i Atty. Gen. Assures
NWA Chamber
Nome to Have D.A.
John Rader, Alaska’s first State
Attorney General, spoke to mem
bers of the N.W.A. Chamber of
Commerce at noon today about
the State Court System. He said
that the coinfirmation of Alaska’s
first State Federal Judge—Walter
H. Hodge, should be in about 10
days after which the State Court
System takes over and Judge
Hubert Gilbert’s court .becomes
active.
He assured the Chamber that a
District Attorney for Nome is in
the budget and will be appointed
probably after the bar examina
tion results are announced, which
will be next Friday.
He estimated that about 90 per
cent of the Federal cout cases
will be turned over to the State
Court.
Freight Rate Increase
Mr. Rader also discussed the
10 per cent freight rate increase
which went into effect the first
of the year and cautioned mer
chants to keep a careful account
of their freight costs as they may
get a refund after the Maritime
Board hearing some time between
May and August, should the raise
not be justified.
Petition on State Capitol
A petition will be circulated
soon, or placed in some public
place for those who wish to take
a stand on whether or not the
state capitol should be moved. It
was indicated that Juneau is un
able to get financial backing for
building purposes until the mat
ter is settled.

Guard Chills
Visitors In First
Inter-City Play
Nanookettes Hammer Alaskans
In a thrilling anti-climax game
Saturday night, the High School
Nanooks (female version) shot
holes in the old theory that fe
male Nanooks sleep through the
winter. They out-fought and out
shot a hard-driving ladies’ team,
to come out on top, 25-19.
The co-eds were almost bril
liant as they passed, drove and !
shot their wav to thei1- narrow i
victory. The Nanookettes spear
headed by the deadly shooting of
“Tweet” Hardy, who finished
with 20 for the evening, pulled
away from the 'Ladies in the
fourth quarter. Others who shone
in the Co-eds were “Stormy” Mc
Iver, Carolyn Johnson, Laura
Atuk, Ellen Saito, and Mina
Tungwenuk. Starring for the old
er women were ace forwards
Marge Benefield, Nancy Carter,
and Marvella Kowalczyk. Guards
who tried to stem the tide were
Lillie Tungwenuk, Lucy Richard
son, and Cecelia Okpealuk.
Guard Dumps Guests, 55-38
The Nome National Guard, af
ter a slow start, Saturday night
exploded in the second half, to
swat the visiting Air Guard from
Anchorage, 55-38.
The fracas started out slowly,
with the clubs feeling each other
out, and both seemingly off in
their shooting. With the halftime
score reading 20-17 in favor of
the locals, the fans had resigned
themselves to the fact that they
were witnessing a real close thril
ler that would be decided in the
last minutes. About two-thirds of
the way through the third quar
ter, the locals started to click.
During this rally they gradually
increased their lead, until, with
about five minutes to go, the
visitors’ coach started to clear
his bench, after giving qp hope
of victory.
Friday night in a basketball
double header, the high flying Na
tional Guard took another step
in their quest for the crown, by
easily trouncing the Independents
by a score of 66-29.
In the nightcap, the Arctic Na
tive Brotherhod, after building up
a commanding lead, weathered a
tremendous onslaught by the
Nome High team, 56 to 49. This
was the first real sustained drive
that the Nanooks have been able
to engineer this season.
