Giant Keeps Sub-Freezing Vigil
To Get His Name First on Ballot
By ROBERT ZIMMERMAN
Santa Fe, N. M., March 9 (U.R) Ingram Pickett got up this
morning, stretched his seven-foot frame, and gave this statement
to newsmen between yawns:
"I'm not going to be frozen out."
Then he got back in his easy chair on the steps of the state
capitol, nestled down in nls
quilt and old army blanket, and
said:
"I'm , not going to budge,
either."
And so the towering member
of the New Mexico corporation
commission ended the first 24
hours of his sub-freezing vigil
just outside the door of the sec
retary of state's office.
' Pickett wants to make sure he
Is the first to register as a candi
date for governor. If he is the
first, he may get the choice spot
on the ballot, at the top of the
list of candidates.
He has four weeks to wait,
and there's a possibility no"'
that his frosty encampment will
be useless.
Secretary of State Alicia Rom
ero, beseiged by other candidates
tvho also want the favorable posi
tion on the ballot, said she
might list candidates alphabeti
cally instead of "first-come-lirst-scrved"
as she has In the
fast.
However, she said she would
announce her Etand definitely at
a later date. Her statement was
enough to discourage three
other candidates who spent the
day outside her door They went
home, but Pickett stayed on.
"I'm not going to be squeezed
out," he declared.
But he fudged just a trifle
during the night, as the mercury
dipped down toward the 20
degree mark.
He gave up his battered arm
chair for a few hour? to his 24-year-old
son, Ingram Pickett,
Jr., while he went home to get
some hot coffee and a brief nap
In his own bed. He was back at
his post at 6 a. m.
Yesterday, the younger Pick
ett and friends relieved him
briefly so he could go home and
get a bite to eat.
The 52-ycar-old Pickett, who
used to be an actor in the silent
movies, was elected to the cor
poration commission two years
ago in a political upset. Since
his election, he has followed
through on his attempts at re
form to give New Mexico a gov
ernment "serving the people."
He has taken pot-shots at high
slate officials, from the governor
on down, and he recently agitat
ed for a grand jury to investi
gate affairs at the capitol. The
same jury only Monday made a
report that scolded Pickett and
other members of the corpora
tion commission for "juvenile
conduct."
"I hadn't planned to run for
governor until 1958," Pickett
said yesterday, when he took up
his stand on the capitol steps.
"But the way things have gone
the past few days I haven't any
choice."
America produces approxi
mately 1,208.000,000 pounds of
cheese a year.
Outboard Motors Don't Scare
Fishf Scientific Tests Show
By RENNIE TAYLOR
San Francisco, March 9 W) Outboard motors don't scare the
fish, says Dr. Karl F. Lagler, University of Michigan zoologist.
Dr. Lagler has the results of a scientific experiment to back
him up.
University of Michigan researchers assigned three mento fish
in a natural lake, six hours a
day for fifl days, Dr. Legler told
the North American wild life
conference yesterday.
Every other day an outboard
motor boat swished past each
fisherman twice every half
hour.
On the alternate days the
boat was withheld. On these
"quiet days the catch by the
three men averaged only one
more fish every ten hours of
fishing than the average catch
when the boat was used.
This liny difference is sc
small it is meaningless, Dr. Lag
ler said. That much variation
could have occurred if all the
days were "quiet."
Also, the outboard did not in
terfere with fish reproduction

