Kangaroos Make
Fourth Win 36 to 35
By HERB WILLIAMS
The Kangas Kangaroos ran
their win streak to four in a row
at the hands of the Williams
Whizkids as they edged their ri
vals in a close one 36-35. The Al
umni Girls evened their series
against the High School Girls in
another exciting game 39-36.
The Kangaroos were never be
hind in their tilt as they led
throughout the battle 7-4, 20-12
and 36-35.
During the first half, it was all
Kangaroos who dominated the
backboards and hit most of their
attempted shots. In the second
half, especially through the final
quarter, the Whizkids rallied and
Corky Kost tied the game at 32-32
with two minutes to play.
The remainder of the game was
run, pass and shoot until Willie
Willoya was fouled in the closing
seconds and missed the first shot,
but calmly dropped the second
one through to give the Kangar
oos their fourth straight win over
the Whizkids.
For the winners, Willoya 13,
Dave Bell 11, Sam Atuk 7, and
Glen Tate 5. For the losers: Geo.
Kost 16, Vic Karmun 10, Chuckie
Fagerstrom 5, Doug Cabinboy 4.
The two girls’ teams put on
quite a game in the second half
of the doubleheader which wasn’t
decided until the final period. The
Alumni led throughout the first
half 12-10 and 17-16, but Coach
Hana Ross’ team came back strong
in the third period to pull ahead
26-23. During the final quarter,
the lead changed hands five times
as both teams fought vainly for
the win. Marge Hay clinched the
game with a basket when there
was five seconds left to play, giv
ing the Alumni the win 39-36 to
tie the series at two games each.
Marge Hay was high scorer for
the Alumni with 14, Beatrice Lee
11, Vera Huff 8, Lois Swanberg6.
For the High School: Madeline
Piscoya 14, Marge Willoya and
Julia Brown 10 each, and Beatrice
Havercamp 2.
Other Alumni that saw action
were Blanche Fern, Wanda Beltz
and Reba Tungwenuk. For the
High School, Edith Morton, Jeri
Fagerstrom, Joan Longley, Diane
Swanberg and Ruth Nershak.

Tax Exemption Day
For New Industries
In Terri. House
By JIM HUTCHESON
JUNEAU, (A*) — It was tax ex
emption day for new industries in
the Territorial House of Repre
sentatives Friday.
Two measures were approved
which propose a special three and
one-half year income tax exemp
tion for new industries for devel
opment of Alaska’s natural' re
sources.
One proposes exemption from
Alaska’s income tax and the
other is a memorial to Congress j
asking a similar exemption from
income tax.
The bill to exempt new indus
tries from the territorial tax for
three and one-half years from the
time of first production would
apply to any industry which was
not in production at the start of
this year so the Ketchikan pulp
plant, which is now under con
struction, would qualify.
The memorial to Congress stated
that development of Alaska would
be of great national benefit and
the “elimination of taxes is a
most available and expedient in
centive to investment of risk cap
ital.”
Helicopter for Nome
The Senate approved memorials
asking: stationing of a Coast
Guard unit with a float-equipped
helicopter at Nome for life-sav
ing purposes; to build a highway
from Lost River via Nome and
mineral deposits to the Alcan
Highway; to build a Healy-Ne
nana-Fairbanks road; and to seek
liberalization of federal land law
policies.
The Senate passed a bill appro
priating $275,000 to repay bank
ers and individuals who loaned
money for finishing the Territor
ial Office Building in Juneau.
Another would allow United
States commissioners to grant
marriage licenses to males under
18 if a doctor recommends the
marriage to a minor girl.
A bill was introduced in the
Senate to establish a military
code, providing for all details of
National Guard operations. It pro
vides for the governor to call out
the guard in case of any public
emergency but specifically for
bids its use against labor organ
izations or for the purpose of
strike breaking.

Hollywood Model Put on
Probation for Nude Posing
SANTA ANA, Calif., WV-Holly
wood Model Inga Borg has been
placed on probation for two years
after being given a 30-day suspen
ded sentence Friday on conviction
at lewd and lascivious conduct.
“She is a victim of one of the
oldest routines in Hollywood—the
casting couch routine,” said Su
perior Judge Robert Gardner. “I
think she did it because she was
promised a lot, and which many
people do a lot to obtain.”
In her trial she testifed that she
posed willingly for Photographer
Richard A. Mitman, 34, with
whom she was convicted, because
he threatened her with violence.
The charges against Miss Borg,
whose real name is Ingeborg
Schnitcler, were based on 72 nude
pictures taken in a Laguna Beach
motel last Sept. 20.
Mitman has been committed to
the Norwalk State Hospital for 90
days observation.
Prostitution was connected with
the worship of many ancient gods
and was often practiced in tem
ples.
