Britain Suffering
Under Worst Fog
Since 80 Disaster

LONDON, R-Slight northeast
winds today broke up Britain's
worst fog in three years. But the
weatherman said relief was only
temporary.
The forecast was for another
choking night of the smoke-laden
pail that has gripped southern
England for the past 48 hours,
hating all air service to and from
London.
Into the swirling mists, millions
of chimneys funneled SCOT, sui
phur dioxide and other coal-fire
by-products. Scientific teams an
alyzing the dense black vapor dur
ing the night said it was even
more poisonous than the Great
Smog of 1852 which claimed 1000
lives.
A spokesman for the British
Oxygen Co. said more emergency
calls for oxygen were received
yesterday than ever before.
THE number of patients with
chest diseases has greatly in
creased in the hospitals since the
Smog descended a m d numerous
hospitals have asked for oxygen
tanks to meet the emergency" he
explained.
Police said the last "a hours had
been the hospitals busiest of the
winter, and scores of people col
lapsed on the streets.
There were no official reports of
smog fatalities. One hospital said
it would take weeks to determine
what deaths were attributed TO the
fog.

The will was approved yester-
day in superior court. Each wom-

Scientist Hopes
Trip North Will Be
Colder Than 80

SEATTLE, R-Sir Hubert Will
kins was heading north Friday
with the hope that it will be cold
er than it was last year, when sit
only got down to 80 below"
The British explorer stopped
off here enroute to Anchorage to
take part in Operation Moosehorn,
the winters weather exercise.
He is a consultant with the Army's
QuartermaSter Research and De-
velopment Command.
Sir Hubert deplaned Thursday
wearing experimental white boots.
His neatly clipped Van Dyke
beard was almost hidden in the
folds of an experimental parka.
He said the boots have an air
chamber to keep feet warm at 70
below zero and are completely
waterproof. Seattle offered a test
of the waterproof feature with its
rain but couldn't oblige Sir HUI
bert's desire for cold.
Another feature of the boots is
a safety valve" Last year, said
Sir Hubert, some of the boots blew
up in airplane tests as the air ex-
banded at increasing attitudes.
Scared lot of people" he said.
Features of the experimental
parka include an extended sleeve
to cover the hand. A man can free
his fingers to adjust scientific in
struments, then tuck them back
inside the warm sleeve.

ANCHORAGE, ga Civil Air

The pilot reported the bodies of
Simeon, 40, his wife, 35, and their
three children, ranging in age
from l to IA, were beside their

also were dead.
Searchers said all apparently
were the victims of exposure.
The Wasselas left Newhalen on
Dec. 81 behind their dog team for
Iguigig, some so miles distant on
the tip of the lake. Three other
families were in the party. They
arrived at Iguigig Saturday and
said they lost track of the Was
sellas when they dropped behind
after leaving NeWhalen.
A search party was started on
Wednesday when they were five
days overdue at Iguigig.
A party was sent in Friday to
recover the bodies.

Citizens Of Alaska
State Can Amend
Own Constitution
By FLORENCE DOUTHIT

FAIRBANKS, R-The right of
citizens Of the future state of Al
aska to amend their own constitu-
tion was upheld yesterday by men
and women who are framing the
document
Delegates to the Constitutional
Convention voted BAIT against a
proposal to permit the first two
legislatures to revise or amend
the constitution, leaving it entirely
up to the people,
The article, as finally approved
after days of Wearying debate,
stipulated that the legislature may
make revisions or amendments,
but the changes are subject to rat
ification by the people.
Changes must be approved by a
two thirds vote of each house of
the legislature and then submitted
to the voters at the next general
election.
Delegates left it to the legisla-
ture, however, to set up another
Constitutional Convention. They
decided if one is not called within
each 1O-year period, voters at the
next general election will be
asked: Shall there be a Constitu-
tional Conventions"

the constitution Bill of Rights
article and engaged in lengthy
discussion of the equality of men,
and a section reading:
mo person is to be denied the
enjoyment of any civil or political

The convention decided the adj
miniStration of criminal justice

ciple of reformation, as we'll as on
the need to protect the public.
AS originally phrased, the arti-

Society's Great Affection
Is Present Generation
Doesn't Think Enough

LOS ANGELES, R-Modern
society's greatest afflication, says
a University of Michigan psychol-
ogist, is that the present genera
tion doesn't have to do enough
thinking.
DR. Wilma Donahue told 5000
members of the Los Angeles
County Medical Assn. that one of
the best ways to keep young is to
continue to use the brain, "for
without using it constantly, brain
cells atrophy just as muscle cells
do when there is lack of exercise"
She said yesterday that she is
convinced children today to less
thinking than their grandparents.
Everything is done for us" she
said. eve are told what to think
and seldom have to meet new stu
ations. The farmer of the past had
to meet some new crisis every
day. Less thinking means that
only 10 percent of this generation
really are creative people.

Democratic Committeeman Demand
Ike Give Flat Yes or No ON Statehood

WASHINGTON R-DemOcratC
committee chairmen who hold the
reins on statehood legislation
called on President Eisenhower to-
day to say yes or no on Alaska.
eff the President comes out flat
footed for Alaska We'll report both
it and Hawaii out" declared Sen.
jackson D-Wash, chairman of
the Senate Territories subcommit-
tee.
I'm willing to give the state
hood bills another try if l get def
mite word what the White House
wants in an Alaska statehood bill
and assurance that the President
will sign it," said Rep. Engle Cd
CaliH, chairman of the House In
sular Affairs Committee.
The Presidents remarks on AL
aska yesterday brought this retort
from Engle: ''The lack of progress
during last years session can be
attributed directly to the inability
of the White House to make up its
mind what kind of Alaska bill it
wanted. We offered to write any
thing the President desired as to
authority for military reservations
in Alaska"
The President referred in his
message to provisions l last year
communicated to the Senate and
House Committees on Interior and
Insular Affairs" His only known
communication was a letter adj
dressed to Sen. Jackson and Rep.
Miller, ranking COP members of
the House committee.
in that letter he expressed his
doubt that any form of legislation
would completely remove his APP
prehension about giving Alaska
immediate statehood. But he said
he would give earnest considera-
ton" to a bill embodying a pro-
posal made by Secretary of Inter
ior Mckay.
Mckay had requested giving the
President authority to make land
Withdrawals for defense purposes
in an area totaling about $4,000
square miles in northern and
western Alaska.
The Hawaii-Alaska statehood
bill defeated in the House last year
embodies an amendment by Dele
gate Bartlett designating an area
of $1,000 square miles for poten-
tial defense withdrawal
Bartlett said yesterday that he
would yield to the Mckay propos-
al if it were the only way to get
administration support for Alaska
statehood.
Delegate Harrington (R-HawaiD
said Eisenhower considers the
problems of Hawaii and Alaska
totally different and has "separat-
ed the subjects"
Jackson told a reporter, how
ever, that he considers the prob
lens of each territory as similar.
"The only way that statehood
can be resolved effectively and
taken out of politics is for the
President to make the same state
ment for Alaska and Hawaii he
said.
