Mayors Son,
2 Others Die
In Car Crash

Three youths from Orange,
Va, including the son of the
towns mayor, were killed early
today in an auto crash near
Charlottesville.
The victims were: Fielding
Lewis GraSty, 10, son of Taylor
P. Grasty, an Orange manufac-
turer; Thomas Page NORM, ID,
son Of Mayor Robert L. NORM
of Orange, and Delma L. Tan
ner, jr., 10.
They were killed instantly
when their car, driven by
young Grasty, went out of con-
troll on a curve on Virginia
Route % near Shadwell, six
miles east of Charlottesville
and hit a tree.
Deputy Sheriff T. M. Whit
ten of Albemarle County said
the youths were travelling at
a high rate of speed. He said
they apparently were trying
to catch up with another car,
driven by Dennis Scott Wood
riff of Somerset, Va.
Mr.. Woodruff missed seeing
the cars headlights, returned
and found the crash. He was
charged with reckless driving.

tions."
Commission members said
they were forced to dismiss
four Of six complaints made
under the ordinance last year
because the exemption was
claimed.
The report added that a new
Maryland public accommoda-
tons measure has a similar
exemption, but commission
members believe Montgomery
County has the authority to
regulate taverns under its
police powers.
Council members accepted
the report without comment
pending a JOINT meeting with
the commission on Tuesday for
discussion.

1t is anticipated, according
to Mr.. Broyhill, that the total

In other action the council
instructed the city attorney to
draw up an ordinance requir-
ing that changes of land use
for several specified purposes
would no longer be permitted
solely by obtaining a special
use permit from the planning

County Rights Unit Hits
'PortioI' Concessions

The Montgomery County HUI
man Relations Commission has
reported that promises and
artial concessions of citizen
ship to the Negro population Of
the county are insufficient to
peace and order in our
country"
In its second annual report,
submitted yesterday to the
county council, the commission
urged that the county's public
Accommodations law be changed
by removing an "odius exemp-
ton clause" now granted to
business places whose income
primarily is from the sale of
alchoholic beverages.
The report called the exemp-
ton "a legal umbrella for
taverns, thereby condoning the
small protected public areas
of discrimination"
1.-THE point is this: To remove
the exemption clause is to re-
move all those umbrellas at
once and completely, so that
no place Of business will suffer
loss of revenue" the report
said.
"As long as even one small
place Of business is allowed to
discriminate because of race,
all places of business are I'M
fairly treated. We, therefore,
strongly urge the county coun-
Gil to take the necessary steps
to remove this odiouS exemp-
ton clause.
With this first step. the
council will assert the leader

ment or public utility structures

Approval of the ordinance
would give the city council the
final word on all such con-
Struction proposals.
Mrs. Howard Porter, member
of the board of coming appeals,
objected to the council action
as showing a lack Of confidence
in the planning commission
and coming appeals board. She
stated that the councils inten-
ton to amend the coming ordi-

and based solely on adverse re-
action to the earlier granting
of two controversial use permits.

Republican Committeeman discusses Benefits of Precinct Organization

Benefits to be gained from organizing tighter precinct Re- publican units in all areas of the state were discussed by Bob Ross, executive director of the Republican central commit tee for Alaska, at the Lincoln Day smorgasbord sponsored by the Republican Women's Club of the Matanuska Valley on Feb. 8.
 Ross, who has been working throughout the state on pre- cinct organization, reported that there are now g organized precincts on the Kenai penin- sula. He stressed the impor- tance of public education, say ing that each Republican should spread news by word of mouth about what their To- cal representatives and sena- tors are doing.
 According to Ross, organiza- ton, money, and candidates are of primary importance in an election. He said money must be raised the year before an election to be of the most use.
 The executive director said he would like to see the Re publican conventions held in the odd years instead of the even. He added that he had hoped that the Republicans would not organize the House this year, but since they have, he feels there will be more necessity for good precinct work.
 The party is now in danger of being misunderstood and misquoted. We must be vocal and loud in our explanations of

 Tt is admittedly true that as a society we are over-organiz- ed and some families belong to so many clubs that they have no time to themselves, he said However, government IS our biggest and most important business, and should take prior ity over other club work.
 Ross concluded with a refer enee to the Greek word, .idio- tus' which means, "A Person who does not work for good government"

REID HAS PART IN DEADLOCK BREAK:
 REPORTS ON COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES

Eugene Reid, District ' re- presentative in the Alaska House of Representatives, was involved in some behind the scenes activities during the caucus that preceded t h e breaking of the deadlock, 1t was reported recently
 Reid, who became increas- ingly disturbed over the fail ure of the membership to set tie on a speaker, finally took the floor and vehemently ex- pressed his and his constitu- ents' feelings regarding the waste of tax money and recom- mended that his party cooper ate with the Democrats is settl- ing the deadlock. After he strongly urged that the White head proposal be accepted, it was brought to a vote and was accepted unanimously.
 This broke the deadlock and shortly thereafter the speaker was chosen. Representative Binkley moved that the group owed Reid an expression of thanks, which was given in ap- plause.
 Reid wrote from Juneau re gently that in morning sessions of the legislature a number of bills have been introduced, some quite controversial, and the most of the time in session has been taken up with first. second, and third readings of resolutions.
 Committee meetings take up most of the afternoon, he said, Monday afternoon in the Health, Education, and Welfare

