'U' President Lands 22 Times On ltefieId

pr. Ferris Moore, president of the University of Alaska, returned to Fairbanks late Wednesday after devoting several days of his vaca- tion to the Juneau Icefield Re- search Project.
 From Saturday through Wednes- day Dr. Moore made g landings with the Piper Super Cub at five camp sites on the icefield.
 The different camps, at levels between 3,600 and 5000 feet, pre- sent a great variety of snow con- ditions, with exceptionally smooth snow at the upper levels, which could provide excellent skiing, es- pecially later in the summer.
 This season has proven to those on the icefield that transportation into a ski area can be simple and inexpensive. A small plane needs smooth stretch two or three hundred feet long to provide land ing and take-off facilities.
 In addition to the g landings made in transportation of men and gear about the icefield, Dr. Moore flew Monday to Skagway, return ing with Mrs. Moore who sailed on the Princess Norah on Tuesday.
 On Tuesday, Governor Gruening flew out to the main camp with pr. Moore and had lunch with the crew there. visiting other camps later in the day, one of which was newly established Camp 8, at the highest point on the icefield gla- cier surface.
 l At Camp 16 on the flat crest of | the Lemon Glacier, Dr. Moore landed gasoline and equipment to be used by the JIRP men in co-op- eration with a meteorology team from the Air Forces Arctic Weather Central.
 This camp is the westernmost weather station and can be seen from the Glacier Highway.

Civil Jury Docket
Now Current After
Lag for 10 Years

After nearly 10 years Of lag
ging up to IA months behind
schedule, the Municipal Court
civil jury docket at last has been
pronounced current.
Chief Judge George P. Barse
said some lawyers actually have
complained their cases are COM
ing up too soon"
Judge Barse attributes the i'm
provement to the appointment OF
three additional judges to his
court in the past year. Between
last January and May. four judges
were assigned for the first time
regularly to civil jury cases.
The chief judge added that the
criminal jury docket also is up tc
date. as is the status of negligent
homicide cases, another peren-
NAL thorn in the currency of the
docket. Current" to the court
means an average delay of two
months between the time a suit is
filed md tried.
The civil non-jury situation
Judge Barse conceded, has given
him some concern. Some cases
are as much as 10 nc lthS behind
schedule.
At the close of the .,resent court
vacation season. however, he may
assign extra judges to clear that
backlog. This type of ase usually
requires substantially less triaI
time than the jury cases. he ex-
planned.

81 Students Take Jobs for Insight Into Government
By Colt HendIey

In an effort to learn just how
this government works. 81 stu
dents from colleges and univer-
sites over the country have en-
rolled as Government workers for
first hand experience.
The students all have temporary
jobs for the summer and tenn
porary living quarters at the
Barksdale Hotel, New Hampshire
avenue and S street NV.
This experiment in studying the
structure of the Federal Govern
ment is called the Student Citi-
zenship Seminar of the National
intercollegiate Christian Council.
This is an organization sponsored
by YMCA and YWCA campus
groups. This is the sixth year the
seminar has been held in Wash
ington.
Director of the seminar is Mrs.
Wells Harrington. of Greenbelt.
She is assisted by a committee of
20 Washington area residents,
headed by Miss Stella Scurlock.
In direct charge of the students
at the hotel is the Rev. and Mrs.
Edgar c. Rickard. Mr.. Rickard is
chaplain at Westminster College
during the school year.
Here's how the program works,
according to Mr.. Rickard.
The students pay all their own
expenses with the salaries earned
as temporary Government en-
ployes. Four nights each week
they meet at the American Vet
Grams Committee clubhouse for
dinner and speeches by top Gov
officials. Discussions are
held after the speeches.
The boys and girls hold vari-
GUS jobs in the Government. Miss
Ellen Edwards of Wellesley Col
lege, for instance, is working in
the library at the Agriculture
Department. Miss Mary Lou ALL
good Of Berea College has a
clerical job at the Labor Depart
ment and Mis- Ann Hilton of
Oklahoma A. and M. College is
at the Library of Congress.
The 81 are sprinkled in prac-
tically every branch of the Fed
eral Government and several are
in the District government, in
Guiding Miss Marilyn McClintock
of Louisiana State University,
who works at the District Public
Library.
THE idea is not to recruit
Government workers, but to teach
these students about govern
ment," Mr.. Richard said.
Some so colleges and univer-
sites are represented by the
worker-students. When the sum-
mer is over. all will leave their
jobs and return to the campus.

House Unit 0ks
zoning Change
In AbC Law
Proposal Would Permit
Dealers to Continue il
Location Is Rezoned

A House District subcommittee
today approved a proposed change
in the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Act to permit liquor dealers tc
continue in business when zoning
of their neighborhood is changed
to residential.
District officials and representa-
tives of the industry urged the
change in hearing before the ju-
dietary subcommittee to correct an
apparent "inequity" in the present
law.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue said one of his first mistakes
as a Commissioner was to persuade
his fellow city-heads originally to
disapprove the bill.
Subsequent inquiry made it OBJ
vious that I was in error" he said,
adding that the Commissioners
now are unanimously in favor of
the measure.
To Rectify Inequity.
Purpose of the bill, he ex-
planned, lis to rectify what now
appears to be an inequity and an
injustice under the ABC law"
The law says that a retail A,
c or D liquor license may not be
issued except in a location zoned
commercial. he pointed out.
In a number of instances IL
censes were originally issued for
commercial property and later
the zoning was changed. Often
the licensees being tenants rather
than property owners, did not
know of the change, Mr.. Donohue
said.
Licenses are issued each year
and are not renewable. This
means that dealer whose neigh
borhod is changed to residential
cannot legally be issued a new IL
cense under the present law.
At least II dealers stand to lose
their licenses unless the Law
changed by next February l.
Other Types Permitted.
Under the zoning law other
types of businesses are permitted
to continue under a non-conform-
ing status when zoning i.
changed. although no new bust
IneSseS may come in.
The proposed legislation was
suggested to the Commissioner.
by the ABC Board. Board Chair
man Alan Payne said the Boarc
feels that continuation of the
present law could result in de-
IStruction of the businesses or ever
"confiscation" by act of law.
Corporation Counsel Vernon E
West explained that at the time
the ABC Act was drafted the
iZoning Commission very seldom
Changed commercial property tt
residential and there was nc
thought that the present situation
would arise.
