Pressure Mounts in
Britain for Top-Level
Probe of Security System
LONDON UP — Pressure mount
ed in Britain Thursday for a top
level probe into the nation’s
security system following the
conviction of another agent who
spied for the Soviet Union while
working for the government.
Fear grew that the United
States might reconsider sharing
its own secrets with Britain lest
they fall into Communist hands.
A nationwide uproar followed
the revelation of more than nine
years of treachery by George
Blake, a foreign office official
sentenced to 42 years in prison
for funneling vital secrets to the
Soviets.
The disclosure of Blake’s defec
tion, coming soon after the con
viction in March of five other
spies who passed Naval secrets
to the Soviets, sparked new de
mands from shocked members of
Parliament for a nonpartisan com
mission to inquire fully into the
security services.

1 am not looking for any sympathy
from the public or anybody. When a
man has been told that his holy matri
mony has been broken it’s hard to ask
! for forgiveness.
I have broken my marriage and
forced my wife to keep away from me.
I hope and I am glad that she is happy
where she is, not with me — her hus
band.
I wish to thank her and the public
for all the help they have given me, and
have given me a full understanding.
Good luck to you honey, and thanks for
having a good forgiving heart. May the
Almightly keep you and guide you.

European Radio
Carries News of
IJ.S. Spare Flight
LONDON — Millions of Eu
ropeans crowded around their
radios today to hear about Alan
B. Shepard Jr. and his rocketing
journey to the threshold of space
■ and back.
The U. S achievement made
headlines and aroused admiration
throughout Western Europe —
even though the edge was taken
off the flight by Russian Yuri A
Gagarin’s global orbit three weeks
ago.
Radio stations broke into their
scheduled programs with a direct
relay from the United States that
captured the tension and excite
| ment of the final countdown and
blastoff at Cape Canaveral, Fla.
In Japan, radio and TV pro
grams were interrupted to an
nounce the feat, from launching
to landing.
America’s frank and open hand
ling of its first manned space
flight was contrasted favorably
with the secrecy surrounding
Gagarin’s trip.
“It was a great privilege to be
allowed to participate in Shep
ard’s flight” said Kenneth J.
Carter, Secretary of the British
Interplanetary Society. “I was
pretty well up there in the cap
I sule with him.”
“The Americans had the right
way of doing it,” he said. “Unlike
the Russians, they allowed us all
to take part in this fantastic ad
venture.”
West Germany came through
i with the first governmental greet
! ing.
A spokesman in Bonn said the
Konrad Adenauer Administration
“congratulates the Americans on
this technical and scientific ac
complishment.”

Kennedy Signs
Minimum Wage Law
WASHINGTON UPi — President
Kennedy signed today with “great
satisfaction” the bill putting an
other 3,624,000 workers under the
minimum wage law, and increas
ing the minimum for those al
ready covered.
The minimum for workers now
covered by the wage law will rise
to $1.25 an hour by 1963. Those
put under the bill for the first
time will receive a minimum of
$1 an hour for the first three
years and $1.25 in five years.
Kennedy signed the bill before
a large group of congressional
leaders and officials of the AFL
CIO headed by President George
Meany.
Describing $1.25 as “a very
minimum wage,” he said “this
does not finish the job but it is
a most important step forward.”
The new law takes effect in
120 days.
Jack Muller, son of Mrs. May
Muller, returned to Nome Wed
nesday after about a year spent
in the “lower 48.”

Maritime Board Approves
Freight Kate Hike from
West Coast to Hawaii
WASHINGTON UPl — A Federal
Maritime Board examiner Thurs
day approved a 12.5 per cent
freight rate increase that has been
in effect since 1959 between the
West Coast ports and Hawaii.
Examiner C. W. Robinson ruled
that the rates, filed by Matson
Navigation Co. and which are suo
ject to refund, are not unreason
able.
The rates also are effective for
shipping services by other com
panies to the Atlantic and Gulf
j Coasts from the Hawaiian Islands.
The Maritime Board decided
j earlier this week to move to
j ward a decision in the 12.5 per
cent case and- conduct a separate
hearing on an additional 10 per
! cent increase filed by Matson
March 15. The 10 per cent rate
; has been suspended by the board
j until Aug. 15, pending a hearing.
