Weather Instruments
Recommended to Be
Placed on Alaska’s Ferries
JUNEAU > — State officials
and representatives of transporta
tion and fishing interests recom
mended Monday that weather in
struments be placed on state fer
ries in an effort to improve weath
er forecasting in Alaska.
The same proposal was made
for commercial freighters plying
Alaskan shipping lanes.
The recommendations were
among five which were advanced
at a meeting called by Gov. Egan
at the suggestion of Mac A. Emer
son of Anchorage, Regional Di
rector of the Weather Bureau.
Some 20 representatives of fish
ing interests, airlines and com
mercial shipping firms attended
the session.
Several of the those present said
there was a need for more current
information concerning weather
conditions in specific fishing areas
and along commercial shipping
lanes.
, In addition to equipping state
ferries and commercial freighters
with weather instruments, the
conference recommended that:
1. Fishermen’s organizations be
encouraged to develop a program
fr reporting unexpected, hazard
ous weather developments.
2. Fishermen and small boat
operators commence a voluntary,
fixed point weather reporting sysr
tem to provide a feedback to the
Weather Bureau for improved
weather analysis and forecasting.
3. Additional fixed weather
ships be stationed in North Pa
cific waters, particularly in Alas
kan waters where major storms,
develop as the result of a mixing
-of warm tropical air masses and
cold Arctic air masses.

AA Ask CAB to
Investigate PAA Proposals
Fdr Lowering Fare Rates
WASHINGTON UP) — Alaska
Airlines has asked the Civil Aero
nautics Board to investigate a
proposal of Pan American World
! Airways to reduce fares between
Seattle-Tacoma and Fairbanks.
AA said the Sealtle-Fairbanks
route is “not a paying proposition”
for either airline at present fare
levels.
It said Pan American is losing
more than $1 million a year on
its Alaska division while Alaska
Airlines itself has required $1,
393,000 in annual subsidies, much
of it attributable to the the Seat
tle-Fairbanks service.
Between August, 1951, and
June, 1958, the one-way fare be
tween Seattle and Fairbanks was
$90. The CAB then granted at 10
per cent increase. Since last Aug.
30, AA has been providing the
service, at a $99 fare, in Convair
880-M jet planes.
Pan American proposed to re
duce its jet coach fare 10 per cent,
from $99 to $90, and its jet deluxe
fare more than 20 per cent, from
$125 to $99.
Alaska said this would provide
a 10 per cent differential between
the two fares, while the CAB’S
established policy is that the coach
fare should be 75 per cent or less
of the first class or deluxe fare.

JFK’s Speech to U.N. Draws Praise vj
From Allies .. . Communists Hostile
By The Associated Press
President Kennedy’s speech to
the United Nations drew warm
praise yesterday from America’s
friends and allies. First Com
munist reaction was hostile.
Returns were awaited from the
non-aligned nations, who were
cast in a vital role by Kennedy.
He appealed to them to help save
the United Nations by working
for a strong Secretary-General
and to participate in disarmament.
The first significant neutralist
comment came from Prince Noro
dom Sihanouk, Chief of State of
Cambodia. He visited Kennedy
at his New York hotel and told
newsmen that Cambodia adopts
the same position toward disarm
ament as Kennedy in his speech.
'With controls,” he stressed.
Moscow radio and the Soviet
News Agency Tass reported with
out comment that the President
had addressed the General As
sembly and “dwelt on the activity
of the United Nations, the ques
tion of disarmament, the so-call
ed Berlin crisis, and the question
of colonialism.” W
The East German News Agency
ADN reported at length on the
portions dealing with Germany
and Berlin, accusing Kennedy of
deliberately distorting the Soviet
position. The agency said “he
spoke of U.S. willingness to nego
tiate without submitting any con
crete proposals.”
Chinese Communist reaction ap
peared in the Ta Kung Pao of
Hong Kong, a Red newspaper
which follows Peiping’s line. It
accused Kennedy of mouthing
"empty propaganda phrases.”
A British Foreign Office state
ment said the plan “represents a
realistic and practicable basis for
negotiations.” r
British officials also privately
praised Kennedy’s statement that
“we seek no perfect solution.” The
British have long felt that U.S.
policy tended too much toward
absolute solutions that would not
end the cold war.
Non-Communist Asians reacted
warmly and with praise.
Newspapers everywhere outside
of mainland China gave it top
play-_
German Reporter
Convicted of Slandering
Maj. Gen. Edwin Walker
AUGSBURG, Germany Of) —
Reporter Siegfried Naujocks of
the “Overseas Weekly” was con
victed toy a German court Tues
day of slandering Maj. Gen. Ed
win A. Walker.
The court ordered a fine of
1,200 marks—$300—or 30 days in
jail. ->
After three days of testimony
the court ruled that Naujocks,
a German citizen, slandered Walk
er in telling three members of
Walker’s division last December
that the General suffered from
a brain tumor and that he had
seen a medical report proving it.
He never produced such a report
in court.
U.S. Army doctors who ex
amined Walker at the time testi
fied no brain tumor was ever
found.
The trial was based on a com
plaint filed by Walker after word
of the brain tumor stories reach
ed him,
Naujocks was one of the authors
of a report published last April
by "Overseas Weekly” in which
Walker was accused of distribut
ing material from the controver
sial John Birch Society in his
troop information program.
The report prompted an Army
investigation. The General was
relieved of command o4 his di
vision and admonished by 4he
Army Commander in Chief of
Europe, Gen. Bruce C. Clarifc-^...

Masked Gunmen Make Off
With Jewels in Monte Carlo
MONTE CARLO W — Masked
gunmen pulled off the largest
jewel robbery of the summer on
the Riviera Monday. Estimates
of the loot ranged from $500,000
to more than twice that.
Three robbers, dressed in blue
jeans and wearing scarves across
their faces, entered the Clerc
Jewelry Shop opposite the Monte
Carlo Casino in the morning,
when most residents of the neigh
borhood were sleeping. They
forced an elderly saleswoman,
alone in the store, to lie on the
floor and scooped jewels from
display cases.

Gromyko Tells U.N.
Absence of German Treaty
Creates Threat to Peace
UNTED NATIONS, N.Y. (A —
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A.
Gromyko warned Tuesday that
events may overstep the fatal
boundary if Western leaders con
tinue “rattling the sabre and
spouting threats” on the Berlin
crisis.
The Soviet Foreign Minister told
the U.N. General Asgfembly in a
wide-ranging policy speech that
the absence of a German peace
treaty creates a threat to peace
and blamed the NATO powers for
the current increase in interna- ,
tional tensions.
On disarmament Gromyko turn
ed down President Kennedy’s pro
posal for an immediate treaty to
end testing of nuclear weapons.
He said that the only solution
is the one proposed by the So
viet government.
:iThis is to agree on questions
of general and complete disarma
ment,” he said. “Such agreement
would mean the solution of the
question of a nuclear test cessa
tion as well.”
Gromyko said those protesting
Soviet tests are only showing
“sham concern for human lives,"
he added.
“Yes, the Soviet government
is conducting nuclear tests, is
creating new kinds of weapons, is
displaying and will display con
cern for the strengthening of the
defensive capability of the Soviet
state and our allies, which together
with the Soviet Union, pursue a
policy of peace and, like ourselves,
stand for general and complete
disarmament."
