WOMEN SKIERS IN
RUNS, SUN VALLEY
By ARNOLD CLAASSEN
SUN VALLEY, Idaho. March 12
Wi—How good a skier is Sally Neid
linger of Hanover, N. H„ who swept
all three Olympic trial titles? How
good is Katy Rodolph of Hayden
Colo., who dominated the National:
10 days ago?
In the opinion of Mrs. Alice Kiaer
of New' York, chairman of the Wo
men’s Olympic Ski Committee, each
is as good right now as Gretehen
Fraser was the year before she
brought the U. S. its first Olympic
skiing gold medal in the 1948 game:
at St. Moritz, Switzerland.
The outlook in the men’s division
isn’t as clear cut, even if there were
no military draft. Jack Reddish of
Salt Lake City won the Olympic
trial downhill and placed second in
the slalom over the weekend to gain
the combined crown.
HUNTLEY FOR MARSHAL
Walter Huntley of Palmer, now
in Juneau serving as Senator from
the Third Division, appears to have
the edge of a field of candidates for
appointment as U, S. marshal of
the Third Division, according to
the Anchorage Times in an article
under an eight column two line
banner line. The appointment may
be forthcoming after the Legislature
adjourns, says the Times.
SEN. MAGNt’SON COMING
Senator Warren Magnuson of
Washington will speak at a Jef
ferson-Jackson Day dinner in Anch
orage on April 3 or 4, w'hile on his
way to Japan.
Noted Artists Here Thursday
Virginia Davis, (picture above) America’s foremost troubador
in tlie feminine realm, will appear at the 20th Century Theatre Thurs
day night, in the last of the Alaska Music Trail concert series this
season sponsored by the Juneau-Douglas Concert Association, t ir
ginia Davis has often been called, “The Kuth Draper of Folksong,”
as she brings to life the many amusin . and serious characters who.;e
story she so fascinating tells her audience.
Gwendolyn Williams, pianist and accompanist, is also noted, hav
ing played for Metropolitan Opera stars and others on their concert

FIRST OMS K'S
SENATORS’ BILLS
ARE SIDETRACKED
(Continued from Page One)
also opposed the reduced licenses.
He took the witness stand to ex
press the opinion that $10 is too
cheap, “if a boat wants to sell in
Alaska, it will do it with the $50
license.” He said Ketchikan might
be hurt some by it, then added in
response to a question: “I’m in
favor of $250.’’
Senator Garnick cited the big in
come from non-resident fishermen’s
licenses, but the bill sponsors con
tended most of it came from fish
ermen working the inside waters.
The other bill passed by the Sen
ate would eliminate the administra
tion of oaths to persons signing re
call petitions. It would make the
signing of a petition by an unquali
fied person a misdemeanor, as a
substitute for the oath.
ENTERTAINMENT FOR
SKI TOURNAMENT TO
be planned by club
A meeting has been called for all
members of the Juneau Ski Club for
Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.. in the Game
Room at Irving’s Wiling Ding. All
members are urgently requested to
attend as plans for the coming in
vitational tournament will be made,
as well as plans for a gala banquet
to be given Sunday evening.
It is hoped that plans for having
a barbecue will be accepted, with
charcoal-grilled fresh beef from
Chicago, baked potato, and a fancy
salad. It is anticipated that the
Ski Club may take over the Whing
Ding on that night. If this is the
case, the public may be invited to
share the banquet, at a price per
plate. Final decision in this will
rest with the club, of course, but
announcement will be made soon.

SITKA BIDS FOR
BB TOURNAMENT;
LIONS ARGUMENT
Shall the Juneau Lions Club give
i the Gold Medal Basketball Tourna
■ nient to Sitka for 1952, due to lack
of facilities to handle it in Juneau?
That was the question discussed
with great feeling pro and con in an
j overtime meeting of the Juneau
i Uons Club this noon at the Bar
anof hotel. The matter was brought
to a head upon receipt of a letter
, !rom Charles Kidd of the Sitka
Lions Club requesting the tourna
ment in alternate years. Kidd out
lined the greater facilities for hand
ling the tournament there. Action
taken at a board meeting recom
mended that Sitka have the tourna
I ment on a trial basis for nest year
only.
Clarence Warfield expressed the
opinion that Juneau should not give
the tournament away since it had
been started by the Juneau Lions
Club and eventually adequate fa
cilities will be built here. George
Danner pointed out that once the
tourney is permitted to go to an
other town, it will be hard to get ii
back.
A1 Ransome said that the future
ol basketball should be considered
and if Juneau co'dd not
tournament, the Juneau club should
not be selfish in retaining it. i c
Chester reminded the Lions that
the tournament had made Juneau
the basketball center of Southeast
Alaska and it was up to the school
board, the city and the businessmen
cf Juneau to get together if they
want the tournament to continue tc
be held in Juneau.
Arc Hedges pointed out that the
only progress made tow vrd mere
adequate facilities for accommo
dating the. tournament had bed'
made by the Lions Club in raising
nearly $1,000 toward a gymnasium.
The matter was finally tabled un
til next Monday meeting.
It was announced that the club
would spend up to $103 toward a
basketball scoreboard for Douglas.
A member of the Arcada, Calif
Lions Club attended the funeral of
Juneau Lion Floyd Fagerscn on be
half of the Juneau Club, president
Jerry Williams told the club.
Visitors were Gene Norton and
Herb Rowland of Juneau.
NOTED WOMAN BOWLER

tee takes great pleasure in bring

WOMAN IS SHOT
DURING QUARREL
WITH COMPANION
Julia Milton is in the Govern
ment hospital with a bullet wound
in her abdomen said to be inflicted
by her from a revolver following an
alleged altercation with a compan
ion, John Dicker, about 4 o'clock
Sunday afternoon ip one of the
Martin cabins located on the hill
side between lower Franklin street
and Gastineau avenue.
Her condition early this afternoon
was reported to be satisfactory al
though it is too early to determine
whether she is entirely out of dan
ger, according to the physician in
charge. The wound is high in the
abdomen. Authorities said the shot
was fired from a long barrel Smith
& Wesson .22 calibre revolver on a
33 frame. There were powder burn,
and blood on the slip she was
wearing over a pair of shorts, said
to be her only articles of apparel
when officials arrived at the scene.
Dr. John Clements and Dr. W.
P. Blanton were both called to the
cabin where the shooting occurred.
The city police were summoned to
the scene and took the woman to
he Government hospital where she
was admitted at 5 o’clock.
Both Eiekcr and the Milton wo
man told oxtifial., that in the cour-e
of a quarrel between them she had
threatened to shoot him and that
he had handed her a loaded revolver
and told her to “go ahead.” The
Milton woman, they both said, then
turned the revolver on herself and
fired the bullet into her own body.
Another man, Lawrence Frank,
who was in the cabin said that at
the time the shot was fired he was
in another room preparing a meal
and had not witnessed the shooting.
