Committee Will Get the Facts On
 Buildup In Cuba

WASHINGTON LR - Sen. John Stennis, O-Miss), called a meet ing today of the Senate Prepared ness Subcommittee and promised it twill get all the facts on the military buildup in Cuba"
 The facts were demanded yes terday by Sen. Kenneth Heating, R-N.Y0, who told the Senate that:
 l. A large Soviet ship unloaded a cargo of armaments in Cuba last Friday.
 2. "There is continuing, abso- lutely confirmed and undeniable evidence that the Soviets are main taining the medium range missile) sites they had previously construct ed in Cuba"
 ''There has been no move to dismantle three sites or withdraw the launching equipment, as one would expect if the Soviets intend ed in good faith to keep these mis- siles out of Cuba in the future" ," said Heating.
 Shortly after Keating's speech, Pentagon spokesman confirmed that two more Soviet ships had ar rived in Cuba but added ''there is no evidence that either carried of- fensive weapons"
 But the Pentagon spokesman flatly denied Keating's claim that the Soviet missile bases were still intact, saying:
 Concrete launch pads were broken up and other parts of the installations were destroyed. There is no evidence that these sites are usable, that they are being used for any military purpose, or that they are being maintained"

Cordova Chamber Urges
 Use of State Ferry Chilkat

JUNEAU LR - A resolution by the Cordova Chamber of Com merce urging the use of the state ferry Chilkat on a Cordova-Valdez- Whittier run was read to the State Senate yesterday.
 The Cordova Chambers resolu- tion, sent to Sen. Harold Hansen of Cordova, pointed out that the Copper River highway will not be completed within the next 2 years.
 A boat ferry system connecting Cordova with the state highway network at Valdez, the Chamber said, would start economic expan- sion of the area in anticipation of the completion of the Copper River highway.
 The Chamber said the Chilkat, previously used on a Juneau Haines-Skagway run, would open new markets for the fisheries pro- ducts of the Cordova area in the remainder of Alaska and Yukon territory.

Kennedy Nominates Franklin Roosevelt Jr. Undersecty. of Commerce

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy has selected Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., a former campaign lieutenant and son of the late President to be Undersecretary of Commerce.
 If the Senate confirms the nomi- nation, the 48-year-old Roosevelt will succeed Edward Gudeman, who is returning to private busi- ness, in the $21 ,000-a-year post.
 Announcement of Roosevelt's designation yesterday opened two avenues of speculation: That he might eventually succeed Luther Hodges as Secretary of Commerce or that he is being groomed for a Senate nomination from New York in 1864.
 Newsmen asked Pierre Salinger, White House press secretary, if there was any understanding that Roosevelt would move up as sec- retary should Hodges resign. Sal finger said he knew of no such understanding and Hodges issued statement describing Roosevelt as "a dynamic and gifted person" !"

US. and Canadian Fishermen Oppose Japanese Fishing

PETERSBURG R - US. and Canadian halibut fishermen agreed unanimously yesterday to urge their governments to turn down a proposal that would permit Japanese fishermen to take halibut in the eastern Boring Sea and herring off the British Columbia coast.
 Such a proposal was made by the International North Pacific Fisheries Commission in Novem
 Der, but must be ratified by the United States and Canada before it becomes effective.
 Delegates from Seattle, British Columbia and Alaska, attending the eighth annual Conference of Fisher men and Vessel Owners, passed a resolution opposing the expansion of Japanese fishery.
 The resolution termed the com missions action "extremely unjust and unfair" to US. and Canadian fishermen and predicted the pro- posal would inevitably lead to the destruction of the halibut, salmon and other fishery resources" along the coast of the two countries.
 The resolution also asked the two governments to express their dis satisfaction with the present North Pacific Fishery Treaty as failing ito give adequate consideration to the rights of Canadian and United States fishermen"

Warren Taylor Joins Republicans in Committee Plan to Organize House

d two days ago." Taylor said, "and I then voted it down myself.
 ''I agreed to go along with the rest of the Democrats to give this Russian roulette thing a chance. But apparently there were no bull lets in the gun," Taylor said.
 He was referring to the earlier proposal by the Democrats that lots be drawn to determine whether the Republicans or the Democrats would organize the House. That proposal was voted down by the Republicans.
 "This all or nothing business is a lot of bunk" Taylor said. "Other legislatures have been tied up and have been able to work out a coalition"
 The House reconvened after it's recess just minutes before the 48 hour deadline which was set two ago by Rep. Earl Hillstrand, D. Anchorage. Hillstrand had said that if the House was not organ ized by eight minutes to twelve today, he would nominate Repub- lican Rep. Bruce Kendall of An chorage for the permanent speak ership.
 That proved to be bust. Hillstrand rose, as promised, and made his motion that the rules be suspended so that he could nom- mate Kendall for the permanent post, but was ruled out of order by the presiding Secretary ot State.
 q have no authority to do any more than preside over this House while it selected a temporary Speaker" said Wade.
 After that, the 18th roll call of the House for the selection of a Speaker pro tenn went down the drain, with 20 Republican votes for Rep. Jay Hammond, and 20 votes for the Democratic nominee, Rep. Robert Blodgett.
 Blodgett then read an editorial from the Anchorage Times urging the House to get on with the busi- ness of organization, in the in terests of the state.
 After Blodgett sat down, Rep. William Boardman, R. Ketchikan. took the floor and told the House that its vote to form the eight-man committee was the first olive out of the bottle.
 we have a committee of four ready to go right now. We can get on with our business and quit this blather."
 Taylor then moved to recess un- til 2:05 and joined the Republicans in approving the motion, 21-19.

