FBI Breaks
Brink Robbery

BOSTON, Up = Joseph Specs
O'Keefe, At, one of II men named
by the FBI as perpetrators of the
fabulous $1,218,111 Brink robbery
six years ago, went into Suffolk
County courthouse under heavy
guard to tell grand jury what
he knows about the nations big
gest haul.
Dist. Atty. Garrett H. Byrne
told newsmen he would first ad-
dress the grand jury himself.
Asked if he got a full state
ment from O'Keefe last night,
Byrne made it clear he could not
disclose - except to the grand
jury-anything O'Keefe said. The
appearance of O'Keefe before the
grand jury is the only hint thus
far as to how the case was
broken.
Byrne said he would ask for
indictments against 10 individ-
uals, six were taken into custody
yesterday by the FBI in swift
raids, two others are still at
large. O'Keefe and another man
are serving prison terms. The
l1th member of the group is
dead.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
yesterday announced solution"
of the case.
None of the loot was recovered.
Within hours of Hoover's an
nouncement, the six newly-ar-
rested men were arraigned before
a federal commissioner and held
in bail totaling $670,000.

Delegates Rush to Finish Drafting
Constitution; Z Articles Still to 90
By FLORENCE DoUTHIT

FAIRBANKS, R = With two
thirds of their precious time used
up and seven articles still to be
considered, delegates to Alaska's
Constitutional Convention are in
the midst of a wild rush.
There are Is days and nights
left in which to draw up con-
stitution for what they hope will
become the 49th state
The red letter day is Feb. 6,
sometime III the forenoon. Since
Jan. 9, the delegates have been
working a 13-hour day, from 9
am. to 10 pm. In the last eight
days, they have completed consid-
Grafton of five of the II substan-
tive articles of the constitution.
Rushed by not panicky and un-
willing to sacrifice S e co n d
thought for the sake of speed,
most of the delegates still are try
ing to give each issue careful con-
sideration, no matter how many
time consuming amendments to
amendments this involves.
One school of thought, held by
a few, is that committee reports
on the various articles should be
accepted pretty much as they are
presented.
"Quit hacking away at it," say
proponents of this view. Let it
go the way it is"
But this is only a voice in the
background to delegates w h o

Be Tried For Sanity
Despite Psychiatric Report

DENVER, R-An Alaskan has
been listed as a prosecution wit
ness in the case Of John Gilbert
Graham, for whom a jury trial
is to start March 5 to determine
is he was sane last Nov. | when

airliner that hurled his mother

dorsed another 81 persons who

They include Rinehard Hablut-
eel of Spenard, Alaska, Graham's
brother-in-law. He has not been

ant on his plea of innocent by
reason of insanity was ordered

Air Force Chief Says US.
Air Power Alone Deters
Reds Aggressive Designs

OKLAHOMA CITY, Up - Gen.
Nathing F. Twining declared to-
day that Americas air power
not its land and sea forces-has
kept Russia from attacking the
United States.
1.-THE Soviets fear our power
in the air, and air power has been
the main reason for our peace
and safety so far" the Air Force
chief of staff said in a speech
for the OKLAHOMA City Cham
Der of Commerce.
Twining conceded that air
power had not deferred the Com
munists from invading South
Korea, and had not saved the
French from defeat in Indochina,
but he said these happenings did
not detract from "the one i'm
portant fact" that, as he put it:
"Our American air power has
kept the one great potential en-
envy from attacking us. That has
been and will be the real danger
to us here at home"
Twining said the Soviets do not
fear American land and naval
power because the U.S.S.R. has
overwhelming strength on the
ground" and is not dependent on
using the seas.

