Stevenson and Kefauver Meet on
National Radio-TV Program in Miami
Seven ; White Alice*
Sites to be Built In
Alaska This Year
Seven more White Alice instal
lations—adding to the network of
backbone circuits which support
the Alaska Air Defense—are to be
constructed this summer under
supervision of the Alaska District
Corps of Engineers.
The total cost will approximate
$5,000,000.
The sites are Sparrevohn, In
dian Mountain, Unalakleet, Sit
kinak, Middleton Island, Kodiak
and Bethel. And the construction
schedule is ‘.‘tight and difficult as
beneficial occupancy of the prin
cipal building is required in about
four months from the date of
contract award,” Col. Carl Y.
Farrell, Alaska District Engineers,
said.
“Airlift ol considerable equip
ment will be required to meet
the schedule. Some of • the heavy
government furnished material to
be used in the projects is in Ta
coma and can be transported by
barge to the sites or to ports for
transshipment by railroad,” he
said. The Air Force may fly
equipment too "heavy for com
mercial planes.
The work at all sites consists of
construction of an equipment
building, installation of diesel en
gines and generators, erection of
steel towers and antennae, com
munications cables from nearby
Air Force Station and other work.
Each site has its own construc
tion problems.
Bethel is on permanently frozen
ground. Structures are built on
steel “H” piles with steel shapes
for floor foundations furnished by
the government. Bethel is acces
sible by barge.
Sparrevohn, about 150 miles
west of Anchorage, and Indian
Mountain, 200 miles northwest of
Fairbanks, are reached by air
only.
At Unalakleet, a road will have
to be built across 10 miles of
tundra but gravel is available
near the site. A river will have
to be bridged on rock filled cribs.
In addition to the equipment, a
4,500 sq. ft. dormitory will be
constructed and a tower erected
at a nearby Air Force station.
Bids will be opened June 8 at
11 a.m. in the Seattle branch of
the Alaska District Corps of En
gineers, 4735 E. Marginal Way.

MORGAN
AND SON
Adlai Stevenson and Sen. Estes
Kefauver, rivals for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination,
found themselves in broad agree
ment on domestic and foreign pol
icy campaign issues yesterday.
The two , contenders held an
amiable discussion on a national
radio-TV program Monday night
in Miami. A hint of acrimony
crept in only once.
Kefauver gently chided Steven
son for having said earlier that
the Tennessean had been away
from the Senate on a number of
occasions.
Kefauver said he thought Ste
venson also quite likely had been
away from his job as governor of
Illinois during the 1952 campaign
when Stevenson unsuccessfully
sought the presidency.
Stevenson offered an apology.
He said he had mentioned the ab
sences only in answer to a report
er’s question as to why Kefauver
“had so little support” among
fellow senators.
Both candidates emphasized the
necessity of renewed efforts to
gain a lasting peace and th$ need
for American leadership. They
agreed more federal attention
must be given the farm problem.
Both agreed generally that the
segregation issue can be solved in
line with Supreme Court direc
tives as they approached their
only southern primary test a week
from yesterday in Florida.
Both seek that state’s 28 Demo
cratic convention votes in the
next to last big test before the
national convention in August.
They also are opposed in the June
5 fight for California’s 68 Demo
cratic delegate votes.
Both saw the dropping by the
United States of a hydrogen bomb
in the Pacific Sunday as a re
minder of the vital necessity of
gaining universal peace.
Don’t sit and wait for your ship
to come in—give it a tug.

ANITA EKBURG WEDS
BRITISH ACTOR IN
STORMY CEREMONY
FLORENCE, Italy, UPl—Shapely
Anita Ekberg, long among Holly
wood’s most popular bachelor
girls, became the bride of British
film star Anthony Steel in a
stormy ceremony here yesterday.
Several hundred excited Ital
ians and tourists broke through
police guards into the antecham
ber where the ceremony was
shunted by Florence’s Mayor
Giorgio La Pira, a Roman Catho
lic who does not approve of civil
marriages.
The jam-packed crowd made so
much noise that a bearded city
counsellor had to start the cere
mony three times. He threatened
to call off the wedding and finally
said. ‘‘I pronounce you man and
wife,” only after asking each wit
ness to confirm the witness had
heard the rites.
The Swedish-born bride, 24,
wore a white emproidered organ
Jy dress with the left shoulder
oare and low decollete. Steel was
clad in a black suit and wore a
white carnation.

Urges Removal of Trade
Barriers U.S. and Russia
LONDON, —The Soviet Com
munist Party newspaper Pravda
today urged removal of barriers
to U.S.-Soviet trade. It asserted
that U.S. restrictions have failed
to achieve their purpose.
“The United States has not ar
rested the technical development
of the Soviet Union and at the
same time has denied itself the
possibility of using the technical
achievements of the U.S.S.R.,”
Pravda said in an article broad
cast by Moscow radio.

Democrats Acting Like
‘Alley Brawlers’ in Trying
Discredit Eisenhower
Sen. Potter <R-Mieh>, speaking
in Port Huron, Mich., charged
Monday Democrats are “sinking
to the level of alley brawlers in
their frantic attempts to person
ally discredit" President Eisen
hower and Vice President Nixon.
Potter said Democrats “have
sought frantically" to find cam
paign issues but can’t “because of
the peace, prosperity and pro
gress” of the nation under the
Eisenhower Administration.
Potter said Democrats attempts
ed to embarrass the President “by
forcing the natural gas bill down
his thi’oat” and with a “complete
ly unworkable farm bill." Eisen
hower vetoed both bills.
It's Bronson courtesy
And service first
To fill your tanks
And quench your
