Fairbanks GOPs Utter “Workable
Compromise Solution* In House Split
compromise solution” to the half
and half split between Republicans
and Democrats in the State House
of Representatives was offered yes
terday by five Fairbanks area Re
publicans recently elected or re
elected to the House.
This workable solution accord
ing to the Republicans would be ,
for both political factions in the
House to set up a mutual agreement
upon organization of the House, 1
aliening certain committee chair- j
manships for the Democrats and
certain others for the Republicans.
The spi akership of the House
would be aligned with one side or.
the other in such a manner to make '
both sides equally powerful and ;
strong.
If agreed upon, this means of di- :
vidin; the House would be so j
‘•close and fine" that there would j
be no political hanky-panky going
on. spokesman for the five Re
publicans, Jim Binkley said.
Tiie Representatives who con
curred in the ■’workable solution”
are Maurice Smith. John Holm,
Dr. E. Baggen and Forbes Baker.
• \Ve have come up with this
suggestion, so we can get the best I
if we don’t agree somehow, im
portant legislation will be blocked
and will not have a prayer of
passing,” Biknley said.
In his statement to the News
Miner yesterday morning Binkley
said that he and the other House
Republicans from this area agreed
that this solution offered would
be the only "fair" division of the
House of Representatives.
He said, "We want the House to
be a source of the best legislation
f(ir the people of Alaska rather
than a battleground of personali
ties and party philosophy."
Reasoning that the people of
Alaska elected 20 Democrats and
20 Republicans to the House and
"expect studied results from those
elected." Binkley said that the
Fairbanks Republican delegation to
the House offered the above plan
as the "most equitable solution to
the 20-20 dilemma in the House.”
"There are two things a real
man likes—danger and play; and
c.e likes woman because she is the
m.st dangerous of playthings."

Patent Granted for Fishing
Reel Without Gears
NEW YORK (.'F — A patent has
been granted for a fishing reel
without gears.
Each turn of the handle revolves
a huge-level-windin'’ spool. The
absence of the gears eliminates the
possibility of backlashes, says in
ventor Don Breithaupt. He adds
that the size of the spool makes
it possible to reel-in your catch
with the speed of a geared reel.
"Instead of trying to add more
pieces to a standard reel, I start
led taking pieces off to see how
few actually were needed to make
it function,” he explained.
"When I got down to a big
spool and a handle it was so simple
I was afraid that I couldn’t get it
patented. But I did. I call it ‘Reel’
simplicity.”
Actually, Breithaupt calls it
Keahoni. That’s the Navajo word
for peace and tranquility. Breit
haupt’s hometown of Shiprock,
N.M., is on the Navajo Indian re
servation.
