(By Bob DeArmand)

among the 40 legislators who con- vene at Juneau on January g for the 20th session of the Alaska Territorial Legislature.
 Twelve members of the House of Representatives and two mem hers of the Senate will be serving in their first session at Juneau.
 This is a smaller proportion of green hands than in the last three regular session. In 1947 and 1949 there were IS freshmen" in the House and in 1945 there were 18. In l949 the Senate had two fresh mem legislators. the same num- Der as there will be in 1851. In each 1945 and 1947 there were three newcomers.
 Politically, the Territorial Sem ate will be divided 8-8, while the House will be divided 15-1O or IA. g, depending upon the outcome of the Fourth Division election. At this writing Alden Wilbur, Repub- lican, and Thomas A. Jones, Dem- ocrat, are in a tie for the fifth seat from that division. A Tipped coin may ultimately resolve the tie.
 The following are the people who will sit in what many Alaskans believe may be the last Alaska Territorial Lepislature
