Thirty-Six Insurance
 Companys form Risk Pool

JUNEAU LR - Thirty-six in- surance companies have formed an assigned risk pool to write workmen's compensation insur- ance for Alaska employers unable to secure it from individual car riers, Gov. Egan stated.
 The 36 companies who formed the assigned risk pool, which went into effect March 1, write 97 per cent of the states compensa- ton insurance.
 Under the assigned risk pro gram, if an Alaskan employer is refused Workmen's compensation insurance by two carriers, he may secure coverage from the pool. The premium would be equal to that charged by a private carrier, plus an additional basic 8 per cent surcharge.

New Department of Transportation Would be Empowered to Operate and Maintain Transportation Facilities

a chief executive officer as com missioner for transportation.
 The board would serve in ad- visory capacity to the governor while the proposed ferry system was being established. When the system was completed, the board would take over actual operation.
 The bill is a committee substi- tue for HB135, which would have established a transportation au- thority, patterned after Washing ton States Toll Bridge Authority.
The Nome nugget., 1961-03-06

JUNEAU lR - Legislation ere ating a new Department of Trans portation was introduced in the House of Representatives by the Finance Committee Saturday.
 The bill, a committee substitute, was drafted in an effort to win additional support for House Bill No. A, the big ferry bond meas ure which is still resting in the Finance Committee.
 The new department would be empowered to operate and main tain the following transportation facilities:
 l. The present state owned ferry and terminals.
 2. The ferries and terminals to be constructed from the proceeds of the $23 million bond issue au- thorized by the voters last Nov. 8.
 3. The Anchorage and Fair banks International Airports.
 4. Any airports, toll bridges, causeways, tunnels, ferries and terminals, railroads, ports and port facilities and any other trans portation facilities which may be financed in the future by the is- suance of revenue bonds author ized by the Legislature.
 The new department would not have any jurisdiction over the State Highway System. That function would remain with the State Department of Public Works Division of Highways.
 The proposed new department would be a unique agency in that it would be headed by a seven man board with full administra- tive powers. Only one member could be public employe.
 The board would be appointed by the governor and removed by the governor, subject to the ap- proval or disapproval of the Leg islature. The board could appoint

Grand Jury Proposes Prostitution and Gambling Be Made Legal in Philly

Our Legislators Set Pattern ..

ss A PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY earned, is an old
 A saying but according to recent Montana pub lcation, "a penny saved is penny earned-except that third of it goes for taxes
 It is hard to believe but direct and indirect, fed eral state and local taxes work out to approximately a third of our incomes.
 Those legislators who voted in favor of cutting their pay and who throughout the session have shown interest in trimming expenses wherever possible thinking to the tax burden within state and help set pattern for other states to fol- low These legislators thinking about the people whom they serve, although they could easily the extra pay just like anyone else It's easy for the sate like the individual to get into debt, but it takes lot of time and extra money to pay 1t back Many of the projects before hard working legislators indicate that they sound business investments with fair return in due tme but there other projects about which not enough is known at this time to make decision. We urge legislators to be among those who would rather delay definite action rather than plunge into something that has not been thoroughly analysed. Better to wait than be sorry.

Albert Ghiorso, led the Berk-
eley team which identified law
rencium. He collaborated with
Torbjormt Sikkeland, Almon E.
LarSh and Robert M. Latimer
The group worked for months
before achieving success last
February IA.
They started with about one
ten-millionth of an ounce of
scarce, artificial californian
mo. 98). This was deposited
in a thin film a tench of an
inch in diameter on nickel foil
only so millionths of an inch
thick. The foil was encased
in a capsule full of helium gas
/ The capsule was bombarded
by a powerful beam of elec-
trically charged boron atoms to
smash into the nuclei of cali
fornium atoms.
When this happened, the
californian absorbed the boron
and threw off a few electrically
neutral charges. eThe resulting
material was the new element
lawrencium.

New Chemical Element
Manufactured in Lab

Ernest o. Lawrence, who built
the first big atom smasher and
who founded the Berkeley
laboratory which bears his
name.
Lawrencium has a fleeting
existence, the scientists found.
Half a given quantity of it
decays naturally into less
heavy substances in eight Sec
onds.
The sample of lawrencium
created at Berkeley was so
small that even at this swift
rate of disintegration the SCI
entists were able to observe
only five atomic events" an
hour.
Their identification of the
substance was the first ever
made solely by nuclear means
without the use of any stand
ard chemical processes.
Creation of elements heavier
than the naturally occurring
uranium (No. 92) is an old
story at Berkeley, where DR.
Seaborg developed the tech
nique. California scientists
have discovered or have shared
in the discovery of 10 of the
IL "tranS-uranium" elements
identified so far in the atomic
age.

A chemical element which
must have become extinct after
creation has been "manufac-
tured" in an American labora-
tory.
This was announced yester-
day by the Atomic Energy
Commission, whose chairman,
Glenn T. Seaborg, pioneered
the method by which such ele-
mentS are discovered.
Four scientists at the Uni
verSity of California's Lawrence
Radiation Laboratory at Berk-
eley created a few atoms of
the substance by using a pow
erful atom SmaSher called
"HILAC." They identified it
as element No. 103 in the
periodic table and suggested
the name 'lawrencium" and
the chemical symbol Lw for it.
The name honors the late
