U-W Anxious to Get
Purebred Alaska Dog
SEATTLE, UP) — University of
Washington found itself without a
mascot Tuesday to take to the
Rose Bowl game. Denali, a gift
from University of Alaska stu
dents, flunked the role by grow
ing up.
Turned out he’s no Husky after
all, just a big lovable dog of du
bious ancestry.
Don Nielsen, student body pres
ident, said Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Hanna of rural Olympia have of
fered ' a 7-month-old white male
Alaska malamute named Thunder.
But the offer is complicated by
the desire not to offend Univer
sity of Alaska students who have
agreed to breed a mascot for
Washington from two pedigreed
Alaska malamutes.
Washington Puzzles Over
Offers of Alaska Huskies
To Act as Top Dog
MILWAUKEE, UP) — Washing
ton can have a huskie mascot for
the Rose Bowl game with Wiscon
sin on New Year’s Day for a
price — two tickets to the foot
ball classic — on the Badger side
of the field.
“I’ve got the best dog in the
world and she’d be more than
happy to act as Washington’s
mascot for the day,” Capt. Har
old Kuehn of Milwaukee, an Air
Force Reservist, said today.
Kuehn said he brought Chena
home from Alaska in 1955. The
dog is 7 years old.
“Chena has everything any
school could possibly desire,”
Kuehn said, “including perky
ears and a bushy tail. She really
is a beauty, and I’m willing to
send pictures to prove it.
“If Washington likes Chena,”
Kuehn said, “she’ll be there. So
will I — if I get the tickets.”
SEATTLE, UP) — A University
of Alaska spokesman said today
it’s unlikely the university will
accept an Air Force offer of an
Alaskan Husky dog as an emer
gency Rose Bowl football game
mascot.
Brig. Gen. Gordon Austin,
commander of the 11th Air Divi
sion in Alaska, said at Fairbanks
yesterday the Air Firce would be
willing to lend the dog for the
game.
Charles Owens, director of
student affairs, said the decision
rested with the student board of
control, but Owens added the
board had indicated it would not
want to accept responsibility of
such a loan.
General Austin offered to lend
the school a handsome Mackenzie
River Husky that once attacked
a polar bear and saved the life
of an Air Force man.

Surgeon General Issues New Warning
Against Tobacco as Cancer Producer
By GOEFFREY GOULD
WASHINGTON, OP) — The Pub
lic Health Service has issued a
strong new warning on tobacco:
the weight of evidence implicates
smoking as the main cause of the
rising rate of lung cancer.
The statement was issued
Thursday by Surgeon General
Leroy E. Burney in an article
in the Journal of the American
Medical Association. It was the
government’s strongest statement
to date linking smoking and cen
cer. Burney said it was based
partly on new evidence.
Burney’s warning immediately
was attacked by tobacco interests
as a warmed over rehash of old
statistics.
Dr. C. C. Little, scientist direc
tor of the' Tobacco Industry Re
search Committee, said in New
York the points in Burney’s ar
ticle were “first advanced some
years ago in statistical studies
that admittedly are not supported
by experimental evidence.”
Burney’s article took note of
frequent criticism of the evidence
linking smoking and lung cancer.
He cited Little’s previous criti
cisms specifically.
But Burney noted that by law
the Public Health Service must
tell the medical profession and
the public about anything affect
ing public health. After reviewing
the presently available evidence
in detail he said “The Public
Health Service believes that the
following statements are justi
fied by- studies to slate:
"1. The weight of evidence at
presept implicates smoking as the
principal etiological causative fac
tor in the increased incidence of
lung cancer.
“2. Cigarette smoking particu
larly is associated with an in
creased chance of developing
lung cancer.
"3. Stopping cigarette smoking
even after long exposure is ben
eficial.
"4. No method of treating to
bacco or filtering the smoke has
been demonstrated to be effec
tive in materially reducing or
eliminating the hazard of lung
cancer.
"5. The nonsmoker has a lower
incidence of lung cancer than the
smoker in all controlled studies,
whether analyzed in terms of ru
ral areas, urban regions, indus
trial occupations, or sex.
"6. Persons who have never
smoked at all (cigarettes, cigars or
pipe) have the best chance of
escaping lung cancer.
"7. Unless the use of tobacco
can be made safe, the individual
person’s risk of lung cancer can
best be reduced by the eliminaj
tion of smoking.”
Burney said recent scientific
studies also point to air pollution
— from car exhausts, industrial
smog and s® on — as additional
causative factors in rising lung
cancer.
Matthews’ Successor Will
Probably Be Selected
Just Before New Year
JUNEAU — It probably will be
at least late December before a
successor to Howard Matthews is
selected as head of the state’s vo
cational education program.
That’s the estimate made by Dr.
Theo J. Norby, state commission
er of education. Matthews re
signed last Friday from h i s
$13,500-a-year job as vocational
education head and as deputy
commissioner of education.
Matthews’ resignation is not ef
fective until Dec. 31, but he went
on terminal leave immediately.
Dr. Norby said his job would be
handled by educational depart
ment staff members until a suc
cessor is chosen.
“Matthews did a tremendous
job and left things in good shape,”
Norby said.
The commissioner said a 11
state superintendents and various
educational replacement officers
would be asked to seek candi
dates for the post.

Public Safety Commissioner Fitzgerald
Leaves His Mark on New Department
From the Juneau Empire
Public Safety Commissioner
James Fitzgerald leaves his post
today, after only three months in
office, to become a Superior
Court Judge, but he also leaves
his mark on a sharply reorgan
ized Public Safety Department.
The heftiest section of the de
partment as it came to Fitzger
ald was the extensive State
Police, which formerly operated
as an independent agency under
the authority of an executive
police superintendent and an ad
visory board of commissioners
composed of citizens who ruled
on policy questions.
Probably the most important
innovation which Fitzgerald has
set up in the police division is a
district commander’s board, which
will pass on policy questions for
law enforcement. The police divi
sion has been divided into four
sections — law enforcement, serv
ice, safety responsibility, and the
investigative and identification j
section.
The law enforcement section
contains the patrol operations of
the police force, extending!
throughout the state. The state
has been devided into three dis
tricts, with headquarters at Ju- |
neau, Anchorage and Fairbanks,
and district commanders have
been placed at the head of each
district to oversee its police opera,- j
tions.
Part of Fitzgerald’s intent has
I been to leave the law enforce

ment section solely occupied with
law enforcement problems, refer
ring other time-consuming and
overhead - building matters to
other sections. To effect this, the
safety responsibility section has
been set up to handle drivers’
license matters and to enforce the
financial responsibility act, and
the investigating and identifica
tion section has been established
to handle criminal records.
The fourth,- or service, section
will be greatly expanded when
the state court system moves into
operation, * requiring the com
mencement of a process and pri
soner service to take over mat
ters now handled by the U.S.
Marshalls.
Fitzgerald has also set up for
the Public Safety Department a
classification and pay plan which
is uniform throughout the depart
ment. The plan ranks each mem
ber of the department and sets
salary on the rank basis.
The reorganization of the de
partment has been accomplished
under Fitzgerald in rapid order,
but although Fitzgerald is step
ping out, his three months of work
will have an effect on the opera
tions of . the Public Safety De
partment for some time to come.
