House Passes
 Pre-Registration Of Voters Measure

JUNEAU H1 - A Dill which would require pre-registration of all voters for statewide elections in Alaska passed the House today by vote of 25-14
 It will be held in the House. however, for at least another legis- ative day on a notice of recon sideration given by Rep. John Rader
 Rader and Mike Gravel both changed their votes to the prevail ing side in the final role call, so as to be in a position to move for reconsideration and bring the bill before the chamber again.
 The vote came after the House had labored through the lunch hour in beating back all but one minor amendment of the bill.
 And it wound up in a flare of tempers when Rules Committee chairman C. M. Binkley moved to adjourn in an effort to cut off Raiders shouted notice of recon sideration.
 The bill was State Affairs Committee substitute for one sub mitted by Gov. Wm. Egan which would simply have required pre- registration in cities or organized boroughs where 5000 or more votes had been cast in the 1862 general election.
 When this bill came down, i
 was registration bill just fo

 said.

 In answer to statements mad , earlier that the measure woult , prevent fradulent voting, Rade said that no one was proved t, have voted illegally in the las election, and that certain physica errors which were made in ballot ing would not be changed by pre-. registration.
 "No one is particularly afraid of fraud" said Binkley.
 "The only reason for this bill is to protect the legal voters from having their votes cancelled out by an illegal vote.
 'This measure would give the time necessary to check the voter registrations, and make registra- tion requirements uniform through | out the state"

"Ao11IAN1lO OlN hI - IToSlQeIlL Kennedy said today "No," he is not satisfied with the rate of with drawal of Soviet troops from Cuba.
 Kennedy also left open ques- tion of whether four American fliers killed in the 1861 Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba were en- ployed by the US. government or its Central Intelligence Agency He said "the men were serving their country but dodged a direct reply on grounds it would not be helpful to the national interest to go into details.
 And Kennedy rejected any ap- plication of a blockade to shut off the supply of oil to Cuba. He said there should be no mistaking that blockade is an act of war, and added:
 At this time, we do not be- lieve war in the Caribbean is to the national advantage"
 On a key domestic matter - taxes - the President said it is his pigment that Congress will put through a bill which will lower taxes and also provide for what he calls tax reforms. That, he said, is what he wants.
 But at Presidential news con- ference, more questions focused around Cuba than on any other topic.
 With respect to the Soviet troops aspect of the troubled Cuban situa- ton, a three-part question was fired at the President. He was asked CD whether he has any in- formation on how many troops remain in Cuba, CD whether he is satisfied with the rate of with drawal and (3 whether the Rus sain promise to pull out troops permitted verification. Replying to all three parts together, Kennedy said:
 ''The answer would be, really mo-"
 AS for the fliers killed at the time of the 1861 invasion fiasco, there has been widespread specu- lation that they were on the pay roll of the CHA. The National Broadcasting Co.,, in a report from Washington by Martin Agronsky, said last night the fliers definietly were employed by CHA and their widows each are receiving $225 from CHA funds every two weeks.
 Kennedy was smiling slightly when he walked into the State De- partment Auditorium for his ses- sion with newsmen-the first in the morning in nearly year. And he got in on a wave of laughter

LADY RUMoRED TO BE NEXT
BRIDE OF WILLIE MAYS IS
ADEPT AT DODGING QUESTIONS
By CONRAD CLARK

Richmond, Calf. (ANP) - At
ter a few days visiting San Fran
cisco, 1 took a bus ride to this
city, to learn if there is any truth
to persistent reports that Willie
Mays and Mrs. Dolores Kemp of
this city, have wedding plans.
I first visited her home, at 228
South 10th Street, but the only
response I received when I raped
on the front door, was the barking
of a small dog that came to the
screened window.
After waiting a few minutes, I
decided the lady was not at home,
so took a Is minute walk to the
business district of the city, to call
on her at her place of business. !
The 31-year-old Mrs. Kemp, who
speaks very softly, is the mother
of three daughters, and has denied
that there is any truth that she
and Willie will be married
In addition to asking her about
the coming wedding to Willie, she
was also asked if it were true that
Willie had taken her along to ap-
prove his new 100000 Forest Hill
home before he bought it.
Willie, who was recently hon
ored in New York as the Baseball
Player of the Decade, has since re-
turned to San Francisco to begin
putting the final interior touches
on the new home. This is what he
said on his return from New York:
II hope to move in during the
month of December, and move
there to stay. You know ever since
the World Series ended, I've
thought about it and about one
thing most - how great it was
that we could give San Francisco
a pennant. Really, now, 1 mean it.
This is my town and I can see it
all from my windows - the
bridges, the reservoir, the Bay and
the trees. Man, I'm home"
Mrs. Kemp evaded the question,
but did say that they were friends.
She admitted that he did date her,
but denied the report that her 1862
robins egg blue Thunderbird was
a present from Willie.
In regard to the ring IA diamond
one) on the third finger of her
left hand, she said it was Just a
dinner ring"
Mrs. Kemp is manager of the
Mulen's jewelry store, and when I
said to her, Mrs. Kemp, I am sor-

for New York, and regret very
much that I will not be here for

Willie Mays To Become
1st Negro 100000
Baseball PIoYer

San Francisco (ANP) - There
was belief here last week that Will
lie Mays will be rewarded for his
"money-playing efforts" in the
1862 pennant season with a sub
stantial raise by the San Francis
CO Giants that would make him
the fourth $1OO,OoO-a-year player
and the first Negro to earn such
a salary.
Mays received an estimated $9e,-
900 last season to make him the
highest paid player competing in
either league.
Mays money plays included bril-
liant performances in the season.
end playoff games against the Los
Angeles Dodgers. Willie, regarded
as the games greatest center
fielder, also hit four-bagger that
forced the pennant playoff.
In regular season play, Mays
captured the major league home
run title with a total of 49. and
drove in 141 runs, the highest of
his career. He also batted .304, his
lowest average since 1856.
The belief that Mays is due for
a substantial raise in salary was
expressed after Charley Feeney,
San Francisco vice president said
THE club had a good year and
obviously most of the players are
in for raises next year 1889.
If he is given a 100000 con-
tract, Mays will join Ted VIII
liams Of the Boston Red Sox and
Joe DiMaggio of the New York
Yankees, both retired, and Stan
Musial of the st. Louis Cardinals,
who have all been paid 100000
