employe leaders will put forth
great effort next year to bring
about its enactment.
Under the present law, Fed
eral employees with more than
80 days OF accumulated leave
have to use all the annual leave
they earn each year or lose the
Unused portion.
Consequently many thousands
of employees forfeit annual
leave they, are legally entitled
Ito because their agencies heavy
workloads make it impossible
flor them to be spared from the
LOB.
Senator Sparkman told the
Senate:
my bill would correct situa-
tons which have developed in
the past where a disproportion-
ate number of employees were
absent from work, toward the
end of the leave year, for the
purpose of utilizing annual leave
which would be lost if not taken
Many of these employees
would not be absent to the
same extent if the amount OF
unused leave could be credited
to their sick leave account.
THUS the enactment Of this
bill would result in a more
orderly flow Of work in the
various Offices, less disruption
of work schedules and conse-
quent monetary savings and
Improved employee morale"

may happen If you guess wrong.
If you take the heart flnesse
and lose. the opponents will
surely take a club trick at once
to defeat the contract. II, in
stead, you lead a club and lose
to the ace the opponents may
not Immediately cash their
other club trick. II they fail to
do so, you can discard the other
club on a high diamond and
you can still try the heart
flnesse.
The best play, therefore, is
to draw one round Of trumps
at the second trick and then
lead a club. If East plays low,
you put up the king. There is
no need to starve to death.

SHEINWOLD ON BRIDGE
Look for Even Small ADVANTAGE
BY ALFRED SHERWOOD
o. 8. Masters Team Champion

in a recent New York tourna-
ment, I opened the North hand
with a weak" no-trump, show
ing IL to II points with bal
anced distribution. My partner
then properly took over, arriv-
ing at the very reasonable slam
contract in spades.
West opened q diamond, and
declarer won in dummy, dis
carding q low club from his
hand. The problem was whether
to play East for the king of
hearts or for the ace Of clubs.
II East had the ace of clubs,
declarer could discard the queen
of hearts on dummy's remain
ing high diamond and could
lead a club toward the king.
If East had the king Of hearts,
however, declarer could discard
the jack Of clubs on duInmy's
diamond and could lead q heart
for a flnesse Of the heart queen.
At first glance the two lines
Of play look equally appealing,
but q second look showed q
small advantage along one line.
Prepare for Worst
In situations Of this kind there
is no need to consider the right
guess. Instead, think Of what

Ninth Week Brings No Sign of Breakup For Lawmakers

JUNEAU, R - Alaska's first State Legislature moved into it's ninth week today - with still no official word on when the law maker will call it quits.
 Tn Territorial times, the legis- lators would be about ready to pack their bags and return home. Territorial legislators met for only 60 days and the state law makers will complete their 6Oth day Thursday.
 But under statehood, there is no constitutional limit on the length if a session.
 The best guess at this point is that the current session will run at least until April 4 and possibly until April II. It will be up to the Democratic policy committee, which speaks for the majority, to set an adjournment day.
 And so far, the committee has been silent on the quitting time.
 One of the major tasks facing the Legislature before adjourn ment is approval of a budget for state operations for the next ifs cal year. The House Finance Committee has yet to report out an appropriations bill calling for expenditures of some 2612 mil lion dollars.
 There are other major bills to be acted on, including amend ments to the Alaska Employment Security Law.

loya did not finish. Willoya was driving the Edwin Punguk team from White Mountain.
 Following the races a Musher's Banquet was held at the Seaview Room, with over 50 racing en- thusiasts celebrating with the mushers.
 Honor guest, who presented the trophies, was Mrs. Wilma Lind, International Delegate of Beta Sigma Phi, to their convention here.
 A beautiful 16-page racing pamphlet souvenir had been pre- pared by, the Arctic Club, with the cooperation of the merchants of Nome, and copies may be obtained from Ash Craft or other members of the Dog Race committee.
 Mrs. Nease, wife of the custo- dian for the Federal Building, was given the fur parka by the Arctic Club, in connection with the Dog Race Derby. She had her choice of either a gun or parka, and chose the parka, which will be made to order for her.
 KNOM-TV broadcast the race news, and the announcer, Charles West, learned all about dog racing in Nome while the show was on.
 Hot dogs were served by the P-TA at the Dog Race headquar- ters, which was-at Alaska Air lines downtown office building, where large blackboard showed the progress of the race, and a public address system kept the crowd abreast of the whereabouts of each team.
 Children's races, with one dog, were held shortly after the last team left town, with the following winners:
 Girls: Harriet Liebig, 1st, $5; Helen Dimmick, End, $3, and Lena Scott, 3rd, $2.
 For the boys: Allen Conklin, 1st, $5; Ernest Dimmick, 2nd, $3, William Curran 3rd, $2, and Robert Walsh fourth.

3-Point Approach To Summit Meeting Outlined in Ike-Macmillan ComprOmise

proposals for a later summit con- ference.
 2. The heads of government should hold their, meeting when justified by the work of the for eign ministers.
 3. The foreign ministers there fore would have the responsibility of determining the time, place, and subject matter of the summit con- ference.
 The proposal covering these points was drafted by MacMillan and Eisenhower for inclusion in Western notes now expected to go to Moscow later this week.
 Khrushchev has been pressing for summit conference for many months.
 Some officials say the forging of summit meeting was one of the Soviet leaders objectiveso in stirring up the Berlin crisis be- ginning last November.
 MacMillan feels the Western heads of government must nego- tiate with Khrushchev even if the foreign ministers conference is a failure. Eisenhower feels every effort must be made to get basic progress toward a solution of the Berlin crisis and some start on other German problems at the for eign ministers meeting.

New Law Requires Party
 Voting In State Primaries

JUNEAU, R - Alaskans will be able to vote for candidates of only one party at the next primary election.
 A bill providing for a party column primary election ballot was signed into law Saturday by acting Governor Hugh Wade.
 This wipes out the old blanket primary system under which Alaska has nominated political candidates for the last 10 years.
 In primaries past, Alaskans could vote for candidates of either major political party. Now the candidates of each party will be listed in separate columns and votes may be cast in only one of the columns Cross voting among candidates of different parties will invalidate a ballot.