 AND ANSWE FRS

QOf"o HON: My former em- pioyer has closed the plant. am no longer employed. AL though l am only 45, I have been unable to get a job up to this time. Since 1 have 10 years credit under Social Security. can l freeze" my record at this time?
 ANSWER: No. The only pro- vision for freezing a social se- eurity record is in the case of permanent and total disability. In your letter you did not men, tion being disabled, therefore, this provision would not ap- ply in your case.
 QUESTION: I'm "A, and applied for social security re- tirement benefits in October 1861. l was turned down be- cause l had not worked long enough under social security to qualify. Would voluntary pay ments into social security made by me be acceptable?
 ANSWER: No. Voluntary contributions cannot be ac- eepted since the Social Secur- ity law makes no provision for this arrangement. You must work on a job covered by so- cial security or have self-em- ployment income from your own business in order to pay the social security tax and get the credit.
 QUESTION: If I earn over $1200 during the year I retire, will I lose my social security benefits for the rest of that year?
 ANSWER: No. Regarding how much you earn in year, you can still get benefits for any months in which you neither earn over $100 in Wag- es nor render substantial ser vices in self-employment. Even if you take a job after you re- tire, you may still be able to get benefits for some months. depending on the amount of your benefit and how much over $l200 you earn.
 QUESTION: I will file a claim for benefits when l reach age 62 in March, 1863. l have been f-employed as a fish erman and have had some good years and some bad ones. When should I file for benefits and what shall 1 bring with me at that time?
 ANSWER: Get in touch with your Juneau social security of flee at any time after the first of January 1863, and file your application for benefits Bring your birth certificate or other documentary evidence to prove your age. It will also be neces- sary to submit a copy of your tneq +av returns (Form l040, schedule C and proof of pay ment of your 1862 taxes). So please file your return with in- ternal revenue service before you file your claim.

JUST AS 1862 was a significant year, SO 1868 holds all
the possibilities for a repeat, and even greater year.
GOING INTO 1868, the United States and the free
world are in a rather favorable position, having contain
ed Communism, and retained the balance Of power. AS time
passes, the frightening prospect of the Communist world
dominating in every sphere is considerably lessened. No long
err, tor example, do the big nations control the U. N. The
smaller nations now have a voice, and are being heard.
BUT MOST significant to US here is the local picture.
AS matters now look, what of 1868? Many Of the usual pro-
blems still remain with us. There is, OF course, always the
wafer problem. wells have been dug, but these are not
enough. Ibis means that some spectacular, farreaching pro-
gram will have to be put into effect.
ON the heels of the water problem is the
matter OF electrical power, without which little can be done,
tor 1t IS neeued III industry, agriculture, and the tourist trade.
In this day and time, a CITY or town without adequate cleo
tric1ty is IN a hopeless position. These Islands are growing by
leaps and bounds, and there is no point whatever in just
putrlng the output up just a little. we might as well think
in terms of twice or three times the output.
BUT H Administration has another problem which
it should try to resolve Immediately There is the feeling that
this administration, though under the label Of the Demo
cratic Party, is not asserting the leadership it has, and thus
Democrats feel some sort Of void in things political That
should be corrected quickly.
THERE ARE other goals which should not escape all
out attention, in addition to the big, major problems. Accre-
citation should come to our high school as soon as possible,
now more than ever, since we have a college, whose stand
ing will be impaired if the high schools are not accredited
1862 HAS BEEN a great year, but bigger and better
things are in store for '65, including a continued rise of ma
tive recognition and ability, and an expanded field of OPP
portmity right here at home. What we make Of this year
is largely in our hands.

East-WeSt theater. In a new
71O-Seat theater flexible enough
to accommodate productions
from Kabuh and Noh to modern
Broadway musicals, it will
launch a three-play repertory
season.
The first Of the trio, to be pre-
scented on successive nights, will
be the KabuH work, Benton

translated into English but
purely japanese in form and
style. The following night, De-

later Hawaii's East-West thea
ter'S repertory company will
pay its cheerful respects to the
motherland with a production Of
"0f Thee / Sing"
The season will come to an
end on December %, giving the
company, chosen from the inter-
racial community and the uni
versity's drama department, a
Christmas respite.

Washington, where theaters
are disappearing or threatening
to disappear at a disconcerting
rate, has been an important fac
tor In the building Of Hawaii's
East-WeSt. In the words of Hazel
Cunningham, this departments
informant on things dramatic
in Honolulu:
"The state of Hawaii and the
Federal Government this fall |
quietly began a unique expert
ment designed to further East
West understanding through the |
medium of the theater.
Few persons outside Of Ha-
waii (and, for that matter, rela-
lively few in the islands, are
aware that the Congress of the
United States has appropriated
a million dollars to establish in
Hawaii a facility where the rich
theatrical traditions Of Asia
may blend with those Of west
ern civilization"
EaSt-WeSt theater's program,
utilizing the international fac
ulty and student body Of the
University of Hawaii, will be
under the direction Of DR.. Earle
Ernst. DR.. Ernst, one Of the
leading western authorities on
Kabud and japanese theater
generally, says Of the theater's
program:
ct could happen nowhere
else. Historically, we here in
Hawaii are prepared for it. The |
unigersity's drama department
has presented both contempt
rary and classical plays of the
East, Non and Kabuki, Picking

As a scholar with a particular
enthusiasm for the theater, DR..
Ernst is also a singularly mod
est man in the field, according
to Miss Cunningham. On the
score Of the EaSt-West theater's
first repertory productions, he
can say they may not be the

will focus attention on a federal
