DECLARATION OF PARTY AFFILIATION
From the office of the Clerk of the District Court
comes the reminder that Section 38-4-8 of the Alaska
Compiled Laws Annotated is still in effect.
The law requires that every voter must be asked
to declare his or her party affiliation by the duly ap
pointed election judges. The declaration so made is to
be entered in the tally book to become a matter of
record. If the voter declines to designate the political
party of his or her choice, the word “None” will be
entered.
Owing to misunderstanding, a number of voters
were not identified with the parties of their choice in
the 1950 election. Long time members of both parties
were not asked their affiliations and, in many cases, no
entry was made when they volunteered the infor
mation.
Filing of candidacy for public office requires that
the prospective candidate have been a member of his
political party for four' years prior to filing. Failure
to observe the law in this respect could conceivably
make for doubt as to a candidate’s eligibility to stand
for public office.
Adherence to the provisions of the law will avert
much of the discussion and controversy that marked
the recent party caucuses and conventions. Once it is
made a matter of record, there can be no dispute as
to any voter’s party identity.
The Clerk of the District Court has directed all
election officials in the Second Division to comply with
the provisions of the law and has provided detailed
instructions as to the procedure. There will be no ex
cuse for repetition of the errors of 1950.

U.S. Steel Industry
(Continued from Page One)
tling the pay dispute were “fair
and equitable” and the industry
could well afford them.
Truman’s action set off an up
roar in Congress. Sen. Capehart
(R-Ind) said seizure was “illegal” (
and Congress should investigate
the administration’s entire handl
ing of the case.
However, Sen. Morse (R-Ore)
said the seizure action was nec
essary in the circumstances and
in line with “inherent power to
protect the security of the nation.”
