ALA5kA WOMAN
 LAWYER B00SIS
 FOR STATEHOOD

SEATTLE, Sept. 8-LR--Mrs F. E. Stangl. who goes by her professional name of Dorothy D. Tyner. as the only woman lawyer in Anchorage, Alaska, was in Seattle yesterday as delegate to the American Bar Con- vention.
 But her big interest was in pro- noting statehood for Alaska. Miss Tyner Believes that Alaska defense is dependent upon an increased population and the increased popu- lation will come only through state hood.
 She pointed out that with state- hood, Alaska would come under the Federal Highway Act, which would give Alaska the roads that are nec- essary if the Territory is to grow She also said the Federal Govern ment held too much land and Alas ka was in the position of begging her rights rather than demanding them through representative in Congress

BERLIN, Sept. 8.--R-- Russian tommy gunners and Soviet sector police kidnapped l9 Western sec tor police today, after the Soviet Commandant had guaranteed them safe passage from Berlins besieged city hall.
 They were taken from a French convoy at the Lustgarten, only a few blocks from the city hall which is in the Soviet sector of this divided, blockaded city.
 AS the l9 policemen and Ger man photographer were tumbled into a Russian truck to be haul ed away French officer protest ed that the Russians were pull ing some funny business
 Plain Double Cross
 You mean this is a plain double cross, don't you?" asked an Ameri- can reporter.
 Yes" snapped the Frenchman.
 The Germans release from the encircled city hall had been nego- tiated by the French
 United States authorities are try ing to reach the Russian Con- mandant, Maj. Gen. Alexander Kotikovr to protest the Kidnapping Official French sources also said they would protest.
 Second Serious Episode
 This was the second serious epi- sode within three deYs affectine Allied relations, but the first ma for incident in the civil warfare between the rival East and West factions of Berlin's divided police force.
 The Kidnapping climaxed the fam tastic Soviet blockade within a blockade which began after Com munist demonstrators forced the city assembly to move from the city hall to the protection of the British sector in order to convene.
 lS Dragged Away
 Originally, 46 Western secret police were cornered in the build- ing. After the Soviet-controlled police invaded the American liaison office Monday night and dragged away 19 of them, 27 remained holed up on the French and British liai- son offices to avoid arrest.
 AS the siege continued, eight of the Western sector police were snuggled out of city ball. The Soviet licensed pscss claimed, how ever, three of these were caught climbing over the wall behind the building.
