Collision Charges
Continued from page l


 He told the Comptroller that a special board of the Department of Commerce spent several weeks conducting a complete investiga- tion of the Palmer Airport pro- Ject and the activities of CAA personnel concerned with the transaction. According to the re- port of this board, Scott stated, No evidence has been found which will support a charge of collision insofar as CAA person. nel are concerned"
 Scott further cited a letter of July B, 1851 from the director of FBI in which the criminal divi- sion of the Department of Justice had advised FBI that no further Investigation was warranted after careful consideration of the Bureaus FBD investigation, to- gether with the testimony given by various witnesses before the Senate investigating committee. ]"
 Scott concluded that in his con- sidered judgment there is no foundation in fact for the finding of the subcommittee" referred to the Comptroller Generals explan- ation of his refusal to release the federal funds to the Territory.
 Whether or not the Commerce secretary's report will influence the Comptroller General to re- verse his decision regarding the federal refund to the Territory is problematical. It is manifest in above statements that the Com merce Department was concerned mainly with exonerating CAA personnel in Alaska of any arges of collision with Territorial officials in con- nection with Palmer Airport Transactions. In clearing the CAA officials of such collusion. it would seem logical to assume that no collision existed and that the proven falsity of the charges would apply also to the Territorial officials.
 Meanwhile in Palmer a move has been under way recently to remove all charges of attempts to bilk the government in connection with the airport transactions, to the end that the Territory will be refunded the money due under the Federal Airport Act and that all stigma will be erased from the name of Palmer.
 Organizations which spearhead- ed action to obtain an airport in Palmer during the early '4O's be- ieve that they should do every

Fair Space Requests And Changes Should Be Made by Aug. IS

All Fair superintendents, local organizations and civic groups de- siring exhibit and concession space at the Fair should contact Fair Manager Parker Lester at the Fair Grounds before August 15.
 Any changes in space require ments for exhibits should be giv- en at this time also. The. Fair Manager must know how much overall space is needed before it can be >subdivided among the several exhibitors.
 It is expected that the Coop will have much larger industrial display than ever before. A num- Der of industries from all over Alaska have indicated interest in display space this year.

Annual Bazaar and Tea Al Grange Hall Sunday

Starting at one o'clock Sunday afternoon, August 10, members of Northland Pioneer Grange home economics department will hold their annual bazaar and tea at the Grange Hall, east of the Fair Grounds.
 Special feature of this years event will be the sale of potted plants and flowers. The commit tee anticipates large variety of flowers in spite of the late sea- son this year.
 Proceeds from the sales will go toward the Grange building fund.
 Mrs. William Hoskins, chair man of the Grange home econ omics department, said that the tea and sale would continue until the crowd thinned out Sunday evening.

thing in their power to help the Territory get it's money so that Alaska's continuing airport pro- gram will not suffer. They fear that the cloud surrounding the airport must be lifted before any further improvements will be considered by the Department of Aviation. Tony Schwamm, Ter ritoral director of aviation, stated last May that lights would be in stalled on the Palmer Airport this year. These lights, however, are acquired from CAA and feder- al funds go into their pucrhase. It is feared that they will not be forthcoming until the cloud is removed. That Palmer has suf- fered a tof unfavorable public ity through association of its name with the airport deal is another worry. It is felt that in the future discrimination against Palmer, on the basis of the stigma attached to the name, may be brought to bear on federal pro- iects or funds considered for this area.
 Already letters and telegrams have been sent to the Comptrol- Ter by the American Legion Auxil- iary, the Northland Pioneer Grange, and the Valley Home makers Council. The communica- tions ask that the unfavorable de- cision be reversed and that a com plete investigation be authorized to establish the truth for once and for all. Other organizations are considering or in the process of drafting similar telegrams and letters.

MRS. GEO. NELSON OF WASILLA DIES AT VALLEY HOSPITAL

Mrs. Leona Lillian Nelson, 72, wife of George Nelson of Wasilla, died of cerebral hemorrhagc at Valley Hospital early Wednesday morning, August 6.
 Mrs. Nelson had had a stroke while visiting at her sons home in Spenard earlier this summer. She was taken to the hospital Sunday following another attack that left her completely paral- ized.
 Mrs. Nelson was born in Che boygan, Michigan, but she was a real Alaskan old-timer. She came to Alaska with her husband early in the century. She is well know all over the Territory, particular ly in the Copper Center and An chorage areas where she lived be- fore settling in Wasilla.
 She is survived by her husband and two sons Kenneth M. Nelson, who is with the Alaska Road Commission in Juneau, and Cor don Nelson of Spenard, who is on the Highway Patrol.
 Funeral services for Mrs. Nell son will be held in Anchorage, ac- cording to report. The exact time and place will be announced later.

