Dick Tiger a 2-1
Favorite Over Fullmer
In Saturday’s Fight
LAS VEGAS WP> — Rugged spar
ring drills were over for champion
Dick Tiger and former champion
Gene Fullmer as the betting odds
favoring Tiger continued to drop
for their world middleweight title
bout Saturday night.
Tiger, 33, opened a 7-1 favorite
when the rematch of their San
Francisco fight last October was
announced. This didn’t last long
and the price dropped to 4-1. Now
the Nigerian is no better than 2-1
as more Fullmer backers appear,
hoping Gene will win the cham
pionship for the third time in his
long career.
The change in odds apparently
was based on the fact that Full
mer has been the more impressive
in his ring preparations.
Veteran boxing observers were
quick to point out, however, that
in many cases gym performances
mean little if anything.
Wonders Out Loud
KETCHIKAN Uf) — Ketchikan’s
city attorney, E. E. Bailey, wonders
whether the people in the Alaska
Adjutant General’s Office can read
and write.
He wondered this out loud Wed
nesday night during a discussion at
a meeting of the City Council.
Bailey said the Commandant of
Alaska’s National Guard has failed
to answer a letter which Bailey
wrote last December inquiring
about a possible lease of land next
to the armory here for use as a
swim pool site.
Bailey said he had not received
an answer from the Adjutant Gen
eral’s Office on the matter.
“I don’t know if those people
up there (Juneau) can’t read or
can’t write,” said Bailey. “I don’t
| Sleeperette Measure
Is Back In Committee
JUNEAU — The Senate re
turned to its Finance Committee
yesterday a bill which would have
appropriated $300,000 for the in
stallation of 34 sleeperettes on each
of the three ferries to be operated
on the Southeast Marine Highway
system.
Sen. Howard Bradshaw, spon
sor of the bill, and chairman of
Senate Finance, said an audit of
ferry operating funds and expected
lapse of funds probably make a
$300,000 appropriation unnecessary.
Bradshaw said it is hoped that
with funds uncovered by the audit,
lapsed funds and an appropriation
of $150,000, the state would be
able to finance the sleeperettes as
well as small rest rooms and
waiting rooms at ferry terminals.
Would Boost Penalties
JUNEAU — A bill boosting
the penalties for persons who drive
a motor vehicle without the con
sent of the owner was introduced
in the Senate by Sen. Lester Bron
son.
The measure makes the viola
tion a felony instead of a misde
meanor, ups the maximum im
prisonment period from one to two
years and increases the maximum
fine from $1,000 to $2,000.
It's For the Birds . . .
NEWPORT, Ark. UP) — For two
days Newport police have been
called to do something about
drunken birds.
The woman caller says six
English sparrows fly into her yard
and eat some red berries, then
begin acting tipsy and fly into
anything in their path.
Police said it is out of their
jurisdiction.

Ballooning Salaries Is
Matter of Concern
To Finance Committee
JUNEAU — Members of the
Senate-House Finance Committee
expressed extreme concern Wed- ,
nesday about what was termed a !
“serious acceleration or balloon
ing” in the salaries of some top
administrators.
The discussion centered primar
ily around a bill approved by the
1962 legislature which added four
new steps to the state pay scale.
Members of the committee
brought out that approximately 55
top state jobs were reclassified into
higher pay steps, resulting in some
cases of salary increase of more
than $3,000.
John Beard, State Director of
Personnel, said the reclassification
was based on a need to eliminate
a compression in salary schedules
for top-level administrative and
professional personnel.
Rep. Harold Strandberg, chair
man of the Joint Committee, com
mented that in his view “there
have been adjustments which do
not seem to be reasonable.”
Beard told the committee the pay
raise given state employes last
year has eased recruitment prob
lems, but Lou Haas of Beard’s
staff said the full impact of the
new federal pay increase on state
recruitment hasn’t been gauged as
yet.
Sen. John Coghill said he didn’t
think it was proper to try and j
relate state salaries to federal
salaries.
“We should be competing with
private industry, not the federal
government,” Coghill said, “and
I some state salaries are already far
above salaries for like work in pri
vate industry.”
Beard replied that state wages
have always been related to fed
eral wages, because of the close
Kissometer Records
“Woweee” Results
MIAMI, Fla. UP> — A trio of
Miami students have devised a
machine that measures the smooch
ing power generated by two people
kissing It’s called the Kissometer.
Its creators, including a bouncy
18-year-old brunette, are having
a lot of fun with trial runs.
“It all depends on the sparkle
inside you,” said Tatiana Prilutchi,
the only female in her electrical
engineering class. “If you feel all
tingling inside, your kiss will show
it.”
The Kissometer is rigged with
flashing lights and ringing bells.
The lowest quality kiss flashes a
sign that says, “Dead Fish.” A
Casanova embrace will register
“Woweee.” The hottest smooching
registers a “Woweee” and clangs
a bell.
“The machine works on scientific
principles,” said Tatiana, of North
Miami Beach. “The couple inside
the booth hold an electronically
charged probe in their hands. It
sends a minute amount of electri
cal current through their bodies.
When their lips meet, the circuit
is completed.”
The rest is up to the couple.

| Doctor Measure
Passes the House
JUNEAU UP — After a three-day
tug-of-war a bill which would per
mit doctors who are citizens of the
■ United Kingdom to practice medi
cine in Alaska passed the House.
Final passage on the measure
came without debate. It was ap
proved 31-8 and sent along to the
Senate for its consideration.
Actually, the bill was passed
once before—but in considerably
different form. When it was first
approved by the lower chamber, it
would have permitted a citizen of
any country to apply to practice
medicine in Alaska, so long as he
had filed his declaration of intent
to become a citizen.
The House put the measure back
into its original form, however, and
gave it the final nod.
Under present law, only citizens
of the United States and Canada
may practice medicine in Alaska.
Tax Refund of $39,486
To 27 Municipalities
JUNEAU UP — A bill appro
priating $39,486 to be refunded to
27 municipalities and one borough
as their share of the coin-operated
devises tax collected within their
boundaries was introduced in the
House at Gov. Wm. Egan’s request.
Nome would receive $856 under
provisions of the measure.
The share of the Bristol Bay
borough was $134.
