The appointment of William j,
Brennan to the United States
Supreme Court serves to high
light one of the most unusual
aspects /of American law in
existence.
THE situation is of special in
terest for two reasons:
Cd 1t permits a man who has
not been congressionally con-
firmed in Office to help deter
mine, for a time, what the
supreme law of the land" is.
(2) 1t permits the President,
if he should have a sudden
change of disposition, to bounce
the new appointee out of Office
prior to confirmation.
Does this sound odd in the face
of the Federal Constitution
which requires that all Supreme
Court justices be approved by the
Senate and that justices shall
hold their appointments for life?
Clause in Constitution
Well, there's a relatively OBJ
iscure clause of the Constitution
which says: "The President shall
have Power to fill up all Vacan-
cies that may happen during the
Recess of the Senate, by grant
ling Commissions which shall ex-
lpire at the End of their next
Session"
There has never been a SUI
preme Court Interpretation OF
this clause. although there have

cisions and Attorneys General

STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Diagnosis in Aging May Be Tricky
By DR.. PETER J. sTElNcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I have
heard or read somethere that it
is often difficult to make dag
nosis in an elderly person. Yet
last week doctors made a gall
bladder diagnosis on my grand
father, who is close to 80, They
operated and he is doing fine.
Sincerely, Mrs. L. Ct.
Answer-P erhaps if you
changed "often difficult" to
sometimes difficult" you would
be closer to the truth.
AS DR.. Paul Starr Of the Uni
yersity Of Southern California
has declared, there is sometimes
"blurring Of the clinical pic
ture' in the elderly. This may
be due to poor refiexes for ex-
ample, pain impulses are not we'll
transmitted or to poor glandu-
lar action.
1t is perhaps for such reasons
that the older patient Il have
seen many may have a severe
pneumonia and not even cough
or complain OF chest pain! Or
he may hobble around on a

pect unless YOU are always sus-

BY BILLY ROSE
President Eisenhower
Washington, D. c.

Washington, D. c.
Dear Mr.. President:
This is the last of six pieces
on my trip to the Iron Curtain
countries, and I address 1t to
you, sir, because, without know
ing it, you were pretty much re-
sponsible for my going.
May ] explain?
At Geneva about a year ago,
Mr.. John Foster Dulles and the
foreign ministers of Great Brit
ain and France presented a IT.
point program to Russia which
aimed to bring about such
freer contacts and exchanges as
ARE to the mutual advantage of
the countries and peoples con-
cerned."
Three of the II points had to
do with show business. Namely:
Point 6 suggested the ex-
change Of film at normal COM
mercial prices and on normal
commercial terms"
; Point 7 recommended Eek
changes of exhibitions between
the Soviet Union and the three
Western countries"
Point IA called for cultural
exchanges on reciprocal basis,
drawing on the best each has to
offer"
Never Accepted by SOviets
This program, as you know
was never accepted by the So
VETS. and more's the pity be-
cause, as you pointed out, ii
might have gone a long way to-
ward easing the tensions and
tantrums OF the world.
This summer, with the knoWl,
edge of the State Department
l went to Moscow and foul

exchange of artists you had pro.
posed. I know it was presump.
tious, but I was curious to fine
out whether a Broadway show.
man, with no official credentials
couldn't get them to see the
wisdom of Point IA, and agree
to the swap they had pre-
viously rejected.
The result, sir, was five agree
mentS in principle which pro.
vide for an exchange of up t.
1000 performers in 1857, anc
at terms which are right dowr
the middle and fair to botf
sides. These documents were
forwarded to the State Depart.
ment by our embassies abroaC
and, shortly after my return,
went to Washington and dis.
cussed this program with the
officials in charge of interna.
tional cultural relations.
l hope you won't think In
naive enough to believe thai
such an exchange would caust
Nikita Khrushchev and his con.
freres to suddenly switch sig.
mails and cool down the Hot

