New York
Fair Touted
By Senators

Republican Senators JavitS
and Heating Of New York today
touted their home town as the
site for the 1864 Worlds Fair.
They urged the Senate to
adopt a resolution, reported
yesterday by the House Foreign
Affairs Committee. authorizing
the President to invite foreign
nations to an international fair
in New York.
Washington and Los Angeles
both are being promoted as fair
sites, too, the Senators admit
ted. Senator Heating said local
residents would not be%"good
citizens" If they didn't support
Washington.
But New York has handled
such affairs requiring subStan-
tial amounts of money with
great success in the past" he
said. He predicted that WASH
ingtonians would seek funds
from Congress to help finance
an exposition here, and added:
Il doubt that Congress would
be disposed to put up the
money"
Spokesman for the Washing
ton Board of Trade favor the
Fulbright resolution recon-
mended by the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee to set up
a presidential commission to
investigate the feasibility Of
holding a fair and to recon-
mend a site to the President
and to Congress.
Senator Javits, whose first
proposal paralleling the House
measure was shelved by the
SENATE Committee, today
handed the Senate an alter
nate. In substance, it was the
same as the Senate resolution.
But it vested in the President
the specific power to choose an
appropriate site. upon the rec
ommendation of the presiden.
tial commission.

Special Notice
For Legislators,
Diplomats Set
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star stan Writer

The District Commissioners
decided today that members Of
Congress and foreign diplomats
who break the city's trafic
regulations will be given warm
ing tickets, rather than the
formal violation notices.
The written notices will be
issued for both parking and
traffic offenses.
Diplomats are immune to ar
rest. Members Of Congress on
official business cannot be ar.
rested for most traffic violations.
The Commissioners also de-
cided that the names Of persons
receiving the warning tickets
will not be made public.
Split on Publicity
Gen. A. C. yelling said he
thought that it would be adj
vantageous to make the list of
diplomatic violators available
to the newspapers. Commits.
sioner Robert Mclaughlin and
David B. Karrick disagreed.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said he felt
there would be "a kind of
blackmaIl" involved in permit
ting publication of the names
which would not enhance"
diplomatic relations.
Under the Commissioners
order visitors to the city,
other than those from nearby
Maryland and Virginia, will be
given the warning tickets for
parking violations. Police offi.
GERS may hand out the written
warning to out-of-town drivers
for minor moving offenses.
Police Chief Robert v. Mn
ray told the Commissioners
that he believed that warning
tickets should be "given very
sparingly" for non parking
violations by the visitors. In
general, he said, the exceptions
should be made in cases where
verbal warnings now are being
given.
Today's action followed an
announcement last June by the
House District Committee that
its stan will look into the city's
traffic ticketing practices. The
committee said that the in
quiry would be concerned main
ly with the unusually large"
: number of tickets issued for
{ minor violations.
Copies Of Notices
o Under today's order steps
n were taken to maintain an
: indirect curb Of violations by
e members of the diplomatic
n stats. AS has been the prac-
il tice with violation notices, Mr..
Mclaughlin explained, a copy
of the warning ticket will be
forwarded by the Commission
e ers to State Department ON.
O Gals for appropriate action.
: The warning tickets will be
i made out in triplicate with one
d copy for the violator and an
o other for police files. In the
e case of members of Congress
;. and visitors, the third copy will

y Bureau for parking offense,

London Couple Select Alaskans to Receive Infant

LONDON, R III Roy and Sheila Winkley announced today their unwanted unborn baby will go to an American couple living in Alaska.
 "We made our final decision after reducing the list to three couples in Alaska, New Jersey and the state of Washington, , Winkley said by telephone from his home in Timperley, Cheshire.
 But we won't announce the name of the couple for perhaps a fortnight because we want to give the fuss a chance to die down"
 Winkley said more than 100 let ters and a flood of cables and transatlantic telephone calls had been received from would-be fos- ter parents in the United States.
 The baby, expected in mid March, will be 27-year-old Mrs. Winkley's fifth. When the fohrth was born last year, she said she could not face the chores con- nected with raising another in fant A neighbor family adopted the baby girl
 Last week Sheila decided she felt the same way about the baby she is now expecting but would like to have it go to America ''be- cause there is more opportunity there"
 Winkley said it would be impos- sible to answer all the inquiries from America, 'Ibut please thank them all for us"
 Winkley said he thought the British press had been "a little unkind to me and Sheila about all this"
 The couple has been roundly denounced in various newspapers, especially in letters from readers.
 The theme of most of the let ters has been that if the Winkleys don't want babies, they should quit having them.

