Red China government. So

ton it is not only dealing a
body blow to the prestige and
influence of the United Ma

slap at the United States,
which lost $4,000 killed and
10000 wounded in the Korean
war-all for the cause of COL
lective security and the ideals
of the United Nations.

latest example of ruthless
colonialism the world has
ever seen--the Soviet conquest
of Red China. Last week
U. S. News and World Report
published excerpts from a
copyrighted book entitled THE
True Story of Red China" by
Lucian Taire, a European bust
nessman who has just come
out of Red China after 80
years of continuous life there
and who writes:
1.-THE gravest illusion aff1ict-
ing Western attitudes is the
belief that China is a free
agent, that it can be circum-
scribed and contained, perhaps
even weaned from the Soviet
Union. The fact is, China has
been conquered almost as
thoroughly as if there had
been direct Soviet military
invasion, followed by the estab-
lishment of a Russian-model
military government that could
control the cumulative power
of $50 million people. -.
The outside world is not
fully aware of, or ignores, the
fact that slaughter on a stu
pendous scale accompanied the
much-lauded Communist land
reform. For more people were
killed in China during this his
toric shift of economic control
than died in Russia during the
bloody forced collectivization

Blizzard Took 2 Lives in Texas and New Mexico
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

The worst appeared over in the five-day blizzard that paralyzed Texas and New Mexico and claimed at least B lives.
 The storm subsided last night as winds lessened and the snow fall began diminishing.
 The US. Weather Bureau in Chicago said today that the storm front, or what remained of 1t, seemed to headed northeastWard.
 The storm, ranked by Texans as the worst in 50 years and tabbed as the worst ever by New Mexico citizens, made most roads impossible and caused the closing of several schools. Classes in PlainvieW, Amarillo and Lubbock remained closed today as the three Texas cities pushed cleanup efforts.
 The storm brought hardships along with the snow. Bus driver John Heron fought his way thru waist-high snow late Saturday for 12 miles to send rescue teams to his stalled bus with Is snow bound and shivering passengers.
 Heron completed the journey in 812 hours and arrived in Tu- cumcari, NM, snowblind, frost bitten and nearly hysterical. He is reported in good condition. The passengers stood the rigors with out serious effects.

FAIRBANKS, R-The Alaska Constitutional Convention pasted a 49th star on the flag yesterday and called upon the President and Congress to make the stitches permanent.
 Ending 75 days of deliberation, the convention adopted and then signed a basic set of laws for use when the sprawling territory is brought into the Union.
 And as what they hope will be a giant step toward statehood, the delegates wrote into the document a provision for immediate election of two US. senators and a repre- sentative who will work in the nations capital for a 49th state.
 Fifty-four of the 55 delegates who labored for two and a half months to draft the constitution were present for the simple and solemn signing ceremonies Sun day. One delegate, Juneau attor- ney R. E. Robertson resigned from the convention Saturday protest ing against some of it's contents.
 With more than 1000 Alaskans looking on, the delegates yester- day answered the final roll call and individually answered Aye to the question;
 "We have before us the pro- posed Constitution of the State of Alaska. Shall it be agreed upon?"
 At the front of the gymnasium on a slightly raised, carpeted plat form sat the president of the Con stitutional Convention, William A. Egan. Seated on his right was Frank Petrovich, Indian delegate from the Village of Klawock and vice president of the convention.
 On Egan's left was Ralph Riv- CTS, Fairbanks attorney and sec ond vice president.
 On a small platform below Egan was a plain office table. In the center of it was a series of IA parchment pages, each 13x18 inches in size. This was the con-