icated and fanatical men. Their
methods may change-their OBJ
jectiyes never. And, If l may
crib a line from Mr.. Bernard
Baruch, I don't think we should
ever fall asleep with our fingers
in their mouths.
! Sees met Gain for Our Side"
Nevertheless, from what I saw
and heard. I'm certain there are
millions of people behind the
Iron Curtain whose dedication
is less than utter And I'm GER
tain it could only show a net
gain for our side if we were to
convince these people ca that
we haven't forgotten them, and
tb) that we can give a good
account of ourselves in any cul-
tural exchange.
OF course, somebody is bound
to bring up the old argument
that all Communists, even ball
lerinas and balalaika players,
are spies. This, l submit, is so
much jabberwocky. If the Com
munists want the lowdown on a
new nuclear gimmick, they're a
cinch to use trained technicians
who know what to look for, not
stage people who don't know a
proton from pastrami. It's my
belief you could explain the for
mula for smashing the atom to
Obraztsoy, their great puppeteer,
and by the time he got it back
to the Kremlin it would be a
recipe for chicken outlet Kiev-
sky.
How would Communist enter
tainment stack up against ours?
Pretty well, sir, when it came to
the time-teSted and traditional
forms. However, in the fields OF
modern music and stagecraft
we would run looping circles
around them, as witness their
reactions to "Porgy and Bess, :
which knocked them off their
proletarian pins.
Cost Is Relatively Low
To sum up, I'm convinced
that a substantial swap of music
and laughter. as suggested by
Point IA. can only make people
there feel bit better about
people over here. It's hard to
despise a nation when your feet
are beating time to its music
May l, therefore. respectfully
ask, Mr.. President, that you give
your approval and support to the
program I have mapped out for
the practical experimentation of
your Point IA. What would ii
cost? The total tab, sir. would
be less than what it costs to put
a new coat of paint on a battle
ship.
Respectfully,
BILLY ROSE.

There Is Open Land Available For Homesfeads

Many newcomers to the Terri- tory, especially service personnel. have expressed the desire to make their permanent homes here thru Alaska's homestead program.
 All unappropriated and unre- served public land in Alaska. adapt able to any agricultural use. not mineral or saline in character. nor occupied for the purpose of trade or business, and outside the limits of an incorporated city, is available for homesteading.
 The only requirements for home stealing is that the applicant be 2f years of age or the head of a fam fly. citizen of the United States, and that he not own 160 acres.
 A homestead settlement may be made on either surveyed or unsur- veyed public land To secure the land against adverse claim, a settler on unsurveyed land must file a mo- tiee for reeordation within 90 days after settlement with the land of flee on the fourth floor of the Fed eraI building If the settlement is on surveyed land. homestead ap- plieation must be filed with the land office within 90 days. A fee of Sl0 is charged for recording notice: a homestead application fee Is 8, or $10 if more than 8l acres is involved.
 Residence must be established within months following land of flee registration. and continued in good faith for three years. A settler may leave the land for only two periods each year, not amounting to more than five months per year. This residence requirements can be amended in some cases.
 One eighth of the property must be cultivated by the second year, and a habitable house erected by the time proof that the claimant has complied with the regulations is given. Settlers on unsurveyed land are entitled to free survey if this proof is given in five years time or less.
 Any war veteran. from any branch of the service. who has been honorably discharged. is entitled to have period equal to the term of his service in the armed forces. not exceeding two years. deducted from the three years residence and cultivation requirements. Thus a war veteran, with i9 months of mil- itary service, needs to reside on the land for a period of seven months only, erect habitable house. and may avoid the cultivation require ments if he completes his months of residence during the first year and submits proof before the cul- tivable season of the second
 Although many of the most de- sirable and accessible property has already been settled. vast amounts of good land are still available In- terested persons are urged to con- tact the land office for further in formation.

