Wife of Alaska Air Fore Man Stabbed tc Death

HERMOSA BEACH. Calf, Oct. 1 -R-A Marine corporal only two days out of the service was held today on suspicion of murder in the stabbing of 43-year-old house. wife.
 He was William Rogers Steward, 29, of Stockham, Neb., who was discharged only Saturday morning at Camp Pendleton, Calif. He was a corporal.
 The victim was Mrs. Miriam Ev- elyn Lake, mother of a nine-year- old son. Jackson. Police said her husband, Jack Lake, is in air force service in Alaska.
 Police Sgt. Bill Hard said 12- year-old boy, Charles Pratt, came to the police Saturday night with a story of how, while playing near the Lake residence, he heard a woman's scream, saw a man run from the house and then peaked in a window and saw the woman's body.
 A knife was in her back and she was lying face down in pool of blood.
 Shortly thereafter police in nearby Torrance chased a car speeding at upwards of 90 miles an hour. It crashed. They arrested Stewart and he was returned here, later to be placed in a hospital ward. He suffered only minor injuries.
 Detectives said Steward and an unidentified Marine pal came here from Camp Pendleton, then stop ped at another friends home adja- cent to Mrs. Lakes apartment.
 Apparently Steward met Mrs. Lake and a celebration began of his discharge and her birthday, which was also Saturday. Officers said that after hours of questioning Steward declared he could not re- member what happened.
 Steward served seven years in the Marine Corps, including a year in Korea.

Letters To the Editor:
TO THE EDITOR:

TO THE EDITOR:
 These are the suggestions have to put an end to this ab- sentee monopoly.
 That the Legislature at it's session this winter pass bill making it mandatory for the operators of a Fish Trap to be a resident of Alaska for mini mum of ten months each year. In the case of a corporation, that fifty-one per cent or more of the stockholders be residents of ten months standing each year.
 The bill should be written so no individual or company could use dummies or proxies.
 I feel sure that some of our new Legislators feel just as strongly as I do about this un- fair and discriminatory Fish Trap deal and I feel sure they will do everything possible to remedy this situation.
 Public resentment should be directed against our public off, cials who have strayed from their sworn duty to uphold the Bill of Rights, The Constitution of the United States and the true concepts of Democracy.
 would recommend that every man and woman who can. write a letter to all Senators and Leg islators as soon as possible de- manding the passage of such a bill.
 feel sure that if we all put our shoulders to the wheel, it can be done, so let's get busy. Write that letter now.
 Yours truly,

the expense of uniforms.
 The concensuS of opinion about town is that we should seriously consider uniforming our men before spring. This, however. is a fairly expensive program. Most cities enter into a partnership with the patrol men on the original purchase, and set up a clothing allowance for upkeep. It has been suggested that one or all of the civic or ganizations in Seward might be willing to help with the first purchase in order to put the plan in motion.
 Chief Green estimates that $250 per man would furnish two suits, hats, belt, holster and handcuff case. After that, one new suit a year, or maybe parts of uniforms, would keep the men looking right.
 Think it over and discuss it with your neighbors. The ques- tion will come up again.

proportion to the population in the critical areas. GOA has sug- gested SLIPS million in federal grants for protective construc- tion in the next three years, but how much will be requested inn mediately and what amounts will be apportioned in each state has not been announced. These funds must be matched 50-50 by the state from any source the state determines is consistent with its laws, and if not matched in reasonable time, may be re- allocated to other states. The value of land contributed by the state or local governments does not count in the non-federal share.
 Funds may also be granted for 50-50 matching for purchase of heavy equipment for fire, en- gineering, transportation, com munications and rescue services, and for procurement, conStruc- tion, leasing, or renovating ma terials and facilities. Such funds will be apportioned Ion such terms or conditions as the ad- ministrator shall prescribe" Grants cannot be made for state or local personnel and admins trative expenses, or for items of personal equipment, or for pro- curement of land.

