Demos Dust Off 1852 Theme For 1854 Campaign

PHILADELPHIA, R m Demo- crats under the lead of Adlai E.. Stevenson are dusting off for use in 1855 a 1852 campaign theme that the country never had it so good" as when they were in power.
 This idea of prosperity and good times under the Democratic administration wasn't enough last year to overcome Republican cries it was "time for a change" and failed to put Stevenson in the White House.
 How well it and other issues will work for the Democrats now will be tested in next years ballot box battle to snatch control of Congress from COP hands.
 In any event, climbing living costs, economic issues and fear of depression got a heavy accent ing over the weekend at rally of Democrats from II Atlantic Coast states and the District of Colum- bia.
 So did the question of subver- sion and Soviet espionage in gov ernment, with Stevenson putting in an appeal to the country to quit raking over ashes of the past and get on with combating the inter

Alaska Land Commissioner And Attorney General Don't Agree On
 Need Of Filing Land Registration

ANCHORAGE R-Alaska's land commissioner and attorney gener- al don't exactly see eye to eye on whether the territory's residents should file those land registra- tions required by a 1853 act of the legislature.
 w. A. Chipperfield, the commis- sioner, said Friday foreclosure or $5 liens for failure to file are un- likely.
 J.Gerald Williams, Alaska's le- gal eagle, said he did not concur. "I wouldn't bind the territory to that" Williams remarked when told of Chipperfield's views.
 It was Williams declaration of property ownership, filed last week in the U. commissioners office, which touched off scram- ble on the part of property owners to comply with the law before the Dec. 31 deadline.
 Office hours have been exten- ded by Chipperfield in an effort to accommodate the property owners scurrying to get under the wire ahead of the $5 liability. If they don't file a sworn statement of ownership of land by July 1, the property is subject to fore closure and sale.
 An attempt by the city of An chorage to relieve city residents of the filing requirement met with failure. The city said it would turn over to the commissioners office it's entire tax list. Williams said that wouldn't be legal since each owner must personally swear to the correctness of the owner ship statement.
 Although the intent of the law is good," Chipperfield said, "its purpose is to great extent full filled by registration records maintained by various US. com missioners and by cities, school districts, public utility districts and tax assessors"
 He said he will recommend to the next legislature that the filing requirement. be eliminated entire ly for all property owners within cities or tax districts.
