Local Shipments Abourd Burning Ship

Word was received this morning by Fred Zieke, Co., Op general manager that Coastwise Lines s. s. LICK, reported afire at Cape Spen- cer, just out of Juneau, is carrying 200 tons of fertilizer and 81 tons of seed for the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating Association.
 The seed was reported stor- ed in the No. 2 hatch where the fire is believed to be con- fined. Zieke said this means the Coop will have to get busy and duplicate the order, for water will destroy the seeds, even if they are not burned.
 A U. s. Coast Guard vessel has reached the ship and is assisting the crew in fighting the fire, Zieke was told. They expect to make the port of Valdez tonight.
 Ketchikan Spruce Mills of Palmer have a shipment of roofing material aboard.

PLEASE SIGN NEWS ITEMS SENT TO PAPER

Now and then The Frontiers man receives news items thr- ough the mail. Many of them we are able to use, for the ar ticles are signed and we feel reasonably sure that the re- port is correct. However, now and then an article comes into the office without a signature and we are unable to use the information without first in vestigating to be sure the ar ticle is correct. This week a news-worthy article was re- ceived in the office but was not signed. A local woman and her two sons were featured in the article and upon investigation it was found that the woman knew nothing of the story be- ing released to the papers and said it was exaggerated. The same article had been sent to an Anchorage paper and print ed as submitted.
 The Frontiersman welcomes any kind of local interest stor- ies. In fact they invite inter ested persons to send in news items, however, as a policy of the paper, may we ask that they please be signed.

The season is approaching when tourists and transcients will once more be inundating the highways. Many will be out camping and picnicing. It is not generally realized that most of the land in the Valley is private ly owned, and that, even if it were not, dumping of trash is prohibited along the roads.
 Section G, 1, of the Alaska Traffic Laws, prohibits the dump ing of trash and hardware upon the road. Title 40, Chapter 9, Section 2 and 3, of Alaska Com piled Laws Annotated 1949 was designed to protect an area with in 200 feet of roadways from the dumping of garbage, offal, dead animals or any other matter which might be obnoxious to the public or in ahy way endanger the health of the community. Tin cans, unless thoroughly washed and sterilized, are a potential health hazard. The act provides that any person convicted of vio- lating the act is to be fined not less than 10 nor more than 50 dollars, or to. be imprisoned not less than five nor more than A days, or both fine and imprison- ment.

ROADS AND HIGHWAYS
 TO BE POSTED AGAINST DUMPING

Lloyd Morley. sanitation con- sultant of the Alaska Department of Health. in answering a request from the local Riverbend Home makers club for information on the subject. had this 10 say:
 While in Juneau the past month I worked in cooperation with the Territorial Police and the Commissioner of Highways on developing a sign for posting along the roads and highways of Alaska prohibiting garbage dump ing. At the present time bids have been called for on these ;igns and the use of these signs throughout the Territory will be a cooperative venture with the three agencies involved.
 Tt is my understanding that any citizen can file a complaint against any other citizen they catch dumping garbage along the highway. If a person can only ob- tain the license number, this should be reported to he Terri torial Police so they can make an investigation.
 'You will note that this ex- pressly prohibits the dumping of garbage, trash, putrid, nauseous and other offensive substances

NEW YORK, April .3.-A
pleasant-faced bank teller told
the FBI today she pigeonholed
some $4,000 in bad checks be-
cause she didn't want to en-
barrass persons who wrote them.
In addition. the FBI said. Mrs.
Helen De Berto, Al. admitted
taking $4,000 to pay expenses
Of an improbable diner oper-
ated by her husband.
These disclosures rocked the
little city Of Wappingers Falls,
N. Y, where Mrs. De Berto was
born. raised and worked for 81
years.
Since she was 20 she had been
bookkeeper and teller at the Ma
tional Bank Of Wappingers Falls,
Although paid only $50 a week,
she had almost complete control
over bank records, the FBI said.
Last Monday the bank fired
Mrs. De Berto and reported its
suspicious to police. Since the
Federal Reserve Act was in,
volved, the FBI stepped in. To-

day the agency said Mrs. De
Berto broke down and issued
her statement.
The teller said she tucked the
bad checks into a safe during
1852 and 1853 because she "felt
sorry for their authors. The
bank simply went ahead and
paid them without notifying the
writer's.
AS to the money for her hus-
bands diner. Mrs. De Berto said
she credited some $4,000 to her
own checking account between
1949 and 1851. The luncheon
cite was sold as a Failure in
1852.
The FBI said the bad checks
would have to be made good.
Presumably a company which
bonded Mrs. De Berto will bring
suit against the authors.
Mrs. De Berto waived exami-
nation after being charged with
violation of the Federal Reserve
Act and was released under
$4,000 bail.

