MOUNTAIN
Notice, Bird Hunters
We are told that the old custom of shooting hawks,
regardless of what species the particular hawk is, is
ill founded among the local residents. While there are
hawks which do great harm to the ptarmigan popula
tion, there are many hawks which do far more good
than harm.
A sportsman informs us that any hawk which
soars, like any of the soaring birds, should not be killed.
Many people are using the “pintail hawk” for target
practice. Actually, this species of bird is not a hawk at
all but a jaeger, and it is protected by law. The jaeger
is of the gull family, has web feet, and is rather rare.
It nests in this area and should be protected. Another
bird found on our hills and slaughtered for target prac
tice is the arctic tern. This bird is also protected and
should not be killed.
We do not claim to be proficient in the field of
ornithology, but we do believe this information should
be passed on, as the birds do more good than harm,
destroy insects and rodents, and help keep nature in
balance.
Moroccan Pasha, 80,
Grabs Carbine to Answer
Demonstrators’ Shot
MARRAKECH, French Moroc
co, Uf)—Demonstrators blocked the
■car of the powerful old pro
French Pasha of Marrakech,
Thami El Glaoui, today and fired
-a shot at him.
Unhurt, the fiery Berber chief
tain—in his 80’s—climbed out and
tried to shoot back with his car
bine but French police prevented
him.
Moroccan police opened fire on
the crowd and injured several
persons. Finally the way was
cleared and the Pasha was driven :
away.
El Glaoui had just left France’s
new resident general in Morocco,
Gilbert Grandval, who was mak
ing his first official visit to this
city of 200,000 at the foot of the
Atlas Mountains.
AFL & CIO Join Names
Prior to Formal Merger
At December Conventions
WASHINGTON, Itf) — The last
major obstacle to merger of the
AFL. and the CIO was crossed
last night when officials of the
two big labor groups agreed on
a name for the combined feder
ation.
Short of using the name AFL—
as that group urged—or CIO, the
officials settled on the simplest,
if somewhat unwieldy, comprom
ise.
Their choice: “The American
Federation of Labor and Congress
of Industrial Organizations”—the
full names of the existing groups.
Presidents George Meany of
the AFL and Walter Reuther of
the CIO said only procedural de
tails now remain to be worked
out before formal merger actions
to be taken at conventions in New
York in December.
President Reports
To Congress on
Geneva Progress
WASHINGTON, i*>— President
Eisenhower reported to Congress
Thursday that Russian leaders at
the summit talks in Geneva are
anxious to achieve concrete re
sults in seeking to lessen East
West tensions.
Carrying out a promise to keep
the lawmakers informed, the
President cabled his own obser
vations on progress at the con
ference to the State Department
,and Vice President Nixon. These
observations, in turn, were re
layed to top Senate and House
leaders.
Eisenhower said he is convinced
the Russians do not want the
Geneva session to end without
some accomplishment that they
and the world will regard as an
improvement.
The President was careful to
avoid forecasting a quick solution
to major problems such as Ger
man unification and rearmament,
but Congress leaders who read
the report said he feels there has
been improvement of the chances
for solving these problems.
As evidence, Eisenhower cited
the obviously friendly attitude of
Russians at Geneva and their re
cent moves toward interchange of
visitors and delegations.
The President said he is doing
everything possible to convince
the Russians leaders the United
States and its allies have no plans
for aggression against Russia or
the Communist world.
UJS. experts are convinced the
Kremlin’s fear of U.S. nuclear
power and air bases is genuine
and that this has controlled their
past negative policies.
Billy Graham
Representative
Coming to Nome
A representative of the Billy
Graham Evangelistic Films is
scheduled to be in Nome for a few
days early in August. He already
has been to many places in Alaska
and is bringing with him two of
the greatest Billy Graham films:
“Mr. Texas” and “Oiltown, U.
S.A.”
The director for Alaska visita
tion is Abraham “Abe” Snavely,
who hails form Lancaster, Pa.
There has been much continued
revival in his area. He notes that
in a real revival the conversation
of most of the citizens in their
daily life is about the things of
God; and also that impromtu
prayer meetings occur in many
places. Passengers in cars and
trains and many other groups feel
the freedom to sing Gospel songs
wherever they are.
Billy Graham looks for such re
vival to occur in the Western
world, even as it is already swing
ing into full force in many parts
of Europe. He plans to be in Los
Angeles for a short while in Sep
tember before opening another
great 4-week crusade in Toronto.

Committee Keeps Pressure on Adams
For His Role in Cancelled Dixon-Yates
WASHINGTON WV—A Senate^
subcommittee kept pressure today
on Presidential Assistant Sherman
Adams for “the full and true
story” of his role in the contro
versial, cancelled Dixon-Yates
power contract.
Persuasion rather than force
apparently will be the sole means
of applying pressure to President
Eisenhower’s No. I White House
aide.
Asked if a subpoena had been
considered, Chairman Kefauver
(D-Tenn) of the Senate Judiciary
subcommittee told reporters:
“Frankly, I don’t think we can
subpoena him. We are going to
try this first.” The “this” was a
strongly worded letter the three
man subcommittee on antimonop
oly matters rushed to Adams by
messenger yesterday asking him
to reconsider his refusal to testify.
Adorns could not be reached for
comment.
The subcommittee said Adam’s
written refusal yesterday was the
fifth instance of a claim of privi
lege by Executive Department of
ficials that they cannot be re
quired to give information to the
subcommittee.
“In these circumstances,” the
subcommittee said, “a claim of
privilege is tantamount to sup
pression of evidence of possible
crime and corruption. Not even
the privilege of attorney-client
---—-n
can be used for such a nefarious
purpose.
“Certainly officials of the gov
ernment itself cannot and should
not assert privilege where the re
sult would be the suppression of
evidence which would show cor
ruption and deception in a matter
involving millions of dollars of
public funds.”
The Dixon-Yates contract, ne
gotiated on Eisenhower’s orders
by the Atomic Energy Commis
sion, called for construction of a
$107 million power plant at West
Memphis, Ark., to furnish elec
tricity to the Tennessee Valley
authority to replace power it sup
plies to A EC. Eisenhower ordered
it cancelled after Memphis, Tenn.,
decided to build its own power
plant, which would reduce de
mands on TVA.
