Hinckel Gives Report
On Constitution Making

ings Of the Constitutional Conyen-
ton being held at Fairbanks was
given Chamber of Commerce mem
bers who attended the luncheon
meeting of that body Thursday
noon, by Jack Hinckel, delegate
for Kodiak and the Aleutian chain.
Some interesting highlights were
given by the delegate. who con-
Quoted question period following
his talk.
His speech dealt mainly with
the question of legislative appOr-
tionment. Under the present plan.
not yet in its final stage, there will
be 40 members in the House and
20 Senator'S. There will be Is legis-
lative districts with each district
apportioned according to its popu-
lation. Under this plan, Kodiak
will have two representatives and
one Senator. The chain will have
a representative and one senator.
The 1850 census figures are used
to determine apportionment by
population, and the apportionment
would change as the population
shifts. Kodiak is not entitled to
two representatives, according. to
the 1850 census, but system TAX
ing into account unrepresented
fraction has been deviced, which
gives this district the two. A popu-
lation of 2724 is entitled to one
representative. 1875 is the estinat-
ed population for 1850. BY adding
the total earned by the unrepre-
sented fraction the figure of two
representatives is arrived at.
Asked as to the cooperation of
delegates from other districts,
Hinckel stated there is good team
work, and the convention on the
whole is working together effici-
emily and tremendously. He prais-
ed the Convention President, Will
liam Egan, who ne said was doing
an excellent job. He said that de-
spite reports in the newspapers,
which he said highlighted occa-
sional flareups and squabbles that
occurred. the delegates were max
ing considerable progress.
In his opinion, he said. Juneau
would still remain the capital city
of the new state of Alaska.
The widely publicized "Tennes-
see Plan," he said came in for
considerable discussion. He believ-
ed msot delegates favored it. ''The
is going to recommend the Ten
neSsee Plan" that would provide
for election of two senators and one

not, but whether it should be v0t-

went to a watery grave followin
her dredging operations here, as
she was enroute to Seward with
load of construction material for
Maori Construction Co.
The barge, a sturdy Leu, was
being towed from Kodiak by the
tug Pawtucket, and had battled
storms of gale proportions for SO
hours. Apparently a sudden heavy
sea turned the ship over. sending
the men aboard into the water.
Many theories have been advanced
as to the actual cause of the sink
ing, but the barge has weathered
many previous storms, some of
them in the Bristol Bay waters,
and is known for its rugged con-
Struction.
what happened, happened fast,
according to the Pawtucket skip
per, Harold Maxwell. I'VE had
kept in constant radio communica-
ton with the Seahorse, until short
tly before, when Peters radioed
he expected the generator to give
out. When that happened, we main
tanned communication with each
other about every twenty minutes
by waving a light. This happened
for about two hours when two
lights appeared from the Seahorse,
waving up and down. We turned
the Pawtucket towards the barge.
Before doing that, we had kept her
in our radar screen, but when we
turned, were unable to contact
her. Whatever happened, hap
pened that quick" When the Paw
tucket arrived, which was in
matter of minutes, no trace could
be found of the barge or the men.
The sinking occurred east of the
tip of the Kenai Peninsula near
Port Dick in the Point Gore tide
rips.
More specifically, the bearing of
the ship was lilo degrees from
East Chusach Light, or 10 miles
away Ironically, the Pawtucket
was within a short distance of a
sheltered bay, to which it was
heading. The mishap occurred
100 Sunday morning.
The four men aboard, missing
since the accident, are feared dead.
They are Captain Lou Rexford
Peters, of Kodiak, Rod Kee, an
engineer, of Seattle and two crew
members, William Dalaroff of
Afognak and Tom Brown.
The Seahorse, a motorized barge,
was owned by the Kodiak Aleutian
Salvage Company. It had just COM
pleted dredging operations in the
Kodiak channel. Work here was
begun early in June.
Maxwell Immediately radioed for
aid. He began a search of the
nearby waters. but no trace was
found Of the missing men. 4 Il
foot skiff was located about two
miles from the barge's position
