EIGHT JURORS ARE SELECTED, "MERCY
 KILLING" CASE

MANCHESTER NH, Feb. 21- tR-A British-born iuror-the oldest of nine seated so far in the Sander mercy killing" trial-was dismissed today after the prosecution raised a belated challenge.
 Council for Dr. Herman s. San der offered no objections to re- moving 72-year- Albert Baines, a retired Manchester Gas Company employee who came to this country about 40 years ago.
 Baines-a Presbyterian-was one of three Protestants among the first nine jurors chosen yesterday to try Sander on a charge of murder for pumping air into a hopeless cancer patient to end her suffering.
 After a conference of an hour and a quarter with defense counsel and prosecutors, Judge Harold E. Wes- colt returned to the courtroom to announce:
 ''The state has requested the right to challenge the last juror seated yesterday. The defense offered no objections. The request is granted."i
 The reason for the states request was not explained
 With Baines' removal, eight jurors remained seated and five more were to be chosen. Of the eight picked six are Roman Catholics.

PUERTO RICO WANTS TO BE STATE, TOO,
 BUT KEEPING QUIET

HONOLULU. Feb. 21-R-Puerto Rico would like to be a state, but is soft-pedaling the issue at pre- sent to avoid hindering the chances of Hawaii and Alaska, Puerto Rican Emissary said today.
 He is Jesus Pinero, former Gov ernor of Puerto Rico, who is in Honolulu to attend the celebrations this week marking the 50th anni- versary of the arrival of Puerto Ricans in Hawaii
 of course we want stsoehood, J Pinero told reporters, but we, are anxiously waiting to see what hap pens in Hawaii first
 We have strong hopes that Ha- waii will get statehood, because that likely will have favorable influ- ence on our own statehood hopes Meanwhile we are preparing for statehood obligations by making ourselves as self-sufficient as pos sible.'
 Some 275 members of the Hono- lulu Puerto Rican community wei comed Pinero with dinner-dance last night.

RED CRABS THREAT. TO COAST INDUSTRY, CONGRESS WARNED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l- R = Rep. Mack (R-Wash) told the House today that imports of canned Russian crab meat will wreck the Pacific Coast crab industry unless they are stopped
 He said in a statement for the Congressional Record, that 15,00O cases of Russian crab meat, worth half million dollars, were brought into Seattle last week.
 This crab meat was caught by Russians in Russian waters, by Russian workers and was canned by Russian workers" Mack said. If the importations continue, and there is every reason. to believe it will continue under our free trade practices, our Pacific Coast crab industry will be knocked into a cooked hat"
 Mack recalled that prior to Pearl Harbor Japan furnished 85 percent of the crab meat sold in this coun- try. Since the war, he said, the Japanese fishing waters have been turned over to the Russians.
 American crab fishermen can rot compete with the low wages and the low standard of living of Russia" Mack continued

Alaska is the center of keener interest and appreciation in Wash ington than I've ever encountered n the capital before, and it isn't 1nly from the point of view of de- fense." Dr. c. Earl Albrecht, Terri torial Commissioner of Health, stated upon his return here today.
 Reactions of hearings committees on bills for the Arctic Institute ot Health and other health matters were extremely favorable" Dr. AL brecht said.
 He was called to Washington the first week of February to present information about the proposed work of an Arctic Institue of Health as a research center at the Univer- sity of Alaska Dr. Albrecht pre- sented his report to members of the subcommittee of the House ap- propriations committee.
 Also appearing before the Com mittee on Resolution No 403, for general health, welfare and voca- tional rehabilitation, he said that reaction there was also favorable" :"
 Conferences with federal authori- ties brought assurance of more funds for both tuberculosis control and .venereal disease. control programs for next fiscal year, the commissioner said.
 He said that conference with Senators Taft, Douglas and Elberi Thomas, members of the committee handling health legislation, demon- strated a gratifying realization and appreciation of Alaska's health problems which have been accumu- lating through the first neglected decades in the territory"
 Dr. Albrecht and Hugh J. Wade, deputy regional director of the Fed eral Security Agency in Alaska, were the territory's representatives to the Hl HlC-COitiCi CilSC iiOSUiAS Oi oodcS delegates on the mid-century White House Conference for Children and Youth which is to take place in De- cehber.

MARINES ExplAEN
 THEIR EXER(.SES
 OFF ALEUTEhnS

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Feb. 2l-lR- |aThe Aleutian Islands were in enemy hands and the Pacific coast was under atomic air attack.
 This was the imaginary situation conceived as a background for Ma r!ne Corps airborne maneuvers in this area recently
 The First Division Marines from Camp Pendleton which engaged ln the snaneuver of retaking an island off this coast was under theoretical intensified training to. resist the attack from the north.
 A Camp Pendleton explanation on the imaginary atomic war today dis closed today that:
 Two enemy divisions, reinforced by engineer and construction units had attacked and captured the US Aleutian bases at Attu, Kiska, Adak and Dutch Harbor
 Atomic attacks had been launched against installations at Bremerton Wash, and Mare Isand, Calf, Navy yards and against aircraft industries in Southern California.
 The enemy forces were supposed to have not less than 100 troop carrying submarines and about 5Ot long range troop-carrying craft
 Training to meet such an emer- gency situation will be continued by the First Marines, the Camp Pendleton release said,

