Congressman Doubts Alaska Statehood
 Holds If Egan Presses Fisheries Control

WASHINGTON, R - Represen- tative Thomas Pelly R-Wash said yesterday 'There can be serious question as to whether or not Alas ka is a state" if contentious are correct it was unconstitutional to withhold Alaska's jurisdiction over it's fisheries.
 He said he based his statement on his understanding that if provision of the law is unconsti- tutional and If a court finds that the law apparently would not have been passed without that provi- sion, the whole act must be thrown out"
 Pelly said that Alaska's Gov- ernor William A. Egan and the state were ''in a most peculiar po- sition" as the result of a recent statement by Egan.
 Egan said Alaska would not agree to let any fish traps oper- ate, and that the state might chal- lenge constitutionality of the pro- vision of the statehood act with holding it's fisheries jurisdiction.
 ''The act authorized statehood only on the basis that the people of Alaska voted to approve the conditions that are in the act" Policy said. Among these was one that there should be a period of transition as to control of fish and game, and that during such per- iod, the federal laws should con- tinue in effect and fish and game remain under federal manage ment.
 "The important law, and the one in question to which Con- gress referred, is the White Act, under which fishing with traps is permissible, subject to general conservation limitations, the same as any other fishing gear"

Award Ruled Excessive In Suit Against Fulton Lewis

WASHINGTON, LR - U. s. Dis trict Judge George l.. Hart Jr. set aside today as excessive $145, GOO libel judgment won by Mrs. Pearl A. Wanamaker as a result of a broadcast by Fulton Lewis Jr.
 Judge Hart said that even by constructing the evidence most favorable to Mrs. Wanamaker, it was his opinion that the verdict was so excessive ''as to shock the conscience and lead to the con- clusion that the jury was influ- enced by passion or prejudice" >"
 Mrs. Wanamaker is a former superintendent of public instruc- tion in Washington State and long has been prominent nationally in educational circles.
 The Lewis broadcast on which the suit was based occurred Jan uary 6, 1856. Lewis said then that Mrs. Wanamaker had brother who had been in the State De- pertinent and who fled behind the Iron Curtain, renouncing his American citizenship for Com munism.
 In his next broadcast January g, Lewis admitted he had made a "horrifying mistake" and ex- plained he had meant to use the name of another Washington state educator.
 As result of the judges ruling today, the case must be re-tried unless opposing lawyers should reach compromise settlement of the suit.

Steel Industry Firms Plan Mutual Strike Assistance

NEW YORK, LR - The chief negotiator for the steel industry said today the industry is consid- ering a mutual assistance plan to share profits if one or more com panies are shut down by strike, instead of the entire industry being struck.
 Conrad Cooper, chief negotia- tor for U. s. Steel Corp. and the steel industry, told newsmen steel producers are considering a mu- tual aid strike plan similar to one adopted last fall by major air lines when faced with a rash of separate strikes.
 Cooper emphasized that the in- dustry right now is concentrating on reaching a new contract agree ment before present pacts expire June 30.
 David J. Mcdonald, union pres ident, also stressed in a joint news conference with Cooper that the union too is not considering any strike at the moment, either piece meal or industrywide.
 "We're not strike-happy union,," McDonald said. ''We want to reach an amicable agreement before June 30."

Panama Ice Holds; Winner of Classic Will Get $93,OOO
By DAN KETZLER

NENANA = The ice on the Panama River here at Nenana looks as if it will hold for another couple of days. The Nenana River, which usually cuts out the ice about a quarter of a mile below the tripod, has not done so this year, due to a channel change. The Nenana River has cut a 100-foot- wide swath in the ice on the south side of the Panama River, and rumor has it that the ice has gone out four miles below Nenana.
 After figuring the cost of sort ing, compiling, and making list of all guesses and also Uncle Sam's share, the winner or win ners Of this years Classic will get $93,OGO.

