Dr. Janet C. Travell Will Serve as the
 White House Physician

WASHINGTON R - For the first time in history a woman, one of President Kennedy's doc tors for several years, will serve as White House physician.
 Kennedy, it was learned defi- nitely Thursday, has decided to name Dr. Janet G. Travell, 59, of New York to the post. There had been previous reports of her selection.
 Announcement of her appoint ment is expected within a day or two.
 It has been almost 40 years since a President has selected a non-service doctor as White House physician. There never has been a woman in the post.
 Dr. Travell is credited with curing Kennedy of severe back trouble which bothered him for a number of years.
 She reportedly discovered Ken nedys left leg is slightly shorter than his right and that this con- tributed to the back trouble. It was corrected with lift in the left shoe.
 A graduate of Cornell Univer- sity Medical School, Dr. Travell has practiced in New York City since 1926. She is married to John Powell, an investment coun- selor They have two married daughters.

Impossible Job"

"The governors budget and his requests for so much money from general obligation bonds are going to leave the committee with an impossible job," McNabb said.
 ''I don't want to be on the ship when they blow her out of the water"
 The Fairbanks Democrat, the only member of his party from Fairbanks assigned to the Finance Committee, indicated, too, that he, like Sen. Al Owen, another lib- eral, was extremely unhappy with the committee assignments given him.
 "I've been practicing law in Alaska since 1949," McNabb said, 'yet I wasn't even given a spot on the Judiciary Committee"
 McNabb was assigned as Chair man of the Commerce and Labor Committee, job that as an ad- mitted liberal he didn't expect to get, but he was surrounded by conservatives.
 Owen, Chairman of the Finance Committee during the First State Legislature, fared worse.
 He didn't even land a spot or the Finance Committe this go- round and, despite his seniority he wasn't given single commit tee chairmanship.
 The Democrats, including Owen and McNabb, hold a 13-7 edge ir the Senate.
 The last two lawmakers to take their seats were Sen. Eben Hop. son O-Barrow) and Rep. Jame. C. Parsons R-Anchorage).
 Hopson was member of the Eskimo Scout detachment which marched in President Kennedy: Inaugural Parade in Washington D. C., last Friday.
 Parsons had advised the House before it opened Monday tha business would delay him, then closure of the Juneau Airpor' by fog Tuesday forced an exten. sion of the time he had planned to be absent from the lower chamber.

McNabb Submits Resignation; Budget Requests Make the Job Impossible"
By Ward Sims

JUNEAU LR - Sen. George Me Nabb of Fairbanks asked the Sen ate Wednesday to be relieved from his post on the powerful Senate Finance Committee.
 McNabb's move was apparent ly another step in the widening breach between Liberal and Con- Servative Democrats in the upper chamber.
 The Fairbanks liberal took the floor late Wednesday, as the Sen- ate was about to adjourn for the day, and said quietly:
 "I would like to ask the per mission of the Senate to resign from the Finance Committee. I have no interest in serving on the committee. I have never served on it in the past. l ask unanimous consent to resign"
 Rules Committee Chairman John McNees asked that the mat ter be referred to the Committee on Committees, which assigned McNabb to Finance Senate Presi- dent Frank Peratrovich agreed. Resignation Unexpected
 NcNabb's unexpected acti 0 n came on day packed with events
 Gov. Egan presented his fiscal 1862 Budget Message, asking ap- proval of a $59 million state spending program and an increase in individual income taxes to help pay for increased expenditures
 The governor also submitted a raft of other executive request bills, including his employment security proposals and his sug- gestions for a borough system ot local government for Alaska.
 The last two members of the Legislature, one delayed by a president and the other by busi- ness and fog, were both sworn in and took their seats.
 While McNabb made no ex- plantations on the floor of the Sen- ate other than to say he had nc interest in Finance and had never served on the Finance Committee before, he was not reluctant to discuss his actions outside the chamber.

