Typhoon Nancy
Threatens Japan
TOKYO UR — Twenty-foot
waves and violent rains hit south
ern Japan today, heralding the ap
proach of Typhoon Nancy. Two
merchant vessels were in distress
and one was missing with 28
aboard.
After causing widespread crop
damage last night on the U. S.
fortess island of Okinawa, the
storm swept up from the Ryukyu
Islands and headed for Kyushu, j
Weathermen predicted it would j
then swerve northeast across Shi- j
koku Island and on through pop- !
ulous western Honshu. It is ex- |
pected near the industrial city
of Osaka Saturday afternoon and
Tokyo in the evening.
Nancy’s winds had abated from
Tuesday’s high of 230 miles an
hour to 144 miles an hour, but
this was small comfort to mil
lions of Japanese in their flimsy,
boarded-UD homes. Thousands car
ried their belongings to public
buildings and took shelter.
The 7,139-ton Greek freighter
Tinos radioed she had been dis
abled by the storm and was drift
ing out of control.
The Japanese freighter Tama
gawa Maru, with a crew of 43,
reported she was out of control
off Kyushu.
Rockefeller Won’t Say . . .
ALBANY, N. Y. (JR — Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller will not say
whether he would serve a full
term if re-elected next year, giv
ing further indication that he will
bid for the 1964 Republican
Presidential nomination; 1
The governor laughed when
asked if he would serve a full
four-year term.
“More politicians have gotten
themselves in trouble over that
question and I don’t want to be
one of them,” he replied.
After his big election victory
in 1958, Rockefeller never an
swered the question directly. He
used to say it was his “intention”
to serve a full term. But he at
tempted to become the GOP Pres
idential nominee last year and
failed.

Geologists Check Taku
Glacier in Plans to
Construct a Highway
JUNEAU UPl — The state is
checking to see if mighty Taku
Glacier will cooperate in plans to
cohstruct a highway linking Ju
neau with the British Columbia
road system via the Taku Inlet
route.
Three employes of the State
Division of Highways were on the
glacier, placing markers in an ef
fort to determine at what speed
and in which direction the glacier
is moving.
They are geologists Bob Bursiel
and Jack Miller of Anchorage
and Frank Hoffman.
H. M. Pentecost, planning direc
tor for the Highways Division,
said any appreciable forward
movement by the glacier would
probably preclude the construc
I tion of a highway up Taku Inlet,
! in front of the glacier.
! If the ice is receding, standing
still or advancing at only a slow
pace, Pentecost said, it would
mean that the glacier alone would
not prevent a Taku highway.
If the glacier’s movement does
make a highway across the sili
at its face impossible, any road
up the inlet would have to cross
two miles of water to the west
bank, continue north of the gla
cier and then possibly would have
to recross the inlet if slide con
ditions on the east bank prove as
dangerous as they look from the
air, Pentecost said.
Alaska in Need
Of Bilingual
Bus Drivers
FAIRBANKS (/P) — The world’s
largest sightseeing operator, on
a busman’s holiday in Alaska
with his wife, sees the necessity
for bilingual bus drivers here.
The reason, said Charles H.
Tanner of Los Angeles, president I
of Tanner Gray Line, is that jet
travel is making the world grow
smaller. Foreign visitors are
coming in greater numbers, es
pecially from Japan and Spanish
speaking countries.
Tanner said the Gray Line com
panies are starting a • program
of hiring linguists as sightseeing
drivers and publishing tourist
literature in Spanish, French,
German, Italian and Japanese, as
well as English.
With Alaska becoming an in
ternational air crossroads, the im
pact of the foreign visitors is
being specially felt here, Tanner
said. “I want to emphasize the
attitude we should have is that
we look upon these people as
welcome guests,” he said.
He stressed the importance of
the federal government’s Travel
Promotion Agency to encourage
visitors from other nations to see
the United States and added, “im
migration rules can be softened
a bit.”
As president of the Associated
Gray Line sightseeing companies,
Tanner said the organization will
consider whether to expand out
side the North American Con
tinent. This will be done at a
forthcoming San Francisco con
vention.
Tanner and his wife, who travel
35,000 miles a year, arrived in
Alaska from a convention, at
Harrison Hot Springs, B. C. They
said they were thrilled with Alas
ka’s scenery. Tanner said the
Gray Line companies will push
travel to Alaska.

Republic Steel Corp.
Cold-Shoulders JFK’s
Plea to Hold Prices Down
CLEVELAND UP) — Thomas F.
Patton, president of Republic
Steel Corp., yesterday cold
shouldered President Kennedy’s
request to hold down steel prices
despite a wage boost next month.
But he did not specifically state
Republic would increase prices.
“Your advisors seek to justify
the freezing of current steel
prices, regardless of the inequi
ties to our company,” Patton said
in a letter to the President. “We
are asked, in effect, to substitute
their personal judgment for the
known efficiency and fairness of
the competitive market place. This
we cannot do.”
Patton said Republic has “ex
amined in detail the statistical
data furnished by your advisors,
and we respectfully but vigorous
ly disagree with the ways in
which their data have been com
I piled and interpreted.”

Daily Aircraft
Maintenance Is a
Serious Problem
WESTBURY, N. Y. UR — Daily
aircraft maintenance is one of the
most serious problems of avia
tion, the administrators of the
Federal Aviation Agency said.
Many aircraft accidents seem
due to failures in maintenance
and operations, Najeeb Halaby
told the annual meeting of the
National Aeronautics Assn.
He said that we should “exalt
the mechanic” and not just the
flyers and the astronauts.
He also urged a long range sys
tem for airport developments in
the United States.
The current system is in grave
danger. Not for lack of money,
but for lack of long range plan
ning and courage, he said.
Economics is ruling the use of
land in many communities and
suitable airport space is being
denied.
He pointed out that this meet
ing of the NAA was being held on
what used to 'be an airport and
is now the Roosevelt Raceway, a
one-mile track for harness racing,
and currently the grounds for the
Long Island Fair.
Los Angeles has recently lost
six airports, he said. And in New
York, although the FAA is push
j ing for another general carrier
j airport, there is considerable op
! position, he said.
He said he suspected there was
J a small group of people who
could make more money out of
the more concentrated use of com
munity land and for economic
reasons opposed use of the land
for airports.
