Employment Security
For State Employes Is
Up for Further Study
JUNEAU W —- A bill which
would extend employment security
coverage to state employes was
reported out of the House Labor
and Management Committee to
day without recommendation by
the majority of the committee
members.
Only one member, Rep. Mike
Gravel, (D-Anch.), signed a rec
ommendation that the bill “do
pass.”
Those signing “no recommenda
tion” were Reps. Cashel, Wiggins,
Sanders, Ditman and committee
chairman Bennie Leonard.
The bill, which was introduced
by the Rules Committee at the
request of Gov. Wm. Egan, was
sent along to the Finance Commit
tee for its consideration.
Sen. Vance Phillips joined in
debate against the bill.
The American housewife is one
of the world’s best financial man
agers. Although she handles 80 per
cent of family expenditures, she
spends only about $7 a week on
herself.

Just Wanted to Get Out
WICHITA, Kan. UD — Police
chief E. M. Pond, strolling about
an arena of caged animals at a
circus Friday, noticed a huge paw
gently raising the vertical gate
on a lion’s cage.
He grabbed the top of the gate
to hold it down and yelled for
help. The lion dropped the gate
and moved back in the cage.
But as Pond held the gate wait
ing for help, the lion reached out
again.
The gate—and Pond—was slow
ly raised by the beast.
The chief yelled again, the lion
withdrew again, and help quickly
arrived.
A worker sat on the gate while
others repaired a lock to keep it
closed.
WHITE HOUSE BOMB
SHELTER IS MODERNIZED
WASHINGTON — The White
House bomb shelter is being mod
ernized. The cost is estimated at
about $500,000.
Andrew Hatcher, assistant press
secretary, confirmed Wednesday
that the work of modernizing the
bomb shelter to include a modern
communications system is well
underway.
The underground shelter was
first built during World War II
when Franklin D. Roosevelt was
President. It was improved during
the administration of Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
GOP Chairman MiHer
Say Republican President
Will Be Inaugurated In ’65
WASHINGTON UP! — GOP Na
tional Chairman Wm. Miller said
Saturday a Republican President
will be inaugurated in 1965, but
“I can only hope and pray there
will be something left to salvage
from the wreckage of our economy
and our foreign affairs.”
Miller, a congressman from New
York, said in remarks prepared
for a luncheon meeting of Repub
lican state chairmen, “the tide is
moving our way.”
And the state chairmen, who
gathered here to work on organ
izing problems and techniques,
seemed far more optimistic than
the downcast GOP group that
gathered here last December for
a post-mortem on last fall’s elec
tions.
But Ohio State chairman Ray
Bliss sounded a warning.
“When the Democrats score a
sweep at the national level, it is
usually a depth victory,” he said.
“But when we register a Republi
can sweep—such as the Presi
dential triumph in 1956 — we
achieve only a surface victory.
“We must concentrate on or
ganization so that we can develop
Republican victories in depth.”
Miller scored the Kennedy ad
ministration’s handling of Cuba,
foreign affairs and taxes, declar
ing, “the desperate inprovisations
of the Kennedy government on
every front are frightening to be
hold.”
Cosmic Ray Shower
Over New Mexico
WASHINGTON W — A tiny in
vader from distant space crashed
into earth’s atmosphere last month
and set off a cosmic ray shower
over New Mexico.
The super-powered visitor was
only the nucleus of an atom, but
physicists declared its energy was
so great it must have traveled from
some distant galaxy beyond the
Milky Way.
Physicists reporting in the cur
rent issue of Physical Review
Letters reasoned it must have
come from a much more active
galaxy than our own because of
its enormous power.
When it banged into the earth’s
air blanket, it struck the nucleus
of an atom of the air, and the
resulting atomic debris grew by a
kind of chain reaction into a
shower of high speed atomic par
ticles.
The shower, which lasted only
an instant, covered several square
miles at the volcano ranch record
ing station near Albuquerque.
One-Day Fishing License
JUNEAU — A bill providing
for a one-day visitor’s sport fish
ing license, at a cost of $1.00, was
introduced in the House Friday.
The measure would also create
a 10-day sport fishing license
which would cost $5.00.
The bill was sponsored by Reps.
Earl Hillstrand, Morgan Reed, Ray
mond Christiansen, Axel Johnson,
and Clem Tillion.

Quick Action of
Doctors Restores Life
Of Dead Woman
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. UP> —
Mrs. Nancy Martinez died last
week, for all practical purposes,
because a gadget that artificially
stimulates her heart quit working.
But Mrs. Martinez, 27, was lucky
enough to be in a doctor’s office
at the time, and quick action saved
her life.
Mrs. Martinez, of Santa Fe, N.M.,
found out about a year ago she
had a hole in her heart that need
ed closing. At the time she was
so weak she couldn’t sweep her
kitchen floor, or play with her 9
year-old son Johnny.
Doctors at the Denver hospital
closed the hole and, in October,
inserted a battery-powered device,
called a Pacemaker, into the ab
dominal wall to stimulate the
heart beat.
But the Pacemaker, about the
size of a cigarette pack, stopped
working last Tuesday while Mrs.
Martinez was in a doctor’s office in
Santa Fe, to find out why she had
been having fainting spells.
The doctors saw blips on a car
diograph machine gradually fall.
“For all practical purposes she
died while taking the cardio
graph,” the doctor said. “We used
cardiac massage, and another doc
tor used mouth-to-mouth breath
ing to keep her alive.”
She was taken to Santa Fe’s St.
Vincent Hospital, where an exter
nal Pacemaker was attached. Then
she was brought to an Albuquer
que hospital.
The doctors were at loss to ex
plain why her Pacemaker, which
should have lasted five years, quit
working.
A century ago the average man
in this country worked 70 hours a
week. Today he works from 39 to
40 hours—with time off for “coffee
breaks.”
