a beautiful blonde dancer plunged
nude today from her fifth-floor
room in a midtown hotel.

struggle and the talent that had

bathroom when she did it. She
just waved her hand. yelled
goodbye and then. then she
went out the window"
Earlier, he had told another

him as saying he was sitting on
the bed when the girl plunged
from the window without a word
In the room, police found a
deed to a plot in Mt. Moriah

thought it was for a grave in
which the girls mother was

Since it has come to our attention, that some persons have been seen in dangerous proximity to the Alaska Juneau Mine work ings, we are taking this occasion to warn the public against near approach to the workings.
 All the workings are on private property, quite some distance from any public road; trespassers thereon are in danger from blast ing and from caving ground.
 Approaches to the workings have been posted with trespass notices but some notices may be covered with snow. Therefore, the public is warned, whether or not they see notice, against going into the vicinity of the open pits or the extension thereof, particularly in the Icy Gulch area.
 It is hoped that this warning will be heed ed by all, thereby making any trespass pro- ceedings unnecessary.

A Fed eral Court threw out part of the price schedule early in February on the grounds the Commission in its December haste had failed to al- low hearings on the price schedule So the Commission repealed the whole schedule late in February to start over.
 Meantime, in January, the four to-three schism had healed. The Commission began putting it's own house in order by shaking off some of it's patronage fat. It had hit a top enrolment of 1900 employees. About 150 have been dropped and more are going.
 The January deficit was cut by S15,000 in February. Members hope to cut it in half in March and end the fiscal year with mild balance
 A new price schedule is being worked out and hearings will be held to suit orders of the court.
 Privately members expect they still will have to face a Supreme Court test of the constitutionality of the whole act.
