Mary Martin Will
Bring Lavish Show
To Alaska G.I.s
NEW YORK, (ff) — Broadway
star Mary Martin is going on a
singing tour of Alaska military
bases—with 20 lavish gowns and
a 20-piece band.
“It’s a new kind of show busi
ness,” chuckled Richard Halliday,
her husband-manager, as he con
firmed the project today.
The Sept. 6-20 swing, he said,
will foe a far north preview of
Miss Martin’s 6-month concert
itinerary of American cities. That
starts Sept. 27 in Poughkeepsie,
N.Y., and ends next March.
Halliday said the Alaska ex
pedition under Defense Depart
ment auspices developed sud
denly and “Mary is doubling up
on the work of getting ready.”
The first stop is to foe Anchor
age and 11 bases are to be visited.
In addition one performance for
the general public may foe ar
ranged as a benefit for the Alaska
Crippled Children’s Assn.
The trip, adds Halliday, will
help clear up certain geographi
cal problems for Texas - born
Mary.
“She has ' always been per
plexed by the claim that Brazil
is larger than Texas,” he said.
“Then when Alaska came into
the union and said it was bigger
—Mary said she’d have to see it
to' believe it.
“Now she’s going to find out.”
Alaska Would Get
Preferred Status Under
Aid to Airports Bill
WASHINGTON, (®—A predic
tion that the Senate will accept
a House amendment to the Mag
nuson - Monroney federal aid to
airports bill to give Alaska pre
ferred status was voiced Tuesday
. by Sen. Warren Magnuson, chair-,
man of the Senate Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee.
As amended and passed by the
House Monday, the measure per
mits Alaska to continue to match
federal airport allocations on a 25
per cent basis as a territory in
stead of on a 37 Vi per cent basis
as a state.
The Magnuson-Monroney mea
sure increases federal aid to the
airport program from the present
$63 million annually to $95 mil
lion annually through fiscal 1963.
Magnuson termed the airport
aid measure one of “top import
ance” to prepare the nation’s air
ports for the commercial jet age.
