ANCHORAGE, R- Three law
students have filed petitions in

admitted to- the bar despite failure
to pass examinations conducted
by the Territorial Board of Exam

Russell E. Arnett of Port Nome,

more members of the board re-
leased questions in advance to
some of the candidates for the
bar.
The petition also asserts the
board violated secrecy because it
knew which paper belonged to
which applicant. It says some or
all of the board members knew
in advance who would pass.
The trio charged "these mach
nations" violated their constitu-
tional rights.
The petition was accompanied
by affidavits by the three men
plus one by Louis Weinberg, for
mer University of Alaska. profess
sor. who also failed the exam.
Seven Of IS who took the ex-
animation were admitted to prac-
tice law.
The petitioners requested re
examination by a new or the same
board of all applicants, or a sum-
mary examination of the petition
ers by the court, or admission to
the bar. The petition charged that

CAMPBELL NEWS
BY CLARENCE IRRIGO
January

On Jan. 7th, the day was per-
feet. Several skin boats went out
hunting. Because there was no
game nearby, two of the boats
went almost to Savo0nga. Night
came and those two boats did not
return home. The National Guard
patrolled all around the vicinity
of the village with no sign of
the missing boats. The Weather
Bureau turned on the search light
but it was of no help because
of a heavy fog. The Air Force
was notified of the emergency.
The next morning the 74th Air
Rescue Squadron, who answered
the call, searched between Gam
bell and Savoonga. The rescue
plane radioed Gambell CAA that
they spotted two skin boats on
the beach 20 miles east of Gam
bell. An hour or so later, they
radioed again that all was well
with the missing men. The rescue
plane had dropped a note to the
hunters with instruction how to
signal if in need of help. Later the
II men in the two missing boats
arrived Gambell by dog teams
which had gone after them.
The hunters reported that fog
prevented them from reaching
Gambell while daylight and dur
ing the night when the going be-
came difficult and useless, and
to save what little gas they had
left, to be used in daylight, they
pulled their skin canoes on a
large cake Of ice and built a
fire.
A letter of appreciation and
gratitude was sent to the rescue
squadron.
There is not much change in
things except that this winter it
is colder than last winter.

February

For the first time in many years
there has not been a single birth
Of a baby in January. If no new
baby is born in February or
March this will be unusual. In
1851 there were 20 babies born
and 1852 had only ten. Against
these 80 births in two years, there
were Is deaths, according to the
Marriage Commissioner. He also
stated that there has been no mar
riage licenses issued from August,
1850, until last December, 1852,
when a license was issued to
Solomon Booshu of Gambell and
Myrtle Ifkoluk Of Savoonga. They
were married by Rev. Campbell
at SavGonga.
Amos Peniyu and Eugene Too
lie, both Of Savoonga, and both
with broken arms, were brought

There are four more passengers
awaiting transportation this week.
They are Ruth K. and Mary l.,
both going to Kotzebue Hospital
for same treatment they received
several years ago. Tom T. and
Roger A. are to Edgecumbe SAM

Hunting is fair with seal or
two every now and then Even

were two walrus killed last week.
Days are longer now and hunt

House Passes Bill
To Pay for Audit Of
ALI Departments

JUNEAU, Up - The Alaska
House had an active bill-passing
afternoon Wednesday after a day
which was highlighted by fore
noon passage Of a property tax
repeal bill by the House and
Senate passage of a $40 fee for
nonresident fishermen.
The House, in the first after
noon session of the week, passed
three bills and four memorials.
It passed unanimously a bill to
appropriate $4,000 for an audit
of all territorial departments. AL
den Wilbur R-Fairbanks, who
introduced the bill, said speed
was desirable so an outside firm
could begin the audit during the
current legislative session.
1t was explained that funds for
the audit were not provided for
in the 1851 legislatures budget
bill because passage of the Reor-
ganization Act, which is now on
its way to burial, led legislators
to believe that auditing would be
covered under provisions of the
act.
The only disagreement came
over a bill which calls for the ter
ritory to pay $2,772 fee to a legal
firm which represented the terri
tory in a Seattle injunction suit
against the Seattle waterfront
strike last fall.
The Juneau Chamber of Com
merce had agreed to underwrite
the cost Of legal fees through soil
citations from businessmen and
other Alaska chambers but most
Of the money was never collected.
It was in the form Of pledges if
needed.
The vote for the territory to
pick up the check was 1873. All
opposition was from legislators
outside southeastern Alaska.
Carl Rentschler R-Anchorage)
sounded the keynote for the oppo-
sition when he said he feared it
might set a precedent for organi-
cations to undertake a project for
territorial benefit then expect the
legislature to foot the bill.
The measure now goes to the
Senate.