EXTRA 2,5o0 FEET
 ON AIRPORT ASKED
 BY PAN AM BOARD

An extension of 2,500 feet to the present 5000 foot runway at the Juneau airport was recommended today by a Pan American World Airways board after investigation of a minor accident Sunday to a company DC-4.
 Ralph Savory, Pan Americans chief rilot for the Alaska region. chairman of the four-man board, said preventative measures would be taken to prevent any recurrence of such accidents.
 A PA Clipper, southbcund from Fairbanks, dipped over the run ways end when unable to stop because of icy conditions on the field. None of the ships 35 pass engers CT crew of five were injur- ed
 A Civil Aeronautics Administra- tion one-man investigation was carried on by Fred G. Powell of Anchorage. He left for his head quarters before he could be reach- ed for comment.
 Savory recommended the eXten- sion be made by building of 200 foot wide i'll at the east, CT town end" of the airport, and that the runway be 150 feet wide, thus giY- irg the addition ample shoulder room.
 Among preventative measures Sa- vory mentioned was a marker of sEluce boughs or other material to establish a point on the runway beyond which it would be unsafe for large shiE to touch it's wheels when first landing.
 Tn addition, he said extreme care will be taken in critical tenn perature range of 28 to 31 degrees temperature, to have absolute as- surance of braking action before attempting landing"
 Everyone concerned" he said, was very fortunate that the air craft sustained only minor damage largely due to the excellent hand ling by a veteran Alaska pilot Capt. Dick Hawley.
 "The major contributing factor" he explained was combination of wind and temperature, with the latter at a critical point. Snow and ice covering the runway made it extremely slippery in a way not apparent to the ground personnel .'
 Slight damage was incurred to the planes fuselage in the after portion, where it struck a caiss of ice on the tideflats.
 The chief pilot also recommended a wind sock at either end of tie runway, so the pilot may have the true picture" of wind conditions.
 Savory and the three accompany ing him arrived yesterday and are due to go outside today. Others are Donald F. True, operations en- gineer, Stanley Moy. superintendent of aircraft line service, both of San Francisco, and Earl Lee of Seattle, representing the Airline Pilots Association.

NEW BIOLOGIST TO STUDY ALASkA'S
 "NEGLECTED FLsH''

Alaska's neglected fish" will soor get the attention of an experienced fisheries biologist.
 He is Robert R. Parker, who was until a few days ago assistant tc the chief biologist of the Wosning- ton State Department of Fisheries The neglected fish" he will study are the troll salmon-silvers and kings-and bottom fish including black cod.
 Parker arrived in Juneau vester- day.
 His work with the Washington State Fisheries Department has pre- pared him well for his work with the Territorial Department, according to c. L. Anderson director of the Territorial Fisheries Department.
 As a member of the Washington State Fisheries Department re- search staff he has been carrying out studies of bottom fish and troll salnon-their migration habits and how they get along with their neighbors in the sea.
 That's what we're interested in, :" Anderson said today And that's why we stole Parker from the Wash ington State Department Of Fish cries"
 He said studies of bottom fish and troll salmon in Alaska have been neglected by the Fish and Wildlife Service and by the Inter- national Fisheries Commission.
 Most of Alaska's resident fisher men are in these types of fisheries, he declared. T feel that the small amount the Territorial Department of Fisheries gets for research should be spent in finding facts which Will directly benefit Aiaska's resident fishermen"
 In the past, Parker has studied pink and red salmon as well as troll caught salmon and bottom fish.
 A graduate of the University of Washington school of fisheries. he spent three seasons on the Bristol Bay red salmon. fishing grounds and one season atsthe Fish and Wildlife Service pink salmon station at Little Port Walter.
 He spent one year as special tech nician with the University of Wash ineton Department of Zoology.
 Parker brought with him to Alaska news of the latest idea III fish-packing. He said two young men have made a successful busi- ness in Seattle of packing crab meat in plastic containers. The colorful legs of the crabs are packed around the edges of the clear plastic container and the meat is packed in the center. Top and bottom of the container are tin.
 Packed this way, the 'crabAeat goes like hotcakes," he said.
 The men are branching from crab packing into the packing of tiileted sole and rockfish. These are packed with the colorful side out and the product sells itself, he said.
 He said the products marketed m the new container are packed fresh and shipped in ice to their destina- tion.

WEA.D WEST CHORUS, THIRD GRADE SIZE, ENTEpTAlNS ROTARY

l In old-fashioned dresses or cow boy outfits complete with six-shoot- CTS. the 37 singers at the Rotary Club meeting today looked like a chorus from "Oklahcma" sealed down to third grade size. i No theatre audience ever gave the popular musical show more Irescunding applause than did Ro- arians in the Baranof Gold Room and the gallery of admiring par ants who crowded the double doors
 nto the lounge
 By request, the third graders re- peated the most popular number Single Saddles" dedicated, as a young voice informed the club, ito bachelor members of the Rotary Club"
 Miss Pat Murphy, who accom- panied her young students, was re-
 ponsible for their clever interpreta- lions in four harmonica numbers three songs and square dancing.
 Gil Eide had arranged for the rrogram last month, and Ellis Rey- holds was chairman for the per foImance today.
 Song Leader Eric Newbould, with James McNaughton at the piano, directed Rotarians, then third grad CTS, then both groups, in vigorous version of school Days" Returning to business matters af- ter the youngsters left for school, i President Boh Akervick named 13 Rotarians to spearhead the indi- vidual solicitation to complete the present fund campaign for the Ju- neau Memorial Library.

 Asked to speak on the same sub feet, Chairman B. Frank Heintzle- man asked visitor, B. D. Stewart, to "carry the ball" Stewart com- mented with satisfaction on results thus far, and urged the importance cf completing the drive for the Sl2,000 yet to go. He recalled a deplorable incident during his ser vice es mayor of Juneau, when library was even nearer realiza- ton. and the project was allowed to fail. The Library Committee numbers Heintzleman, Stewart and Dr. James c. Ryan.
 Another committee chairman, T. A. Morgan, asked member, Stan Gummett, to report for him. Grummett gleefully reported a pro- l fit of s5.37 cn the Valentine party last Saturday.
