Airman Held for
Murder Receives
Honorable Discharge
MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho W—
Airman Gerald M. Anderon, who
spent almost 10 months in jail for
a murder he said he didn’t com
mit, received an early discharge
from the Air Force Wednesday.
The 25-year-old Californian said
he was relieved to give up his
“Airman” title for a “mister . . .
hey you ... or anything else.” He
had requested the discharge.
The honorable discharge was
granted under a regulation that
reads, “for the best interests of
the government.”*
Anderson’s attorney, Robert Me
laughlin, said Anderson is consider
ing a damage suit against the gov
ernment for his long confinement.
Anderson left here and indicated
he was going to visit his wife and
three daughters in Ogden, Utah.
He was released from the Moun
tain Home Air Base stockade Tues
day. He was held for the knife
slaying of Mrs. Nancy J. Johnson,
22, and her 2-year-old son, Danny,
here last April. Mrs. Johnson was
raped.
The Air Force rearrested Ander
son in November after civil au
thorities accept the confession of
another man and released Ander
son from jail.
In rearresting Anderson, the Air
Force questioned the statement of
Theodore Thomas Dickie, 22, who
admitted the crime.
15-YEAR-OLD GIRL SETS
WOMEN'S HURDLE RECORD
Frederick, Md. — At a minor
indoor track meet in Baltimore last
Saturday, a 15-year-old school girl
competed in the women’s 50-vard
low hurdles.
Tammy Davis, who stands 5-foot
3 and weighs 113, ran in rubber
soled cross-country shoes on a
slick, waxed floor covered with
dust. Skimming effortlessly over
hurdles higher than her waist, she
won the event in 6.8 seconds.
Her victory didn’t generate much
enthusiasm at the lightly-attended
meet until is was later discovered
that her time was a national
women’s indoor record.

Defense Dept.
Seeks Permission
To Sell ACS
WASHINGTON W — The De
fense Department is asking Con
gress for permission to sell the fed
erally owned and operated Alaska
Communications System (ACS).
Sale of the vast network has
often been proposed since its estab
lishment by the Army Signal Corps
in 1900 but Congress has always
declined to give the go-ahead for
such a transaction.
The cost of facilities in the long
lines system was estimated at $200
million in July 1961. There is no
current estimate of what might be
realized from sale of the system.
Sen. E. L. Bartlett a member of
the Armed Services Committee,
said the department’s proposal is
outlined in a draft bill sent to
Congress this week. It is identical
to the one introduced in the House
in 1959 but on which no action was
taken.
The bill would authorize dis
posal of the system by negotiation
without a call for bids. It con
tains several provisions designed
to assure continued service for pre
sent system users.
Before negotiation with any com
pany, all U.S. common carrier firms
would be canvassed to determine
those interested in buying the
transfer contract would be re
viewed by the Attorney General
before consumation.
The department, in a letter dis
cussing the draft bill, said federal
ownership and operation “is no
longer deemed necessary or desir
able” and that transfer of the
system would allow development
of a communications setup “more
responsive to the growing needs of
the people” of Alaska.
If the proposed bill is approved
and the system sold, “the over-all
cost to the government for com
munications services to and with
in Alaska should be no greater than
at present,” the department said.
Private industry has been re
luctant to enter the long-lines
communication field in Alaska be
cause of the large investment need
ed and the small return potential,
the department said, adding:
“However, the development of
Alaska has now progressed to a
point where the operation of an in
tegrated communication system
would appear to be financially at
tractive to private enterprise.”

i \o Incidents Reported
\t Clemson College Where
\e"»*o Gantt Enrolled
CLEMSON, S.C. UPl — Clemson
College officials said Thursday
there were no incidents in the
college cafeteria as Negro Harvey
Gnatt had his evening meal Wed
nesday.
Dean of students Walter Cox said
there were absolutely no problems
in the dining hall. He called un
true reports that a group of white
students clustered about Gnatt’s
table.
Other sources said when the
group of students moved near
Gnatt, Cox stepped in and the
group quickly dispersed. There
was only quiet, muffled laughter,
according to the reports.
Cox said a foreign student ate
with Gantt, 20.
Gantt arrived in Clemson Mon
day. He is the first Negro to enroll
in a public school in South Caro
lina with white students since re
construction days. A federal court
ordered Gantt admitted to Clemson
pending outcome of an appeal to
the U.S. Supreme Court.
Of all employed Americans, 68
per cent drive to and from their
jobs by car.

j Alaskans Warned On
Purchasing Insurance
The Division of Insurance wishes
to point out that it can be of only
limited assistance to those persons
who purchase insurance from com
panies not licensed to do business
in Alaska. The division strongly
recommends that insurance be
purchased from one of the many
companies licensed by the state.
In the event of a contested claim
with an unlicensed company, suit
would have to be filed in the
courts of the state where the co n
pany is domiciled and not in the
courts of this state.
Should Alaskans have any doubts
as to a company’s status, or that
of an individual representing him
self as an agent, they may contact
the Division of Insurance, Dept,
of Commerce, Alaska Office Bldg.,
Juneau, prior to the purchase of a
policy.
