Hence, it is still possible for I'M
scrupulous politicians to use race
prejudice as a campaign weapon,

Because of the light Negro vote

Bill Would Create
 "A Districts for House Elections
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, R-A bill to create "A separate districts for the cleo ton of "A members of the Terri torial House of Representatives was introduced Wednesday by two Democrats and two Republi- cans.
 It sets forth specifically that two House members should be elected from inside Ancorarage and one each from Ketchikan, Ju- neau and Fairbanks.
 The other 19' would be elected from specified areas inside each of the four divisions, with each division having the same number as now.4
 The bill sponsors are Represen- tatives Theodore Duffield O- Nome), Wendell Kay D-Anchor- age), Lloyd C. Olsen R-Anchor- age), and Herald Stringer R-An- chorage).
 The proposal would cut down on the number of representatives who are residents of larger cities and specifically allocate seats to outlying areas.
 Areas around major cities would have seats.
 Roughly it proposes these dis tricts with one seat each:
 Second Division - Three seats: Anoatak Kobuk and Fairhaven districts; Cape Nome Recording District divided into two at 64th North Latitude

Estimated 1,5OO Killed In Iran Earthquake

TERRAIN, Iran, R - Reports reaching the Iranian government Friday estimated that about 1,5OO persons were killed yesterday when an earthquake virtually wiped out the village of Torroud, in northeast Iran.
 Fifteen truckloads of soldiers and 16 army jeeps loaded with blankets, medical supplies and food were sent to the distressed area.
 The reports indicated that there were no more than 50 survivors at the most in the village, approx imately 90 miles from Shahrud:
 The quake apparently occurred at noon yesterday. At that time slight tremor was felt in Tehran but no damage was reported.

Former Army Sgt. Provoo Convicted of Treason

NEW YORK, R-Former Army Sgt. John David Provoo was con- victed Wednesday of treason.
 He faces a sentence that could be anything from five years in prison to death for treachery while a prisoner of the Japanese during World War II.
 One of the charges on which Provoo was convicted was that he was at least partly responsible for the death of a fellow prisoner of war, Army Capt. .Burto c. Thom- son, of Sioux City, Iowa. Thom- son was executed by their cap- tors on Corregidor after Provoo, who was in favor with the prison camp commanders, reported him uncooperative and anti-Japanese.

Pan Am Utilizes ''Jet Air Stream" on Pacific Hop

SEATTLE - The longest non- stop commercial airline flight in the world is now being flown ac- ross the central Pacific Ocean by F an American World Airways Stratoclippers.
 The 3,9OO-mile ocean crossing from Tokyo to Honolulu without refueling is made possible by a weather phenomena called 'jet stream winds" These winds are encountered at attitudes of about 23,00O feet. During the winter months they blow steadily from west to east at TO to 30 miles an hour, adding that much to the cruising speed of eastbound air craft operating at high attitudes.
 A series of proving flight over the route, coupled with extensive studies by Pan Am meteorologists during the past two months, have demonstrated that scheduled flights taking advantage of these upper-air 'jet streams" are both safe and practical.
 Pan Am's eastbound Pacific schedules formerly made fuel ing stop at Wake Island. By op- erating nonstop on a more direct path the Stratoclippers shave ' hours from former schedules and a corresponding reduction in over all flight time shows up for the entire trip between the Orient and the Pacific Northwest.
 By a quirk of the international dateline, one trip now arrives in Honolulu eight hours before it leaves Tokyo! The plane departs Tokyo at midnight Tuesdays, crosses the international dateline

