His newest show-and here
we resume the theme of classi-
cal cultures called "a Funny
Thing Happened on the Way
to the Forum" 1t is a free
wheeling. musical adaptation of
several incidents from the COM
edies Of Titus Maccius Plautus,
most popular and probably the
most lowbrow of Roman play
wrightS. In an interesting way
for all its brash, brassy and
bawdy Broadway trappings-
A Funny Thing is a lively and
historically valid Interpretation
of the freewheeling tradition of
the Roman comic theater, as

passed down by way Of the
Italian commedia dell 'arte.
It's debatable whether any
single scene in our contempo-
rary theater has as many in
stances of comically mistaken
identity as the second act of A
Funny Thing. In the hands of
three such gifted comedians as
Zero Mostel. Jack Clifford and
David Burns-and moving at
the breakneck speed which has
been an Abbott hallmark since
the days of Room Service" and

would have Shakespeare rolling
in the aisles.

and his associates, Shakespeare
was a great admirer of Plautus,
too. He proved it by borrowing
from him the plot for Comedy
of Errors" "Sic transit" as we
say in Latin I.

Garbage collection, along with
the Barnette st. right-of-way
turned out to be the hot points
in Mondays Fairbanks City
Council meeting.
A review of refuse collection
rates was postponed for two
weeks, but garbage collection
still dominated a portion of the
meeting.
1nstigating the discussion was {
letter from Mrs Ingeborg Wilson
of Hamilton Acres objecting to the
collection of 3 per cent sales tax
outside the City by several service
companies. Mrs Wilson pointed out
that only 2 per cent tax should be
charged for areas outside the City
limits. Among the businesses charg-
ing 3 per cent was Fairbanks Gar
bage Disposal Co.
Bernie Miller of Fairbanks Gar
bage explained that his firm had
been collecting per cent. He stated
that decision should be made as
to whether the service was per-
formed at the home. where the gar
bage is picked up or at the City
dump, where it is disposed Of
City Attorney Barry Jackson
stated that in such an instance, the
point of pickup was the point of
service, so only per cent should
be charged. He expanded this de-
cision to point out that the same
thing applied to delivered sales: that
the sale actually took place at the
point Of delivery. Under this in
depreciation, goods bought inside the
City but delivered outside the City
should only be assessed 2 per cent.
Miller then defended his firms
actions by pointing out that the
City should receive something from
out of town garbage collections, as
the garbage is disposed of at the
City dump. Otherwise, he stated.
the City is substituting outside-the-
city residents by providing dump
facilities at no cost.
City Attorney Jackson then point
ed out that the only subsidy was to

the garbage collectors, who were
not paying dumping fees on foreign
(non-city) garbage. After some dis
cussion the Council decided tina
garbage trucks carrying foreign gar
bage should be assessed norma
dumping fees of 81 per load.
Barnette Widening
The proposed widening of Bar
nette Street drew fire from Coun.
Gilman Darrell Brewington.
BreWington attacked a plan pro.
posed by City engineers to widen
Barnette to go feet. He stated that
such plan would involve the pos
sible moving of the entire NC. Co.
office. complete with vault, at a
cost of about $4,000
Brewington also objected to the
so foot width because such a plan
would probably cause a year delay
in the Barnette paving. He urged
paving Barnette at 90 feet, saying,
Il think that by paving the existing
north-south streets of Noble, Cush-
man and Barnette we will be doing
what the taxpayers want" He said
the voters have had enough wait
ing til next year"
BreWington then moved the City
manager proceed with the perma-
nent paving of Barnette Street at 40
feet. The motion died for lack of a
second. $3.50 5,
Councilman Ted Cox stated that
he felt Barnette should be widened
to so feet, even if it meant waiting
an additional year.
Councilman Tom Roberts took
the same stand as Cox, stating, 81
think it's chance for us to have
a good street for once" He went
on to propose that perhaps that
portion of Barnette between First
and Seventh could be paved this
year. He then moved that the City
Manager proceed with negotiations
to widen Barnette to go feet. and
to try and get Barnette between
First and Seventh paved this year.
The motion passed, with Brew
ington opposing it.

. CITY COUNCIL news HIGHLIGHTS .

