Disgust7 at Red
Slander — Herter
WASHINGTON, Wt — Secre
tary of State Herter Saturday ac
. cused Soviet Premier Khrushchev
of attempting to degrade interna
tional relations toy “personal vil
lification” of President Eisen
hower.
“All America, I am sure, shares
the disgust I feel at the ill-tem
pered attacks emanating from Mr.
■ Khrusljchev,” Herter added.
Herter’s statement, issued by
the State Department^ was the
U. S. government’s official answer
to Khrushchev’s onslaught against
Eisenhower at a Moscow news
conference Friday.
Officials at the Department said
they presumed the White House
was aware of Herter’s statement.
Herter said:
“'It is understandable that Mr.
Khrushchev, in seeking to divest
himself, of the responsibility —
known to all the world — for the
disruption of the Paris summit
conference, should seek to con
fuse the issue in any way that
he can.
“This, 'however, does not ex
cuse his personal attempts at vil
lification.
“I can only add that I deplore
the degradation of the standards
of international relations which
he is attempting to bring about.
“His remarks reflect credit
neither on himself nor on his gov
ernment.”

Japan-Alaska Rates
Will Remain High
’Til State Develops
By TAK ISHII
TOKYO, UP)—Japanese shipping
lines serving Alaskan ports say
unless development progresses at'
a faster pace in America’s 49th
state, present freight rates are
expected to be maintaine.
The lines — Kawasaki, Mitsu
bishi and Yamashita — erpressed
surprise at reports saying the rates
set by the Tran-Pacific Freight
The American chairman of the
i conference, Donald Gillette, also
said he was surprised. He said
“There has been no protest from
anybody” on the rate.
The present rate for cargoes "to
Alaskan ports was set last May
16 for a “trial period” ending
Sept. 30, Gillette said.
A study will be made by the
lines in August to decide whether
to continue the rate or make ad
justments, he said.
A Yamashita Shipping Com
pany official said “We consider
the rate very low compared to
that of the Seattle-Alaska cost.”
The present rate for cement and
steel products is $18.20 dollars per
ton including stevedore costs.
The Yamashita official said
Japanese lines find one sailing a
month to Alaska, mainly to An
chorage, is “sufficient to carry all
the cargo destined for that area.”
He added the cargo consists most
ly of cement and steel construc
tion materials.
The three lines alternately send
one ship each to Alaskan ports
like Anchorage, Cordova, Juneau,
Ketchikan, Seward Sitka, Valdez
and Wrangell. Anchorage is the
main port of call.
The ships return by way of
Sitka where they pick up pulp
turned out by the joint U. S.
Japan venture, Alaska Pulp Com
pany.
Another Japanese shipping line
official said the rate is “very low”
considering costs to Canadian and
U. S. Pacific Coast ports. He said
the Alakan rates were 30 per cent
higher than rates to other Pacific
ports because of high stevedoring
charges.
Almost no consumer goods are
shipped to Alaska, he said.

Canadian Chief
Slicks By Ike
WASHINGTON, W*— President
Eisenhower and Canadian Prime
Minister John Diefenbaker Sat
urday reaffirmed tfleir determina
tion to continue work for peace
with justice.
They agreed that particular at
tention should be given to ending
nuclear testing under effective in
ternational control and to work- .
ing toward general disarmament.
This was the essence of a joint
communique issued at the White
House on the Eisenhower-Diefen
baker talks Friday.
The communique was issued
shortly after the Canadian Prime
Minister had taken off for a flight
to Winnipeg. He told an airport
group that U. S.-Canadian friend
ship provides a model relationship
for the whole world.
Diefenbaker said earlier that the
century and a half of Canadian
American friendship is “the great
est answer” to Communist charges
that t-he United States is warlike
and aggressive.
On his arrival Friday for a 21
hour visit, Diefenbaker backed
Eisenhower against Soviet Pre
mier Khrushchev’s latest outburst
in which he called the President
weak and ineffectual.
You can’t get something for
nothing
Is a true statement I’ll grant,
But there are things in my garden
That I’m sure I never did plant!
