Russian Trawler Sighted 1
Off Kodiak Island
SEATTLE UP) — A 150-foot Rus
sian trawler with “an unusual
amount of antenna” was spotted
only a few miles from Kodiak
Island on Thanksgiving Day, the
Coast Guard said in Juneau Fri
day. r
There was nothing the Coast
Guard could do because the Red
vessel was in international waters,
17th District Coast Guard Head
quarters said at Juneau.
The vessel, the “Adler” was
sighted toy a Coast Guard patrol
plane six miles off Marmot Island,
which lies just off Spruce Cape,
a promontory of Kodiak Island.
This is just to the north of the
city of Kodiak and only a few
miles from the Kodiak Naval Sta
tion.
One Kodiak civilian pilot re
portedly spotted the trawler off
Marmot Island, but did not im
mediately identify it as a Rus
sian vessel. Another report said
the trawler, buzzed by several
aircraft, got underway and head
ed for the open sea.
R. D. Kramer of Kodiak, who
sent photographers of the Adler
to the Post-Intelligencer, said it
was estimated -the trawler was
making 20 knots when photo
graphed. The Coast Guard esti
mated her speed at 6 knots when
first sighted.

Adlai Stevenson
Considers Seeking
U.S. Senate Seat
WASHINGTON uPi — Adlai •
Stevenson disclosed Saturday he '
is considering a race for the Illi- ‘
nois Senate seat now held by ,
Everett Dirksen, the Republicans’ ‘
Senate Leader.
Emerging from a White House
meeting with President Kennedy,
■the U5. Ambassador to the Unit- '
ed Nations told newsmen Mayor '
Richard Daley of Chicago had
asked him to make the race.
The former Illinois Governor
and two-time Democratic Presi
dential nominee said he will make
his decision known before the end
of this month.
Stevenson acknowledged he dis
cussed the matter with the Presi
dent and indicated Kennedy had
advised him what he should do.
But Stevenson said he did not
think he should say what the 1
Chief Executive told him.
StevenSon, who is 61, was Gov
ernor of Illinois 1949-53 and un
successfully opposed Republican
Dwight Eisenhower for the Presi
dency in 1952 and 1956. Kennedy
named him U.N. Ambassador early
this year.
Dirksen, 65, has announced his
candidacy for a third term in the
1962 elections.
Stevenson indicated to news
men that his White House call
was not primarily concerned with
the question of the Senate can
didacy, saying this was mentioned
only casually.
As Uli. Ambassador with cabi
net status, Stevenson customarily
reports to the President about
once a week. He said the hour
long talk dealt with several U.N.
matters, notably the newly open
ed debate on admission of Red
China to the international organi-!
zation. He said /he told the Presi
dent he feels Red China will not
be admitted at this time.
SONIC BOOM JOLTS LA
LOS ANGELES Uh — The
metropolitan area was jolted Fri
day by a sonic 'boom so violent
that police felt obliged to broad
cast that the city hadn’t been
bombed.
It was one of the loudest such
disturbances ever felt here, but
nothing was broken except the
sound barrier and a few windows.;
The Air Force was unable to
say which of its planes, if any,
caused the boom.
SHORTAGE OF SALT . . .
BERLIN UF) — There’s a short
age of salt in Blast Germany. The
Communists blame an American
radio station.
Neues Deutschland, the official
Communist daily, accused the
radio station RIAS in the Ameri
can sector of quoting “so-call
ed scientists as saying that one
'should bathe in salt and put it on
one’s head in order to get pro
tection against atomic radiation.
People who listen to RIAS then
go crazy and begin to lay away
supplies of salt. And salt is tem
porarily sold out in our shops.”

Narrow 7 Crossing
Points at Border
BERLIN UP — Working through
the night under floodlights, 2,500
East Berlin workers narrowed the
seven crossing points between
West and East Berlin today and
strengthened the adjacent sections
of the Berlin wall with more con
crete.
The U.S. Command rushed up
a platoon of 30 battle-dressed in
fantrymen as a show of force at
the Friedrichstrasse checkpoint in
the American sector, the crossing
designated by the Communists for
Allied personnel and other for
eigners.
With a bazooka and two ma
chine guns set up behind sand
bags, the American soldiers faced
several hundred men of the East
German People’s Army, also in
battle dress with machine guns.
The formidable new walls were
about seven feet high and five
feet thick. Tank barriers of steel
hedgehogs were cemented into the
ground.
Only small passages for traffic,
about eight feet wide for vehicles
and two to three feet for pedes
trians, were left open.
The East Germans said they
were strengthening the wall to
protect East Berlin from any ill
advised Western action. The In
terior Ministry added that it was
East Germany’s reply to U3.
troop movements on the 100-mile
Autobahn linked West Berlin with
the free world.
Before the work started, two j
US. Army buses took half a
hundred uniformed Air Force re
serve officers from Washington
on a two-hour tour of East Ber
,1m. Among them were Sens. Bar
rjr Goldwater, (R-Ariz.i, and
Howard Cannon, (D-Nev.), both
one-star reserve generals.
A group of off-duty Soviet
soldiers on the street spotted the
buses, broke into smiles and ex
changed waves.
It was George Bernard Shaw
who observed, “The secret of
being miserable is to have lei
sure to bother about whether j
you are happy or not.”
Vast Political Scandal
Being Investigated
By Justice Department
WASHINGTON — Industri
alist Bernard Goldfine, who is in
jail, holds the key to a vast po
litical scandal being investigated
I by the Justice Department, a tele
vision newscaster says.
The newscaster, Wm. Lawrence
of the American Broadcasting
Co., reported Friday night the
scandal might be the biggest since
the Teapot Dome case in the
1920s.
The Justice Department had no
immediate comment.
Lawrence said evidence now tie
fore Justice Department investi
gators implicates both Democrats
and Republicans. But, he said, the
Department has not decided
whether to take the case to a
federal grand jury.
He said the government's ability
to prosecute depends almost en
tirely on testimony and docu
mentary evidence that might be
given in court by Goldfine and his
secretary, Mildred Paperman.
Lawrence added there were un
confirmed reports that Goldfine
was ready to make full disclosure
of his tangled financial affairs.
The 70-year-old Boston textile
man is serving a year and a day
in prison at Danbury, Conn., for
income tax evasion. He also was
put on probation for five years.