Early Days of Nome Are Subject
OF ll-Page Saturday Evening Post
Article By Mrs. Klondy Dufresne

, Eleven pages of the December
oath edition of the Saturday Eve
ming Post are covered with pic
lures of Nome and Council in the
gold rush days, and accompanied
by a story by Mrs. Frank Du-
fresno, better known to Alaskans
as Klondy Nelson.
Pictures of Front Street before
the days of the snow plows show
snow drifts as high as the second
story windows. There are also
early mining scenes; Front Street
in front OF the old ''tin bank"
famous Nomeites such as Rex
Beach and Tex Richard and
many other pictures which will
bring back memories to the older
residents and confirm stories that
newcomers find hard to believe.
Anyone here knowing the To-
cation of the house pictured on
Page 70, please get in touch with
the Nugget as there have been
inquiries about it.
Corey Ford, well-known Alas
kan author, elaborated with
Mrs. Dufresne on the story. In the
Keeping Posted" column of the
Post, he relates how the story
came to be written.
The explanation states that 20
years ago, Ford went fishing in
Alaska with writer Frank Du-
fresno who then was Alaska's
game commissioner, and when he
got to know Dufresne's wife
Klondy, he figured that her fas-
cinating early life in frontier
Nome would make a swell story.
Klondy agreed to collaborate,
but it took them nineteen years
to finish the story.
Their main writing problem
was Klondy's natural modesty.
They arranged for a neighbor of
Klondy's in Seattle to take down
her "reminiscences.

Kefauver Asks
Voting at IS

MINNEAPOLIS. Feb. 81 (P.-
Dropping the voting age to 10
cannot bring anything but good
for the Nation and the time for
such legislation is now, Senator
Kefauver, Democrat of Tennes-
see, said today.
The Senator told University
Of Minnesota convocation audi
ence that such a change is
needed, "if only to keep the Ma
ton on an even electoral keel. !"
"wat I mean" Senator Ke-
fauver said in his prepared text.
lis that the life expectancy is
going up and up. and every year
our society contains a larger
number of old people. Conse-
quently the decisions we make at
the polls are coming to reflect a
disproportionate weight of judg-
ment by the aged. -.
I'VE honor them and venerateI
them. But who can deny that
a persons outlook at 70 is diff
ferent than it was at 80? And
who will say that the older view
point is better than the younger,
or vice versa?
ideally, we should have a.
balance of viewpoints. The best
and easiest, and ! think the only
way to strike that balance, is toI
lower the voting age to 10 and
give youth its chance to be
heard"
Senator Kefauver's talk came
between visits TO st. Paul and
Minneapolis industrial plants
and luncheon with university
faculty MEMBERS He will wind
up his four-day Minnesota cam
paign tour with a public rally att
the Labor Auditorium tonight.
The Senator, opposing Adlail
Stevenson for Democratic dele
gates in the. States March 20l
presidential primary. ended his
outstate appearances last night
at Faribault.
There he told Junior Cham
Der of Commerce audience that
farmers purchasing power is the
lowest since 1910.
The farm depression is grad
ually affecting the whole econo-I
N.Y." he said. I'm a sound ma
tional economy we cannot have
soft spots A depressed segment
such as agriculture, is just as
undesirable and dangerous as a.
depressed geographic area. !
It is a great national problem,
not an issue between Democrats
and Republicans"

Ex-Convict

An ex-convict leaped or fell
over the railing of the Anacostia
Rivers Eleventh Street Bridge
early today and drowned despite
efforts of a Marine to save him.
The victim. police said. was
Roy B. Bardin, Is. of the 1400
block of Harvard street NV. His
body was recovered by harbor po-
lice only ID minutes after they
received the first call.
The Marine, Pvt. Ronald
Weaver, stationed at the Naval
Research Laboratory. leaped al
most fully clothed into the cold
water, swan 80 feet to the point
where Bardin sank and made at
least two dives in an effort to
find him.

for reargument of the case be-
fore a full bench.
No date for the reargument
was set, but the court said it
would be conducted as soon as
its business permitted.
The contempt charge against
Mr.. Watkins arose from his re-
fusal to tell the House Com

Red associates in the labor
movement.
Mr.. Watkins. who testified be-
