FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May 31.— Water 4 feet deep in streets and buildings still kept Nulato residents crowded in hillside tents or upper stories today as the first lower Yukon River town to restore communication with Fairbanks. A Pacific Alaska Airways radio op erator messaged all fuel supplies in the towif were carried away by the flood waters, which at one time ran 10 feet deep. There were no lives lost. The food supply was ample. Holy Cross, Kaltag and Koyukuk Station, other lower Yukon towns in the path of the flood, remained cut off from communication. f TONIGHT T GARY COOPER JEAN ARTHUR IN “THE PLAINSMAN” Dlrnetad by Cecil B. deMille 8 P.M. Eastern Standard Time WJSV Land Coast-to-Coatt A Columbia Network CIVIL SERVICE UNIT HITS RAILROAD BILL Retirement Administrative Agency Plans in Measure Criticized. The present draft of the railroad retirement bill, which creates the ad ministrative agency outside of civil service, was hit Saturday in a letter from the Civil Service Reform League to Chairman Wheeler of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee. "This bill represents a distinct backward step in that it would with draw from the classified civil service the 800-odd positions on the present Railroad Retirement Board,” the league declared. "We can see no valid reason for the sweeping exceptions from the civil service act contained in this bill. The conclusion is inevitable that it represents a concession to certa ele merits which have a vital Interest In controlling the policies and ad ministration of the Railroad Retire ment Board.” The Interstate Commerce Commit tee Is urged to amend the bill to pro vide that all administrative positions shall be subject to civil service. --1 ■ Wool Demand Grows.
