In the recent reapportion-
ment decisions rendered by
the us. Supreme Court and
the Maryland Court of Ap-
peals, it was significant that
no distinction was drawn be-
tween representation in the
House and Senate of state
Legislatures. In fact, the high
est court in Maryland speci-
fically called upon the lower
court to study inequities in
both houses of the Maryland
legislature, knowing full-well
that the inequities are far
worse in the Senate. The SUI
preme Court case involving
Michigan was concerned only
with the Senate of that state.
Unfortunately, however,
there are still some well-mean-
ing people who seek to draw
an analogy between bicameral
state legislatures and the us.
Congress, and propose the
federal plan" as what they
conceive to be some sort of
compromise.
The practical results, of
course, would be no compro-
mise. II would be capituIa-
ton TO the small minority OF
the state that has controlled
both houses for so long.
Surely IL must be under
stood by all that the IegisIa-
ton so long needed by the
p0pulOus areas must con-
hnue to go through both
houses Of the legislature.
Minority control Of the Sen.
ate would give this minority
an absolute veto.
In addition to having UNI
sound practical results, the
federal plan" has no aca-
demic justification. The us.
Senate today has two Senators
from each state because the
original states had certain
political power and sovereign
rights of their own that they
had to surrender to form the
union that became the United
States of America. Other
rights were retained by the
states.
Counties do not now have -
and never have had - any
political power or sovereign
rights Of their own. Any polit-
ical power exercised by coun-
tries is exercised only at the
tolerance of the states, and
there is no reason - in theory
or in practice - why a resi-
dent of an Eastern Shore coun-
ty should have twenty-five
times more representation in
the state senate than a resi-
dent from Montgomery
County.
1t seems clear from a care
full reading of both the federal
and Maryland court decisions
that no such result is intended.
And the Maryland Fair Repre-
sentation Committee, as plain
tiff in the Maryland case,
would betray the trust given it
by the people Of Maryland IL
It did not challenge such a
result. We tIus that this will
not be necessary.
The standard Of fairness
set up by the Maryland Com
mittee for Fair Representa-.
ton Is not an unyleIdlng
position that everyone's vote
should be counted with abso-
lutte mathematical equality.
1t comedies that some added
weight should be given TO
sparsely populated areas In
one house Of the legislature.
The Committee simply
thinks the majority of
people should be allowed to
have the majority OF rep.

of the legislature.
While some people show an
honest concern that the major

CHICAGO R New heavy weight champion Charles (Sonny1 Liston said today he would give Floyd Patterson his entitled re- match and after that, I'll fight them as they list them
 At noon press conference, Lis ton calmly picked off questions of several hundred writers as easily as he did Patterson's few punches in his 2:06 knockout of the champ in Comiskey Park last night.
 Somebody asked Liston how he rated Ingemar Johansson, who knocked out Patterson in their first fight and briefly reigned as world champ.
 If he is No. 1, I'll be glad to take him on, he's a good fighter, ; said Liston. Or if Eddie Machen is No. 1, he's next on the list.'
 Jack Nilon, Listons purported manager, said the new champion would have to fight Patterson again, "because- there is million dollar penalty clause in the con- tract. We haven't got that kind of money and We want to fight him again anyway
 Liston drew a big laugh from the press corps when, speaking of his hopes of being good champion he said q hope you fellows give me a chance to com plete my re .. :, my
 He turned to Nilon and said, my re :, you finish it.' He meant rehabilitation.
 Just before the news conference started, a mild commotion devel-

Commissioner Guertin: Financial Report Issued Is True, Correct and Clear

JUNEAU tR = Floyd Guertin, State Commissioner of Admins tration, said today a state financial report issued by his office on Sept. Is was a true, correct and clear statement
 Guertin said:
 Any distortion of the facts is in the interpretation which they (Sen.. Coghill and Rep. KendalD are attempting to make.
 ''The balance on June 30, 1862, is projected to carry through to June 30, 1863, giving consideration to the normal revenues which will accrue to the state during the cur rent fiscal year.
 An indication of the fallacy in their statement is the fact that the state on Sept. 20 had on de- posit in Alaska banks a cash bal ance of $38, ,154 ,5OO.'

Negro Meredill,
 Blocked 4th Time Al Ole Miss Gates

OXFORD. Miss. GR Missis- sippi blocked Negro James Mere dith at the gates of the University of Mississippi today, foiling for the third time in less than a week his plans to enroll at the all-White school
 It. Gov. Paul Johnson, backed by highway patrolmen. barred the 29year-old Negfo's path this time, four times refusing Meredith and five cars of US. marshals at the main entrance.
 We want to take him in.s said John Dom. US Justice Depart ment attorney, the fourth time
 heard you,' snapped John son.
 Then a brief seuffle flared when marshals tried 10 walk through the line of patrolmen. It. Gov. Johnson told Chief Marshal John MeShane:
 You are senseless in trying to show offZin front of teleVision cameras for the rest of the nation to see"
 McShane replied: I'm not show ing off but doing my job as order ed.
 The brief physical contact be- tween state and federal officers ended abruptly. Meredith and his convoy of marshals headed back to Oxford Airport and took off 1T government plane for an unan, nounced destination.
 At this moment, Gov. Ross Bar nett = who twice before turned down Meredith's application fol admission to Ole Miss in defiance of federal court orders - was Is minutes away, speeding north by car Bad weather kept him from flying to Oxford.
 Well" Meredith shrugged to a newsman at the airport, "at least Pm getting a lot of flying time"
 He obviously was referring to yesterdays flight from New Or leans. The adamant governor met him at the door of the state college board office and rejected him.
 Four hours after Barnett openly defied federal court orders and turned Meredith down, the 5th US. Circuit Court of Appeals at New Orleans directed the 64-year- old governor to appear in New Orleans Friday to face contempt charges.

