Apm ,i49 Mexico Urges ShipsTalco 'Overland Route' Alnsfta Students ........ .1 w Jrinhter Than In The States ' ' WASHINGTON, April 29 (U.R) Alaska Education Commissioner James C. Ryan told congress Thursday that students In the territory ter-ritory are generally a little bit brighter than, their state-side counterparts. Ryan testified before a senate ublic work subcommittee on egialatlon which would provide federal aid by the federal works administration for ' construction of schools, roads and other community com-munity facilities in Alaska. Questioned by Rep. Fred L. Crawford, R., Mich., Ryan was reluctant to talk about the comparative com-parative intelligence levels of students stu-dents in the United States and in the territory. He said he thought he might be "prejudiced." Crawford explained that he had investigated the matter himself and pressed Ryan for an answer. The commissioner then replied that intelligence examinations and other testing programs have shown thaf "I. Q. factors" and other intelligence ratios are higher high-er in the territory than in the states. " j Ryan said there is good "biological" "bio-logical" reason ior the difference. He explained that "very high type people -including many professional people and others who were exceptionally gifted were pioneers In the territory. Ryan added that since the i war there has been a "noticable jwa tering down" in the student in telligence level of the territory. Subcommittee Chairman Spes-r ; sard Holland, D., Fla., commented that Alaska must have been getting get-ting "some ordinary Americans" as settlers. Ryan told the committee that lack of adequate school buildings is "the number one educational problem in Alaska today."
