STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE
IN MATHEMATICS CONTEST
Tomorrow morning, ten Nome
High students will participate in
the 1962 Annual High School
Mathematics Contest, Richard Mc
Cormick anounced today. This
contest is jointly sponsored by
the Mathematical Assn, of Ameri
ca and the Society of Actuaries in
Canada.
The contest aims to create and
sustain interest in mathematics
among students of secondary
schools by supplementing the
regular classroom work, and at
tempts to broaden and deepen
mathematical concepts.
Students participating in the
contest include Tom Boucher, Pam
Mulvihill, Gail Croell, Floyd
Kugzruk, Jeanette Amundsen, Ann
Chambers, Richard Foster, Devon
Alexander, David Grant and Jeff
Grant.
Wm. Ullrich, mathematics in
structor who will administer the
test, pointed out that expanding
scientific and social horizons point
up the urgent need for personnel
trained on several levels in pure
and applied mathematics. “The
contest suggests to the secondary
student some of the fascination
and imagination in mathematical
study and it is hoped the sug
gestion will be strong enough to
make continued work in mathe
matics and all its allied fields ir
resistible,” Mr. Ullrich added.
FAA ISSUES REGULATIONS
ON TAKEOFF PROCEDURES
FOR BOEING 707 JETS
WASHINGTON tf) — The Fed
eral Aviation Agency has issued
new regulations on takeoff pro
cedures for Boeing jet airliners.
It was a Boeing jet that crashed
in New York shortly after takeoff
last Thursday, killing 95 persons.
The FAA said the new regula
tions were prompted by flight tests
conducted in an effort to learn
what caused Thursday’s crash of
an American Airlines Boeing 707.
The ruling, an FAA spokesman
said, was not intended to point a
finger at the crash's cause. That,
he said, has not been determined.
The takeoff procedure ordered
is nothing new, he said, and many
airlines already use it. He said
it merely seems wise to stress it.
The ruling covers operation of
wing flaps during takeoff. It also
fixes maximum takeoff speeds.
The FAA also prohibited opera
tors of the Boeing jets from using
die autopilot on takeoff so long
as they are below 1,100 feet.
There was no restriction on the
use of autopilots on the approach
to airports.
Two U.S. President were mar
ried on their birthdays: John Ty
ler at 23, and Theodore Roosevelt
at 22. Both later became widow
ers and remarried.

Pre-Registration
Of Alaska Voters
JUNEAU UFi — A bill which
would require pre-registration of
voters in Alaska’s major popu
lation areas passed the House late
Monday by a vote of 24-16.
The measure also eliminates the
provision for straight party voting
in general elections.
Six Democrats joined the solid
18-member Republican minority
in approving the bill.
However, its backers could not
muster the necessary two-thirds
vote which would have provided
an emergency effective date clause
whoch would have made the bill
effective after passage or ap
proval.
That means it will not become
effective until 90 days after ap
proval by Gov. Egan, if it passes
the Senate and gets Egan’s okeh.
The pre - registration clause
would require voter registration
in all districts in which 3,000 or
more votes were cast in the pre
ceding general election. However,
registration would not be required
in precincts in which less than
300 votes were cast in the pre
ceding general election.
Under those terms, pre-regis
tration would be required in the
Fairbanks, Anchorage, Juneau and
Ketchikan districts.
The bill also provides that only
a cross-mark, an “X” or a plus
sign placed in the square opposite
the name of the candidate will be
counted. Any other mark would
In the two hours of floor ac
tion which preceded the final vote,
lawmakers beat back all attempts
: at major amendment.
One of the prolonged battles
\ came over an amendment by Rep.
Dora Sweeney which would have
provided for a blanket primary,
rather than the present party pri
mary.
Mrs. Sweeney said that wher
the issue was placed before the
people in 1947, 79 per cent of the
votes cast were in favor of the
blanket primary.
A blanket primary law was
passed, but was repealed in 1959.
“If we do not adopt a blanket
primary, I say we are ignoring a
directive by the people,” Mrs.
Sweeney said.
Rep. John Longworth argued
that under the party primary each
party is able to choose its best
candidate without the danger of
crossover votes by members of
the opposition party who might
vote for the weakest candidate on
the opposition slate.
The amendment failed on a 17
22 count which ziz-zagged across
party lines.
Early attempts to mechanize
agriculture were pretty cumber
some. The first power - driven
plow, built in 1859, weighed eight
tons, cost $10,000, and required a
crew of four farmers. But the
mule quit hee-hawing when the
tractor was invented.

A BIG STEP TO RE-ENLIST
EL CENTRO, Calif. UD — Sailor
Frank Moncreif took a big step
when he re-enlisted — about 6,000
feet.
He stepped out of a plane fly
ing at that altitude yesterday. So
did Chief Warrant Officer Lewis
T. Vinson. As they fell, Moncreif
handed Vinson a baton. In it were
his re-enlistment papers.
At 2,500 feet the men opened
their parachutes and descended I
to a marker on the desert. There
an enlistment officer signed
Moncreif on for six more years.
Moncreif, 30, has been in the
Navy seven years, most of it as
an underwater demolition team
member. He is now assigned to
a Navy parachute exhibition team
at El Centro Naval Air Facility, j
Vinson is the group’s jumpmaster. |
i HOUSE KILLS
! PREFERENTIAL PRIMARY
JUNEAU UP) — A bill which
would permit the voters of Alaska
to express their preference for a
blanket or a party primary elec
tion was killed in the House yes
terday by a vote of 21 to 16.
The measure, HB401, would
have placed the question on the
1962 general election ballot.
The discussion was almost con
tinuation of Monday’s debate in
approving a measure amending
the state’s election code.
Author Rep. Bennie Leonard,
argued that since the inde
pendent and non-party people of
the state have to help pay for
the present party primary elec
tion, they should at least be given
the opportunity of saying whether
they want it or not.
Rep. John Hellenthal argued
that if public opinion wished such
a question to be placed on the
ballot, it should be done in form
of an initiative.
Rep. Bruce Kendall said that
in his opinion it would be a good
issue to place before the people.
With this on the ballot, the type
of primary elections would be
come an issue which people
would study,” Kendall said.
“For example, many people still
hink that under our present
form of party primaries, they
nust declare a political party to
receive a ballot — which is not
xue.”
The measure died on the motion
of Rep. John Longworth to in
definitely postpone action upon it.
