On Friday night only there will be a double feature bill at the Capitol, “Sweetheart of the Camp- us” with Ruby Keeler and Ouzzie Nelson and his band and “Free and Easy”, with Robert Cummings and Ruth® Hussey and good sup- | port.

Such a move is provided for in the Reapportionment Bill, passed recently by the Senate and amend- ed to go into effect immediately. Instead of adopting a Senate Com-~ mittee’s suggestion that the bill be- come effective for the 1945 Ter- ritorial Legislature, the Senale, on the recommendation of Senatoer Carl Hayden of Arizona, passed the bill with the amendment that it should go into effect immediately and that the additional of both houses would be elected lunder the Territorial law which (applies to the filling of vacancies. Jt is believed that the bill now must go back to the House for a second consideration, but this is not certain. The act provides that each of the four divisions in Alaska will have four members of the Senate, in- stead of two. It provides that the House be increased to 24 members instead of 16, to be elected from the four divisions as follows: Division Lineup First Division, eight representa- tives; Second Division, four; Third Division, seven, and Fourth Division, five. in the case of the representatives, divide each judicial division of the | Territory into districts, from which representatives would be elected on the basis of population. If the act goes into effect im- mediately, however, as passed by the Senate, the additional members of both houses would have to be elected immediately. Since no dis- tricts will be set up until the Ter- ritorial Legislature meets next year, the judicial divisions will be al- lowed, evidently, the extra repre- sentatives to be elected at large within each division. Filling of Vacancies The Governor is allowed to fill vacancies by special election. Ac- cording to Territorial Law, the spe- cial election, if the bill becomes ef- fective as passed by the Senate, would be incorporated in the gen- eral election this fall. The bill also provides that in the special election, incorporated in the general election ,the candidates re- ceiving the highest number of votes shall be considered elected. Thus the primary election, which will be held in April, would be apparent- ly of no consequence because a can- didate winning in the primaries could be beaten by his opponent in the general election under the guise of filling a vaeancy. Many officials here have sent | wires to Governor Ernest Gruening |and Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, asking the bill's present status and clarification. Although telegrams were sent last week, no! replies have yeL been received here. e MAXIIIE DAVIS RETURNS FROM TRIP TO SITKA After a busy twenty four hours in Sitka, Miss Maxine Davis, novel- ist and magazine writer, returned to Juneau by plane this afternoon. Miss Davis was enthusiastic about the beauty of the defense | city surroundings and the hospital- ity of its residents.
