Many state constitution is a most remarkable hodgepodge of matters ranging from the basic to the ridiculous. Most state consti- tutions, like Topsy, "just growed." Additions were made without thought to the overall results of such additions A listing of the topics generally covered serves to illustrate the wide variety of mat ters deemed so basic and funda- mental that they were ipcorpor- ated into constitutions. Tn each of the categories listed there is, moreover, wide variation in con- tent among the states.
 CD Bill of Rights. All state con- Stitutions contain bills of rights. These constitutional guarantees of individual freedom have some times, in recent years, been ex- banded to include some economic rights.
 t2) Separation of Powers. Many state constitutions contain explicit provisions declaring that the pow CTS of government are divided among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches; other states have no explicit provision, but all adhere to the principle in practice.
 (3) Legislative Organization and Procedure. Every state makes pro vision for a legislature. In some constitutions the organization is set out in great detail; in a few, the legislative body is created in general terms. One state, Nebras- ka, provides for unicameral or one-house legislature. Many states prescribe legislative procedure in considerable detail.
 t4) Executive Officers and Pow CTS. All states have provisions for the election of a chief executive but others elect in addition a great number of other state administra- tive officials. Some constitutions provide for various boards and commissions.
 t5l Judicial Organization. Juris- diction. and Procedure. All states provide for a top court, usually called a supreme court. The ma jority of states specify, constitu- tionally, lower court machinery as well.
 t6) Suffrage and Elections.
 t7) Military Powers and Militia.
 (8) State Finance and Taxation. Most of these provisions deal with debt limitation and prohibition of certain types of taxes. Not infre- quently a homestead exemption provision is found in a state con- stitution.
 (9) Local Government. Most state constitutions contain provi- sionS, usually in extremely min ute detail, on the subject of local government. A fact which has served to increase tensions be- tween settled and less-settled areas and which has hampered the development of rural and ur- ban communities alike. Possibly one of the most difficult problems the Alaska Constitutional Con- vention will have to face is the one of local government powers and organization.
 tl0) Public Education. Usually there is general declaration of right of children to free public education, but many states have written specific tax support pro-

State Department Reverses Stand On Alaska Statehood
By FRANK w. vAILLE

WASHINGTON, R - The De- fense Dept today reiterated it's opposition to Alaskan statehood. It said it has been advised by the State Dept. it now ~defers to the judgement of the Department Of Defense"
 Information concerning the ap parent change of attitude by the State Dept. on the combined Al aska-Hawaii statehood bill was contained in a letter by James H. Douglas, acting Secretary of the Force, to chairman Jackson D- Wash of the Senate Territories subcommittee
 The subcommittee had asked an elaboration of the depart ment's stand against statehood for Alaska
 Jackson said he felt the de partment's reply was mot the kind of answer I feel we could expect in view of the depart ment's strong position against statehood.
 Jackson said he believes. the State Depts first stand in which it said statehood for Alaska and Hawaii would help relations with colonial peoples in the Far East to be it's "well-considered and ap- parent policy" adding:
 ''It is regrettable that the State Dept. had to compromise its posi- ton with the Defense Dept. in order to get conformity among executive agencies. There could well be good reasons why the State Dept. would support the legislation and the Defense Dept. oppose it.
 Douglas letter also disclosed the Defense Dept. opposes a pro- posed amendment to the state hood legislation which would limit the. area in which it could make special defense withdraw als

 The memorial, passed by the House Thursday, brought into the open recent behind the scenes predictions more time will be needed to break the dead lock over employment security legisla- ton.
 While the memorial asked the governor to issue a 15-day ad- vance call for a special session, it did not necessarily mean one will be held. Lawmakers said it was passed at this time so that a special session could be called now and held immediately after sine die adjournment of the regu- lar session.
 The memorial cited the Elm ployment Security problems as the issue that might make an over time session necessary.
 The governor declined com ment when the memorial was del ivered to his office in midafter- noon.

NY. Financier Says Govt Should Do Something About Stock Market
 By ED CREAGH

WASHINGTON, R - A New York financier- professor said to- day the stock market boom has reached the speculative stage The government should move "care- fully and cautiously toward do- ing something about 1t, he added.
 Speculation has not gone too far as yet, but there may be a grave danger that it will do so,'' Benjamin Graham told the Sen ate Banking Committee He is chairman of the Graham-Newman Investment Corp. and a professor of finance in the Columbia Uni versity School of Business.
 Unlike most other witnesses who have been heard, Graham offered some specific advice for the average investor in his pre- pared testimony:
 "The principles of the prudent investor will require him to tighten significantly his holdings of common stocks - the precise selling policy to depend, of course on his individual position and methods"
 Graham said normally Congress should not "meddle with the stock market" but that the time seems now to have come to con- sider taking the risky and con troversial" step of intervening.
 He proposed that Congress give the President authority to make changes in the rate of the capital gains tax so it could be lowered and it's operations modified in an effort to increase the supply of common stock.
 Graham said, too, he is inclined to favor "a fairly rapid advance" toward putting margin require ments at 100 per cent so as to halt stock buying on credit.

Hurricane Winds Rip
 Through Eastern US.
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Winds of hurricane force - up to 92 miles an hour-ripped thru Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania today leaving at least two dead, a score injured and thousands of dollars in property damage.
 The storm that developed over southeastern Michigan and west ern Indiana poured eastward like giant wedge, producing violent winds, hail, lightning and thunder before apparently easing itself out over eastern Pennsylvania.
 The storm started fires, uproot- ed trees, tore down power lines, smashed windows, toppled tele- vision and radio towers and blew off roofs from homes and plants.
 Dust storms swept across the great plains Winds reached a vel ocity as high as 70 mph in some areas yesterday. Visibility was re- ported as low as 25 feet in sec tions of western Kansas. Damage to winter crops was expected to be heavy.
