 Gray also said a problem facing the group is whether the Goose Bay area should be taken out of the Anchorage District and put into the Palmer District
 The board will "try to reach conclusive decisions on all prob lems" and start preparing it's re- port to Gov Egan, Gray said.
 The report is expected to be submitted to Egan by Sept. 1g, Gray added.
 The five member board was ap- pointed by Egan to recommend reapportionment in the state low ar House as required by the State Constitution after each decennial census.
 Under the new population fig ures each of the House Districts must represent at least 2,419 per- sons.
 Gray said the present Cordova- Mccarthy District has a popula- ticn of only 1857. The Valdez Chitina- Whittier District has only 2.379.

Senate Racket PrObers View Gaming Devices

WASHINGTON R = A Chicago manufacturer Tuesday showed Senate rackets probers the para phernalia of crooked gambling he says his firm sells widely.
 Paul Karnov, president of the H. E. Mason Co, also known as the K. c. Card Co, of Chicago, displayed special ruby red con tact glasses and spectacles, used to tread the backs" of marked cards, and trick mirrors which unseen kibitzers can use to see the poker hands of unsuspeeting players sitting at table. There were little radio sets the kibitzer uses to convey information to a confederate in the game.
 Karnov testified his firm does nearly a $400,000-a-year business selling Legitimate dice. trick dice and other items he piled on the witness table for demonstration. to the Senate Investigations Sub committee.
 He identified the company's catalogue, and estimated that 36 of it's 80 pages were devoted to entirely legitimate gaming sup plies"
 Karnov and Hardy Gray, his business partner, put on demon stration of how some of the things are used, including two little radio sets, each about the size of a deck of cards with which gs:sab- lers can swap information secret ly in card game.
 He said it sends dots and dashes in Morse Code, but soundlessly. The receiver feels light electric shock and he demonstrated it on Robert Sunne, a subcommittee aide, who jumped when the cur rent proved to be turned on too strongly.
 The receiving set is strapped or taped to the arm or leg of a player in 8 card game. The sender conceals his set as circumstances dictate, but sometimes stands in- side closet peering through q trick mirror to read the hands of unsuspecting players and re- laying the information to con- federate.
 Outside the closet, the mirror looks like any other, but from the inside it seems to be clear glass.

population of 3,937, Gray said.
 Queries from citizens on both sides of the question of joining the Goose Bay area, across Knik Arm from Anchorage, to the Pal mer Wasilla Talkeetna District brought the problem to the at tenion of the board, Gray said.
 Due to the population increase, the Anchorage District stands to gain perhaps six seats in the House, it was pointed out.
 Fairbanks stands to gain two new seats to the Legislature, while a total of nine outlying districts face whole or partial combination.
 Gray refused to give his per- scnal opinion of possible splitting of the Anchorage District to re- duce it's possible IA seats. But in answer to criticism that the gain would result in long unwieldy election ballot. Gray pointed out that the Denver, (Colo) District has eight senators and F lower House members to elect.

 State Atty. Gen. Moody has rem dered an opinion that the group has such power, and it is proceed ing under this assumption.

Alaskan Defense Needs Bolstering

NOME WILL BE honored tomorrow by visit from It. Gen. George w. Mundy, USAF, who arrived in Alaska last month to command of all Armed Forces in this 49th State.
 Five years ago Gen. Mundy succeeded Gen. Arn- strong as Commander of the Strategic Air Commands Second Air Force at Barksdale AFB in Louisiana.
 is gratifying to the people of this that Gen. Mlmdy includes Nome and Northwestern Alaska his first tour of the state and for himself the lack of defense on Alaska's vast coastline
 Twenty helicopters and 96 pilots and maintenance and their families errolte to Alaska to bolster Alaskan defenses This too is gratifying and meets need long felt in Alaska It is hoped that many of these helicopters will soon be seen based on the Coast of Alaska where the need IS the greatest.
 A couple of months ago if anyone had suggested that American passenger planes would be hijacked it would have sounded ludicrous But it has happened and it can happen here. When an unidentified boat neared Hawaii recently, the military immediately aerted and the ship investigated When large ship was near St. Lawrence Island and had helicopters with it the matter shrugged off of little i'm portance. The bettling of ths event indicates the military is of the weakness in the defense here and in its embarrassment felt the less said about the matter the better
 Until the time arrives that Alaska once again has open trade routes with its Eastern neigbors the back door of America should be well guarded the front door

Fear octic Fails,

CHICAGO, Dec. 4 (AP.-
The Communists effort to Gre
ate fear and CONSERVATION
may well have been the great
est mistake in their history"
Vice President johnson said
today.
This Communist pressure, he
said, helped draw free men
everywhere" closer together. He
called it "the outstanding fact
of 1861" in an address prepared
for delivery before the National
Association of Home Builders
Convention.
The balance sheet "of our
position in the world today is
not just the addition of Sue
cesses and the subtraction of
losses" he said. THE results
can be assessed accurately only
when we count in an event
which would make 1861 a men,
orable year even if nothing else
had happened at all"
This outstanding fact Of 1861
is, he said, that it was a year
of unification-a year in which
free men everywhere found
themselves drawn colser to-
gether. aware of their common
purposes"

High Court ThrowsOut
Briggs Robbery Case

The Supreme Court today, in
a 6-3 decision, threw out the
case of John E. Hodges of Chill
lum, Md, who had attacked his
robbery conviction here on the
ground that it stemmed from
a coerced confession.
The court said it should not
have accepted the case in the
first place.
The question raised by
Hodges was whether a con-
viction could be challenged on
a claim of coerced confession
after the time for appeal had
expired.
The court said it had ac-
cepted the case with the un-
derstanding that it questioned
whether the District Court
should have granted Hodges a
hearing. The court said 1T had
found that District Court did
grant a hearing but that the
minutes of the hearing were
lost.

