SATURDAY 1 P.M. Edition VOL. LXXIV., NO. 11,461 LANEY BALL, GAGS, SERIOUS AWARD| AT LIBRARY BENEF:T Lions, Rofarians Tie in Hysterical Match-$440 for Building Fund Strictly from Morningside, last night's nitwit nonsense—called bas- ketball—had the customers rolling on the benches. Rolling on the floor was routine for the players, of whom as many as 25 were in action at one time. For a while, it was considered sissy to have only one team apiece in the game. The electric scoreboard in the High School Gymnasium registered time and points for the zaniest basketball in history. A laugh meter would have blown its top. Prediction was that more service club members would be in bed than In view this weekend, for Lions anc Rotarians gave their all, toward the serious goal' of fulfilling their pledges to the Juneau Memorial Library Fund. After deducting minor expense: and setting aside $108 for Uncle Sam, the Rotary-Lion fray netted $440 in cash .which was turned over to one of the star performers, Dr. James C. Ryan, a member of the three-man Library committee. Each club was credited with half that amount. After some fast legitimate basket- ball, in which the Juneau Colum- bians took Mike's of Douglas 56 tc 49 (see sports story), the hubbub began. Gaga with gags, hysteria began with a grand parade of players and attendants, led by Dr. Richard Wil- liams (Rotarian), in baseball catch- er’s outfit and two masks—one, the catcher’s cage, the other a Hallo- we'en face. Clowns, madmen in variety, doc- tors, litter bearers, water boys, cheer leaders—all joined the mirth parade to the music of the Juneau City Band. This aggregation; smart in appearance as well as in sound, was an important entertainment fea- ture. Barker Henry (Hank) Harmon (Rotarian), natty in a costume aug- mented by sideburns, moustachios and derby hat, took over for the tough assignment of holding the madness to some sort of pattern Most of it was his own brand of horror, as Lion Harry Sperling hac been incapacitated at the first practice and could not take an ac- tive part after the early strategy: planning. Gagging the Lions Club spon sorship of the House of David bas- keteers, their opponents took the floor wearing, besides their brighi green satin trunks, T-shirts stencil- led, “House of Rotary,” and each and every one with a beard. “Fantasia” is the word for the hirsute adornments of both teams-— beards and wigs in colors of the Northern Lights.

Bv DREW PEARSON ASHINGTON — Prince Bern- hard of the Netherlands was in New York’s Stork Club the other night as the guest of famed toy manufacturer Lewis Marks. Prince Bernhard is a much-loved cnsort, but hasn't been too good at fulfilling his basic obligation to the Netherlands—supplying the Dutch people with a male heir tc the throne. Bernhard, who had never been in the Stork Club before, asked his host to point out some of the celebrities. So Marks called popu- lar columnist Leonard Lyons over to the Prince's table and introduced him. “What’s so special about him?” whispered the Prince into Marks’ ear. “He,” replied Marks, “has four sons.” Truman and Small Business While President Truman talks big about being the friend of small business, the record doesn’t entirely bear him out.

Rude, Lions Club senter (opposed by a succession of Rotarians, ranging from rugged Peter Wood to stalwart Dr. William P. Blanton.) Doc Rude wore a bright net-and-yarn wig strongly suggest- ing the “Boy With Green Hair.” Lions adopted lovely lavender ‘ongies intended as purple, with which they wore gallons of war paint, presumably as beastmen of ‘he jungle. The cultural touch was provided by addition of the Lions Club in- signia, in gold, applied to that por- tion of the costume known in Pa- risian fashion circles as the derriere. Spectacular is the word for the Rotary cheer leader. This bouncy, well-developed sweater girl with the yellow pigtails added two-gun sount offects to the cheers, later played in (ybu should excuse the expres- sion) “the game,” and was dis- closed to be Dr. C. Earl Albrecht. Among the identifiable players were Rotary President Bob Aker- vick, who added the imaginative souch of a picture hat to his cos tume; beauteous Joe Werner, his features hidden under bright curis and behind an exaggerated turned- up nose; Captains Earl Forsythe (Lions) and Stan Grummett (Ro- tary) in comparatively modest at- tire, both sending in substitution: like mad; Dr. William Whitehead and Elton Engstrom, who. played darned good ball—oh, it goes on ike that. 4 A “briefing” for the game would g0 like this, with the players de- ciding when the periods were over Referee Peter Wood in disguise takes his stand. After huddles and horseplay, game starts. Both team: olay basketball (yes!) for almost & minute.

