UHF band.
The converterS, according to our
best engineering authority, worked
with complete satisfaction. If and
when the UHF band is invaded by
television, of course, there may be
areas where signals won't be good,
as there now are areas where video
reception is poor. This will not
mean the set itself is obsolete.
The thing which would make
obsolete present television re-
ceivers. including those advertised
as readily convertible. would be a
decision to use FM instead of AM
for the video signals. GIN now is
used for the sound portion only of
television broadcasts.) This prob
ably shouldn't even be mentioned
right now, however, since it isn't
likely for several reasons. One is
that the present AM system works
satisfactorily. Another involves
something called spectrum econ
omy":; FM requires a much wider
frequency spread and thus cuts
the number of channels available.
You just shouldn't worry too
much about ultra high frequency,
the engineers say. for all the
highly technical talk being tossed
about.

ANOTHER RACKET

The latest get-rich-quick scheme to sweep the country is new gimmick called Pyramid Club, in which two persons start at the bottom of pyramid and start their way to the top by getting new mem- bers who in turn get more new members, all of whom contribute money for joining which Gin theory) adds up to more than s4CO0 for the first individual to reach the top of the pyramid
 It sounds wonderful Something for nothing. You start by putting only $ and you wind with S40oO
 and nobody gets hurt It sounds very much the same as the old chain-letter racket In fact it is very much same, except that Pyramid Clubs operate on a person. person basis and don't use the mails. And because scheme doesn't the mails the promoters think it's legal.
 Whether it's legal or not, very few persons are going to realize any money out of the Pyramid Club idea and great many persons are going to lose the money they put up to join one of these clubs The whole idea is based mathematical impossiblity. There isn't enough money in the world to make the scheme work It would take 6,77726 persons to keep a Pyramid Club in business for 25 days.

area is most of Mexico and French North America.
 The pact does not call for an automatic declaration of war. Fur thermore, it preserves the structure of the United Nations and provides for consultation under it. Neverthe- less, Article 5, the most important part of this historical treaty, states categorically:
 .'The parties agree that an armed attack upon any one of the sigma tories constitutes an armed attack upon all whether the attack takes place in Europe of North Africa" :"
 Article also states: If such an attack takes place, each will ex- ercise the right of self-defense recognized by international law and each party to the agreement will act under Article 5l of the United Nations Charter to report the at tack to the Security Council and go to the defense of each other"
 An armed attack" it is also stated, means any intrusion on the territory of any nGtlon III Europe or in North America

No Reward
(Fairbanks NeWs-Minerl

In a lawmaking body notable for l9 to majority for party nescapably associated with perpetuation of administration policies and power, it would not be surprising to observe popular penchant for rolling over and voting yes
 It is heartening commentary the House of Representatives of the 18th Alaska Legislature to be able to declare that this is not rigid trusm.
 Despite all dark remarks prompted by legislative lapses tomfooery there in Juneau today men who have demonstrated that they are subservient neither to party nor the oun of power from whence political favor has lately sprung.
 In number they are not many; in influence, they are smaller perhaps, than the personal sacrifice of their reluctance to run with the pack. Their adher- ence to principles they devised for themselves rather than absorbed by factona osmosis is all the more remarkable since visible reward lies at the end of their venture into integrity.
 No reward that is beyond the respect of those who voted them into office
 No more implacably independent legislator has been seen in Juneau for example, than James Nolan, Democrat from Wrangell.
 In company with Amer Rydeen of Nome, Glen Franklin of Fairbanks and Marcus Jensen of Douglas Nolan has proven that it is possible to- stand fast against steamroer strategies of your party
 Frank C. Johnson of Rake, George Miscovich of Fairbanks and Mrs Doris Barnes of Wrangell have yielded their minority votes, likewise, without regard for the origin of legislation.
 It is rarely that these few in agreement a roll call ballot
 Not any one Of them could be set up as invariably right.
 But each has shown that his vote is a product of thought processes rather than conditioned reflex action.
 Such lawmakers a credit to the Territory the people they represent, and themselves

NORTH CAROLINA VS. SOUTH CAROLINA

Sims. a former combat paratroop- CT. didn't seem to need a spokes- man. Looking squarely at Barden of North Carolina, Sims of South Carolina snapped: T have been for strong minimum wage bill from the start. The record will show it. i Even before we started hearings I predicted the bill would pass Con- gress.
 "As a Southerner, I would like to add that higher minimum wages for working people is one of the solutions to economic problems in the South
 Barden unbraided Lesinski for not inviting him to off-the-record
 caucuses on minimum-wage strat- egy.
 T resent your dictatorial atti- tude-the way you're trying to put this legislation over behind our
 backs" Barden challenged "AS ranking majority member ot this committee, I had a right to be call l ed in and told what is going on."
 T phoned your office and your secretary told me you were out of town explained Lesinski. "Yes, I know" retorted the North Carolinian, but you didn't tell my secretary about these caucuses you have been holding. You could have l invited me through him if you
 really wanted to have me present" Later, Barden, an able Congress
 man, apologized for the outburst
 and joined with the committe ma-
 jority in finally voting out the min
 imum wage bill.

bill came to being ambushed in the House Labor Committee. It was finally reported out only alter Chairman John Lesinski Of Mich igan and fellow Democrat Graham Barden of North Carolina ex- changed verbal hand grenades be- hind closed doors.
 The two Democrats who rescued the minimum-wage bill were c. M. Bailey of West Virginia and Hugo Sims of South Carolina. Three other Democrats-John Wood Of Georgia, Wingate Lucas of Texas, and Barden--voted with nine Re- publicans against the 75-cent min imum wage. After it was over, Barden voted with the 13 Demo- crats and one Republican, Brehm of Ohio, in a 15-6 ballot to report the bill. Wood and Lucas still voted no, along with four Republl- cans. Other Republicans vote d present.
 Before the showdown, however, Barden angrily charged Lesinski with trying to buy Congressman Sims vote"
 Il don't know what you mean, shot back Lesinski Were not off, ering concessions to anyone to vote with us. Everyone on this commit tee is entitled to express and vote his views. I haven't attempted to influence the gentleman rom South Carolina"
