L.A. Politicians
Protest Program
Was Too Risque
LOS ANGELES, UR— Was the
entertainment for the King and
Queen of Greece at a civic ban
quet here Saturday too risque for
royalty?
The mayor, some city council
men and several society leaders
thought so, and the corridors of
City Hall still echoed their com
plaints Tuesday.
Mayor Norris said he was
shocked, particularly by some of
the songs of sexy Eartha Kitt.
Other politician-critics found fault
with some of the patter of Actor
Dick Powell, master of ceremonies
at the black-tie, $15-a-plate blow
out.
“I was extremely disappointed,”
said the mayor. “I personally
found some of the lyrics offensive.
I feel the Hollywood Coordinating
Committee owes an apology to the
King and Queen.”
The Coordinating Committee
arranged the entertainment, in
which Frankie Laine and Comedi
an Danny Thomas also took part.
Miss Kitt sang such ditties as “I
Want to Be Evil” and “Santa
Baby.”
Poulson, elaborating his opinion
later, added that “generally speak
ing, it was far from the high-type
program that the occasion de
manded.”
Said Miss Kitt: “I can’t under
stand it. I’m just an innocent little
girl. I didn’t think it was possible
to shock politicians.”
And said Powell: “What did
they expect, church hymns? It
was only a little bit sophisticated.”
“Miss Kitt’s songs started it off
on a low level,” said Councilman
Gordon Hahn. “I always liked
Frankie Laine but I don’t think
he should have sung ‘Jezebel’.”
Councilman Don Allen found
fault with Miss Kitt and also with
the Andrews Sisters. Of the latter
he said: “They sang a couple of
nice songs and then went into
their saloon routine.”
Replied Patti Andrews: “We
sang ‘The Pennsylvania Polka.’ Is
that risque? We sang ‘Apple Blos
som Time.’ Is that risque? We
sang ‘Feudin’ and a-Fightin’.’ Is
that risque? And last we sang
‘Carmen’s Boogie.’ Is that risque?”

Resolution Calling
For Special Session
Senator Howard Lyng, who left

works; revising statute on vagran
cy; uniform motor vehicle code;
financing of Territorial Police; es
tablishment of juvenile detention

lapping of taxation; creation off a
territorial insurance commission.
A longer legislative session was
also urged.
Walter Hodge, Cordova attorney

Second Division judgeship, spoke
briefly at the chamber meeting.
He stated that, after seeing Nome,
he knows he will be glad to ac
cept the position if offered, and
that his family was also eager to
live here.
Hodge said also he was a mem
ber of the League of Alaska Cities
and that that organization regret
ted not having Nome participat
ing and hoped the city would re
consider and again be active with
the group.

the meeting but his plane was
late in arriving.
Other guests included Leo M.
Anthony, instructor of the the
mining course from the Univer

800-ft. Radio Tower Under
Construction at Adak,
Blown Down In Storm
KODIAK, OB—The 17th Naval
District headquarters reported
yesterday that an 800-foot radio
tower at the Adak Naval Station
blew down during a storm Nov. 1
and was completely demolished.
The Adak Weather Station re
ported gusts in excess of 90 miles
an hour at the time. The tower
was being built at an approximate
cost of $750,000 and was near
completion. Its design was sup
posed to withstand winds up to
146 miles an hour.
The cause of the collapse is
not known but is believed due
to the failure of a guy wire turn
buckle.
| No other damage was reported.

Drop Trans-Pacific Tourist
Fares At CAB Request
WASHINGTON, OP — North
west Orient Airlines and Pan
American World Airways have
cancelled the trans-Pacific tour
ist fares which they had planned
to inaugurate last Sunday.
The Civil Aeronautics Board
asked them to withdraw the fares,
which would average 25 per cent
less than first class fares.
The Board also expressed doubt
whether Northwest’s plan to carry
first class and tourist passengers
on the same Stratocruisers would
provide enough difference be
tween classes of service to justify
different fares.
Northwest had proposed to op
erate 24 tourist seats in the rear
cabin, separated by a curtain
from the forward first class com
partment. Pan American planned
to use Stratocruisers carrying 81
tourist passengers.
Psychological Colors Aid
Dentist In Treating Kids
ST. LOUIS, UR — Green shoes,
yellow trousers, a light colored
sports shirt.
This is the working attire of Dr.
Roy M. Wolff—children’s dentist.
The purpose is psychology.
Dr. Wolff told a meeting of the
Mid-Continental Dental Congress
when children saw him in white
they thought of doctors who gave
them shots and became fright
ened.
His two women assistants wear
blue shoes, blue jumpers and
white blouses. The office is decor
ated in pastel hues.
“It’s worked wonderfully,” he
said. “The psychological effect is
terrific.”
