Rabbits Hamper Motorists On Alaska Highway

EDMONTON, Alta. tR An overpopulation of rabbits in north ern British Columbia is causing some inconvenience for motorists driving the Alaska Highway.
 i've never seen them so thick" said a driver for Loiselle Trans port Ltd. of Dawson Creek, B.C. "They come across the highway in streams. Hundreds are being killed each day by vehicles and there's not much you can do about it."
 Bob Angus, publisher of the Fort Nelson News, described the difficulties one woman had with the rabbits.
 He said the woman, who was on here way to Fairbanks went into the ditch five times in 30 miles trying to avoid hitting rabbits scurrying across the highway.
 We finally convinced her she would be a long time getting to Alaska if she continued driving in that manner" MT. Sangus said. As far as we know, she stayed on the highway the rest of the way"

Two Major Labor Measures Pass as
 Legislature Heads Into Third Week

JUNEAU tR -- The 1862 yer sion of the State Legislature head ed into it's third week today, among strong indications that labor branding irons have been busy since the 1861 session.
 Last year, labor lobbyists trund- led home after the session grumb- ling that the working man did not get solitary thing.
 This year, two major pieces of labor legislation have already cleared both Houses, after less than two weeks, and another big piece of labor legislation has wes the approval of the House.
 Last week, the House gave quick approval to a comprehen- sive revision of the state minimum wages and hours act, including complete removal of the Fair Labor Standards Act clause.
 As now rewritten, the wages and hours act extends overtime pay protection to many service job classifications previously ex- empt. It exenpts firms with less than four employees from paying overtime.
 After the House passed the wages and hours act, it reached unexpectedly to the table, lifted the minimum wage bill, and pass ed it.
 The Senate concurred in the House changes to both bills almost before the some of the members of the upper chamber knew the measures were before the Senate.
 Today, Sen. Howard Pollock asked that the Senate rescind it's action on the wages and hours bill, arguing that the Senate acted Sstoo quickly, without adequate consideration of the changes 7
 Sen. R. J. McNealy said he had received number of requests for a chance for opponents to out line their objections to provisions of the bill.
 Before the Senate could get to a vote on Pollock's rescind mo- ton, Sen. Ccghill suggested that the Senate consider the bill in committee of the whole session at 10 am. Thursday.
 Opponents and proponents, will be able to testify on the measure at that time.
 The House earlier had given it's okeh to a measure which would prohibit any firm which is being struck from hiring re- placements for the strikes from out of the state.
 One other major piece of leg islation has also passed the House. It is the LongWorth Bill to re- quire primary processing on all red and pink salmon in Alaska

ficials Of the Aurora Downs race
track made a fortnight announce

disclosed that Liston and his adj

had signed contracts for use Of the
site, beginning Aug. 20. Aurora Is
few miles northwest Of Chicago.
Acquisitation of the track as his
training site represents a pre-
fight victory for Liston over Pat
terson, the heavyweight champion.
1t was reported that Patterson's
representatives had inspected the
Aurora Downs location and had
been negotiating for It's use.
But apparently the Liston camp

The heavyweight champion last
week was reported to be employ

that Patterson has a glass jaw"
This is a terminology used in box

Jail Leaders But
People Keep Up
Registration Drive

SaSser, Ga. lamp - Despite
the fact that segregationists jailed
two Of their leaders and warned
Negroes to stop holding vote raj
lies, so Negroes conducted a vote
registration meeting at a church
here last week.
Though a sheriff's car was
parked outside the church, the
meeting was in sharp contrast
with one here two weeks ago in
which about Is white men entered
unannounced, advised leaders Of
the meeting to leave the county
and told Negroes they should dis
continue secret meetings"
Jailed on "vagrancy" charge
since that meeting were Ralph
Allen, Fl, white, of Melrose, Mass,
and Charles Sherrod, %, of Peters
burg, Va. They were arrested at
the courthouse when they accom-
panied five Negroes to register
them to vote.
Both Allen, who claims he was
beaten twice by segregationists,
and Sherrod, were leaders of the
meeting which was invaded by a
white sheriff, his deputies, and an
assortment Of "disturned white
men,"
At the meeting this week, a
sheriff's car parked outside the
church stopped and checked num-
erous cars as they drove by the
building. About three deputy sher-
ifs were seated in the car, which
partially blocked the road.
Among those attending the
meeting was Carl Roundtree, may
or of nearby Dawson, Ca, who
told reporters he was there in his
capacity as editor Of the Dawson
News, a weekly newspaper.

A.B.C. Announces
Plan To Employ
NEGRO NeWScasfer

New York (ANP) - The tele-
vision industry was assured Of
having a Negro newscaster for
the first time in its history after
an announcement last week by
the American Broadcasting Co.
that qualified candidate would be
hired for the job.
The announcement was made by
James c. Hagerty, former Presi-
Dental press secretary in the
Eisenhower Administration and
now vice president and News Chief
for ABC-TV, who said the field
had been narrowed to eight can
didates.
The names Of the eight were
withheld, but Hagerty said they
lived along the Atlantic seaboard
and in the midwest. Some, he said,
had news experience with local
radio stations.
Nevertheless, the name of Will
liam Worthy, Jr., who in 1854 was
foreign correspondent for the Bal
timore Afro-American, was men
toned. Worthy made a special re-
port from Moscow over the Col
umbia Broadcasting system radio
network, but he did so as a free
lance reporter.
Worthy, however, had gotten in
hot water with the government
when Hagerty was Presidential
news chief for entering Red China
in opposition to a State Depart
ment ban on American newsman,
and that is likely to put him in a
bad light for the ABC-TV job.
The decision to hire a Negro
reporter followed months of in
vestigation, during which some 80
Negro candidates were interview
ed, according to Hagerty. He said
he had been working quietly on
the matter about a year"