Federal Civil Defense Act of 1850

This is the first of a series of articles which will give a sum- mary of the Federal Defense Act of 1850. The Record is publish ing this series so that the people can see for themselves the pres ent status of Territorial cities in the civil defense program.
 The 81st Congress completed the Civil Defense Bill CHR 9798) as one of it's last acts before ad- journment. It is not an appropri- ation bill. It gives broad powers to the Civil Defense Administra- tor and establishes the Civil De fense Administration as a rela- lively permanent agency respon- sible directly to the President. It does authorize funds in un- specified amounts for federal loans and grants to the states. The new Congress in the near fu- ture will be asked by the admin istration to make appropriations for the program.
 Grants-The only funds that will be granted to states, accord ing to formula prescribed in the act are those for shelters and other protective facilities, to be apportioned among the states in

The C,adGe Roeee,
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

It is a sad commentary on the human way of life, that next to the cost of education, the highest item on any public budget is that of law enforcement and police protection.
 Seward is fortunate to have a Wide-aWake and conscientious police department. The three men on the force are interested in the job, interested in the vel fare of Seward, and trustworthy men. They are, however, only human, and when the construc- ton crews of 200 men or over enter the local picture next month, three men are not gong to be able to continue the pro. lection they have given the city in the past.
 As it is now, the 24-hour duty is divided into three eight-hour shifts. If one man is disabled through illness, or off the job for any reason, the remaining two must work 12 hours each, at no extra pay, in order to have one policeman on the job at all hours.
 Constant vigilance by the pa trolmen, and the elimination of undesirables as they arrive in town. a close watch on suspects, and continuing check with other agencies, has kept Seward free from serious crime, and cleaner than most seaport towns. That is the way we want to keep it, for ourselves and for those families which can be expected to move in.
 It begins to look as though that reputation cannot be con- tinued without the employment of at least one more officer in the police department. It is something for the residents to think about.
 A number of residents have stated their opinion that our po- lice force should be put into uni form. A uniform adds a certain dignity to the office that is ab- sent otherwise. It lends authority to the patrolman, which he al ready has, that's true, but it is not visible. Strangers, or wrong doers, recognizing uniform, will quite often straighten up immediately without causing further trouble. There are many reasons in favor of a uniformed police force and probably a number can be found against

Group Criticizes PUG
And District Heads

Recent actions Of the District
Commissioners and members o,
the Public Utilities Commission

might.
The Commissioners were scored
for indorsing the song Washing

the PUG for granting rate in

The song. which was chosen in
a contest last month, was de-
|scribed as 'abominable." The
association said the Commission
|ers were lacking in dignity in
urging District residents to accept
lit as official. Members said the
Commissioners fell for an adver-
|tising campaign.
Lack of confidence in the PUG
was based upon rate increases
granted the Washington Gas Light
Co.
The group. meeting at Luther
Rice Memorial Church, voted to
ask the Traffic Department to re.
consider a decision to place no.

Things That
Interest Women
By BESSIE F. BELL
How Do You Look?

How Do You Look?
This Spring and Summer will
see the frilliest and most feminine
fashions we have had for many
seasons, which makes us very
happy. But we shall all keep
level, pretty head, and remember
that we are also very busy lot of
gals, too. That means we must al
ways keep in mind that no matter
what kind of work we may do, one
must dress the part.
To be honest about it, you know
you will look pretty foolish wear
ing lot of frills and fancy shoes
on the job. You are expected to
dress we'll and to look we'll groom
ed at all times, but one ceases to be
smart if over-dressed. Look at your
hair, keep it clean and neatly ar
ranged. What about your teeth?
Are they sparkling, and is your
breath sweet, or does it carry the
unpleasant odor of stale cigarette
smoke?
Should you use lipstick? Of
course, but do put it on right.
Powder your lips lightly, apply the
lipstick, allow it to set for a min
ute, then blot with tissue and re-
peat the application. Use a lip
brush that can be bought in any
five and dime store.
Retain self assurance always,
not an egotistical Izzy, but poise.
1t is the one thing a girl must ac-
quire whether she is employed out
doors or in an office. Should you
feel little tired and let-down dur
ing the afternoon, of course the
real cure is to go to bed at night.
But to tide you over, dash a bit of
cold water on your face, then APP
ply fresh makeup. You will then
feel wide awake as we'll as look
the part.
