ItP.-Any miuts from other
munipuks in this territory who
want to sound of about what to
name populated areas in the
future state of Alaska are in
yited to show UP in this nunapuk
tomorrow.
But don't be coming around
here talking like you're from
some big metropolitan area, see.
That'll be strictly passe. Other
suggestions will be listened to
with interest by the Committee
on Local Government at the
Constitutional Convention now
in session on the University of
Alaska campus.
The committee members are
in a quandary, facing a real
crisis in deciding what words to
use to designate their populated
areas. Ordinary States call them
towns, shires. parishes. Dor
roughs, burgs. even cities.

Tokyo Staying
Case Reopened
Freedom Sought
For Mrs. Smith

An effort will be made Decem-
Der 90 in U. S. District Court
Charleston, w. Va, to release
Mrs. Dorothy Kruger Smith
serving life in Anderson Peni-
Tertiary for the murder of her
husband.
The plea on a writ of habeas
corpus obtained today will be
based on recent court rulings
which require that civilians be
tried by civilian courts and not
by the military.
Mrs. Smith. daughter of Gen.
Walter Kruger of World War II
fame, was convicted by an Army
court in Tokyo January, 10, 1858,
of plunging a knife into the body
OF her sleeping husband, Col.
Aubrey D. Smith. IS, when they
lived in Tokyo.
Military Code Affected
Today's action before Federal
Judge Ben Moore in Charles
ton was based substantially on
the same grounds on which Mrs.
Clarine Covert, convicted of
Staying her Air Force husband in
England, was freed here Novem-
Der %.
Federal Judge Edward A.
Tamm, referring to an earlier
Supreme Court opinion, ruled
that civilians must be tried by
civilian jurieS. This in effect up
set a provision of the Code of
Military Justice, that civilians
accompanying armed forces over
seas may be tried by court
martial for crimes outlawed by
the code.
In an action which threw
doubt on conviction of civilians
tried by military courts over
seas, the Supreme Court ruled
that Robert w. 10th, charged
with murder while serving in
Korea, could not be tried by
court-martial after his honor
able discharge.
Convicted in Tokyo
Mrs. Smith was convicted in
Tokyo despite a plea of insanity,
and sentenced to serve life at
hard labor.
Today'S action in Charleston
was brought by John c. Morri-
son, a Charleston attorney, who
will defend Mrs. Smith. Chief
counsel is Frederick Bernays
Wiener, a Washington attorney.

But the committee members
think this isn't suitable for this
land of the Aleut and the Es-
kimo, the Indian and the white
man. So they have tentatively
dreamed up some words with ma
tive derivatives and Just a dash
of the white mans tongue.
These include 'nuna," "nuna-
puk," 'munipuk" and "nunat'
for areas, and "miut" for people
in the areas.
Nuna means inhabited areas,
nunapuk is big inhabited area
and nunat means fixed area in
this jargon. A suggestion added
"puk," which means big, to
mum to make munipuk or a big
municipality.
None of 1t is final yet and
anyone with ideas is invited to
express them in the convention

