Peas With A Past
Despite its democratic leanings, the
pea has a long and romantic history.
This vegetable in the dried form has been
known since the beginning Of the Chris
tan era, and during the Stone Age it is
believed to have been an important part
Of the diet. But it was not until the 18th
century that green peas were considered
as a food product. Once introduced
they became a food fad. During the
reign Of the elegant Louis ~ peas were
a delicacy for royalty.

Legislature Confirms First Department Appointee

JUNEAU, R - Floyd Guertin's appointment as State Commission CT of Administration was con firrned yesterday by a 47-0 vote of a joint session of the Senate and House.
 Guertin, resident here, was appointed last week by acting Governor Wade to head the first department created under the state reorganization of the execu- tive branch of government.
 The appointment by Wade in his capacity as acting Governor raised constitutional question on the floor of the House before the vote. Rep. Peter J. Kalamarides, House Democratic floor leader, said the State Constitution stipu- lates appointments shall be made by the Governor, not by an act ing Governor.
 Legislative confirmation of Wade's appointment may ''have repercussions in the future," he said.
 Rep. John Hellenthal, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, disagreed. There's absolutely no difference under the Constitution between the powers of the Gov- ernor and the acting Governor" <" he said.

Renowned Architectural Design Genius
 Frank Lloyd Wright, Dies at 89 Years

PHOENIX, Ariz., R - Frank Lloyd Wright, 89, colorful and controversial genius of design, died at 4:45 am. yesterday in a Phoenix hospital after a brief illness.
 = A giant on the national and in ternational architectural scene, Wright underwent an operation Monday for removal of an intes- tinal obstruction. He had been stricken Saturday at his winter home near Scottsdale.
 Wright was almost as noted for his pithy comments as for his un- usual buildings.

McElroy Assures All-Alaska Defense In Event of War

WASHINGTON, LR - Alaskans received the assurance this week of Defense Secretary McElroy that military plans call for the full de- fense of Alaska in event of ag- gression.
 In letter to Alaska members of Congress, McElroy wrote:
 You may be assured that there is no military plan in existence, and none has been, considered, which contemplates or accepts the concept that the United States would fail to defend any and all of our sovereign territory mn and that includes, of course, Alaska as an integral part"
 The assurance resulted from in- quiries of Senators Bob Bartlett and Ernest Gruening and Repre- sentative Ralph Rivers about pub lished statements in the New York Times that only the Fairbanks and Anchorage areas of Alaska would be defended.

 Tn 1948 the American Institute of Architects named him the 18th winner in 42 years of its gold medal flor distinguished service to the advancement of the art and the profession of architecture"
 But there was no love lost be- tween Wright and members of his institute Some of his sharpest barbs were reserved for his fel- low architects.
 He once described the institute as "the American institute of ap- peafanceS," and on another occa- sion declared: "The only thing wrong with architecture is archi- tects."
 But architects were not the only objects of his wrath.
 He didn't like cities. He called them vampires living on the fresh blood of the countryside and vil- lages, sterilizing humanity"

House Passes Measure To Divert Gas Taxes To State General Fund

JUNEAU, LR - A bill to divert gasoline tax money from special funds to the state general fund was approved by the House, 31-9 Wednesday, and then sent to the Senate.
 The bill was part of the legis- lative program to eliminate ear marked money from the state fis- cal picture.
 There had been some question whether the bill might interfere with federal aid to highways in Alaska, but a check with the at torney generals office apparently satisfied most House members there was no danger.

FOOD COSTS

Everybody knows that, when
it comes to eating, teen-age
boy is a bottofrlless pit. But it
took study by food economists
of the U.S.Department of Agri-
culture to find out how much more
it costs to feed growing young
ster than baby or an adult.
The experts figure that, for mod
erate-cost meals, food for To-
year -old boy costs $ll.5O a
week--compared with $3.50 for
3-year -old child and $3.50 for
75-year-old man. Feeding a To-
year -old boy costs about a third
more than feeding a girl of the
same age.

"They need individual attention

mother substitute, during this pc

Dbl. All pass
Opening lead: King of clubs.
West opened the king Of
clubs and then shifted to his
singleton diamond. It is un-
usual for a defender who has
five trumpS to lead a singleton,
but in this case West hoped to
get two ruffs with small
trumps. The problem was how
to get the lead twice to East.
What would the defenders
do if left to their own devices?
West might sooner or later
lead a low club, but would East
try to win the trick with the
ten? This would be necessary
if East were to win the lead
twice; but the play would be
unthinkable.
Declarer won the second
trick with dummy's king Of
diamonds and returned the ten
Of hearts. East discarded a
spade and West played low.
Spade Best
Declarer's best continuation
is to ruff a small spade and
lead the king of hearts. If
West takes the ace of hearts
and leads a spade South can
ruff and draw two more rounds
of trumps. Then he can switch
to diamonds and wait for West
to ruff. The defenders will get
three clubs and two trumpS.
Instead South made the mis-
take. of leading dummy's re-
manning club. East carefully
put in the ten Of clubs, hoping
thus to gain two entries in that
suit.
This play had the effect of
telling the defenders what they
had in clubs. East won with
the ten of clubs and led a
diamond for his partner to
ruff. West now could afford
to lead the jack Of clubs for
his partner to overtake with
the queen. East led back
another diamond and Vests
ruff was the setting trick.
A very neat defense, Of
course, but only what you
might expect from Pietro For
quet and Guglielmo Siniscalco.

Daily Question
AS dealer you hold:
AO9874V1O 1AKJ1O7 %74
What do you do?
Answer: Pass. Yeu would
bid if both suits we're majors,
or even if the spades and dia-
monds were reversed. You are
willing to stretch point or so
when you have a very strong
major suit, but not when your
strong suit is a minor. A very
close decision.
