Japanese Mother Reports
Burglary of Son, 21 ’
TOKYO, (£)—Mrs. Katsuo Mu
tao, a maid in a wine shop, told
police Tuesday how a burgler had
broken in, bound and gagged her,
and made off with 20,000 yen
($55).
After she freed herself, she said,
she thought a “long time” before
telephoning police.
She had got a good look at the
burglar, she said, and he was her
son, Mitsuo Muto, 21, who had
left home a year ago.

Boys" Patrol Will
Protect Children
Within the next week or so the
Nome Schoolboy Patrol will be on
the streets in the vicinity of the
school, protecting the children at
the crossings and around the
school.
These boys are not being hand
picked by the Police Department,
but are going to be schooled in
protecting property and learning
traffic laws from the school up.
They will serve without pay and
will be out in all kinds of weather
to protect the children.
Police Chief Webb says:
“We will endeavor to make
them an asset to the community
from this time on. I feel proud as
the other members of the depart
ment in starting this patrol, as I
understand that it is the first time
it has been tried in Nome, outside
of the Junior Police, which has'
functioned in the past.”
The boys will be taught traffic
signals and Alaska traffic laws,
and they will be taught the safe
way to help children from the
school in case of fire.
“I want to thank the business
men and individiuals of the com
munity that have donated money
for the purchase of part uniforms
and badges for the patrol,” said
Webb. %

14 Committees
Start Drafting
Constitution
FAIRBANKS, OB—'The Alaska
Constitutional Convention finally
launched itself today into the task
of writing the document that will
serve as the foundation for the
proposed State of Alaska,
At 2 p.m. yesterday, the 55 del
egates had completed all the pre
liminary details to the task of ac
tually framing the constitution.
Committees had been named,
permanent employes appointed,
and the rules to cover the conven
tion accepted. Then the conven- *
tion officially split itself up into
14 different committees and each
began its writing task.
The first three committees to
meet were ones on the legislative
branch, the judiciary and on fi
nance. At least five committees
planned meetings today.
The delegates to the historic
convention have been putting in
long days, starting at 9 a.m, and
continuing until 5 and 6 p.m, and
even holding some evening ses
sions.
i At present, only a brief plenary
session of all the delegates is held
in the morning, before they split
up, but by next week, President
William Egan said, sufficient com
mittee work should be completed
to permit the delegates to hold
longer plenary sessions in a body
to discuss the committees’ work.
The schedule of the planned
committee work has been worked
out carefully, but most of the del
egates are on more than one com
mittee, and some on as many as
i three. Meetings therefore have to
be scheduled so as not to overlap.
The scheduling of the meetings
so that a delegate is not required
to be in two places at once has
been called by one of the re
searchers on the convention staff
as a “mathematical miracle.”
