Blizzard Lashes
Nebraska, Drifts Hall
All Highway Travel
BY the Associated Press


OMAHA, Feb. 2O.-A blizzard,
most savage of the year, whip
dashed Nebraska today.
It was reminiscent, at least.
of the assaults during the oper-
alton snowbound winter of 1948-
40, one of the worst winters of
this century in Middle America.
Highway travel ground to a
dead halt in all but eastern Ne
braska. Not only did huge snow
drifts block travel. but visibility
was so bad one driver at Kearney
! reported being unable to see his
radiator cap.
| There were all the old famil-
| lar blizzard ingredients-Sting-
ing winds reached 81 miles an
hour at North Platte: snow. up
! to II inches of it at Sidney and
near-zero cold.
! State Highway Maintenance
Engineer John McMeekin said in
Lincoln his reports indicated
drifts are worse than in 1949.
SnOwplows Futile.
At the outset, at least, there
was little snowplow crews could
do. Visibility was so bad it was
futile to try.
'All we can do is make a few
rescue missions for people foolish
enough to get out in this" said
Mr.. McMeekin.
In Sidney, the snow was
drifted to the top of a theater
! marquee. About 40 stranded
travellers spent a catch-as-catch-
can night in the Sidney City
Auditorium.
Two Sidney men got lost going
only four or five blocks home.
Neighbors formed a rescue party
and found them.
Two westbound Greyhound
buses headed for North Platte
begged down at nearby Max
we'll and were reported low on
fuel. A supply was being sent
them. Two buses also became
stranded west of North Platte,
but passengers were in no imme-
date danger.
/ Sleet Snaps Power Lines.
! Sleet preceded the eastward
moving snoWstorm in Central
Nebraska and in the Kearney
area, power lines snapped under
a terrific load of ice about an
inch thick.
<. D. Henderson, district oper-
ating superintendent for Con-
Sumers Public Power District at
Kearney, said virtually every
town in the district had a power
failure at some time or other
since midafternoon Thursday.
Most main line trains were
operating although behind sched-
ule today But buses were at a
standstill and air lines planes by
passed the storm area.
BY midforenoon, the storm had
eased in the Far West but was
pummeling the Grand Island and
North Platte sections with fury.
And the eastern section braced
for it's arrival.

SNOW FALLS AT CURRY: SKIING STARTS

Approximately two or three months behind schedule, snow fell at Curry this past week and skiers who have been patiently awaiting the day, enjoyed cross country treks and skied the slopes the past weekend.
 The Alaska Railroad has a win ter resort at Curry and officials announced they expect to have the tow operating very soon. Delay in obtaining needed parts had pre- vented the operations. However, the parts have arrived and as soon as installed the tow will be running. The railroad schedules special-rate weekend excursions to their resort and many local skiers are making plans to spend a weekend or two at Curry be- fore the end of the season.

 Legislation providing for an elective Governor and an elective Lieutenant Governor of Alaska was placed before the House this week by Delegate Bartlett.
 T am just as convinced as ever," Delegate Bartlett declared in introducing the bill, "that state hood will provide the only satis- factory legislative answer. How ever, the statements made by a group of Republican Senators after conferring with President Eisenhower recently and of the Secretary of the Interior, Douglas Mckay, both of which reveal something less than complete en- thusiasm for early statehood, must be viewed realistically. It is my intent to press for statehood. At the same time, I shall work for early enactment of the elective Governor bill as I have on more than one occasion in the past"
 Delegate Bartlett's bill differs from previous measures he has in- troduced calling for a Governor elected by the people of the Ter rito-y in that it replaces the ap- pointive office of Secretary of AL aska with an elective Lieutenant Governor who would act as Gov ernor during the absence of the executive head of the Territory's government and who would suc- ceed to the governorship in case of the Governors death.
 The terms of both officials, starting with the general election in 1854, would be for four years. The measure sets forth provisions for Impeachment by the territor- ial House and Representatives and trial and conviction by the Sen ate.
 Private Alaska Legislation
 Fourteen so-called private bills were introduced by Delegate Bart lett this week seeking assistance for individuals and organizations Four church groups and two Boy Scout troops would be benfited under the terms of six of the bills.
 Five other land bills are in- cluded in the IA private bills drop ped in the hopper by Delegate Bartlett. Through their terms the Community Club of Chugiak would be permitted to buy ap- proximately 5 acres of land now used under special permits as a Community recreatio1al center site and Kenneth B. Laughlin of Anchorage would be permitted to purchase for trade and manufac- sturing purposes 39.06 acres of land along the Palmer-Anchorage | 
 1Eree private bills seek to re- cover money from the govern nlent for number of Alaskans. One.neeasure would pay eight AL aS1oa Railroad employees money Nor loss of tools and personal ef- fleets in the fire at the Anchorage Terminal Mechanical Building of The Alaska Railroad on January Is, 1851.

