Adding weight to the violence

Montgomery Suicide
Likely 70 Be Blamed
Solely Loneliness

The House subcommittee IN
quiring into the death Of John
C. Montgomery, State Depart
ment employee. probably will
conclude its study this week in
full agreement that the tragedy
was the suicide Of q lonely man
and nothing more.
Representative Brownson, Re-
publican, Of Indiana. head Of the
Government Operations Sub
committee assigned to review
the case, said last night he is
pretty well satisfied with subs
mitted reports.

From q quick reading Of that

Chairman Brownson had said
the Police Department report
submitted earlier and supple
mented by a statement from the
District coroner, was q an ex-
cellent job"
The unclad body Of Mr.. Mont

reaction to the problem and how
it can be met.
It will hold evening meetings
Of representatives Of civic or
CARNATIONS, institutions and
agencies and interested residents
of the neighborhoods.
Report Planned for May.
During April the committee
will summarize the findings with
the hope Of reporting to the
UCS annual Health and Welfare
Conference on May %.
1.-The next step might well be
the organization of a much
larger and more inclusive citi-
zens' committee, charged with
taking whatever action the re-
port may recommend" DR.. Tu-
lane added.
The Rev. Richard williams OF
the Episcopal Diocese Of Wash
ington and chairman Of the
Juvenile Court Committee, said
Juvenile Judge Edith Cockrill
has assured UCS she would fur
nish Informative statistics.
The trustees also accepted q
report of the UCS Evaluation
Committee, recommending abon-
ton Of the 215-member General
Assembly of the organization
which proved to be unwieldly
and served no significant pur-
pose
This would not be done until
the UCS annual meeting Of May
%, however. Since there was
not the required majority pres
ent at yesterdays meeting in the
YWCA. the vote must be supple
mented in writing.
The Board of Trustees, under
the proposal. would then be in
creased from ZIG to 227 members
by adding to the number Of pro-
fessional staff members on the
board.

Third is now is shorsighed to the fact that Alaska

be centered in Anchorage right now but removing the

The legislators Of Anchorage (mostly Republican,
backing this idea state that the backlog is appalling
If they can't take Of their division now what
would they do with cases on their docket from
far away places in the Second Division? Also, what
justice would there be in expecting the residents Of
the far flung Second Division to travel at great added
expense to Anchorage, which now has more problems
than take Of Jurors would have to travel
long way from home in order to fulfil their duties,
making added expense for the Justice Department.
We urge the Republicans Of this division who are
meeting tonight to educate their fellow Republicans
in Anchorage who to have vision of the future
of the territory other than their small area to the
needs of this division.
The territory needs not only judge but
two and before long may need divisions, not
fewer.
