Reservist Is Convicted,
Gets Six-Month Term

FORT POLK, La. Mar. 81
(AP).-A five-officer military
court convicted Pfc. Bernis
Owen of Seadrift. Tex, of dis
respect in calling an order of
his commanding general, a chi
larious climax to a chain Of in
justices.
Pfc. owen was given a SEN
tence of six months at hard
labor and loss of $50 per month
for six months, a heavier PEN
atty than had been expected.
The court-martial is subject to
appeal and automatic review by
a higher Army board.
Maj. Thomas N. Fuller, pres
ident of the special court-mar-
tial, announced the decision
after a secret ballot which re-
quired a two-thirds majority to
convict the reServist.

by Maj. Gen. Harley B. West.

Texas 49th Infantry Division,
called a halt to a series of 1--WE

reServists at the post.

Tense counsel, said Pfc Owen
made an honest mistake"
based on an honest convic-
ton"
Perhaps the man was
wrong" the chief defense coun-
sci said, but asked: us it
criminal to make a mistaken"
Capt. James Sturgeon, the
Army's trial counsel or prose-
cutor, reminded the court that
Pfc. Owen was % years old and
commended that his remarks
about the order were "deliber-
ate"
That order" the Army coun-
sci said of the March 10 edict,
forbade any more meetings by
disgruntled Army reservists.
That order was held up to ridi-
cule by the accused"
The defense called three wit
nesses this morning trying to
show Pfc. Owen had no intent
of diSrespect.
The witnesses were Bill Cook,
bureau manager for United
Press international at New Or
leans; 1t. Col. Fred Francis,
public information officer at
Fort Polk, and Pfc. E. w. Sisk,
a member of the 49th Division.

every 10 they deserved.
The imbalance was greatest
in the States with the largest
And within the
great metropolitan areas of the
country, the burgeoning sub
urbs were even less adequately
represented than the central
cities, many of which have lost
population in recent years.
May Affect House
Since State legislatures draw
the maps for congressional dis
tricts, the reapportionment of
the legislatures would be ex-
pected in time to affect the
of the national House
Of Representatives. Reappor-
tionment of the House on the
basis of population, according
to a study published by Con-
gressional Quarterly last
would take 81 seats
from rural areas and give 20
of them to the suburbs and
seven to central cities.
The resulting shift in the
balance of political power in
the country might give a con-
sentative shudders. The cleo
toral college system, which
awards all of a States elec-
toral votes to the presidential
candidate who receives even a
bare plurality of its popular
votes, magnifies the power Of
the voting blocs in the big
cities which swing the big
States.
This same power, it is &C

To explain, the justices
ground out 161 pages Of opinion,

words.
1.-THE separate writings of my

Of what the court decides"
wrote Justice Stewart. He
then went on to explain his
views of what the decision did
and did not mean.
Justice Frankfurter, in a Ga
page dissenting opinion, said:
lone of the courts supporting
opinions, as elucidated by COM
mentary, unwittingly affords a
disheartening preview Of the
mathematical quagmire (apart
from divers judicially inappro-
pirate and elusive determi-
nants), into which this court
today catapults the lower courts
of the country without so much
as adumbrating the basis for

ing for Governors and Sem
atorS.
In the past, defenders of the
winner-take-all electoral Sys-
tenn. notably President Ken
nedy, have argued that the ur-
ban areas needed this advan-
tage in order to counterfeit the
rural bias in the makeup Of the
State Legislatures and the
House Of Representatives.
Any Rallying Ground?
What happens, however, if
the same urban groups that
have disproportionate influence
in choosing the President, the
Senate and the Governors now
are assisted in gaining control
of the State legislatures and
the House? Will there be any
rallying ground left for rural,
conservative forces?
Against the prophecy Of in
creased welfare statism and
central control that these ques-
tions imply, one can set the ar
gument Of those who believe the
reapportionment Of State Legis-
latures is the best hope for the
preservation of local and State
government and the best de-
tense against additional de-
pendence on Washington.
Party Effects
Their hope is that If State
governments become more re-
sponsive to the needs of their
urban centers, there will be less
tendency for those cities to look
to Uncle Sam for aid.

