Honey Question Put Off In President's Proposals WASHINGTON, April 16, In the news conference Ei--President Eisenhower today I senhower did say that in some sent Congress his proposals for phases of the military opera- strengthening the hand of the secretary of defense but left for later action the matter of Pentagon money control. The money question over which a storm has blown up at the Capitol was put off for a year. Eisenhower said in a message to Congress that it will be dealt with in the Defense Department budget for the year starting July 1, 1959. Dispatch of the message I came on the heels of a newsj conference in which Eisenhow- i er denied he had ever approved the idea of having Congress appropriate a lump sum of money for the secretary of defense to finance the military establishment. That I awhile.

The tiny pet of John had been the crux of congr-es-! Birgel broke his leg in a fall tion he favors providing money for categories of tasks and letting the jobs be put where they can be best handled. The message to Congress said the secretary of defense "should have greater flexibility in money matters" but did not go into detail. "Our goal must be maximum strength at minimum cost," Eisenhower told the legislators.

THE EDITOR (Readers of the Daily News-Miner are welcome to write to the editor, but because limitations oj space, it is requested that letters be kept to 300 words or less.) Dear Valdez, Alaska April 12, 1958 The recent blast by Pelly makes many of we Alaskans want to stand up and fight. Mr. Pelly certainly doesn't know the score or doesn't want to admit it if he does. As for the POOR STARVED Seattle fishermen, it really is too bad, for just before I left there on April 5th I was talking to some of them.

One has had a good job all winter but was quitting it before fishing season (in Alaska) would open. That way he gets Unemployment Compensation and then when the fishing season opens he will get S1000 per month. Not bad, for he also will ask for Fisherman's unemployment compensation too and not even a taxpayer Alaska. So, Mr. Peliy says c'on't bow to his demands it will be NO statehood at this time.

Waters in and around the state of Washington have fish in them but state laws bounties they had paid out, but due to their own blunder in not having that law in evidence they had let a man talk for weeks and the Juneau men pass a law that otherwise would not have been passed. I still say they should know how to read and write. Then another recently talked over television pr6gram and said: "If we give Alaska Statehood, Canada will be wanting statehood too." I wonder if he never studied geography and history? As for fishing and conservation, we surely need some changes there for it was back in 1922 to 1926 that I wrote the Chicago Tribune to get in touch with Washington Congressmen and tell them to stop the Japs from putting then- nets to the bottom of Bering Sea across the mouths of the PREVIEWS OF THE PRIMARIES--Lathrop High School students exercise the franchise with election of student body officers Friday in the telephone booth in the front hall of the building.

If that is the opinion of the others in the state I'd like to suggest that all Alaskans having any shipping to or from the Territory, by-pass Washington and do their business with either Portland or San Francisco.

We have waited long enough for statehood and have paid taxes without representation for all these many years. Laws made in Washington conflict "with those made in Juneau and I still say those elected to hold positions in Washington should at least know how to read and write. Many of them certainly don't. Only a few years ago our Juneau group passed a bounty Jaw on eagles while at the same time Congressman Angel of Oregon was pleading- for weeks for Congress to pass a bill that would protect eagle in all states and Alaska. I sent him two eagle poems and letters which he published in Congressional Record during his pleading with Congress.

A letter from him saying he thought it was to be a losing battle gave me another idea. I sent another poem and letter to the Jate Annabel Parker McCann in New York. Those letters were all read in Museum df National History be fore a packed house. They then appointed a committee to go to Washington. They wanted to know WHY it was being stalled off.

After the dust was brushed off the records they found a $500 fine for any part of an eagle in your possession and that included Alaska. That law was in effect when the bounty law was passed.

The three early communists saints--Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky monstrated last week when he warned the satellites Russia would crush any anticommunist revolution.

John Pillion of New York. R.

E. McFarland, president of the ATFL, referred to Pillion's statement in which the International Fisherman and Allied Workers of America was described as the "largest union in Alaska." McFarland said: "The fact that there are 47 larger unions in the territory speaks for itself." The Republican congressman had stated that Communist influences, led by union leader Harry Bridges would take over the politics in Alaska if territory became a state. Called 'Misinformed' "It is difficult to imagine," McFarland replied, "how a person so uninformed as Rep. Pillion can be elected to Congress. A more serious fact is that this person is also a member of the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, whose deliberations and actions reach into the lives and affairs of every Alaskan." McFarland commented that the union to which Pillion referred has a "small member- commissioner of i ship" and is "dwindling even Curriculum Improvement Suggested ANCHORAGE, April 16, a schools should teach more of space concepts and give a better understanding of mathematics, a territory-wide curriculum committee has agreed.

The sheefish that so many say are only found in the Kobuk River were a Yukon fish till the Japs stopped their run with their nets. The few that escaped the nets 'naturally went to the next river that paralleled the which was the Kobuk.

For in 1927 when we were stationed on the Kobuk the Natives came to us to ask what those fish were as they had not been on that river very long. My husband said: "They are sheefish and belong! on the Yukon River." Sure though, the Natives on the Yukon were checked closely as to just how many fish they caught. Fish and Game men saw to that but never a word to the Jap boats and huge nets at the mouths of the rivers and then canning them and selling them below market prices to Mr. Felly's friends in Seattle.

Intruding Deer And Housewife Share Fright WILLIAMSTOWN, W. April 16, (ffl--Mrs. Milton McMillin still isn't sure whether she or the deer was more frightened.

They stood there, staring at each other. The big doe was still dripping glass slivers from the window it had just jumped through. Then they both headed for the nearest exit. Mrs. McMillin made it to the kitchen.

The doe, understandingly unaccustomed to waxed floors, collapsed in a heap. By the time Mrs. McMillin slammed the door and looked out the window, she got only a glimpse of the deer scampering back home.

The most he eliminates tensions, the more he is bound to weaken to some degree the links this country has with obstruct students.
