Dillingham Cannery Will
Not Operate This Year
BELLINGHAM, UR — The Pa
cific American Fisheries Co. said
yesterday it will not operate, its
cannery at Dillingham, Alaska,

Bay fishing is rescinded.
Don Fickle, secretary-treasurer
of P.A.F., said he understood no
other canneries on the bay would
open if the order stands.
“There just isn’t anyplace else
to supply enough fish for process
ing in that area,” Fickle said.
P.A.F. and the New England
Fish Company had a joint operat
agreement in Bristol Bay. P.A.F.
also was one of several packers
which jointly operated a cannery
at Naknek.

President’s Life
Threatened By An
‘Alcoholic - Drifter’
WASHINGTON, UPi — The Sec
ret Service is concerned about a
! man who has threatened several
times to kill President Eisen
hower.
In a statement for the House
Appropriations Committee, the
service describes the would-be
assassin as a dishonorably dis
charged serviceman, an alcoholic,
a drifter, a prison inmate and a
former patient at a mental insti
tution.
The statement, given to the
committee in secret session and
made public Monday, did not name
! the man nor indicate where he
is now.
However, the service later iden
tified the man as Sam Stepp Jr.
Agents said the latest information
they had on him was an arrest
on vagrancy charges in Charlottes
ville, Va., last month. They said
he was sentenced to 30 days in
jail. Stepp has no fixed address.
The service, which guards the
President, told the committee the
threats began in 1956. Since then,
he served one six-month prison
sentence in 1956 for carrying car
tridges in Glenwood Springs,
Colo., and spent less than a month
in a mental institution in 1957
after attempting to telephone a
threat to the President in Balti
more.

Eisen’ower ,'ublic Address Assures
U.S. Risk Minimized by Standing Firm
WASHINGTON, Of) — President
Eisenhower has cautiously opened
the door to a summertime summit
meeting with Soviet Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev — provided for
eign ministers somehow lay the
advance groundwork.
At the same time he gave notice
the United States will fight rather
than yield to the Soviet demand
that Allied troops leaves West
Berlin so it can become a “free
city.”
“We cannot try to purchase
peace by forsaking two million
free people of Berlin,” Eisenhower
said.
The President spoke out Mon
day night in a special television
radio report to the nation on the
mounting Berlin crisis.
He charged the Soviet Union has
“deliberately created” a war
threat to enforce its Berlin de
mands, and indicated appeasement
would be worse than useless.
“War would become 'more like
ly if we gave way and encouraged
a rule of terrorism rather than a
rule of law and order,” he said.
“Indeed this is the peace policy
which we are striving to carry out
throughout the world.”
On the other hand, he said, “the
risk of war is minimized if we
j
stand firm.”
Whatever comes, he said, the
American people “now have and
will continue to have a modern,
effective and adequate military
establishment.”
In general, Congress members
of both parties backed Eisenhow
er’s declaration of firmnes in the
Berlin situation. Republicans
welcomed, and some Democrats
challenged, his assessment of the
nation’s military strength.
Eisenhower confidently cited
the nation’s long-range nuclear
bomber force, plus 41 types of
"missiles either in production or
under vdevelopment, as powerful
enough to resist Communism’s
challenge, despite domestic critics
who are urging him to spend more
for defense.
Dominating Eisenhower’s speech
were 46 words which appeared to
move him a carefully measured
step along the road to a summit
conference Khrushchev has been
urging since last November.
Referring to the Allied reply
being prepared to the most recent
Soviet note, he said:
“It is my hope that thereby all
of us can reach agreement with
the Soviets on an early meeting at
j the level of foreign ministers.

gik, Charles Nershak, John

“Assuming developments that
justify a summer meeting at the
summit, the United States would
be ready to participate in this
further effort,” he added.
Conspicuously absent from Eis
enhower’s address also were his
usual words of warning about the
worldwide disillusionment that
would follow an unsuccessful sum
mit meeting.
