Congress May Adjourn
Next Weekend
WASHINGTON, UPl — Republi
can congressional leaders told
•President Eisenhower Tuesday
there is still some hope that Con
gress will wind up its labors next
weekend.
Sen. Lyndon Johnson, Demo
cratic leader, issued new speed
up orders and indicated some con
fidence. He conceded, however,
that “there is no magic formula
in Saturday” for an adjournment
date.
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore), wh^o
says he is opposing the sort of
legislation that comes out of a
session-end speedup, slowed the
adjournment drive.
Sen. Everett Dirksen, the Re
publican leader said he thinks
“We can get something out of the
fire” on civil rights before the
session is over. But he added he
does not believe Congress can get
through anything more than a
■bill to extend the life of the Civil
Rights Commission and leader
ship agreement to return to the
issue next January.

Killer, Confronted
By Widow, Leads
To The Body
EAST LANSING, Mich., UP) —
The tearful plea of a policeman’s
wife broke down a defiant ex
convict who led officers to the
shallow grave of her husband.
A three-day search ended with
discovery Tuesday of the body of
State Trooper Albert Souden, 29.
He had been shot in the head,
back and leg with his own pistol.
Alvin Knight, 48, the ex-con
vict, underwent 28 hours of ques
tioning by police but it was not
until the dramatic face-to-face
appeal of Souden’s wife, Clara,
23, the mother of a 7-month-old
child, who told Knight: “I’ll pray
for you and forgive you, but
please tell me where my husband
is.”
Knight broke down and told of
! ficers he would lead them to the
body.
Trooper Souden had driven up
to Knight’s home last Thursday
to question him in connection
, with a burglary. Knight said he
received permission from the
trooper to get dressed and while
| he was in his bedroom he picked
up a gun, ordered Souden into
the troopr’s car and forced him to
drive away.
Knight told officers Souden
bolted and ran after they had
stopped the car in some woods.
Knight admitted he then shot the
officer with his own gun.
Knight has spent most of the
last 29 years in prisons and men
tal hospitals in Michigan and
Ohio.

Third Billion-Dollar
Housing Bill In the Mill
WASHINGTON, UP—'The Sen
ate Banking Committee Tuesday
approved a third-try, billion dol
lar housing bill after receiving
assurances President Eisenhower
would sign it.
The committee made only three
changes in the second measure
Eisenhower vetoed last week. But
chairmai! A. Willis Robertson (D
Va) said these changes were
enough to gain definite word from
the White House that the new
version would be approved.
The biggest change in the new
bill is the elimination of a 50
million dollar direct loan pro
gram for college classrooms. This
program brought strong objec
tions from Eisenhower.

C of C Was Nome
Visitor Last Week
The President of the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
editor of the Christian Science
Monitor visited Nome last Satur- !
day. Mr. Ewin Canham was one
of the main speakers at the Paci
fic Northwest Trade Assn., meet
ing in Fairbanks last week and
after the meeting, took the Wien
tour to see more of the vast new
state.
Mr. Canham returned recently
from a trip to Russia where he
attended the Trade Fair. In his
views on Moscow he said that the
people were anxious to obtain al
most anything the could get their
hands on that came from the
West.
As a newspaper man he visited
the biggest newspaper in Moscow,
Pravda, and found that although I
they had the finest presses and J
up-to-date equipment, the print
ers averaged only two hours work
a day in the publication of the
four-page daily. The rest of the
time the presses are idle. The
workmen are housed in buildings
surrounding the news plant.
In Mr. Canham’s address to the
Pacific Northwest Trade Assn., he
gave a short history of the Cham
ber of Commerce, telling how it
started in 1768 by a group of 20
businessmen and that it now num
bers 4,000 charter members in
the United States who are dedi
cated to constantly working to
keep the spirit of voluntarism
alive, maintain community re
sponsibility and to controlling
federal power.
Mr. Canham said: “The Ameri
can way of life in the economic
field is based essentially on the
principle of voluntary and non
coercive cooperation . We need
to recapture the zeal, dedication
and practical exemplification
which have been ours in our great
historic moments. Whatever we
do today is of world-wide signifi
cance. No one of us can afford
the opium of inertia or self in
dulgence.”

Court Upholds
Congress oil Sale
Price of Gold
SAN FRANCISCO, UP) — The
U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled
that Congress and the secretary of
the treasury were acting within
constitutional powers in regulat
ing the sale and processing of
gold in the 'United States.
The law was challenged by Mrs.
Gladys Laycock, majority interest
owner in the Dixie Meadows
Group of mining claims in Grant
County, Oregon.
She had appealed from a Port
land, Ore., federal district court
dismissal of her suit challenging
legality of the treasury action
under the gold reserve act of
1934. The appeals court upheld
the dismissal.
The appeals court decision said
Congress acted within its consti
tutional powers authorizing it to
provide a “sound and uniform
currency for the country.”
Mrs. Laytock had contended
that as a result of the treasury
regulation holding the price of
gold at $35 a troy ounce, she
could not operate her mine at
a profit. She said the mine re
mains idle and has had practic
ally no resale value as a gold
mine athough 240,000 tons of ore
has been blocked out.
Mrs. Laycock’s allegation “that
the price has ruined the gold min
ing industry, even if true, is be
side the point,” the appeals court
said.
“The act was not intended to
encourage gold mining; it is con
cerned only with the monetary
system of the United States. Un
der it the secretary is not re
quired to consider the condition
of the gold mining industry in
setting the price; he need only be
concerned with carrying out the
policy of Congress as expressed in
the act.”
The appeals court said that this
policy “may be found wanting in
a purely political matter, the wis
dom of which is not for this court
to decide. Our concern ends upon
a showing that Congress in adopt
ing a policy acted within its con
stitutional authority.”
The case had stirred great in
terest not only in gold mining
centers of the United States but
in other parts of the world.
