 Three Consuitants
 The three cOnsultants present when tho constitution was signed agreed that the apportionment provided for in the constitution will give Alaska the first truly representative legislature in it's history.
 Alaska is appoftioned into 24 election districts from which 40 members of Che house are select cd entirely oh a basis of pnpu- lation. The 24 districts are merged into 12 senate districts from which one senator each Is elected. Then the l2 senate dis tricts are merged into four larg- cr districts roughly correspond ing to present divisions, with two senators at large being elected from each Of the four districts
 Local Government
 Local government in Alaska iS invested by the constitution only in cities and boroughS. Actually a borough is a streamhRed form af the old county. There are in- corporated b0roughs which pro- vide their own local government, or unincorpDrated borou 2 h " where citizens assume limited local responsibility while the state provides whatever assist pnce is needed. The constitution leaves tu the future legislature the task of establishing bound aries for tho bOrnughs
 The constitution endeav0rs Go eliminate duplication 0f services. and friction. which frequently arises between county govern ment and city government In the us.
 The governing body of a bor- ough will be an assembly which shall include one or more mem- bers of the city council from whatever municipality that may lie within the borough's bound aries. Thus the governing of the borough will be done jointly hy the city and county or bor- ough as it IS called in Alaska. The expression borough as used in the constitution IN strictly name. and Is not linked in any manner with the type of hor- oughs that exist in New York or Pennsylvania

See Prejudice
Against Africans
In India

London, July 16 - Africans are
complaining of being ostracized in
India, according to the Correspon-
dent in India of the liberal news
paper Manchester guardian"
1t is less a "racial discrimina-
ton" than "a matter of aesthetics"
the correspondent said. He admit
ted that the Indian Government
does everything possible to please
Africans, but he adds that these
efforts are not successful, because
Africans demand too much.
They expect, he said, that all
the Indians they meet know Afri-
ca, and they are disappointed over
the fact that Indians believe they
all belong to a single tribe &C.
cupying the whole of Africa.
The African students are also
displeased to be kept out of the
Indian families; this social boy
colt" appears to them as bad as
that of the most reactionary ele-
ments in South Africa.
1t must be admitted that there
exists in the Indian middle class
and even in the higher class, a

laxity that would not be permitted
in other parts Of the city. This
situation-arising perhaps in part
from white feelings of superiority,
but as we'll from a desire to avoid
friction-works against the efforts
of Negro community leaders to up
grade their area. Like building
code violations which city inspect
ors do not report, this attitude
permits newcomer immigrants to
gain misconceptions as to what
will be required Of them as Chi
cagoans one day, Mr.. Waters be-
lieves.
Political strength is indicated
again by the city's early and con-
tinuing official efforts to obtain
fair employment for Negro Chi
cagoans, in official willingness
latter the Supreme Court ruling
outlawing restrictive covenants)
to assign police for protection of
Negro employees in city govern
ment. Departmental employers
must be certain beyond doubt that
they fail to hire Negroes solely be
cause of probable inability to carry
out duties given them-not because
of race. Private employers-un-
subject to the same political pres
sure-can resolve the doubt with
greater latitude.
The end mark of the measure Of
Negro political strength in Chicago
is what it cannot--as yet-obtain:
living room.
White Resistance
Negro aldermen, Negro spokes-
men in Springfield and in Wash
ington have been able to stir gov
eminent interest in the Negro slum
dweller's plight, to obtain funds
for vast public housing projects
for the low-income Immigrant and
land-clearance moneys for BULLDOG
ing clear the sites for future
middle-class apartments. But no
effort has been sufficient to ex-
pand the confines of. the Negro
community fast enough to lessen
the population pressures within it.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1956-07-21

groes have been admitted to voter
lists, even in relatively small de-
grse.
Here in q city with five Negro
aldermen (out Of 6O), eight repre-
sentatives and one senator in
Springfield tout of 1853 and 51),
and one Negro representative to
Congress-, the Negro resident has
a political voice public employees
and officials can i'll afford to
disregard. Here as well, the sue
cessful Negro businessman, doctor,
or lawyer may more easily earn
community standing in his own
right, exclusive of his recourse to
his representatives for justice.
Incidents do occur, to be sure.
Hardly a week goes by that we
don't get some complaint about po-
lice mistreatment," says Enoc p.
Waters, executive editor of the
Chicago Defender, the Negro COM
munity's central artery of commun-
ication. "But, in fairness you
have to ask frequently How au-
thentic is the complaint And
if the complaint involves police
mishandling, he adds: "You must
ask, Was it deserved u know
that sometimes it is"
One may further measure the
length of the Negro commuity's
political shadow by reports that
Black Belt voters, organized, it
is said, by Representative William
L. Dawson, into the biggest and
tightest Negro political machine
in the country, dictated that for
mer Mayor Martin Kenelley be
scratched from the local Demo-
cratic slate. Or an observer may
note that police do not treat all
Negroes identically, no more than
do white residents or visitors re-
ceive equally level measures of
scorn or apology-or equal tickets.
Policemen Appraise
up here all Negroes don't look
alike" says Editor Waters with a
pleasant smile. eff a policeman
stops you for running a stop light,
he looks at you. He looks at your
car, at the way you dress. He
listens to the way you falkland
then he knows how to act"
If an occasional policeman may
still show open prejudice, as by
distorting the evidence in an auto
crash involving Negro and white
drivers, as in a recent case Mr..
Waters describes, the victim is not
without means to be heard. 1t also
happens that there are Iaw-enforce-
ment men who, in the eyes Of Ne
gro leaders, lean too far in the
other direction.
Official Efforts

Although the election year fever
