LASTING PEACE
IS PLEA OF
CONFERENCE
HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN
DEPARTMENT — “The only
possibiity of a lasting peace after
victory lies in developing a spirit
of cooperation between racial and
social groups,” asserts Dr. Ever
ett R. Clinchy, president of the
National Conference of Christians
and Jews.
Dr. Clinchy, who recently ar
rived in Alaska, has concluded
arrangements with Alaskan De
partment headquarters for a tour
of prominent speakers to mili
tary posts on the mainland and
throughout the Aleutians.
“These speakers,” he explain
ed, “will include a Jewish rabbi,
a Catholic priest, and a Protest
ant minister. They will travel to
gether and deliver addresses, each
of which will require approxi
mately twelve minutes. These
These talks will then be followed
by a panel discussion and ques- j
tions will be answered.”
Similar tours to army and navy ;
camps within the continental
United States have met with con
spicuous success and it is now
planned to extend the itineraries
to include overseas theaters.
Speakers, furnshed by the or- i
ganization, will be presented as |
part of the program' of the Armed
Forces Information and Educa
tion branch.
Emphasizing the pressing nec
essity for inteligent consideration
of the subjects that will be dis
cussed, Dr. Clinchy declared:
“Small, but powerful, hatred
groups are springing up, as they
did after World War I., and it
will require clear thinking to
neutralize their menace. It is un
thinkable that such organizations
should ever again be permitted to
victimize the American public.
“We have found servicemen
anxious to participate in discuss
~ ——
ions of a problem that may well
prove to ba the most serious fac
ing the post-war world. An in
dication of their widespread in
| terest was one of our meetings,
, held in the States, where 15,000
soldiers and sailors were in at
tendance.”
Chapain Joseph M. Applegate
Alaskan Department chaplain,
plans to accompany the group on
its tour of military posts. He will
introduce the speakers and offi
j ciate at the meetings.

Sirs:
In your issue of November
13th, in an article commenting
, on the tie between Candidates
Cross and Baker for the House,
you state that the tie will have
to be settled by the legislature.
Section 468 Compiled Laws of
^ Alaska reads as follows: WHO
DEEMED ELECTED: TIE
VOTE: The person receiving the
highest number of legal votes in
each Judicial Division cast in an
election for Senators or Repre
sentatives shall be deemed and
declared elected to such office. It
case of a tie vote the candidates,
thus affected, shall settle the
question by lot. (70-40 USC.)
In any laws or amendments to
the election law subsequently
passed to the original law, I have
not been able to find any meas
ure in any manner altering or
changing this statute. The law
therefor, is absolutey mandatory,
the Legislature, itself, nor the
Canvassing Board has nothing at
all to do with it. It is absolutely
a matter between the candidates
involved and the result has to be
accepted by the Canvassing
Board, as I see it.
I believe this to be a matter
of interest to every voter in the
Territory of Alaska.
Respectfully yours
CHAS. D. JONES.
QURANTINE
