 Jubllance was the keyword at the Otchek quonset hut on that bright spring day in May.
 Oscar Neilsen, an Anchorage Pioneer, hit the bonanza on two occasions. In 1882 he won S16,O0O and a little more than S3,0OO in l958. The winnings brought him an extra bonus. While on visit to Copenhagen, financed by the win nings. he met the woman who be- came his wife.
 Another oldtimer, J. H. Jasper. prospectof from Iditarod days. hit the ice bounty once too. He sent seven dollars north to friends and asked, "put this money on the ice pool so I can come back to Alaska one more time."
 Despite the good news of his luck, Jasper was singled out by death for another journey. His dream never came to pass.
 Since 1855 the Nenana Ice Cas- sic committee has handed out checks totalling $771, 1,499-more than three quarters of one mil lion dollars! The winnings in re- cent years goes like this: 1855. s1o4,5oO; 1856, s1O6,ooO; 1857, s113,500; 1858, s104,5 800; 1859, S93,000; 1860, sSo,OOO; 1861. s75.- 999 and in 1862, S84,0OO.

States Biggest Guessing Game
 Has Intrigued Alaskans Since 1917

There's a special fraternity in Alaska-those who have won the Nenana Ice Pool-and application for memberships are again on the auction block.
 Deadline for obtaining tickets on this annual event is at mid night sharp, Saturday, April s.
 And according to latest reports from the manager of the event, there is still 50 inches of ice un- der the tripod.
 Winnings in excess of one mil lion dollars have been paid since the well-known classic first start ed in 1917. That pot, put together by men building the Alaska Rail- road, was for $500.
 As the big guessing game. which calls for naming the day, hour and minute that the spring ice goes out in the Panama River, grew and engulfed the entire ter rltory and part of Canada, so did the jackpot swell. Sometimes, number of winners are on the button and the monies are shar- ed.
 But there have been big win ners too. Mervin Anderson, for instance, held the only ticket few years back. It tinkled the cash register to the tune of $1O2,- 900 for the Fairbanks bus driver. Anderson's feat was duplicated in 1852 when Charles R. Montjoy, of Juneau, tapped the pool for like amount. Uncle Sam clipped off S69,000 as a flair share" but Montjoy was happy nonetheless.
 Even the losers sang praises last year as Bill Otcheck, a Wa silla homesteader, and his mother. Mrs. Rachael Zuidhof, pocketed $42,000, one half of the winnings. Otcheck, as it turned out, was disabled homesteader with eight children. His wife was in Iowa undergoing treatment for a curva- ture of the spine.
 Mrs. Zuidhof, a resident of the Pioneers Home, picked the win ming time from 20 tickets she marked.
 Otchek was disabled in 1852 while employed by the Alaska

Chancery Bias Charge Feared

bill was not intended to dis
criminate against African ma
tions. The language of the bill
itself forbids discrimination
against any foreign govern
ment on the basis of "the race,
color, or creed of any of its
citizens"
Still, an accident Of history
makes State leery that the ef-
feet of the bill will be dis
criminatory, regardless Of its
intent. Africans will bear the
brunt simply because Africans
have yet to build permanent
chanceries here. Most other
nations already have.
Alternative Cited
The Zoning Commissions al
tentative would let foreign gov
ernments African, in practice
apply for permission to open
chancerieS in residential areas.
But each chancery would have
to be judged compatible" with
both present and proposed
neighborhood development on
the basis of firm criteria.
Parking spaces, height, site
acreage, proximity to other
buildings and architectural de-
sign make up the criteria.
Judgment would be strictly
on the standards, the Commis-
sion reasons.
The standards, In turn,
would protect against "discre-
tionary" judgments, whic h
themselves might be consid-
cred discriminatory toward AZ
rican nations.
However, one member Of the
Zoning Commission, Commits
sioner Walter N. Tobriner, re-
portedly voted against the
standards.
Mr.. Tobriner has said pub
licly that he is clatly opposed
to the establishment of addi-
tional chanceries in any resi-
Dental areas.
Mr.. Tobriner repeatedly
takes the position that it would
not be discriminatory to bar
future chanceries from resi-
Dental neighborhoods sin C e
foreign countries can build
their embassy residences any
where.

leagues, Senator Morse and Re-
publican Seator Beal of Mary
land, who both called for a
law change at hearings.
African, Russian and French
repercussions, hardly discussed
at hearings, may bear persua-
sively on the subcommittee de-
cision.
BY next month, without con-
gressional action, the fate of
Russian and Congolese requests
for residential area sites will
be decided by the Scrivener
Board. June 6 Is the tentative
date for a hearing on revised
plans for a Soviet embassy
chancery, at 6036 oregon ave-
nue. NV. If they can be drawn.
Bruce Sundin, attorney for
landowners, has asked the BzA
to withhold a decision until
after May 26, in hopes Soviet
building height and site revi-
sions can be developed. The
majority Of surrounding prop
erty owners either want the
ISoviets, or are neutral, al
though many others in the
area are opposed.
Should the BZA permit the
Soviets to move into the resi-
Dental area. the Fulbright bill
still could block construction If
Congress cleared legislation be-
fore the Russians turned the
first spade of dirt.
The French, too, are nurtur-
ing plans for a brand new
chancery the Fulbright bill
could outlaw. Senator Fulbright
frankly admits he seeks to stop
the kind of building tn e
French contemplate on his own
street.

Probably only a law could
block the French. This chan

city tried to regulate chan

no regulatory powers to res
