Heintzleman Would Be Clad to
Serve on New Alaska International
Rail and Highway Commission
JUNEAU, UB—Gov. B. Frank!
Helntzleman said yesterday he
would “be delighted to serve and
would immediately accept" a po
sition on the Alaska International
Rail and Highway Commission.
However, Heintzleman said he
had not been asked either to serve
on or act as chairman of the 12
man commission authorized by an
act of Congress in August.
“The fact that my resignation
as governor was accepted yester
day (Wednesday) by President
Eisenhower," Helntzleman said,
“could very well lead to the as
sumption that I would be avail
able for duty with the commis
sion." He added:
“Any such assumption would
be correct, I would be delighted
to serve and would immediately
accept appointment to the com
mission. It may be that my iufme

tion. I don’t know. But I hope it
has.”
The 68-year-old Republican
said Tuesday he planned to spend
his “remaining active years” in
efforts to bring new industry to
Alaska.
The governor, who has spent
38 years in Alaska,' said he re
garded the proposed commission
as one of the major agencies thru
which Alaskan development can
be achieved.
So far, no one has been ap
pointed to the commission by the
President. Members from the ex
ecutive branch of the government
and three public members—of
which one must be a resident of
Alaska and another a resident of
the Pacific Northwest section of
the United States.
The law, sponsored by Senator
Magnuson (D-Wash\ calls for the
commission to study economic
and military advantages of addi
tional highway facilities and the
possibilities of railroad connec
tions linking the States with
Alaska, thru British Columbia.
“This is exactly the type of
work I’m looking for when I
leave office,” Heintzleman said.
The members of the commis
sion are to serve without pay.
Heintzleman said previously he
did not “want to get on anybody's j
payroll" after his retirement, but
wanted to “work for Alaska for
nothing.”

Strong Democrat Group
Considering Stevenson for
Senator From California
SAN FRANCISCO UP—'The San
Francisco Chronicle said yester
day “a powerful group in the
Democratic Party is considering
Adlai E. Stevenson as a possible
candidate in California for the
U.S. Senate.”
That, would mean running the
former Illinois governor against
incumbent William F. Knowland
in 1958.
In California one year’s resi
dence qualifies a person to seek
office.
“It is well known,” the Chron
icle said, “that some potent busi
ness leaders have been urging
the two-time Democratic presi
dential candidate to give up his
Chicago law practice and move to
California. 1
“He was born in Los Angeles.”
Assembly of God Church
Christmas Story Told
In Colorful Pageant at
Wednesday evening the Assem
bly of God Church presented
their Christmas program. All
agreed it was well presented.
The Christmas story' was por -
trayed by the adult members of
the congregation. Every scene was
well acted. Especially striking
was the scene announcing the
news to King Herod that a new
king was born.
The attractive costumes and
colored lights used throughout the
play added to the effectiveness
of the presentation.
Postman’s Lot Is Not
Happv One These Days
WASHINGTON, uP—The Post
Office, which has been worrying
over how to keep dogs from biting
mailmen, shifted attention today
to the hazards letter carriers face
on icy sidewalks.
Maurice H. Stans, acting post
master general, said a large per
centage of accidents suffered by
postmen occur on icy walks, steps
or stairways, and he added in a
statement:
‘Tee or snow-covered walks
or steps . . . should be cleaned as
promptly as possible or, ii that
is not feasible in time for the
mailman's visit, abrasive mater
ials—such as sand and as'.’ -f—
should be spread over slippery
walkways and steps . . ."

MIN'EOLA. N.Y.. —Pos'man
Edward Serven. 42, said in a su
preme court action yesterday that
the same dog has bitten him 16
times in 11 years.
Serven filed a claim for $100,
000 against the dog's owner.
The postman said the 18th bite
caused him to fall in shrubbery
and permanently injured his
back.
Now, he said, he must carry
his mail in a cart.