Alaska Abounds In Big Game; License Requirements Listed For Newcomers To Territory

Each year the excitement of hunt ing and fishing in Alaska greets thousands of new service personnel. The local Panama Valley Sportsmen's Association receives thousands of requests for information on hunt ing and fishing in Alaska
 Such information would fill vel- tune larger than War and Peace" However. the local association ad- vises that interested persons:
 l. For fish. game, and license laws. write to the Fish and Wild life Service. Juneau, Alaska
 2. For "Alaska's Fish and Wild 1ife.a write to the Superintendent Of Documents, Washington 25, D.ca and ask for circular no. r. Enclose g cents.
 3. Go the the public library It's g big subject.
 Licenses and fees are as follows: Alaska Territory fishing stamp: nonresident. 8; resident. $1 plus 10 per cent. Resident licenses. fish ing, S1 hunting and fishing, 8: trapping. hunting, and fishing. $3 Nonresident fees: fishing, $250: small game and fishing $10; hunt ing and fishing. $50. Nonresident hunting and fishing requires a trained guide for big game. One year residence is required for a res ident license.
 Fly Fishing
 The best bet for fly fishermen is the Arctic Crawling. found in many of the clear, cold tributaries of the Panama or Yukon. The fish grows to a maximum of 9 inches. but is tasty and easy to catch.
 The Great Northern Pike abounds in the many lakes in the Interior They aren't classed as Alaska game fish, so there is no limit Fisher men with casting or spinning rods will have best success with a wob- bling flashy spoon. to which these beauties take like wildfire.
 Paxson's, Fielding, and Summit lakes are easily reached by Fair banks anglers. and feature an abun- dance of lake trout. These fellows take to plugs and spoons in shallow water early in the season and in deeper water later on.
 One of the biggest fishing thrills in the Interior is nabbing a shee fish on the other end of your line. They're not too easy to find in this area, and are not easy to take with a rod and reel when found. That's one reason they're such q thrill. But keep trying in. the Panama and Cinema rivers: they're there.
 Salmon abound in the Panama and Yukon. It's a unique experience to see the natives taking salmon in their fish wheels along the river.
 Trout fishermen will be sorry to learn that there are no Cutthroats or Dollies in this area. There are but few Rainbows. although this variety is being built up through lake rehabilitation programs.
 There are no pickerel, spiney rayed fish, or muskellunge in Alas ka.

For the newly arrived big game hunters. here are a few tips on AL askan wildlife.
 Everyone would like to bag a moose, that's certain. But if an AL askan hunter wants one badly enough, he must go prepared to properly butcher and pack out from TOO to 300 pounds of meat. The moose is the king of Alaska's ani- nal kingdom. and sometimes mea- sures seven feet at the shoulder
 Big Game
 With moose. as with other game, hunters are obliged to save and hse the meat. and a moose. shot in wilderness country and far from the nearest stream, can give a man a thoroughly miserable time.
 The prize of all Interior game is the pure white Dali sheep. This animal has nasty reputation: it takes tae toughest going to get a ram. and you get him if you earn him. This is the best eating of all wild meat, found in the Alaskan range to the south and the Brooks range to thes north.
 The caribou, which will probably be the first big game animal of the Territory to die out in the face of marching progress, can be found along the Taylor and Steese high ways. Most of them are bagged on their annual migration. But if a hunters in caribou country in sea- son, he won't be alone.
Jessen's weekly., 1956-07-26
 Rrufn

There are no brown bears north of the Alaska Range. .It's close rel ative, the grizzly, can give man just as much trouble. however. Bears are most commonly found along salmon streams after the fish come up to spawn. Black bears usually wander closer to civiliza- ton than grizzlies do. Ga mother and her young cubs were making their home in Fairbanks suburb recently but are also found along salmon streams.
 Hunt small game. such as ptarni- gan and grouse, in higher areas un- til late September. Rabbits are plen- tiful, with no season or limit re- quirements.. The waterfowl season opens too late to be of much conse- quenee, but hunters generally have good luck in the Minto lakes. wost small game seem to run in cycles as they do elsewhere.
 Information on seasons. limits, and hunting and fishing regu1a- tions may be obtained by writing to the Fish and Wildlife Service in Juneau.
 Anyone interested in membership in the Panama Valley Sportsmen's s Association is urged to write the club at Box 66a. Fairbanks. Book lets on Fishing and hunting in rhe Interior are available from the club.
