The Need for a BPR Divisional Office
THE NEED FOR a divisional office for state roads
and highways was plainly seen during the dis
cussion on roads held for this area for the coming two
years which was held here Friday evening.
Richard Downing, Commissioner of Public Works
and William Niemi, Regional Engineer for BPR who
conferred here with the Chamber road committee on
the proposed change of route for the Nome-Teller
road were in •accord following the meeting that the
present surveyed route be followed after learning that
it served two purposes. First, a connecting road to
Teller, and second, to open the most highly mineral
ized area in North America.
The time of these men is valuable as the State
road program is complex, vast and in a transition
stage. Northwestern Alaska’s problems are uniquely
different from those of Southeastern Alaska, just as
Anchorage’s roads vary from those of Fairbanks. The
time and money wasted in planning an alternate route
could have utilized had records been available here
at a regional office to show how thorough and pains
taking had been the work of Highway Commissioner
Irving Reed when he laid out the Nome-Teller road.
As the State assumes the full responsibility of its
transportation routes it might be well to use this ex
ample as a good reason for including an office here
in the future planning.

Mr. K. Blows Up At
U.S. Labor Leaders
SAN FRANCISCO, Of) —Nikita j
Khrushchev kept his peculiar |
brand of belligerent diplomacy
going full blast at a tumultuous
dinner session with a group of
American labor leaders Sunday
I night. —
The Soviet Premier, according
to the union chiefs, blew up on at
least a half-dozen occasions and
I wound up conceding: “Our posi
1 tions are irreconcilable.”
Walter Reuther, Auto Workers i
j Union president and spokesman j
for the labor group, said Khrush- !
chev accused him of being a die
tator and “a capitalistic stooge.”
“I certainly think Mr. Khrush
chev feels we gave him a very
: bad time—he made that quite
clear,” Reuther told a jammed,
news conference after the three- i
hour, 20-minute private dinner.
The union men said they blast
ed Communism in no uncertain
terms and told Khrushchev of
American workers’ devotion to
freedom. They said Khrushchev
defended the Communist system
and both sides thereupon agreed
to disagree.
No effort was made to tone
j down questions, Reuther said, al
[ though there had been advance
word State Department officials
wanted to avoid having Khrush
chev further irritated on his Am
I erican tour. Reuther said his
j group had received no request for
a kid glove approach.
Emil Rieve, board chairman of
j the Textile Workers, asked the
Premier if it weren’t possible to
! have Socialism without dictator
ship.
“He sort of lost control of him
self at this point,” Reuther said.
Firing Squads Execute
13 Who Took Part In
Abortive Revolt
BEIRUT, Lebanon, (A1) — Spec
tators cheered Iraq’s Premier
Abdel Karim Kassem Sunday as
firing squads felled 13 Iraqi army
officers and hangmen executed
four civilian as enemies of the
government.
The executions were the larg
est in a single day since the over
throw of the monarchy 14 months
ago and were the first to be an
nounced in advance.
The army men participated in
the abortive revolt at the north
' ern military headquarters in Mo
; sul last March or were charged
i with plotting against Kassem.
Brig. Nadhim Tabakjali, com
| mander of the 2nd Division at
: Mosul, was the highest ranking
! officer to die.
The officers,_ tried before the
j People’s Court and sentenced sev
eral months ago, were accused of
supporting policies of President
Gamel Abdel Nasser of the United
Arab Republic and Kassem’s No.

Khrushchev Submits 4-Year Plan To
The U.N. For a W orld Without Armies
By WILLIAM N. OATIS
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., UPC
Soviet Premier Khrushchev’s 4
year plan for a world without
armies or arms struck most non
Communist diplomats Saturday
as a propaganda maneuver—but
one worthy of study. .
Western delegates at the U.N.
promised to give consideration to
the plan but the prediction was
they will eventually reject it as
a Utopian dream everyone shares
—but only a dream at the present
stage of the East-West struggle.
Disappointment was felt in
many world capitols that basic
ally his widely advertised pro
gram put forward Friday before
the 82-nation General Assembly
offered little new.
Khrushchev was vague about
establishing controls ' for his pro
gram of scrapping armed forces
and weapons of war—and West
ern insistence on controls has been
the nub of the disarmament dead
lock.
Secretary of State Christian A.
Herter said in a formal statement
the scheme “will require very
careful examination though it
seems to repeat proposals for
total disarmament made by the
Soviet Union” in 1932 and 1955.
x “The United States,” Herter
said, “will go as far on the path
of controlled disarmament as any
other country. I stress the word
‘controlled’ because up to now the
previous proposals < have foun
dered on the Soviet government’s
refusal to agree to effective con
trols.”
British Foreign Secretary Sel
wyn Lloyd told newsmen on ar
riving back in London “control is
the essence” of any disarmament
plan.
Lloyd declared the plan he sub
mitted to the U.N. on Thursday
and Khrushchev’s contained sim
ilar elements.
"We need to work on both
plans and see whether anything
can be made of them.”
The British plan aimed at the
abolition of nuclear weapons and
' reduction of conventional weap
ons to low levels in three stages
! and with controls.
Both plans will come before
the 10-nation East-West disarma
ment talks in Geneva early next
year.
Communist delegations — Hun
gary and Poland—hailed the So
viet' leader’s proposals as a big
step forward. ,
Suspicions were widespread
among other diplomats at the U.N.
and in the non-Communist world
capitols.
Khrushchev told the General
Assembly in a 65-minute speech
“the essence of our proposals is
that over a period of four years
all states should effect complete
disarmament and Should no long
er have any means of waging war.
“At the disposal of states there
should remain only strictly lim
ited contingents of police with
| small arms to maintain internal
| order.”
The Soviet Premier gave the
! impression he holds slim hopes
I for the success of his sweeping
program. He said, “If due to cer
tain reasons” the Western pow
ers won’t go along, the Soviet
Union has an alternate program.
