WOULD
DIVIDE
ALASKA
KETCHIKAN, WP)-i-The Ketchi
kan Daily News commented edi
torially Monday that it would
“aid and encourage” a division of i
Alaska into two states if the capi
tal relocation fight continues.
The Daily News said it con
sidered the primary election vote
on Initiative No. 1, the capital
relocation measure, to mean that
the majority of Alaskans do not
want to move the capital from 1
Juneau.
In 1923, the Daily News said, a
memorial was introduced in the
territorial legislature to divide
Alaska. The memorial failed pas
sage in an 8-8 tie vote and it was
stopped from going any further
by parliamentary maneuvering.
If it is the intention of the
Southcentral District and Anchor
age, the only district to vote in
favor of Initiative No. 1, to press
the capital relocation fight despite
the adverse Aug. 9 primary vote,
another move to divide the state
would be in order, the Daily News
said, adding:
“We would aid and encourage
the move, and we believe that
many of the residents of South
east Alaska would do likewise.”
CHARM. GOOD LOOKS TO
SWAY WOMAN'S VOTE
LONDON, (#> — Eleanor Roose

the youth, charm and good looks

and Vice President Richard M.
Nixon will draw more women to
the polls in the U.S. presidential
election.
“Mr. Kennedy has more charm,”
she said, “but Mr. Nixon has had
more training in using his gift
of appearing friendly and charm
ing, particularly on television.”
Mrs. Roosevelt flew in to Lon
don airport Sunday night on her
way to a meeting in Poland of
the World Federation of the
United Nations.

Secret Papers Say
Stalin Stalled
Peace In 1945
WASHINGTON, (#)—Published
reports of secret state papers say
the late Soviet dictator Joseph
Stalin—with the approval of for
mer President Harry S. Truman—
stalled a Japanese peace feeler
three weeks before the first at
omic bomb destroyed Hiroshima.
After the feeler reportedly was
made through Moscow, the Japa
nese were formally asked to sur
render and formally rejected the
ultimatum before the bomb was
dropped.
The same published reports say
the documents relate that Stalin
once praised Gen. Eisenhower as
an “honest man” for turning over
to the Soviets 135,000 German
troops who had tried to surrender
to the Americans.
These statements appear in
articles being published by the
Minneapolis Tribune and the Des
Moines Register & Tribune under
the bylines of Fletcher Knebel
and Charles Bailey of Wash
ington Bureau of the Cowles
newspapers.
The aricles are described as be
ing based on hitherto undisclosed
official papers on the Postdam
Conference, held July 17-Aug. 2,
1945, the last big wartime con
ference of the major allies.
Truman has not commented on
the articles.
The State Department still has
a secrecy lid on the Potsdam
papers. Press Officer Lincoln
White said the documents pro
bably will be ready for publica
tion early next year.
The department is making an
inquiry to find out who leaked
the documents to the press, and
for what purpose.

Polaris Passes Another
Test Successfully
LOS ANGELES, t/PI —A Polaris
missile was ignited under water
for the first time today after
being launched from a tube on
the ocean floor
The Navy said the test off San
Clemente Island was “highly suc
cessful.” It indicated the fiery ig
nition would not have damaged
the mother ship had it been
launched from a submarine.
A Polaris was launched from
a submerged submarine for the
first time July 20. This missile
ignited after it cleared the sur
face.
HE GOT A HORSE!
BRUNSWICK, Germany, M —
A young East German fanner
hitched a pair of horses to a farm
wagon and casually drove across
the iron curtain border into West
Germany, border officials near
here reported Tuesday.
He crossed at a point barely
200 yards from a border watch
tower.
