State of Alaska. ,
“It is entirely likely that our

the Union message that ‘progress
toward statehood for Alaska’ can
be made in this session.”

submitted to you and the Congress
we shall respectfully ask that Al

enjoyed by other American citi

“We shall hope for your support j
in this endeavor.”
Delegates to the Constitutional

the human span of life.

Wrangell Residents Are
Taking Their Drinks
Straight These Days
WRANGELL, Jan. 7, (JV—Resi
dents of Wjrangell began taking
their drinks straight today, even
though the town is on the water
wagon.
Straight—from city trucks serv
ing as water wagons.
A fire station signal at noon no
tified residents there would be no
more fresh water in the city water
pipes until there’s a break in the
freezing weather.
The city reservoir was down to
an emergency point, with only
enough water remaining to take
care of needs of the municipal
power plant. Salt water was in
troduced into the mains for fire
protection.
A spring-fed stream in the city
park must serve as a supply of
fresh water, and trucks carrying
50-gallon containers began dis
tributing it.
There’s plenty of ice available,
so all drinks are “on the rocks.”

Delegates Omit
Wire Tapping Ban
From Constitution
FAIRBANKS W—The wire-tap
ping issue cropped up again Mon
day at the Constitutional Conven
tion and delegates resolved it by
leaving out of the Bill of Rights
altogether a ban on both it and
invasion of privacy.
The session was a stormy one
because the delegates were in the
position of either rejecting or sup
porting a decision on the same
subject that they made Saturday.
They rejected Jt.
All 55 delegates were on hand
to vote Tuesday when a reconsid
eration of vote brought up the is
sue which only 48 delegates were
present to decide Saturday.
The amendment adopted Satur
day and rejected Tuesday gave
protection against the invasion of
privacy as well as unreasonable
search and seizure unless a war
rant were obtained. This had been
adopted by a vote of 27-21. It was
defeated Tuesday, 37-18.
By the time all the amendments
were cleared away, the delegates
found they were right back where
they started—with Section 11 of
the Bill of Rights article presented
by the Committee on Rights. It
reads:
“The right of the people to be
secure in their persons, houses and
other property, papers and effects
against unreasonable searches and
seizures shall not be violated and
no warrants shall be issued but
upon probable cause, supported
by oath or affirmation and partic
ularly describing the place to be
searched and the persons or things
to be seized.”
To date there is no reference in
the Bill of Rights of Alaska’s fu
ture constitution to invasion of ihe
right of privacy.