Inspection
Pushed u. n.
Priority Is Sought
On Eisenhower Plan

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y, Dec
8 R.-The United Nations Pc
litical Committee pressed for
vote today on a four-power arm
plan to give priority in disarma'
ment negotiations to Presiden'
Eisenhower's "open sky" inspec'
ton proposals.
Indications were the resolution
submitted by the United States
France, Canada and Britain
would win strong approval de.
spite Soviet objections. But un.
less the Soviets give in. the Els.
enhower plan can't operate.
The committee scheduled
morning. afternoon and nigh
sessions in hopes Of cleaning ur
the disarmament question anc
passing 1t on to the General AS
sembly for final action.
The Western plan would have
the big -power U. N. Disarmament
Subcommittee begin q new rounc
Of discussions concentrating or
the Eisenhower plan and Soviet
Premier Bulganin's proposal fol-
ground inspection teams.
Change in Positions
The Russians have put in an
amendment which would instruct
the subcommittee TO give priority
instead to the overall Soviet
disarmament plan of which the
ground inspection proposal is
only a part. The plan also calls
for cuts in standing forces and
a ban on nuclear weapons.
The arms debate through the
past week showed no relaxing OF
the adamantly opposed East
West positions spelled out at the
Big Four foreign ministers meet
ing in Geneva.
The Russians contended the
Eisenhower plan has no bearing
on reduction Of arms or cutting
taxes levied for military pur-
poses. They argued that. in
stead of freeing people from the
fear Of surprise attack. it would
increase international mistrust
Early Warning System
Chief Soviet Delegate v. v
KuZnetsov said his government
was willing to consider the Ell
senhower plan as part of a gen.
eral system of arms control. bu'
not as a starter for disarma'
ment.
The Americans acknowledged
the Presidents plan was not 6
substitute for overall disarma'
ment. But they said it should bt
put into effect as part Of an early
warning system since agreement
on any general disarmament
plan is a long way off.
The United States also la.
beled as hypocritical the Kremlir
demands for the immediat,
elimination Of nuclear weapons
and a ban on nuclear militar,
tests before satisfactory control.
are established.
Once an arms limitation sys.
tenn is in effect, the United
States said, then there can be
corresponding restrictions on the
testing Of nuclear weapons.
President Eisenhower first pro-
posed his air-inspection plan al
the summit meeting last July.
The Political Committee also
had before it an Indian proposal
to enlarge the l2-nation Dis
armament Commission and in
struct 1t to seek agreement on
both the Eisenhower and Bull
ganin plans. India has argued
that the commission should be
more representative of all areas

president Eisenhower and his

laden farm problem at a meeting

Out of the meeting was ex-
pected to come the final frame

work of the plan the administra-
ton will present to Congress to
relieve price squeezed American
farmers.
Secretary Of Agriculture Ben
son came to the meeting with his
key aides to present the program
decided on by the departments
experts.
Walks to Meeting in Snow
The Presidents retreat here
was blanketed by fog as Mr..
Eisenhower arrived from Gettys-
burg at 8:44 am. Snow was
falling as he walked from his
cottage to the cabinet meeting.
The snow Cancelled plans of
some of the officials to fly here
by helicopters.
Vice President Nixon, Secre-
ltary of Defense Wilson and
! others had remained here over
! night after attending yester-
days National Security Council
meetings.
Special Message Indicated
The presence Of Kelvin Nc
Cam, the Presidents principal
speech-writer. indicated that Mr..
Eisenhower may be preparing to
send a special message to Con-
gress on the administrations
plan for aiding hard-pressed
farmers.
The cabinet session lasted for
u hours and Is minutes.
! The snow was falling heavily
as Mr. Eisenhower left to return
to his farm.
Secretary Benson told re-
|porters he hoped to have a much
broader program than the six
point proposals announced after
Ia conference in Denver with
MFR. Eisenhower. He added that
the administration program
would be submitted to Congress
in a special message probably in
January.
Mr.. Benson and his advisers
have been working on a long
range as well as an emergency
program of aid for farmers.
f., some of which will require new
!, legislation.
:. "SOil Bank" Proposed
One of the features of the
program is understood to be
some version of a soil bank"
under which farmers would re-
ceive benefit payments for TAX
ing land out of production and
improving its fertility. The cost
tag on this has been estimated
at $500 million.
Mr.. Benson was accompanied
by Undersecretary of Agriculture
True D. Morse, Assistant Secre-
tary Earl Butz and Dr.. Don Paal-
berg, assistant to Mr.. Benson.
A White House aide said the
farm problem-which threatens
to become an explosive issue in
the next session of Congress and
in the 1856 presidential CAM
lpaign-was the principal matter
discussed at the cabinet ses-
sion. At a cabinet meet
ing here two weeks ago, deal
ing largely with budget mat
tiers, the farm problem was not
discussed pending completion of
Mr.. BenSon's recommendations.
For months a hot political
fight has been in the making in
the controversy over the issue of
fixed versus flexible price sup
ports. Mr. Benson has refused
to yield from his opposition to
fixing support prices at 80 per
cent of parity.
However, he indicated recent
ly he might go along with some
modification on some high
quality crops. He also is said
