Local Members Attend Cook Inlet Chapter Of AAAS Meeting

Seven local men drove to An chorage Friday evening to attend the monthly meeting of the Cook Inlet chapter of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
 They were Don Irwin, William J. Sweetman, and Dr. Richard Washburn of the Alaska Experi- ment Station staff; Pat Murphy of SCS; Dr. George Whetstone and Don C. Ford of Geological Survey; and Kirk Stone, repre- senting the Arctic Research Council.
 Plans for the second Alaska Science Conference to be held at Mt. Mckinley Park Sept. 4-8 were discussed. With 80 invited papers by scientists distinguished in their respective fields and reservations for 130 persons already taken, it was feared that the hotel would be unable to accommodate all who desired to attend. Only 241 persons can sleep at the hotel. Mrs. Rachel Spinney Simmet, ex- ecutive secretary treasurer of the conference, is taking reservations. Box 60, Anchorage, is her address.
 Don Irwin has been named chairman of the committee to draft a divisional constitution and bylaws for the Alaska Division of the AAAS. The Alaska Division now boasts three chapters: the Cook Inlet Chapter, the Southeast Alaska Chapter at Juneau, and the Arctic Chapter at Fairbanks.
 Robert Dale, in charge of the Climatological Section of the Weather Bureau in Anchorage, presented a paper at the July 0 meeting.

Appeals Court Voids Claim
OF Inventor Against Acc

A middle-aged inventor and his
wife today lost their fight in the
United States Court of Appeals co
win compensation from the Atomic
Energy Commission for patented
electrical inventions which they
claimed are being used in the pro-
|duction Of fashionable materials.
The appellate court threw out
the claims of William Arthur
Fletcher, 81. and Nellie Fletcher
on virtually every count. The
Fletchers' residence is in Los An
|geles, but since their litigation be-
gan in 1948 they have been stay
ing in the 1900 block Of Columbia
road NV.
The Fletchers claim that their
patented designs for such devices
as communications circuits are be-
ing used by the Federal Govern
Iment in research laboratories, as
well as in 1876 institutions and a
number of Acc contract plants.
Appeals Judge Wilbur K. Miller,
speaking for the unanimous court,
declared that the Fletchers, in the
first place. should have taken one
aspect of their complaint to the
Court of Claims. Judge Miller also
pointed out that elsewhere In the
case substantial evidence was
shown that the patents involved
did not disclose any invention
useful to Acc. Additionally, he
said, one Of the patents had ex-
|pired before the Atomic Energy
Commission became effective.

Praises Anocostid Cadet Corps
Former High School
Military Teacher Was
Wounded in Action

A 29-year-old Washington lieu
tenant, who watched his former
Anacostia High School students
march to first and second place
in the annual cadet corps battalion
competition at Griffith Stadium
last April, is back from Korea with
la piece of Communist shrapnel in
his liver-and praise for the cadet
program as a groomer of military
men.
1t. Golfredo D. Sansalone of 1868
Burbank street Sc, was wounded
June 4 somewhere north of the
38th Parallel in Korea after 20
days of combat with the 5th
Ranger Infantry Company, sery-
ing with the 25th Division.
Despite this and wounds re-
ceived as a World War II tank
man, 1t. Sansalone likes the Army
and thinks the high school cadet
program, especially at Anacostia,
can do a lot for young men. even
if they don't enter the armed
services.

an important and difficult thing
for most newcomers to Army life.

After re-entering the Army last

to see his cadets take first and

The lieutenant, who began his
military training as a cadet cap
tain at st. Johns College High
School, has taken specialist courses
as reservist during the summer
months that qualify him as a
ranger, a mountain fighter and as
an airborne infantryman.
1t. Sansalone landed at Andrews
Air Force Base Tuesday night,
little more than a month after he
landed in Korea. Yesterday, he
saw his wife, Catherine, and their
two children. The lieutenant's

graduated leave bill, based on
seniority. to replace the 2o-day
leave cut rider approved by the

The Senate Civil Service Com

conferees on the 1852 independ-
ent offices appropriation bill,
which contains the 20-day leave
cut rider, to eliminate the pro-
vision in favor of the graduated

The Civil Service Commission

a year leave based on length Of
service. The subcommittee is ex-
pected to approve legislation some
thing along this line.
Leaders Of the various Federal
employe unions testified before the

ton to any reduction of the pres

that Government workers have mo-

ended that reduction of leave
