Dept. Commissioners vs. Governing
 Boards Given the Deep Six by Demos

ernment, and they all worked at cross purposes.
 Because of lack of responsi- bility and control over those boards, we placed the depart ments under the governor who is responsible to the people in an election every four years.
 ''This system now has been in effect only year and haf," Hellenthal said. "It has worked very well and will work a lot bet ter if it is given a fair chance"
 Rep. R. w. Stratton countered that in his opinion there were no objections to the board sys- tenn as such under territorial status.
 "The people of Alaska were not unhappy with the boards" Stratton said. "They were un- happy with the enforced and dic- tatorial control from Washington, where they had no voting repre- Sentatives.
 "The present system places al- most complete dictatorial powers in the hands of the governor, mak- ing it tremendous responsibility and tremendous job.
 q would be just as concerned about seeing this Section 26' board system in effect under a Republican administration as un- der Democratic administra- tion," Stratton said.
 Looking forward over the years, I feel that the state of Alaska would be more secure if the people have closer contact with the controlling and policy making boards at the head of the various state departments"

JONCfaO UT - Ile llOt lSSuC of department commissioners yer sus governing boards apparently has been given the deep six by the controlling Democratic ma jority for this session of the Legis- 1ature.
 The second bill, one which would have placed board of fish and game at the head of the Fish and Game Department with full administrative and bud getry powers, died Wednesday when the House voted to leave it in the Rules Committee.
 A demand by the Republicans to place the measure on the call endar failed by vote of 1921, The only Democrat to join the 18-man COP bloc was Rep. Mark Jensen of Douglas.
 The bill was sponsored by four Democrats, including Jensen, and three Republicans.
 The other three Democrats had changed their minds earlier in the week in bitter battle over placing the Department of Educa- ton under governing State Board of Education. That measure passed after day-long maneuver- ing by count of 25-15, and then was killed the following day on a 20-20 tie vote.
 The bills were both "section 26 bills", so named after Section 26 of the State Constitution, which permits an alternative to the strong executive and appointive commissioner type of government.
 Rep. John Hellenthal, state Democratic party chairman, said the Democrats had held firm on the present strong executive" form of government "because to depart from this without good reason would defeat our whole theory of government"
 "If we want to have respon- sibile government, we must have a governor with responsibility" Hellenthal said.
 '"To dilute that responsibility with the creation of autonomous governing boards would be defeat ing our whole purpose and we'd be back to the situation we had before statehood where the tail was wagging the dog.

1856 Attempt to Kill
HommorskioId Told

UPPSALA, Sweden, Sept. 80
(AP) "A Sweden official said
today an attempt was made to
assassinate Dag Hammarskjold
on a visit to Jerusalem just
after the Suez Crisis of 1856.
The official, who declined to
permit use of his name. said
he was standing nearby when a
bullet missed the head of the
United Nations Secretary Gen
eral at that time. Mr.. Ham
marskjold perished in a plane
crash in Africa September 18.
just 13 years after another
Swedish servant Of the U.N..
Count Folke Bernadotte, was
shot to death in Jerusalem.
The Swedish official told this
story of the 1856 incident:
1t was at noon. The divided
city of Jerusalem was bathed in
sun. There was no wind. Scan
dinavian U. N. officers sweated
in their heavy Nordic uniforms.
Mr.. Hammarskjold was max
ing his first visit to Jerusalem
after the Suez crisis. His
bodyguard had left him for a
minute or two to direct a car
to the spot where he was watt
ing. With his Swedish aide,
Mr.. Hammarskjold strolled
along some 30 yards away
from the rest of his party.
Suddenly he stopped and
turned his head quickly around.
A bullet sizzled past his ear,
1t smashed into the wall be-
hind the two Swedes, who stood
alone in the lane.
Evening star., 1961-10-01

"A bullet" said the aide.
Did you hear it?"
Mr.. Hammarskjold glanced
quickly at the spot where the
bullet had hit the wall and then
said:
Remember. we have seen or
heard nothing"
He then walked quickly back
to his party and said with a
smile:
Gentlemen, let us leave here.
1t is too windy"
They took it as a joke-an
example of his quiet humor.
The informant said he was
now free to tell the story. When
it happened he promised not
to reveal the incident in Mr..
Hammarskjold's lifetime. Mr..
Hammarskjold was buried here,
in his hometown, yesterday.

Our nerves are going to be
twisted and tortured and we
shall at some point be required
to reach collective conclusion
as to whether we are prepared
to pay another installment in
the unending and escalating
price of freedom.
Murrow Cites Responsibility
1T is going to require an
act of national discipline that
is without precedent, and this
appraisal, this estimate, Of the
worth of what we have must
be carried out with a freedom
of expression and reporting that
is known in no other country.
That is our way of doing things,
and the way it is done is very
largely your responsibility.
You represent relatively new
instruments of communication
but have occasionally felt that
you all too frequently have
made your youth your Oldest
excuse for your shortcomings,
You have the power and there
fore you have the responsibility
Maturity is not measured by
age but by performance.
II would not like to be mis-
understood. This is no plea for
conformity or uncritical accept
ance and support of the policies
of this administration but
I do suggest that there isn't
going to be any need in the
coming months for anyone to
hot-up his copy or to exagger-
ate the Importance of events. "

ord of the first session of Con-

accompanying editorial in the

tried to appease the South but
the effort backfired.
The President gave the
southern bloc exactly what
it wanted-no civil rights legis-
lation and no aid to the anti
filibuster fight" the editorial
said. I'm return, they voted
against him most of the time
on the really significant issues. "
Raps Congress
The editorial went on to say
that the record of Congress was
"at best one of callous expedi-
ency and. at worst, one of as
tonishing indifference to real
national needs"
1t added the performance was
only numerically impressive"
when it is contrasted with the
promise and expectation of the
new administration.
The ADA selected 10 roll call
votes in each House to measure

conservative philosophy. It said
