 JUNEAU ta, Maligned but unmarred in 196l, the States new Election Code faces tougher sled- ding when the 1862 Legislative session opens Jan. 22.
 No fewer than six bills calling for revision of some portion of the comprehensive voting code are pending before lawmakers.
 Three of the bills deal with pre- registration, a sticky subject easily capable of splitting the urban and rural legislators.
 Most likely to succeed, among the three, is SBi4, a Republican introduced bill which was re- worked by the Senate State At fairs Committee and subsequent- ly passed along to the House.
 SBl4 would provide for pre- registration in all election dis tricts in which ' 500 or more votes were cast in the preceding gem eral election.
 Based on the Nov. 8, 1860, gem era1 election, the only two dis tricts in which pre-registration would be required would be the Anchorage and Fairbanks Elec- tion Districts, No. 8 and No. l6 under Gov. Vim. Eganss House reapportionment lates last year Egan's version of pre-registra- ton is SBIO0, still languishing ir the Senate State Affairs Com. mittee. It would require pre-regis. tration in any election district il which 5000 or more votes wer, cast in the preceding general cleo ton. sss

Aliens are Reminded To Report Addresses

The US. Immigration and Natu-l ralization Service reminded all aliens in Alaska that less than three weeks remain in which non- citizens must file their annual address reports as required by law.
 MT. B. Oates, District Director at Anchorage pointed out that ad- dress report forms are available at the nearest Immigration and Naturalization Service office and all Post Offices for the convent ence of non-citizens required to report their addresses to the gov ernment each January. The only non- citizens not required to re- port their addresses are persons in diplomatic status, foreign re- presentatives of certain interna- ton organizations, md persons admitted temporarily as agficult- ural workers.
 MT. Oates stated: "It is hoped
  that all persons subject to this law will go to the nearest Immi- grafton and Naturalization Service office or Post Office and fill out an address report form before the Jan. 31 deadline to avoid possible serious penalties. 7
 He explained that persons found guilty of a willful violation would be subject to possible fine, jail sentence, and deportation.
 Information furnished by an alien in making his annual ad- dress report to the government has been declared confid dential by statute. Parents or guardians of aliens under 14 years of age must suhunit reports for such children.

US. Real Estate
 Empire Totals 755 Million Acres

WASHINGTON R, - The fed- eral government is proprietor of a tidy real estate empire totaling 755 million acres, the House Com- mittee on Government Operations reported Saturday.
 The land including holdings in territories and overseas bases and installations - is carried on the books at total valuation of $82 billion, but that reflects only a fraction of it's true value.
 For instance, the 18 acres of manicured grounds surrounding the White House in downtown Washington as listed at $1 ,00O. The reason for the low valua- tion of most of the land is that fl is recorded at its cost when palr- chased in some cases 100 years ago.
 The committee also reported federal holdings of real and per- sonal property exclusive of the land totaling $283 billion.
 Rep. Wm. Dawson, 0-nl.), chairman of the committee, said the valuations represented gov- ernment holdings as of June 30, 1861.
 Dawson said the total figures represent ST billion increase since the committee issued it's Is first federal property inventory report in 1855.
 Another well-known piece of federal property, the US Military Acadamey at West Point, N.Y., includes an undervalued lf6,0Il acres. The land is listed at $70 million, but it's estimated replace nent value is $14l million, the report said.
 The capitol grounds and build lngs have an up-to-date valua- ton of $428 million, the report said, Including House and Senate office buildings. Library of Con- 1fress, Supreme Court and Court of Aainna x < n-defense holdings of the government include TAO million acres within the United States and 433, 1000 outside.
 The report said six states have more than one million acres each under control of the Defense De- pertinent. The states are Nevada.
 california. Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Alaska.
 ax states with more than 61| million property investments each in defense facilities are Califor- min Texas, Alaska, Virginia, New York, and Florida.

