 Lorene Shandley, president of the Victoria Policeman's union, commented: Policemen will dress up and act like damned fools if the tourists group will go around in three-cornered hats, knee brooches and wigs"

SeatOn Asks Large IN. E. Alaska Tract Be Made Sanctuary

WASHINGTON, LP - Congress yesterday was formally asked 10 establish the Arctic Wildlife Range, to consist of a nine-million acres area of biologically ire placeable land in Northeastern Alaska.
 Secretary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton sent Congress a bill to carry out the plans he announced more than year ago to seek es- tablishment of the preserve.
 The area at its largest dimen- sions is roughly 140 miles from north to south and 20 miles from east to west. Its northern boun- dary is the Arctic Ocean, and it's eastern edge is the Canadian bor- der. It extends south of the crest of the Brooks Mountain range and goes west to the Canning River
 It would be the nations largest wildlife refuge.
 Seaton said the establishment of the refuge is the only economic ally feasible opportunity for main taining a primitive frontier large enough for the preservation of caribou, the grizzly bear, the dall sheep, the wolverine, the polar bear, and the other animals which require unrestricted range.
 He added that the proposed range also offers the only oppor- tunity for the nation to preserve an undisturbed portion of the Arc tic large enough to be biologically self-sufficient.
 He said the range is a mag nificent area of wildlife and will derness exceeded in size in North America only by Canada's Wood Buffalo scientific study area.
 Under the proposed legislation, hunting, fishing and trapping would be allowed on the range in accordance with the laws and reg ulationS of Alaska.
 The Secretary would be per mitted to authorize mineral activi- ty within the area but he could not dispose of title to the surface of the land.

DiscOverer HI Will Send Mice Into Space Flight

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif., R - Four black mice sail into space next month in an American attempt to prove that a living creature can leave earth and return alive.
 The mice will ride in a specially designed life package" capsule in the nose cone of Discoverer III. The satellite is expected to be launched into Polar orbit from this West Coast missile base in about 30 days.
 The little astronauts will be chosen from 50 black mice now under observation at Holloman Air Force Base, N. M.
 Scientists will measure their reactions to blastoff, weightless- ness and the stresses of re-entry. The main object, though, is to get something alive into orbit and back to earth again safely.
 This has never been done with any animal.
 One unofficial source said there was about one chance in 100 of success.

U. s. Will Stretch Neck to Observe Satellite Orbits

WASHINGTON, R-The United States is adding eyeglasses to it's round the world system for bet ter observation of satellites it sends into earth orbits or out into space.
 The purpose is to get more pre- else predictions of space vehicle orbits and trajectories and of their prospective life periods.
 The Air Force said today it is installing three huge telescopes, known as Baker-Nunn cameras, at Oslo, Norway, the University of Alaska at College, and south of San Francisco near Sunnyvale, Calf. This is an expansion of it's space track network.
 The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, meanwhile, said new radio tracking stations are to be built in Alaska, in North Dakota near the Canadian border, in Newfoundland, and possibly in northern Europe. These stations would form a northern fence for tracking satellites NASA may launch into Polar orbits.
 The NASA and Defense Depart ment satellite tracking systems, though separate, are coordinated.

Nenana Guess Lists Out This Week
By DAN KETZLER Nenana Ice Classic Manager

NENANA - The big book is out and being distributed. Have you found your name in it? The pages of the book are turning very fast. Yours truly has seen his name slip by with hundreds of others.
 Looks like things are going to happen in the near future. The weather has warmed up from its below average temperature and the ice and snow is beginning to melt on the sandbars and the river edges. More and more people are going to the river bank and figuring their chances on the big event. The radio shack has been set up on the Panama River bank, and the million dollar knife has been whetted for the moment when the ice starts to move. The clock and guards will be installed in the next day or so, and watch ful eye will be kept on the ice, which looks as if it may not move within the next ten days.
 We have received a letter from Gabriel Mallett, Bouches Du Rhone, Marseilles, France. He writes: "The ice was broken the seventh of May at seventeen hours and fifty-two minutes" His pre- diction looks mighty good. We will be on the air soon with a bank-side description of the ice conditions and the breakup, so until then, many happy returns of the minute.

WINCHESTER, Va, R - Resi- dents of this northern Virginia community and thousands of vis- itors pledged allegiance yester- day to the reign of Queen Shenan- doah XXXII, 18-year-old Sara Elaine Atwood of Anchorage.
 The blonde beauty received her crown as ruler over the two-day 32nd annual Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival from Secretary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton.

 The queen-e elect descended the steps of the Handley High School portico for her coronation on the arm of movie actor Russ Tamblyn.
 She took the oath of office from Bartlett, then received her crown from Seaton as applause rippled through the crowd assembled in the bowl - natural amphithe- ater surrounded by Towering ap- pie and cherry trees and stately pines.
 Queen Elaine, a sophomore at Mills College, Oakland, Calif., won the heart of this area yester- day with her attractiveness and dazzling smile. She performs a royal function today when she knights television star Gene Bar ry as Chief Apple Polisher of the Apple Blossom Realm"