FAIRBANKS R-Alaska's con- stitution has been hailed by polit- ical science researchers as "one of the finest documents of it's type ever written"
 John E. Bebout, assistant di- rector of the National Municipal League with headquarters in New York; Emil J. Sadly, project su- pervisor for the Public Admins tration Service of Chicago, and Kimbrough Owen, professor of government for Louisiana State University, all agree the Alaska constitution is virtually what po- litical science authorities would consider a model constitution.
 "The constitution is not based on regional or group interests" !" said Bebout. "It includes only the fundamentals of government, and it sits the best out of United States experience"
 The three consultants were on hand during the closing days of the convention to advise dele gates. A total of more than 15 ex-
The Nome nugget., 1956-02-06

perienced conSultants were pres ent at the convention at various times to assist delegates during the "A days of work.
 The three consultantS agreed that an outstanding feature of the constitution is the fact that it comes closer to carrying out the classic pattern of Separation of powers" laid down by our found ing fathers than any other state constitution. They voted Alaska first, New York second and New Jersey third.
 Separation of powers in the Al aska constitution is achieved thru three strong departments, with each checking the others, and the people provided with checks on all three departments.
 EXECUTIVE
 The executive department is strong because only the governor and secretary of state are elective and they run on the same ticket in the final elections. All other department heads of the state e appointed by the governor. Fur

Preamble to Constitution Of Alaska

The preamble to the constitu- ton reads as follows:
 We. the people of Alaska. grateful 10 God and those who founded our nation and pio- neered this great land. in order 10 secure and transmit 10 suc- ceeding generations our heri- tage of political. civil and re- ligious liberty within the union of states. do hereby ordain and establish this Constitution for the State of Alaska"
 The proposed constitution coll sists of only 13,000 words, making it one of the most concise docu- ments of it's kind ever written.
 State constitutions sometimes range up to 15O,000 words and av- craze between 10000 and 100000
 Those who have read the Alas ka constitution have been struck by it's clear, concise style, reflect ing many hours of work by the Style and Drafting Committee. Ii is written in a manner that lay man can readily read and under stand.

US. and Foreign Experts Will Combine Skills for 1860 Winter Olympics

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy, R-The 1860 Winter Olympics in lovely but lonely Squaw Valley, high in the mountains of eastern California, will be staged through the combined skill of Americans and Europeans.
 "Already we have talked to dozens of fine European techni- cians," said Alexander Cushing, one of the sponsors of the 1860 games, before he left Cortina af- ter a three-week fact finding trip.
 "We will be in contact with many others to get their ideas and advice so that the 1860 games can be just as good as the games here in Cortina have been."
 Squaw Valley was awarded the games during a controversial ses- sion of the International Olympic Committee last June. The almost totally uninhabited valley won the games against the heavy op- position of Innsbruck, Austria, an established Tyrolean resort.
 An additional $4,000,000 is needed to stage the games and the LOG gave the organizers until April to get the money from the California Legislature, which will meet in March.
 Should the money not be forth coming, the IOC said the games would be shifted to Innsbruck.

Over 10000 Saw Winter Olympics

CORTINA D'AMPREZZO, Italy R-Eleven days of the greatest winter sports show on earth drew about as much in ticket sales as one good American heavyweight championship fight.
 It's too early to have exact fig ures. But here are some official estimations:
 Between 170,000 and 100000 spectators saw the games.
 They paid about 250 million lire ($4O0,000) for tickets-ranging from 500 lire (80 cents) for the right to stand shivering along a mountain slope to see the Skiers pass by, up to $500 lire ($6.00 for heated seat in the stand at the finish line.
 The ticket sales were just about what officials expected, since Cor tina is in an isolated location.
 The total cost of staging the games-about $8,200, 0,0O0-may be paid off in years ahead or by in- tangibles such as the publicity gained by Cortina as a sports re- sort or increase of tourists in It. ally. A large part of the funds came from the Italian Olympic Committee, which gets its money from a weekly soccer pool.

 However, the strong executive will be strictly accountable to the people, for there can be no "buck passing" When things go wrong, the governor is responsible and the people can take action against him directly on the simple ballot.

 The legislative department is strong because the constitution leaves so much for the future leg islatorS to accomplish, and be- cause the constitution puts no serious restrictions on it's power.
