Vocation Results
From Suffering
Italian Refugees

NAPLES, Italy-A priest who
celebrated his first Solemn Mass
at the refugee camp of Canzanella
here said that his vocation was
inspired by the suffering of his
fellow refugees.
Father Raoul Beck, S.J., who
was recently ordained, came to
the refugee camp Immediately
after the former Italian territory
of Venezia Giulia fell under Yugo-
s,av control following World War
II. He said that he became a
priest so that he could remain in
the midst of the refugees.
All refugees at the camp here
came from Venezia Giulia. Some
are without clearly defined citi-
zenship status. Others do not
wish to return to Red Yugoslav
territory and have asked for asy-
lum in Italy.
Numerous ecclesiastical and
civic leaders attended Father
Beck's first Solemn Mass.

Million Per Year
Japan Should
Lease Land
Priest Saws

ToKYo-NC) - Father Will
lam A. Kaschmitter, NM, for
mer editor of the Tosei news
agency here, said there is great
need for Japan to have agricuI-
tural settlements abroad If the
country Is to solve its major prob
lem of over-population.
Japan, ne said, should leave
land for small and widely scatter
ed settlements in countries where
land is still available. Politically,
these settlements should remain
the property of the immigration
country while economically they
should form an integral part of
the hiring country, he added.
japanese immigrants could in
that way become agriculturally
self.sufficient, according to the
priest. He suggested that their
farming products should be sold
in Japan at prevailing cost here.
The American Maryknoller
pointed out that the population
of Japan shows an annual in
crease of 1000, 900 persons. There
are now 10000 inhabitants in
an area of about $4,000 square
miles.

VIENNA-(NC) - A Church

Yugoslavia that anti-communist
propaganda placed in their mail
boxes is trap planted by enc.

The information here stated
that the letters were supposedly
sent by exiled members of the

organization, and that they we're
found in the letter boxes of many
priests and prominent Catholic
laymen.
The Bishops of Yugoslavia were
reported to have instructed the
clergy to hand over at once to

ditious" letters or leaflets.
1t was learned here that the
anti-Tito letters really came from
the Communist Party's printing
offices in Yuoglsavia and were
distributed by the Red secret po-
lice. Many innocent persons fell
into the trap, it was reported,
and were questioned by police on
how they managed to maintain

The convoy was stopped and its

Constitution To Be
Signed Sunday in
University Gym
By FLORENCE DoUTHIT

FAIRBANKS, R-The official
signing of the Alaska State Con-
stitution by its SIS trainers will
take place Sunday, Feb. 5, at 2
pm. on the University of Alaska
campus.
This was the decision Saturday
of Constitutional Convention del
egates, who also voted to hold the
historic ceremony in the uniVer-
sity's old gymnasium-the largest
room on the campus-rather than
in the chambers where the docu-
ment is being drafted.
Most delegates voiced senti-
mental preference for the small,
cheerful, glass and drapes-rimmed
room in which all plenary SEES
siops have been held since the
first began Nov. 8.
But James Doogan of Fairbanks
expressed the prevailing view
during Saturdays discussion of
ceremony arrangements.
"This room is where our heart
u.s." he told the delegates, "but
there's no room for the public
here. It's the peoples constitu-
ton we're going to be signing"
It is believed the document will
be sent to Palo Alto, Calf, where
a former chief designer of the
Government Printing Office will
prepare one handwritten copy. 1t
is probably that either parchment
or paper of 100 percent rag con-
tent will be used.
The regulations which created
the convention require that five
printed copies be signed by every
delegate.
If a handwritten copy is not
ready in time for the signing, only
the last page will he used in the
ceremony. This is the way it hap
pened in both the Federal ConSti-
tuition and the Bill of Rights.
The constitution will contain
about 10000 words.
The only article of substance
still to be considered in second
reading is ordinances and transi-
tional measures.

Convention OKs System of Local
Government With Borough as Unit

FAIRBANhS, Rl-DelegdteS 10
the Constitutional Convention
Friday approved system of local
government for the proposed state
of Alaska.
The local government commit
tee plan for dividing the whole of
Alaska into units of local govern
ment went through its second
reading without much change, in
GLIDING the much-talked-of name
for the units of local government.
The delegates decided that
Borough" would do.
Committee members fastened
to insist the pronunciation is not
as in 'fburroW" but, rather, as in
''boreWaoh.
In a windup debate, observers
termed quaint" five delegates
who opposed the name burough
spent three minutes each defend
ing these titles for the local units:
county, canton, province, division
and district.
In the first vote, borough got
81 votes and county Is, with the
other four trailing in the distance.
Then, to prevent a time-consum-
ing series of votes, six delegates
changed their decisions to the
word burough and the rush was
on
The major controversy of the
committees plan for local govern
ment was Waged over the issue of
school districts. Maurice johnson,
Fairbanks, moved to amend the
article so as to allow school dis
tricts to operate on basis of
financial independence.
Ed Davis of Anchorage support
ed this, claiming he had seen
cases in his city where street
pavement won out over added
school facilities and teachers.
Johnson's amendment was to
add school districts to this section:
AL local government powers
shall be vested in boroughs and
cities. The state may delegate tax
ing powers to organized boroughs
and cities only"
Warren Taylor of Fairbanks
then moved to add public utility
districts, health districts and pub
lie improvement districts, along