weight. Through all of. these op- erations the utmost caution is taken to preserve the fresh flavor and texture of the salmon.
 Anyone fortunate enough to visit an Alaska salmon cannery cannot help but be impressed with the scenes that are constantly enacted there and at other such canneries throughout the territory. To &C., tually work there and thus be a part of the great Alaska salmon industry is an awesome and un- forgettabIe experience. There is something gratifying in being a part of the steady march of prog ress that is bringing salmon into millions of homes everywhere.
 This is not a mechanical march of progress, but rather a living overture to humanity, throbbing with the lives of thousands of men and women, and played to the tune of millions of dollars. It opens softly with the seiners and tenders coming in sight after reaping the rich harvest of the sea, swells to a mighty roar with the canning of the fish, and fln- ally dies away to a faint echo with the steamer sailing away, loaded with thousands of cases of salmon = sailing away to bring the fruits of the Alaska salmon industry into all the world-canned salmon, our greatest food from the sea.

 Sale of Gold and Other Alaska
 Legislation
 Legislation allowing gold to seek it's own price was introduced by Delegate Bartlett in a measure permitting the sale of gold on the open market within the United States, Alaska and other territor- ies and possessions and exporta- tion of gold without any restric- tionS.
 Other bills would provide life time appointment of federal jud- ges in the Territory to replace four-year terms now allowed by law; permit removal of volcanic ash from portions of Katmai Ma tional Monument to aid in de- velopment of building materials in Alaska; call upon the Bureau of Labor Statistics to report to Congress at least every two years on cost-of-living and other statis- tics; allow mineral leasing on school sections in Alaska in con- nection with oil, gas, oil shale, phosphate, sodium and potassium; permit registration of judgments in or from the District Court for the Territory of Alaska; extend Federal Declaratory Judgments between Second and Fourth Divi- sions in the Territory in order to Act to Alaska; redefine boundary have boundary line correspond with natural dividing lines of the area such as rivers and mountains ridges; and permit payment of travel expenses for federal en- ployees newly appointed within Alaska for positions within the Territory. This last measure would place Alaskans on an equal footing with residents of contin- ental United States travel ex- penses and expenses of transpor- sonal effects are paid by the fed tation of household goods and per- era1 government when sent to as- signnents outside continental United States.

Through the years the Alaska salmon industry has played an important part in the development of the territory. Its operations have furnished employment to many thousands, and its taxes have paved the way for the steadily increasing prosperity that Alaska has enjoyed ever since 1867.
 The industry has also played a major role in the steady march of progress that has brought the delights of Alaska salmon into millions of homes the world over. Through the Fisheries Research Institute, supported by its mem- bers, the Alaska salmon industry is constantly delving into the mys- tery of the salmon, both to in- crease the annual catch and to in- sure the perpetuation of this great natural resource.
 In addition to it's scientific studies, the industry has con- stantly improved and perfected its canning methods until, today, the Alaska salmon cannery is one of the most efficient operations to be found anywhere.
