ELECTION DISTRICTS

To elect the SIS delegates to the
Constitutional Convention, Alas
ka is divided into % election dis
tricts. Seven delegates are to be
chosen from the territory at
large election district 22), leav-
ing 48 to be chosen from within
the boundaries of the four Judi
cial divisions-12 from the LIST;
6 from the End; 20 from the 3rd;
and 10 from the 4th division.
But note carefully the sub
division of each judicial division
into its different election dis
tricts. This is bit confusing, due
to the usual compromise result
ing from two conflicting bills in
troduced in the last legislative
session. Each election district
within each division elects one
delegate to the convention to
represent that district, but the
voters of that district also are
to vote for delegates at : large
from that division. in addition to
the seven territorial delegates
at-large.
For example, the residents of
Nome election district 7, Cape
The Nome nugget., 1955-04-27

Nome and Wade Hampton Re-
cording Districts vote for only
one delegate from this district,
but also can vote for four dele
gates at-large from the Second
Judicial Division election dis
trict 81 plus seven delegates at
large from the territory Thus
each voter in Nome will vote for
q grand total of IL delegates to
the convention. There is one
more election district in the Sec
ond Judicial Division, election
district No. 8-the Fairhaven and
Noatak Kobuk Recording Dis
tricts.
The voters in that district also
will vote for IL convention dele
gates.
This compromise is valuable
for two important reasons. 1t en-
sures at least a limited represent
alton at the convention from
every geographical area Of AL
aska. Also, it may prove useful
experiment for the convention in
their task of creating political
sub divisions for the new state
government.

Rover Is Given
Citation While
TouringLorton

/ United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover yesterday toured the place
where he and his staff send so
many people-the Lorton (Va.)
Reformatory.
| For Mr.. Rover, the trip was
anything but novel. He has
toured the sprawling plant many
times in the past as a member for
five years of the District Parole
Board.
For his assistant prosecutor 5,
who turned out in force, Lorton
was new experience. And while
they and the scores of other
guests of the District Department
of Corrections were there, Mr..
Rover received a citation from
Corrections Director Dona d
Clemmer.
The citation was in recogni-
ton of Mr.. Rover'S outstanding
service to law enforcement in
the District of Columbia and his
cooperation with the Correc-
lions Department. Mr.. Clemmer
said such certificates are to be
presented biennially to outstand-
ing figures in law enforcement
here.
The departmental tour COW
cred not only Lorton Reforma-
tory but the Workhouse and
Women's Reformatory at nearby
Occoquan. The only spot that
was missed was the District Jail
in the city itself.

All the color and glamour
traditionally associated with

Corps was very much in evil
dence yesterday as their COM
mander, Gen. Lemuel ShGp-
herd, staged a full dress parade
followed by a garden party in
honor of the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff and Mrs.
Arthur Radford.
Under the late afternoon
sun. several hundred guests
watched the spectacle on the
parade grounds of the Marine
Barracks-an exhibition of in
credible precision as handsome
Marines in blue and white uni
forms and the relocated Ma
rine Band displayed the re-
suits of hours of drills and
practice.
Afterward, guests walked
over to the commandments
house, which adjoins the pa
rade grounds, and were re-
ceived in the garden by the
Radfords and Gen. Shepherd.
The only missing element
was the presence of Gen. Shep-
herds lovely and popular wife.

For tired and weary officials,
who spend most of their day

Murder Count

The United States Court of
Military Appeals yesterday up
held the Navy's authority to
court -martial a civilian seaman
but overthrow his conviction for
unprecedented murder.
The case of James Robertson,
40, Magnolia, Ark, was returned
to the Nays judge Advocate
General.
Two years ago, Robert o n
killed a shipmate in Yokohama
in a waterfront bar brawl. The
appellate court noted yesterday
the death resulted at least in
part from the victims "unfor-
tunate possession Of an unusu-
ally thin and soft skull" Rob-
ertSon hit him with a stick.
They were crewmen aboard
the S. S. Provo Victory. a Com
merce Department vessel allo-
Gated to the Military Sea Trans
portation Service.
The appeals court ruled that
Robertson was subject to mill
tary law. That dispensed with
one of his two appeals points.
The other point protested the
failure of the court-martial law
officer to instruct court members
on the lesser offense of involun-
tary manslaughter. Robertson's
counsel specifically requested the
legal officer to so instruct the
board.
Evidence pictured Robertson
and the man he killed as drink
ing friends the day of the killing.
And Robertson, in pre-trial
statements and on the stand,
swore he did not mean to kill
his opponent. The appeals court
decided yesterday the court
should have at least considered
substituting involuntary man
slaughter for the charge against
Robertson.
Robertson originally was
charged with premeditated MUIR
der. The court convicted him of
unprecedented murder and
sentenced him to Is years at
hard labor. A review board cut
the sentence to 10 years.

Property Owners AssoiI
Bid to Raise Elevator Fee

Representatives of Washington
property owners today assailed a
proposed increase in elevator
inspection fees.
Appearing at Commissioners
hearing in the District Building
Charles j. Bauer, executive sec
rotary of the Building Owners
and Managers Association of
Metropolitan Washington, urged
the city to save money by stop
ping its elevator inspections and
relying upon those made by in
surance company inspectors.
The hearing covered an annual
revision of many permit and in
spection fees charged by the De-
partment of Licenses and In
spections. The proposals were
taken under advisement by the
Commissioners.
Mr.. Bauer'S stand was echoed
by Walter B. Jarvis. representing
the Washington Real Estate
Board. He commended the Dis
trict now accepts inspections of
steam boilers made by insurance
companies and should save
money by doing the same thing
with elevator inspections.
The proposed fee increase.
from $12 to SCI, already has
been reflected in bills received
by building owners, Mr.. Bauer
said.
Licenses and Inspections Di-
rector Cabell Gwathmey said
bills were issued on the assump-
ton that the new fee schedules
would be approved by the Com
missioners. They are not effect
i've until July, he said, and
