sworn into office earlier at the same time Dimond donned judi cial robes, was not present for the ceremonies. He was out of town on court business.
 Earlier, the governor had signed an executive order activating the new Public Safety Department one of 12 created by the first state legislature. The new department combines the police functions along with civil defense and fire protection in one agency.

 Still to be activated in new form are the State Department of Education and the new Depart ment of Military Affairs.
 Under terms of the Reorganiz- ation Act, the activation must be completed by early October.
 The State Board of Education is scheduled to meet at Anchorage Friday to consider it's recommen- dation for appointment of state Commissioner of Education.

Paris Gives Ike Tremendous Welcome

PARIS, LR - President Eisen- hover and President Charles De Gaulle began their conferences in Paris today in a "good and en- couraging atmosphere"
 They both described the first talks in that manner, White House Press Secretary James Hagerty said.
 Hagerty said, except for inter prefers, it was a private one hour talk in De Gaulle's office with no one else present.
 The President made a happy and triumphal entry into Paris, riding beside De Gaulle
 Crowds estimated at half a mil lion jammed the center of the city, cheering and shouting as the World War II leaders drove past in an open car, on their way to conferences crucial to the West ern alliance.
 It was greeting reminiscent of the day in 1914 when Eisenhower was cheered as iberator of Paris. Officials and newsmen said the turnout appeared greater than that for Eisenhower's arrival in London.
 Eisenhower is the first Ameri- can president to pay state visit to France since Woodrow Wilson came after World War I.
 And France greeted him with all the pomp and ceremony she could muster-a booming 101-gun salute, blaring bands and squad ron of GA white gloved motor cycle escorts flanking the presi- dential car.

Cheng Will Re-enter
 University of Michigan

JUNEAU, R- The number of polio cases reported this year in Alaska has reached 12.

Labor Bill Hits Snag

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. John Kennedy reported today a con- struction site picketing snag had caused a sharp setback to hopes for quick final agreement on a labor bill.
 Kennedy said the House par .liamentarian had ruled that con- struction picketing provision pushed by the Senate Democratic conferees could be killed on a point of order if it were included in the final bill.
 Senate Democratic conferees have been insisting that construc- ton site picketing be exempted from a general ban on secondary boycotts in the bill.
 The problem arises because picketing against one subcontrac- tor can close down all operations at the site and thus affect other subcontractors with whom the union has no dispute.
 President Eisenhower in his January labor message asked that construction site picketing be ex- empted from a ban on secondary boycotts.

 The President should order studies to determine if merger would be the best course of action, the committee said.
 The committee did not call for incorporation of the Navy into one big military service, but it said this might be done "ulti mately, if weapon logic dictates. :"

ANCHORAGE, R-Vernon h. gram, chief negotiator for the AL aska Council of Carpenters, said Monday he is discussing with Walter Hickel the possibility of forming local association of building contractors for the pur- pose of negotiating an indepen- dent working agreement.
