$4,000 SCHOLARSHIP TO BE
AWARDED BY PIONEER GROU

The Pioneers of Alaska, Igloo
No. /, Fairbanks, have voted a
scholarship OF $3.50 for a student
attending the University of Alas
ka, according to an announcement
made by DR.. Terris Moore, presi-
dent of the University. This schol-
arship is being presented in men,
DRY of the late Richard c. Rothen-
burg, former secretary of Igloo No.
4, who passed away early this sum-
mer. 1t is to be given to any
worthy son or daughter of a pio-
neer of Alaska, according to the
conditions conveyed to the Univer-
sity by letter received from c. j.
Wootter, present secretary of Igloo
No. 4, and is to be known as the
Richard c. ROthenburg Memorial
Scholarship.
This is the first of such scholar
ships to be presented to the UNI
Versity by the Pioneers, but it may
be the beginning of a new era in
memorial scholarships honoring tn
Pioneers of Alaska.
The man after whom this schol-
arship is named, Richard c. Roth
snburg, was an outstanding man
and true Alaskan. He was born in
Germany, but migrated with his
family to the United States at an
early age. With the discovery of
gold in the Klondike he came north
over the Chilkoot Pass to Dawson.
After doing some prospecting in
the 40 Mile Country, he joined the
stampede to Nome, mushing all the
way from Eagle. Leaving that sec
ton of the country, he came to
Fairbanks when gold was discoV-
cred in that area.
In 1871, also in his early sew
entities, he was called back to his
trade by Ladd Air Force Base to

Huge Crowd To Do
Homage To Carver
On His Memorial Day
BY ROB ROY RATLIFF

JOPLIN, Mo. - (ANP) - Educa-
tors, government and civic officials
and the plain people he loved so well
turned out in this southwest Mis-
souri, community last week to honor
one of the nations greatest scien-
fists, DIR. George Washington Carver.
There was a special reverence Of
silence as the group viewed the old
farmhouse where the scientific lead
err was born. 1t is part Of rather
large farm area set midst the zinc
and lead mines near Diamond, Mo.
Many tributes to the late DR.. Car
yer were made at the long ceremon-
les attended by more than 100 Off
cial representatives of civic and So
cial groups of he four-state area
here.
An unsegregated group from Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Arkansas. as we'll as
from Missouri met to hear principal
addresses from the mayor and civ
&c leaders of Joplin, view a parade
and participate in a pilgrimage to
DR.. Carver's birthplace, soon to bear
a national shrine honoring him.
1t was all part of a specially
planned observance Carver Day"
DIR. Sherman d. Scruggs. presi-
dent of Lincoln university in JEFF
ferson City, praised DR.. Carver's
success in finding the true values
of life. He stated that Missouri IS
proud to have been the soil and
commonwealth in which so distin-
guished a citizen was born.
I'VE congratulate Tuskegee insti-
tute. the nation and the world for
giving DIR. Carver a laboratory and
the open spaces of the earth for
communion with the creation of
things useful to man." DIR. Scruggs
related.
Recalling an incident in the sci.
entist's life. the speaker said that
when DR.. Carver was once challeng.
ed to stop teaching White students
at Tuskegee. the peanut-wonder man
replied:
knowledge was freely given to
me why should I withhold It? ]
am happy to share 1t with whom.
ever can use it for the benefit Of
mankind"

Jurors Action In
Mallard Case Stirs
Lawyers Of Nation

CHICAGO - (ANpl The un-
usual action in the Mallard case in
Lyons. Ga. in which two jurors got
on the witness stand and spoke in
favor of the defense has stirred UP
the legal minds Of the nation.
General consensus. however is
that such action Is LEGAL. although
practically never practiced outside
the south. In most states. 1t is
agreed. when a juror is sworn in he
is asked to declare that he has no
prejudices in the case.
IF he knows something about the
case that should be brought out in
the trial. usually one of the attor-
neys challenges him, and he does
not become a Juror.
In Chicago legal experts were
Shocked" to learn of the proceed
ings In the Mallard case. States
Atty. Boyle said:
obviously there is one law for
the White man and one for Negroes
in Georgia. Thank God there are
not two sets OF laws in Illinois"
Emory J. Smith. chairman Of the
Chicago Bar association committee
on criminal law, branded the action
as revolving to our sense Of JUS
tice."
New York attorneys agreed that
such action is legal under state laws,
but added that it was not likely to
happen because of the attorneys
rights to question prospective Jurors
before they are sworn in.
