Commission Suspends Right To Sell Stock

An Alaskan livestock venture re- ceived a setback when the Securi- ties Exchange Commission temper arily suspended the company's right to sell stock. The company was organized for the purpose of raising marketing beef cattle on various islands 10 to 161 miles southeast of the Alaskan peninsula.
 The financing efforts of the company, the Pacific Alaska Land Livestock Co. suffered setback this week as a result of the com missions order temporarily with drawing its exemption from regis .tering its stock for sale. The Com mission said it had reasonable cause to believe" the company's ad- vertisements and the oral state ments of Cline S, Koonz of Fair banks, it's president and organizer, would and did operate as a fraud and deceit upon purchases"
 Orval Dubois, Commission secre- tary, told newsmen he had no idea how much of the $299, ,948 offering of the Company may have been sold before the suspension order was issued. Koonz filed notice of the company's offering last April 9. The offering was exempt frosn registration because it tesaled isss than $500, GOO. srs-
 Dubois said he had received no reply from the company as yet. He said the company will probably ask for hearing, or any event it will set by the Commisesion on its own order.

Presence of the Public Controversial Sudject

Fairbanks-(AP). Delegates to the Constitutional Convention ar- gued long and windily Thursday afternoon before deciding to adapt a watered-down version of pro- posal to bar press and public from it's committee meetings.
 The rules committee started it all with the proposal that all meet ings of standing committees be closed. This proposal was immedi- ately met with objections against depriving the public of it's right to know what was going on. Victor Fischer, Anchorage delegate, said, ssThe convention was being held for the people and they should not be required to wait for 3 closed committee to adjourn before find ing out what it did. "
 Mildred Hermann. of Juneau, opposed the closed meeting, say ing: Let's not burden the public ear with trivia. It is a matter of efficiency and getting lesser i'm portant details ironed out in com 1nittee.'' , Delegate Frank Barr of Fairbanks said the public would distract the delegates, and it. would open the session to lobby ing.
 Voice vote finally approved the rule which requires each commit tee to decide at the time it meets whether its proceedings would be open to tn public and press. Ap- plications from public to be pres ent must be considered each time a committee meets.

Constitution Making
 Underway At University

A capacity crowd of delegates and spectators filled the gymnasi- u1n of the University of Alaska, which has been renamed Conven- ton Hall for the occasion, when Gov. B. Frank Heintzleman called the Constitutional Convention to order last Tuesday. The historic gathering was addressed by the Governor, Delegate to Congress Bartlett, and the former governor of Alaska, Ernest Gruening.
 The invocation which followed the governors call to order was fiftingly pronounced by an Eski- mo, Rev. Roy Ahmoagak, Presby- terian minister from Wainwright.
 Del. Bartlett delivered the sec cad keynote speech. In his message to the delegates, he warned them against the dangers of exploitation of natural resources in improper ways, citing the Kennecott Cop per Corporation. which he termed typical of the 18th Century Rob Der Baron Policy. Copper in the svsIue oE ovef $20D million dollars was taken from the Chitina." he said. The operation was shut dawn In 1888. The tremendous poduction and investment left ab- aIutely nothing of enduring value fer the Territory and its citizens except small ghost town which has become a minor tourist attrac- ten"
 Eartlett cautioned Alaskans not te fpse sight of the absolute neces- sifY Of long range development of natural resources.
 fseg. HeiEtzleman cited as wor- thy uf consideration these provi- sious of the Hawaii constitution: A lowered voting age, strong execu- tive, Limitations on the pocket veto and ice-boxing' of bills in legisla- tive committees, development of To- cal government in full accord with the will of the people, conservation of natural resources and broad land utilization, automatic reap portionment of representation ev- cry ten years on the basis of regis tered voters and, finally, limita- tions to 20 of the number of de- partments.n
 Fifty-three of the fifty-five dele gates were present at the opening. Mildred Hermann of Juneau was elected temporary chairman.
 Delegate Bartlett's concluding statement to the assembled con- vention was: There are those in Alaska and in the United States who have argued that Alaska is not yet ready for statehood bes cause it's people lack political ma furity.' have not yet settled in my own mind that that statement is capable of precise definition But ! do know that one aspect of ma turity is the ability to manage ones own resources. This conven- ton can demonstrate to the Con- gress and the people of the United States at least this aspect of politi- cal maturity by giving notice Chat Alaska's resources will be admini- stered, within the bounds of hut man limitations and shortcomings, for the benefit of all the people:

NEW YORK (GlobaD-lt was
welcome news that Joe Black

everybody knows, he literally
carried the team on his back IN
one OF their most successful sea-
sons.
II was welcome news. also.
that Joe seems 10 know what
went wrong and why he wasn't
able 10 deliver the goods As he
was expected to.
Those months back in the
minors. designed TO give Joe
more work on his weak spots,
seem to have served in addition,
to give Joe chance TO analyze
himself. He came up with a few
very thoughtful comments on his
predicament last year and what
caused it.
II seems too many cooks spoil
the broth, and Joe was a victim
of too much advice. Not salts
fled with a guy who could fire
the ball past any batter and
make him look silly, II seems
they tried to mess around with
Joe's repertoire.
Sure. he had q good fast ball.
but he needed other pitches.
So they went 10 work on him
and II seems Joe found himself
out on the mound trying 10 be
the kind Of pitcher somebody
said he ought 10 be instead OF
the fireman he was.
Well, anyway, we hope Joe has
found the formula by now. He
seems 10 have. He seems to want
Just TO be himself. Let's hope the
masterminders leave II that way.
Why does he need a variety OF
pitches when three good fast
balls will send a batter back TO
the dugout?
