Supt. (Charles I
Reports Busy
School Term
In the Sept. 24 School Board
meeting it was voted that the en
tire School Board membership
should attend the annual associa
tion meeting to be held in Cordo
va, Oct. 14 through 18. This will
include Superintendent Vic
Charles.
The superintendent reported that
the new budget forms under the
new foundation program had been
received, and that the 1963-64 bud
get was still about $5,000 higher
than the $68,000 limit suggested
by the City Council. No action was
taken on the budget. Mr. Charles
said that the staff was very busy
and loing well, that student en
rollment was about 706 so far this
year, and that the curriculum was
about as broad as it could be with
the number of teachers employed.
Concluding the superintendent’s
report, Mr. Charles said that al
though the new Science Building
would provide additional room, the
school was still short of rooms and
quite congested. He said that Mrs.
Emmons had asked for a restroom
for the Science Department, but
that the moneys for renovating the j
Science Building were about used i
up and that he did not believe it
would be essential to have a rest
room this year.
The members agreed that this !
could be postponed until further
developments in the water and
sewer program. The superintendent j
said that the Science Building had
been insured for $10,000, and the ;
contents for another $10,000,
through the Nome Insurance Agen
cy. He reported that the Depressed
Area Fund of $7,000 would last
about one more week, but that the
Science Building should be prac
tically done by that time.

HONOLULU Iff)— A Nisei Na

soon become the first American of
Japanese ancestry to be promoted
to general officer rank in the U.S.
armed forces.

olulu, who last week was named to
command the 29th Infantry Bri

Washington.
Takemoto was commissioned in
1935 in the Officer Reserve Corps
and saw combat with the 100th
Battalion 442nd Regimental Com
bat Team in World War II. This
was the most decorated regiment
in the U.S. Army and was com
prised entirely of Nisei soldiers,
Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, D-Hawaii,
among them. Takemoto won the
Bronze Star, World War II Vic
tory Medal, Purple Heart and the
President Citation with cluster.
In 1946, Takemoto joined the
Hawaii National Guard and takes
over command from Big. Gen.
Michael Roman.
Takemoto was born in Honolulu
in 1912. His parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Tsunetaro Takemoto, came to the
Islands from Yamaguchi Prefec

Eisenhower Says Thanks
For Senate Privileges
GETTYSBURG, Pa. W — For
mer President Eisenhower, with
a statement of thanks, said Fri
day he has no present plans to
use the privilege extended to ex
Presidents by the U.S. Senate to
speak before that chamber when
they desired to do so.
“I am most appreciative of the
courteous gesture,” he said, in a
statement; "I shall deeply cherish
it.
‘‘While I have no present inten
tion of availing myself of the priv
ilege accorded me, I would con
sider it an honor to do so should
I ever feel that my views respect
ing a matter of great importance
to the nation would warrant me
imposing upon the time of that
great legislative body.”
The Senators earlier this week
amended the chamber’s rules to
give ex-Presidents the privilege
of addressing them.

Alcan Will Be Officially
Part of ‘Pan American’
RENO, Nevada UPi — A highway
route linking Mexico and Alaska
will be formally designated an in
ternational route by the Okana
gan Cariboo Trail Association here.
The association received per
mission from the Pan American
Congress at Washington, D.C., to
use the name “Pan American’’ ear
lier this year and the words will
probably be included in the new
title, Vice President Les Kofoed,
of Reno, said Friday.
The association’s 31st annual
convention will have about 50 del
egates from five states, the Yukon
Territory, British Columbia and
possibly Mexico. It gets under way
at Klamath Falls, Ore., Saturday
evening, with a reception and din
ner. Delegates will drive here for
weekend sessions.
The route will probably be called
the Pan American International
Highway, or some similar name, j
Kofoed said. The association has
been working three years to get
the route designation.
Next steps, Kofoed said, will be
to get highway officials in the var
ious states and areas to put up
Pan American Highway shields
along the route from Mexico City
to Fairbanks, Alaska.
The proposed route follows the
A.laska Highway south, along U.S.
97 through eastern Washington
and eastern Oregon, and then joins
C.S. 95 at Fernlev, Nev., east of
Reno. From Fernlev the route
goes through Las Vegas, Phoenix
and Tucson to Nogales, on the
Mexican border.
State Trooper, Negro Man
Shoot it Out in Alabama
ANDALUSIA, Ala. UPf— An Ala
bama trooper killed a Negro man
at a truck stop here Saturday af
ter the Negro shot the trooper in
! the stomach, the Highway Patrol
reported.
Col. Albert Lingo, Public Safety
Director, said the trooper was off
duty at the time.
The dead man was identified as
General Lee Bradshaw, 25.
Lingo said the wounded trooper,
in critical condition but expected
to recover, is Harold Hamilton. He
said Hamilton was in civilian
clothing when an argument arose
between the two men at a truck
stop about three miles east of this
south Alabama town.
Lingo said the argument began
when Hamilton found that his car
was blocked by Bradshaw’s auto
mobile and the trooper asked him
to move it. Lingo said Bradshaw
shot Hamilton in the stomach and
the trooper drew his pistol and
shot the Negro man several times.

Resembling a ship more than the conventional office structure,
the unique elliptically-shaped Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance
Company home office has added a distinctive face to the Hart
ford (Conn.) skyline.
The building is as unusual inside as it is outside. Visiting
executives, for example, would look in vain for that standard
business status symbol—the corner office. Private offices are
located along sides of the building and clerical workers occupy
the unpartitioned end sections with their panoramic views.
Elimination of corner offices reduces space lost to corridors.
Open planning admits light to all work areas.
The building was designed by the noted New York architec
tural firm, Harrison & Abramovitz, and is located in Hartford’s
Constitution Plaza urban renewal area.
