Omega Alpha Club Formed by 20
 'Iast-First' SOIOns

JUNEAU m The Greeks had the letters for it. Alaska provided the circumstances that put IT men and three women in a select so- ciety.
 The group will be known as Omega Alpha, the last letter and the first letter of the Greek alpha bet. Its members are the men and women who served in the last Alaska territorial legislature in 1857 and the first Alaska state legislature this year.
 An Anchorage Democrat, Rep. Earl Hillstrand, organized the society. He charted three fields for the members: Pleasure, tra- dition and good work. The good work he said, would come through trust fund to be established to provide something of lasting val ue. The details remain to be worked out. No politics are in- volved. It's a good thing, because the minority would be out-voted 19-1. The only Republican mem Der of Alpha Omega is Sen. John Coghill of Nenana.
 In addition to Hillstrand and Coghill, other members are Sens. James Nolan of Wrangell, Frank Peratrovich of Klawok, J. Earl Cooper of Anchorage, Irwin Met calf of Seward, Irene Ryan of An chorage, Al Owen of Uganik Bay, William Beltz of Unalakleet, Ralph Moody of Anchorage, John Mo Nees of Nome, George McNabb of Fairbanks, and Eben Hopson of Barrow; and Rep. Warren Taylor of Fairbanks, Andrew Hope of Sitka, James Moreno of Anchor age, Dora Sweeney of Juneau, Douglas Gray of Douglas, Helen Fischer of Anchorage and Richard Greuel of Fairbanks.

Compromise Bill
 In Making For
 State Court System

JUNEAU, LR - A substitute bill is expected to come before the Senate early next week re- vamping initial plans for estab- ishment of Alaska'S first court system.
 The proposed bill is a compro- mise between two plans already advanced for creation of a judi cial system. It would replace one submitted early this session by the Board of Governors of the Alaska Bar Association, under which the supreme and superior courts would take over judicial duties by July 1.
 Acting Governor Wade has also proposed a measure under which the first step would be the crea- tion of a supreme court, initial authority limited to work on es- tablishment of the remainder of the judicial system.
 The bill now before the joint judiciary committees is expected to call for somewhat lower pay scales for the judges than pre- viously recommended. It appeared likely the top judicial salary would be between $23,000 and $25,000 a year, instead of $27,50C as proposed in the State Bar As sociation bill.

Maryland Senator Warns TV Must Clean House

WASHINGTON, LR - Senator John Marshall Butler .R-Md says television and nv advertisers must clean house or face the pos sibility of Congress doing it for them.
 The networks, Butler said, are digging their own graves by offer ing programs which he contended are devoted to wholesale murder and commercials "geared to know nothings."
 Butler said commercial TV and TV advertisers appear to have adopted an attitude of the ''pub- lie be darned."

Old Elephant Point Bones Fresh Say Scientists

WASHINGTON, LR - A frag- ment of glacier-preserved bone from a giant prehistoric elephant has been found to be in remark ably fresh shape at least 5000 years after the mammoth died.
 This was reported to the Amer ican Association for the Advance ment of Science today by two physiologists of the University of California at Berkeley.
 Researchers H. c. Ezra and s. F. Coo said they studied the speci- men as part of comparison of fresh and fossilized bones. Their report was published in the tech nical journal "Science."
 New York's American Museum of Natural History provided the preserved specimen, a chunk of leg bone from a skeleton of a mammoth discovered in 1907 at Elephant Point in Eschscholtz Bay, Alaska.

YOUR FAMILY
AND YOU
Here's
A New
Problem
BY DIR. PAUL PoPENOE
national Newspaper Syndicate

