Statehood Hearings
For Juneau End, With
26 For, Eight Opposed
JUNEAU, UP)—The second phase
of a U.S. Senate committee’s hear
ings on statehood ended here
Wednesday noon after 26 witness
es took the stand in support of
and eight testified against imme
diate statehood for the territory.
A final witness for statehood
was Jerry Wade, 19-year-old son
of Hugh Wade, director of the
Alaska Native Service. Young
Wade grew emotional on the stand
as he protested, with table-pound
ing, against the opposition to
statehood.
Earlier leading witnesses against
statehood included Sen. Marcus
Jensen and Allen Shattuck, Ju
neau insurance man and former
legislator. Their arguments were
based primarily on the thesis that
the financial burden of statehood
would be too great at the pres
ent stage of economic develop
ment of the territory.
One of the pro-statehood wit
nesses was Warren Christiansen,
president of the Sitka Chamber of
Commerce, who said his endorse
ment was for both the chamber
and himself. Mrs. Myrtle Sarvella,
a Sitka housewife, proposed a
separate state in southeast Alaska.
IN COMMISSIONER'S COURT
Daniel Syngke was given a
four-month suspended sentence
for being drunk and disorderly on
the condition that he return to
work at Lost River.

NEW METHOD ... CHEAPER BULLDOZING
HINGED TEETH FOR
BULLDOZERS WHICH
RIP WHEN BACKING UP
k _ _
RIPPING
The 4 shanks, capped with lock-on
teeth, rip the ground when tractoi
is becking up. Blade octs as depth
gauge.
BULLDOZING
When tractor moves forward, teeth
drag on top of ground. No controls
are required.
RETRACTED
Each tooth can be independently
pinned up out of way. This permits
making side cuts, trenches, curl)
locations.
Preco Back-Rippers, mounted on the back side of straight blade
bulldozers, rip the ground while the tractor is backing up-for the
next forward blading operation. They prepare the soil for easiet
blading by ripping rocks, roots and hard ground. The tractor pro
duces more work with less horsepower-moving loose ripped ma
terial to the full capacity of the blade.
Preco Back-Rippers have been in use for the past three years by
many well-known contracting firms. They save time and have
replaced other equipment in building pioneer roads, clearing land
and rights-of-way, in gravel pit operations, slate breaking in coal
strip mines, mounted on pusher tractors for scraper loading, for
logging operations and many other uses. Quickly installed on most
straight blade bulldozers.

New Kinsey Report Finds
Women Stay Young Longer
Than Men In Sexual Activity
CIVIL DEFENSE URGES
ALASKANS TO HAVE
EMERGENCY RATIONS
From Alaska’s Department of
Civil Defense come recommenda
tions to Alaskans concerning
emergency rations for the house
hold. The department’s Emergen
cy Food Committee has drafted
the recommendations, which are,
in part:
1. That all Alaska families
maintain a thirty-day supply of
staple foods for use in the event
of prolonged emergency which
would deplete normal food stocks.
2. That a rotational plan be de
veloped whereby families use and
replenish items in the emergency
supply to insure continuing maxi
mum edibility and maintenance
of caloric content.
Issuance of the emergency food
list at this time, the committee
said, is not to be interpreted as
indicating any increase in the ser
iousness of the present emergen
cy. It was the opinion of the com
mittee that in any area as depen
dent on distant food source as is
Alaska, the wisdom of individual
family groups assuming the re
sponsibility for preparing emer
gency 30-day supplies of food is
obvious.
BLOOMINGTON, Indiana, M
—The new Kinsey report released
Thursday finds women stay young
longer than men in sex activity.
Human sex lives, it also finds,
are as different as fingerprints.
The only basic sex difference be
tween men and women is mental
or psychological, the female book
says. Most women — with some
surprising exceptions — are not
aroused as often as men by sights,
talk, or anticipation of sex.
Most women need steady phys
ical contact to achieve sex satis
faction.
It finds the roaring 20s really
brought a sharp change in Ameri
can women’s sex lives. They
changed toward less frigidity in
marriage, and more experience
and freedom before marriage.
Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey authorized
publication Thursday of the scien
tific finds in his long-awaited
second book, “Sexual Behavior in
the Human Female.”
Some other finds:
Ten percent o-f wives remain
frigid, never experiencing a sex
ual climax. So do 28 percent of
older single women. Yet many
such inexperienced women advise
youths about sex, or help draft
sex laws.
One in four wives—26 percent
or more—at some time commits
adultery, whereas about half of
all husbands ultimately have ex
tra-marital affairs. Some hus
bands encourage wives to' do so.
About half of all women have
sex relations before marriage,
I about half of them just with
fiances.
Most women reach a peak of
sexual activities about the age of
27 or 28. Once they reach, it they
usually maintain a steady level
until their 50s or 60s, with little
decline from aging.
But most men reach a peak of
activity in their late ’teens, then
steadily decline with age.
The fact is most men are grow
ing old in sexual capacity when
their wives are becoming more
interested and less inhibited in
sex. This difference often leads to
marital problems. It’s still a mys
tery why women don’t show this
aging effect.
Fifteen years in preparation,
the 742-page book will be pub
lished Sept. 14—at a price of $8.
The pre-publication announce
ment said the report was based
on interviews with 5,940 females,
aged 2 to 90, of varied religions,
education and occupation.
A conclusion on marriage:
“Men will never learn to get
along better with women, or wo
men with men, until each under
stands the other as they are, and
not as they hope or imagine them
to be.”
The cart is believed to be the
first wheeled vehicle invented.
Air Force Hopes to Leave
Shemya Base Next April;
Passenger Lines Affected
(AP Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, [ff) — The Air
Force said Thursday it hopes to
suspend its operation of Shemya
Airport in the Aleutians next
April 1.
A spokesman said the 426th
Royal Canadian Air Force Squad
ron is virtually the only unit still
using the remote base. He said
the Canadians operate through
Shemya, in the Pacific airlift,
about once a week from McChord
Air Force Ease near Tacoma,
Wash.
The spokesman added that if
“contingencies" required it, the
Air Force could continue opera
ting Shemya until June 30.
Two commercial airlines —
Northwest and Canadian Pacific
— currently operate through
Shemya.
Unless the Civil Aeronautics
Administration decides to main
tain Shemya after the Air Force
checks out, the airlines might
have to shift to other Air Force
airfields in the Aleutians, such as
Cold Bay or Adak, or change to
a southern route through Hawaii.
Closing of Shemya would mean
greater fuel requirements or dif
ferent model aircraft for contin
uance of the North Pacific run.
