Make Yourself Heard
A LETTER WAS received by the Nugget protesting
the sale of city property without bid; criticizing
. the city for not bonding the Utility officials; protesting
the way sales tax receipts are handled; urging better
control of use of liquor in hotel rooms.
All these things are important to the community,
and everyone is entitled to an opinion on how these
matters should be handled. The place to voice these
opinions is at the City Council meetings.
! A letter without a signature indicates that the
party or parties writing the letter lacks the courage
of his or her conviction. The merit the letter might
have, loses its value without a signature.
We urged tihat those interested should make them
selves heard at the next council'meeting on April 13th.
The City Council would appreciate help in their
deliberations.

Susan Hayward,
David Niven Cop
Moviedom Oscars
By JAMES BACON
HOLLYWOOD, —Susan Hay
ward, who once despaired of ever
winning an Oscar, got one Monday
night on her fifth try. David Ni
ven, who has been pleasing movie
audiences for 25 years now, was
similarly honored.
The Brooklyn-born redhead and
the debonair Scotsman won the
top Academy awards for acting
before an audience filled with
most of the big names in the en
tertainment industry. They shared
honors with the movie “Gigi,”
which won in every one of the
nine categories for which it was
nominated — including best pic
ture.
Burl Ives and the British ac
tress Wendy Hiller won Oscars
for best supporting performances.
More than 100 big names —
from Ingrid Bergman to Eddie
Fisher — gave a nationwide tele
vision audience an electronic peek
at Hollywood’s biggest night of the
yearC The acceptance speeches
were so short that the NBC-TV
show ended some 30 minutes be
fore its two-hour schedule.
Miss Hayward enacted the role
of murderess Barbara Graham in
“I Want to Live.”
While the picture was being
made, she told a reporter that
“after four disappointments I’m
no longer in the business for Os
cars. Just say that I do it now for
the money and the joy of doing
a good part.”
She admitted that Monday
night’s results have changed her
views considerably.
Niven won the top actor award
for playing a pathetic woman
molester in “Separate Tables.” It
was one of the few times in his
career that he did not play what
the trade calls “a David Niven
type.”
Ives, the 300-pound folk sing
er, took a night off from his show
at Las Vegas’ Flamingo Hotel to
pick up his Oscar. He played a
sort of western big daddy in “The
Big Country.”
Miss Hiller was not in town
to receive her award. Earlier she
told a reporter by long distance
from London that she couldn’t
understand how she ever got nom
inated. She played the lovelorn
hotel manager of “Separate
Tables.”
The fast pace of the proceed
ings, with the consequent time
left over, caught everyone off
guard. Emcee Jerry Lewis pan
icked apd tried some stalling tac
tics which appeared inept.
Nobody seemed to know whose
fault it was. Academy president
George Stevens merely remarked:
“The show went so smoothly that
we had time left over.”
He didn’t explain why perform
ers and winners were told to hur
ry up their parts during the per
formance.

Commissi oners’
Pay Bill Goes To
State Senate
JUNEAU, un — The House ap
proved by a 31-6 vote and sent
to the Senate yesterday, a bill to
set up a salary scale for the dozen
officials who will sit in the Gover
nor’s cabinet.
The salaries could range from
$12,000 for the Adjutant General
to $17,000 for seven other depart
ment heads but the Governor
could decide whether to pay each
one the full amount authorized.
Before taking final action, the
lower branch jumped the House
Finance Committee’s recommen
dation in the original bill of $11,
000 for the Adjutant General to
$12,000, and the proposed $12,000
for the Labor and Commerce
Commissioners to $14,000.
All the salaries would be larger
than those paid officials who held
the same or similar department
posts in the territorial govern
ment. Under the former scale of
pay, the officials drew a total of
$158,500 in salaries annually;
under the House-passed bill the
total would be $189,000 a year.

Wade Will Offer More
Appointments to State
Commission Posts
JUNEAU, Mt — Acting Gover
nor Hugh Wade said Monday he
would ask the Legislature to de
lay a joint session to confirm
Floyd Guertin of Juneau as Com
missioner of Administration so
that other appointments could be
acted on at the same time.
Wade said all pending nomina
tions were being cleared with
Governor Egan, who is still recu
perating at Seattle. He gave no
indication of- the posts he might
fill later in the week.
Rep. John Rader, the young
Democrat considered in the run
ning for appointment as state At
torney General, returned to the
Legislature after a weekend meet
ing with Egan at Seattle.
“It would be improper for me
to make a statement,” the An
chorage lowyer said in brushing
aside questions about the trip.
