Dear Editor.
The trip from Basel to London
took only one hour by plane
Air France had phoned to Lon.
don for reservations at the
Hotel Cumberland, where we
had a very nice room with
bath. Prices were not as high
as we had expected.
Years ago, the writer visited
London. This large city has moi
changed very niue except
where the bombs of the late
war destroyed part of it.
The Boobies (police) are the
same as ever-no gun, no club
We noticed a drunk asleep on
the sidewalk, resting his head
against a garbage can, and
heard the policeman say, Hi
say, old chap. Get hupn'
"Oh, said the drunk, HIN
all right
The man of law and order
kept on walking Nobody stop
ped but us, nobody took notice,
and the many pedestrians con-
tinued to pass each other as
usual, while the bum turned
over on his other side.
OF course, we saw Picadilly
and Trafalgar Square, where
the the pigeons seem to out
number the people of London
They lit on our shoulders and
made scratches on my bald
dome.
We Americans use our fork
with the right hand, and our
English is different from Cock
ney English.
Pardon me-" a large woman
said, Hare you Canadians@
We told her we were Ameri.
cans from Alaska.

Equal Pay for Women Is Close to Becoming Law

WASHINGTON R - Congress has approved the principle that women should be paid the same wages as men for equal work and 1t is close to becoming the law of the land.
 It has taken 16 years of plugging to get this recognition of simple justice" Asst. Secretary of Labor Esther Peterson commented after House passage of the equal pay bill Wednesday by voice vote.
 The Senate passed a similar bill week ago. Now, if both chambers can iron out minor differences in the measures sponsored by Rep. Edith Green, D-Ore), and Sen. Pat McNamara, O-Mich), it will be headed for President Kennedys signature. And Kennedy is for it.
 The measure will become effec- tive a year after the President signs the bill. In cases where col lective bargaining agreements are involved, it may be two years.
 The bill would prohibit discri- imitation because of sex in the payment of wages to some 27 mil lion workers now covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act which includes minimum wage laws.
 Agriculture, hotel, motel, restau- rant and laundry workers are ex- cluded along with professional, managerial and administrative per sonnel.

E. gan ScOtches Ru1nOrs of Four Way Job Switch
By Ward Sims

JUNEAU tR - Gov. Wm. Egar today publicly scotched rumors o1 a four-way job switch involving himself, US. District Judge Walter Hodge, US. Rep. Ralph Rivers anc Secretary of State Hugh Wade.
 There have been persistent ru- mors in the state capital that Hodge, who has reached retire ment age, plans to step down.
 Upon Hodges retirement, so the rumor went, Rivers would be ap- pointed to the vacancy, Egan would appoint himself as Rivers suc- cessor in Congress and Wade would step up as governor.
 Commenting on the rumor to- day, after acknowledging that he, too, had heard the report from sev- eral sources, Egan said:
 MT. Rivers will be there at the end of his current term and I hope he will be there when the next term starts.
 T have no aspirations to be a congressman"
 Rivers, on number of occa- sions, has remarked to close friends that he would welcome a judicial appointment.
 While Egan took himself out of the picture, insofar as the job switch rumor was concerned, an- other source indicated that should Hodge retire from the federal court bench, Rivers would be the No. candidate as his replacement, after serving out the balance of his term.
 This same source indicated that should Rivers receive judicial appointment, his seat in Congress would be sought actively by George Sundborg, administrative assistant to Sen. Ernest Gruening
 In the background is Egan's fu- ture political plans, if any, which the governor has steadfastly re- fused to discuss, with 312 years of his second term remaining.
 The state constitution limits the tenure of a governor to two, full, successive terms, but Egan would be eligible to run again under a technicality.
 The constitution provides that the term of office of the governor is four years, beginning at noon on the first Monday in December following his election.
 Egan wasn't sworn in for his first term until Jan. 3, 1859, the day Alaska became a state. His first term ran from then until Dec. 3 1862, 31 days short of a full foul years.
 At Anchorage Judge Hodge hac this to say:
 q have not reached retiremen1 age. I have 212 years to go anC have no intention of stepping down."

Rep. Wiggggins Says Tourists Unhappy With Ferry Trips

ANCHORAGE LR - A legisla- tor said today tourists are mot at all happy" with the Alaska ferry system and he fears they will spread their impressions as "un- happy and dissatisfied customers"
 The criticism came from Rep. Wm. Wiggins, R-AnchO, in let ter to the Anchorage newspapers. He said he had talked with several 'very disappointed tourists while returning from trip to four west ern states via Prince Rupert and the Southeastern Marine Highway system.
 'All in all, the tourist who is supposed to be paying for our fer ries is unhappy and dissatisfied" Wiggins wrote. He feels he has been taken on the cost and is dis appointed in what he has seen.
 ''He made the trip once but never again. Unfortunately, his voice of experience is the voice which will receive the attention of our potential customers"
 From his own experience, Wig gins said, he would specifically criticize:
 The ferry dock at Prince Rupert, which he said is difficult to find with only few small signs to direct the tourist. He said the ticket office was unoccupied and no schedule was posted. Rates, which he called extremely high.
 Location of docks, which he said
 generally were located miles from
 the center of town.
 ! Service facilities, said Wiggins
 "The dining salon is understaffed meals very expensive. The snack bar is inadequate and the money changer machines do not seem re- liable"
 In Juneau, Public Works Com missioner Richard Downing said the prepondence of comments re- ceived by his office on the ferry system In general has been highly favorable.
 Downing said there had been some constructive criticism which we are trying to correct as soon as possible"
 The ferry terminal docks in five of the eight cities served by the system are within the corporate limits of the communities in volved-Prince Rupert, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg and Skag- way.
 The Haines terminal is three miles from town. The Sitka ter minal is about seven miles from town and the Juneau terminal is some 13 miles out. A new ter minal is to be constructed in downtown Juneau by the city, for 1aocp fO tho ct9ta

The plump greenish or brown

less feeders on tomatoes. They
roam over several fruits, spelling

Moths appear in early spring.
Soon after emerging, females begin

larvae hatch, they feed sparingly
on leaves, eventually finding their
way to fruits. They feed on toma-
