 JUNEAU, (P)-A1aska's legisla- ture ended it's third afternoon of closed-door hearings on Territori- al affairs last night with a short statement that "no evidence has been presented that warrants ac- ton by this body"
 The brief statement was issued by Senate President Gunnard M. Engebreth R.-Anchorage) after authorization granted by the joint session. He added:
 "The above action was taken unanimously by all members that were present"
 It came after an afternoon ses- sion of more than four hours at which Governor Gruening and Territorial Treasurer Henry Ro- den appeared. Both officials were behind locked doors with the leg islators more than two hours.
 When the Governor emerged he said he could not comment on the proceedings of the legislators ex- ecutive session.
 Former Democrat Representa- tive Marcus Jensen of Douglas, also was in the chamber for the third day. His request to report some investigative findings to the legislature precipitated the closed joint sessions.
 There was no disclosure of the nature of Jensen's report or what charges he may have made, but in past he has blasted at the Terri orial administration and Rep. Stanley McCutcheon D.-Anchor- ege) in particular.
 Authoritative sources reported that McCutcheon also was on the stand during the session.
 There were reports, too, of con- ,rove-sy over what kind of state ment should be issued before the brief one agreed upon.
 Senators Howard Lyng O. Nome), John Butrovich R.-Fair- banks( and w. L. Lhamon R.- Fairbanks) left before the state ment was agreed upon, and Sen. Gerrit Snyder R.-Anchorage) re- fused to participate in the pro- ceedings on the contention they should be public.
 The executive session lasted un- til nearly 6:30 pm.

The Changing Legend Of George Washington

Tomorrow America remembers the birth of lank, longnosed Virginia planter whose vision, courage and leadership charted the infant of republic Geography and the bountil earth the chief of our national power and America would probably have become great if George Washington had never been born 215 years ago tomorrow. But there is tanty 1t would be the nation we know today
 Amid the bitter factonaism, intrigue and even treachery which threatened to destroy the revolution ary effort Washington tower of granite. With French allies he saved the revolution When the loose confederation of states in danger of falling apart he central figure in the call for Constitutional convention As president of the convention he has been given major credit for securing agreement the Con- stitution and obtaining it's ratification. And first President of the new Republic, he steered it through difficult days when its unity was trial That was Washngtons great gift to America: Planting and cher ishing the principle of national union.
 The "debunking' of the Washington legend has in late years become popular literary exercise It cannot be said however, that the Vrgnan has been the lesser for it. On the contrary he has been transformed from marble bust and auStere portrait to human being with plausible balance of fault and virtue.
 Men become great through their competence in deal- ing with the problems of their day; their memory is abused when their words reSrected to justify op position to policies based changed conditions Wash ngtons name was thus abused by the dwindling advo cateS of American isolatonsm who cited these lines from his farewell address:
 Europe has set of primary interests which to us have none or very remote, relation. Our de-

Why, by intervening our destiny with any part of Europe entange our peace and prosperity in the tolls of European ambition, rivalship, interest hulnor caprce?"

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART


AS secretary of the Sportswriters'
and Broadcasters' Association of the
Interstate League, it is my job, as
it has been for several years, to re-
ceive and tabulate all the votes in
the annual Most Valuable Players
Contest and l can assure you that
not only was the vote absolutely fair
in every respect, but also that the
winner, Niles Jordan, received first
place votes from three other towns
besides Wilmington.
It must not be overlooked that
the sportswriters of the daily papers
throughout our league, and also the
broadcasters, only see the visiting
clubs when they come to their towns
whereas, in the higher leagues, the
sportswriters, and sometimes the
broadcasters, travel with the teams
and therefore see practically every
game throughout the season.
A striking illustration of this is the
case of the winner of our contest,
Niles Jordan In his three appear
ances against the Braves-the only
time the local sportswriters and
broadcasters had an opportunity to
see him-he didn't look too good.
His first start here was on the 18th
of May, when he was knocked out
after pitching three-and two-thirds
innings, gave up six runs and nine
hits, and was charged with the loss.
His second appearance here was on
June Il when he won the game by
the far from impressive score of 10
to 5. His third and final appearance
in Hagerstown was on July 16 when,
although he was credited with the
win, he was knocked out of the box
in the seventh frame.
On the other hand, in the rest of
his games, he was just about I'M
beatable.
The most valuable player in the
league is not to be confused with
the most valuable player to his own
club, and it must not be overlooked
that the Philadelphia Phillies show
ed how valuable they thought Jor-
dan was, when they called him from
a Class B league to the Major
Leagues, believing that he could
help the Phillies finish in the first
division. Personally / voted for
Billy Smith and l gave my second
place vote to Neal, Lancaster's sec
ond baseman, who l believe is the
best Major League prospects in the
league. But that doesn't mean that
l am right and those who voted for
Jordan were wrong. Everyone is
entitled to his own opinion.
Billy Smith is a fine young ball
player and if he continues, when he
moves up next season (Which l am
sure he wilD, to hit the ball like he
has all season with us, and also
develops into an outfelder, he's got
a great future in front of him.
have not seen him work enough in
the outfeld to form any opinion in
that respect, but I do feel that he
is not tall enough to make a real
name for himself at first base.

To make the cartwheels, cut
thin slice of lemon; then notch
the peel with a sharp knife or
scissors. A whole Glove in the
center adds the final touch.
Float these in a pitcher of
lemonade, or on top of soup.
The garnishes with chopped
parsley are made by cutting off
the top quarter and the bottom
quarter of thin lemon slice. Then
each slice is sprinkled with
finely chopped parsley. These
add a decorative touch to a
baked or broiled fish as we'll as

The curls can be made by cut
ting half the pulp from a thin
lemon slice, being careful to
leave ell the peel. Curl the peel
into a circular shape. Two of
these curls placed together and
repeated around a large meat
platter make a handsome gar

For the crosses, cut four
wedges equi-distant around the
lemon slice. Top with olive slice.
