The Prince had been recruited
by a team of entertainers known
as The Goons to meet the Cam

very much better chance to win.”

| GRAND JURY’S REPORT I
The grand jury, which had
been in session eight days, com
pleted its work last week and
submitted its report. The jury,
composed of 17 men and six
women, considered 17 cases in
volving 20 defendants and return
ed 15 true bills and two not true
bills. Following is their report on
offices examined:
Commissioner's Office
We find that fireproof storage
of permanent records is inade
quate in the present quarters. The
new building now under con
struction has an adequate vault
space but is to high and does
not have provision for a balcony
which we consider essential for
proper utilization of the space.
We feel that a ladder would not
1 be sufficient and that a balcony
is a necessity due to the large
size of the docket books and files.
The furniture now available in
this office is very old and in poor
condition.
We recommend that all new
furniture and equipment be fur
nished the office when they move
into the new building.
We believe the janitorial ser
vice provided is very poor. Dust
seems to be a particularly bad
problem.
It appears that the basis of
compensation for commissioners
in rural precincts is very inade
quate considering the high de
gree of responsibility they have.
We recommend that they be
given a salary.
U.S. Clerk of ihe Court
The janitorial service is consid
ered very poor.
The grand jury recommends
that the deputy clerk’s grade be
increased from GS7 to GS7. We
think that the grade in Alaska for
such a position should be at least
as high as that now provided else
where in the United States. In
smaller offices where there is
only one deputy the responsibil
ity of the deputy is almost as
great as that of the clerk, and
should merit a raise in grade.
We believe fire extinguishers
throughout the building should be
inspected frequently.
, U.S. District Court
The location of the library in i
the judge’s chambers is incon
venient, but the new building
seems to have adequate facilities
in that respect.
U.S. Marshal's Office
We believe the marshal should
be provided a vehicle to use in
transporting prisoners, serving I
process and for general police ■
service.
We believe the marshal should
be alloted at least one more room
than is now proposed. Additional
storage space should also be pro
vided and also lavatory facilities.
The grand jury believes more
manuals, text books and other
reference books be provided for
the marshal.
Federal Jail
The grand jury finds the jail
to be in good order and that ade
quate meals are provided. We ap
prove of the educational program
now provided and recommend
that a 16 mm. movie projector
■be provided for this program.
We feel the space and equip
ment provided in the new build
ing should be adequate.
U.S. District Attorney
The grand jury feels that the
District Attorney should be pro
vided with more book shelves,
more storage cabinet and shelves
and a secure and fireproof file
and safe cabinet.
We commend the United States
Attorney for the efficient manner
in which the cases were present
ed to the grand jury.
City Jail
The grand jury found the city
jail to be neat and clean. We feel
the facilities for juveniles is in
adequate and that one additional
room be provided so that there
would be separate facilities to
handle juvenile prisoners of both
sexes. We found the jail menu
to be adequate.
Juvenile Situation
We recommend the local pro
cedure for the original commit
ment of juvenile offenders who
have been take into custody be
clearly established so that the
proper agency will assume cus
tody and that only one agency
will be concerned with the im
mediate problem in the case at
one time.
We believe that a suitable juve
nile dentention facility for de
linquent youths in the Nome area
be established. The grand jury
further recommends that a suit
able juvenile detention facility be
established in the new Federal
Jail now under construction, and1
that if possible, federal and terri
torial agencies share the use of
such facility.

Hope Fades For
I Convict-Author To
Avoid Execution
LOS ANGELES, UP) — Caryl
Chessman’s hopes for .avoiding
execution in the gas chamber
were all but gone today, but not
his grim determination to stay
alive.
“Are you giving up?” asked a*
reporter after a court ruling slam
med the door of the death cell
Chessman had pried open a crack
through 10 years of legal man
euvering.
“I’m not noted for that,” he re
plied.
The 36-year-old convict-author
will return within 10 days to San
Quentin’s death row to await a
state supreme court review of his
1958 conviction on 17 counts of
kidnaping, robbery and sex of
fenses.
The high court has already up
held his conviction and death sen
tence, but by questioning the val
idity of the 10-year-old trial
transcript Chessman won the
hearing climaxed by yesterday’s
ruling. In effect it turns back
the clock to 1948 and makes an
other supreme court review
necessary.
During the 14 - week hearing
Chessman argued that the tran
script, prepared by another court
reporter after the original one
died, was inaccurate and not
suitable as the basis for an ap
peal. Superior Judge Walter R.
Evans ruled against him.