Election returns from the April
"a Bonding Election were not cam
vassed at the meeting: City Clerk
Wally Droz explained that he was
still checking the voting lists for
ineligible voters. He said that seven
unqualified people had been allowed
to vote in the first five precincts.
City Attorney Jackson pointed
out that if twenty-five or more I'M
qualified voters had been allowed
to vote, the entire City election
was invalidated.
Liquor License
A request for liquor license
transfer from the PIX Liquor Store
to Francis Wirth and Lloyd Levi
at the International Liquor Store
was postponed for one week, for
further investigation. City Manager
Nordby had reported that the In
ternational Hotel was 178 #. from
the Immaculate Conception Church,
and that a granting of the license
would violate State law prohibit
ing liquor stores or bars within
200 #. of a church.
After several months of discus
sion and motions, DR.. Frank Spaul-
ding was finally given a deed re-
striction, allowing him to use his
now-multiple. residential zone d
property at the corner of 18th and
Airport Way as clinic.
The City Attorney was instructed
to move the polling place for the
Fifth Precinct from the library to
the new Fire Station in time for the
next election
The Council approved the pur-
chase of $4,000 gallons of road oil
from Standard Oil Co. and agreed to
ship the oil via the Alaska Rail
road. Mayor Ribar pointed out that
the 5000 railroad shipping charge
was almost quarters of the
price of the oil (S8,039).

Public Opinion and the Unions

increases, SO that there would
be q beneficial effect on
price stability. Now, this con-
tract does not meet either
one Of those two standards.
and therefore I regret it,"
But where is the remedy?
The contract now has been
made. The construction COM
panies have surrendered. The
costs undoubtedly will be
passed on to the public in
higher rents. The rights of a
union to bargain for an en-
tire industry in the largest
city in the country has been
acquiesced in. But If the en-
ployers in that same city
were to agree to fix prices to
absorb the added wage costs,
they would be promptly pros
ecuted by the U. s. Attorney
General.
When is the President 60
ing to put the labor unions
on the same footing as man
agement? If a wage formula
that provides for uniform
payments by employees affects
the price, the labor unions
escape any penalty.
The administration answers
that it is going to depend on
public opinion. It has been
known for several days that
officials here were unhappy
about what the electrical un-
ion was doing, but not a word
Of reproof came from the
White House or the Depart
ment of Labor. No letters
were written in advance to
the. heads CT the electrical
union to endeavor to per-
suade them to modify their
demands. After it is all over,
there is only an expression Of
"regret"-hidden away in a
press conference transcript
Of many thousands Of words.
Plainly, the responsibility
Of labor union leaders in Ger
tain industries is growing
into a serious threat to the
economic welfare Of the
country. The President still
is reported as being perplexed
over why so many business
men consider the administra-
ton hostile to business. It is
a cause for worry at a time
when the closest cooperation
is needed on all sides to deal
with the economic problems
that are international as well
as national in their scope.
The only remedy is to treat
labor union leaders and
management alike.

ILLIAM ,. WHIIE
Gomesmonship on Urban Issue

AS to the basic merits Of
the issue: 1t is not easy 70
see why a new cabinet de-
partment should be created
especially for city people,
though such a department no
doubt would hardly cause a
collapse of the Republic by
nightfall. The panied cries
of proponents that 10 per
cent of the people are urban
and are now somehow mot
represented in the cabinet"
seem a bit odd.
This can be so only II 1t
be assumed that city folk
presently have mo repre-
Sentation" in the State De-
partment, the Treasury
Department, the Justice De-
partment, the Com m cree
Department, the Labor De-
partment, the Post Office
Department, the Interior De-
partment, the Defense De-
partment, the Department of
Health, Education and We'll
fare-and the White House.
1t is all, in short, a good case
of non-Madison avenue huck-
sterism, of creating "consum-
er demand" so to speak,
where none existed before.
Evening star., 1962-01-26

The furore over what
President Kennedy regarded
as q base and inadmissible
question at his press con-
ference will die away soon,
but the question 1t raises
about the danger Of such
conferences remains to
plague the press, President
and public.
An injustice was done to
two relatively obscure per-
sons and in the Highest
Court this will weigh as
heavily as the fate Of a
Nation. That it has hap
pened before, as in the Nc
Carthy era, is not even a
plea in mitigation; it is only
a reflection of human i'm
perfection.
What the President has to
consider is whether the press
conference. one Of his main
conduitS to public opinion,
can and should be continued
in the presence of proof that
reportorial restraint cannot
be taken for granted. Before
the instant communication
of television, that hazard ex-
listed, Of course, but was
thoroughly minimized.

an estate she valued at $2.1
million.
Said Miss Adams: 1.-THE gross
value doesn't present a true
picture Of the estate at all.
Ernie had been working with
the Government for a long time
trying to untangle his affairs"
She said the family knew how
much it owed for 1866 and 1857,
but didn't yet know its liabil-
tiles for the four years since
then.
There is a tax lien on our
house and its contents" she
said. I'VE won't know where
we stand until the Government
gets through going over the
books"
