Rep. Pete Deveau Defends Tax Hike

Recent bills passed by the State were the subject of discussion at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Thursday noon at the Town Club. Rep. Pete Deveau spoke to the group and an swered questions on legislative matters.
 Deveau stated that tipping the State income tax, gas tax, and the other taxes which was done in the closing moments of the session, were necessary if the state was to remain solvent. We took the bull by the horn," he said, because if we didn't make provisions at this session for needed money to run the government, the tax raise would be double next year" De- veau outlined expected expenses and income to meet them. The ad- ded revenue next year" Deveau outlined expected expenses and in- come to meet them. The added rev. enue of $3, ,000, he said, would leave a surplus of more than $2 million.
 Bill Poland asked why the legis- lature didn't consider levying of a property tax in the outlying dis tricts, as well as the possibility of a statewide sales tax. Deveau count cred by stating that the former ter government passed such a measure but it was repealed in 1853. As to the sales tax he said, that was considered, but a straw vote taken indicated there wasn't a majority favoring it, and it wouldn't have had much chance of passage.
 Asked if there wasn't possi- bility of revenue from competitive oil land sales, Deveau stated: "You can't run the state on probabili- ties"
 Speaking on the ferry measure, the representative said it was a hard fight to get it through with the Kodiak Homer run intact. The pig opposition was from represent atives of areas such as Nome, Nc irath, etc, who were seeking roads. Southeastern remained loyal to Us when it was proposed to elim- mate the Kodiak run,' he said He predicted the Kodiak ferry would be in operation in July, 1862. He quoted figures showing it would pay it's way, with surplus from revenue after retiring the debt.
 The teachers pay bill came up next for discussion. Deveau quoted from a table which showed what teachers would make, with hikes all down the line. Also added to bheir salaries are grants from Dis tricts and Cities. It was brought out the raise would amount to $500 year in Kodiak.
 Deveau stated that an effort was made to more nearly equalize the Income of rural area teachers, who, he said, were underpaid." These communities couldn't compete with cities such as Anchorage in hiring teachers, he said.
 Sharp words were exchanged be-

 To the final gala of her three day visit to Paris-a banquet in the historic Hall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles-Presi- dent Kennedy's wife wore a gown of heavy white silk and matching coat made for her by Paris de- signer Hubert De Givenchy.
 It was the only French creation worn by Mrs. Kennedy during her visit. Already the toast of Paris, today she was even more popular because of her gesture.
 Mrs Kennedy's fashion surprise was a well-kept secret A press previeW of her wardrobe for the trip showed only American gowns and reporters were told she would wear a pink and white straw lace number by New York's Oleg Cas- sini to Versailles.
 Instead she wore the Cassini number Wednesday night to the Elysee Palace, then Thursday un- yelled the ensemble Givenchy made for her some weeks ago and secretly sent to America.
 The sleeveless gown had bell shaped skirt, high neckline and bodice embroidered in jeWelled rose, mauve and green floral de- sign.

Trujillo Jr. Leads Nation In Final
 Tribute to Father

CIUDAD TRUJILLO, Domini- can Republic R - Gen. Rafael L. Trujillo Jr., emerging as the political heir of his slain father, led the nation today in final tri- bute to the dictator.
 At one pont screaming crowd broke through police lines around the national palace and surged toward Generalissimo Rafael L. Trujillo's casket for a last look at the man who ruled their na- tion for 31 years.
 Fearing for the casket's safety, officials interrupted public view ing of the body and carried it away one hour early toward it's final resting place
 Funeral services took place at the San Cristobal Roman Catholic Church as throngs estimated to number 50,000 walled and wept. Burial took place there also, in the same atmosphere of grief.
 Absolute control of this Carib- bean nation now appears to have passed to Trujillo's oldest son, who has become commander in chief of the 25,000-man armed forces-the backbone of the gen. eraissimo's power.
 Rafael Jr., 32-made brigadier general at the age of 9 by his proud father was appointed Thursday night by President Joa- quin Balaguer and other gov ernment chiefs who served as front men for the generalissimo
 Young Trujillo's first job in preserving the family rule is to hunt down the small band of as- sassins led by a retired army gen. eral who amubushed the dictator Tuesday night as he was being driven from Ciudad Trujillo to bis country estate. The elder Tru- jillo, 69, fell fighting with re- volver in hand, a communique said.

