NATIONAL AIRPORT PLAN

The Civil Aeronautics Admins tration has listed 45 new airports and seaplane bases which it would like to see built in Alaska and 63 existing projects it wants i'm proved.
 The new airports would cost about $983,000, and the improve ments would cost approximately $4,082,000, and are proposed to be undertaken within a 3-year period.
 The CAA stressed that listing an airport in the plan does not assure that any funds will be all located to it. After Congress ap- proves the CAA appropriation for the fiscal year, the CAA will de- termine which airports will be built or improved. Of the total

Gets 1920 Years
On Dope Charge

NEW YORK, Sept. "a. John
(Nate) Pettigrew, a dapper, 40
year old infamous character, car
rying the dubious title of "King
of Harlem Dope" last week was
sentenced to Is to 20 years in
prison for peddling dope.
Pettigrew, the assistant district
attorney said, entered the narcot-
les field in 1948 and soon devel-
oped a fabulous organization which
employed 100 pushers and netted
$4,000 week profit.
Charles Gooden, Al, Pettigrew'
lieutenant was sentenced to five
to 10 years. He was first of
fender while Pettigrew was Sec
ond offender.
Judge Valente remarked in sem
fencing Pettigrew that he lacked
even the excuse of being an addict
forced to peddle to obtain dope to
satisfy his own craving.
This undertaking was deliber-
ate and solely for profit, the Judge
declared.
Pettigrew has had a long career
of arrests for such crimes as
burglary, petit larceny, illegal
sale Of liquor, gambling and as

u. S. Attorney General McGrath
Tells Senate Election Sub Committee
OF The Need For A Stronger Law
Protecting Right To Vote
Would Strengthen Right To Vote In All
Elections Regardless OF Race Color Or
Previous Condition OF Servitude
Senate Group Eye Election Laws With
View Of Writing New Legislation

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. "a
Attorney General j. Howard Me
Grath last Friday urged stronger
statutory protection of the right
to vote in Federal elections as rec
commended by President Truman in
his special message on civil rights
sent to the Congress in 1948.
Mr.. McGrath testified before
the elections subcommittee of the
Senate Rules and Admission Com
mittee. The group, headed by Sena-
tor Guy M. Gillette, Democrat of
Iowa, is surveying election laws
with possible view of writing
new legislation.
AS Senator, Mr.. McGrath dur
ing the 81st Congress introduced
an omnibus civil rights bill, part
2 of which was designed to protect
the right to political participation.
In testifying last Friday, Mr..
McGrath directed attention to his
bill which, he said would have pro-
vided amendments "of law essen
tial to the protection of the right
to vote.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
held hearings on the McGrath bill
in 1949, and one of the witnesses
who appeared in support of it was
Associate Justice Tom C. Clark
of the United States Supreme
Court, who was then the Attorney
General. The committee never act
ed on the McGrath bill but pigeon
holed the measure.
Mr.. McGrath told the elections
subcommittee that his omnibus
civil rights bill would in several
ways have afforded stronger sta
tutory protection of the right to
vote which the President of the
United States urged upon the Con-
gress in his civil rights message
of 1913.
His proposal would have amend
ed the section of the Hatch Act
which makes punishable itimida-
ton and coercion for the purpose
of interfering with the right of

Among the goddesses Of ancient
Egypt, the one called Isis stood at
the top. There were other impor-
Itant goddesses, but none came very
close to Isis in the favor of the
priests or the general public.
Temples were built in honor OF
Isis, and thousands of shrines were
Iset up where people could offer her
special prayers. In some of the
early stories, we hear OF Isis as a
maiden goddess, the daughter OF
the god of earth and the goddess of
the sky.
The usual story, however, spoke
of Isis as the wife of the great god
Osiris and the mother of his child,
Egyptian women thought of her as
the goddess of motherhood.
After being brought back to life
by Isis, the god Osiris ruled the
Otherworld. He was supposed to
look after the spirits of the dead.
With her husband in the Other
world, Isis appears to have kept
herself busy in doing good work
among the Egyptians.
Another powerful deity was Ha-
thor, the goddess of love, also the
mother goddess. In some parts OF
Egypt people spoke of her as "the
COW goddess" Statues and pictures
