Controversial Employment Security Measures Before The Legislature Again

JUNEAU, lR - Employment Security legislation came back to a controversial front seat again in the legislature today.
 The latest activity on the bill, on which the Senate and House are at loggerheads, came after a wire from regional headquarters of the Employment Security Blu reau in Seattle that the Washing ton office had raised a question about several points in the re- strictive bill which has passed the Senate.
 The revived controversy over whether the Senate bill might not be in conformity with federal reg ulations first came into the open in the House, where Rep. Harry Palmer D-Anchorage) reported flatly that the wire said SB-56 lis not in conformity"

Hungarian Premier Nagy
 Denounced By The Party For His "DeviatiOnalism'

BUDAPEST, Hungary, R - Leaders of the Hungarian Com munist party today accused Pre- mier Imre Nagy of ''rightist de- viationism" and of supporting mistaken "rightist ideas" in speeches and articles.
 CWestern observers in Vienna said Nagy'S dismissal from office appeared imminent. He had been his country's chief mouthpiece for Soviet ex-premier Georgi Malen- kov'S policy of more consumer goods. His downfall had been ex- pected since the Soviet Union and Hungary early this year returned to policies emphasizing heavy in dustrial production, which in- cludes war materials)
 A statement by the Hungarian Workers Party's central commit tee accused Nagy of encouraging elements who tried to frustrate industrialization and deny the necessity of heavy industry de- velOpment.

Dulles Warns Red China Not To Start Anything

WASHINGTON, R - Secretary of State Dulles trip to the Far East apparently convinced him the United States and Commun- ist China are heading toward a military showdown - probably over Formosa.
 In nation wide broadcast last night, Dulles issued two solemn warnings:
 l. To the Chinese Reds he said US. naval and air forces in the area are now equipped with new and powerful weapons of pre- cision, which can utterly destroy military targets without endan- gering cilivian centers."
 2. To the American people he said the whole defense system for free Asia will fail unless they are willing to use their greater force" in response to a military challenge from Communist China.
 Dulles tone was grim although he reported progress on strength ening the Southeast Asia Alliance whose conference at Bangkok took him abroad.
 !. He returned Sunday after stops at other capital including that of Nationalist China on Formosa.
 One theme dominated Dulles talk. It was that the free, friendly peoples of Asia are mainly de- pendent for their security on mobile allied power" spearhead- ed by US. sea and air power. And he said if they think that the United States will not fight if trouble comes then they will lose confidence and free Asia will fall apart.
 Dulles did not say specifically that the showdown which he fore sees will come over Formosa. Dulles said that the Chinese Reds, by claiming great victories in Korea and in the recent Ta- chen Islands evacuation, as well as in Indochina last summer, at tempt to portray the United States as paper tiger" on whose strength small nations can not rely.
 "We must, if occasion offers, make it clear that we are pre- pared to stand firm and, if neces- sary, meet hostile force with a greater force that we possess, !" the secretary said

House Deadlock FOreseen On Constitutional Amendment Bill
 Over Delegate Electing Method
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, tR-The Senate pass ed 13-2 the bill calling for a November convention at the Uni versity of Alaska after amending it to provide for election of dele gates from districts throughout the territory. The two mo" votes were by Republicans Doris Barnes and Wrangell and Charles Jones of Nome.
 The bill was returned to the House where a deadlock is pos sible over the principal amend ment, for the election by dis tricts. It was rejected by the House earlier.
 In restoring the district election plan to the statehood convention bill, the Senate made some re- visions in the district allotment of delegates. An additional dele gate was added to Nome to raise the Second Division total to six and the convention delegate total to 61
 Then three proposed southeast ern Alaska districts were consoli- dated into one They are the Wrangell, Petersburg and Sitka recording districts.
 The original House committee bill version, which was rejected in the House, and the amendment as it came from the Senate State hood Committee, proposed one delegate each from Wrangell and Petersburg and two for Sitka. 1t would have had the effect of eliminating one of the two sena- tors from Wrangell, Mrs. Barnes and Senate president James No Ian, from chance of represent ing their home district.
 The revised plan of consolidat- ing the Sitka, Wrangell and Petersburg districts will give it a total of four delegates-the same total they would have had in dividually.
 Before final passage of the bill, senators of southeast Alaska fail ed in move to try to have the convention site shifted from the university to Juneau.

Both Houses Go Into Overtime Passing Legislation
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, LR-Laboring to re- duce bulging calendars, Alaska legislators worked overtime yes terday with both houses passing key legislation before ending one of the longest meetings of the 1855 session.
 The House passed IA bills be- fore calling it quits at pm. The Senate session ended after 6.
 Statehood bills were on the cal endars in both chambers before adjournment.
 The Senate completed legisla- tive action on a resolution from the House to provide for the ter ritorial auditor to remain as in surance commissioner until a new commissioner is named under a bill signed into law last week by the governor.
 The emergency resolution was required because the repeal of the auditor as insurance commits SiOner left the office vacant and no prospect of it being filled until a commission is appointed by the governor.
 In the House, members voted for a new $1OO,OOO appropriation for the Alaska Statehood Com mittee created by the 1949 legis- lature to coordinate activities in behalf of statehood.
 Other bills passed by the House included:
 An act to ban the general use of fireworks in the territory. Any banning of them by present law is in cities only by ordinance.
 A new and comprehensive military code for Alaska, which sets up the organization plans for militia and National Guard in de- tail, provides for such things as court martial procedures and al- lows the governor to call out the National Guard in emergency.
 A bill to remove the present limit of $15,OOO on damage claims for a death by wrongful act of another person, It provoked lively argument in the House, with most of the attorneys favor ing it and contending the $15,O00 long has been outdated as a req sonable settlement for death claim. Rep. Ken Johnson, an An chorage insurance man, was a leading opponent with the conten- ton the change would raise in- surance rates and he raised the question: Why not just call this bill what it is nm an act to in crease the fees for attorneys?"