State Supreme Court Rules That State Has Rig Int to Ban Fish Traps

JUNEAU tR - The State Su- preme Court, in a unanimous decision, today ruled that the state has the right to ban the use of fish traps for catching salmon, by Indians as well as whites.
 In a 76-page decision written by Chief Justice Buell. A. Nes- bett, the high court said the people of Alaska, in adopting Ordinance No. in the Statehood Referen- dunn, which abolished fish traps, "were not unaware that some economic adjustments would be required.
 'The pros and cons of the is- sue had been considered for many years. All persons engaged in the salmon industry had notice of the obvious trend.
 ". temporary inconvenience must be subordinated to a policy dedicated to preventing exploita- tion to annihilation of one of the greatest natural food resources known to mankind, to equitable regulation of seasonal harvests for the greatest benefit to the great est number, while conserving and rebuilding for poSterity."
 The Supreme Court decision was handed down in an appeal of a U. s. District Court decision by the Indian villages of Rake, An goon and Metlakatla.
 The long, involved court suit, which has already gone Up to the U. s. Supreme Court and which will probably return there, start ed on June Is, 1859, when the

state seized a fish trap owned by the village of Rake.
 Rake and Angoon claimed they had historic rights to operate their traps and had been author ized to do so by regulations is sued by the Department of the Interior.
 Metlakatla further contended that it's traps were located on tri- bal land and therefore were not subject to state law.
 Alaska contended that the U. s. Department of the Interior, in issuing regulations which per mitted the Indian traps to operate, had no right to 'extend it's arm into the regulation of commercial salmon fishing in Alaska in order to make welfare program out of that resource"
 The State Supreme Court, in it's decision today, said if the De- partment of the Interior were permitted to Wield absolute iur- isdiction over native fishing in Alaska, "only permanent chaos and conflict could result. The magnitude of the power claimed is such that the effect could be to render useless or futile any effort by the state to regulate" "
 The court said migrating schools of salmon, "While in in- land waters, are the property of the state, held in trust for the benefit of all people of the state, and the obligation and authority to equitably and wisely regulate the harvest is that of the state" "

Two Top World Leaders Ready To Meet En Vienna Tomorrow
President Ends Three-Day Talks with De Gaulle-
 Heads for Vienna Meeting
By John M. Hightower

PARIS LR - President Ken pedy and President De Gaulle to- day ended their three-day talks with a communique confirming agreement on their obligations and responsibilities toward West Berlin.
 The joint statement, issued on the eve of President Kennedy'S departure for Vienna and a meet ing with Premier Khrushchev, told of basic agreement between the two Western statesmen.
 Kennedy said The power of the United States, plus that of those countries associated with the United States is enough to give encouragement to any West ern leader, and I think MT Khrushchev has the same view" Kennedy said.
 He declared De Gaulle and he agree that the Western power rights in West Berlin must not be modified by force or the threat of force. Berlin will be among the problems he will discuss with Khrushchev.
 The Chief Executive also ex- pressed guarded hope that the Khrushchev conference will lead to progress in two separate East West negotiations under way at Geneva-on the future of Laos and on a nuclear weapons test ban.
 But Kennedy indicated his chief purpose in meeting with Khrush- chev is to try to avoid the danger of a miscalculation which could lead to war.
 ''It is important that we under stand his Khrushchev's) view point and the implications of it, and it is equally important that he understand ours"
 Kennedy said a study of three wars shows miScalculation as one of the causes. He evidently re- ferred to the two World Wars and the conflict in Korea.
 "The United States" Kennedy declared, "is united in it's deter imitation to fulfill its commit ments."
 And he said his talks with De Gaulle have given him a feeling of confidence and hope.