(He return: shortly to play for the Lions.) “We need a referee,” both team: shout, and draft Dade Nickel, whose pants come off in another melee to show that he was wearing the Lions’ colors underneath all the dme. For three minutes, both team: play basketball. And they do play! Time out. Players drop exhaustec to the floor, being careful to do sc in straight lines. Armed with cam- eras and flashguns, a battery of photographers goes to work, as they do all through the game. They arc J. Malcolm Greany, William Wood Dr. Richard Williams, Mrs. Ear Forsythe, A. N. (Gil) Eide and J W. Leivers. About now, another basketball it rossed out so that players can shoo for both baskets at the same time. Substitutes appear from all direc- tions and someone—certainly not an official—sounds the end of the quarter. Each quarter has at least. two minutes of really good ball. In the second guarter, Rotarian Vern Met- calfe drops to the floor as though injured, and is attended by a pro- cession of medicos, including Ki- wanian John Clements, trailed by Mortician Charles W.

Stassen thinks that something serious” has happened to Joseph Stalin. In a talk to young Republicans here last night Stassen commented on a recent report of a “faked” pic- ture of Stalin used in Soviet Rus- sia’s last election. Stassen said he saw Stalin on his visit to Russia within the last year and that he knew the election pic- ture put out by the Kremlin was “at least ten years old.” “I know Stalin would have voted if he could,” Stassen said, “And it he did vote there seems to be nd reason for putting out that pic- COURT TO OPEN IN KETCHIKAN TUESDAY FOR 3 - WEEK TERM District Judge George W.

Court was adjourned here yester- day sine die—without a formal pening date set for the next term. The jury panel was dismissed as court closed. Leaving with the judge tomorrow wre J. W. Leivers, clerk of the court, M. William Krasilovsky, court re- sorter, and Marie Jensen, deputy clerk. The March term of court in the first city will last about three weeks it was believed, with no criminal natters on the docket. "MUMPS TEAM" ENDS SECOND YEAR'S WORK The second year of a “one shot for life” mumps vaccine experimented vith in Southeast Alaska communi- (ies was completed today, as a Phil- wdelphia doctor and bacteriologist ook off for home to survey their findings. The “mumps team” have been here several months, conducting ex- their new “spray vaccine” which is hoped to give life- long immunity. Isolated Alaskan towns were chosen for the trials be- cause perfect “control” may be had for medical purposes. Dr. Winslow J. Bashe, Jr, and George R. Hunt, Jr., bacteriologist, spent their last few days in Alaska at the Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital for some last-minute laboratory work before leaving for the east. Their surveys were made with the cooperation of the Alaska Depart- ment of Health and the Alaska Na- tive Service. Vaccine being tried out is a spray type rather than the vaccination type used for years. In one test begun last year, stu- ients of Sheldon-Jackson School in Sitka who had been spray-vacci- nated did not have one case of mumps, even while the city itself en- dured one of the worst epidemics ot the disease known to ay Alaskan | community. Of 25 new students admitted who had not been previously vaccinated, 35 percent contracted the disease Final laboratory work must be completed before any accurate esti- mate can be made if the new spray will guarantee life-long immunity. ALL-YEAR ROUTE ON HAINES HIGHWAY IS PUSHED IN CANADA A campaign to keep the 160-mile Haines Cutoff open throughout the year has hit the Canadian Parlia- ment in Ottawa full blast, and fact-packed plea has been put in the hands of the Dominion's Min- ister of National Defense, who has charge of the Alaska Highway and its spurs. Not only are Western Canada’s members of Parliament pressing for funds to keep the vital link be- tween Southeast Alaska and the Yukon cleared, but private agencies are in the picture as well. Importance of the route looms large to Canada now that the Alaska Road Commission will soon complete its spur connecting Daw- son with the outside world, over which two-way traffic would pour gold from the historic Klondike post while supplies go northward throughout the Territory. Not only would Canada's economy be benefitted, but freight into In- terior Alaska could be moved at & 30 to 50 percent reduction in cost. These facts are brought out in & comprehensive report sent Brooke Claxton, the Defense Minister, by E. T. Applewhaite, member of Par- liament from the Skeena District »f which Prince Rupert is the cen~ ter. Aubrey Simmons, M.P. from ‘Whitehorse, is working with Apple- whaite to push the project into ac- ceptance. Informative statistics were fur- nished the Skeena parliamentarian by the Alaska Development Board to show what a year-round road would mean to both southeast ana western Alaska. Co-op Plan Tried Attempts were made to keep the road open when it first was buils, Alaska Freight Lines pleaded with the Canadian government to allow them to work a cooperative plan 50 they could move cargoes by barge from the south and transter it tc trucks waiting at Haines. But Can- ada had no money for the purpose So the large freighting company located at Valdez, and this wintef worked its coop plan with the road commission to keep traffic moving The money and manpower needec to keep Thompson Pass out ol Valdez open will be itemized for pre sentation to Canadian road officials by June 1, according to Col. John R. Noyes, commission head. Chilkat Pass, the obstacle on the Haines route, is higher than Thomp- son Pass, but comparative costs may be figured easily. Colonel Noye must wait, of course, until the winte: |is over before he can gather the figures together. Winter travel over the Alask: Highway itself was once looked upon as “impossible,” but today more thar 40 percent of the years freight moves at that time. A comparable move- ment may be forecast over the Haines Cutoff, says the report. The armed forces of both naticn are intensely interested in seein: the Cutoff free all year, thus assur ing a large volume of movement Cheaper Route Alaska markets waiting to be tap ped would provide a year-round flov sver the road, as this route is botl cheaper and faster than the mos attractive alternative—the Alaske Railroad out of Seward. Shipping costs to Prince Ruper from eastern American points arc the same as they are to Seattle, ye the Canadian port is 600 mile nearer the market. A rate survey showed that of 8 items commonly shipped, 85 showe. Rupert gave from 15 percent to 25 percent less cost than if shipped the other route. From the Canadian standpoint statehood for Alaska would, by erasing the Jones Act, bring tre- mendous increases in trade to the Dominion, the report claims.

