MY HOW YOU’VE GROWN—AGAIN !
A Hazard Exists -- So Let’s Fix It!
THE NEW ROAD TO THE AIRPORT is a popular
road where cars may travel and the drivers wish
for the day when there will be many mere miles of
asphalt. There is, however, one thing wrong with
the road. It is the most dangerous stretch of road that
we have. When -icy, the asphalt will be treacherous
on the turn just past Belmont Point. It should not be
necessary to wait until there is a casualty before a
guard rail is installed.
The new state has been advertising a safety code
which tightens up the law in respect to drivers and
insurance. This safety code should also provide that
hazards on the roads be properly marked.
This particular hazard is within the city limits
hut is on a highway,thoroughfare. It is a little con
fusing to place the responsibility for this safeguard
but the fact remains that the hazard exists for every
one who drives over the airport road.
Winter is not far away—action should be taken
immediately to correct the condition.
Civil Rights Commission Recommends
Federal Voting Registrars to Assure
%
Minority Groups the Right to Vote
WASHINGTON, UP> — Use of
federal voting registrars where
necessary was recommended by
the Civil Rights Commission yes
terday to assure Negroes and
other minority groups the right
to vote for federal officials.
Southern senators promptly de
nounced this and other recom
mendations as “extreme shock
ing,” and a “program of deceit
and distortion.” They said they
would oppose legislataion needed
to carry it out.
“It has become apparent that
legislation presently on the books
is inadequate to assure that all
our qualified citizens shall enjoy
the right to vote,” the Commis
sion said in a report to President
Eisenhower and Congress.
That recommendation was ap
proved by five members of the
six-man commission. The sixth,
John S. Battle of Charlottesville,
Va., dissented, saying present
laws are adequate.
Use of federal registrars, Battle
added, “would place in the hands
of the federal government a vital
part of the election process so
jealously guarded and carefully
reserved to the states by the
founding fathers.”
Three of the six members went
further, and proposed a consti
tutional amendment to prevent
voting discrimination. They pro
posed assurance of the right to
vote to every citizen who meets
his state’s age and residence re
quirements and who is not legally
confined at the time of registra
tion or election.
The proposal would wipe out
educational and other require
ments which some states demand
of voters and which, the three
proponents said, provide the way
when there is the will to dis
criminate. I
Hawaii and Alaska to be
Given More Road Money
WASHINGTON, (A»t— Steps are
being taken to give Hawaii and,
Alaska additional funds for road
construction under the federal
highway aid program.
When the interstate and de
fense highway portion of the aid
act was set up, Hawaii and Alaska
were not included for an allot
ment of mileage as assigned to the
then 48 states.
The Senate Public Works Com
mittee has now instructed the Bu
reau of Public Roads to submit,
before Jan. 1, 1960, a proposal for
mileage allotments for Hawaii
and Alaska.

Three Bombings
Give Little Rock
integration Jitters
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., M —
Three night bombings threw Lit
tle Rock into a new case of inte
gration jitters Tuesday.
The blasts Monday night echoed
through town in rapid succession.
The first bomb demolished a
station wagon of Fire Chief G.
Nalley in front of his home. The
second one hit the school board
j building and the third the
mayor’s office.
Police poured out in force with
riot guns, patrolling and barri
cading streets around the four
public high schools. Two of the
! schools were integrated by five
I Negroes Aug. 12.
No one was injured but police
I suggested to school board mem
| bers that they and their families
leave their homes and spend the
j night elsewhere.
Damage was heavy at the of
fice of Mayor Werner C. Knoop
in a construction company which
he heads. A large steel screen on
the front of the building was
knocked into the street by the
blast which tore a hole three feet
deep in a flower bed. Windows
were shattered in nearby houses
and a church, and debris was
flung over a wide area.
One room of the school board
building was wrecked and win
dows were shattered. The con
cussion from the bombing there
blew out windows of the Carme
lite Monastery next door where
Catholic nuns were asleep. None
was hurt.

Baek From Bar
Assn. Meetings
James von der Heydt, president
of the Alaska Bar Association,
returned last week from Miami
where he attended the meeting of
the American Bar Association. On
his way back he presided at a
meeting of the Board of Gover
nors of the Alaska Bar Assn,

At this meeting, 20 applicants
were approved to take the exam
ination for admission to the Alas
ka Bar Association. The examin
ations are to be held the first
Monday in October at Anchorage,
Fairbanks and Juneau.
The Board of Governors also
recommended to the Court ad
mission of U. S. Commissioner
Leon A. Halgren on recoprocity.
It was determined that his char
acter, professional and education
al qualifcations measured up to
the standards of graduation from
an accredited law school, five
years practice in Utah, and ap
proval by the National Confer
ence of Bar Examiners.
The vacancy caused by John
Dimond being appointed to the
'Alaska Supreme Court resulted in
the election of Clifford Groh of
Anchorage to the first vice-presi
dency, and Robert Jernberg to
the second vice-presidency of the
Beard of Governors of the Alaska
Bar Association.
Robert Boochever of Juneau
was selected to fill the vacancy
left by John Dimond’s resigna
tion from the Board of Gover
nors.
Tom Stewart of Juneau was
designated Legislative Committee
Chairman to replace John Di
mond who was the committee
chairman. Donald Burr was se
lected to fill the vacancy on the
Ethics Committee resulting from
Buell Nesbett’s resignation to as
sume duties as Chief Justice of
Alaska’s Supreme Court.
President von der Heydt re
ported to the Board of Gover
nors on his representation of the
Alaska Bar Assn, at the American
Bar Assn, meeting in 31iami. He
stated “The interest in Alaska is
tremendous. All people have to
do was know you are from Al
aska and they immediat N stop
ped you to talk about A!', 3a and
its potentialities.”
The Board reaffirm.' i the at
titude of the Bar as expressed by
the May, 1959, Convention, re
quiring candidates for practice of
law in Alaska on a reciprocity
basis to pass the strict character
examination of the National Con
ference of Bar Examiners, to have
practiced for five years and grad