Alaska and Hawaii Have Moved
One Step Nearer Statehood
By JAMES MARLOW
Washington, March 9 W) Alaska and Hawaii have moved a
step nearer statehood. That doesn't mean they'll get it, at least
this year.
In a week's time the house has okayed statehood for both of
them. Unless the senate also approves, and It may not, the
5.he house action means nothing.
CANADA PUZZLED: Ncxt year there'll be a new
wHgicaa. nuu, in a new con
gress, what either house did in
previous congress doesn't
count.
In that case, the two territor
ies will have to start from
scratch again. Both have been
seeking statehood a long time.
Here's the story on both.
The U.S. bought Alaska from
Russia in 1867 for $7,200,000. It
wasn't allowed to become a ter
ritory until 1912.
A territory can elect its own
legislature but the president ap
points the governor.
Alaska and Hawaii are each
allowed one delegate in congress.
But he can t vote, even when
congress is passing laws affect
ing his territory.
The people in a territory pay
all the federal taxes but, al
though they're U.S. citizens,
they can't vote in a national election.
The U.S. annexed Hawaii,
which was then a republic, in
1898 and made it a territory in
1900.
Alaska, twice the size of
Texas with its 585,000 square
miles, has a population of about
100,000 people, which is more
than many of the present states
had when they were admitted
to the union.
Hawaii, made up of seven Is
lands with an area of about 6,400
square miles, has a population
of 540,000, of which 86 per cent
are U.S. citizens.
Hawaii's principal Industries
are sugar, pineapples, cattle,
dairy products, truck crops, fish,
coffee. Alaska's chief industries
are furs, lumber, mining, fishing.
The people In both territories
have voted In favor of statehood.
Congressional committees have
Investigated the problem. The
democratic and republican par
ties have promised statehood
for both territories in their party
platforms. The President ap
proves.
Real pressure to get the Job
done began in the middle 1930's.
First real action came in 1947.
In that year the house voted to
let Hawaii come in. The senate
has never voted. So nothing
happened.
This year the house now has
voted for Hawaii again and, for
the first time, for Alaska, too.
The people in both territories
argue along similar lines:
They've more than served their
apprenticeship as territories.
They're both mature in the ex
perience of running their' ter
ritorial affairs, but, nevertheless,
congress really runs them, and
makes laws for them. Yet, the
people In those territories have
no voice In shaping those laws.
Although the residents of the
territories have to pay federal
taxes, they don't receive the full
benefit from federal laws that
states get. In short, both say
they no longer want to be con
sidered colonies.
In addition, they argue that
statehood would strengthen this
country s hand in the Pacific.
Hawaii is 2,000 miles out in the
Pacific from California. Alas
ka is separated from Russia by
only 56 miles of water.
Fowl cholera killed more than
38,000 ducks wintering in the
Texas Panhandle in 1947-'48.
Mystery Cycle
Of Abundance
By RENNIE TAYLOR
(Ajjoclitted Preu Science Reoortcrl
San Francisco, March 9 W)
Canada has a mysterious 10-
year cycle of abundance among
many species of birds and ani
mals which may be due to some
unexplained force in the atmos
phere, William Rowan, of the
University of Alberta, reported
today.
About every ten years the
number of snowshoe hares,
grouse and many other kinds of
birds and animals reaches a
peak. Then it declines slowly
for a few years, finally begins
to rise and reaches another crest
in about a decade from the last
previous top.
The process has retained this
pace for 200 years. Rowan said
in a paper for delivery before
the North America Wild Life
conference.
There is as yet no acceptable
explanation for this "most curi
ous wildlife enigma on the continent."
Rowan said factual informa
tion soon to be published sug
gests the cycle must hinge on
some similar 10-year cycle of
force "in the atmosphere or up
per atmosphere."
The Dominion is on the verge
of another peak of abundance.
Further attempts to find an ex
planation for the phenomenon
will be made.
The declining phase of the
cycle probably will begin in
about 1952, Rowan said.
School Consolidation
Plan Before Hubbard
Hubbard A vote on the pro
posed consolidation of the Hub
bard and White school districts
has been set for Monday, March
13, by the county district bound
ary board. The election will be
held at both the Hubbard and
WMte school buildings. Peti
tions seeking the consolidation
have been filed by both districts.
The White area has approxi
mately 30 school-age children,
In two ponds near Wolf Lake,
Mich., the outboard boating
club of America and the Michi
gan conservation department
made a test. The ponds were
drained, cleared of fish, refilled
and planted with young bluegill
and large-mouth black bass.
On one of the ponds an out
board motor boat spent two or
three hours daily during the
summer stirring up the water.
Each pond produced between
72,000 and 73,000 bluegill per
acre. The number of bass
covered from the motor-stirred
pond was slightly higher than
from the other pond.

West Coast Opium
Ring Hit in Raid
Los Angeles, March 9 (U.R)
Three men were arrested and
$50,000 worth of opium seized
as officers struck today at what
they termed a large narcotic
supply ring on the west coast.
Foster Rowland, 23, El Paso,
Tex., Abraham Cavazos, 31,
proprietor of the Two-by-Four
club in Juarez, Mex., and Leo
nardo Vasquez, 28, jewelry
store owner of Juarez, were
booked on suspicion of violat
ing the state narcotics act.
William J. Craig, .chief of the
federal narcotics bureau here,
said Rowlan was the carrier of
the narcotics. Nineteen cans of
opium were found in his hotel
room.
Rowlan came to Los Angeles
from El Paso carrying the drug
for the two dealers, Vacazos and
Vasquez, Craig said. The latter
two walked into a police trap
when they stopped at Rowlan's
hotel room to pick up the nar
cotics, officers said.
Craig claimed Cavazos and
Vesquez were the "chief sup
pliers" of opium on the west
coast, and the two operated In
Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The opium was grown and pre
pared in Chihuahua, Mex.

Hermann Johann (Hans)
Hauser, a ski instructor at Sun
Valley, Ida., and Aspen Colo.,
met the reporters and photo
graphers at the Ambassador

as from Beverly Hills, Calli, But
he did not say she was the Vir

Benjamin (Bugsy) Slegel, who
was slain in Miss Hill's Beverly
Hills home in 1947.
Reporters asked Hauser If he
knew his wife was "internation

"Oh, yes, lots of publicity she
has had."
We met at Sun Valley eight
weeks ago," the Sun-Times quot
ed Hauser. "I was her ski In
