Queen of Roses
Dates U of VV Star
PASADENA, Calfi. UP) — The
conquering football hero and the
beauty queen dined and danced
Monday night — almost like it
happens in storybooks.
Only thing is, quarterback Bob
Schloredt had that date with Rose
Queen Carole Washburn lined up
long before he led his Washing
ton teammates to a 17-7 victory
over Minnesota in the Rose Bowl.
Miss Washburn made that plain
herself earlier in the day. After
riding in the Tournament of
Roses Parade, the 18-year-old
Pasadena City College coed con
fided to newsmen that she had
a date with Schloredt in the eve
ning—regardless of the outcome
of the game.
She also disclosed that against
the morning chill of the parade
she wore something underneath
her flimsy gown — Schlroedt's
football warm-up pants.
Schloredt and Miss Washburn
met during the pre-holiday ex
cursions.

Major Problems Before Lawmakers
Will Be Lengthy and Argumentive
By Ward T. Sims
Associated Press Staff Writer
JUNEAU UF>—The second State
Legislature, when it meets Jan.
23, should find itself embroiled in
at least seven major scraps be
fore the lawmakers call it quits
for another year.
The roughest tussle will prob
ably swirl around Chapter 170 of
the session laws of 1960, the
Ferry Bond proposal approved
by the voters on Nov. 8.
The Ferry fight wil be tied
very closely to a probably legisla
tive battle over the continuing
attempt to move the capital from
Juneau to Westward Alaska.
The State’s Tourist promotion
program, gambling, the new state
election code, Boroughs and the
old bugaboo, employment securi
ty, will probably furnish the am
munition for five more major
legislative fights.
Chapter 170 of the Ssession of
Laws of 1960 proposed a 23 mil
lion dollar general obligation bond
issue to finance a State Ferry
System. The proposition was
passed by a margin of 2,418 votes,
27,197-24,779.
The law which authorized the
vote on the Ferry System does
not spell out what specifically is
to be done with the 23 million
dollars. It says only that the “pro
ceeds of a sale of such bonds
shall be as hereafter determined
by the governor under rules and
standards to be fixed by the Leg
islature.”
Because the Anchorage area,
seat of opposition to the Ferry
Bond proposal, voted so hevily
against the bond issue, it seems
certain that legislators from that
region will do their utmost to
sink the entire plan.
| No Mandate
After the election, opponents
j of the Ferry Proposal argued
that the slim majority by which
the bonds passed tossed out any
claim that the vote represented
a “mandate” for the state to is
sue the bonds.
The proposition, however, con
tained the word “shall,” which
means, legally, that the state must
issue the bonds, under rules laid
down by the Legislature.
For opponents of the Ferry Plan,
the proposition also provides an
out. It does not say that the 1961
Legislature is the one which must
set up the standards for sale of
the bonds.
The strategy of the Ferry Bord
opponets will probably be to
stall any action of issuing rules
for sale of bonds. If the standa 'ds
are not established, according to
the proposition, the bonds cannot
be issued.
Opponents of the Ferry Sys
tem have another avenue of es
cape, but it seems unlikely they
would attempt to use it.
That would be to set conditions
for the issuance of the bonds
which would make their sale im
possible.
Any such move would leave the
state’s credit under a question
mark and, perhaps would have
repercussions the next time the
state attempted to float general
obligation bonds. Opponents of
the Ferry Plan, probably, would
hesitate to go that far.
Reapporlionment
The prospect of a reapportion
ment of the House of Represent
atives later this year, which will
give the Anchorage area an even
greater voice, could be a definite
factor in the way sides choose
THIS DUCK WAS A BIT
NOISY FOR NEW YEAR'S DAY
WOODSTOCK, 111. i/P — A
weaving, quacking duck, stag
gering around Woodstock New
Year’s morning, was picked up
by police—after a hectic chase.
It was the only drunken duck
jailed for celebrating New Year’s
Policemen Don Liston and Tom
Vernie got a report that a duck
was waddling along the icy
streets and sidewalks, occasion
ally flapping its wings.
The policemen found that a
duck, even if intoxicated, is not
easy to catch. The duck scooted
along, just a few inches off the
ground, sailed over a snow bank,
something the policemen couldn’t
do, then paused until they had
almost caught up with him.
Then he took off again. Finally
ran into a garage and the police
men captured him.
Liston and Vernie speculated
the duck was a tame one and prob
ably had some New Year’s egg
nog.
up on the Ferry Bond Proposal.
There would be a natural re
luctance on the part of legislators
from districts outside of the third
division to antagonize an area
which may have complete control
of the House by 1973, after re
apportionment following the 1970
census.
The possibility of House domi
nation by the third division could
also work in the just the opposite
way, serving to bond legislators
from Southeast, Central and
Northwest Alaska into a voting
bloc aimed at the third division.
If the latter becomes the case,
the Ferry fight will be bitter but
brief. If the former holds true,
the scrap will turn into the major
fight of the session.
In any event, party lines will
! cease to exist on this particular
I issue.
THE ALARM DIDN'T GO OFF