Between Meony and Reuther

BAL HARBOUR, Fla, Dec. 4
(APD "A fast-broadening rift
appeared to be developing today
between two of organized la
boris top leaders-AFL-CIO
President George Meany and
Walter Reuther. Auto Workers
chief.
1t has been no secret that the
two men have not gotten along
particularly we'll for some time.
But now they have taken to ex-
changing potshots publicly.
Mr.. Meany told reporters
over the week end that Mr..
Reuther. head of the old CIO
until Mr.. Meany got the top
job of the merged labor move
ment six years ago, is chief
among union leaders who have
been negligent in organizing
activities.
Reuther Hits Back
Mr.. Reuther retorted today
through a spokesman for his
union that Mr.. Meany's criti-
cism was untrue and intended
merely to cover up failure of
the AFL-CIO itself to engage
in new-member recruitment.
The spokesman also said the
Auto Workers Union has sub
stantially organized it's juris-
diction. except for office and
technical workers in the white
collar field.
The Reuther spokesman
fatty denied ans assertion by
Mr.. Meany that's Mr.. Reuther
has sharply cut down his
organizing staff in recent
months. The spokesman said
there had been no staff reduc-
ton since the 1858 recession
era.
More sparring between the
two union leaders seems sure
to develop at the AFL-CIO con-
vention opening here Thursday.
Mr.. Reuther is due to arrive
tomorrow for pre-convention
meetings.

to serve from four to 13 years
for a holdup at Briggs g. Co.,

Three months after his con-
viction he filed a motion to va
cate his sentences on the
grounds it was based on a CO.

ton.

Mr.. Hoffa flatly predicted
that an end of the four-year-
old Teamsters exile'is inevitable.
His chances seem slim during
the current union meetings.
but Mr.. Hoffa said he was en-
couraged by a conditional
reaffiliation bid voted by the
AFL-CIO Building Trades
Union last week.
Mr.. Meany was said to have
written the building trades re-
solution himself, and in such a
way that Mr.. Hoffa would have
to quit as Teamsters president
before his union could be con-
sidered for readmission.
Mr.. Meany has insisted that
the Teamsters would be well
come back any time they got
rid of Mr.. Hoffa. The Team

Hoffa and other Teamsters
chiefs were criticized in Sem

Defense:
New Policy

Defense Secretary McNamara
last week opened the defense Of
the Defense budget In an ap-
pearance before the Senate
Armed Services Committee.
For several years, the American
people have been told over and
over again that in the age of mis-
siles with atomic warheads we
must have a Pentagon organiza-
ton and forces which will provide
us with the capability Of instan-
taneouS retaliation.
Speed, speed, speed is the an
swer to survival and victory
that was the word.
President Kennedy, in his mes
sage to Congress accompanying q
revised military budget, declared
his intention Of building striking
forces which an enemy could not
knock out in a surprise attack.
Last week. Defense Secretary
Mcnamara underscored the ad-
ministration decision in testimony
before the Senate Armed Services
Committee.
The choice, Mr.. Mcnamara as
serted, is between a force which
can be launched within a hoped
for warning time-ranging from 0
to 80 minutes-and forces (which
can ride out a massive ICBM at
tack" and not be tied to a "hair-
trigger" response.
The Kennedy administration
has chosen the latter. 1t will rush
through the construction and
arming Of PolariS missile subma-
rines and, supplementing this
hidden, mobile force, build several
Minutemen solid-fuel ICBM bases
in the United States.
1t ruled out the instantaneous"
retaliation idea pushed by the Air
Force because ambiguous warn
ings of apparent attack could set
off a response which could not be
called back.
On the NATO front, Vice Presi-
dent johnson last week in Paris
made it clear that the United
States favored an increase in the
conventional forces of the alliance
SO that immediate use of nuclear
weapons would not be forced upon
us in the event of a non-nuclear
attack by the Soviet Union.

forces holding the Elisabeth
vile airport; Antoine Gizenga,
heir-apparent to the slain Pat
rice Lumumba, agreed to dis
cuss political unity with other

The United Nations in its en-
tire history has never had so diff
ficult and challenging a peace
maker role as the tangled violence
of the Congo Republic presents.
Last week there was, however,
evidence of U. N. muscle. If per-
suasion didn't work, Katanga's s
irate President Tshombe was told,
Indian ,Ghurkas would be tried.
Mr.. Tshombe, in an impassioned
public recital of rage, told the
people of Elisabethville that the
U. N. had to get out Of the air.
port. He directly and in detail
ordered the Katangans to do
everything possible to harass the
U. N. force, which was made up
of a small Swedish detachment.
Although Mr.. Tshombe and the
U. N. command reached an ac-
cord some two hours after the
