Nonprofit or Church Lotteries, Rallies Bill Approved In Alaska House, 29- Il

JUNEAU, R Lotteries on ice, Alaska's favorite guessing game, moved step nearer to legality Wednesday.
 The State House of Represen- tatives passed, 29-11, a bill legal izing such contests as the Nenana Ice Classic.
 hTe bill also legalizes lotter- ies and rallies held by churches and other nonprofit groups.
 It passed the Senate, 18-2 last Friday, but the Senate must now concur in some minor amend ments made by the House.
 Legalizes Common Practice
 Opponents argued that the bill would throw the 18th State open to big-time gambling. Backers re- piled, however, that all it did was legalize what is common practice.
 The bill specifically provides that sanctioned activities may not include use of cards, dice, roulette wheels, coin operated machines and other gambling devices.
 Voting against the bill were Representatives John Longworth, Alan Peterson, Dora Sweeney, Robert Sheldon, Henry Haag, Oral Freeman, John Curtis, Earl Hill strand, James Hurley, Frank Cha pados and Jay Hammond.
 10 Per Cent Tax Rejected
 The House rejected a number of proposed amendments, including 10 per cent tax on gross receipts of the sanctioned activities.
 Among amendments adopted were two proposed by Chapados. One would prohibit any licensee from carrying on more than one activity under the law. The other would require annual reports on such activities to be submitted to the Legislature by the State Alt torney General and Commissioner of Public afty.

Post Office Would Abolish Hawaii and Puerto Rico Cost-of-Living Differential

WASHINGTON, R = A Post Office Department proposal to eliminate the cost of living pay differential of postal employees in Hawaii and Puerto Rico drew support during recent Congress sional hearing.
 Three m m b CTS of the House Appropriations Subcom- mittee handling the Post Office budget called it ridiculous" to give federal workers in the off, shore areas higher pay scales than in the continental United States.
 Hyde Gillette, Assistant Post master General, told the subcom- mittee in testimony made public yesterday, that the department favors elimination of the cost of living allowances in Puerto Rico and Hawaii, but "the retention of it on the basis of real need in Alaska"
The Nome nugget., 1960-02-12

Other amendments made small changes in phrasing.
 Rep. Richard Greuel told the House the measure was insurance that Alaska won't be a wide open gambling state" Hammond, however, contended the bill 'may well open the door to organized gambling"
 Some members of the Alaska House jumped the gun as the lower chamber approved the bill, outlawing certain forms of lot teries.
 Dollar Pool During Recess
 During a recess shortly before the bill passed, members got up dollar pool. The object was to pick the number of votes by which the measure would pass.
 It wasn't learned which legis- lator won.
 Rep. Robert Sheldon enlivened proceedings with an amendment to bring the distinguished game of Russian roulette" under terms of the bill. House Speaker Warren Taylor ruled the amendment out of order "on grounds it might in- terfere with international rela- tions."
 The bill was listed on the House calendar with the descrip- tion "Nonprofit Investment Op- portunities" applied by Chairman Richard Greuel of the Rules Com mittee.
 A crowded gallery and many senators witnessed debate on the measure.

Federal employees in Alaska get 25 per cent above continental pay scales, 20 per cent in Hawaii, and 1712 per cent in Puerto Rico.
 Rep. J. Vaughan Gary D-Va), the subcommittee chairman, said he considered it "the most ridicu- lous thing in the world that we place those employees on a higher pay scale"
 The cost of living in Honolulu, he said, may be higher than in some places, although I do not think it is a bit higher than it is in Atlantic City or some of our other resort areas in this country, such as Miami"
 "But, when you get back into the rural areas of those islands the cost of living is much lower than it is in this country, and the amount that we pay postal work CTS there is throwing the entire salary economy out of line for the other local enterprises and in- dustries."

First STAGE at Aswon

1t is understandable that President
NaSSer of the United Arab Republic has
struck jubilant and triumphant note
in his speech marking the start of work
on the ASwan High Dam in Egypt. For
the event constitutes personal victory
of sorts, and he can hardly be blamed
for Growing little about it even though
it is strictly limited.
Back in 1856 the whole project
seemed altogether doomed when the
late Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles, with the British acting in con-
cert, suddenly decided to withdraw what
seemed to be firm offer Of large scale
American aid to help build the dam.
There then followed Mr.. Nasser'S retail
atory naturalization of the SueZ Canal
and the ill-adviSed and ill-Starred An
glo-French- Israeli attack on Egypt. Ger
tainly, as of that time, 1t looked as
though the Aswan dream had been ire
parably shattered
But late in 1958-and here is one
of the facts that will always cast grave
doubt on the wisdom of the 1856 Dulles
decision-the Soviet Union, obviously
intent upon penetrating the Middle East
in an effort to win a dominant position
there, agreed to lend the Cairo govern
ment the equivalent of $l00 million to
make possible beginning on the ASwan
enterprise. This is the aid (actually
much smaller than the sum withdrawn
by Britain and the United States almost
four years ago. that has enabled Mr.
NasSer to get the project started at long
last, after years of delay.
The work that has Just begun at
ASWan, however, represents only the first
stage, and it will require about four years
of construction. AS for the whole project
the biggest Of its kind ever contem-
plated anywhere in the world-its COM
pletion will necessitate several addi-
tional years of digging and building,
and its total cost will add up to at least
$l.3 billion If 1t is ever to become full
operating reality as a great new source
OF electrical power and an instrument
capable of reclaiming from the desert
2 million acres of land.
The faStmultiplying Egyptian peo-
pie are sorely in need of this project,
but they will never have it unless they
receive much more help than Russia's
loan of $100 million-a fact not men
toned by President Nasser in his latest
speech. Clearly, If the Aswan project is
to succeed, the United States, together
with the West as a whole, will have
to cancel out the 1855 decision.

