TOURNAMENT SEASON
GETS UNDERWAY
Iby The Associated Press
The San Francisco Dons and
theiir fabulous All-Am erica
Bill Russell shoot for their
30th straight victory against
Marquette in Chicago Friday
might as the whirl of Christ
mas holiday major college has
ketball tournaments gets un
der way.
The Dons, who snared the
N'CAA crowin last year on the
great (play of the 6:10 Russell,
tangle with Marquette is the
(continued on page three)
Convention
jority to ibe returned to second
reading for changes.
The convention ran into
new tangles yesterday on the
committee report on suffrage
and elections when for the
third time a delegate opened
the issue of requiring that a
voter be able only to “read or
| speak.”
Victor Rivers of Anchorage
moved to strike that section
and let the legislature settle
the question. The motion lost
40-10.
The wording of another sec
tion of the judiciary article
was chanjged so that persons
declared insane would regain
the right to vote iilf their disa
bility was removed .
The convention also took up
the question of contested elec
tions.
In the original committee
report, the legislature was in
structed to provide that a
court of comipetent jurisdiction
determine such elections.
When Sundborg protested
the “ poor old (legislature”
should (be left something to do
the convention changed the
section to allow that body to
provide the manner of deter
mining contested elections,
“which shall include the right
of appeal to a court of compe
tent jurors.”
The Thursday session also
brought a return of the issue
of the voting age, a matter
which has plagued the dele
gates since they decided to set
it at 19.
The majority held fast once
again, defeating <a proposal toy
Irwin Metcalfe of Seward to
set up a referendum on the is
sue at the time the constitu
tion is presented to Alaskans
for ratification.
During the day delegate
Mildred Hermann of Juneau
sipoke in commemoration of
the 164th anniversary of the
ratification of the U. S. Bill
of Rights. In keeping with
this, the convention agreed to
date its own hill oif rights com
mittee report Dec 16, although
it has not yet reached the con
vention calendar.
“We should remember some
of the struggles of the found
ing fathers at this time.” Mrs.
Hermann told l.ihe convention.
“They had no example on
which to found their work.
There was nothing to guide
them. We should rededicate
ourselves ito the principles
that made the 'constitution
and the Bill of Rights the
greatest document Ifor freedom
in the world.”
Comiic relief in a busy day
— which ended at 6 p. m. —
came when Seaborn Rueka
lew of Anchorage asked that
the phrase “non compos men
tis” be substituted for “of un
sound mind” in a committee
