We Need Alaska Bar Representation ...
SENATOR LESTER BRONSON has introduced a
^ a bill to amend the regulations governing the
Board of Governors of the Alaska Bar Assn., giving
the Second Judicial District representation which is
only just and fair.
As the rules now stand the Second District is not
entitled to a member on the board until there are four
practicing attorneys in this part of Alaska!
The present law provides three practicing at
torneys from the Third Judicial District, three from
the First and three from the Second and Fourth com
bined.
The amendment makes it possible for one of the
two practicing lawyers in this district to be a board
member and represent Northwestern Alaska which
has needs and problems uniquely its own. This bill
will correct another of those situations where injustice
was done, although probably not intentionally.

a^'e^s nn Increase in
Uneni 'I^ ^ ent Benefits
By Norman Walker
DETROIT — Secretary of
Labor Arthur Goldberg Saturday
chartered a permanent increase
in unemployment compensation
benefits in addition to the $1.2
billion emergency idle aid plan j
'already advanced by President
Kennedy.
“We are convinced the general
level of unemployment compen
sation benefits has fallen behind
the times — it has to be upgrad
ed,” Goldberg said in a visit to
this economically hard-hit area.
The Labor Secretary conferred
with business, labor and political
leaders in a stopover on his five
state tour of unemployment areas
to drum up support for the Ken
nedy program.
Goldberg said details have yet
to be worked out on Kennedy’s
plan for permanent expansion of
the unemployment compensation
program. But he indicated federal
legislation will be sought to boost
benefits that up to now have been
fixed by the individual states.
Gov. John B. Swainson, with
whom Goldberg conferred, said
that the benefit level in Michigan
should be increased to make up
two-thirds of the worker’s regular
pay.
Michigan has a state-wide idle
rate of 11.2 per cent of the work
force.
Goldberg said that if proposals
already recommended by the
Kennedy Administration don’t re
sult in a springtime upturn in the
economy the administration will
be ready with a more far-reach
ing program. This could include
tax revisions, he said.
Gambling Law Resolution
“Ruled Out of Order”
JUNEAU UP) — Introduction of
a resolution endorsing the state’s
present gambling law was ruled
out of order Saturday by House
Speaker Warren Taylor.
The resolution had been pre
pared for introduction by Rep.
Henry Pratt of Anchorage.
Taylor said there was no need
for a resolution which endorses
a law that already is in effect.
“That would open the flood
gates to endorsement of every
law that’s in the books, and would
serve no useful purposes,” the
speaker said.
Pratt asked Taylor if it was his
intention to prevent the House
from any expression of its opin
ion and he appealed Taylor’s rul
ing.
The speaker’s ruling however,
was upheld by a voice vote of the
House.
The resolution asked that the
Legislature resolve “that the elec
ted delegates of the people of
Alaska are aware of the dangers
inherent in gambling and dedi
cate themselves to the mainte
nance of the present laws of Alas
ka prohibiting gambling.”
Pratt said later that he had re
ceived much mail on the subject
of gambling, and that he would
bring the matter up against next
week.

Kennedy Has a Two-Hour
Session with Key Advisers
On U. S. - Soviet Policy
WASHINGTON Wi — President
Kennedy talked for two hours
Saturday with a panel of key ad- |
visers on U. S.-Soviet policy. He '■
got a first-hand report from Am
bassador Llewellyn Thompson on
his recent confidential conference
with Premier Khrushchev.
It is now expected that Ken
nedy and Khrushchev probably
will meet for an informal get
acquainted session in a little more
than two months.
The President’s purpose in going
into such a get-together would be
two-fold:
1. To make an initial explora
tion at the summit level — but
not in a summit conference — of
Khrushchev’s purposes in the
present phase of his policy to- j
ward the United States; to find
out whether there are possible
East-West agreements especially
in the field of disarmament.
2. To impress upon Khrushchev
in the most emphatic manner that
the U. S. government is deeply
concerned over the persistent fail
ure of peace efforts in the Congo
and Laos. The United States re- j
gards Communist support for
rebel elements in both places as j
a major cause of trouble.
Sitting in with Kennedy and 1
the panel of ambassadors-ad
visers were Secretary of State
Rusk and Vice President Johnson.
Johnson characterized the two- j
hour session as an “informal talk"
but declined any specific infor- 1
mation about it. There was no
statement from the White House. |

Three Daily Newspapers
PORTLAND* UP — The first
edition of the Daily Reporter came
off the presses at 9 a. m. Satur
day and Portland has three daily
newspapers for the first time in
22 years.
The daily publication of the

published semi-weekly for some
months.
It is staffed by union mem
bers on strike against the Ore
gonian and Oregon Journal, the

first edition had a picture lay
out on the floods and high water
which have hit Western Oregon.
The paper is published in tab
loid form.
Publisher Robert Webb said the
Reporter’s initial circulation as a
daily exceeded 60,000.
