This year the traditional Riddles Parade of the Kodiak King Crab Festival will be the nucleus of a full scale parade to include floats, marching units and other features, Gene Sundberg, parade chairman, announced today.
 Letters have been sent to major organizations in town, and to mili- tary units at the Kodiak Naval Sta tion, asking their participation in the parade, which is to be held Sat- urday morning at 10 on May 6, the middle day of the big three-day celebration.
 Replies to the letters are needed as soon as possible as there is now less than a month left before the big event, Chairman Sunberg pointed out. All interested in pro- viding any type unit or float for the parade may indicate their inten- tion by calling Sgt. Bill Anderson, at the National Guard Armory, from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m The phone number is 486-5245.

 Michelangelo was always lonely man, desperately plagued by the financial demands of his ln- effectual family. He suffered from the jealousy of his contemporaries, and to a certain extent from his own envy of them, notably of Leo nardo and Raphael. Frequently ne found himself the pawn in the struggle for power among his var ious rivaling protectors, who alter nately paid generously for his serv- ices and withheld from him the funds to buy the raw material-the marble, the paints, the wax and bronze and clay-that made his work possible. The three women he loved were denied him, and evil insinuations all but destroyed his relationship with the young man who was the inspiration of his old age.

Seeks Aid To Vets

Rep. Ralph J. Rivers (D-Alaska) today announced that the commit tee on Veterans Affairs of the House of Representatives has granted his request for hearing on his bill which would restore the authority of the Veterans Admin istration to contract with local hos pitals in Alaska and Hawaii for the treatment of veterans having non- service-connected disabilities. The hearing will be held on April 10.
 This legislation is deemed neces- sary inasmuch as neither Alaska nor Hawaii have any V. A. hospital facility within 500 miles from their borders.

Book Review
 THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY By Irving Stone
By Irving Stone


 Published by Doubleday & Com pany, Inc. A book of the Month selection.
 When commissioned to paint and decorate the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel by Pope Julius II, Michel angelo protested, q am a sculptor, not a painter!" But there was no way he could avoid the assignment; the Pope demanded much but he knew his man.
 The frescoes Michelangelo pro- duced, ultimately involving 343 CO lossal figures within a complex frame of simulated architecture, absorbed nearly four years of his life, and established him as the greatest interpreter of his age, fus- ing magnificently the ideas of hum anism and the Church, previously kept apart.
 In The Agony and the Ecstasy, the Book -of-the-Month Club Selec- tion for April, Irving Stone re- creates the life and the times of this great genius of the high Italian Renaissance, and tells the story of his fascinating and prodigious achievements.
 Born in 1475 of a family of noble but impoverished Florentine bur- ghers, Michelangelo Buonarroti first proved his artistic skill as an apprentice of the painter Ghirlan- daio. But his predominant interest was sculpture, and very shortly he left Ghirlandaio to accept the pat ronage of the nightly Medici family.
 During the rest of his long life, spent alternately in Florence and Rome, he created some of the most brilliant works of sculpture the world has ever known. They in- clude Bacchus; David, his first CO., lossus;; the Pieta in Saint Peters; Moses on the tomb of Pope Julius II; and the allegorical figures on the Medici tombs-Twilight and Dawn, Night and Day.
 But like his contemporary Leo nardo da Vinci (who was twenty three years his senior), Michel angelo truly represents the univer- sal man of the Renaissance. He was not only great sculptor and painter but great draughtsman and also writer whose diaries, correspondence and sonnets reveal to us today much of his inner life. Enjoying the patronage of the Vat jean under seven p0pes as we'll as that of many princely households, chiefly the Medicis, he helped for tify beleaguered cities and engine cred roads over mountains that