On Dreaming
 Of Being a Big Bold Pirate
By Hal Boyle

NEW YORK LR - Every red. blooded American boy at one time dreams of being a big bold pirate
 So, in our opinion, does every redblooded middle-aged Ameri. can man.
 The seizure in the Caribbean this week of the Portuguese lux ury liner Santa Maria by TO pas sengers inimical to Portuguese Premier Salazar startled the world.
 It held special interest to stu dents of pirate lore because il took place in the same waters once scouraged by Blackboard perhaps the most villainous free booter of them all.
 But, on closer examination of this rebellion at sea, we must admit to a feeling of personal letdown. After all, it was a poli- tical act, done by a group for a political purpose.
 It holds none of the high ad- venture promised by our own fondest daydream - which is to hold up the giant Cunard Liner Queen Mary single-handed with carved wooden gun. We insist on wooden gun as the sight of blood makes us faint, particular ly if it is our own.
 Over the years we've met dozens of other people who yearn- ed to rob the Queen Mary, but most of them are lazy. Foolproof Plan
 They haven't taken the trouble to think up a foolproof plan. We have Here it is:
 We board the great liner as a passenger and when it reaches certain point at sea we surprise the captain in his cabin with our trusty little wooden gun and hold him hostage.
 Then we have the captain sum- mon all his officers to the cabin and lock them in. Next, we ax all the radio equipment so no alarm can be spread.
 It is now time to rifle the ships strong box, and we figure it ought to hold three - maybe five - million bucks.
 Later, we are lowered into a launch, holding the captain as hostage, and speed to the horizon where a hidden submarine awaits us. We board the submarine, and leave the captain free to return to his ship in his launch. "A Utopia
 The submarine sails off to a remote south seas island, where we found dynasty, build a palace, and live happily and wealthily ever after with a harem of 45 native girls.
 There is only one reason this daydream has never come true. Our wife refuses to lend us the money to rent used submarine Every time we ask her, she says:
 'No, I won't. What in heavens name do you want to hire a sub- marine for"
 Think we could tell her the truth? Of course not. She'd blah it all over the community by nightfall, and then half our neigh bors would want to get into the act - and share the loot.
 That won't do. Either we're going to pull this job single handed - or we're not going tc

DINING OUT
Sui Woo WHAT?
By JOHN M. ROSSON

Leave it to the Chinese to
concoct a dish you feel you just
have to try. particularly after
you learn its history.
Even if you're not a fan OF
Chinese offerings, we would
think you'd find it difficult to
skip over sal WOO opp.
Not at first, of course. be-
cause sal WOO opp doesn't mean
a thing.
But when someone tells you
that sal" means west. woo"
means lake, and opp" means
duck and that West Lake duck
dates back thousands of years
and comes from the section of
China which produces that
country's most beautiful wom-
en-, you'd just have to order
it, wouldn't you?
To top it off. sal WOO opp
includes shredded mushrooms,
bamboo shoots, water chest
nuts, Chinese green's, and
Smithfield ham. all in a delight
full. one-dish combination.
The duck. of course. is fried
to a golden brown and then
sauted. The topping makes it
all the more juicy.
Our first encounter with sal
WOO opp occurred this week at

restaurant sweepstakes in the
Silver Spring area-the Jasmin

about sal WOO opp. We identi-

us he manages the Jasmin for
two Chinese and two American
doctors, and put the question
to him.
West Lake COR Sal Woo Mr..
Wong explained, is an area in
central China which produces
delicious ducks. They are
known as West Lake ducks and
are considered a delicacy. Thus
the name of the dish.
But West Lake also produces
China's most beautiful women" "
Mr.. Wong added. Their COM
plexions are considered abso-
lutely perfect and their eyes
brilliant" he said. "and all Chi
ma looks on them with awe"
Mr.. Wong, like other Ameri-
can restaurateurs. cannot get
West Lake ducks because OF
China's political situation. so
he uses the best of American
ducks.

Nelson Eddy has just
achieved something Of a uni
que distinction. Back this week
at the Shoreham Blue Room,
he now holds the course record
for briefest period between en-
gagements there. His last
previous appearance here was
made only last March and no
other Blue Room headliner
ever has been returned so
quickly.
That Mr.. Eddy can reappear
so soon-and find his audience
eagerly awaiting him-should
surprise no one who remem-
berS when he was making all
those movie operettas. A week
didn't pass in those days with
out some dedicated Nelson
Eddy fan popping up to claim
a new worlds record for hav-
ing seen Naughty Marietta"
or whatever 80 times.
Some Of these same people
apparently now are working
on new records for number Of
visits to the Blue Room to
commune with Mr.. Eddy. This,
at any rate, is the fairly clear
implication of the applause
that greetS the first two bars Of
a favorite Eddy song.
In case you have spent the
last decade in exile on st.
Helena and consequently have
been out Of touch. this is the
new Nelson Eddy" But not
really new, he says. All he has
done is get down into the arena
to let everyone discover what
the moviemakers kept hidden
so well-that he has a sense of
humor and a warm personality
as we'll as that voice.
He has been and still is aided
in this people-to-people sing
ing project by a blond dazzler
named Gale Sherwood and he
couldn't have found a better
foil. The decorative Miss Sher-
wood is endowed with an un-
commonly good voice for the
rejuvenation of some of those
old Eddy jeanette MacDon-
aid romantic duets. She is
equipped also with a sense of
fun that gives the Eddy act a
captivating comedenne as well
as a winning vocal partner.

be doubly-appreciated. He is
a straightforward. no-nonsense
type. The voice that won him
