BrowneII Sees Order
Balancing Needs Of
Secrecy and Press

Attorney General Brownell to-
day said he was confident a
forthcoming executive order
would attain the proper balance
between the needs of secrecy in
defense matters and the needs
of a free press.
Addressing the convention of
the Radio-Television News Di-
rectors' Association, Mr.. Brownell
discussed details of his recon-
mendations to President EiSen-
hover on handling Government
secrets.
He declared: "I feel confident
in predicting that. when the
final executive order Is issued by
President Eisenhower, it will be
recognized as having attained the
required delicate balance between
the need to protect certain kinds
of information and the need for
keeping the citizens of a democ-
racy as fully informed as pos
sihle concerning what their Gov
ernment is doing"
Urges Cooperation.
Mr.. Brownell urged all groups
concerned with freedom of in
formation "to seek out and OPP
pose any operation of Govern
ment, which causes information
to be withheld unnecessarily"
He added:
by this kind of cooperative
effort, we can demonstrate to
all the world the vivid contrast
between our system of Govern
ment, which believes in and en-
courages freedom of the press
and all media of information,
and the Communist system of
tyrannical government to which
the concept of freedom of in
formation is anathema."
Last June, President EiSen-
hover made public a draft of a
proposed executive order entitled
Safeguarding Official Informa-
ton in the Interest of the De-
fense Of the United States" He
invited suggestions and Mr..
Brownell was designated the
clearing house.
Mr. Brownell said among his
recommendations was one to
eliminate the restricted" clasSi-
fication of Government docu-
ments because it has become a
huge catch-all." This is the
lowest of the four classi1cationS.
CriticizeS Truman Order.
He also has recommended
taking the authority to classify
documents away from a number
of agencies; giving the author
ity to agency heads only in
others, and setting up a system
for reviewing classified docu-
ments so they may be declassified
when possible.
Mr.. Brownell said the present
executive order, issued by Pres
ident Truman in 1851, failed to
attain the proper balance.

Seward seaport record., 1953-01-09
EdifcrioI

One of the most encouraging indications of progressive think ing in Seward is the attendance of the Mayor, president of the Chamber of Commerce and a businessman at the Juneau con ference of the All Alaska Cham Der of Commerce preceding op- ening of Legislature. While there, the Mayors will hold sep arate meetings and the League of Cities will enter into the dis cussions. The past year has been the first to see a concerted and coordinated effort of all Alas kan cities toward good general legislation.
 One of the questions upper most in the minds of municipali- ties is a better definition of Taxpayer for the purpose of elections involving expenditures of large sums of public money. Most Alaskan cities levy tax on personal property as well as real property. According to Ter ritorial law, any person whose name is on the tax roll and who qualities in point of citizenship and residence, may vote on bond elections.
 With the increase of city bond ing in the past two years, due to Alaska Public Works partici- patton in construction of public permanent improvements, the question of voting propriety has arisen everywhere. A great many arguments are heard on the right of non-property owners to vote in a general obligation bond election. Attorney General Gerald Williams has declined to give an opinion on the issue, which still leaves it for Legisla- tive action.
 The law states that only taxpayer, or one whose name is on the taxroll of any given city, may vote in a bond election. Boiled down, this becomes the simple fact that man or woman wishing to become eligible to
Seward seaport record., 1953-01-09

vote on such issues throughout the year need only file assess ment forms declaring ownership of a gun, a radio, furs, jeWelry, cameras, automobile, or other taxable items of personal prop erty. If he then pays tax in the amount of only one dollar he has become taXpayer-he is on the taxroll. He has the same right 10 vote on a general ob- ligation bond issue amounting to thousands of dollars as his neighbor who owns his own home or many pieces of valuable property. But-in the case of the general obligation bond, the man who owns his own home, and all other real property in the city is held responsible for payment of the obligation. In the meantime, the first man has left town for gleener pastures and is no longer concerned with paying off the thirty year debt which he has helped incur. The obligation bond is direct lien against all real rroperty in the incorporated area, and the prop erty can be taken over by the bond holder in payment if de- faulted just as any individual mortgage agreement.
 This, then, is the cause of so much argument in Alaska as to the right of persons who do not own real estate to vote in an obligation bond electin.
 A general REVENUE bond is sue is less formidable, as it is paid by the revenue collected from the project it covers, such as water systems, power plants, etc, the project itself guarantee ing payment of the bond. Sewer and paving projects are financed under obligation bonds but pay ment is largely assured by assess ment of property effected by the improvement.
 The five-room addition to the elementary school three years ago was financed by general obligation bond of S105, ,0O0, The addition was built and financed without benefit of federal par ticipating funds because of eX- treme need for immediate space. Those bonds are being paid off in regular payments. In October, 1852, Seward residents passed another bond issue for S600,0O0 for a new high school building, which is 50 per cent of the total cost. Under APW participation, these bonds need not be sold on the open market to insure con struction. In case of default, however, the government can demand that the bonds be sold and payment made, thus invok- ing the pledge made by the pro perty owners of the city in cleo tion, and making all real estate (not personal property) liable.
 The election coming cup Jan uary 20 is also a call for general obligation bond in the amount of S4OO,0O0 to build a new hos pital. Being an APW project, the bonds will not have to be sold except in case of default by the city on the 1850, ,OOO, which will then be owing the government, backed up by the real property within the city limits. This amount is in addi- tion to the sum left to be paid on the present school bonds.
 The above information was obtained from municipal author ities and bankers and is given in an effort to answer numerous questions which are being asked concerning the reasons for argu- ment about eligibility of voters

The new rate would make the

Reorganization
Continued From First Page.)

he believes Gen. Eisenhower pre-
ferred the same powers held by
Mr.. Truman, House Republican
Leader Halleck of Indiana told
reporters Gen. Eisenhower can
have the kind of reorganization
law he wants.
There was obvious maneuver-
ing on the part of Republican
leaders of both the House and
Senate to bring this about with
out a floor fight which could
split Republican ranks.
Democrats in both the House
and Senate have taken the po-
sition that Gen. Eisenhower
should have strong powers in re-
organizing agencies of the Gov
eminent. They point out that
Mr.. Truman sent Congress Al
reorganization plans of which
only II were rejected. If the
easier veto had prevailed, they
say that at least two others and
possibly more would have been
rejected.
Under the reorganization au-
thority held by Mr.. Truman,
which expires March 81, a con-
stitutional majority of either the
House or Senate is required on
a vote to reject any reorganiza-
ton move. That. meant at least
218 House members or 40 SEN
atorS had to vote against a plan
to block it.
Simple Majority Move.
Under the changed procedure
a simple majority of a quorum
in either House or Senate could
kill a plan. That would mean
a reorganization move could be
rejected by as few as Is Senators
or ITO House members.
Mr.. Halleck said that if Gen.
Eisenhower believes he should
have the constitutional majority
provision there is no question
but that the House will vote it,
This seemed to leave the mat
ter up to the White House. So
far the White House has not
clarified the situation. All Gen.
Eisenhower's press secretary,
James c. Hagerty. would say
yesterday. was: I'm not going
to discuss it at ALL" I