Great Things from Earth Satellites
 Predicted By Lodge at U. N. Session

Communist CzechoSlovakia and Poland, which backed a Soviet charge that there are too many Westerners on the committee, and India and the United Arab Re- public, which said that to meet now serves no useful purpose. Representative of all the other IS were on hand.
 Lodge said that, with full inter national cooperation, earth satel- lites in the fairly near future could:
 l. Scan the whole earth for weather data and make forecasts possibly weeks in advance;
 2. Become reflectors and re- beating stations for radio messages and perhaps be used for intercon- tinental TV;
 3. Gain geographic details for mapping unexplored lands, and s
 4. Possibly enable ships, by tracking satellite radio signals, to calculate their positions within less than a mile in any weather.

Rivers Calls On
 Congress to Define Alaska Bill Terms
By FRANK w. vAILLE

WASHINGTON, R - Repre- sentative Ralph Rivers said today he will ask Congress to resolve a problem on what it meant by the language it used in withholding control of fisheries and wildlife from the new state.
 The difficulty grows from lan- guage in the Alaska statehood bill it withheld jurisdiction from the new state until the January l fol- lowing 90 legislative days after Secretary of the Interior Seaton certified to Congress that the Alas ka Legislature had provided ade- quately for such administration in the broad national interest.
 Rivers said there is a wide di- versity over the meaning of the term Legislative days" Normally it is interpreted to mean a day on which the House or the Senate meets and adjourns. But the bill did not specify whether the 90 legislative days should be deter mined by proceedings of the House or the Senate, which differ.
 To resolve the conflict, Rivers said he plans to offer an, amend ment to the Alaska omnibus bill now before Congress to amend the statehood act to define 90 le- gislative days as that number of consecutive calendar days while the Congress is in session."
 Related to Seaton's April 28 certification of Alaska's manage ment capability, Rivers proposed amendment would permit Alaska to take over jurisdiction next Jan- uary l if Congress remained in session until July 27.
 Under any other definition, the 9O-day period would extend be- yond the probable Congressional adjournment date, thereby making it impossible for Alaska to take over management functions be- fore January 1, 1861.
 Rivers said that the House Ap- propriations Committee pared the Administration budge for fish and wildlife operation in Alaska to provide only enough money to carry the federal program through the first of the year. It said Alas ka should be capable of taking over at that time.
 He said that should administra- tion be withheld from the new state next year, while at the same time money is denied to the re- sponsible federal agencies, the result would be chaos.

Interior Dept.
 Spells Out Alaska Game Regulations

WASHINGTON, LR - The 1859 Alaska game regulations an- nounced today by the Interior De- partment reduce mandatory fed eral licenses to $1 each, effective July 1.
 The fee for a nonresident gen. eral license, which covers hunt ing, trapping of big game and sport fishing now is $50. The i- cense for hunting small game costs $10 and a sport fishing license costs $2.50.
 The Department said by cutting the various federal fees to $1 each Secretary Seaton tacitly ap proved the recent action of the Alaska Game Commission abolish ing federal licensing for resident hunting, sport fishing and trap ping.
 ''These combined actions cur tail as much as legally possible a double system of licensing in Alaska" the department said, 'and will permit the new state to establish realistic fish and wildlife license fees for these activities, to increase it's receipts, and to pre- pare for it's coming responsibilities on wildlife management"
 The 1859 regulations prohibit hunting on Kalgin Island in Cook Inlet and at Berners Bay in South eastern Alaska, to protect moose herds which have been established in those areas. Hunting also will be prohibited on Adak Island, where caribou have recently been established.
 Hunting will be allowed on the Rainbow reserve near Anchorage where the moose population now warrants it.
 The special quarter-mil clos ure along highways on the Kenai Peninsula will be reduced to the standard 1O0-foot highway reserve effective elsewhere in Alaska.
 The director of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife is given new authority to adjust open seasons by extending them or re- opening them to permit more hunting when heavy snows create conditions which portend heavy winter kill of the game animals.
 Protection of cub bear and fe- male bears accompanied by cub, except black bear, will extend to all of Alaska instead of being lim- tied to Kodiak Island.
 Normal adjustments in open season and bag limits on hunting and fishing are also included.
