 On display already in the mu- scum are the fossil skulls and horns of about five types of an cient bison which roamed Alaska during the Pleistocene period from 10000 to 3O,O0O years ago.
 A total of 28,6O0 persons viewed these and other museum displays last year. The museum is in the Eielson Memorial Building on the campus.

BPW Seeks Equal Rights for Wo. men Re Incorporated in Alaskan Constitution
 This article is the concluding one of two, written by a member of the BPW, which appeared in last weeks issue of the Kodiak Mirror.
 It has often jokingly been said. Never underestimate the power of woman" That has ceased to be humorous, and has been proven true many times in recent years Economists admit that the male income is spent largely by the wo- man of the family, therefore busi- nesses direct their advertising to her. President Eisenhower has ap- pointed several women to judge ships for the simple reason as he says, They are better qualified for the job" They have been ac- cepted in the legal and scientific fields as well as in business.
 Tn government they have made outstanding contributions. Note such women as Margaret Chase Smith, Edith Nourse Rogers, Kath- crime St. George, Oveta Culp Hob by and Clare Booth Luce, to name just few.
 We need not go beyond our own city of Kodiak to see the contribu- tons women make we have busi- ness women, women members of the City Council and the School Board, the nursing and teaching professions.
 The women of the BPW Clubs have shown themselves interested not only in their own status but in the future status of all women when they drew up Equal Rights Amendment. This was drawn up in 1887 and introduced in the House by Representative Katherine St. George on the opening day of the S4th Congress, January 5, 1855.
 The passage of this plank will provide basis in law whereby dis crimination against women may be challenged and specific corrective legislation enacted. The Amend ment has 199 co-sponsors in the House = the highest number on re- cord.
 This plank would permit jury service for women in all Federal Courts. Some states permit this now but there are those that do not.
 One of the most important aspects of this plank is that it would re- move and prevent discrimination on basis of age, sev or marital status, and would give equal pay for equal work Such a law would apply to interstate commerce, not to intra-State commerce.
 Such a law would also provide a uniform retirement age under the Social Security Act and would increase the amount of earned in- come permitted.
 This Act would also provide for tax adjustments directly affecting the interests of employed women, such as an income tax deduction permitted for costs of the care of dependents of working women, and a Iiberalized allowance of deduc- tions for medical care for wemen.
 Regardless of how we may feel personally on this issue, women have invaded every field in such great numbers and have proved themselves in them to such an ex- tent that it is only reasonable they should be given the same consid- eration men receive.

 His wire added:
 "As you know many of our newspapers, and particularly the small ones, are operating perilously close to the break even point. A further increase in the price of newsprint could be disastrous.

Stops Big Three discussion of Germun Unificution

GENEVA (F) Soviet foreign minister Molotov blocked in the Big Four conference open ing session today a move by the Western powers to begin i'm mediate detailed discussion of the twin issues of German unif ication and European security.
 Molotov's action prevented the United States, Britain and France from officially present ing their master plan on the two problems before the Soviet envoy was ready with a reply and Russia's own proposals on the subject.
 He thus prevented the West from getting an overnight lead on Russia in appeals to world opinion at the outset of the meeting.
 Secretary of state Dulles told Molotov earlier that, to win German unity, the United Sta. es is prepared to join in se- curity guarantees (which will preclude any revival of German miIitarism." This offer had heen worked out in advance with Britain and France.
 Dulles said progress in dis armament would depend not merely on agreeing to reduce a1unaments, but also on ade- quate inspection to assure "the agreed reductions will actually take place"

 This walking process was to be repeated several times dur- ing the day, James c. Hargerty presidential news secrtary, told reporters.
 The 45 minute discussion bro ught the presidents approval on many of the preliminary le- gislavive recommendations that have come in from the depart- ments for inclusion in the big legislative message.
 The White House staffers will now put the presidents suggestions into written form and there will be a series of conferences later as the mes sage is whipped into shape.
 Whether the president will deliver the message in preson is a matter his future progress will determine.
 While this work got the pre- sident's attention a little earl fer than usual, Hage1ty said the president favored consula- tions extending over longer period of time.

Wedding party rescued iron, beach after weeks stay

ANCHORAGE (P) The air force finished the 100 mile wed ding march of two Bethel couples yesterday. rescuing them and two other persons from the stormy beach upon which they had been marooned for a week.
 The two couples were identi- fled in meager dispatches from Bethel. 450 miles west of here as Owen Beaver, David o. Da- vid, Patti Snow and Marguer- ite Strauss. They started out Oct. 19 in boats for Kwillingak a village 100 miles downstream from Bethel at the mouth of the Kuskokwirn river, to be married.
 Two other persons also were forced ashore at the same point and it is believed they were in the wedding parry.
 Since going on the beach, the six had huddled about fires built from an ample stock of driftwood. Food and sleeping bags were dropped to them by a private pilot but the rescue had to await repair of dis aIbled helicopter which finally reached them on the 9th day.

U. N. can't agree on security council new member

NEW YORK tP) The United Nations general assembly took three more votes tdoay in an effort to break a deadlock over selection of security council member. But none of the bal lots produced the required two- thirds majority, and the assem- ply postponed further voting for 10 days.
 Today's first ballot was the 10th since the assembly first tangled two weeks ago over the seat which formerly had been held by Eastern European countries. The candidates for the seat are The Philippines, backed by the United States, and Yugoslavia, supported by Russia and the British Com monwealth countries. Russia originally backed Poland two weeks ago, but switched to Yugoslaviia when it became ob- vious Poland could not win.
 The Philippines got 30 votes on the first ballot today and Yugoslavia 24. The next two ballots produced no significant change toward giving either the necessary two-thirds. U. s delegate Henry Cabot Lodge suggested at least two more ballots be taken today. Brit aims Sir Pierson Dixon propo- sed the assembly postpone vot- ing for ten days. The assembly voted 21 to 8 in favor of the British proposal and the meeting was adjourned immed- lately.
