Reaching Up

TO be alive and breath free air,
Feel heavens warm breath brush your hair.
How wide the stride that free men brinos,
Or fresh and firm the free voice sings.
But bondage bells will take their tolls,
In weightless walk and heavy stroIIs.
For body lean and limp and bent,
Your sorrow sings with many means.
Why must one bend so low
While all can stand erect?
Burdens fall on shoulders all,
And life becomes the wreck.
Man who is all men in one,
Stand Up! Stand Up!
In Gods name raise up your heads.
Miseries suffered through your ills
viii suffered be to thee
The sdoer receives in return
Bondages he would deem.
We should not from fear for, ourselves,
Release the shackIes we. have forged.
But look within for Joys we love
And bestoW them on all we know.

WARSAW, R - Vice Presi- dent Richard M. Nixon visited the site of mass executions during World War II yesterday, then made a plea for the end of racial prejudice as he stood on the spot of Warsaw's destroyed Jewish ghetto.
 He coupled his pleas with the warning there must never be another war because cities such as Warsaw would be destroyed.
 Standing before the remains of a bombd-out building where Jews fought in their last bunker to re- sist "the most indescribable suf- fering of the Jewish people in Poland and other countries Nix on said:
 "As we move into what we hope will be a period of peace and of good will, whatever be our economic or social philosophies, we must all unite to fight against prejudice and racial hatred be- cause here is what happens when such passions are released"
 Earlier he went to Palmiry For est where he laid a wreath on the site of graves of 2,200 Poles slaughtered in Nazi mass execu- tions early in World War II.
 He laid special wreath on the grave of Janusz Kusocinsk, Po- lands 10000 meter run winner in the Los Angeles games in 1892.
 The track star was one of the most noted victims buried at the spot, about 13 miles north of Warsaw.
 The Vice President was the first foreign dignitary to visit the site.
 In his statement on the spot where the ghetto stood, Nixon said "This should help us realize the

destruction another war would bring the world. Nothing would be left in a great city such as this if atomic bombs hit their mark. \.
 ''This nation has suffered enough. These people have suf- fered enough. -. All this makes it most important to avoid any thing that would allow Poland to be bombed again."
 Nixon also visited the Wars zawa Huta, giant steel mill about 15 miles north of the city, before he went to Warsaw University to talk with the faculty. Students gathered outside in the courtyard to cheer him.
 At least 1,5O0 students chanted Long Live America" and pressed flowers on the Vice Prsident in a demonstrative episode.
 The students three years ago represented fermenting force against Stalinist restrictions.
 As in all his public appearances Nixon received cheers from hun dreds that seemed magically to appear all along his route. They scattered flowers in the road and thrust bouquets into his car.

ACC Warns Strike Continuance Will Force Shutdown

ANCHORAGE, LR - The~board of directors of the Associated Gen. eral Contractors, composed of rep resentatives for active contractors, has announced it will be 'econom- ically unfeasible" for Alaska con- struction jobs to resume opera tions if the carpenters strike lasts 10 more days, local representa- tive of the ACC said Monday.
 William s. Hibberd explained that this deadline is dictated by the weather and not by the ACC. The cost of resuming and then covering up again for the winter would be too expensive for the short work period that would be possible, he said.
 Hibberd said further that as of Saturday night, no hearing date by the National Labor Relations Board field examiner had been set on the AGC's charges against the carpenters.
 Hibberd and representative of Morrison Knudsen Co. said if jobs are not resumed this year crash program will be in effect next year.
 The effect of such program, using twice the normal number of workmen, would nullify the eff feet of the preferential hiring ar engagements which they have agreed to, they explained.
 Since thee are not enough con- %struction men available in the state, many would have to be brought in from the outside, they said.
 Commenting on the appeal by Governor Egan which was directed to both the ACC and the Carpen- ters Council, Vernan Ingram, head of the Carpenters negotiating committee said:
 'No meetings have been set with the ACC because of Cover nor Egan's appeal"

Daniels BIames Faulty
Equipment For His
Recent Unending

Rep. Kermit Daniels (D-Powell)
wants it publicly stated that he did
not fall over in his chair last week
because he was asleep at his desk,
as some of the kilograms he has re-
ceived from constituents indicated.
He said it is the faulty equipment
provided by the state for poor twenty
dollar day legislators.
In defense of Daniels it might be
said, more legislators would probably
find themselves at some time during
the session flat on their backs from
leaning back in their swivel chairs,
except for the fact the rest are
between desks. Daniels is in
the back row with nothing to hold

Lawyers Come Off Second
Best In Battle With
Laymen On Judges Pay

What to pay district judges (HB
1861 was fraught with motions and
amendments before it finally passed
general orders Friday morning with
salary increase of $1,000 a year.
The bill originally asked for pay
increase of $4,000, from $4,000 to
$12,500. The first motion was to
strike the enabling clause. The first
amendment was to bring the amount
down to $4,000. An amendment to
the amendment asked for $4,000.
1t finally passed general orders at
$4,000. The increase would be fl
nanced by increased fees paid by liti-
giants in court cases.
1t was an interesting study 4in
prejudices to listen to the arguments
against the increase develop. The
legal fraternity tried to impress the
laymen with the fact this would mean
better judges, thus better justice.
They felt younger men could aspire
to judgeships. They said a practicing
lawyer could make more money than
$l2,500, accidentally.
The laymen thought there were
plenty of candidates seeking judge
ships, that money wasn't going to
determine quality of judges. They
voted $4,000. \
