Honoring Mother
FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY, Americans have
traditionally observed the second Sunday in May
as Mother’s Day, in accordance with a custom estab
lished by the late Miss Anna Jarvis.
This year our Governor, William Egan calls upon
all Alaskans to join in offering their prayers and
homage to those women whom we honor by calling
“Mother,” whether living or dead, and observing this
day in fond remembrance of them.
GOVERNOR EGAN POINTS TO FAIRBANKS’ CIVIC
‘FACELIFTING’ AS BEST ALASKA SPRING SPIRIT
JUNEAU — Governor Egan this
week strongly praised individual
and group efforts in various Alas
ka communities planning Spring
Clean-Up campaigns.
“The coming of Spring heralds
the early arrival of large groups
of tourists, who will continue to
visit our communities throughout
the Summer and Fall seasons,” the
Governor said. “It is essential not
only from the reaction of these
visitors, but also from the stand
point of our own spirit and morale
that we present the best possible
front.”
Governor Egan singled out for
particular praise the city of Fair
banks, where residents plan a ma
jor painting project June 11-12 to
re-paint and brighten the appear
ance of Cushman Street as a part
of a designated Operation Face
lift.
The Fairbanks beautification
project will be carried out by
volunteers from a number of civic
organizations in competition with
various municipalities in Washing
ton State where the community
improvement programs are being
undertaken as a preliminary to
the forthcoming Century 21
Exposition.
The Governor met this week
with Mrs. Constance Field, color
consultant and civic decorator,
who has been loaned by the W. P.
Fuller and Co. to work with com
munities in Washington and Colo
rado.
“The prime accomplishment of
town beautification projects in
addition to the greatly improved
physical appearance of the com
munity,” said Mrs. Field, “is the
development of a new and enthu
siastic spirit of cooperation and
pride by the people in their com
munity.”
Mrs. Field will serve as con
sultant to the Fairbanks undertak
ing and also would be available to
work with other Alaska commu
nities desirous of planning similar
facelifting projects.
The Washington Dahlia Grow
ers have shipped 1,000 tubers to
Fairbanks for its project, and Wey
erhauser Lumber Co. has donated
several thousand fir seedlings to
the program for use in street
planting and for school and play
ground landscaping.

State Dept. Says
Japanese Cannot
Fish Bristol Bay
JUNEAU, (A — A proposal by
private firms for a Japanese
freezer ship operation in Alaska’s
Bristol Bay has run into another
roadblock — this one set up by
the State Department.
The plan, which earlier had
drawn opposition from Alaska of
ficials, “would apparently be in
direct contravention” to terms of
the North Pacific Fisheries Trea
ty, a State Department official
said.
That view was expressed in a
letter from Stuart Blow, foreign
affairs officer n the Office of the
Special Assistant for Fisheries and
Wildlife in the State Department.
Blow, in a letter to Gov. Egan,
made it clear the Slate Depart
ment has received no communica
tion from the Japanese govern
ment concerning the plan,
The proposed freezer ship op
eration was outlined last week in
a letter to Gov. Egan from a Cali
fornia reresentative of a firm re
portedly negotiating with a Jap
anese fishing company.
Blow said use of Japanese ves
sels in the Bristol Bay area for
loading, processing, possessing or
transporting salmon “would in
volve a violation by Japan of its
treaty obligations.”
ACS Prepares to Connect
With New Dillingham Line
SEATTLE, UPI — Alaska Com
munication System is ready to in
terconnect its long distance tele
phone network with Trans-Alaska
Telephone Co.’s new exchange at
Dillingham as soon as Trans-Alas
ka gets a state franchise.
Col. George F. Rogers, ACS
commanding officer here, so re
ported yesterday.
He said Trans-Alaska had re
quested an interim connection be
tween its exchange and the ACS
network pending validaion of the
franchise. Col. Rogers said ACS
could find no authority in Alaska
law which would permit it to do
this. He said the proposed con
nection with Trans-Alaska will
not alter the present service ar
rangement between ACS and Dil
lingham Radio Station KWC63,
operated by the Bering Sea Fish
ermen’s Union.

Department were withholding any
definite reaction pending a report
from U. S. Ambassador Llewellyn
Thompson in Moscow of the facts
behind Khrushchev’s spectacular
announcement that Soviet forces
had shot down a United States
aircraft last Sunday.
Khrushchev Ordered "Shot"
The second round in Khrush
chev’s offensive was fired today
by Marshal Andrei A. Grechko.
Speaking before the Supreme So
viet as Khrushchev had, Grechko
said the U. S. aircraft was de
stroyed by a single shot of a “re
markable rocket” and that the
decision to fire was made by
Khrushchev personally.
For the outside world the
Grechko speech carries forward
Khrushchev’s main argument that
Eisenhower is jeopardizing the
success of the summit conference.
He called the plane incident an
example of U. S. aggressive action
against the Soviet Union.
But his case embraced several
other points, including:
1. Eisenhower’s decision to
leave the Paris meeting after
seven days, if it continues beyond
a week, shows a lack of interest
in seeking peace.
2. His assignment of Vice Presi
dent Nixon as a possible substi
tute if the conference lasts over
a week is bad because Khrushchev
claims Nixon is not interested in
ending the cold war.
3. The United States has taken
an intransigent attitude on dis
armament issues instead of dis
playing a desire for agreement
with the Soviet Union.
4. The U. S. attitude on Ger
man and West Berlin problems is
not in line with the need to settle
East-West differences and end the
cold war.
Khrushchev said his govern
ment “will make a severe protest”
to the United States over the al
leged violation of its air space,
but the communication had not
been received last night.
There was no official identifi
cation of the craft.

Chessman’s Attorney
Claims Convict Chose
Death to Shield Daughter
SAN FRANCISCO, OP) — Caryl
Chessman’s attorney claims the
convicted sex bandit chose death
in San Quentin’s gas chamber
rather than jeopardize his 17-year
old daughter’s safety by naming
the real red light bandit.
George T. Davis said Wednes
day Chessman feared “underworld
reprisals” against the girl, his
sole survivor.
Chessman was executed Mon
day. To the last he maintained
his innocence, but steadfastly re
fused to name the man he said he
knew committed the 1948 kidnap
robbery-sex abuse crimes in Los
Angeles lovers’ lanes.
The attorney said Chessman
was married in 1940 and the
couple had a daughter before
being divorced. Chessman subse
quently remarried and divorced
again.
As far as is known, the exist
ence of his first wife and a
daughter never was revealed pub
licly before.
