BILL FOR AI.ASKA PARTICIPATION IN ELECTORAL COLLEGE Under the terms of a resolution introduced by Senator Case of South Dakota on February 8, Al- aska, Hawail and the District of Columbia each would be entitled to appoint “in such manner as the Cor may provide by law” one elector to the electoral college in the choice of the President and Vice President of the United States. The provision is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution and if .adopted by Congress would not be valid unless ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the 48 States. Senator Case, who voted for the Alaska and Hawaii statehood bills as a member of the House last year, stated in part in presenting the resolution to the upper house: “It has occurred to me that granting the territories and the District of Columbia an opportunity to vote for President with representation in the electoral college might com- mand the support of many mem- bers of Congress who oppose state- hood.

Prisoners of Reds Tel! of Capture on Refurn, Switzerland IMMENSEE, Switzerland — (® — Three Swiss Roman Catholic mis- sionaries have returned to Switz- nd after three years in a Chin- Communist prison in Manchuria for alleged collaboration with the Japanese. The three priests, Fa- thers Friedrich Hort, Johann Im- esch and Franz Senn, reported on their experiences in guarded lang- uage, evidently fearful of harming eight other Swiss priests still im- prisoned under sentences ranging from five to 12 years. “We suffered greatly from the unclean habits of the other pris- oners,” Father Hort said. “There was an unimaginable plague of in- sects, vermin and nearly all the priests caught typhus — some of them two or three times. We were not ill-treated by the authorities,” Father Hort said, “but we suffered I'from the malice of the other pris- oners.” A .system of public confession was introduced at the prison, at, which every prisoner had to con- fess his crimes and errors and | demonstrate that he was turning towards Communism, “Under this system, the other prisoners would make false accu- sations against us, in order to enlist the sympathy of the prison Father Hort sald. Italian Movie Star On Sovief Pilgrimage ROME — (7 — Lamberto Maggior- ani, a modest Italian machinist who won film fame as the star of the prize-winning movie, “The Bicycle Thief,” has gone to Mos- ‘| cow as a member of an Italo-USSR cultural pilgrimage, “L’Unita,” the Communist newspaper says. Hard times followed fame for Maggiorani and last January his plight reached newspaper front i pages. The Cooperative for Am- erican Remittances to Europe (CARE) reported that he was pen- niless, unemployed and unable to buy a birthday present for his 12- year-old son, Enrico. CARE pro- vided a birthday dinner with a package which had arrived from New York. Later it was reported Maggiorani had obtained a job. The “Unita” announcement said Maggiorani was a member of a delegation of 20 persons making the trip sponsored by the organi- zation for tween Italy and Russia.

Out of Business Processing of Alaska butter clams. ceased about five years ago when the Food and Drug Administration seized several shipments of clams on the grounds that the product was toxic. Studies by the Labora-| tory have indicated that if the siphons of the clams are removed and other safeguards taken, the resulting pack will be safe and wholesome. | Alaskans have always contended ithat there was no danger involved {in consuming butter clams, the De- velopment Board says, but the Food and Drug Administration was com- pelled under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to initiate regulatory action against their shipment. In announcing thenew clearance, George Sundborg, Development Board consultant, paid high tribute to the scientific work done by the Fishery Products Laboratory. This consisted of sampling numerous Alaska clam beds under varying conditions, testing toxicity of the clams and experimenting Wwith processing methods. Winter Employment The industry is of special signifi- cance in Alaska because it supplies employment to diggers and cannery workers in the winter season when other employment is scarce.
