FBI Arrests Bank Bandit Who Made Largest Single Handed Haul

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, R = Nattily dressed George Patrick Mckinney, 27, who went broke operating premium car agency here under another name, is un- der arrest for single-handedly robbing a Floral Park, NY, bank of more than $19O,000 a.year ago.
 The haul was "one of the larg- est amounts ever obtained by a lone bandit in a bank robbery" said Edward J. Powers, special agent in charge of the FBI in Florida.
 The FBI arrested Mckinney a few minutes after he reported for duty on a new job, as medical extern at the Duval Medical Gen. ter. He had lived here over 10 months as Wade Patrick Johnson, apparently an up and coming young businessman until his car business folded, with no one sus- pecting a criminal record.
 A rogue's gallery picture that had been posted only "A hours in connection with another crime, burglary in California-led to his capture. A woman noticed the picture in the post office at near by Arlington, Fla, and called the FBI which linked him with the bank robbery through finger prints.

Mrs. John Gorsuch
 Replaces Late Husband In Territorial Senate

ANCHORAGE, R-Mrs. John F. Gorsuch of Anchorage was nominated unanimously at a Third Division Republican Con- vention Monday for the unexpired Territorial Senate term of her late husband.
 At the same time, Third Divi- sion Democrats nominated Jack Werner as their candidate at a Seward convention. The Demo- crats also called for a constitu- tional convention.
 Werner, a prominent Seward businessman, had the support of delegates from the outlying areas as well as from Anchorage.
 Feeling at the Democrats con- vention ran high over pamphlets distributed by the Commonwealth Committee, which is currently conducting what the convention delegates termed a last ditch ef- fort to block statehood.
 The more than 200 delegates attending the Seward convention passed a resolution reaffirming their stand in favor of statehood for the territory and asking that the next legislature call a consti- tutional convention.

 A Committee for Common wealth" has been formed, with many Third Division supporters, and its first step is an extensive campaign of education," with distribution of 25,OOO pamphlets throughout Alaska to stimulate the thinking along commonwealth lines"
 Chairman of the group, Alex w. Bowker, of Spenard, pointed to the recent conclusive defeat for all chances of Alaskan state hood during the last session of Congress and said "since state hood is impossible in the foresee- able future, we've carefully in vestigated the commonwealth sit uation in Puerto Rico, and we feel Alaska would do well to follow their example.

City To Engage Another Full Time PatrOlnnan

The city council is engaging a new patrolman to augment the present plan which stops at 300 a.m., thus giving 24-hour protec- ton. The additional patrolman will not only give police protec- ton in the early hours of the mor- ming but will also serve as a fire patrol.
 The Fire Department reported no fires for the month of July.
 The Police Department report ed 63 arrests with 1892 in fines and forfeitures and $8O in traf- fife fines.
 A resolution was adopted by the council to allow no more liquor licenses than at present as the city how has five with seven dis pensaries which they consider sufficient for the size of the pop ulation.
 City Clerk Carrie McLain re- ported that the sales tax collected for the second quarter amounted to 12,667.25. Last year for the same period collections were S11, ,461.12.
 The Public Health Nurse re- ported 79 X-rays taken for the month of July and two patients from King Island sent to sanator- iums and one to the MIMI Hos pital.

US. To Co Ahead with Eisenhower's
 Atoms-for-Peace Plan, Says Dulles;
 Russia Asked If TurndoWn Is Final

WASHING lON, HNSecTetdTy of State Dulles said Tuesday the United States, preparing to go ahead with President EisenhoW- CTS Atoms-for-Peace plan in any case, has asked Russia whether it's turndown of the proposal is final.
 Dulles told a news conference that private talks with Russia's Foreign Minister Molotov, along with formal notes, show very fan damental differences in the Am erican and Russian approaches to the problem.
 At present, Dulles said, the US. government is actively consider ing the prospect of beginning talks at an early stage with other coun- tries which might join this plan both to contribute materials and share the benefits. He did not name the countries.
 The President set out his pro- posal in an address Dec. 8 before the United Nations. He called for a world bank of fashionable mat erials to be set up for peaceful purposes which would be avail able to all countries. The idea is that it would study ways of har- messing the atom for the benefit of mankind.
 On other subjects, Dulles:
 l. Said he hopes an announce ment may be forthcoming later this week spelling out the plans to create a Southeast Asia alliance against Communism. He said that there was a possibility one of the Colombo powers" might join.
 This group, taking it's name from a meeting in Colombo, Ceylon, includes India, Ceylon, Burma, Indonesia and Pakistan.
 2. Described the situation in southern Viet Nam as nearly chaotic, but said he had no infor nation which suggested the Con- munists might try to seize power from the non-Red regime.
 3. Said Japan's worsening fi- nancial picture is a grave problem but that it may be possible to re- lieve this somewhat by opening up new trade markets to the Jap anese and selling surplus Ameri- can farm products to them at cut rate prices. He said, however, he did not think it would be neces- sary to resume direct financial aid to the Japanese.

