Antarctic Holds
Treasure of Drugs
To Be Tapped
WASHINGTON UP) — The Ant
arctic may hold a treasure of
wonder drugs, waiting to be tap
ped.
This is the view of Dr. Albert
Crary of the National Science
Foundation.
One of the nation’s foremost
Polar scientists, Crary is fresh
ly returned from long term serv
ice in the cold lands.
In a talk Wednesday to the
foundation’s headquarters staff,
Crary said the possibility that the
Antarctic holds an antibiotic
treasure is suggested by the fol
lowing:
“We have found that animals
in the Antarctic are relatively
free of bacteria, and it has been
suggested that this may be due
to the possible presence of anti
biotics in algae plants there. This
should be followed up.”
Algae are tiny fungus-like
plants that grow in the sea or on
moist ground, and often occur as
scum atop millponds and other
quiet waters of the world. Some
are edible.
Crary, chief scientist of the
U. S. Antarctic program, declared
that of all the scientific disci
plines represented in the Antarc
tic “biology is the most abused
and under-rated” in terms of
getting financial support and at
tracting specialists.
That the Antarctic offers a rich
field for biological research is
not generally appreciated, he in
dicated.
Crary threw cold water on
theories that the Antarctic might
would hold rich and economically
minerable mineral treasures.
“U n 1 e s s something startling
comes to light which is not now
evident,” he said, “I don’t think
any commercial uses will de
velop from the geology of the
Antarctic.”

Application for Petition Filed to Bring
\\ ide-Open Gambling to State of Alaska
JUNEAU UP) — An application
for an initiative petition to bring
wide-open gambling to the State
of Alaska was filed with Secre
tary of State Hugh J. Wade yes
terday.
The application was filed by an
organization calling itself the
Alaska Citizens Economic Study
Group. The organization’s head
quarters was listed as 407 Denali
St., Anchorage.
The application was accom
panied by the signatures of 147
persons, including three sponsors.
The sponsors were listed as
Harold E. DeRoux, Juneau; Julian
Rice, Fairbanks; and Clinton
Sharp, Anchorage.
As required by law, a copy of
the proposed gambling statute,
a 32-page document, also accom
panied the application.
Under the law, Wade is re
quired to determine (1) if the ini
tiative application is in proper
form, (2) if the proposed statute
is in proper legal form and <3>
if there are the proper number
of qualified sponsors.
Wade said if he finds that all
conditions have been met, he will
prepare the actual initiative peti
tion. This work, he said, will prob
ably take another 10-14 days.
If the initiative petitions are
authorized, the sponsors of the
proposed gambling bill must ob
tain the signatures of 6,217 quali
fied voters to win a spot for the
initiative on the primary elec
tion ballot in 1962.
The supporting signatures must
come from at least 16 of the
state’s 24 election districts.
Under the terms of the proposed
gambling statute, all gambling
in the state would come under the
jurisdiction of a three-member
Alaska State Gaming Control
Board.
Members of the board would
be appointed by the governor, for
four-year terms. One of the board
members would be required to be
a member of the First District.
The other two members would
be selected from the other three
districts.
Members of the board would
serve full time, at an annual

salary of $15,000. They could not
have a financial interest in any
gambling venture and they could
not engage in political activity.
The proposed statute provides
for both quarterly and annual
licenses. The quarterly fee would
be based on gross revenue and
would range from 3 per cent to
5Vz per cent.
The annual license fee would
be based on the number of gamb
1 ling devices or gambling games
1 each establishment operates.
The Gaming Control Board
would have full powers to deny
a gambling license “for any
, cause deemed reasonable by the
! board.”
The proposed law defines a
j gambling game as any “banking
! or percentage game played with
! cards, dice, or any mechanical de
! vice or machine, or money,
property, checks, credit, or any
representative of value, includ
ing, without limiting the general
ity of the foregoing, faro, monte,
roulette, keno, fan-tan, 21, black
I jack, seven-and-a-half, big-injun,
klondyke, crap, stud poker, draw
; poker, or slot machines, but shall
not include social games played
1 in private homes, or residences,
for prizes, or coin-operated mer
! chandizing machines.”
A gaming device was defined
| as “any mechanical contrivance
or machine used in connection
j with gaming or any game, but
j shall not be construed to mean
I any coin-operated contrivance or
j machine.”
