18-Year-Old Girl
Survives 9 Days
Pinned Under Car
SALT LAKE CITY, Uff — An
M-year-old California girl says
she heard automobiles passing
within 300 feet of her as she lay
helpless for nine days under the
wreckage of a car. Only 20 feet
away lay the body of her fiance.
Jean Margetts of Sunnyvale,
Calif., spoke briefly with her re
lieved parents, Mr. and Mrs. L.
Margetts, as she recovered in a
hospital from her ordeal.
Jean was rescued Tuesday
after an airplane spotted the
wreckage of the car at the bot
tom of a 300-foot embankment
just off heavily traveled U. S.
Highway 40 east of Salt Lake
City. Highway patrolmen rushed
to the scene and at first thought
Jean and her fiance, James
Hixon, 22, Salt Lake City, wore
dead. But when a patrolman
lifted a heavy log from the girl’s
leg she cried out.
The two had been the object
of a state-wide search since tiw
disappeared while on a fishing
trip June 24. They were to be
married in September.
Jean was badly emaciated when
brought to a Salt Lake City hos
pital. She had had no food or
water during the nine days she
was trapped. She also received a
skull fracture. At first listed as
critical, she was later reported
in fair condition.

Del. Bartlett Introduces
Bill To Modernize The
Alaska' Game Laws
WASHINGTON, U* — Legisla
tion designed to modernize the
Alaska game law was prepared
for introductibn Thursday by Del.
Bartlett.
The present law was enacted
in 1925, and has few revisions
during the intervening years.
Bartlett said his bill has the ap
proval of the Alaska Game Com
mission, and seeks up - to - date
standards by which the commis
sion can function.
One major proposed change
would authorize the use of re
ceipts from the sale of hunting,
fishing and other licenses for the
management of wildlife resources.
At present, half these receipts
go to the federal treasury and
half to the territorial general
fund. Such receipts pow total
about $200,000 a year.
Bartlett said that if his bill
passes, the commission proposes
to recommend an increase in fees
to bring the receipts to about
$350,000 annually, all to go to
management and protection of
wildlife resources.
