Boots For A Tenderfoot

MADISONVILLE, Tex. — Bill Andrews, president of the Madison
ville Sidewalk Cattlemen’s Association, looks over cowboy boots with
an eye to selecting a pair for a newcomer to Texas.
The newcomer is a woman who won the pair offered by the
Cattlemen in a contest to name a subject for their 1959 letter-writing
Appropriation Sought For
Study of Rail, Highway
Needs in 49th State
WASHINGTON, UP) — A $200,
000 appropriation was sought to
day to complete a study of needs
for additional rail and highway
transportation facilities connect
ing the United States and central
Alaska.
Sen. Warren G. Magnuson, as
acting chairman of the Alaska In
ternational Rail and Highway
Commission, made the request yes
terday before the Senate Appro
priations Committee. The House
knocked the funds out ot a sup
plemental money bill.
“This will be a blueprint of
the transport needs of this portion
of the North American continent,
which will provide the guideline
to both Canada and the United
States for the development of this
vast, untapped area,” Magnuson
said.

Pure, Natural Water
^contest, limited this year to Alas
kans only.
Winner of the contest is Mrs. I.
Walker Rupel of College Station,
who suggested that the Alaskans
write a letter on “Why I Am Liv
ing In Alaska.”
So, the contest for Alaskans is
on. The inhabitant of the biggest
state in the Union who writes the
best letter on “Why I Am Living
In Alaska” will be flown to Texas
as honor guest of the Sidewalx
Cattlemen at their barbecue and
rodeo the first Friday and Satur
day in June. Entries in the contest
must be sent to Bill Andrews,
Watsonville, Texas, by May 10.
People who remember other
contests staged by Madisonville
Sidewalk Cattlemen, with subjects
such as “Why I Hate Texas,”
“Why I Would Like to Live in
Texas,” and who recall that this
fun-loving organization sought out
the “World’s Happiest Taxpayer,”
and, during the drought, “The
World’s Most Weather-Beaten
Cowboy” one year, and “'The
World’s Driest Rancher” another,
may think that the Cattlemen have
had a change 6f heart, but, says
Andrews, “We’re just going to let
big Alaska have her say . . . We
just want to show off Texas to
an Alaskan.”

Washington Governor Asks
President To Help Curb
Japanese Salmon Fishing
OLYMPIA, UP) — Governor Ros
ellini called on President Eisen
hower Tuesday to help curb Jap
anese salmon fishing in the Pacific
Ocean.
In a night letter to the Presi
dent, the Governor said:
“The uncontrolled net fishing
of the Japanese fishermen on the
high seas is threatening this im
portant fishery with extinction.”
“It has forced the closure of
Bristol Bay fishing and undoubt
edly has reduced stocks headed
for other streams and rivers of
the Pacific Coast. The Bristol Bay
closure in itself is a severe shock
to the economy of the Pacific
Northwest.”
“For three-fourths of a century
the salmon runs have supplied us
with an annual wealth of the fin
| est canned salmon,” Rosellini
stated.
i “We have distributed the catch
throughout the world.”
“For a number of years Amer
ican fishing has been restricted
so as to supply an adequate spawn.
Unfortunately, our efforts are
being nullified by the Japanese.” j
“They not only take the mature j
salmon on the high seas, but they '
also take immature stock, which
is detrimental to the runs for one
or two years hence.”
“We here on the Pacific Coast
respectfully urge you to supply |
the strong leadership that will be !
necessary to preserve this tre- ]
. mendously valuable fishery with- j
out upsetting trade relations,” the
I Governor said.
He noted that both the House of |
' Representatives and the Senate
j currently have before them bills
j that would reduce the imports of
j Japanese-caught salmon.
Then there was the clever cat
I that ate cheese and breathed
j down the rat hole with baited
I breath.

State Employes’ Annual
Leave Would Be Cut To
15 Days In House Action
JUNEAU, Of! — The House voted
25-12 Monday to cut the annual
leave of Alaska’s 1,000 employes
from 30 to 15 days, but Anchor
age Democrat James Fisher served
notice to reconsider his vote and
the bill will probably be brought
up again.
The vote came on an emend
ment to a bill prohibiting state
employes from receiving payment
for compensatory time. The Sen
ate had passed the measure ear
lier.
The House added an amendment
to reduce the vacation allowance
from 2Vi> to 1V4 days a month.
Supporters of the original bill
criticized the practice of some
state employes who quit their
jobs and were still able to collect
pay for several weeks because of
compensatory time they had
built up. #
