Election Code Substitution Bill Offered In House

JUNEAU, LR - The House Ju- dietary Committee has come up with substitute for the election code bill introduced two weeks ago by the Legislative Council.
 Chairman John Hellenthal said the proposed measure will provide an election code containing "under one cover . ;. all state election laws"
 The committee measure pro- poses administrative control over elections be placed in the office of the Secretary of State rather than under control of the judicial branch of government as at present.
 Hellenthal said continuation of court administration appears to be impractical and likely illegal" He said this viewpoint was supported by State Supreme Court Justic Walter Hodge, who appeared before the committee.

After Year in Office Herter Hopes
For Step Toward Disarmament "a

Yet the two men had not
formed any close personal re-
lationship, whereas Mr.. Eisen-
hover had worked in complete
intimacy with Mr.. Dulles.
The first months of Mr..
Herter's service as Secretary
we're badly complicated by this
fact. At times it appeared-as
in the case of the decision to
invite Mr.. Khrushchev to
Washington-that Mr.. Herter
was not so much consulted by
the President as he was in
formed of what the President
already had decided to do.
The Eisenhower-Herter re-
lationship has grown much
closer, but it is not and never
will be in the same pattern as
the Eisenhower-Dulles rela-
tionship. On the major ques-
tions, the President now has
a very active personal role in
making foreign policy. During
the Dulles rule at the State
Department, he was guided by
the advice Of the man whom
he considered to be the great
est Secretary Of State in his
tory.

Relaxed In Work
He has much more relaxed
work habits than those of his
predecessor, just as he lacks
Mr.. Dulles sense of complete
personal responsibility, even Of
destiny. in the management of
foreign policy.
Mr.. Herter has two main
hobbies-Bridge and baseball.
Curiously, though Mr.. Herter
and Mr.. Eisenhower are both
bridge players, they haven't
made a habit of playing to-
gether. With his usual modesty,
Mr.. Herter protests that he is
not in the Presidents class at
the bridge table.
Mr.. Herter's outstanding
achievement, following Mr..
Eisenhower's lead, has been to
employ the flexible resources of
personal diplomacy to keep
crises from going to the brink
of disaster and to hold open
the possibility that in the clos
ing months Of his career some
understanding may be reached
with Russia which would begin
to reverse the ominous tide Of
history.

couraged his moves with en-
thuSiaSm.
The result has produced a
series of negotiations between
the Western powers and Rus
sia which would have been in
conceivable during the Dulles
regime. Diplomats describe
what has happened by saying
that the cold war has come
out of the trenches and onto
the fields Of political maneuver.
This stands out as the main
characteristic of Mr.. Herter's
year as State Department head.
The forces which produced the
change, however, were actually
beyond his control.
Reaction to Berlin Threat
The real initiative came from
Mr.. Khrushchev when he
threatened in 1858 to squeeze
the Western powers out of Ber-
lin unless they granted some
new status for the city or vol
unfairly withdrew. The threat
of crisis produced the Geneva
Foreign Ministers conference
which occupied Mr.. Herter's at
tention from the day he was
sworn in as Mr.. Dulles success
sor-April %, 1959-until last
fall.
When the Geneva negotia-
tionS were on the point of
breaking down without produc-
ing a resolution of the Berlin
crisis. Mr.. Eisenhower stepped
in with decision to invite Mr..
Khrushchev to visit the United
States. This and his subse-
quent conversations with Mr..
Khrushchev put the Berlin
crisis on the shelf for months
and opened the way for the
impending summit conference
at Paris.
Issue Dominates Year
The Berlin issue thus domi-
mated Mr.. Herter's first year
as Secretary of State. He
feels that although the West
was on the defensive against
Russian presSureS, the year
year was a successful one. 1t
was successful because a Ber-
lin showdown with its poten-
tial war-breeding dangers was
avoided.
But it failed to produce a
formula for resolving the dis
pute. 1t also failed to give the
Western powers the initiative
in their conflict with the So
Wet Union.
Mr.. Herter became Secretary
under difficult personal con-
ditions. He had been in the
State Department for two
years as Undersecretary.
When Mr.. Dulles was inca
pacitated by cancer, the Presi-
dents choice of Mr.. Herter to
succeed him was automatic.

ASSOClhteQ EEeSb GLau writer
Christian A. Herter will walk
out of his Office at the State
Department nine months from
now. climb into a long black
automobile. and drive away into
the obscurity of private life.
He contemplates his depar-
ture from the power and glamor
of world affairs without regret.
Modesty. not vanity, is the Her
ter hallmark.
But modesty does not exclude
ambition. Mr.. Herter has one
overriding aim for his work as
Secretary of State between now
and the end of the Eisenhower
era next January 20. This aim
guides his plans for the summit
conference next month. for
President Eisenhower's visit to
Russia in June, and for other
East-West negotiations which
may follow.
Wants Disarmament Deal
Mr.. Herter wants to start
turning the course of history
away from local disaster. He
wants to begin to chain the
wild, destructive atom and set
the brakes on the nuclear-
powered machines of war. He
wants, specifically, to make a
first-step disarmament deal
with Russia.
No American leader has been
able to bring off such deal in
a dozen years of trying. Mr..
Herter, though working with
the waning powers of an out
going administration, holds
guarded hopes for a miracle. He
thinks Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev may be ready soon to
make a limited accord. He
thinks the least the United
States can do is exploit the
possibility.
An accord with Russia would
bring dramatic drop in East
West tensions. This could lead
to a weakening of NATO and
other United States alliances
which are largely held together
by fear Of the Soviet Union.
Fears IsOlatiOnism
A drop in tensions also could
release a new wave of isolation
ism in the United States-or
so Mr.. Herter believes. He has
been amazed during his travels
in this country, he recently
told friends, by the extent to
which his fellow citizens yearn
for the illuSory good old days"
Of low taxes and no foreign aid.
But Mr.. Herter is willing to
take risks for disarmament. In
this he seems to have the full
support of President Eisesn-
hover. Indeed his own ideas
may be mainly a reflection of
the Presidents, although their
eye-to-eye view could result
from the coincidence Of two
Optimistic temperaments.
There can be no doubt that
in the crowded year since the
late John Foster Dulles re-
signed as Secretary of State a
remarkable change has come
over the tactics of United
States diplomacy and the at
titudes of the men who boss
Unietd States foreign policy.
