Famine Conditions in Red
China Lead to Execution
Of Communist Officials
HONG KONG UP) — The con
servative British South China
Morning Post said Saturday that
near famine conditions in Red
China have led to the public ex
ecution of Communist party of
ficials.
The paper said students from
Chinese universities visiting Hong
Kong during the current lunar
new year celebrations, told of a
desperate state of affairs in China.
M i s management, inefficiency
and bureaucratic bungling of Com
munist party officials are respon
sible for the current food crisis,
these students said.
Students said they were re
cruited for farm work during the
past few months in an effort to
increase agricultural production.
“While working on farms these
students personally saw several
executions of party secretaries
after public trials for brutality
to farmers and mismanagement in
communes in South China’s
Kwangtung Province ‘to appease
good relations between the party
and discontented people,’ ” the
paper said.

Registration \\ on 3d
Re Required
JUNEAU — The Legislature
had in hand a recommendation i
by Gov. Egan that pre-election
registration be required hence- j
forth in the state’s heavily popu
lated districts.
Egan gave to the Senate,
through the upper chamber’s
Rules Committee a proposal that
all voters be required to register
in those districts where 3.000 or
more ballots were cast in the pre
ceding general election.
The chief executive also recom
mended that cities with a popula
tion of 1,000 or more be given the
right to require pre-election reg
istration if they choose to do so.
As the bill stands now, only
four the state’s 24 election dis
tricts would be required to regis
ter their voters prior to the pri
mary and general elections of
1962.
They are the 2nd District, Ket
chikan; the 5th District, Juneau;
the 19th District, Fairbanks; and
the state’s most heavily populated
District, No. 10, Anchorage.
If a city over 1,000 wishes to
require pre-election registration,
according to the terms of the
Egan bill, it can do so by passing
an enabling ordinance.
The state would stand the cost
of pre-registration.
In the cities where the city clerk
or deputy clerk acts as the regis
tration officer, the state would
pay the city 15 cents for each
vote.
Registration officers and clerks,
other than magistrates, deputy
magistrates, city clerks and de
puty clerks would be paid 15
cents a vote for each vote cast
in the area in which they are
responsible for registration.
These registration officers and
clerks would be designated by
written, published order of the
Secretary of State.
Deputy Magistrate Would Have
Jurisdiction Over Juvenile Cases
JUNEAU l/P> — The House today
passed a bill which would grant
deputy magistrate jurisdiction
over juvenile cases in emergency
situations.
Decisions by the deputy magi
strates would be subject to review
by district magistrates.

States leads the Soviet Uunion in
some phases of the space race.
But she said the Soviets have a
more efficient program.
Prof. Cilia Massevitch, visiting
Italy at the invitation o the Ital- '
ian-Soviet Friendship Assn., said
in-an interview that she was not
a Communist party member. But
she was full of praise for the
Communist system and took a few
raps at capitalism.
Prof. Massevitch, 39, who is in
charge of obeservation of Soviet
Sputniks, said the Soviet Union’s
spectacular space strides were
achieved by making the Soviet
government master coordinator
of all rocket research.
“We have a mastermind order
ing a certain course of research
es,” she said, “and the whole na
tion follows it, with discipline.
This is what leads to great re
sults.”
In contrast, she declared, scien
tific research in the United States
is carried out by both private en
terprise and various government
organs which often duplicate ef
forts in the same direction.
