EDITORIAL
FEB 1st, LAST DAY TO FILE

Filings for the primary cleo tionS to be held April 30th will close February 1st. Filings may be made on February l and that leaves only three more days, so public-spirited citizens are urg- ed to get busy and get their nam eS on the dotted line.
 Every two years party primar ies are conducted in Alaska, be- tween the Republican and Dem ocratic organizations. It is also true that persons filing as in- dependent candidates must file on or before February 1.
 The purpose of the primaries is to nominate party candidates who will oppose each other in the general elections held in the fall of the year on even-number ed years. The winners in the general election then assume their positions.
 AS a citizen of the United Stat es, the people of this country have the right to file for public office and the right to vote with out coercion. It is the duty of every qualified citizen to utilize that right-a power which few countries allow their citizens to- day.

Former EICen+ro
Special Officer
Gets leniency

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13
Especially = Federal Judge
Ralph E. Jenney today re-
duced the sentence of Raul
Mateus, one of five valley
residents convicted last week in
the conspiracy kidnapping of H
Yamatoda, Japanese gaming king
pin, from five to 81 years in federal
prison.
Mateus, former special officer
and defendant with j. Sterling Os-
walt, former Ell Centre police chief,
and four others, was granted a
lighter sentence after Judge Jenney
had reportedly conferred with fed
eral officials.
Mateus, according to Assistant
U. s. ttorney Harold Shire, had
aided the federal government in
trailing criminals across the Mex
ican border on several occasions,
and for that reason received a
lighter sentence.
Convicted with Mateus were K.
Sonoda, SetSuzo Ota. M. Yuge
Richard Yoshida. The federal Jury
failed to agree on a verdict in Os-
waits case.
Attorney Shire declared that Ma
teus, Ota, Sonoda and Yuge, all
aliens, would be deported to their
native lands imediately after they
have served their terms in federal
prison. In federal penitentiary,
prisoners terms are reduced from
one-sixth to one-third time off for
good behaviour.
Shire indicated retrial of Oswalt
was certain but that motion for
retrial must come from Washing
ton on advice from the Attorney
General.
Meanwhile defense attorney Ed
Hervey was arranging bond for Ma
teus and Yoshida after having
filed motion for appeal of their
cases in the Ninth Circuit Court OF
Appeals.
Hervey had previously asked for
a six months continuance in the
case of Oswalt in order. that he
might devote time to arranging for
the appeal of verdicts against Ma
teus and Yoshida. Judge Jenney re-
fused the request, however, pointing
out that the appellate court would
grant all the time necessary to de.
fend OSwalt in a retrial
