JUNEAU SCHOOLS
GET $35,633.29
OF TOBACCO TAX
Juneau school system will receive
$35,633.29 as its share of the Terri
torial Tobacco Tax money for the
period from June 20, 1950 to June
19, 1951, it was announced today
by Commissioner of Education Dr.
James Ryan.
Of this amount, $3,000 is a basic
allotment given all schools in the
Territory: $17,125.93 is for ratio of
daily attendance and $15,507.36 is
figured on the number of profes
sional employees of the schools.
Total amount of money turned
over to the Department of Educa
tion from the Tobacco Tax was
$488,817.95. Rural schools received
$69,069.98, which, Ryan explained,
is allotted to them on a percentage
basis of average daily attendance,
which was 14.13.
A sum of S419.703.86 was left to
be divided between 24 schools of the
Territory, not including military
schools. Ryan said the Nome and
Eagle schools did not apply for
funds as they have no new con
struction program planned for the
coming year.
Allotments are determined on the
average daily attendance and on
the number of employees hired by
each school.
Anchorage led the field by having
the greatest percentage of employ
ees. 137.5 and highest average daily
attendance, 3,036.12 and received
$107,871.61. Fairbanks was next
with $47,165.35. Ketchikan received

RADIOMEN
! STILL OUT
ATLANTIC
(Continued from Page One)
Curran said NMU operations would
be back to normal by midnight to
night. But whether the American
flag ships resume sailings depend?
largely on the radiomen. Maritime
law forbids vessels to sail without
a radioman.
650 Ships Involved
The seven-day tie-up by the 52,
000-member NMU affected or
threatened some 650 ships operating
out of Atlantic and Gulf coast ports.
Under the new two-year NMU
contract, with Its provisions retro
active to last Saturday, the union
won an immediate 44-hour work
week at sea to be cut to 40 hours
Dec. 16.
On the west coast, 300 radiomen
tied up American flag shipping six
days before they won a $39 monthly
boost, about 11 per cent, Thursday.
The radiomen's old wage scale start
ed at $352.
The eastern and gulf radiomen
said last night they would not ac
cept less than the west coast set
tlement. *
Engineers now earn between $373.

ARMY PLANE DROPS
EQUIPMENT TO MT.
MC KINLEY_ PARTY
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June 23,
(CIL)—Two thousand pounds of
equipment and supplies were drop
ped Friday to the Mt. McKinley ex
pedition by flight A of the 10th
Air Rescue Squadron, Elmendorf
Air Force base. A twin-engine trans
port released forty packages, over
the area surrounding the e oedi
tion’s main base camp, at a K,000
foot altitude on the Kahiltna Gla
rirr, start of the proposed research
iute on the west side of McKinley.
Flown in by Moore
The four members of the expedi
tion's mapping party were flown
onto the glacier by Dr. Terris Moore
president of the University of Al
aska, in Dr. Moore’s light, ski
i quipped aircraft. They landed on
the glacier at a 7000-foot level, and
from there made the trek, to their
present location. The four are Dr.
Bradford Washburn, director of
the Boston Museum of Science and
leader of the expedition; Dr. Hen
ry Buchtel, Denver physician;
James Gale of Anchorage, Arctic
survival expert; and Capt. William
D Hackett, U. S. Army, of Denver,
now stationed at Fort Richardson,
Alaska, who has made many moun
tain ascents throughout the world.
At Wonder Lake
The geologic party of the expedi
tion is now at Wonder Lake, where
they are reported to be awaiting
j I he horse pack train which will
j transport them part of the 55 miles
j to Peters Glacier, on the northwest
| side of the mountain, where they
plan to conduct research before
proceeding to the Kahiltna camp.
They are T. M. Griffiths, glacial ge
ologist from the University of Den
ver; Dr. John Ambler, Denver phy
sician; Barry C. Bishop of Cincin
nati, 19-year-old geology student at
the University of Cincinnati; and
Jerry More of Denver, a 23-year-old
Dartmouth College student.
New Route Safer
Dr. Washburn radioed that the
present route up the base of the
mountain seems safer and more
practical than any route previously
taken. The portion of the Kahiltna
Glacier traversed by foot was des
cribed as being a "good, steep,
steady climb—ascending about 2500
feet in five miles—with few crevas
ses or holes." This is the first time
I that the western buttress of the
mountain has been approached.
The weather the last two days
has been excellent. When the party
reached the camp site last night, the
temperature was 9 degrees above
zero; and later had risen to twen
ty degrees.
Precision Drops
The material dropped included
the great bulk of the expedition’s
heavy supplies. When one load
dropped with terrific impact just
five feet from the men’s tent, they
•asked for less precision. All other
drops, they said, were made “with
in easy walking distance.”
Plans are now being made by the
mapping party to set up their geo
detic instruments on a huge dome
of snow located at approximately
12,500-foot altitude.
The Mt. McKinley expedition is
being jointly sponsored by the Bos
ton Museum of Science and the
University of Denver.