 The former world champion, visiting Seattle on business, view ed the title fight last night on closed-circuit television.
 ''The people who paid were burglarized, Tunney asserted.
 When you put on a fight and expect people to pay for it you must have some sort Of guarantee they will see a show
 Tt is shows like this that are rapidly killing boxing y
 Tunney said he believed Patter- son went into the ring a frighten- ed man.
 He was so frightened he didn't even box said the man who re- tired an undefeated champion in the late 1920s
 Can anyone imagine the cham pion holding on in his first clinch?"
 And if they ever meet again the same thing will happen"

Is There or Isn't There Fund Balance?
Gov. Egan Says There
 ss a General Fund Balance
ANCHORAGE tRl

ANCHORAGE tR = Gov. Wm. Egan, reacting to Republican charges there is no unobligated S244 million balance in the states general fund, said here to- day that the fact is'' there was such balance on June 30, 1862
 We know that on June 30, 1863 there will be an unobligated balance in some similar amount Egan said.
 The governor arrived here with Interior Secretary Stewart UdaII yesterday afternoon and is travel ing with him today to the Kenai Peninsula.
 The general fund balance is the result of the good financial man agement that this administration has exerted through all of our difficult problems, Egan said.
 He said he is ''eonfidents there will be some balance on June 30. 1864 but said it would be pre- sumptious' of him 10 anticipate the work of the legislature.
 Even with a federal tax cut there is good reason to believe there will be q favorable balance in June 1864
 With continued growth and more revenue coming to the state in the future we will soon close the gap with recurring funds talk ing over the slack that came with the expiration of transitional grants the governor said.
 Egan emphasized the cash bal ance should not be defined as a surplus SIt insures that our pro- gram needs will be met.' Budgets are based on anticipated revenues and until particular fiscal year comes to an end actual revenues cannot be determined, he said.

Two COPS Charge State Has No Cash Surplus In Treasury

ANCHORAGE tR - Two Re publican legislators today called upon Gov. Vim. Egan to "correct a widespread impression he has given the people of Alaska that this state has cash surplus in it's treasury of more than S24 million"
 State Sen John Coghill, of Ne mana, and Rep. Bruce Kendall, of Anchorage, the COP minority lead CTS in the Senate and the House, respectively, said in a joint state ment.
 This impression has gained ac- ceptance to point where readers of one newspaper in Alaska have been sending in suggestions as to how this money should be spent.
 No cash surplus exists. We are certain that MT. Egan is aware that no cash surplus exists, yet he allows the impression to stand
 .sThe fact of the matter is that the unobligated balance which existed on June Both, and to which the governor referred in his re- port, actually existed for one day only, on July 1st, this balance be- came a part of the money needed to meet demands of Gov. Egan's huge S70 million budget for the fiscal year 1962-63
 This unobligated balance of June 30th, of which the governor was boasting, was estimated in his budget message of last January, and was appropriated by the leg islature during it's last session. The appropriations b e m effective July 1st.
 Alaska has no actual cash sur plus in it's treasury. The state has been using up all of it's income from every possible source to meet it's annual budgets. Further more, we have been forced to de- pend on unpredictable oil lease income to make ends meet.
 We believe that Gov. Egan owes the people of Alaska a clear and undistorted report on our states financial condition"
 Egan's office announced on Sept. 15 that it had received a fi- nancial report from Commissioner Floyd Guertin of the Department of Administration showing an un- obligated general fund balance on last June 30 of $24,371, ,457.78.

A Shocking
Exnerience

Experience
The fascinating topic Of cleo
tricity and magnetism has re-
Gently been studied, as a part
of their Science work, by the
fifth graders in Mrs. Berneice
Wisecup's room at Chambers
School. In this study they have
been fortunate to have in their
room the son Of an electronics
engineer, who has prepared
classroom demonstrations of
phenomena in this field with
equipment provided for him by
his father.
Here are some Of the expert
ments which he performs. He
first takes a large nail, and
rubs it briskly across the flat
face of horseshoe magnet sew
eral times. This lines up many
of the molecules in the body of
the nail, which is another way
Of saying that it "magnetizes"
it.
His next experiment yields
mluch more striking results. He
takes a long coil of copper wire,
wound in the shape of a hollow
cylinder, to whose ends are at
tached heavier wires leading to
dry cell battery. When he in
serts the nail into the wire
cylinder, and touches the end
wires to the terminals of the
battery, the nail receives a much
heavier electrical charge; it has
become, in fact, an electro-mag-
net. He can then remove the
nail from the coil and pick up
