Pravada Ridicules Idea
Of Western Assurances
Of Non-Aggressive Intent
MOSCOW, W) — The Commun
ist party newspaper Pravda ridi
culed today the idea of non-ag
gression guarantees from the
western powers aimed at insuring
the security of Europe and the
Soviet Union.
The implication was clear that
Russia takes an extremely dim
view of such guarantees viewing
them as little more than a baited
trap. Thus it seems there is vir
tually no chance of the Soviet
Union entertaining such proposals
from any of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization powers.

I Beta Sigma Phi
By CAROLINE READER
Beta Sigma Phis met last
Thursday at Bev Morgan’s home.
With the repeating of the opening
ritual the meeting began. After
much pro and con discussion, the
girls voted to adopt a budget sys
tem for the first half of the year
whereby we estimate our total
expenses for the year and try to
raise money to cover these ex
penses which will eliminate dig
ging into our own pockets or our
husband’s pockets. First project
coming up is our box social for
members and guests. We are
stressing attendance at our af
fairs and if a girl does not plan
to attend she must send her bas
ket which some of the guests can
take care of. We are trying the
budget system for part of the
year to test its efficacy.
Maybelle Lennert will repres
ent our chapter this year in the
Valentine Contest sponsored by
Beta Sigma Phi. Any sorority
girl may send in a large glossy
picture and realize the possibility
of becoming Valentine Girl of the
year with her picture on the cov
er of the February “Torch,” our
magazine.
Bev, Harriet and Vivian suc
cessfully completed their pledge
work last week and are now
ready to receive their Ritual of
Jewels Degree which will make
them full members in Beta Sigma
Phi. This formal affair will take
place Thursday evening in the
home of Terry Jackson.
We are happy to have Rita
Harper back with us again. We
missed her presence at our meet
ings as well as her helpful advice
and assistance. Nellie Sindalar
honored us by attending our
meeting. Unusual guest of the
evening was “Sharky” (Rita’s
cocker spaniel).
The cultural program was lea
by Omie and true to her profes
sion we were given a test that
proved how attentive we were to
last meeting’s program. Then a
number of the girls discussed
quotations of Plato, Confucius,
William Lyon Phelps, Boris So
kolov and others. We also tried a
little self-analysis and discussed
the qualities necessary in order
to take an impersonal view of
ourselves. Caroline gave a talk
on using a library and the help
fullness of the card catalog in
locating material. The Dewey
Decimal System of classifying
books was briefly described.
Vivian and Ruth Ray served
individual pies to each girl which
were a treat, and by 11:30 p.m.
everyone was wending her way
j home.

> WASHINGTON, UPi— Chairman
Butler (R-Neb) and Sen. Cordon
(R-Ore) of the Senate Interior
Committee told Interior Depart
ment officials Friday that state
hood for Alaska largely depends
on working out the territory’s land
problems.
Both senators were quoted as
urging action to pave the way for
release of public lands for private
development to accelerate settle
ment of the territory.
Butler and Cordon met with
Under-Secretary Ralph A. Tudor,
Assistant Secretary Orrae Lewis
and Director William C. Strand of
the Office of Territories and Gov.
B. Frank Heintzleman of Alaska.
Secretary McKay attended the
meeting briefly.
Heintzleman and Cordon point
ed to land problems as one of the
greatest obstacles to Alaskan de
velopment.
The department said later m a
news release:
“There is no hope for Alaska
until we release some of the land,”
Cordon was quoted. “I want state
hood for Alaska, but I want state
hood to work up there, too, and
we’ll have to take off some of the
restrictions to make it work.”
Butler was described as having
“echoed Sen. Cordon’s views on
statehood.”
“Alaska must become a state,
but it would be a mistake to place
it on its own before it is ready,”
Butler said. “I am for doing ev
erything we possibly can to get
the territory ready.”
Heintzleman described the land
situation in the territory as “ter
rible” and said some people wait
10 to 12 years for surveys and
patents. He said there were not
enough Bureau of Land Manage
ment employes in Alaska to han
dle the work load.
Butler said “It is the responsi
bility of the federal government
to speed up these surveys and get
the lands into individual owner
ship. '
He also said legislation which
would permit Alaska miners to
sell gold at the world price would
stimulate the territory’s growth.
Mr. Dum: “Since I bought a
new car I don’t have to walk to
the bank to make my deposits.”
Mr. Dee: “Now you drive over?”
Mr. Dum: “No, I just don’t make
any.”
