Light Vote
Anticipated
In Alaska

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Aug
IA (AP).-Alaskans voted to-
day in their third primary cleo
ton since Alaska became q
State four years ago.
Although nominations to 81
State and congressional offices
are at stake, the campaign has
stirred little interest. A light
turnout Of 10000 voters was
predicted by Secretary of State
Hugh ]. Wade.
Gov. William A. Egan, AZ
year-old Valdez grocer, seeking
nomination to a second term
has opposition from three
Democrats. His strongest op-
ponent appears to be George

port Of organized labor.
Also running for the Demo.
cratic nomination are State
Representative Warren A. Tay-
lor, speaker Of the Alaska
House, and David N. Boyer, q
homesteader from Anchor
Point.

Five candidates seek the Re-
publican gubernatorial nomina-
ton, including Mike Stepovich
Fairbanks attorney who was
AlaSka's last territorial Cover
nor. A pair of State Senators
John B. Coghill of Nenana and
Howard w. Pollock of Anchor
age, are Mr.. Stepovich's strong
est challengers.
DR.. Milo Fritz and Verne o
Martin, both of Anchorage, also
want the G. o. P. nomination
Senator Gruening, 75-year-
old veteran of Alaska's political
wars, has only token opposition
for Democratic nomination to
a full six-year term. Senator
Gruening, who was territorial
Governor for a decade, drew a
four-year term in 1858 when he
and E. L. (Bob) Bartlett, also
a Democrat. were elected Alas

A move to give the Districts
Superintendent Of Insurance,
Robert F. Jordan, q substan-
tial pay raise was killed on the
House floor yesterday by Rep
resentative Gross, Republican
of Iowa.
Mr.. Gross knocked out an
amendment to q credit life in
surance controls bill that would
have upped Mr.. Jordan from
a Grade 16 ($l6,295). to Grade
18 ($18,500).
The grade promotion amend
ment had been added to the
Senate-paSSed insurance bill by
the House District Committee.
The amendment was added at
an executive session at the
suggestion Of Representative
Mcmillan, Democrat of South
Carolina. who is chairman Of
the committee.
Held Not Germane
When the bill reached the
House floor yesterday, Mr..
Gross succeeded in killing the
pay raise on the grounds that
this job Redistribution was q
matter for the Post Office and
Civil Service Committee, and
also that it was not germane
to the bill. Representative Dow
dy, Democrat of Texas. who
was floor manager for the bill,
conceded the point of order.
Mr.. Jordan was named to
the post of insurance superin-
tendent here in 1889 at the age
of IS.
The measure now goes to the
White House. The legislation
is designed to eliminate abuses
in the fields of credit life in
surance and credit accident and
health insurance writing.
At congressional hearings, it
was testified that these prac-
tees include the selling Of
debtor insurance in excess Of
the a m cunt of indebtedness,
and failing to inform the debt
or of the term, amount and
premium cost Of such insur-
ance.

Congress has abolished the
Districts mandatory death
penalty.
Late yesterday, the House
accepted a Senate amendment
to the bill it had passed almost
a year ago and sent it to the
White House. There was no

Mr.. Wright said the board S

STREET PERIL
Worseninu
OF Attacks
Foreseen

The recent outbreak of street
attacks in the District will
get worse" before they decline,
according to Donald Clemmer,
director of the Department Of
Corrections. Z
Mr.. Clemmer last night told
meeting of the District of
Columbia Sociological Society
that the increase in assaults
indicates "there are racial over
tones Of a cultural nature"
He noted that the "tempta-
ton to speculate on the cause"
Of the increase in assaults is
strong. But, he added, he re-
jects "the proposition that 1t
may be racial in a biological
sense" j
He said the Negroes sense
of new-found freedom as a re-
suit of Supreme Court desegre-
cation decisions and the emer-
gence of the new African ma
tionS may be one of many fac
tors involved.
Mr.. Clemmer added:
I'VE now know that this trait
OF the early Irish and Poles
was culturally induced a few
generations ago, and it is be-
lieved that a comparable par
allel exists with Negroes now.
In other words, changes will
occur and assaultiveness in high
degree will decrease as a unique
characteristic Of crime locally,
but I fear it will get worse be-
fore it gets better"
In comparing crime in WASH
ington with that of other cities,
Mr.. Clemmer said professional
crime here is 'minimal."
He said fewer than 100 of
the 4,700 prisoners now at the
District Jail are professional
criminals, such as murderers,
bank robbers. rapists, and or
dinary "gangsters."
Washington is not a syn
dicated racket-type city," Mr..
Clemmer told the meeting.
"One of our largest problems
is some $4,000 drunks, for ex-
ample, who pass through the
District Jail each year."
AS for the youths found
guilty of street attacks and
OF her misdemeanors, their
crimes are of an unorganized
nature, the type found in areas
with race or religious conflicts"

(SpeciaD "A mother and her

capped serious injury or death
yesterday when their car left
the highway and landed upside
down on the Southern Railway
tracks.
State Trooper C. M. Baber
said the mother, Mrs. w. Clay
ton Trumbo of Calverton, was
rounding a curve on Route 643
when she was forced off the
road by another vehicle.
After cutting a utility pole
in two the car turned topsy-
turvy, spun in the air, and fell
on the tracks.
Mrs. Trumbo and her A.
month-old daughter, Susan,
were trapped inside.
Mrs. Trumbo learned later
that a local train was due in
20 minutes. After she was
freed, rescue squad workers got
word to the engineer that the
car was on the tracks.
The mother and daughter
suffered minor injuries. They
were treated at Fauquier

leased.
The car was a total wreck.

Taft Junior High students for

AS he grabbed both boys by
the collar, one took a swing
at him but slipped out of his
coat and broke away, cursing
the policeman. Pvt. Anderson
led the second boy into a store
and called for additional po-
lice. The second boy, still out

another police car approached,

He later was arrested, and

Mr.. Lankford spent $6.082.95
for the 38-day around-the-

House Armed Services Com
mittee, the Congressional Rec
ord shows.
An Army spokesman said Col.
Campbell's expenses included
$2,136 for travel--the value of
tickets issued him under Gov
ernment "travel requests"-and
$848 for meals and lodging.

For those two items Col
Campbell got an average OF
slightly over $22 a day.
The nearby 5th district leg
islator, now seeking his party's

received about $95 a day for
meals, lodging and "miscellane-
out" expenses. He totalled his
travel expenses at $2,485.
The Army said Col. Camp
bells expenses for meals and
hotels were based on author
lied per diem and subsistence
allowances. The per diem al
loWances, the Army said, vary
from place to place depending
on living costs.

WHILE PARNELL had the

"Mr. Parnell, this is not

considerable funds. What are

hope you will pardon the in
terruption. But I want to tell
you about De Valera.

when he came to this coun-
try in 1919 he was selling

father could not find them.
