 FROM ALASKA IN
 SOUTH IN pARKAS

SEATTLE, Nov 24.-R-Three Alaska high-school pupils, the Ter ritory's delegation to the National All Club Congress in Chicago next week, stopped off in Seattle looking very Alaskan in parkas and muk- luks-the first they eyer had worn.
 Eldest of the three is Flo Alice Dinkel of Wasilla, IT years old The far north attire she wore was her own, having been given to her by an Anchorage fur shop just be- fore she left for outside
 Flo Alice's boy companions, Lynn Sandvk of Palmer and Richard Dangler of Seward, each Is, wore borrowed parkas and mukluks, how ever.
 They wanted us to wear them, Richard explained, a trifle sheep ishly
 Its colder here today than it was when we left Alaska" Flo Al ice said.
 The ccld-weather clothing pro- baby was welcome, at that, as the visitors sat in the November chill at the University of Washington Stadium for the University-Wash- ington State College game.
 It was the first football game Flo Alice had seen. She has lived in Alaska since she was 6 years old. Richard used to see games be- fore his family moved to Seward four years ago. and Lynn has seen Army teams play in Alaska.
 Lynn won his Chicago trip as a member of a garden club, and Rl- chald belongs to a poultry club and Flo Alice to a clothing club. Lynn's S garden was the big money-maker, the youth having cleared $500 on his products, mostly potatoes and celery, this year. Richards outlets Just are beginning to lay-at Sl.lO a dozen.
 Tine club members are accompan- jed by Mrs. Robinson, home demon- stration agent for southeast Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Rl- Quadruple trouble built up for Maj. Gen. Bennett K. Meyers today as a possible new Senate inquiry threat ened uneasy moments for many others whose idle cash went Joy ridinp" on wartime Government bones.
 TnA quoted words are those of Senator Tobey (R-NH). He hinted that his Senate Banking Commit tee may take up where the War In vestgatlng Committee left off after disclosures which brought denun- cations of the retired Air Force General ranging from rotten ap- ole" to snake"
 Grand Juries To Act
 First. however, Federal Grand Juries here and elsewhere were due to hear review of testimony in which Meyers was accused of hold ing aircraft stocks and pocketing profits from his own secretly own ed sub-contracting firm while De- puty Chief of Air Force purchasing. Specifically, Attorney General Clark said the Governments ob- jectlve will be to indict Meyers on charges of war fraud, perjury and income tax evasion.
 Still fourth question remains to be answered: whether the two star officer will be ordered back into uniform to face a court mar tial
 M litary Trial
 Meyers wartime boss, General of the Army H. H. Arnold, revived speculation ever a possible military trial lust before the War lnVesti- eat,nq Committees hearings came to an abrupt close Saturday.
 The last of a parade of witnesses who accused the dapper Meyers of falsehoods, Arnold declared.
 "The penalty for a false official
  ground for a court martial
 Perjury Cited
 He was referring to Meyers an- swer to an official l943 question nalre inquiring whether top pur- chasing officers held any aviation stocks.
 Meyers replied at the time he held none. But a committee inves- tigator testified that the Generals account showed he had some $35,- | GOO worth.
 While the possibility of separ- ate investigation into speculative dealings in Government bonds was pointed up by the Meyers hearings, Tohey told a reporter he has had the matter under study for six months.

JIM KLEIN TAXES
 FIRST PLACE IN
 ANTLER CONTEST

Jim Klein, young Juneau man now in his sophomore year at Washington State College. has been announced the winner of the ant Ter contest sponsored by Darnells Sport Center
 The winning set was taken on Douglas Island during the first week of the hunting season. Ac- cording to the standards of the Boone and Crockett Club of Amer ica, Klein's set rated a total of 94ls points.
 Honorable mention in the con- test goes to Jim Mccormick, stu dent at Douglas High School, whose antlers taken near Point Bishop totaled 93i4 points.
 kleins winning antlers this year are a smaller set than those which won the same contest last year. That set had a total of 102 points. or 77s points more than the prize set this year.
 Don Black won the prize for the most symmetrical antlers, with a set that measured only 1l16 of an inch off Blacks were taken on Glass Peninsula, and are rated a much better set than those taken by the Rev. Herman Beyer which won last years symmetry award.
 The prize for freak antlers goes to c. H. Donahue. His buck, a three pointed, was apparently struck on the left side of his head when the horns were still in the velvet.
 The blow, when may have been administered by a bear, was so hard that the skull was caved in: and although strangely the deer did not die, it's left horn is a ; heavy, bony nubbin growing out and downward from the depres- sion in the skull
 Buck Harris explained this morn- ing that. spread and thickness of horn is but one basis of judg- ment in deciding which set of antlers in a contest is the larg- est.
 The procedure followed is to take the right and left horn separately First, the circumference of the burr is measured on the right horn then the length of the main beam, the length of the main tine, the length of the second tine and that of the eye guard i The same measurements are taken on the left horn, and each set of measurements is added, and the two totals subtracted to get , the difference between the right and left horns.
 After measuring the full spread iof the antlers, that figure is add ed to the total for left and right horns, then the penalty for varia- tion is subtracted before the final rigure is arrived at.
 Following are the complete mea- surements and figures taken on the prize winning set turned in by Jim Klein. All measurements are in inches and eights of inches: R. Horn L. Horn
