COWBOYS WIN SECOND NCAA COURT CROWN
Foothills KurIand Is Tour neI's Outstanding
 Player

NEW YORK, March 27.-Hank Rba, 42-year-old coach of the on, school to win the NCAA basketball crown two straight years, believes his present Oklahoma A. and M aggr sgation is even better than his dream" five of last year which won the NCAA title and went cn ]. to defeat DePaul for the national ] championship.
 In vanQuishing a strong North Carolina quintet 43-40 at Madison Square Garden last night before 98,479 fans. the Aggie scored their 18th consecutive conquest and clos ed the season with q record of 3l victories in B games.
 Seven-foot Bob Kurland provided a majority of the points. The red haired giant center hooped g to raise his season record total to 643 points. His 72-point total in three NCAA clashes not only earned him the award as the outstanding play CT in the tournament, but enabled |
 |fhim to pass Elmore Moranthaler Of New Mexico Mines as the nations top collegiate scorer.
 Of this years personnel, Kur- land, Weldon Kern, Blake Williams and J. L. Parks were on last years array, but the addition ot Sam Aubrey, Joe Bradley and the return of J. L. Bonnet after three years in the Army gave the Aggies much stronger reserves than last yoar.

TO THE VOTERS OF ALASKA AND MEMBERS OF THE ALASKA LEGISLATURE
 COMMUNICATION

Editcr of the Daily Alaska Empire ;
 I will be pleased if you will pre- cent my versicn of reply to JUL LIAN A. HURLEY in your last evenings paper In which he takes to task those members of the AL aska Legislature for voting against the passage of Direct election of National Committeeman and Dele gates to the National Conventions, feel they should be congratulated
 Why should Alaska be different from the States of the United States in matters of this kind? What States in the United States have any such law: I know of 47 States that do not have such law as MT. Hurley and others want en- acted in Alaska. Oregon only has a preference vote The naming of National Committeeman and Dele gates to a Convention is looked up- on as Party honor for work done for the Party, MT. Hurley nor none of those whom supported such a bill to my knowledge can claim any such distinction and from a Republican standpoint and I have the list I fail to ever find there names on lists of Contributors to the Republican Party.
 The National Committeeman and Delegates pay their own expenses to National Conventions, should they also be forced to enter an election and spend more money to be elected in Alaska just for the horor again of representing the party they belong to or is it enough they pay their own way to Conventions.
 MT. Hurley and supporters of this Measure should go back through the years as to why this lew was changed, it was because John w. Frame, q Democrat ran for the Office of Republican National Com mittee and was elected Protests were filed and he was never seated hy the upheavel caused the failure of two United States Judges and one United States Attorney to be re-appointed because they were aiding protests filed against Frame, this and the further reason that large sums of money was expended by certain parties ill electing the National Committeeman in Alaska and Delegates to Conventions caused as I recall it the passage of this law It's my honest opinion that when large sums of money are expended that Primary can be more or less controlled. Those who favored Primaries are now turning against them. We have in the Alaska Primaries voters who vote in one Party primary one time another the next time and many of those same people are new talking Sr3L. controlled Con-

ventions and etc
 The law of the Conventions are that the Delegates to the National Conventions elect the National Committeeman. a law passed by The Alaska Legislature would only be a violation of Convention Law. and it would be up to a National Convention to decide which to fol- low the Alaska Law or the Con- vention law, does MT. Hurley feel it would be fair to kick Contri- butors and workers out and put in those who only see at what they think Victory ahead or does he think that those who have worked, contributed. talked for their cause be given some preference as over the case I cited when John w. Frame, a Democrat became the head of the Republican Party in Alaska, when we had Direct Elec- tions of this office.
 lAieiChd WOAAtA bC well off if it passed fewer laws. It's the continual tinkering of our laws. that is making it uncertain for mining, fishing, businessmen. Residents and those who have funds invested in Alaska know just where they are at. and the un- certainly of all of this will be re- flected in the future.
 I don't think MT. Hurley's state :nent on Statehood has any bearing on the case as far as I know. The Republican Party is not favoring # at this time Nationally and the Democratic Committee that visited us last summer has announced they also do not favor it.
 Usually when one wants to get lid of a Political Organization in the manner MT Hurley implied--its because they fear the Organization n power will not give them any

Borough Board Meeting

Although the Borough Board, al their meeting Wednesday night, de- clined to approve departmental pay increases, It's members did accept many increases for improved fire department equipment,
 A request for @ $l75 appropria- ton to purchase breathing ap- paratus for the protection of the firemen was approved. The hydrant budget was also hiked from 5000 to Sl0,000, and Fire Chief John J Sheridan's estimate of $500 for fire boxes was doubled to $l,200.
 The fire chief was granted a transportation allowance of $360 The only expense allowances he had been provided with previously were for gas and oil. The allowance was granted with the purpose in view of making 1t 1t commensurate with the amount of travelling the fire chief was forced to do in the dis charge of his duties.
 one peculiarity of the grant, however, is that $500 of the amount allowed the chief as transportation expenses was taken from the item for gas and oil which is now $l00 instead of $400.
 The registrars of voters, Henry zwick and Cyril 'Tuohy, were al- lowed $530 appropriation to have a house canvass to perfect the vot- ing lists. This canvass is con- ducted in accordance with state law which prescrlbes that they must visit every home in town. This ap- propriation did not embrace the pay increase sought by the regis trars of voters.