Governor Proposes
Statehood for Only
Half Of Territory
BY III. A.soeio.ed Pres.

Gov. B. Frank Heintzleman of
Alaska last night proposed that
objections to full Alaskan state
hood be removed by permitting
only the populated and developed
part of the territory to come into
the Union.
This would leave over half the
vast northland still in the status
of a Territory.
In a letter to House Speaker
Martin, Gov. Heintzleman Sug-
gested that such an amendment
be written into the Hawaii
Alaska statehood bill approved
by the Senate on Thursday. The
House has approved statehood
for Hawaii and Mr.. Martin said
Friday he didn't see much chance
for approval of the Senate's
combination bill.
Objections to Alaskan state
hood, the Governor said, have
been based on "a feeling in the
past in the minds of many that
Alaska can not carry the flnan-
cial burden of statehood in it's
present state of development"
THE extreme vastnesS of the
remote and undeveloped land
areas within the present terri
tory" he said, "are largely re-
sponsible for these misgivings on
the part of those who have op-
posed the granting of statehood
at this time"
The present low productivity
of these areas stretching approx
imately 100000 square miles
along the Arctic Ocean and the
Bering Sea. is likely to be in
creased in the future, Gov.
Heintzleman said. adding:
Nevertheless this part of the
territory must be policed and
administered, imposing a heavy
burden on the resources of the
new State at the most critical
period in its history"
The 250,000 square miles which
would be given immediate state
hood under his proposal, the
Governor said, would include all
the lands lying east of the
Shelikof Strait and the 152d
meridian of longitude and south

7 traditional
Lines Inspire
Designers
By Dorothy Bihlmon
Siur Siof Correspondent

CHICAGO, nl.-On with the
show! The press was given q
preview look at the new To-day
in Tradition" exhibit which Is
one Of the permanent exhibitions
in The Merchandise Mart and
open the year-round to the pub
lie. This show was conceived to
emphasize the continuity of de-
sign. as reflected in the adapta-
ton Of the traditional to the
contemporary in furniture and
home furnishings. It is changed
every six months to keep pace
with the latest trends.
Selections for the current ex-
hibition were made on the basis
of quality of manufacture. dis
tinguishing characteristics re-
tanned from the original sources,
and suitability for today's living
needs.
This years selection includes
more pieces Of furniture than
the previous show. largely be-
cause of the increased number of
excellent examples of traditional
designs submitted. Fabrics and
portable lamps are more COM
prehensively covered. too.
The more than eighty pieces
chosen by the committee for the
new show have been arranged
in some fifteen separate, har-
monious color and period-in-
fiuence groupings by Tom Lee.
In analyzing the show, Mr.. Lee
pointed out the outstanding note
in the collection was the in
creased trend toward Palladian
and other classic styles which,
baSically. all stem from classic
Greek design. This was obvi-
GUS in the holdings and column
treatments in many of the pieces
although most are Simplified in
their application to fit contem-
porary uses and not over elabo-
rated as in the case of Regency.
Informal Touch
Informal finishes and COM
binationS of woods, such as fruit
wood. yew and walnut, is the new
trend. The beauty of the wood
rather than false or high finishes
is the important thing. How
ever. that old, lovable standby
mahogany is not in the picture
this season. Practically all of
the wood pieces in the exhibition
are of cherry. with walnut plac-
ing a close second.
While there we're some very
large pieces in the exhibition.
such as double chests and china
cabinets, in general the designs
have been scaled down in pro-
portion to fit smaller modern
housing without sacrificing the
comfort or line. (The modern
line Of furniture seems to be
expanding in size. while the ira
ditional is diminishing in Size).
However. the light scale look