To Jail at Last

Thanks to the FBI's flngerprint file,
CIayborne Bynum is going to jail.
He was sentenced to jail in 1858
after being convicted of robbery which
the trial Judge described as one Of the
most vicious" that had come to his
attention. A clinching piece of evidence
against Bynum was the matching Of his
fingerprints, taken by police after his
arrest, with prints found on the victims

The Court of Appeals, however, re-
verSed the conviction on the ground
that the police lacked probable cause"
to arrest the man. Bynum was arrested
and f1ngerprinted when he went to a
precinct station after his brother had
been arrested in car thought to have
been used in the robbery The appellate
court said there was no indication the
arresting officer had information con-
corning the circumstances of any crime
except that a particular car lit was

project out of it, since the formal an
nouncement of his candidacy came from
his press secretary. But the sound was
audible enough and understandable

totore has been running without actually
saying so, now is an avowed candidate.
and Will give formal approval for his
name to be entered in at least the New
Hampshire, Ohio and Oregon primaries.
1t looks like smooth sailing for the
Vice Presidential least up to and
through the Republican convention. At
the moment there are but two small
very Small-cloudS on the horizon. In
New Hampshire, which will open the
primary season on March 8, two candi-
dates, saying they want choice" have
filed as delegates favorable" to Gov
ernor Rockefeller. Under the law there
is nothing the Governor can do about
this. But he says he will exercise his
legal right to withdraw if his name
should also be entered in the New
Hampshire preferential primary, in
which convention delegates are pledged
to vote for particular candidate. In
a more surprising move, a former Fed
eral judge has filed in New Hampshire
as candidate favorable" to the Pres
ident'S brother, DR.. Milton Eisenhower.
But he will have to run against Senator
Styles Bridges, Nixon man, and unless
there is a great deal more here than
meets the eye, we doubt that anything
even approaching a threat to the Vice
President has been raised.
Things are much less serene over in
the camp Of the political opposition.
Senator Kennedy, now also formally
entered in the New Hampshire primary,
still is very much the front-runner. But
there is a great deal of confusion and
activity farther down the Democratic
track.
A move to draft Adlai Stevenson,
apparently without active encourage
ment from a seemingly reluctant Mr..
Stevenson, is Sputtering and showing
signs of getting under way. A favorable
to-Symington candidacy has been en-
tered in New Hampshire. Senator
Humphrey is beginning a nine-State
tour in quest Of delegates. And in Ohio,
where Governor Mike Di Sale is trying
to sew up the Democratic delegation for
Mr.. Kennedy, there are rumblings of dis
content-notably from Senator Lausche
and the Ohio Citizens Committee to
Draft Stevenson.
In word busy and somewhat
frantic political scramble is we'll under
way early in the year. Mr.. Nixon seems
to have it made. But at this stage Of
the game anyone who would mortgage
the family home to get up bet on the
Democratic winner ought to have his
head examined.

A year ago there were 90
fatalities compared to the AZ
reported by the Associated

Much credit for this goes

D. c. Goes off TroIIeys Amid Mixed Emotions

The Stars article deScrib-

44IIl . 1 NEE /
Dear Sir:
What do you think Of my
method Of curing a cold?
say cure. but Of course all
it does is help.
Everybody has a cold
cure; why can't I?
When I get that funny
feeling in my nose, or around
my eyes, or if l sneeze,
Jump right into bed, If I am
so situated, and stay there
until I warm up.
Il do this regardless of
whether I am cold or not,
but most of the time I am
cold. not a chill, exactly, but
a feeling of coldness.
Il thought to myself, what
more natural, than to warm
up, if I feel cold?
THE first time I tried it,
I was wondering if it would
help; I guess it wasn't a
conscious process, but Just
instructive or something.
Il soon began to feel better
Relaxed, I guess you would
call it. I used a heating pad,
and it was wonderful.
Since then, I have been
able to keep my colds, if that
is what they are, down to a
mere minimum.
Il would like to know if
any Of your readers have had
a similar experience, and if
they know whether there is
any scientific justification for
my procedure.
This is an age when
science must put its OK on
everything we do.
Sincerely, H. o. p"
A farmer wrote a book
several years ago urging this
method.
1t is, as our correspondent
says. a natural sort Of thing
to do.
The book. as we remember
it, attempted to give science a
big hand, but actually
nothing much was proved,
one way or the other.
Many people have tried
some such method of "help-
ing" their colds, as they say,
although it always seemed to
us that a common cold needs
no help.
In the past, many persons
attempted to warm up with
a hot foot bath, or a full hot
tub bath. or hot lemonade.
or a toddy.
The aim was to build up
inner warmth quickly, so that
the cooling effects Of the
malady on the skin would
be overcome from within.
Maybe this isn't a scien-
tific explanation. Even the
doctors. as smart as they are,
can't do much with a cold.

ting results in common colds
with penicillin, somebody
had to spoil the fun by an