Banker Cracks
 Safe in Toughest lob of His Career

Banker Marshall Crutcher of Kodiak made delayed arrival in Juneau for the legislative session after the toughest bank-cracking job of his career.
 It was chore that necessitated drilling through a concrete wall into the main vault, cracking a safe and a four-day drilling job through the four-inch thickness of a hardened steel chest.
 The little town of Homer, on the Kenai Peninsula, was the scene. The Bank of Homer was the institution.
 The head of the Bank of Kodiak related after arrival here how he was summoned to Homer a week ago after the sudden death of Ar thur T. Hewlett, 49-year- old head of the small bank, from heart attack.
 No one could find any trace of where the Homer banker had left any record of the vault or safe combinations.
 Then, as Crutcher related it in explaining his delayed arrival, he got a drilling expert to pierce the concrete wall of the vault from outside-in 10-degree cold. It was a job of an hour or so-a simple matter compared with what was to follow.
 Then the vault cracker poked in with long rod, found the re- lease which is designed to free any bank employe who might get locked in the vault, while some one else worked the vault handle from the outside.
 The safe was next. The combi- nation baffled a 1ocksmith. Then he noted a slight blemish on the safes steel face. It was the 'open sesame" It covered a wooden plug that had been inserted where the safe once had been drilled. That took care of the safe.
 Then came the steel chest atop it, which held the cash of the three-year-old, youngest bank in the territory.
 ''The locksmith got the best steel drill he could find," Crutch- CT explained. He drilled for half an hour with all the pressure he and a helper could apply. The drill grew dull but you could rub a finger over the surface and barely feel a dent in the herdened steel. I came along to Juneau and was advised that he finally drilled through it Wednesday," four days later.
 With a little outside help, the bank carried on throughout the episode.
 Crutcher has been engaged this week in rewriting the four-year- old territorial accountancy law, which he describes as very un- satisfactory. He is head of the Territorial Board of Accountancy.
 He expects to be in Juneau throughout the legislative session as legislative representative for the Alaska Bankers Association.

Negotiators Agree On Truce Line To To Divide Korea

WASHINGTON, LR - United Nations and Communist negotia- tors have agreed on the truce line to divide the armies in Korea after an armistice, it was reported here today.
 The agreement was made under secrecy restrictions covering the truce sessions at Panmunjom at this stage.
 The demarcation line laid out by military staff officers in sev- eral intensive sessions was de- scribed as based upon the present battle line.
 There was no immediate infor- nation, however, as to whether it took into account the impact of the latest Red offensive upon the United Nations position.
 The impression of the officials here was that this Communist as- sault had not made enough real difference in the battle position to materially affect the truce ar engagements.
 The line runs mostly north of the 38th parallel although it drops south of it in the extreme western area.
 The agreement was understood here to have removed the last major item standing in the way of a final, full understanding on a truce.
 Nonetheless, it was indicated that for reasons not fully appar- ent at the moment it may be sev- eral days before final truce agreement is signed.

Lemmings Migrate Into Arctic Ocean At Point Barrow

POINT BARROW, LR - Hun dreds of thousands of Jennings, said to face a 'tstarve or drown" choice, are choosing drowning again in a mass migration into the Arctic Oceans frigid waters.
 The migration started here early this week and the little furry footed rodents with the short tail and odd teeth have been pouring out from shore onto the sea ice in a continual stream since then.
 There is no food on the ice either just death by cold or drowning as they scamper off the floes into the water. Some have been observed as far as 25 miles from shore, still scampering over the sea ice.
 pr. John Buckley, biologist for the University of Alaska in Fair banks, said science can't fully ex- plain the periodic suicide migra- tions of the Jennings in the Arc tic.
 But, he said, When they ex- haust their food, they haven't got much choice. They either starve on land or go out to sea and drown"
 The Jennings feed on roots, and the scarcity of such forage in the bleak Arctic coastline seems to bear out Dr. Buckley's explanation.
 They migrate to their death periodically. The last time was in 1949.
 Jennings are found in the cold, northern extremes of North Am erica and Europe and in both places are noted for their self eliminating migrations.

Wage Dispute Ties Up
 75O Boats On East Coast

NEW YORK, R - A shipping tie-up gripped American vessels in Atlantic and East Coast ports Wednesday in a wage dispute.
 Nothing, but nothing, is nov ing and nothing will move until a contract is signed" said Joseph Curran, president of the CIO Ma tional Maritime Union.
 Foreign vessels are not affected. American ships in foreign ports or on the high seas will be affected only after they reach ports in this country. In all, about 75O vessels are subject to tie up.
 The union, claiming about 10000 members, traditionally fol- lows a mo contract, no work policy. Curran estimated that the stoppage immediately affected 10000 to 24,O0O union members.
