THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
Touchdown Votes

Attorney General J. Gerald Will Hams is quite an open field runner, as they refer to it in the football lingo. when he gets the ball tucked under his arm in the political arena. He has a knack for scoring those touchdown votes when he needs them on election day.
 This week, carrying the Fidalgo Island Packing company case ball, Jerry reversed his field and dashed for the Supreme Court. The Attor- ney General in press release, neatly timed from Anchorage, his former home town, and Juneau, an nounced that he is preparing pet ition requesting the U. $. Supreme Court to review the Ninth Circuit Court decision in the Fidalgo case. Jerry, who says in his release that he has given the matter his most serious consideration and reflec- tion" declares that he is convinced that it is in the best interest or "all the people of the Territory, and therefore his duty, to make ev- cry effort to preserve the solvency of the ESC fund Having lost three attempts for touchdown, the gen lal Jerry apparently is going 10 make one more attempt.
 The Fidalgo case goes back to 1853 when an Employment Secur- declared cannery workers seasonal and therefore not entitled to unemploy- ment payments. The matter was taken to the district court on grounds cannery workers were en- titled to payments. The late Judge George Folta held for the cannery workers and Jerry took the case to the Ninth C+~crit court in San Francisco which upheld Folta. Jer- ry asked for review and agalh the circuit court reaffirmed.
 The Attorney General let it be known that he was through fight ing the case and the ESC started to process payment checks to those englDle, even Hdu 9'hl O"'
 slips advising the beneficiary ho" much the payment would be.
 This week further processing was held in abeyance Jerry had decid- ed to make another run with the ball
 Heads of labor unions, encom- passing largely construction work CTS in the Westward and Interior, are in favor of keeping the F $ C fund high enough to assure their workers. not seasonal, of unemploy- ment payments There are a lot of votes up to the Westward Could be that touchdown-bound Jerry is after 'em.

When?-Neverw
On the question of increasing
the speed limit to 65 miles per hour
for daylight driving the sentiments
of most groups was expressed by
saying 65 mph might be OK. on
express and freeways. Some sug-
gested drivers would be watching
the road instead of cops. Most
/ groups felt the condition of the
road determined the speed limit
and that no one should drive over
so mph after dusk
No tighter enforcement was sug-
gested as to whether chains or spe-
cial winter tires be required All
but one group gave a negative
opinion on requiring people to take
high speed test.
Divided opinion was expressed
on whether auto manufacturers be
prohibited from making high
speed cars. Governors on cars were
felt to be a poor approach to the
! solution of the speed problem.
There also was split opinion on
whether Maryland should have a
five-year compulsory re-eXamina-
ton for all operators. Most groups
saw no necessity in requiring driv-
ers of new cars to take a two hour
dual instruction before receiving
title.
There seemed to be confusion on
the function and necessity of safe
ty belts, but most groups felt they
should be used by those who de-
sired them but no enforcement was
necessary.
Groups were unanimous in say
