IVA Chamber Opposes Consolidation Second And Fourth Judicial Divisions

The Northwestern Chamber of Commerce went on record yester- day noon at their regular business luncheon vigorously and unani- mously opposing the proposed constitutional committee recom- mendation that Second and Fouth Divisions be united and the feder- al court eliminated in northwest ern Alaska.
 Telegrams were sent to all dele gates from this division as we'll as to members of the Judiciary Com mittee and letters to Delegate Bartlett, Governor Heintzleman and other officials, pointing out the many reasons why curtailing the development of any part of Alaska at this time is unseemly and placing additional handicapS on the area of Alaska which is all ready burdened with problems re- tarding development. Moving the courts from the people places in SurmOuntable costs on justice for the average citizen, especially due 10 the overcrowded conditions on court calendars in both the Third and Fourth Divisions.
 Alaska can grow only one way and that is bigger-and mem bers of the Constitutional Conven- ton will have to have vision enough to see that all parts of AL aska will share in that growth, and prepare the constitution for the future as well as the present.
 Individuals and civic organiza- lions are urged to write delegates from other divisions as we'll as those from Second Division ex- pressing their views.

Bartlett Seeks To Include Alaska
 In Federal Highway Aid Program
By FRANK w. VAILLE

WASHINGTON, R- Delegate Bartlett said today he plans to seek meeting with Gov. B.. Frank HeintZleman to see whether agreement can be reached on leg islation to include Alaska in the federal aid to highways program.
 Alaska is not now included all though both Puerto Rico and Ha- waii draw benefits. Neither would Alaska be included in any of the bills now pending before Con- gress, although the territory would be taxed to produce pro- gram financing revenues.
 Territorial road needs now are met by direct federal appropria- tion which, Bartlett said, makes long range planning difficult because of it's year-to-year vari- ation. Last session these appro- priations totaled about A million dollars for both construction and maintenance.
 If Alaska were included under the present program, he said, .'it would receive about 2212 million dollars yearly for construction but would have to assume the full cost of maintenance.
 Because he feels this mainten- ance expense would be ''shOck" to the territorial treasury, Bartlett said he is considering a formula under which Alaska would re- ceive smaller construction pay ment but would not assume the maintenance burden.
 "It's just another example where we would have been better off to have been included in the program right at the start" he explained. "That would have per mitted us to work into it grad ually."
 The Heintzleman meeting is but one of several Bartlett has map ped out since his return from four months in Alaska.

James Dean and Jennifer Jones
 Are MOvies' Best
By BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD, R-T The late James Dean, emotion-torn hero of East of Eden" and Jennifer Jones, Eurasian doctor of 'Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" have been named the top movie performers of the year by the first Audience Awards poll.
 An estimated 15 million fans voted Mister Roberts" the best picture and Peggy Lee Pete Kelly's Blues) and Tab Hunter Battlecry and Track of the CaD the outstanding new personalities.
 The first mass polling of movie goers produced results that could have important bearings on the award of Oscars next March. Ger tainly Dean, and perhaps Miss Jones, loom as top contenders for HollyWOod'S premier honor, the Academy Award.
 It was a touching moment when Grace Kelly announced the award for Dean to the glamorous crowd at the Beverly Hilton last night. There was stunned silence, then applause as the audience realized the loss of the brilliant actor, killed at "A in a highway crash two months ago.
 After his co-star, young Natalie Wood, accepted the award, emcee George Murphy asked the crowd to join in a tribute to the late actor. The great names and lesser lights of Hollywood stood for a moment of silence and there were many wet cheeks among them.

which the Judiciary Committee hopes to have written into the constitution.
 If the Judiciary Committee has success on all 20 sections of its re- port, the judiciary setup in the State of Alaska would be as fol- lows:
 Three justices would sit on AL aska's supreme court. Their num- Der could be increased by law. The superior court would be com posed of five judges and their number, also, could be upped by law.
 The governor would fill the seats of the supreme court and the superior court on nominations by judicial council.
 The judicial council, as visual ized by the Judicial Committee, would be composed of three at torneys selected by the governing body of the organized bar (cur- rently the Alaska Bar ASsnD on the basis of ABA representation and three non-attorneys selected by the governor and subject to Senate approval.
 The judicial council, in addition to presenting nominations for court vacancies, would conduct studies to improve the admins tration of justice. Council appoint ment would be for six years.

Delegates Okay AIaska's Present Election Setup

FAIRBANKS, R- The Alaska Constitutional Convention Com mittee on suffrage and elections is pretty well satisfied with the way things are now, thank you
 The committee reported today:
 "The present suffrage qualifi- cations of the 5O-year-old act of Congress should apply to the State of Alaska with the following ex- ception-the voting age shall be reduced to 20 and the literacy qualifications determined by the legislature.
 It said the present Alaska tried and tested voting law should be proposed"
 The committee report was the first to be produced in the month long deliberations of the conven- tion. It was signed by John Hell enthal, Anchorage, the committee chairman.
 It is unlikely the recommenda- tions will be acted upon before the delegates have a chance to feel the pulse of the "peepul." '" Tn 14 committee chairmen said today they hope to get approval of a suggestion that no proposal be advanced beyond second read ing until after the late December recess.
 CUnder normal parliamentary procedure, bills are read three times before being voted upon for final passage).
 The suggestion, if adopted, will give the delegates chance to change their minds after going home for the IS day recess and hearing their constituents.
 The committee chairman said the recess should not be consid- cred a holiday but a period for gaining perspective, staging public hearings and learning more about the peoples wants.
 It also was learned that the committee on Bill of Rights voted to kill a proposal which would have prohibited a closed union shop.
 No member of the committee was favorable to the proposal, said Miss Dorothy Ayes, chair man. Apart from the idea behind it, she said, the members also felt such matter was not the business of the constitution.
 As the committee thinking now stands, Miss Ayes said, all such matters will be left to the legis- lature.

The Archbishop declared that
"the courage and confidence of the
Christian community is breaking
down in the face of a wholesale
anti.missionary campaign"
He cited the cast of a Belgian
Jesuit missionary working in the
Raigarh and Sargula districts who
had asked to leave India because of
the "unabated program of Wifi
cation of Christians !"
Archbishop D'Souza mentioned
two similar cases in the states OF
Uttar Pradesh and Hyderabad
"In all these cases" he said,
false charges were fabricated.

vindieate the poor missionaries
concerned, as they are foreign

In New Delhi meanwhile, further
Catholic concern over the future
of foreign missionaries in India
has been aroused by new charges
that Italian Catholic missionaries
are engaging in forced conver'

The issue came up in the lower
house of the Indian parliament
when Deputy Home Minister Abid
Ali declared that the government
