The 1954 beauty wears her hair short, reports grooming expert
Katherine Potter who heads the beauty department for Procter &
Gamble. Slightly curled, softly feminine, with casual rather than
set-looking waves, this new trend in hairdos is both formal and
carefree. The above version looks chic with suits or evening clothes.

Merchants Win 12th
Straight By Taking 23rd
In Tuesday’s Basketball
In a battle for first place in
the second half league play, the
Nome Merchants fought off a de
termined challenge of the Detach
ment 23rd 39-34 while the 10th
Radio knocked over the Air Force
Five at the high school last eve
ning.
The win by the Merchants was
their 12th in a row over the local
opposition and with about five
games left on their schedule, they
stand a good chance of remaining
undefeated for the rest of the sea
son.
They got off to a slow start
against the Detachment but by
the quarter mark had posted a
11-7 score and increased the mar
gin to a 21-14 count at the half.
In the third quarter they out
ran the opposition to jump the
total of 31-17. However, during
the remaining period, sparked by
Jones, Kistler and Ellis the De
tachment team outscored the Mer
chants and closed with a rush be
fore time caught them 39-34.
George Bell paced the winners
with 12, Harold Bell 9, Arnie
Castel and A1 Sahlin 6 each, Roy
Luke 4 and Gary Longley 2. For
the 23rd, Ellis and Kistler 9 each,
Jones 7, Schrag 4, Weaver 3, and
Swygert 2.
The Air Force Five, which has
had its troubles winning their
share of games this season, was
never in the game against the
Radio Five who outscored them
at each of the quarter intermis
sions 9-7, 17-9, 29-13 and 40-25.
Big Don Knipp and George Tol
bert paced the winners with 13
points each, Gene Peek 10, Pete
O'Brien 3, and Bob Logan 1. For
the Air Force, Goodgame 10, Cole
man 8, Tuccillo 4, Gray 2 and
Mescelli 1.
It has been tentatively set, if
the Old Men can got ready in
time, the second challenge game
between the Little Guys and the
undefeated Liniment Squad, to
take place- on Tuesday, March 2.
You will recall the Liniment
Squad trounced the youngsters
14-8 in a previous meeting. This
will be played as the first half of
a doubleheader, the Nome Mer
chants to meet the Nome Nanooks
in the second tilt.

Approval of Albert Beeson
To Labor Relations Board
WASHINGTON, UPI —The Sen
ate Labor Committee Tuesday ap
proved Albert C. Beeson by a
straight 7 to 6 party line vote as
a member of the National Labor
Relations Board.
The vote came soon after John
L. Lewis denounced the Eisen
hower appointee as a “self-styled
union-buster.”
And, immediately after the vote
Republicans and Democrats hurl
ed charges at each other from the
committee bench.
Sen. Lehman (D-NY) accused
Republicans of “an attempt to
steamroller the nomination thru
the committee without hearings
sufficient to disclose all the facts.”
Three Republican members ac
cused the Democrats of “delaying
tactics” and steam-roller in re
verse.”
The vote came after a stormy
session during which Sen. Smith
(R-NJ), committee chairman read
into the record a telegram from
Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers. Lewis said Beeson,
formerly a San Jose, Calif., busi
ness m„n, “possesses an astonish
ing bias” against union labor.
Smith called the message “a
wonderful display of rhetoric.”
Senator Sutler, Longtime Foe Of