gress, there Is no apparent
cause for Republican alarm.
The loss of rural representa-
tiveS in the legislatures would
hit mainly at Republicans in
the North and Democrats in
the South. While Democrats
would be expected to win most
of the additional seats that
would go to the central cities
Of the North, the suburbs would
be the main beneficiaries of
the change-and there Repub-
licans should be able to compete
on no worse than even terms.
In the South, the advantage
would seem to lie heavily with
the Republicans. Such big
Southern cities as Atlanta, Mi
ami, Houston and Dallas are
the most under-repreSented in
the Nation. 1t is precisely in
those cities that Republicans
have been displaying their
greatest increase in voting
strength.
Basic Changes Due
So far as the makeup of the
House of Representatives is
concerned, the Congressional
Quarterly analysis indicated
there would be little net change
in party strength under an
Ideal" reapportionment ano
there is no evidence such q
reapportionment would in
crease liberal strength in the
House"
What does seem likely ir
time, however, is a rather basic
alteration in the makeup anc
character of the two politica
parties. The base of Republi.
can strength probably will shift
from the rural counties anc
small towns of the Midwest ane
the Plains to the suburbs O.
the East. Midwest and West
There will also likely be al
increasing Southern accent Il
the G. o. P.-not the accent o.
the old, rural South but of thu
modern and prosperous center'
like Atlanta and Dallas anc
their suburbs.
On the Democratic side, i
is possible to foreSee a steady
diminution in the influence o.
the rural Southerner who cater
to the views of the wool hats
and the red necks." The low
income labor, and minorit,
groups occupying the cente.
of the old northern cities will
probably have even greater in
fluence in the party than the,
do now. At the same time
as two-party competition
spreads in the South, the Dem
ocrats will face the necessit,
of adjusting their programs t,
compete for the votes of tn,
northern suburbs, where Re
publicans now hold sway.
All this, of course, is dow
the road. The changes ma,
not take place this way. Blu
If they do. historians may wei
trace them back to the day
when the Supreme Court toll
the States their long-unchal
lenged power to constitute thei
legislatures as they wished wa
immune from review no more.

school, your dad would have to so to jail?"
 Whereupon David, after giving some thought, said brightly, For how long?"
 On the two occasion we have met and visited with Gov. Bill Egan, we find that we like him very much-althOugh we believe he has twice as many state agencies as is needed to operate the state of Alaska and if they were cut exactly in two nobody would suffer.
 And we want him to know that we in Kodiak appreciate his cOm- ing here to defend our fishermen on more than one occasion.
 But we hasten to call to his at tentiOn that no one from Kodiak was appointed to serve on either the Centennial Committee or the Inauguration Committee. We cant possibly be that far from Alaska.
 Don't know if it was intentional or not but this weeks film sched- ule at the Orpheum recalled the early days of our rocket miSadven- lures:
 Ending tonight is q Aim at the Stars" and opening tomorrow is "Stop, Look and Laugh"
 And we know it wasn't planned that way, but out on the base the Army-Navy game was being broadcast starting at S:15; Miss Barbara Bakutis, daughter of Rear Admiral and Mrs. Fred E. Bakutis, was wed to Alfred R. Burnett, at 9 a.m., and the game picked up at the second half at the reception.
 Having met the bride day or two before the ceremony, we go on record that she is charming and warm personality.
 REMEMBER WHEN: This time of the hurry was furry of activ- ity in the kitchen making Christ mas cookies, popcorn balls and stringing cranberries for the tree? And whatever happened to such homemade holiday delicacies as Turkish Delight and fondant in the candy field and plum pudding and fruit cake made in the fall and aged for goodness? :. All of our Christmas tree ornaments came from Germany instead of Japan?
 And the Scandanavians began looking around for Lute Fisk and lingenberries for the holiday sea son? This was the time of the year you went to the attic or store room to get out the candle holders, the tinsel and the Christmas rope? And when every Church had a Christmas program and gift ex- change night or two before Christmas eve?
 Some valuable memories and tra- ditions have been washed away with the years.