Peruvian Village Is Dead and Buried

RANRAHIRCA, Peru R Little could be done for this An dean village but mourn the vic tims of thunderous avalanche. Ranrai1irca is already dead and buried. There is nothing to re- build. There is no one to rebuild for.
 Forty-five feet of rock and mud entomb this farming village, most of it's Indian peasant residents, it's Roman Catholic Church, it's tile-roofed houses, school and stores.
 It is now considered futile to try to unearth the debris in search of the dead, although d few poke around in the morass in search of relatives and friends.
 Ranrahirca, once a peaceful vil- lage nestled in Huylas valley un- der towering snow-capped peaks, is tomb. Perhaps services will be held over it later.

Duckeft Hints
No Shift for
State Senate
Ruling Expected
On Apportioning
In Coming Week
By PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS. June 15.-cir-
cult Court Judge o. Bowie
Duckett has indicated he will
not order reapportionment of
the Maryland Senate to give
the urban areas more repre-
sentation.
He said he probably will not
rule on the issue until next
week, but he indicated during a
hearing yesterday he feels
strongly that one house of the
General Assembly should be
based on geography rather than
population.
The judge not only appeared
reluctant to change the make
up of the Senate, but seemed
disturbed that the courts have
entered the reapportionment
field at all.
Justice Harlan hit the nail
on the head when he said that
What the (Supreme) Court is
doing reflects more an adven-
ture in judicial experimental
ton than a solid piece of con-
stitutional adjudication" Judge
Duckett said.

who has chased the fires

Fire engines always fas-
cinated him. He grew up five
doors away from the No. IS
Engine Company at Tenth
and G streets S.W. AS a child
he would wander down there
and stare at the wagons and
the horses standing by ready
to pull them through the

ministration said there should
be some leeway on rehousing
when a project of an emergency
nature was under considera-
ton.
Mr.. Tobriner also said he
was concerned that the legis-
lation would not guarantee
establishment of a central
relocation service. Under the
bills provisions, he noted,
establishment of this central
service depended upon agree
ment by the land agency.
Mr.. Lowe said that the Dis
trict would, however, be given
authority to bring its reloca-
ton aid in line with the land
agency's. This. he noted, is the
major goal.
Questions raised by Assistant
Engineer Commissioner Thomas
K. Fullerton, who heads the
city's urban renewal office, in
cluded the fact that the bill
provides no ceiling on moving
expense payments for business
firms.
Cover Business Losses
Col. Fullerton said that the
land agency expects that the
moving payments for the II
remaining businesses in the
Southwest area will average
$4,000. This financial aid is
designed to cover not only the
actual expense of moving, but
the business losses suffered
through displacement.
Col. Fullerton said that, using
this average figure, the 50-odd
businesses to be moved during
the next fiscal year to make
way for construction of the
east leg of the Inner LooR
freeway would cost the District
more than 50 million If the no.
ceiling provision in the pro-
posed legislation is permitted
to stand. IA
Col. Fullerton also questioned
the bills omission Of displace-
ment aid. to those moved by
Federal Government projects
and the inclusion Of assistance
to residents moved by nom
Government action.

MIR. SUTTON'S MOST
SERIOUS fire-fighting acct
dent came in January, 1858,
when Al firemen were in
jured in a battery shop ex-
plosion at Tenth and H
streets NE. He suffered az
fractures of his legs and a
brain conclusion, but was
back at work seven months
later.
In 46 years of service, he
has collected awards and
honors and true friendships.
Once he was able to hear
only half the accolades
heaped on him at a Man of
the Year" testimonial dinner.
This was in 1860, when he
left early to- direct the fight
ing of a multi-alarm ware
house fire in his dinner
clothes.
But Wednesday night, with
his new-found leisurelinesS,
Mr.. Sutton looked at pictures
of horse-drawn fire engines,
received a certificate of ap-
probation written in English
and Chinese from the Chi
Am Club and ate an eight
course Chinese meal.
All-around the room, chop
sticks were expertly handling
the beef and turnipS, egg foo
young, sweet and sour pork,
fish and rice.
There is a fine if you use
silver" said one of the non
Chinese members of the club.
"I always pay the fine before
the meal and get it over
with"
Mr.. Sutton was exempt
from the fine as a guest, but
he was prodded into a try
with the chopsticks. He shook
his head as he quickly re-
placed them with a fork.
Later, he rose to say good
by, and in the fewest OF
words disclosed why he is
so well-liked: Friendship,
in my opinion is the founda-
ton of everything"
