Shanghaied to Rose Inlet, Alas
ka, where he saw a City Hall.
l had been to Rose Inlet three
summers. 1t is just cannery,
which is abandoned after the
salmon season. When a Filipino
shot and killed three Chinese,
the Superintendent, as in other
canneries, served as the Sheriff.
AS a matter of fact, the au-
photographer never went to AL
aska. Who would shanghai him
when there was a widespread
unemployment, when cannery
workers scrambled for a chance
for a job, that paid only $4,000
month?
Historically and sociological
ly, David de Tagle's Mis- CincO
Amos En- America is far more
significant than the autobiog-
raphy in question, where the
writer appropriates the deeds
and adventures of others as his.
Other overgrOwn boys become
officers of over half a dozen
organizations, although they
cannot do Justice to even just
one position.
The Fish And The Drum
When they open their mouths
in a public program or banquet,
they are likely to disgrace them
selves and their organization.
More often than not, our over
grown boys do not know when
to keep their mouths shut.
While they can barely talk, they
keep on talking in spite of gen
eral murmurs from the audi
ence.
In this connection, it is i'm
portant to remember that when
one who is sadly lacking in
genuine wit and humor tries to
dish out scintillating wiSecracks,
the risk that he bores or hurts
others by insulting them or he
hurts himself by exposing his
appalling shortage of taste and
diScernment is at a maximum.
If a man of blunt wit tries to
make a philosophical dive into
the depths of the sea or scars
on the wings of Pegasus up to
the skies, more often than not
he may wind up being like a
kite which wants to fly far be-
yond the limit of its string. 1t
may break loose from the ter
ra firma of its base of operation
and fall flat on the dirt.
The more he talks the more
he exposes the cavernOus vacu-
ity in his head.
The drum proclaims its own
emptiness. 1t has, however, a
prominent place in a symphony,
as long as it is played not as a
violin or a harp but as simple
instrument, to beat the time in
synchronization with the other
musical instruments.
Whoever heard of any one
playing a drum solo for over
fifteen minutes, except in a
parade where it gives accent to
action and color galore? Realiz-
ing that the noise from the
drum cannot hold peoples ears
and minds for a long time, pro-
fessional drummers resort to a
lot of gymnastics and dramatics
that would ordinarily be con-
sidered superfluous and clown
ish to a violinist or a pianist.
Yet. many civic leaders and So
cial climbers expect us to be
entertained and impressed by

Alexondrio Youth
Held on Assault,
Extortion Churees.

dria, police today
charged a 17-year-old youth
with extortion and assault and
battery after the Tuesday night
beating of another youth.
Assault and threat charges
were lodged earlier against two
other teen-agers after Lawrence
w. Aitcheson, II, of s East
Rosemont street, was hospital
lied.
Young Aitcheson told police
he was beaten by two assailants
in the 100 block of Common
wealth avenue. Police said one
Of the attackers held off the
Aitcheson youths friends with
a knife when they tried to go
to his aid.
The victim was admitted to
Alexandria Hospital for X-rays
and observation.
Inc 17-year-old charged
with extortion, police said,
approached the Aitcheson youth
before the incident and de-
manded money. The assault
charge against him arose from
an earlier occurrence, police
said.
The two others, is and IT,
police said, afterward went to
an apartment In the 4500 block
of Raleigh avenue where the
17-year-old threatened the
occupant after his younger
companion helped force open

One Abduction Suspect
Makes Bond Is Freed

A 34-yeAr-old Michigan man,
one of three charged with abb
Quoting an ex-convict in Arling-
ton last June, was released
from jail today after posting
$500 bond. The other two
and the victim OF the abduction
remained in jail. 3
The Arlington County
sheriff's office said Eugene e.
Ayotte of Ferndale, Mich,
posted bond and was released.
Ayotte and two other men,
John p. Vais, IL, of Detroit,
and Charles ]. Morgan, 81, Of
Madison Heights, Mich, were
indicted by an Arlington grand
jury on charges of abducting

three men were picked up
shortly afterward.
Worden Is currently being

The three men charged with

under 100000 bond, and that

to $4,000 on appeal to the cir

what he described as q novel
variation.
81 recommend that members
be elected to assigned seats
1t doesn't matter what the num-
bers are-to avoid the unhappy
situation whereby a minority
dictates who will hold q partic-
ular seat"
For example, he said, If Rich
mond retains It's seven members
of the House Of Delegates, can
didates would run for seat No.
5 or No. IS, or whatever num-
Der is assigned to the delegation.
At present, If more than
seven candidates run for office,
the seven receiving the highest
vote are elected. Thus there is
the ever-present possibility that
through "single-shot" voting,
Negroes may elect members to
the General Assembly.
Mr.. Mann, while not men
tioning race, did use the word,
minority" Under his proposal,
a Negro candidate for the
House Of Delegates from Rich
mond, for example, would have
to announce for q specific seat.
Since that seat would continue
to be filled by the city vote at
large, his chances Of winning by
a "Single-shot" ballot would be
greatly reduced.
Mr.. Lynch proposed that
each Delegate and State Sena-
tor represent one district-thuS
eliminating, for example, the
seven Delegates elected from
Richmond, three from Airing
ton. two from Fairfax, and so
on.
Since there are 100 members
of the House Delegates and 40
members of the Senate, the
Lynch plan proposes to increase
the present number Of House
districts from "a to 100 and
senatorial districts from SO to
40.
AS explained by Mr.. Lynch,
the. plan calls for assigning 10
Delegates and four Senators
to each congressional district,
which also would be made
substantially equal in popula-
ton. He would leave 1t up to
members Of the General Assem-
bly, from each I congressional
district as to how to rearrange
the proposed separate State
legislative districts.
