Wade Signs Legislators End Pay Bill
 With Doubts for Proper Financing
By BERNIE MORRIS

JUNEAU, tR - Acting Governor Hugh Wade has signed into law the controversial legislative pay bill.
 It provides each of the 60 Alas ka lawmakers an annual salary of $3,000 and $40 expenses for each day the Legislature is in session. In addition, the presiding officer of each house will receive $500 for extra services.
 The pay rate bill and an accom- panying measure were signed late yesterday. The acting Governors decision to approve the measures was not made public until he sent a 200Word message to the Legis- lature today explaining his action
 The companion measure to the pay scale provision appropriates $222,520 to cover the legislators salaries and expenses through the end of the fiscal year on June 30. A later appropriation measure will be needed for the legislative costs for the next fiscal year.
 The signed bills m HB28 and HB29 - thus became chapters One and Two of the first session laws of the State of Alaska.
 Wade indicated he was reluc- tant to approve the two bills.
 q would have preferred that these bills become law without my signature" the acting chief exec utive told the Legislature. He added:
 However, such course on my part would only further delay a matter which has already con- stunned enough time, some of which

Alexandria, Va, Accepts School Integration Without Incident

ALEXANDRIA, Va, R - Nine Negro children entered three pre- viously all-white public schools in this historic southern city with out incident yesterday.
 They were admitted under court order, and backed by display of police force, but there was noth- ing to indicate any need for the guard.
 Alexandria thus became the third Virginia community to ac- cept integration since the collapse of the states massive resistance" program.
 Seventeen Negroes in Norfolk and four in Arlington County, ad- joining Alexandria, previously had been admitted to junior and senior high schools. Seven of the nine in Alexandria were the first to get into former all-white ele- mentary schools.

Night Tornado Rips St. Louis, Killing 2l

ST. LOUIS, ln - The death toll from the tornado that hit this sleeping city with explosive force early yesterday stood at 2l today.
 Seventy injured remained in hospitals.
 The extent of the havoc wrought by the twister in the teering cen tral portion of the city brought surprise that the loss of life was no greater.
 ''The reports on missing persons are bit cloudy, but we can't find out for sure that anybody's miss ing" said Brig. Gen. Francis liar daWay ret, Civil Defense dlrec- tor
 Relief workers still are measur- ing dimensions of the misery in- flicted by the twister. The Red Cross estimated 1,4OO homeless in St. Louis and the county.
 The Insurance Board of St. Louis said 4,000 buildings were damaged at a loss of 12 million dollars.
 President Eisenhower declared the stricken city a disaster area, making it eligible for federal re- lief funds.
 The tornado struck without warning and moved at tremendous speed. It took only minutes to blow itself out in the Busch Sta dium area, after leveling a 38O- foot radio tower and a 575-foot television tower.
 The Civil Defense Agency ack- nowledged it did not function smoothly in spite of eight years of preparation for such a disas- ter. CD officials blamed the wea- ther bureau for not predicting the tornado and sending out an alert.
 The tornado followed almost the same path of one in 1927 which killed 78.

Alaska's Highways Major Issue In
 Transition Bartlett

JUNEAU, tR -- Senator Bob Bartlett, Alaska's senior senator, returned to the capitol yesterday for a series of talks with state off cials on transitional problems re- lating to statehood.
 The Democratic senator, free to travel from Washington by the traditional Lincoln Day break to permit Republican congressman to accept speaking engagements, met yesterday with acting Governor Hugh Wade.
 Later today he was scheduled to address a joint session of the First Alaska Legislature.
 At news conference in the Governors office yesterday, Bart lett said the main purpose in his visit here was to obtain views on a proposed Administration omni- bus bill relating to Alaska.
 Under terms of the present draft of the bill, scheduled to be intro duced in Congress about the first of March, Alaska would receive some 2712 million dollars through fiscal 1864. The payments would be in declining amounts, beginning with 1012 million in 1860, and dropping to 212 million in each of the last two fiscal years of the period.
 Bartlett told reporters none of the federal funds, under terms ot the present draft, would be ear marked. However, the grants would be suggested for specific purpose - even though the state

Body Temperature Below Thermometer Reading
 Causes Death of Woman

NEWPORT, R. l., R - Mrs Rose Blondell, 63, whose body temperature dropped so low a hos pital thermometer could not re- cord it, died last night in a New port hospital.

Eisenhower Emphatically Denies Considering Dulles Retirement

WASHINGTON, R - The White House denied with double barreled emphasis today all specu- lation that President Eisenhower might be concerned over a pos sibility that ailing Secretary of States Dulles may retire.
 Press Secretary James c. flag erty said Eisenhower had in structed him to "say doubly" what Hagerty had told reporters last night - that rumors of Dulles retirement are "completely cock eyed"
 Dulles entered Walter Reed Ar my Hospital yesterday for a her nia operation and treatment of recurring intestinal inflammation, less than two weeks before his 71st birthday.
 There have been published re- ports Eisenhower has talked with Republican leaders about Dulles possible resignation, on physical grounds, and even about men who might be considered as his suc- ceSSorS.
 Hagerty said the President stands firm on his news confer ence statements yesterday that Dulles is an invaluable Secretary of State and deserves the prayers of all Americans in his current medical situation.

Governors Succession Occupies House
 With Divorce, Hiring, Purchasing Bills

JUNEAU, LR - The questions of succession in the Governors office, state hiring and purchas- ing practices, divorce and execu- tive pay, were among the legis- lative grist before the House of Representatives yesterday.
 The proposals and action taken:
 Two amendments were added to the bill which would provide for the Legislature to designate the Governors successor whenever the Secretary of States office is vacant. The bill would also per init the Governor to fill vacancy in the Secretary of States office.
 The amendments adopted were:
 A Secretary of State appointed by the Governor would have no right to succeed to the Governors S office.
 The Speaker of the House and President of the Senate, in that order, would automatically sue ceed to the Governors job if the Secretary of States office became vacant. They would serve only un- til the Legislature could meet and elect the Governors successor.
 Hiring and purchasing:
 A bill was passed to create an eight-member Governors commis- sion on hiring and purchasing practices. They would be legisla- tors and representatives of labor, industry and the public named by the Governor.
 Originally the bill, by Represen- tative Richard Greuel, Fairbanks Democrat, applied only to hiring, but it was amended to include purchasing.
 Divorce:
 Two bills, also introduced by Representative Greuel, would change Alaska's divorce laws in these ways:
 A complaint in divorce action would have to be on file 90 days before a trial could begin. Courts granting divorces would have to specify whether the persons in volved could remarry.
 So-called uniform divorce recog- milton would be set up. A divorce obtained in another state would not be in effect if both parties were residents of Alaska at the time of the proceedings.
 Executive pay:
 Four motions to change the bill which would fix the Governors salary at $24,OO and the Secre- tary of States at $17,5O0, were tabled. One would have set the Governors pay at $28,OOO and the Secretary of States at $12,00O.
 The bill was kept on second reading.

Mr.. John Kovach, q motion
was unanimously passed to
