Seattle Already Feels Effects of Alaska!
J
Builders Strike; Expect More Damage
SEATTLE, UPI — The 25-day
Alaska construction strike is be
ginning to cut into the economy
of this gateway to Alaska, a Post
Intelligencer survey showed Wed
nesday.
Effects in Seattle are only pre
liminary, the survey showed. They
will deepen if the Alaska carpen
ters strike continues many more
weeks.
No negotiations now are sched
uled in the dispute.
The 2,000 carpenters involved
voted last Friday to reject the
latest wage proposal by the Asso
ciated General Contractors.
Federal mediator Atbin Peterson
returned to Seattle this week after
more than a month in the 49th
state* While there he held talks
on 11 labor disputes. He suc
ceeded in helping settle many, in
cluding a strike of plumbers at
Anchorage and a threatened strike
against the Ketchikan pulp mill.
Pgterson was forced to fly
south, though, with the stubborn
construction industry dispute still
tying up more and more work.

First to feel the dispute in Se
attle are the contractors who hold
Alaska contracts. More and more,
these contractors hire their men
up north. Seattle labor unions re
port little unemployment from
the Alaska dispute.
In Alaska itself, strike unem
ployment so far is limited by the
fact that other crafts are contin
uing to work on most jobs. Car
penters have posted few pickets.
Contractors are able to keep their
projects going until they come to
places where carpenters’ work is
essential.
Seattle contractor J. B. Warrack
says he has cut down sharply on
supplies he is sending north for
the 9-million-dollars in Alaska
projects held by his firm.
Another Seattle contractor al
ready has flown one planeload of
50 men home from Anchorage
from a Shemya project and is
considering chartering a plane for
a second load.

Nixon Gets Cool
Moscow Welcome
By PRESTON GROVER
MOSCOW, UPi — U. S. Vice
President Richard Nixon flew into
Moscow Thursday with a plea for
friendship. He found the atmos
phere frigid — with Soviet Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev again
blasting the United States for its
attitude toward the Soviet Union.
The two leaders did not meet
face to face; that was to come
later. _ But while Nixon was get
ting an official welcome at the air
port, Khrushchev was talking to
a Sports Palace crbwd welcom
ing him home from a 9-day trip
to Poland. He again took the
United States to task for pro
claiming this week as “Captive
Nations Week,” and said;
“They send their Governors
here (referring to the recent visit
of 9 U. S. state Governors). They
send their Vice President here.
They are opening an exhibit here
— and they do a thing like this.”
Nixon was met by Frol Kozhrv,
First Deputy Premier, who recent
ly toured the United States. The
Nixon trip is in effect an exchange
visit. The Vice President’s official
purpose is to open the U. S. ex
hibit Friday.
In his brief airport remarks
Nixon warned that in another war
“there will be no victors, only
losers.”
“There are grave and serious
problems which divide us — dif
ferences which, if not resolved,
could endanger the peace to which
we are all dedicated,” he said.
Nixon spoke for about 12 min
utes. About 100 diplomats were
grouped around him. A few Amer
ican and Soviet flags fluttered in
the background. There were no
signs or slogans displayed as is
customary when visitors from the i
Soviet bloc come«in.
Kozlov responded briefly and
the interpretation was even more
brief. The interpretr said merely:
“The message is peace.” ~
Nixon entered a Soviet limou
sine flying the U. S. flag, and
headed out the airport gates to
the city and Spaso House, the resi
dence of U. S. Ambassador Llew
ellyn Thompson. That will be his
home in Moscow.
It was anticipated he and Presi
dent Eisenhower’s brother, Dr.
Milton Eisenhower, and other
members of his party, would closet
themselves with Thompson and
his principal aides for a final
briefing on Soviet affairs.
Nixon’s arrival was not an
nounced immediately either by
Moscow Radio or the TV network.
Both were using their facilities to
cover a friendship rally for Po
land then being addressed by
Khrushchev in the Sports Palace.
The proclamation of-this week
as “Captive Nations Week” in the
United States had hit a raw nerve
here. Khrushchev first spoke of
it at Warsaw Tuesday. Wednesday
Pravda loosed a- half-page blast
against the United States.

Minnesota Bows To
49tli as Most
Northerly State
MINNEAPOLIS, UPi — Minne
sota officially bowed out Wednes
day night as the nation’s northern
most state as Governor Orville
Freeman presented a plaque pass
ing on the honor to Governor Wil
liam Egan.
Until Alaska became the 49th
state, Minnesota had claimed its
northwest angle, separated from
the state by Lake of the Woods,
and reachable by land only
through Canada, as this country’s
northern limit.
But Freeman conceded that
Alaska, with its 215,000 popula
tion, had a far .firmer claim than
the angled parcel of land, embrac
ing 28.7 acres and about 25 resi
dents.
Egan received the plaque at a
dinner for Minnesota mayors, part
of the Aquetennial Week celebra
tion. He later presided as grand
marshal over the festival’s torch
light parade.
Earlier, the Alaskan executive
was presented with a Hawaiian
lei by Linda Tom, Honolulu miss
representing the 50th state at the
fete.

' McKay Wills Eyes;
Two Will See
PORTLAND, Ore., UP) — For
mer Secretary of the Interior
Douglas McKay, who died Wed
nesday at Salem, Ore., willed his
eyes to an eye bank here.
n* They provided new sight for two
persons last night.
Shortly after his death in a Sa
lem hospital, a physician removed
the eyes of the former Oregon
Governor.
Then the eyes were rushed to the
Good Samaritan Hospital eye bank
here and examined. Later the cor
neas were transplanted, one to
each of two persons.
Each of the recipients previous
ly had a bad eye, said Frank Wal
j ter, the hospital’s administrator.
“Douglas and I had talked it
over, and we thought it was a
wonderul thing,” McKay’s widow
said. She, too, has willed her eyes
to the hospital.
The identity of the persons who
received the corneas was not dis
closed.
Funeral services for McKay will
be held at 10 a.m. Saturday in
the chambers of the Oregon House
of Representatives at Salem.
The Arctic tern probably enjoys
longer hours of daylight than any
other creature, living under the
midnight sun in both northern
and southern hemispheres. This
bird flies 11,000 miles between its
northern and southern homes, a
trek believed to be the longest
migration route of any bird. It
nests in the far north and spends
the northern winter near the
shores of the Antarctic continent.
