Courts System Signed Into Law By-Acting Governor

JUNEAU, R - Alaska is as- sured a three-man supreme court and an eight-judge superior court by January 3, 1862 - and they could be operating before then.
 Machinery for setting up Alas ka's first state court system was covered in a bill signed Saturday by acting Governor Hugh Wade.
 The law provides for the new courts to virtually begin operat- ing immediately if jurisdiction of the present judicial system is held invalid. The 1862 date would con- form with the expiration of the three-year transitional approved by Congress for the start of the new court system.
 Jurisdiction is being tested in two separate actions before the Ninth Circuit Court at San Fran cisco. An appeal from Anchorage challenges the jurisdiction of Alas ka courts to hear federal cases. An appeal from Fairbanks challenges the right of the circuit court to hear appeals from the lower courts of Alaska.

WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan have proposed that the Western allies adopt a three-point approach to a summit conference with Soviet Premier Khrushchev this summer.
 It was learned today that this was the compromise formula agreed on in talks between the two Western leaders at Camp David, Md, on Saturday.
 Now under discussion by West German Chancellor Konrad Aden- auer and French President Charles De Gaulle, it represents a compromise between MacMl- lan's urgent desire to meet with Khrushchev internationally and Eisenhower's reluctance to meet without primise of achievement.
 The three points:
 l. The Big Four powers - the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union - should open a foreign ministers meeting at Ge- neva May II; Khrushchev has all ready substantially agreed to this. The foreign ministers should reach agreements on the widest possible range of German and re- lated problems, try to narrow So- viet-West differences and prepare

Spokane Campfire Girl Murdered
 By 'Maniac' Hand

SPOKANE, R - An aroused police force vowed today to find the killer of Candy Rogers, g. year-old Campfire firl whose rav- ished body was found in a clump of woods after a 16-day search.
 Well put every available man on the case and keep them there until the thing is solved" said Police Chief Clifford Payne, father of a daughter aged g.
 "We know what we're looking for now. We're looking for a maniac"
 He said it appeared the child had been picked up on a street corner, raped, strangled with a piece of her own slip, then buried under a pile of brush miles from town - all within few hours, IT days ago.
 Never before has Spokane or it's police force been so stirred by a case. The pretty fourth-grade vanished March 6 while selling Campfire mintS door to door near her home.
 Police found six boxes of mints scattered near bridge in the 12 hours that followed the disap- pearance, then ran into a blank wall despite 75O tips from sub stantial citizens, skid row buns and tea leaf readers.
 Two enlisted men from Fair child Air Force Base found a small pair of blue suede shoes Sat urday while hunting woodchucks in remote woods 12 miles from town.
 At dawn. Sunday, a half dozen officers gathered at the scene of the airmen's discovery. A patrol man spotted a knee sticking out from under a pile of faded pine needles.
 An autopsy showed little Candy had been raped. Her legs had been tied by piece of her petticoat. Another piece was strung around her neck. There was blood on her face and neck.
 The grim discovery ended the biggest manhunt in the history of this city of 180,O0O. Police said it also started an even bigger one.

Six Days Behind - '59ers Still Plodding Along On Alcan Highway Trek

SUMMIT LAKE, B. C., R l. More troubles are hitting Michi- gan's pioneering '59ers whose original schedule called for them to be in Alaska today.
 The hardy band, which plans to settle as homesteaders on Alas ka's Kenai Peninsula, was six days behind schedule but still plodding along.
 The latest mishap occurred yes terday when the '59ers new trail er-truck broke down with a blown piston.
 Still the modern-day pioneers continued 114 miles on to this waypoint along the Alcan High way. Bright sunshine and zero weather greeted them in Summit Lake, a community with a service station, cafe and hotel all in a single building.
 Another mishap occurred when Mrs. Eleanor Rubino drove into a snow bank as the caravan was crossing the steep Canadian Rock ies. She wasn't hurt and her car wasn't damaged. But it took quite bit of pulling to get her car free.

in the college baseball season,
neither the Atlantic Coast Con-
ference, where Maryland is in
a first-place tie, nor the South

So tight are things in the