 And the pedestrians and mo- tOrists would settle for some pay. ing, even if it is less than one mile.
 The town needs another hotel and some motels before we can begin asking tourists to come see Alaska's Treasure Island. Hope some builders read this.
 Another good year in 1863 for our fishing industry like the one we had this past year.
 Lower prices, all up and down the board, would be a help.
 And we suspect that the mili- tary personnel would appreciate something in the USO nature in town, and we hope that some or ganization gets with it soon.

Not out of Maryland Law
School long, Mr.. Goldstein
walked over every mile of roads
in Calvert County and shook
every voters hand to get
elected to his first political
post in 1888, a seat in the
House of Delegates.
Since then, he has toured
the State dozens of times. He
never mails the million-dollar
checks the controllers office
sends to the counties as their
share of State revenues, he de-
livers them in person-and
usually gets his picture taken.
Once described as a "coun-
try pumpkin who does his
homework" Mr.. GoldStein, 40,
has moved from the House of
Delegates, to the State Senate
Democratic leadership, to Sem
ate president, to controller,
and has his eye on the gov
ernorShip.
He and his wife share a
legal practice. He operates a
real estate agency, several
farms and a weekly newspaper,
the Journal-Gazette of Prince
Frederick.

Mr.. Goldstein rarely men,
lions an opponents name, but
he gets his point across.
During the 1858 campaign, a
member of the Republican
ticket called him a captive of
the liquor industry. The next
night, Mr.. Goldstein, who said
he never touches liquor, showed
up at a University of Maryland
political gathering with a quart
of milk in each hand.
Every point of the speech was
punctuated with a swig of milk
and at the end of the speech
every drop was gone-and so
was the Republicans charge.
Ever since, Mr.. Goldstein has
been the favorite speaker of
dairy organizations.
A student of Maryland his
tory, Mr.. Goldstein was so busy
telling the bus driver about Allie
gany County last week that the
driver missed a turn and the
caravan wound up in Keyser,
w. Va. But that's not unusual;
colleagues tell of the time Mr..
Goldstein's enthusiasm carried
him over into Pennsylvania and
Delaware on handshaking tours.

ChiIdAvoids One 7 rain,
Is Killed by Another

A fast-moving Baltimore &
Ohio commuter train killed a
5-year-old Brentwood (Md.)
boy yesterday when he failed
to hear it coming because of a
freight train he had just
avoided.
A flagman on the freight
train desperately called to the
boy, Donald L. McGargle of
4318 Forty-first street, but the
warning was in vain.
Donald had strayed from his
yard to the right-of-way
about 100 feet from the inter-
section of Penwood road and
Volta street. With him were
two or three friends and a dog.
Prince Georges police said
Donald was standing on the
southbound track waiting for
the Baltimore-bound freight to
pass on an adjoining track.
AS he saw the speeding two
car commuter train bearing
down, William S. Smith of
Harpers Ferry, jumped from the
freight caboose and shouted at
the boy, about 300 feet away.
Donald apparently did not hear
the cries.
The commuter engineer, J.
E. Earl of Baltimore, blew
several warnings but could not
brake in time.

Boys Return
To Homes

Two boys who had been the
object of an intensive search
near Mount Vernon since Tues
day afternoon, returned I'M
harmed to their homes early
today.
The boys, both 10 and fifth
grade classmates in Fairfax
County's Woodley Hills Elemen-

most of the time in a house I'M
der construction within the
area being searched.
Bruce Young of POT Adrienne

Neptune drive, Woodley Hills,
got home about 100 am, &C
cording to Air Force 1t. Col.

father.
They said that each had only
a glass of water since they left
home about $3.50 pm. Tuesday
after telling classmates they
intended to run away.
They had gone to a new
house nearing completion in
the Westgate subdivision, about
five blocks to the south of
Bruce's home, and had in
tended to go out yesterday and
return there again last night,
Col. Young was told.
Their plans were foiled, how
ever, when e man came to the
house to work on the floors.
Later, Bruce and Ted went
out for a while, then returned
to the house before chilly
weather decided them to return
home.
About 100 soldiers from Fort
Belvoir, county police, blood
hounds from Lorton Reform
atory and a helicopter from
Fort Belvoir searched for them.
