ANB UPSETS CAA-ACS
HOOPSTERS IN LIVELY
TILT TUESDAY NIGHT
In the most spirited contest of
the year, the ANB basketball
squad defeated' the ACS-CAA
team 51-48, by coming back in the
last quarter to overcome the los
ers with a definite team effort.
In the first game of the evening,
the National Guard knocked the
Polar Hornets off by the count
of 78-30.
Billy Caldwell and the Bell
Brothers, David, John and Aaron,
poured in the points against the
losing Hornets, to make a rout
of it. Caldwell hit for seventeen,
as did Aaron Bell. The Bells, Dave
and John, hit for fourteen. Top
man in the losing effort of the
Hornets was Dale Boehler, with
ten scores.
Marsden and Zweigle led in the
scoring column for the losing ACS
CAA five with 15 counters each,
while Frank Austin followed with
twelve as he turned in his usual
fine floor game.
Pete Larsen led the winning
ANB squad with seventeen points,
followed by Captain Harold Bell,
with twelve, and Gary Longley
with ten.
Without doubt, the tilt was one
of the better of the season, as the
winners came from behind late in
the contest to upend the once
leading ACS-CAA quintet. The
crowd was especially vociferous in
their admiration for the hard play
and winning effort of coming from
■behind by the ANB squad.
On Tuesday next the “B” squad
of the girls’ High School team
will meet the Alumni Girls and
the Bartenders five will vie with
the Junior Varsity of the High
School.
Bartlett Predicts 49-Star
Flag Soon to be Outdated
JUNEAU, UP) — The 49-star flag
won’t be in fashion long, a senator
from the newest state predicted
last night.
“The flag makers had better
not make too many 49-star flags,”
said Senator Bob Bartlett. “They
are going to be out of date soon.”
He predicted the Hawaiian
statehood bill now before Con- j
gress would be approved by the
House by late this month or early
March, and would be passed by
the Senate “porbably before the
end of March.”
If so, a new 50-star flag would
have to be approved.
President Eisenhower set the de
sign for the 49-star flag on Jan
uary 3, when he proclaimed Alas
ka’s admission to the union. But
the flag doesn’t become official
until July 4.
Bartlett, on his first trip back
to Alaska since being sworn into
the Senate last month, said he
was confident the Hawaii bill
would be quickly approved.

JAPANESE ARE WIPING OUT
ALASKA SALMON RUN
BELLINGHAM, Wash., UP) —
The Japanese are “wiping out the
northern Alaska salmon run,”
says Elmer Bennett, Undersecre
tary of the Interior.
They are remaining on their
side of the treaty line, he said,
but have so much equipment they
are taking nearly all the salmon.
Bennett, here to speak at a Lin
coln Day banquet, reiterated that
the Interior Department is consid
ering closing Bristol Bay to all
fishing to preserve the salmon!
run.
Wade Signs
Legislators’ Pay
Bill, With Doubts
(Continued from Page One)
could well have been used in con
sidering needed implementing
legislation for the new state gov
ernment.”
“In accordance with long Amer
ican tradition, the executive does
not seek to dictate the compensa
tion of the legislators, members
of a coordinate branch of govern
ment, by exercise of the veto
power,” he said.
The acting Governor said his
“expressed and sole concern is for
public finance rather than with
salary or per diem figures as such.
The Legislature, Wade said, is “in
the final analysis answerable only
to the public on the question of
legislative compensation.”
The bills were sent to Wade
yesterday, after a quick Senate
passage, amid reports he might
veto one or the other of the meas
ures.
Wade had returned to the Legis
lature last week another pay bill
containing the same pay rates. At
the time he returned the original
bill, on grounds it was legally de
fective, Wade urged the legislators
to reconsider the proposed pay
rates on the basis of the new
state’s ability to pay.
But the new legislation took no
heed of Wade’s request.
It appeared the acting Gover
nor's veto, had he chosen to exer
cise it, would have been over
ridden. The House voted 29-9 in
favor of the bill setting the rate
of pay, and the Senate, 12-8. The
Alaska Constitution require a
two-thirds vote of a joint session
of the Legislature to override a
veto.
If f ach legislator had held to
his original pay bill stand when
the question of a veto came up,
the result would have been a 41-17
plurality — more than the two
thirds required to override.

Monitors Given Broad
Powers Over Teamsters
WASHINGTON, ltf> — Court
named monitors, armed with stiff
new powers, are planning a re
newed cleanup drive for the giant
Teamsters Union.
U. S. District Judge Dickinson
Letts formally issued a long de
layed order Monday night giving
the monitors power to compel any
“reasonable reforms on Team
sters boss James R. Hoffa and
fellow union chiefs.
Letts had delayed issuing the
order pending proceedings in the i
U. S. Court of Appeals to re- !
strain expansion of monitor
powers.
The appeals court refused to act
last week. Teamsters attorneys are
expected now to seek a stay on
the Letts’ order pending a new
court challenge.
Meanwhile, monitor chairman
Martin O’Donoghue said he and
his two colleagues plan to begin
pressing Hoffa and the Teamsters
to obey a score of more reform
orders.
The monitors also intend to dis
pose soon of a batch of new com
plaints against union administra
tion, under Hoffa.
One of the monitors’ recommen
dations, which they say Hoffa has
refused to obey, is to install fair
election practices throughout the
union.

Highest January Idle
Total in Eight Years
WASHINGTON, — Unem
ployment rose by 616,000 in Jan
uary to 4,724,000. It was the high
est number idle in any January
since 1950.
The monthly joint report of the
Commerce and Labor Depart
ments attributed the job decline
to seasonal factors such as release
of extra Christmas season workers
in stores and post offices, and fur
ther curtailment of outdoor work.
Some of these temporary work
ers were not looking for further
employment. Hence they were not
counted as among the unem
ployed.
The President of the United
States is Honorary President of
the Boy Scouts of America.