Hospitals miracle" patient.
Its one of the most amaz-
ing things I've seen in my %
years at the hospital" said Hos
pital Administrator John ]. An
derson. cts a miracle that he's
alive"
The patient, Richard Ruhl
81, of 1890 South Ninth street,
expects to be going home In
three or four weeks.
For weeks after the accident
on November 20, he lay in crit
ical condition in the intensive
care section of the hospital.
Only recently his condition
changed to fair.
DR.. Michael F. Lapadula, the
surgeon who worked on Mr.
Ruhl, called it "a unique injury
rs inches of two-by-four
passed through his body before
it stopped"
DR.. Lapadula gave great
credit to the hospitals inten-
sive-care unit in saving Mr..
Ruhl's life. Among other
things, As pints of blood were
administered to Mr.. Ruhl.
For Mr.. Ruhl, the accident
that nearly took his life is like
a bad dream.
AS a favor for a friend, he
was driving a new and power
full convertible to an auto dealer
for a 3,000-mile checkup.
He was heading east on Old
Dominion drive in Mclean, just
past Chain Bridge road. A
utility truck, with three men
standing near it, was parked
on the right. The road was wet
from a recent rain.
Another car was coming from
the opposite direction on the

will consider the appointment.
The action puts Supervisor
James Keith, whom Mr.. Fitz-
gerald defeated for the in
dorSement by q margin of only
five votes. back in the running
for the appointment.
Group Bitterly Divided
Since the association voted
to recommend Mr.. Fitzgerald
q week ago. the group has been
bitterly divided and supporters
Of both men have taken the
fight directly to the Governor.
Mr.. Kelly said he was writing
members Of the association to-
day explaining the Governors
feelings in calling another
meeting.
At the same time, Fairfax
Delegate John c. Webb, along
with Delegate Dorothy Nc
Diarmid and State Senator
John A. K. Donovan, have
asked four bar associations In
the 18th Judicial Circuit to
select three nominees.
The procedure, they said in
letters mailed last night, would
reduce to an absolute mini
mum any friction between
members Of the bar"
The judgeship was left
vacant by the elevation of
Justice Harry L. Carrico to the
State Supreme Court of Ap.
peals earlier this month.
Sworn in Yesterday
Justice Carrico took his oath
of office in Fairfax yesterday,
with the Governor present.
After the ceremony, the
Governor told bar association
leaders he didn't like the idea
Of accepting a single recon-
mendation when the group was
so badly split.
He would not necessarily re-
quire three names in the fu-
ture. he said. but thought 1t
was necessary in this case be-
cause Of the breach.
Bar associations in Alex
andria and Falls Church also
have recommended Mr.. Fitz-
gerald for the vacancy. The
association in Prince William
County. the fourth jurisdiction
in the circuit, has not met.
The Falls Church action was
unanimous, but in Alexandria
Mr.. Fitzgerald won the indorse-
ment by q vote Of $500 over

Backs Oral Vaccine

NEW YORK, June % (AP),
DIR. Jonas A. Salk. father OF
the Salk polio vaccine, today
urged the American Medical
Association to make a further
study before backing mass use
Of a newer type vaccine to be
taken by mouth instead Of in
lection.
However, the House Of Dele
gates Of the ANA adopted q
resolution backing a report OF
the Council on Drugs which
recommended that the organi-
zation support sweeping use OF
an oral vaccine developed by
DR.. Albert B. Sabin. There
was no discussion.
In a telegram to Norman A,
Welcn, speaker OF the ANA
House Of Delegates, DR.. Salk
asserted:
"It would seem that
prior to adoption Of the re-
port in its present form, the
House Of Delegates might wish
to submit it to further scru-
tiny by others who may be
called upon to support and
carry out a program such as

tanned the bills most contro-

to have extended itself with
questionable wisdom and justi-
fication into areas more
properly the province Of a COM
mittee on preventive medicine
and public health.
"This involves matters of vast
economic implications which
the report does not analyze.
"The implication that all of
the vaccination against polio
already applied needs to be
redone with another vaccine
preparation will be difficult
for the public to understand
| in the face Of their own ex-
perience and will be difficult
for health officers and others
of US to help justify and to
support"
In urging massive use of
the Sabin vaccine, the Council
on Drugs said it could be ad-
miniStered even to those who
already have taken the Salk
shots.
The Sabin vaccine has been
approved by the Federal Food
and Drug Administration and
has been used extensively in
Russia. However, 1t will not be
available in quantity in this
country until later.
DR.. Salk, in his telegram, also
defended his vaccine against
implications that it is not as
effective as the oral type in
a complete wiping out of polio.