By VIRGINIA C. SIMS Associated Press Staff Writer

JUNEAU R-Veteran legislator Warren Taylor of Fairbanks broke with his Democratic colleagues to- day in the bitter battle over or ganization of the House of Repre- sentatives.
 Taylor, who was the Democrats prime candidate for Speaker of the lower chamber, a post he has held since statehood, sided with the Re- publicans in calling for a commit tee of four from each party to talk over means of organization.
 After two hours of bitter par iamentary maneuvering, Taylor's motion for creation of the commit tee passed the House by a vote of 21-19.
 Democratic leaders indicated however, they would not take the action directed by the motion.
 The motion called upon the Democrats to caucus by senatorial district, with each district to name member to a four-man committee which would meet with a commit tee of Republicans to make recom- mendations for organizing the House.
 The recommendations worked out by the eight-man committee would be subject to approval or disapproval by full party caucuses.
 Taylor's motion first asked that a committee of four Democrats be named by Secretary of State Hugh Wade, who has been presiding over the House in the absence of temporary Speaker.
 Wade said, however, that he had been advised by legal counsel that he had no authority to name such a committee.
 An amendment to the motion offered by Democratic floor leader John Rader, of Anchorage, which would have required that all meet ings of the committee be open to the press, the public, and all other members of the House, was defeat ed by the same 1921 vote.
 After Taylor's motion passed, with Taylor voting with the solid Republican block, Wade suggested that the House recess for the sen- atorial district caucuses.
 q have called no caucus" said Democratic floor leader Rader.
 q call caucus of Central Dis trict Democrats in this corner" said Taylor.
 But, when the House recessed, he was left alone.
 The morning sesion was bitter and bloody. Taylor's break came almost immediately after the open ing gavel, and just moments after Rader had asked that the House remain in continuous session until the matter of electing a temporary Speaker was resolved.
 He was scarcely in his seat be- fore Taylor bolted by offering his motion that the Democratic com mittee be named.

Cale-FOrce Winds
 Batter Away at California Coast

SAN FRANCISCO R - Rain swollen rivers surged through hun- dreds of evacuated homes in north ern California today, pushed against hurriedly built sandbag dikes in Reno, Nev., and blocked traffic on main east-West highway and rail routes across the Sierras.
 Gale force winds pounded the northern California coast a third straight day and began an attack on the Oregon coast.
 The battering wind and rain was the power head of chain of storms raging in the Pacific, from northwest of Hawaii to the main land.
 Gusts up to 70 miles an hour lashed the Hawaiian Islands yes terday closing Honolulu Harbor and forcing a jet liner carrying England's Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip from Edmonton to Honolulu to turn back to Vancou- yer, B.C.
 There was no immediate relief in sight.
 The storms meant snow for chilly western Washington where two inches was expected by this morning. The Yakima Valley area received IA inches of snow yester- day. Snow was general in eastern Washington and many schools were closed throughout the state.
 Wind gusts up to 55 mph freed western Oregon from four days of snow and ice. As the thaw extend ed to northern Oregon it produced rain which froze on power lines pulled them down and b1acked out i vast areas from the coast 100 miles inland.
 In northern California and Ne vada the warming rain and snow melt produced more water than the rivers could carry.
 At Reno, National Guard troops sandbagged the Truckee River which runs through the city. Gambling continued normally in nearby casinos.
 In Napa, about 35 miles north east of San Francisco, the Napa River ran bank full, closing sev- eral of the main streets and caus- ing some 40 persons to leave their homes.
 Suddenly rising temperatures sent melted snow gushing into Bancroft in southeastern Idaho, flooding basements and forcing stores to move out stock.
 A chinook wind raised Denver's temperature from 46 to B degrees in 15 minutes and two hours later boosted it another four degrees in one minute

Margaret O'Brien is a chunky,
charming young lady now well
out of pigtails. In a tailored
suit, she's a proper academic

the play with his off-beat char

child is delightful.
"a Thousand Clowns" offers
an amusing situation, and some
funny moments. The line of the
story is at times a little hard to
follow. Occasionally why one &C.