Condition of City
Continued from page ]

(9) That because the city has authorized the issuance of only $30O,000 worth of bonds, the city bind itself to pay in cash at the time of transfer of the project, the portion of the purchase price of the project which exceeds $300,000, unless the city shall therefore have authorized an is- sue of additional bonds which equals the amount of the purchase price.
 Examination of the individual conditions and preparation of a Resolution and Tor a reply was re- ferred to the water committee. In the discussion which followed the reading, however, it became ap- parent that condition 6, in particu- lar, would be protested on the grounds that it was never part of the city's original agreement with APW.
 The city's responsibilities in re- gard to the Coop water system under condition 2 were described by F. Riley, APW counsel present at the meeting. Under this con- dition, he said,' the City Council would be enjoined against taking any action such as granting of a franchise or permission to cross a city street that would permit ex- pansion of the Coop water sys- tenn within the city limits. Such action, he said should be directed toward the ultimate goal making the Coop a city water user, a goal which MT. Riley thought would be mutually beneficial to the city and to the Coop.
 Under the last condition, the city will probably choose the latter alternative, adding S5O,OOO to the bond authorization to cover the city's additional share of the cost (S37, ,5O0) and allowing Sl5,- 900 to cover possible extensions of the water system project be- fore the project is completed.

Agent Admits FWS
 Error in Overlooking Personal Use Fishing

Because from 60-80 days are re- quired to make a change in Fish and Wildlife regulation, there will be no salmon fishing in this area previous to August 14, Holger Larsen, FWS agent, announced at the Matanuska Val ley Sportsman's meeting held Wednesday night, August 6.
 After that date, through a new interpretation of the regulation, { personal use salmon fishing will be permitted in the commercial fishing areas. There will be no salmon stream fishing.
 We do make errors" Larsen admitted, but we have done the best we can to rectify them. Our intent was not to hurt the per sonal use fisherman, but to con- trol the commercial fishermen" Larson went on to say the FWS welcomes constructive criticisms. Our department can not operate without the cooperation of the sportsmen," he added.
 Any future changes in the regu- lation will have to come from the office of Secretary of Interior Oscar Chapman, Larsen stated.
 Touching briefly on a letter re- ceived by Clair Stock from Re- gional Director Clarence J. Rhode in which salmon bootlegging on the streams was referred to, Lar sen said all violations, whenever possible, are being prosecuted. "Snag hooks are pretty expensive when the user must pay from $25 to $100 fines" he stated.
 Accompanying Larsen on his Palmer visit was Col. John Me sick, USA in charge of Special Services. Following an eXplana- tory talk about the trail being constructed by the army into Lake Louise, Col. Mesick answer ed several questions pertaining to civilian and Army use of the area. There will be no hunting in this area for the GI'', he stated. Our purpose in establishing this trail is to provide training area with limited recreation with a mini mum of disturbance to the area.
 The trail will not be put in pass able condition for vehicles, Col. Mesick stated. The men will hike the 20 miles into the lake over this trail. The practical experience men of the 197th are getting in constructing this trail has inn proved their ability 2006 in the past four weeks he stated.
 Fishing at the lake will be un- der supervision at all times with regard to conservation and the practice of good sportsmanshlp, he added. We will have but five three-men boats at the lake. After 20-mile hike those boys won't feel like too much fishing and we do not feel the lake will be "fished out" as some have ex- pressed. Our lake front will be only few hundred yards" he said. The only firearms permitted i in the area will be for protection, possibly two rifles to company he added.
 Civilian rights to the area will | not be disturbed, both he and Larsen pointed out. Civilian hunt : ing and fishing will continue, however, there will be no vehicle i travel over the trail.

course: to wander ainlessly, de-
rived from the name OF the river
in western Asia Minor (now Men
dere), remarkable for its circuitous
course. Meander is pronounced:

Answer: The expression is Of
Biblical origin. Jehu was the son
of Jehoshaphat, son Of Nimshi. AS
captain Of the host he conspired
against the Kings of Israel and Ju-
'daf1, making furious attack with
cilariots, during which Jehoram
and Ahaziah were killed. And
the watchman told, saying, He
came even unto them, and cometh
not again: and the driving is like
that Of Jehu, the son of Nimshi;

The bidding:
North. East. South. West
1 heart Pass INT Pass
2 spades Pass Pass Pass
In today's deal he failed miser-
ably in recognizing the significance
of his partners bidding sequence.
Let's examine that bidding in de-
tail.
In the first place. Mr.. Dale was
vulnerable and his opponents were
not. He bid hearts first, then
spades. AS far as he knew, his
partners hand might have been
weaker than it actually was. Yet
he put Mr.. New in the position OF
having to bid three hearts If he
preferred that suit to spades.
In other words, Mr.. New would
have had to go to the three range
just to express a simple preference
for Mr.. Dale'S drst-bid suit. That's
getting pretty high, especially since
Mr.. New had clearly indicated a
weak hand by his one-no-trump re-
sponse. Mr.. New quickly passed the
two-Spade bid. He even glowered
at Mr.. Dale as if to say, What are
you trying to do, go for an 800 set
on this hand?" As is often the case
with players who think they know
it all, it never occurred to him that
Mr.. Dale knew exactly what he was
doing.
Needed Better Cards.
To bid as he did, he had to have
high cards, better than minimum
vulnerable no-trump opening. This
means about four honor tricks or 18
points in the Work count or II
points, four-ace count. That's the
minimum requirement The maxi
mum would be about a queen
better.
Since Mr.. Dale had reversed y
Mr.. New had plenty to bid two no
trump ons the second round. Mr..
Dale would have gone to three no.
trump which would have been max
able against any defense.
