Associated Press Staff Writer
JUNEAU IJ** — An even break
of Democrats and Republicans in
the State House of Representatives
in the third legislature seemed
virtually assured today.
Complete, unofficial return s
from all legislative races, includ
ing absentee ballots, gave the De
mocrats 20 seats in the lower 1
chamber and the Republicans an
equal number.
The Democrats will have tight
control of the Senate. 15-5.
The lineup in the House during |
tno past two sessions favored th ■
Democrats, 22-18. The Democrats '
had a 18-7 advantage in the Senate. !
The 20-20 standoff in the House 1
could possibly be broken by a 1
recount in the 10th District, where <
Republican Clem Tillion held a
slim 1.000-982 lead over Demo-!

Plans Recount for
Alaska Governor
FAIRBANKS Uti — The Repub- !
lican State Central Committee an- |
nounced here today it plans to '
ask for a recount of the 56,000 ;
ballots cast Nov, 6 for governor i
of Alaska.
Under state law, the Secretary of '
State cannot accept applications |
for recounts until the official state
canvass results have been an- |
nounced. Recount applications can I ^
then be accepted for Governor
Secretary of State votes for a
period of only three days. The
period is five days on other races. I
“The recount in Alaska probably
won’t change the election out
come substantially,” said George
Cooper, Republican state chair
man.
Showing errors in voting pro
cedure and violations of the voting
law will reveal the need for pre
registration of voters in Alaska,
the State GOP Committee said.
A plank in the 1962 Alaska Re
publican platfonn called for pre
registration of voters. The plank
reads “elimination of illegal vot
ing by requiring adequate advance
registration of voters in state elec
tions with special emphasis on ease
of registration for residents of rural
areas, and strict enforcement of '
the penalty for violation of the
registration oath.”
Under present Alaska voting I
regulations voters are not required J
to register previous to an elec- 1
tion for a state election. A regis
tration is made at the time of vot- !
ing, however, when voters are re- ]
quired to sign the register book, 1
giving both their residence and
mailing address. i
The Alaska Election Code savs
any defeated candidate or any 10 ^
qualified voters who believe there
has been a mistake made by an p
election official or by the canvass- f
ing board may file an appliration f
within five days after completion v
of the state canvass for a recount
of the votes. The application shall
include a deposit in cash of the
required amount of money.
In the case of the governor’s
race, a deposit of $2,000 must be
made.
No specific cases of violating the
Alaskan voting procedures were
nted by the Republicans in their
itatement. They promised to offer

If the makeup of the House

in' chamber could he stymied for

rndia Wants More e
U.S. Military Aid
WASHINGTON W — India ap
pealed to President Kennedy today
'or more U.S. military aid in the
'ace of what was described as a
/ery bad military situation.
Ambassador B. K. Nehru visited
he White House to give Kennedy
i letter from Prime Minister Neh
u urging quick action.
After talking with Kennedy, the
imbassador told newsmen he had
old the President of the latest
nilitary situation in India’s resis
ance to invasion by Communist
Ihina.
“As you can see in the news-1 ’
apers, it’s bad, very bad,” the I
mbassador said. ' ^
P<‘d Chinese*
Overrun Indians,
Take Key Position
NEW DELHI, Indin !/P) — Chinese
Communist troops, 20,000 strong,
overran Sc Pass and the next In
dian defense position at the east
ern end of the fighting front to
day. The Reds now stand only 25
miles from the populous Indian
plains of Assam.
The Red Chinese outflanked the
defenders at 13.750-foot So P;. .
and forced the Indian withdrawal
to P.omdila, 00 miles to the south
east on the next ridge of an In
dian-built road running to Tez
pur on the Assam plains. The next
possible defense position, perhans
the only one. is at a nhnee calk'd
Rattle’s Nest on a range crossed
by a road 9,300 feet up.
Prime Minister Nehru announced
the fall of P.omdila. As he did so,
the British High Commission in
New Delhi made plans to evacu
ate 1.500 British subjects in Assam.
Nehru’s announcement of the
new reverses came after a speech
Sunday night in which he said the
Chinese offensive is threatening
Indian independence. He said other
countries are now beginning to
realize this is not a border dis
pute but. “naked, crude and shame
less aggression.”
A Peking broadcast quoted
Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai as
saying US. arms aid to India will
enlarge the conflict of the Afro
Asian peoples.” About $5 million
worth of badly needed infantry
weapons have been flown to India
ay the United States.

1 is dead at 77.
He was stricken by a heart at
tack Sunday and died in his Co
penhagen home.
Bohr, an absent-minded profes

Gw that we will get nothing in

The commission’s action was
.own here as an effort to create
better relations with Jan,an for
continuation of the tri-nartite
treaty, which expires next June.
Fran said the decision was- not
”n good gamble when it is obvious
that no agreement is in the offing
with Japan for belter protection
of our salmon.
“I just can’t understand the
commissioners taking this action
on halibut.”
The commission will hold an
interim meeting in Tokyo next
February to work out regulations
with Japan for halibut fishing in
the eastern Bering Sea.
Evan called the commission’s
action “appeasement” and saic
such U.S. policy “is one of the
big reasons we are in trouble in