Capitol Shift
 Petition Sent to State Secretary

ANCHORAGE, R - Several hundred signatures were sent to Juneau today asking Secretary of State Hugh Wade to issue peti- tions calling for an initiative vote on relocating the State Capital, State Representative Earl Hill strand announced.
 Although there were several hundred signatures, mostly from McGrath, Homer, Seward and Palmer, only two signatures from Anchorage were included in the application" Hillstrand said.
 The application asks that the State Capitol be moved in 1865 to the railbelt-Cook Inlet area and that the proposal be placed on the ballot next November.
 Should the Secretary of State find the application in order, he will issue petitions which require the signatures of 10 per cent of the registered voters in two-thirds of the A election districts. Upon approval of the required sigma lures on the petitions, the meas ure would be placed on the Mo- vember, 1860, ballot.
 Circulating the petitions in the outlying areas on behalf of the Capitol Site Steering Committee, of which Hillstrand is president, were Representative Don Harris, McGrath; Quincy Benton, Homer; Sol Uric, Seward, and Al Saxton, Palmer.
 Hillstrand said no signatures were obtained from Nenana be- cause residents there construed the railbelt-C Cook Inlet area to mean the railbelt area along the Cook Inlet.
 ''This was not the intention of the description" Hillstrand said.

Unique Naturalization Ceremonies at Gambell Performed Yesterday

Probably the most unusual nat uralization ceremony ever per formed took place yesterday after noon at the Gambel airport. The subject was Cora Iya of Savoonga who was enroute to Gambell by dog team on Monday when Judge Vernon Forbes bestowed citizen ship on her sister Doris Uglowook of Gambell.
 Judge Forbes had made a spe- cial trip to the St. Lawrence Is- land community Monday to hold the naturalization ceremony for the two women but an extremely bad trail between Savoonga and Gambell delayed Cora Iya and she missed the Monday cere- mony. Judge Forbes and his party returned to Nome Monday night and held. a short term of court here Tuesday morning.
 During the afternoon it was learned that Cora Iya had reach ed Gambell, so Judge Forbes and party again flew to the island.
 It was about 2:3O in the after noon when the plane landed and since the subject was right there at the field Judge Forbes held the naturalization ceremony on the spot, under the wing of the plane. The entire proceeding con- stunned only about 20 minutes, and then the plane returned to Nome Judge Forbes then held another short term of court in the US. District Court late yes terday afternoon.

Veterans Day Rites Bring g Warning g of Pink InfiltratiOns
'tBy The Associated Press

The nation paid tribute today to veterans of past wars and heard a warning from a former top com mander that freedom could be lost by default to Communism. The warning was sounded by retired General Albert Wedemeyer in a talk at the Arlingtn National Cemetery amphitheater after a wreath was laid at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as climax of the national observance of Veterans Day.
 Throughput the nation and at military posts around the world similar ceremonies were held. There were parades, talks of glory and of death, and services in memory of the dead of past wars in most cities.
 ''We could lose our freedoms by default simply because we take them for granted" Wede- meyer told a crowd gathered at the Tomb of the Unknown Sol- dier, where General Lyman +. Lemnitzer, Army Chief of Staff, laid the wreath of memory.
 Every informed American knows that Communism has infil- trated in varying degrees into our schools, labor unions, churches and some branches of govern ment," Wedemeyer said.
 "This could never have hap pened were it not for false con- cepts of Americanism and the apathy of many of our fellow citizens"
 Still alive to receive the tributes are one Confederate veteran of the Civil War, 50 veterans of the Indian wars, 42,OOO Spanish American War veterans, 2,750,0OO veterans of World War I, 15, ,250,00O veterans of World War II, and B. 456OO Korean War veterans.
 Honored as well are the mil lions who fought for their nation and died.

Labor Secretary
 Eats Hat - Jobless Sum 5 Million Plus!

WASHINGTON, tR m Secretary Of Labor Mitchell today ate his hat - fedora made of cake - because unemployment failed to fall below three million last month as he had predicted.
 But Mitchell sent a slice apiece to the leaders of the steel strike which kept joblessness high, pres ident David Mcdonald of the United Steelworkers Union and the industry's top bargainer, Conrad Cooper.
 T was a couple of hundred thousand off in my predictions, due entirely to the steel strike, not to any weakness in our econ omy," Mitchell said
 Unemployment in October was 3,270,000 though employment was 66,80O,000, a record for the month.
 Mitchell in April predicted that by last month employment would rise to 67 million and joblessness would drop below three million.
 Whe n AFL-CIO President George Meany accused him of talking through his hat. Mitchell promised to eat his headpiece on the front steps of the Labor De- partment if he were proved wrong.
 Aides to the Secretary had hat made of cake so the boss wouldn't get indigestion paying off.
 Officials calculated that unem- ployment would have been in the neighborhood of 2,800,000, or nearly a half million less than the actual figures, if there had been no steel strike.

PORTLAND, R - Alaska must get special consideration in the 1860 Democratic national plat form written at the party's na- tional convention next June in Los Angeles, Oregon's Democratic National Committeeman said here Tuesday.

 Proposals like the construc- ton of the giant Rampant Dam and the paving of the Alcan Highway will, of course, continue to be strongly supported by the Democratic Party" he said,
