PAGE EIGHT $750,000 BOND | ISSUE WANTED BY | SCHOOL BOARD| | H i The Juneau Independent School| District will ask authorization of a $750,000 bond issue at a specialj election May 1€ This was decided at a special meeting of ‘the school board held last night with city officials :\lLll architects in charge of drawing plans fcr the proposed school. The bond issye will be necessary to finance the school district's share in constructing a new grade school at 12th Street and Harbor Way. Half the cost of building the school is hoped to be obtained ] through Federal funds under the! Public Works Bill for Alaska, School | Superintendent Sterling S. Sears| said today. Announcement of a special elec- tion for May 16 was first made at the meeting of the Parent-Teachers Association a week ago. It was thought at that time that authori- zation for only a $500000 bond ) issue would be needed. But revised estimates, presented by Foss and Malcolm, Architects, | at the special meeting last night) set the approximate cost of plan-| ning, constructing and equlpplng' the new school building at $900,000. | The estimate does not include cost of purchasing the site for thc!R school, filling the land, and burying! power lines now crossing the pro- posed site near the small boat har bor. As planned, the school would in- clude a combination auditorium- gymnasium capable of seating 1200 persons during basketball games and more than 2000 during stage | productions. { “This would take care of the! community’s need for an auditor- ium”, Sears said. ! He pointed out that Alfred Zen- ger and J. P. Christensen, members of the City Council's education committee, and Mayor Waino Hen-' drickson, who were at the meeting, agreed that a rifle range should be included, preferably in the base- ment of the building. Need for the range—and the auditorium-gymnasium — were de- scribed as even greater after news of the results of yesterday's special municipal election reached the school boayd meeting. The approval of the new ordin- ance by Juneau voters will mean that soon the AB. Hall will no longer be standing as a place m‘ which to hold basketball practice and target shooting, it was pointed out. | Sears said that if the $750,000 bond issue is authorized it is prob- able that not all of the bonds would be issued.

Qualified voters will be those who ‘were on the last city and school district tax rolls, Sear declared 40 TRAVEL ON PAN AMERICAN YESTERDAY Pan American World Airways, on its flight to Juneau from Seattie yesterday brought 24 passengers to Juneau and on the return trip south took 14 passengers to Seattle and two to Annette Island.

NATIONALISTS SAY THEY'RE WINNING, BUT SiGNS SAY NO By Stanley rich HOIHOW, Hainan Island, April {21—(P—Firecrackers shattered the silence of Hoihow's streets this afternoon as the Chinese National- |ists’ own newspaper announced a great victory in the defense of Hainan Island. The Nationalists said 10,000 Chinese Red invaders were killed or captured in an eight-hour battle that started last midnight. (A Ivationalist broadcast said two Russians were found among the captured Communists. It said Hai- nan defense headquarters verified the capture. | It also The broadcast, by from Tai- Francisco this morning. \the Central News Agency pei, was heard in San by the Associated Press.) Despite official optimism and the jubilation in this island’s capital city, however, there were other ‘signs the Nationalists were not do- ling so well. As I arrived at Hoihow airfield last night I could see a tiny AT-6 training plane struggling to get off the ground with a 25-pound bomb said Nationalist war-| ships sank 40 or 60 junks off Lu1<; chow Peninsula opposite Hainan THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA strapped under each wing. Such desperate measures don’t jibe with the Nationalist reports lof bombing in the distance. In Tapei, Formosa, Chiang Kai- Shek’s capital, Nationalist dispatch- es boasted Hainan was being stoutly defended But there was an uneasiness over the fate of the island. | JUNEAU SOROPTIMISTS RECEIVE HONOR FOR EXTENSION SERVICE The Terrace Room of the Bar- anoi was filled to capacity today when members of the Soroptimist Club heard read, a letter announc- ing the fact that the Juneau Club had been awarded the Marilyn Merrick Lewis Award for Three Fold Growth during the Biennium of 1948-50, being the first club in the Northwestern Region to have | it’s name engraved on a silver bowl which is to be in the pnsses-l sion of the club for the next two years. ‘According to Claire P. Nicholis, | Extension Chairman for the North- | western Region, the Juneau Club easily topped the list on growth points, based upon new clubs or- ganized and new members added to the Juneau Club’s roster during the biennium. Another event of major import- ance was the announcement that Laura MacMillan, ‘mmeciate past President of the Juneaa Club had been elected as Alaska’s first rep- resentative on the Regional Board. The club was also gratified “to hear exerpts from a letter from the Juneau-sponsored Soroptimist Club of Sitka telling of new serv- ice projects being planned there. ! Guest at the meeting was Marian | Hopkins of the Anchorage club and ! Assistant to the Alaska Area Chair- 'man of Extension. Mrs. Hopkins !brought greetings from Regional and Federation officers whom she contacted on her recent visit to the states. While in Juneau, Mrs. Hopkins will confer with Lois Jund, Alaska Coordinator for the coming Biennial Convention and with Alice Tilton Thorne, Alaska Extension Chairman.

The new interest rate will apply only to new applications made on or after April 24, and not to those mortgages already in effect.

It was explained that for example, a 25-year loan on a $10,000 mort- gage would now cost the home buyer $5420 monthly, which in- cludes principal, interest and insur- ance on the loan, contrasted to the old rate of $55.60 a month. While the $1.40 saving each month does not appear great, over the period of years the amortiza- tion is in effect, considerable money is lopped off the payments—a total or $420 in the case used as an exam- ple. | WE'VE SOLVED RUSS ATOMIC EXPLOSION, SAYS CONGRESSMAN WASHINGTON, April 21 — (® = Rep. Elston (R-Ohio) says thc( United States has solved the case of the atomic explosion in Russia | last year. | “We know definitely that it was caused by an atomic bomb,” the Congressman told a reporter, “and we know what the ingredients ot | that bomb were.” | Elston is a member of the Sen-| ate-House Atomic Energy Commit- tee, which deals with A-bomb and other related matters and has in- quired closely into the Russian atomic blast. He declined to disclose how the U.S. government obtained inform: tion about the Russian explosion, to discuss the Russian bomb fur- ther. There has been much speculation in this country over whether the Russians had a true bomb, or whether the blast might even have been caused by some disastrous ac- cidental explosion of a Russian atomic experimental plant. When |{ President Truman told of it last September 23 he used the words “an atomic explosion.” “Definitely the Russians don’t have the hydrogen bomb yet, any more than we do,” Elston added. Elston is working for a $583,000,000 increase in Congressional appro- priations for developing the U.S. air strength. FROM FEATTLE L.
