Committee’s Proposal on
Alaska State’s Capital
Would Let Voters Choose
FAIRBANKS —A recommen
dation that Juneau remain Alas
ka’s capital temporarily, with the
voters to be called on after a 10
year period to decide the perman
ent site, was placed before dele
gates to Alaska’s Constitutional
Convention Wednesday.
The Resolutions and Recom ■
mendations Committee, headed by
John Cross of Kotzebue, brought
in its report. It provides that 10
years after the constitution is
adopted, the legislature would be
directed to make a study of a per
manent location. Then the voters
would decide at the next election.
A favorable vote of 65 percent
would be required to decide the
site. If such a margin were not ob
tained for any one site, the two
communities receiving the most
votes would be placed on the
ballot again. This time, 55 percent
would be the required margin.
The committee’s proposal was
sent to the Rules Committee for a
place on the calendar, as no dis
cussion is permitted on first read
ing.

Love-Crazed Youth Who
Killed Three Persons,
Shot Down By Posse
VANDERGFIFT, Pa., UR—A love
crazed youth who killed three
persons and wounded two others
died last night six hours after he
was shot down in a gun fight with
a posse that hunted him for 16
hours.
John Fallone, 17, died at a hos
pital where his would-be girl
friend, Glayds Smail, 15, lay in
critical condition from shots fired
into her chest by the berserk boy.
Her parents and her uncle were
shot down by Fallone Wednesday
night in this rural community.
A policeman, wounded by Fal
lone as the nearly 50-man posse
closed in on the youth yesterday,
was reported in satisfactory con
dition.
About 100 shots were fired in
the exchange between Fallone and
the posse before a sharpshooting
state policeman picked off Fallone
as the youth stuck his head out
from behind a tree stump