National Newspaper syndicate
Perhaps this is the time to
have the whole family finger
printed. You might think It
over.
Mrs. H. brings the subject
to mind with several cases
which she read about in the
newspapers lately Of babies
stolen or misplaced, or chill
dren lost and identified with
difficulty.
"It seems as If there ought
to be some way in which
everybody could be identified
In case of necessity" she
writes.
You're quite right. Mrs. H.,
and actually it can be done
If anyone wants to do so. So
far as babies are concerned,
f1ngerprints are very unsatis-
factory. A print of the sole
of the foot is often used.
Even better is the method fol-
lowed by some hospitals Of
taking a picture of the baby
beside its mother, often be-
fore the umbilical cord is
severed.
Dependable Method
But fingerprinting remains
the dependable method for
anyone beyond babyhood.
Registration of flngerprintS
in some central headquarters
would have saved much
trouble for many people. A
striking case is that of the
young woman featured in the
newspapers from time to
time during the last 40 years,
who claims that she is Ana
StaSia, daughter of Gar Mich
olas of Russia, who was muir
dered with supposedly all
his family by the Bolsheviks.
Is she really Anastasia?
Very likely she will die
without having her identity
established beyond question.
If her flngerprints had been
registered in a central collec-
ton in different countries. as
might well have been natural
for anyone as important as
the daughter of the Car of
Russia, we would know in half
an hour whether she is Ana
staSia or not.
There has been a widespread
and violent objection to finger
printing on the part of many
people on this continent.
Partly. I suppose. it is an
antagonism to RECOMMENDATION
Of any kind.
It brings to mind thoughts
Of the police state. 1t is sup
posed to have been fought
sometimes by labor unions
who feared that it might lead
to blackliSting of strikers for
example.
Advantages
But the advantages are so
great that certainly any fam
lily might have themselves
voluntarily f1ngerprinted. Take
the whole family down to the
police station or sheriff's of
fee and I think you will find
them happy to explain the
whole process. make finger
prints Of all the members of
the family and hand them
over to you.
You can put them into the
safe-deposit box or in the
collection of family valuables.
There is no telling when they
may be useful or even vitality
important.
Many millions Of young men
and women have been finger
printed in the armed services
during the last half century.
This should be enough to help
many people get rid of their
fear or objection to what
seems to me, from a purely
scientific point of view, to be
an extremely valuable re-
source Of which every family
ought to make full use.

Haiirdo Should

Not Careless

The only thing out of line with

Bulky, massive hair framing the

your brows and mouth can destroy
the necessary balance between the
hair and face area throwing the

Many young people are achieving
a careless rather than a casual
look in coiffures, says SEM.
"A hairstyle with a free-fiowing
natural look is attractive and ap-
pealing il it is controlled, If its
casual lines result from expert
shaping and tapering. If the set
ting is planned to appear neatly
controlled or casually natural when
combed and brushed. The mass of
hair is then reduced to the proper
proportion for the head"
Many teen-agers do not realize

PRESIDENTIAL PITCHERS

- residents have been making like
pitchers since Clark Griffith, late
president of the Washington Sena-
tors, persuaded William Howard
Taft to hurl one from the stands in
1912.
Except for that, one year, when
Taft unleashed the ball at mid
summer game, the Presidential arm
has been exercised at the big lea
gues' opening fray of the season,
in Washington. Bunting-draped Grif-
fifth Stadium then becomes the days
fun retreat for Washington's
officialdom.
The tradition has become ver-
tual G. O. P.-Democrat battle for
pitching supremacy and the re-
suits thus far are a tie, with TO
wins and s losses for each, assum-
ing that the Chief Executives per-
form for the home team. The Re-
publican bigs will be in there this
year roofing for Ike to put the party
in the lead.
Inere were years Wnen important
official business kept the Presidents
away from the park. Substitutes took
their plac e, like, in 1919, when
Army's Chief of Staff Gen. Peyton
March pitched the first ball for
Wilson who was in Europe dis
cussing the Peace Treaty, or during
1912, a war year, when Vice Presi-
dent Wallace subbed for FDR and
threw the longest of all executive
heaves. It sailed half way to second
base.
In 1948, Truman became the first
Presidential southpaw. Ike pitched
twice in 1851, his first year in the
big time. The second ball, tossed
for the benefit of cameramen, socked
Umpire Bill Mckinley in the seat
of the pants.
The Presidential hurlers arepic-
tured here.

action would supersede the ac-
ton Of the Board Of Education

lor of Arts degree. In taking
this position, however, the

tension Of the college offerings

One reason school officials

perienced opposition to the idea
of q city college is the cost in

This prediction has been

blunder at this stage OF the

should be broken up. For tseir
part the Russians have always
been eager TO discuss Berlin

that a willingness to unite the

clearly applying the same con-

will be seriously compromised.
There is even less reason to be-
