"And I believe him." the
judge said.
Police said young Campanella
admitted taking about So

and a friend broke into the
store. Judge Liese said she
had mo proof of theft at all, "
although the drug store owner
had appeared before her and
testified he lost some $1,000 In
cash and merchandise.
He'll Have to Pay
The Campanella youth will
have to pay for the broken
door and damaged merchan-
disc out of his earnings, the
Judge said, but the hours he
keeps and his companions will
be decided by his probation
officer.
She said she told David and

there was no excuse for his
act of "wanton destruction Of

the judge said. HE is not a

Is Reported
In Mexico


The FBI received a report

Sprenz, the flying fugitive on

Mexico.

cution.

Defense Sec. Submits Proposal To
 Congress for Sale of ACS Facilities

quired to provide without inter ruption all services now furnished by the government. Operation of the system would become subject to jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission and any Alaska regulatory bodies which the state may create.
 McElroy said it would be inn possible to estimate an adequate price for the system without an appraisal, but said it's estimated cost to the government less depre- citation stood at approximately 158 million dollars as of July 1, 1858.
 This, he said, included 135 mil lion dollars for the Air Force sys- tenn, 2012 million dollars for the ACS facilities and $2,700,00O for those of the Federal Aviation Agency.
 McElroy said there have been periodic efforts to dispose of the government facilities since 1913, but that private industry was re- luctant to acquire them because of the large investment and small return potential.
 However, the development of Alaska has now progressed" he said, to a point where the opera ton of a communications system would appear to be financially attractive to private industry.
 Furthermore, the citizens of the State of Alaska should not be de- pendent on the military for neces- sary commercial communications"
The Nome nugget., 1959-02-13
By FRANK VAILLE

WASHINGTON, LR - Congress has received the long-promised Administration proposal for sale of the Alaska Communications System and related government owned communication service to and from the 18th State
 The proposal, submitted by Sec retary of Defense McElroy, now is before the House and Senate Armed Services Committee. It has yet to be introduced in the form of bill.
 The proposal would authorize sale of any or all parts of the in tegrated communications system not necessary for military pur- poses. This would include not only the Alaska Communications System but also facilities owned by the Air Force and the Federal Aviation Agency.
 McElroy said any prospective purchaser probably would require the whole combination in order to provide a complete long-lines communications service to the public, military and other govern mental agencies.
 Because of the impracticality of describing the affected facilities in detail, McElroy said the propo- sal would authorize a negotiated sale without any advertising for bids.
 McElroy said the Attorney Gen. eral would review any contract before the sale is completed.

Alaska Court System Bill Is Still in Committee

JUNEAU, LR - The Legislature could set the course of Alaska's new court system within two weeks, the Chairman of the Sen ate Judiciary Committee said yesterday.
 But Ralph Moody would make no prediction on the final form the judicial bill might take.
 Moody said his committee was considering introduction of a sub stitute bill to one sponsored by the Bar Association. That bill, intro duced in the first week of the Legislature, called for creation of supreme and superior courts with full authority by July l.
 Acting Governor Wade has pro posed the immediate creation of a three-man Supreme Court. But he favors giving the high court original authority only to draft the rest of the states court system and court procedures.
 The Public Administration SerV- ice made a similar recommenda- tion.
 Moody said the substitute bill is still without full support of the committee, and added it's too early to tell if the group will present the second bill or the original measure.
 Under the substitute bill, the Supreme Court would have only limited authority in it's early days but there would be provisions for the high and superior courts to start operations immediately if the present U. s. District Court juris- diction is removed.

Okleasik Team
 Arrives For Flight g Fur Rendezvous

Paul Vaudeville of the Boring Sea Club, will accompany Isaac Okleasik and his dog team to An chorage for the Chamber of Com merce, and to assist the driver with his team.
 This Teller team, which won first place in last years Cape Nome Derby, arrived recently from Teller under it's own power and is in excellent condition. His time last year was one hour, 39 minutes, II seconds on a soft trail, running the 7th of April over a 2O-mile course.
 The team will be taken to An chorage through the courtesy of the Alaska Airlines, to participate in the big Fur Rendezvous races.
 Dog racing originated in Nome, and is remembered by many of the local residents, as the only means of transportation available to mining people. The Big Sweep stake Races, from 1908 to 1916, created world interest and be- came such a popular sport that it was taken up in the eastern states, where there are now kennels which breed sled racing dogs ex- clusively.
 Billy Cameron remembers sec ing the first prize for the Sweep stake race, which was a trophy cup filled with $1O,OOO in 2O-dol- lar gold pieces He states that it was displayed in the window of the Alaska Bank on Steadman Avenue for several weeks prior to the race, which was a 408-mile course - Nome to Candle and return.
 The record time for a short race was made by Fred Ayers in 1915 on December IS, when he covered the Nome to Fort Davis course, a distance of six and one-third miles, in 21 minutes and 29 sec onds. His dogs were a Scotch stag hound and malamute strain.

House Acts 36-4 Favoringg Governor Succession Law

JUNEAU, R - A measure pro- viding succession to the positions of Governor and Secretary of State was passed by the House, 36-4, yesterday, and was sent to the Senate.
 Under the bill, the office of the Governor would be taken by the Speaker of the House if both the Governor and the Secretary of States offices were vacated. The President of the Senate would be next in line to succeed to the chief executives position. How ever, the person succeeding him as Governor would serve only un- til the Legislature, acting in reg ular session, elected a successor.
 The measure also provides that the Governor would fill by ap- pointment vacancy in the office of Secretary of State Under the State Constitution the Secretary of State is the. immediate success sor to the Governor.
 The succession bill was one of eight pieces of legislation ap- proved by the House yesterday, the busiest day for the lower chamber in terms of the total number of measures approved.
 An attempt to amend a meas ure concerning Alaskan divorces was defeated and the bill passed oi. a vote of 31-9. Peter Deveau D-KodiaD proposed an amend ment providing an eight-month residency requirement for all Alaskan divorces, instead of the two-year stipulation in the pres ent bill.
