Police
RiIed by Promotion
Examination Plan
By ChorIes L. Hoffman

Montgomery County police are
up in arms over the abrupt an
nouncement that the personnel
board will hold examinations for
at least eight promotions.
Police and the County person.
mel board have clashed frequent
ly in recent months.
Police feel the personnel
boards action was arbitrary and
came at an inopportune time.
They point out the board re-
Gently promoted three detectives
without examinations and then
capped off this with the promo
tion Of captain.
And in county circles it is
widely known that police officials
had made recommendations for
the other eight vacancies which
were rejected by the board. AS
a result of the announcement,
103 men must be interviewed for
promotions.
Agree Under Protest.
The police association almost
decided to boycott the proposed
examinations. Then cooler minds
agreed they would take the ex-
aminations under protest"
Among vacancies to be filled
by the examinations are two
corporals, two sergeants and two
lieutenants.
The examination announce
ment also included detective
lieutenantS "a new rank. At
present the three area detective
bureaus are headed up by Det.
Sergts. j. B. Day, John P. Leahy
and william Whalen.
Police spokesmen point out
these men have headed the bu-
reaus for several years and most
feel the promotions should be
automatic to go along with the
responsibilities they have car
ried.
Police feel the present vacan-
cies should be filled in the usual
manner and then an announce
ment made that examinations
will be in order in the future.
Pay Raises Turned Down.
Malcolm H. White, chairman
of the personnel board, however,
puts it this way:
This is the first time we have
done this but you have to start
somewhere and we feel this is
the time to start"
The personnel board appears
to have the last word in promo
tions if County Attorney David
MacDonald'S legal ruling is cor
rect. He told the council Tues
day it could not change a pay
schedule or promotion regulation
established by the board.
The board has repeatedly
turned down requested pay in
crease for the police which some
councilmen are eager to grant.
It also has been considering re-
vising the police retirement sys-
tenn.
The personnel board is made
up of Mr.. White, a farmer, Mrs.
Edith Dinwoody. a housewife,
and Lewis B. Simms, a Federal
employe.
The broad powers of the board
stem from the charter leaders
intent to take politics out of ap-
pointments and promotions.
But many county residents
feel the pendulum has swung too
far and the situation can very
easily develop into a political
issue that could boomerang on
the charteriteS.

CIVIL DEFENSE URGES .ALASKANS TO HAVE
 EMERGENCY NATIONS

From Alaska's Department of Civil Defense come recommenda- tions to Alaskans concerning emergency rations for the house hold. The departments Emergen- cy Food Committee has drafted the recommendations, which are, in part:
 l. That all Alaska families maintain a thirty-day supply of staple foods for use in the event of prolonged emergency which would deplete normal food stocks.
 2. That rotational plan be de- veloped whereby families use and replenish items in the emergency supply to insure continuing maxi mum edibility and maintenance of caloric content.
 Issuance of the emergency food list at this time, the committee said, is not to be interpreted as indicating any increase in the ser iousness of the present emergen- cy. It was the opinion of the com mittee that in any area as depen- dent on distant food source as is Alaska, the wisdom of individual family groups assuming the re- sponsibility for preparing emer- gency 3O-day supplies of food is obvious.

Statehood Hearings
 For Juneau End, With 26 For, Eight Opposed

JUNEAU, R-The second phase of a US. Senate committees hear ings on statehood ended here Wednesday noon after 26 witness es took the stand in support of and eight testified against imme- diate statehood for the territory.
 A final witness for statehood was Jerry Wade, 19-year-old son of Hugh Wade, director of the Alaska Native Service Young Wade grew emotional on the stand as he protested, with table-pound- ing, against the opposition to statehood.
 Earlier leading witnesses against statehood included Sen. Marcus Jensen and Allen Shattuck, Ju- neau insurance man and former legislator. Their arguments were based primarily on the thesis that the financial burden of statehood would be too great at the pres ent stage of economic develop ment of the territory.
 One of the pro-statehood wit nesses was Warren Christiansen, president of the Sitka Chamber of Commerce, who said his endorse ment was for both the chamber and himself. Mrs. Myrtle Sarvella, a Sitka housewife, proposed a separate state in southeast Alaska.

Air Force Hopes to Leave Shemya Base Next April; Passenger Lines Affected
CAP Special Washington Service)

GAP SpecIal Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, LR - The Air Force said Thursday it hopes to suspend it's operation Of Shemya Airport in the Aleutians next April l.
 A spokesman said the 426th Royal Canadian Air Force Squad ron is virtually the only unit still using the remote base. He said the Canadians operate through Shemya, in the Pacific airlift, about once a week from McChord Air Force Ease near Tacoma, Wash.
 The spokesman added that if contingencies required it, the Air Force could continue opera ting Shemya until June 30.
 Two commercial airlines III Northwest and Canadian Pacific - currently operate through Shemya.
 Unless the Civil Aeronautics Administration decides to main tain Shenya after the Air Force checks out, the airlines might have to shift to other Air Force airfields in the Aleutians, such as Cold Bay or Adak, or change to a southern route through Hawaii.
 Closing of Shemya would mean greater fuel requirements or diff ferent model aircraft for contin- uance of the North Pacific run.

New Kinsey Report Finds
 Women Stay Young Longer
 Than Men In Sexual Activity
BLOOMINGTON. Indiana, 4

 Thursday finds women stay young longer than men in sex activity.
 Human sex lives, it also finds, are as different as fingerprints.
 The only basic sex difference be- tween men and women is mental or psychological, the female book says. Most women with some surprising exceptions - are not aroused as often as men by sights, talk, or anticipation of sex.
 Most women need steady phys ical contact to achieve sex satis- faction.
 It finds the roaring 20s really brought a sharp change in Ameri- can women's sex lives. They changed toward less frigidity in marriage, and more experience and freedom before marriage.
 Dr. Alfred c. Kinsey authorized publication Thursday of the scien- tific finds in his long-awaited second book, Sexual Behavior in the Human Female"
 Some other finds:
 Ten percent of wives remain frigid, never experiencing a sex ual climax. So do 28 percent of older single women. Yet many such inexperienced women advise youths about sex, or help draft sex laws.
 One in four wives-26 percent or more-at some time commits adultery, whereas about half of all husbands ultimately have ex- tra-marital affairs. Some hus- bands encourage wives to do SO.
 About half of all women have sex relations before marriage, about half of them just with fiances.
 Most women reach peak of sexual activities about the age of 27 or 28. Once they reach it they usually maintain a steady level until their sos or eos, with little decline from aging.
 But most men reach a peak of activity in their late teens, then steadily decline with age.
 The fact is most men are grow ing old in sexual capacity when their wives are becoming more interested and less inhibited in sex. This difference often leads to marital problems. It's still mys- tery why women don't show this aging effect.
 Fifteen years in preparation, the 742-page book will be pub lished Sept. 14-at a price of $8.
 The pre-publication announce ment said the report was based on interviews with 5,94O females, aged 2 to 90, of varied religions, education and occupation.
 A conclusion on marriage:
 "Men will never learn to get along better with women, or wo- men with men, until each under stands the other as they are, and not as they hope or imagine them to be-"