Two Youngsters Pulled
 To Safety from Boring Sea

Frankie Amarok, 9, and Char lie Koonuk, II, owe their lives probably to the quick thinking and acting of Carol Carlson and Sgt. David Bell Wesdnesday eve ming.
 The boys had ventured out on the rotting ice and fell through into the water which was over their heads. Carol saw that they were in distress and ran over the sea wall near the the AVG Armory and alerted Sgt. Bell, who crawled out on the ice rescuing the boys one at a time. Outside of some salt water and being very cold, wet and scared the boys were able to return to their homes.

Khrushchev Passes Through Gate in Iron Curtain Into Vienna
By Preston Grover

VIENNA R - Through a gate in the Iron Curtain, Premier Khrushchev entered Austria to- day and came to Vienna for his weekend conferences with Presi- dent Kennedy, who arrives Sat urday.
 The Soviet leader said he is here to establish personal con- tact with Kennedy "and to ex- change views on the main ques- tions that concern relations be- tween the Soviet Union and the United States of America"
 "We know that one cannot set tie everything at once," he ob- served. "If, however, one has good will, one can also achieve much with a short time.
 ''This is what the people want who press for an easing of inter- national tension and for strength ening of world peace"
 Arriving from CZechoslovakia Khrushchev's special train passed through gate in a complex fence of barbed wire stretching along the Czech side of the front fer. The fencing is arranged ir several rows, with a total depth of about 12 feet. Its main pur- pose is to keep Czechs from making unauthorized trips.
 The Kennedy-Khrushchev talks begin Saturday and continue Sum- day. The Soviet camp seemed guardedly optimistic that some thing useful might come from them-if Kennedy is prepared to accept as logical the Russan view point on world affairs.

Rep. Miller to Head COP National Committee

WASHINGTON lR - Rep. Will liam E. Miller of New York was unanimously elected chairman of the Republican National Com mittee today, and immediately launched a sharp attack on the Kennedy Administration.
 In an acceptance speech, he said he rather suspected that if the United States had a parliamentary system of government i've would have a resounding vote of no- confidence in the administration"
 And, alluding to President Ken nedy, Miller told the applaud ing National Committee member ship that "there is one hell of a difference between a sense of histrionics and a sense of his tory"
 He added the American people "now know there is a vast diff ference between campaigning for President and being President of the United States"
 Miller said the Republicans will be responsible opposition party, but will point out the errors of the administraaion-an adminis- tration he said goes from one crisis to another.
 His travels in recent months have convinced him that the COP is vital and determined to win, he said, and added a comment that the election of Republican John c. Tower to the Senate from Texas wos mo indication that the party was dying"
 Miller, generally regarded as a m d d e-of- the-road Republican, succeeds Sen. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky who resigned to al- low himself more time to cam paign for reelection to the Sen ate next year.
 Miller, 47, is the party's 43rd chairman, and the second Roman Catholic to serve in the post since the GOP was organized Tn 1856. The first Catholic chairman was Thomas H. Carter of Montana, in 1926.
 AS chairman, Miller will direct the party battle to carry out what Gen. Dwight Eisenhower calls it's "clear mandate" to attack Presi- dent Kennedy's program.
 Eisenhower laid before a cheer ing audience of 5000 party faith full at S100-a-plate dinner Thurs day night a battle plan under which he said "for Americas sake, we take sharp issue with the leadership now in power"

Ruqqed IndividuoIist

In his fashion, Charles E. Wilson,
who died this week at II, was the most
colorful of the cabinet officers who
came to Washington in the first admin
iStration of President Eisenhower. Burly
and bluff, he took over the Defense
Department with king-Size reputation
as a man who could get things done in
the world of big industry. He had earned
this reputation as the boss of General
Motors Corporation, itself the biggest of
the giants in turning out automotive
equipment in war and peace, and
running the Nations defense establish
ment shaped up to him as the same
sort of challenge to management SkillS.
If it did not work out exactly that
way, and it did not, it still left un-
diminished Mr.. wilson's stature as an
industrialiSt and notable contributor
to American business history. Politics,
to the degree that all cabinet officers in
any administration must have SEN
sitivity to this peculiar form of personal
relationship, was not quite his forte.
Even so, Mr.. Wilson's gift for pictur-
esque expression and his chuckling
readiness to identify himself as charter
member of the Foot-in-th the Mouth Club
won him high measure Of personal
popularity in Washington. He was a
rugged individualist in the good Amer
lean tradition.