Vrtkins i WASHINGTON, March 25—4)—| If the Senate Initerior Committee | decides to give consideration t| bills granting statehood to Al-| iska and Hawail, a hearing may | tart in about ten days. Chairman O’Mahoney (D-Wyo) notified committee members yes- terday he will ask them to de- rmine Monday “a course of ac- tion” on the two bills, already; passed by the House. Both Delegate Farrington of Ha- wail and Gov. Ernest Gruening of Aleska have submitted to O honey a long list of suggested wit- nesses. Secretary Chapman of the In- terior Department has asked per- mission to state the “general po- sition of the Administration” in favor of the bills. He asked that the hearing, held, be set for an early date. Gruening told O'Mahoney in a letter that he also wants an early hearing. “We fully recognize,” he wrote, “that the opponents will use the strategy of delay to the utmost extent in the committee.” Gruening said Alaskan witnesses can get here in a week and “even can make it in three days, if nec- essary.” He said now 1s a good| time for a hearing since fishing, and mining activities will not start until next month. Gruening proposed the names of 20 persons as witnesses In favor of statehood for Alaska. Farrington said witnesses from Hawaii could be here in a week. . “These witnesses will be.in.a. po- sition,” he told O'Mahoney * to inform the committee on all phases of the question of whether Hawaii should be admitted to the union as a state at this time.” The Hawaii Delegate submitted a list of 27 suggested witnesses who he said could answer any questions | that might be raised by committee members. “The length of the hearings, therefore,” he said, “will be deter- mined entirely by the wishes of the members of your committee.” "SNOW CORNICE" T0 BAFFIN ISLAND FOR FLIER MAURICE KING In the long-range program of| zlacial research and accumulation | f standard meteorological data 1bout Seward and Malaspina Gla-| ciers, instruments are continuing he work begun by scientists in{ 1948 and '49. Those activities of Project “Snow Cornice” of the Arctic Institute of Jorth America held great interest ‘or Alaskans, as well as for scien- ists all over the world. Led by Walter A, Wood, director f United States activities of the, Arctic Institute, the project per- onnel of 21 men included his “op- Josite number” representing Can- «da, P. D. Baird. | Wood has just completed the 1950 spring check on conditions at he semi-permanent station on Seward Glacier (5,700 feet). He and | 1s son, Peter H. Wood, meteorology mnd botany, have gone outside, but! Maurice King, pilot in charge of air »perations, is in Juneau to get the [nstitute’s airplane in shape for ummer expedition on the Canadia: side. At the glacier base, King and the Woods dug down to last year's leve! f hard ice, checked the instruments nd measured the snowfall. About 12 feet has accumulated since the Jsarty left September 1. Other find- ‘ngs will be reported in Arctic, the [nstitute publication. In its work both previous sea- sons, Project “Snow Cornice” was; entirely dependent upon airborne sperations, most of them made by King with the Institute’s sturdy Norseman aircraft. Equipped with combination ski- wheels for operations on both snow and surfaced runways—gear that starts the load with an additional 300 pounds—the Norseman made the first landing June 30, 1948, to estab- lish a temporary reconnaissance camp beneath the towering cliffs ot Mt. Vancouver (15720 feet). After that, the famed Alaska bush pilot operated a regular “milk run,” | transporting the expedition per- if ) | sence of FWS employees at { this service, and at the time of his ' difficulties it presented or the per- | @ (Pust 24 nours ending 7:30 & m. toaas SILVER MEDAL FOR 0'CONNCR HONORS | LONG FWS SERVICE Jack O'Connor was honored by | the Interior Department with =n| presentation of a citation and silver medal for meritorious service here yesterday. Clarence J. Rhode, regional di-| rector of the Fish and Wildlife Service, made the award in the pre- the Federal building. In his intormal| speech Rhode recalled how O'Con-! nor got him into the service four-! teen years ago, broke him in, and | told of some of the game law en- forcement cases they had worked on together. | O'Connor retired from the depart- ment last June after 19 years serv- ice. The citation, dated Dec. 16 1949, and signed by Oscar L. Chap- man, Secretary of the Interior, reads: . “O’Connor’s first connection with the Department was in 1918 when he served as a temporary tisheries warden in Alaska for a few months. It was not until July 1, 1930, that he started on a period of continuous employment with the Fish and| Wildlife Service as an Alaska game warden with the Alaska Game Com- mission, now an integral part of retirement on June 30, 1949, he was! serving as a law enforcement agent. ““As senior officer of the service" enforcement group in Alaska, O'Connor trained many agents, and was probably the most widely known employee in that region. Through-| out his career, his job was always! first, and he made many personal. sacrifices and even refused to take earned leave in order to carry on; the almost monumental task of en- forcing regulations in areas several times as large as most of the states “As a ploneer in the conservation movement, he found it necessary to travel great distances by foot and| by dogsled under Arctic conditions. When airplanes began to take the place of dogteam transportation for enforcement activities, he was one of the first to proclaim their advan tages and has flown thousands of miles over the Territory in pur- suance of his duties. “He never questioned or retused an assignment, regardless of the sonal risks it involved. In spite of the nature of his law enforcement | duties, O’Connor held the respect and won the cooperation of hun:- ers, trappers, and the general popu- lation of Alaska. For his outstand- ing work in the field of conservation law enforcement in Alaska, he is highly deserving of the Meritorious Service Award of the Department.” O’Connor is a resident of Juneau and president of the Territorial Sportsmen, Inc.

