Chicago REPORTER ON LIFE MAGAZINE IS HERE FOR ALASKA STORY On a “recon” trip for a compre- hensive feature about Alaska, Mis Ruth Adams, reporter for Life | Magazine, is in Juneau until Sun- |dfly. “We want a good story on the general economy of Alaska and the defense situation,” Miss Adams said today. “It should be partic- ularly timely in view of the state- {hood question” The New Yorker will go to An- chorage and Fairbanks before be- ling joined by one of Life’s top- bracket photographers.

How soon can readers expect to see the Life feature? Normally, it will be used as soon as there iIs a month or so after the staffers return to New York. However, should there be a big 'news break on Alaska, the story {could close in five days—even one |day if it were really hot, | Barring such a news break, the | Alaska feature is planned as an | essay, according to the reporter. ; “I've had the Alaska story on my mind for a year,” she said. “But since I suggested it, I spent |eight months on that big mid- \century edition we did, and I've | just finished a story in Nevada.” | While Miss Adams is an exper- |ienced reporter, the Alaska feature | probably will not be in her own ;wn'ls. She will bring in the ma- | terial and plan the story, which |staff members in New York will |assemble and write. Meantime, she will be off on another assign- \ment—and it may be anywhere in |the world. | Miss Adams has been on the |staff of Life Magazine for about ifive years in all, starting in 1942 |but not working for several years. L85 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA » her first position after college, was in the Wasliington, D. C. office of Sen. Sheridan“Downey of California. Miss Adams was born in Chicago and lived in Calif- ornia before going to Vassar Col- lege, where she majored in econ- omics, In Juneau, Miss Adams is en- joying visits with Dr. and Mrs Robert Simpson, parents of one of her close friends in New York. She had met them both in Los Angeles. Miss Annabelle Simpson, then on the staff of Time, Inc., helped her out on the mid-century edition of | Life, for which Miss Adams ran the reporting end. They worked together three months on the spe- cial edition, then Miss Simpson | went to California, where her fa- ther was convalescing from a ser- | ious illness, A | Six weeks ago, the Juneau young woman went back to New York and now is a permanent member of the foreign news department staff oa| Life. Miss Simpson is occupying Miss Adams’ apartment on 95th Street while she is away. CHANGES PROPOSED IN AVIATION SET-UP BY HOUSE MEMBERS Recommended changes in the ad- | ministrative setup of the Alaska De- partment of Aviation were revealed today in a report made by an inves- | tigating committee of the Territorial House of Representatives. | Two members of the investigation | group delved into departmental ac- | tivities following the furor raised | by the payment of $5,600 to Attor- ney Stanley McCutcheon of An- chorage for legal services in regard | to the department’s acquisition oli several airport sites. Three changes are recommended by the committee, composed of Representative Marcus F. Jensen, of Douglas and Representative War- | ren A. Taylor of Fairbanks. Chair- | man Glen Franklin, also:of Fair-| banks, was unable to attend the investigation because of business. In a letter to George Schwamm, director of the Aviation Depart- ment, which accompanied the com- mittee’s report, Jensen said: “Irregularities” “We have not gone into a detailed report of every function of the de- partment, as we feel this is the duty of the commission itself. (The commission is composed of four men in the Territory.) We do feel, how- ever, that because of certain seem- ing irregularities, the commission and director should protect them- selves by taking some action on the recommendations offered in this report.” Here are the three recommenda- tions: 1. That legislation be enacted al- lowing the commission to elect its own chairman. (Present chairman is the governor, although Iegislation is vague on.the matter.) 2. That all contract awards be AL I I I 3 i \ and ‘cloth whisks away dirt, grease, jam and spots Flexalum slum sluminum slats sre. spring-| 1o keep their shape.

That accounting methods pre- scribed by the Civil Aeronautics Ad- ministration be set up by the direc- tor as soon as it can be done. It is urgent that these books of account be set up by the director and that he be furnished the necessary forms for reports to the CAA. Would Check on Awards The second proposal concerning awards of contracts springs from the question which arose over Schwamm’s giving McCutcheon power to act as attorney for the department, and the subsequent fee charged for services. Attorney General J. Gerald Wil- liams said his office was unable to do the work needed, but later said he volunteered his office’s services at the time Schwamm called for legal help. Williams ~explained that Mc- Cutcheon’s fee would be paid by the CAA to the extent of 756 percent under the Federal Aid to Airports Act, with 25 percent to be stood by the Territory. He said his costs would have been far higher if he or an assistant had done the work. The proposal that all awards be made after advice has been obtained would eliminate situations putting the department under future fire, Jensen believed. No comment. was forthcoming from Schwamm immediately, al- though it was expected his reaction to the proposals would be forthcom- ing shortly. It has been sent to all members of the commission—Shel- don Simmons of Juneau, William L. Lavery of Fairbanks, Neal K. Foster of Nome, and Jack Carr of An- chorage. Carr is also secretary to the department, which has head- quarters in Anchorage. HUSKES, BEARS N CREW RACE ON SAT. BERKELEY, Calif, May 19—® —Neither team will win or lose the ‘Washington-California crew race -‘tomcrrow. That’s about the only conclusion jone can reach after talking to Coach Al Ulbrickson of the Uni- versity of Washington Huskies and | Coach Ky Ebright of the University | of California Bears. | Their double-talk predictions run | something like this: | Ulbrickson — “Bad weather up |north hurt our practices. Then, too, the varsity isn't as stable as the |boat that lost to California last year.” | Ebright — “Washington looks | very good from what I've seen ot the | varsity. You know, it’s the years | when they have the most trouble |with the weather that they beat {us by the most lengths.” ' SECOND BASEMAN WITEK SIGNED UP, SEATTLE RAINIERS SEATTLE, May 14—P—Seattle’s Rainiers continued their rebuilding program today with the acquisition of second baseman Joseph “Mickey” ‘Witek.