Alaskan Statehood Legislation,
O 7
Comes Out For Statehood Now
By FRANK W. VAILLE <
WASHINGTON, tf) — Sen. But
ler, long - time foe of Alaskan
statehood legislation, came out
for immediate statehood for the
northern territory Monday.
In a statement inserted in the
record during the Senate session
Butler, chairman of the Interior
and Insular Affairs Committee,
declared:
“ . . . I believe the time has
now come when a workable and
an honorable statehood bill for
Alaska can and should be writ
ten.”
Butler’s apparent withdrawal as
leader of Republican anti-state
hood forces cheered supporters of
Alaskan statehood. There was no
indication however, whether the
Nebraskan’s statement was mere
ly a personal view or represented
a change of heart by the Repub
lican adminstration which has
been cool to Alaskan prospects.
President Eisenhower told a re
cent news conference that he felt
certain factors necessary to Al
aska’s admission were not yet
present. He did not elaborate.
As matters stand now, Butler’s
commitee has voted to merge the
Alaska statehood bill with a sim
ilar measure for Hawaii—an un
expected move. Similar action last
year had the effect of stalling fa
vorable action on either territory
as the Republican leadership was
pushing for Hawaii alone. It took
the same position this year but a
predicted “Hawaii only” vote edge
in the Interior Committee col
lapsed.
Delegate Bartlett, commenting
on Butler’s stand, declared:
“If the time has actually come
when Sen. Butler is prepared to
join the fight for Alaskan state
hood, he will have, I am confi
dent, the lasting gratitude of
every Alaskan favoring the state
hood cause. For one, I shall be
most happy to forget his long
period of opposition and join with
him in bringing Alaska out of the
political wilderness.”
Division Chairmen
Boost Polio Drive
With Contest
Andy Anderson of Anchorage,
chairman of the March of Dimes
Campaign for the Southcentral
Alaska Chapter of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
(Third Division', has challenged
Henry Simpson, chairman of the
Northern Alaska Chapter 'Second
and Fourth Divisions* and Mrs.
Marguerite Dudley, chairman of
the Southeastern Alaska Chapter
'First Division*, to a contest to
obtain t^e greatest amount of con
tributions during the present
March of Dimes Campaign.
Anderson said he realized he
was sticking his neck out in taking
on the rest of the territory for the
contest, but he had confidence that
the many volunteer workers and
he generous members of his chap
er would outdo themselves this
year in the great fight against
polio.
Henry Simpson and Marguerite
Dudley, both experienced cam
paign directors, have accepted the
challenge and are urging the peo
ple of their chapters to show An
derson that he really did stick
his neck out in challenging them
‘o the contest.
The gross receipts for the South
central Chapter last year were
$47,650.43 and the Northern Alas
ka Chapter's were $26,675.45, and
proceeds received by the South
eastern Chapter were $27,559.59.

Will Accept Compromise
On Treaty-Making
Powers of Constitution
WASHINGTON, UP) — Senator
Bricker said today a desire to
keep the Republican party from
being “torn apart” would lead him
to accept a reasonable compromise
on altering treaty-making powers
in the Constitution.
Bricker disputed President Ei
senhower’s newly stated conten
tions that the* Ohioan’s propdsed
amendment would (1) make it im
possible for the United States to
deal with friendly countries on
defense matters, (2) strip the
President of his historical role as
the nation’s spokesman, and (3)
[ force* American withdrawal from
leadership in world affairs.
Way Cleared For
Separation Of Two
Statehood Bills
WASHINGTON, UP)— The way
apparently was cleared Tuesday
for separation of the question of
statehood for Hawaii from that of
statehood for Alaska. Sen. Dwor
shak (R-Idaho), key legislator in
the situation, dropped his stand
for a combined bill.
The Eisenhower administration
had aimed for separate considera
tion for Hawaii. Its plans were
upset when Dworshak voted with
Democrats in the Senate Interior
Committee last week for a com
bined bill.
Tuesday, Dworshak announced
a switch of positions by issuing
the following statement:
“I have withdrawn my insist
ence that both Hawaii and Alaska
be considered in a single- measure.
“The reason for my action last
week in voting to include Hawaii
and Alaska was to insure con
sideration of statehood for both
territories at this session.
“Now I have received assur
ances from chairman Hugh Butler
of the- Senate Committee on In
terior ' and Insular Affairs, and
from Sen. Guy Cordon, chairman
of the subcommittee that a sep
arate bill, now being perfected,
which deals with Alaska, will be
reported out within 30 days. This,
I feel will accomplish the purpose
of consideration for both territor
ies this session.”