Government at Work

The 9th Congress has no reason for
an uneasy conscience as it faces three
months of vacation time away from
Washington. Coming into office with a
new administration, one flying the
bright flags of new frontierSmen, the
national legislature worked its way with
relative calm and a normal level of
efficiency through a long and varied
program. If it was not a flamboyant
Congress, neither was it quarrelsome or
rebelliouS. Partisanship, as such, was
kept on low key, compromise was
reached amiably rather than resentfully
on most issues, and some of the poten-
TALLY troublesome problems were simply
set aside for the 1862 session.
It was in the area of world affairs
and national security needs that the
Congress recorded it's best performance
1t did not need to be driven or wheedled
into larger appropriations or moral
support for strengthening our military
posture and intenSifying our effort in
the space race. At the same time, it ap-
proved establishment of a new agency
on arms control and disarmament. Even
the compromise on foreign aid, which as
usual did involve some sharp fighting,
was on the side of strength.
On the domestic front, the record
was less impressive, but it hardly
deserves the hand-wringing of the die
hard reformers and liberals. Aside
from temporary anti-receSSion measures,
there were expansions in housing aid,
minimum wage coverage, social security
and help to chronically depressed areas.
Unless world affairs demand a near
monopoly of attention next year, the
major issues facing the next session will
include tax revision, medical care for
the aged and aid to education. In
addition, expiration of the reciprocal
trade agreements act promises fight
over tariff policies.
When the legislators return in
January, the inevitable political pres
Sures of an election year undoubtedly
will sharpen the congressional mood,
but the pattern of a constructive
executive Legislative relationship ap-
pears we'll established for the life Of the
9th Congress.

1854 Durham rule on insanity as
criminal defense and to bar judges from
throwing out a confession merely be-
cause there was delay between arrest
and arraignment of the defendant.
Also lost was the plan for shifting
from the shoulders of transit riders to
the general public the burden of sub
sidized school fares. 1t is certainly
unreasonable to impose solely on bus
and streetcar passengers the cost of
letting students ride to and from classes
at reduced rates. Allowed to die, too,
was legislation to curb abuses of the
unemployment compensation program,
to tighten local laws against obscenity
and to relieve the District Government
of the obligation of repaying one third of
Federal hospital grants in Washington.
There were, of course, numerous other
legislative omissions in addition to those
mentioned.
We can only hope that Congress will
make up for lost opportunities when it
meets again-and that it will be able to
avoid the snarls which left some local
measures in frustrating tangles as the
1861 session came to an end.

Unfinished Business

Congress will be confronted at It's
next session with a lot of unfinished
District business, some of it highly i'm
portant While not belittling what the
past session did for Washington-for
such things as voting rules, additional
policemen, transfer of Freedmen's Hos
pitaI to Howard University and extern
sion of the Hospital Center Act are
major ccompliShmentS-the debit side
of the legislative ledger is long and
depressing.
One of the outstanding diSappoint-
ments was the failure to pass legislation
aimed at correcting several glaring
deficiencies in the local anticrime Setup.
The drive on juvenile crime, for ex-
ample, will continue to be hampered by
a grossly overloaded Juvenile Court.
Proposals for more judges for that one
Judge tribunal foundered on the rocks
of opposition by the Davis committee in
the House. The Juvenile Court problem
ought to be given high priority when
Congress reconvenes next year. 1t was
the Senate, however, not the House,
which let two other anticrime measures
die. These were the bills to clarity the
