FAIRBANKS, R-Each legisla-
tor who serves the future State of
Alaska will be paid an annual sal
airy equal to one-third of the gov
ernor's salary if a proposal of the
Constitutional Conventions Leg
islative Committee is written into
the constitution being drafted.
The convention is in recess now
but the pay plan is expected to be
the subject Of heated debate when
the SIS delegates reasonable Jan. 4.
The committee, headed by Steve
McCutcheon of Anchorage, ex-
plains its reasoning this way:
Most states have not paid leg
islators respectable salaries, and
the citizens have often been dis
appointed when their legislators
were not respectable either. Good
salaries will not automatically
produce good legislators; rather,
they make their selection possible
Poor salaries, on the other
hand, tend to produce two types
of observation-disclosures who have
private means and who are, con-
sequently, likely to be upper class
in their attitude, and those who
are on payroll Of an outside inter
est and who are sent to the legis-
lature o.vote as that interest de
SireS."
Other committee recommended
tons include:
The Senate of the Alaska Legs
lature will contain not more than
20 members and the house not
more than 40. Senators will be at
least Is years old, three-year resi-
dents of Alaska, and one-year res
idents of their districts. House

WASHINGTON, Expressing

message last night to his country
men and the world.
''To each of you, wherever you
may be, from Mrs. Eisenhower

Eisenhower said.
Then from Gettysburg College
near his country home in Pennsyl-
vania, the President pressed a key,
and 5000 vari-colored lights on a
giant Christmas tree in Washing
ton burst into brilliance.
"Well, it worked" the President
said as he saw the lights 60 on via
television. Mrs. Eisenhower sat
beside him. :
The tree, a 65-foot spruce from
the Black Hills Of South Dakota,
stands just south Of the White
House grounds.
Vice President and Mrs. Nixon,
with their two young daughters,
sat on the stage while carols from
a 150-voice choir and the music Of
the US. Marine Band rang thru
the gathering dusk.
For Eisenhower in Gettysburg,
Nixon described the scene and
then introduced the President to

Light May Be From
2 Missing Men

FAIRBANKS, R-A searcher's
report Of what appeared to be a
weak flashlight signal from the
wilderness gave new, but re-
strained hope today in the search
for two men who vanished Is days
ago on flight near the Canadian
Alaska boundary.
Two occupants of search plane
reported seeing the faint light,
about 10 miles on the Alaska side
of the boundary, as darkness and
cloudiness settled Sunday. The
search pilot said, however, that he
could not become buoyant about
the possible clue until more sup
porting evidence can be found.
Searchers can see "spots before
their eyes" after hours of scanning
from the air, he said. However,
the fact that two men reported
seeing the light increased the hope
it might be a tangible clue.
The missing men are Forrest
Wright, 81, the pilot, and Andy
Warwick, AZ. They vanished on a
flight to Eagle from a "cat train"
trail in the remote section of Yu-
kon Territory. Sub-zero cold has
prevailed in the region.
