Air Force Defends Manual
For Officers’ Aides
WASHINGTON, UP) — That Air
Force manual which told how to
wash an officer’s dog cost $5,
570.71 to produce.
The Air Force also said a master
sergeant writer and three civi
linas had worked on it — the
sergeant for 180 days, a typist
30 days, and an illustrator and
editor 10 days each.
The manual, among other infor
mation for officers’ aides, had
rules for mixing drinks, shining
shoes, and making beds. It has
been withdrawn. Nevertheless, the
Air Force defended it in the re
port it submitted yesterday to a
House Appropriations Subcom
mittee.
It said information from the
manual had been “taken out of
context and misconstrued.
“The fact that certain tasks or
procedures were included in the
manual does not indicate that
such duties were to be performed
regularly by the airman aide as
a routine part of his duty,” it
added. “However, such tasks
might justifiably be required of
the aide upon occasion. . . .
“Further, such information
would be useful to those airman
aides who had responsiblity for
supervising domestic help fre
quently indigenous, in overseas
areas in the officer’s household.”
First Son Born to Princess
Michiko of Japan; Becomes
2nd In Line for Throne
TOKYO, UP) — Princess Michiko
gave birth yesterday to a healthy,
5-pound, 9-ounce son who became
second in the line of succession
to the Japanese throne.
The baby is the first child born
to Crown Prince Akihito and the
daughter of the commoner flour
manufacturer he married last
April 10.
The birth had not been expected
for another week. It came four
days after a second son was born
to Queen Elizabeth II of Britain.
Akihito, eldest son of Emperor
Hirihito and Empress Nagako, is
26. Michiko is 25.
An announcement said both
mother and child were well.
The young father, in accordance
with tradition, waited at his home
5 miles from the hospital. At news
of the birth, he rushed to the
hospital to see his son and his
wife.
Meanwhile, the first traditional
ceremony for the infant had
taken place. A samurai sword
was presented to the baby as a
symbol of his duty to defend the
nation.
THUMBS DOWN ON LATIN
OXFORD, England, UP) — With
approving Latin murmurs of “pla
cet”—it pleases — Oxford Uni
versity’s parliament last night
| abolished a requirement that all
entrants must know Latin. The
vote was 290-111.
The congregation, Oxford’s rul
ing body, did not bury the dead
language. Latin or Greek will still
be required of Arts students. But
new students in other fields can
enroll if they meet a certain stan
dard in science or mathematics.

Group Gives Fast
OK to Ice Classic
JUNEAU, l/P) — A bill restricted
to the legalization of the Nenana
and Chena Ice Classics, and spon
sored by Sens. Ralph Moody, Sen
ate Majority Leader, and chair
man of the Judiciary Committee,
and John Coghill, quickly won a
“do pass” recommendation from
the Finance Committee Tuesday.
The committee’s endorsement
came on a 3-1 vote, with Sen.
Seaborn J. Buckalew in the mi
nority. Said Buckalew:
“The Judiciary Committee gave
this its careful and learned study,
lasting about 40 seconds.”
Moody replied the question of
non-profit gambling legislation
has been under consideration for
more than a week and said, “Sen.
Buckalew was not taken by
surprise.”
Buckalew also voted against an
earlier bill which would have
sanctioned a variety of raffles and
lotteries sponsored by civic, re
ligious or fraternal organizations.
This measure, passed in slightly
different forms by both the House
and Senate, still is being studied
by a joint conference committee.
The new bill would require the
sponsors of the Nenana Ice Clas
sic and the smaller Fairbanks lot
tery of the Chena River to regis
ter with the State Commissioner
of Revenue and to make annual
financial reports.
Coghill said he felt last Friday’s
seizure of Nenana Ice Classic
tickets at Juneau had spurred the
Legislature to action. The tickets
were confiscated after a minister
made a complaint the ice pool
was illegal under existing Alaska
laws.

At the hospital, doctors ordered
