Three Engineering g Scholarships At
 Alaska University

Three $35O scholarships to stu dy engineering at the University of Alaska this year, have recent ly been established by Alaska Airlines Of Seattle, through Charles F. Willis, Jr., the com pany's president.
 One scholarship will go to a graduate from each of three pub lie high schools - Anchorage, Fairbanks and Nome.
 ''This is a splended opportu- nifty for some young student to help defray university expenses, 2 Dr. Ernest N. Patty. U. of A. pres ident, said, If speed is used to apply and establish qualifica- tions by September r.
 Those interested in the grants should, immediately, contact the high school superintendent or the main Alaska Airlines official in one of the three cities.
 The scholarships are for a period of one year, and prefer ence will be given to students with an interest and aptitude for study in aeronautical engineering or commercial aviation admin istration.
 Selection for the grants will be made by the University scholar ship committee on the basis of character, scholarship, and need, after receiving nominations from the high school superintendent.
 Recipients of the Alaska Air lines scholarship must maintain a 'B" average at the University or the remainder of the grant will be forfeited at the end of the first semester. In future years the selections will be made in the spring so that the award winners can be announced at high school commencement.

 The post, by one means or an other, with have several delegates at the convention but the most colorful undoubtedly will be H. Everett Hoy, past Commander of the Seward post and currently it's historian as well as adjutant of the Western district.
 Hoy, who bills himself as "Old Sourdough Bill" will fly to the convention at his own expense.
 He wears a beard and will be in full oldtime Alaskan style - blackboard, snowshoes, gold-pan and six-shooter - empty.
 Old Sourdough Bill is not quite the real Mccoy, however. He has only been in Alaska 25 years.

.NUCLEAR SCIENTIST DEAD IN CALF.

PALO ALTO, Calf. R-Ernest 10. Lawrence, nuclear fission pioneer and Nobel Prize winner, died last night after surgery at Palo Alto Hospital. He was 57.
 Dr. Lawrece had suffered ul- cerative colitis for years, his doc tor said.
 The director of the University of California's radiation labora- tory had joined other top-level scientists at Geneva in an inter national conference on scientific detection of nuclear explosions, but was forced by illness to fly home last month.
 Dr. Lawrence invented the atom shattering cyclotron, an in- strument for converting one ele- ment into another, in 1880. His first one cost $25.
 He built one of the words great scientific laboratories around his cyclotrons on the University s Berkeley campus. The instru- ments played a key role in devel- oping the first nuclear bomb, producing the first self-exploding uranium 235.
 From the laboratory, which Lawrence has directed since 1886, came numerous discoveries of the nature of matter, new substances to fight disease and promote ag- riculture, science and industry.
 Dr. Lawrence won the Nobel Prize in 1889 for his cyclotron discovery.

 The Rev. Bob Green, Episco- pal minister at Tanacross, com plained that election officials at the village of Northway were taking the constitutional provi- sion too seriously.

|U. $. Puts Weather Probing Satellite Into Orbit
By JACK KING

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, R - A weather probing Vanguard satellite was blasted into space today and preliminary instrument tation showed the rockets three engines performed normally.
 That meant the huge rocket blazed some 300 miles high in space, probably reaching a speed of 18,00O miles per hour.
 An official announcement said, however, that it was not yet known whether orbital height was obtained. This should be deter mined within about 215 hours.
 The 72-foot bullet shaped rock ct housed a 20-inch, 211S-pound satellite which, if orbited suc- cessfully, could spot large storm masses such as hurricanes and typhoons as they build up, around the earth.
 This was the seventh try at shooting a composite three-stage Vanguard, with only one success chalked up to date.
 It was also the first time a Vanguard had been fired suc- cessfully in two months. During the interim, the slender missile was checked out from top to bottom and a few minor adjust ments made in the first two stages.
 An attempted launching of this same rocket was scrubbed last week when an electrical break down caused automatic engine cutoff a split second before lift up. The mighty Vanguard en- zines ignited then with a flash, but shut down just as quickly when the trouble developed.
 The main mission of the seeing eye" moon was to measure the movement and disposition of cloud cover around the world to aid meteorological studies. Two light sensitive photoelectric cells were carried in the satellite to do the job.
