yesterday, was resumed
under clear skies.
The royal party had been travel
ing for 20 hours before landing
here last night after a 6,500-mile
flight.
The royal couple took off from
London yesterday for a scheduled
4,700-mile non-stop flight to Van
couver, B.C., in a British Overseas
Airways Boeing 707 jet.
The pilot, Capt. Thomas Nisbet
decided 30 minutes out of Vancou- *
ver to turn back to Edmonton,
Alta., because of a snowstorm on
the Canadian west coast.
The plane spent five hours at Ed
monton, where mechanical trouble
developed in an inside port engine.
Mechanics made repairs in zero
weather, with wind and a light
snow. The Queen and Philip stayed
in the plane, except to step to the
top of the bo^rd ramp once and
wave to a small crowd in the air
port terminal.
The big plane, with 47 pas
sengers and a crew of 12, took off
at 7:37 p.m. EST for Honolulu.
Nine hundred miles out over the
Pacific Ocean, Capt. J. T. Percy,
who had taken over the controls
in Edmonton, turned back.
Winds with gusts up to 70 mph
had closed Honolulu Harbor,
blown a roof off a hangar at
Wheeler Air Force Base there and
injured at least five persons.
