Election Change
Measure Killed in
Alaska House
JUNEAU, UP) — The Territorial
House turned down yesterday a
bill to change Alaska’s primary
election ballot, and in the pro
cess eliminate cross voting be
tween different political parties.
More "than a dozen members
took part in the debate before
the bill was killed by a 13-9 vote,
but its sponsor, Rep. Warren
Taylor (D-Fairbanks) says 'he is
not through and may introduce
another measure to accomplish
the same purpose.
The bill would have changed
Alaska’s so-called blanket pri
mary into a party primary . . .
by the simple plan of changing
the election ballot.
Before 1947, Alaska voters in
a primary election had to declare
their party preference and vote
only on the candidates of that
party. The primary ballots were
changed after that into their pres
ent form—containing the names
of al candidates listed alphabet
ically on the same ticket, with
party affiliations after each
name.
Taylor’s bill is similar to a
measure which passed the House
in 1955 and then died in the
Senate. It would provide for two
columns on each primary ballot
—listing Democrats on cue side
and Republicans on the other.
Under the present system, a
voter in the primary may vote for
both Republicans and Democrats.
Taylor’s bill would prevent that
by disqualifying any ballot which
was marked for candidates of
more than one party.
The opposition to the bill came
from members of the House who
argued that the measure was ill
timed, and should not come up
for consideration 'before action to
change the Territorial election
system.
Proposed changes would redis
trict Alaska and eliminate the
present method of choosing can
didates by judicial division only.
Two such redistricting bills al
ready are before the House, fol
lowing election districts included
in the proposed State Constitu
tion.
The ballot issue had to share
the spotlight yesterday with the
mental health project.

14 Iowans Die in
Rest Home Fire
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, UR—
Fire suddenly enveloped a 71
year-old, three-story rest home
yesterday, killing 14 patients,
many of them in their beds.
Fourteen persons were treated
in hospitals.
Police found Mrs. Annie Orme,
about 75, who had been listed
among the dead, early today when
she tried to enter the back door
of a home in the neighborhood.
She told police she ran out of
the rest home and into nearby
woods as soon as she heard the
building was on fire, and spent
the evening wandering in the
area. She was taken to a hospital
suffering from shock and expo
sure, but was reported in good
condition this morning.
Iowa State Fire Marshal E. J.
Herron and Council Bluffs Fire
Chief Waldo Merrill still were
searching for the cause of the
fire which raced through the old
frame building so fast that the
first fire company to arrive —
about four minutes after the
alarm was given—found it com
pletely in flames.