example, the effects of a shift to commonwealth would be far reaching. Under the new status, AlaskanS would:
 l. Pay no federal income taxes on money earned in the territory. (The committee points to the latest available figures, showing the av- craze Alaskan paying $309.30 an nually in federal income tax, while each Puerto Rican paid S1.73 for the entire year)
 2. Pay no excise taxes, which now take $1O.50 gallon on whis- key, two cents gallon on gaso- line, and tax 1855 articles alto gether.
 3. Pay local taxes as set up by the legislature.
 4. Be in a position to offer term tax incentives to new industries and new investment money for establishment of plants in Alas ka, creating many new year round jobs for Alaskan workers.
 5. Become members of a com pletely autonomous state, volun- tarily associated with the US.
 6. In no way jeopardize future admittance to the Union as state.
 Last year, the committee says, Alaskans paid nine million dollars in taxes to the territory and 46 million to the federal govern ment. They estimate a common wealth would cost 13 million dol lars a year, much less than the cost under full statehood.
 The committee again points to Puerto Rico, which attained com- monwealth status in July of 1852, as the example.
 Under the constitution of Puerto Rico, approved by Congress and accepted by 01 percent Of the people in referendum, self-gov- ernment is reported as complete as in any state.
 Puerto Rico has no representa- ton in Congress, nor do its people participate in national elections.
 But, the committee points out, since they have no representative, they are not subject to federal taxation-thus fulfilling one of Americas earliest creeds of mo taxation without representation"
 "We lose no part of our Ameri- can citizenship" Bowker said.

More Dock Workers
Stragg|e Back 10 Jobs
On New York Piers
BY the Assoeictsd Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 20.-A
small but increasing number of
dock workers struggled back to
their jobs on New York's strike
bound waterfront today. after
stiff city measures were taken to
protect all dockmen wishing to
work.
Police and union surveys indi-
Gated that possibly as many as
1000 longshoremen had reported
for cargo handling. in COMPARE
son with only 1000 yesterday.
This inspired predictions that
a break may be in sight in the
16-day-old strike. which has
taken a million dollar-a- day toll
in business losses and almost
turned the harbor into ghost
port.
A Brooklyn police official said:
by Monday you'll see a lot Of
men go back to work"
AL Oficial Confident.
A similar prediction came from
John Dryer, chairman of the
Port Organizing Committee of
the AFL international Long
shoremen's Association.
It is his unions showdown
battle with the old independent
n t irrational Longshoremen's
Association over representation
OF "a, 900 dock laborers which led
to the harbor paralysis.
The fight began when the AL
kicked out the old lila for fail
ing to purge its ranks Of rack
eteering elements. The AFL set
up its own longshore union and
the rival groups since have
locked in a desperate struggle
for leadership.
The present strike is part Of
the old unions effort to force
recognition of itself as repre-
sentative of the lockers.
Waterfront Now Quiet.
Mr.. Dwyer, referring to the
strong police guard set up along
the waterfront by the city adj
ministration, asserted:
"As the fact sinks in that
hoods no longer control the
waterfront, more and more men
| will 60 back to the piers"
In recent days there have been
bloody clashes between nom
striking AFL men and LILA pick
cts. However, since institution
OF the stout police guard yester-
day, relative quiet has reigned.

$4,000 more than was appropri-
ated this year.
The county's library system
was given $4,000 or $500 more
than the current appropriation,
The welfare departments re-
quest was cut only 70 cents.

time.