The Lathrop Company had been asked by the government to tese tity and produce records. The motion to quash the sub- poenas was granted by District Judge Antiiony Dimond later yes- terday. Attorneys contended the sub- poenas were void and “make no de- mand to produce any document or object, if such is desired.” That motion was the only one read in court, after which Judge Dimond granted the motion to quash, Two other motions, attached to the court records, stated that “no person was designated to give testimony on behalf of the Lath- rop Company, and the demand— if it be a demand—is unreasonable, TWO KILLED WHEN SPEEDER CRASHES INTO ALASKA TRAIN ANCHORAGE, Alaska, March 25 —(M—A rail speeder pulling three trailers loaded with construction workers and an empty Alaska Rail- road passenger train crashed on a blind curve late yesterday, killing two of the work crew. Five others were critically hurt and nine escaped with minor injuries. The Morrison Knudsen Construc- tion Co., identified the dead as Wesley Benzien, 40, whose address was listed as care of H. A. Benzlen, Columbia Falls, Mont., and Pat- rick O’'Brien, 45, a driller who ar- rived from the states about two weeks ago (hometown unavailable). Critically injured were Thomas Golden, 50, Anchorage; Hilton Duke, whose brother lives at Mountain View, Alaska; Joseph Misyencia, 31, of Brooklyn, N.Y.; Nels Pitskoa, 52, Sepnard, a suburb of Anchorage; and George Duchon, 52, Wallace, | Idaho. Hospitalized with lesser injuries were Peter J. Valentine, 31, Moun- tain View; John T. Anton, 38, Drake, N.D.; Fred Kizman, 30, Anchorage; Daniel Wheeler, 26, Noatak, Alaska: Carl Larson, about 50, Seattle; Artis Headrick, 33, Anchorage; Tavrell Andreoni, 51, (hometown unavail- able); Harold F. Rathgeb, 36, Pal- mer, Alaska, and crew. foreman, Burton Waters, 35, Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Several others escaped unscathed when they jumped from the speeder after the driver set his brakgs and shouted a warning. The gas speeder was taking the men back to camp at the end of their day’s work. ‘The passenger train was enrou‘e to Seward with empty cars to pick up passengers debarking from the Baranof. Fireman Lester Sherift first saw the speeder as the loco- motive rounded the bling curve and yelled to engineer J. M. Desico ‘Plug her!” Desico slammed on the emergency brakes but could not halt his train in time. The dead and injured were quickly loaded aboard the train, which backed all the way to Anchorage where six ambulances were waiting. STEAMER MOVEMENTS Denali from Seattle due to ar- rive Tuesday.
