The 108-pound, female bear used because it is

In comparison, the tailed

Phone Firms
Sky Network
Idea Attacked

Closing two weeks of hearings
on the controversial space sat
elite communications system,
the House Commerce Commit
tee yesterday heard its first
testimony favoring Government
ownership of the proposed
network.
Representative Ryan, Demo-
crat Of New York. asked, why
should we hasten to give
away the fruits of billions of
taxpayer dollars to a private
monopoly owned and controlled
by a few huge companies and
dominated by the greatest and
most powerful monopoly in
America today?" He referred to
the American Telephone &
Telegraph Co.
Mr.. Ryan's plan for Govern
ment ownership Of the space
relay satellites and the ground
stations to receive their mes
sages got no support from COM
mittee members, who all along
have shown their leanings to-
ward a privately owned cor
poration to operate the system.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat
Of Tennessee, has backed the
Government ownership plan in
previous Senate hearings.
Mr.. Ryan's testimony repre-
sented a third choice for con-
troll Of the promising space
relay system. which eventually
could carry even television pro-
grams on an instant, world
wide basis.
The other two plans are:
A private corporation with
ownership limited to present
international communications
companies, strongly backed by
AT&T;; a private corporation,
but with voting stock available
to anyone, the plan advocated
by President Kennedy.
David Sarnoff, chairman of
the board of Radio Corporation
of America, told the committee
he Endorses the purposes of the
Presidents plan, if not its
specific language. In partic-
ular, he said RCA has no OBJ
lection to public ownership of

14-Mi||ion- Yeor-O|d Fossil of Pre-Mon
Hailed as Filling Gap in Evolution
BY WILLIAM HINES
Star Science Writer

Another one of the major
gaps in the story Of human
evolution" has been filled with
the discovery Of q 14-million-
year-old fossil in East Africa.
The discovery was announced
yesterday by DR.. L. s. B. Leakey,
British anthropologist, at a
news conference at the Ma
tional Geographic Society. DR..
Leakey said the discovery is
further evidence that East
Africa was the Garden Of
Eden" the cradle of mankind.
DR.. Leakey said the newly
discovered creature was not a
man, but had manlike charac-
teristics, including small eye
teeth and large molars. It was
probably not as heavy or as
large as q chimpanzee.
The new creatures scientific
name was not disclosed by DR..
Leakey, who said that under
the scientific rules this name
had to be established by pub
lication in a learned journal.
Publication is expected shortly
in the British Annals and Mag
azine Of Natural History, he
said.
Three Fragments Of Head
Only three small fragments
from the creatures head were
found in digging site 40 miles
from Lake Victoria in Kenya.
These were two halves Of the
upper jaw and one lower tooth.
DR.. Leakey said the three pieces
mesh in such a way that there
is no doubt they all came from
the same individual.
The pieces were among 1900
fossil finds dug from q thin
deposit sandwiched between
two layers Of solidified volcanic
ash. Their approximate age
was established by dating the
stony layers above and below
the fossil bed. The potassium
argon method Of dating was
used, and worked out to IA
million years plus or minus a
fraction of q million.
This dating method uses the
relationship between radioac-
tive potassium and non-radio-
active argon in rocks as a
method Of determining their
age. 1t is like the carbon-14
method Of dating organic ma
terial, but can be used to meas
ure vastly greater periods Of
time.
DR.. Leakey said he was I'M
able at this time to hazard a |
guess about the newly discov-
cred creatures habits. He said
it was found among the fossils
Of many other creatures. HE |

was presumably living like the
rest Of the animals" DR.
Leakey said.
In Separate Class
The scientist said the crea-
ture appeared not to belong
among either the pongids or
the hominids, but in a sepa-
rate classification. The pom
gids are the family of animals
that include gorillas, chimpan-
gees and orangutans, while the
hominids include some Of the
proto-men like Java, Australia
pithecus, Zinjanthropus and
present-day Homo sapiens.
Man, DR.. Leakey said, is
presently defined as a creature
in that stage of primate evo-
luton where it begins to make
tools to a set and regular pat
term" The oldest known man
creatures are Zinjanthropus,
discovered by DR.. Leakey in
1859, and a fossilized child.
zinjanthropus has been dated
at IA million years and the
child is considered somewhat
older.

was appointed to the position on a
permanent basis March 20, 1854.
Originally from Ely. Minnesota,
he served in the military police for
four years 1t was this work that
brought him to Alaska in 1943 when
he was in the Army under the Alas
ka Department of Military Police.
During the next two years his work
took him to Anchorage, Seward and
Fairbanks.
Deputy Marshal
Then November |, 1915, he was
appointed deputy US. Marshal and
assigned to Nenana for one year.
During that time he met and mar

After he left Nenana, Zaveral
served about four year tenure at
Nulato in the lower Yukon region
before being transferred to the local
marshals office in April 1851.
In December 1858 he received a
temporary appointment as Fair
banks Chief of Police which netted
him the job permanently in March
of the same year.
Zaverars experience with the
military police coupled with the
knowledge that he received with
three months at an occupational po-
lice school and two weeks at the
Los Angeles Police Academy pro-
vided a good background for his
challenging job.
Crowded Quarters
In the old city hall where the
original police department was To-
Gated, there was 400 feet of office
space Today the police department
is crowded and takes up most of the
office space in the city offices and
police annex at 321 18th.
Not only is 'crowdedness'' a prob
lem, but the decentralization that
results from having the Jail facility

are occasionally mistakes

are many facets.
For the past three years the Fair
