Slimmer Recreation Sites
SPRING IS COMING, and in Nome that means that
travel on Highway 97 will soon be possible again.
There are 38 public recreation sites along the
highways in Alaska, in addition to several in Mc
Kinley National Park. The sites are primarily de
signed as camp grounds and picnic areas.
With the mileage increasing on Highway 97, civic
groups should take into consideration the importance
of having camp grounds, and should make application
to have a couple such sites set aside in the scenic
Salmon Lake area. One local organization has already
taken steps to investigate what constitutes a camp site,
and other civic groups should back them up so that
something might be started this summer. These sites '
are maintained and kept in condition by the U. S.
Forest Service.

SUNDAY SCHOOL WEEK
Man’s two greatest adventures are exploring the
world around him and the worth within him. Whether
he probes with a missile or a prayer, he’s on the high
road to adventure, and his preparation must begin early
in life. Sunday Schools of all faiths stress the prin
ciples that start young people in the right direction.
‘ Observance of National Sunday School Week is
April 13 to 19. The slogan is “Make Every Week
A Sunday School Week.”
Let’s start our children in the right direction by
giving them a chance to learn the Word of God in our
Sunday Schools.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell forecasts that by the
end of this year this country will have the highest level

Russians Protest
High Berlin Flights
Endanger Traffic
BONN, Germany, (#) — The So
viet Union has protested against
the high-altitude flight to Berlin
Wednesday by an American Air
Force cargo plane, an informed
Allied source reported.
The source said the Soviet rep
resentative at the four-power air
safety center in Berlin made the
protest verbally. This group con
trols flights between Berlin and
the West.
The Cl30 Turboprop flew into
and out of Berlin at between 20,
000 and 25,000 feet. It was the
third American trip to Berlin in
nearly three weeks at altitudes
above the 10,000-foot level the
Soviets contend is the maximum
for Allied planes. The Western Al
lies maintain that they can fly
at any level in the corridors to
Berlin.
U. S. officials said Wednesday
that two Soviet jet fighters shad
owed the latest American plane
closely but did not buzz it as So
viet MIGs did two previous'
flights. But yesterday, American
sources said later information
from Berlin showed “dangerous
harrassment, or. buzzing as it is
popularly called, did occur.”
As British papers accused the
U. S. Air Force of endangering
the prospects of East-West nego
tiations^ by the flights, a British |
Embassy spokesman in Bonn said
the British had been informed be
forehand of the flight but were
i%ot “consulted.”

Governor Egan Set to Challenge Fish &
Game Restriction In 1958 Statehood Act
JUNEAU, (tf> — Alaska may
challenge' the constitutionality of
provisions of the statehood act.
which retained federal control of
the state’s fish and game resources,
Governor William Egan said Wed
nesday.
Egan said the state was “ex
ploring the likelihood of . . .
challenging the constitutionality
of the Westland amendment that
is a part of the act enabling Alas
ka’s admittance to the union.”
The amendment retained man
agement of the state’s fish and
game resources with the Depart
ment of the Interior until at least
next year.
“Positive action is necessary in
the immediate future in order that
the State of Alaska find itself on
an equal footing with the other
48 states,” Egan said.
Egan’s statement came as a
legal battle continued in Wash
ington to determine whether an
Interior Department ban against
the operation of fish traps in
Alaskan waters would be effec
tive this season. An appelate court
decision Tuesday -granted a stay
on the fish trap ban.
“It is with heavy heart that I
i i—
come to the conclusion we find
ourselves in legal conflict with
the Alaska salmon industry,” Egan
said.
“I had hoped that in the final
analysis the industry would come
around and work closely with
state officials in our attempt to
rebuild Alaska’s great salmon re
sources.” —.
Egan said “every possible ef
fort” would be made to insure that
fish traps will not operate in the
coastal waters of Alaska.
“Alaska ... is a sovereign state
of the American union. We will use
the power of state statutes the
moment it is brought to our at
tention that any site is being pre
pared for. operation of fish traps
in Alaska waters,” he said.
