I The 11-man crew of a New Bed
i ford fishing trawler exchanged
' candy and cigarettes with a Rus

[ while newspapers were filled with
President Kennedy’s TV talk
about the Russian efforts to force
the West out of Berlin — said

Alaska Airlines to
Start Jet Service
To Alaska Aug. 20
SEATTLE OP — Alaska Airlines
announced Wednesday the way
has been cleared for the start of
its Seattle - Fairbanks - Anchorage
jet service by issuance of a Fed
eral Aviation Agency air worth
iness type certificate for the Con
vair 880M airliner.
Four other airlines, the Repub
lic of China’s Civil Air Transport,
Viasa of Venezuela, Japan Air
Lines and Swissair, also plan to
put the 880M in service soon.
Word from Convair at San
Diego was that Alaska Airlines
will open daily jet service to
Alaska August 20. Airline offi
cials here, however, said that
presently is a “target date.”
AA’s 88C'M is expected in Seat- :
tie next week to start training
flights to the far north.
Final phase of the nine-month
certification program consisted of
functional and reliability FAA
flights in which an 880M bearing
Alaska Airlines’ colors was flown
on simulated airline schedules in
the western United States. Dur
ing that time, the AA plane visited
Seattle-Tacoma International Air
port.
The 880M is an advanced ver
sion of the Convair 880 which has
been in domestic airline service
more than a year. The 880M has
eight leading edge slots and two
leading Krueger flaps on its
wings to reduce takeoff and land
ing distances.
The 880M also has more fuel
capacity and hence more range
than the 880. The four General
Electric CJ805-3B engines on the
880M have increased thrust o!
11,650 pounds each. The airplam
has an increased maximum take
off weight of 192,700 pounds.
Convair said the 880M’s maxi
mum cruise speed is 615 miles ai
1 hour.
HERE IS THE RUNDOWN
ON DRAFT SITUATION
WASHINGTON UR — Here in

5,000 from original figure. Sep
tember call likely at least 20,000.
Draft pool of men classified 1A,

50 per cent, with no announced

Kennedy Wins Solid
Support from Britain
LONDON uPt — President Ken
nedy’s stand against Communist
advances won solid support Thurs
day among America’s allies.
British newspapers on both right
and left praised his Tuesday night
speech.
The President spoke too late
to make the editorial columns of
much of the European Press
earlier.
“President Kennedy,’’ said the
Laborite Daily Herald, “has made
it clear as words and precaution
ary deeds can make it, that there
will be no surrender to Russian
threats or to Russian force over
Berlin.”
The Conservative Daily Mail
said the situation recalled the
mounting tension before 1939.
“Others have made the danger
ous mistake of assuming that the
West was far too soft to defend
freedom,” said the Mail. “Hitler
made that same mistake.”
The Guardian called Kennedy’s
broadcast finn but unprovocative.
II Messaggero, one of Italy’s
most respected independent
dailies, said Kennedy’s speech
“was precise and without equivo
cation.”
Communist reaction continued
bitter.
Kennedy’s call to step up U. S.
military preparedness was a boon
to American arms manufacturers,
the Soviet news agency Tass said.
The Persian Gulf is the world’s
hottest sea with a water tempera
ture of 96 degrees.

Ribicoff Urges Parents to
Get Tough with Children
Absorbing Crime on TV
WASHINGTON UP — Secretary
of Welfare Abraham Ribicoff
called on parents to get tough
to prevent children from absorb
ing a diet of crime and violence
on television.
“Parents must learn to get
tough with themselves and their
children, as well as with the tele
vision industry,” Ribicoff told a
Senate subcommittee.
He also said “the television in
dustry must fulfill its obligations
to its viewers” by providing bet
ter programs. He urged intensive
research into the impact of TV
programs on the nation’s youth.
The subcommittee is trying to
determine what, if any, relation
ship exists between crime and vio
lence depicted on TV and rising
rates of juvenile delinquency.
Ribicoff said long-term re
search into this problem should
be financed from both public and
private funds.
BERLIN CRISIS HAS LITTLE
EFFECT ON U.S. INDUSTRY
NEW YORK UP — The Berlin
crisis is having little effect on
management planning for the fu
ture of American industry, the
Wall Street Journal said Thurs
day.
It said a survey of 70 major
U. S. companies showed most
company leaders don’t believe
there will be a war and see no
use in planning for an emergency.
