Breaking In A New Car
That new 1957 car docs not need
the lonp break-in new cars pot in
1927. Even so, your new car will last
lonper and run better if you handle
it correctly at the start. Here’s how:
For the fu st 200 miles, keep undei
forty miles per hour.
Between 200 and 5C(> miles, speed
j . o<is only.
Never race the engine when you're
wanning up the car.
Keep an eye on the temperature
a?iQ oil pressure gauges. New en
g : es have tight fittings, they’re

t ..se overheating. They use more
o.; at the beginning, too.
Drain and refill the crankcase at
POO miles. Repeat-and lubricate
1 .roughly -every 1,000 miles there
a. .er.
( ,.ange the oil filter after the first
1,000 miles. Metal particles in a new
t.,y.r,e. can tax 11.
Whether your car is new or old —

League of Alaskan Cities
To Hold 7th Convention
In Anchorage in Fall
PALMER—The ith annual con
vention of the League of Alaskan
Cities will be held in Anchorage
Oct. 31-Nov. 2, it was announced
last week by League president
J. H. Goding, mayor of Ketchikan.
In addition to a full convention
program devoted to municipal in
terests, special activities and en
tertainment will be planned for
wives of visiting delegates.
Seventeen member cities will
j participate in the 1957 convention.
Since the 1956 convention, held
in Ketchikan last November, five
I new cities have joined the Alaska
j League. They are Petersburg,
Skagwav, Douglas and Port Chil
koot from the First Division, and
King Cove from the tip of the
Alaska Peninsula..
Other member cities besides
Anchorage and Ketchikan are
Fairbanks, Juneau, Sitka, Nome,
Kodiak, Seward, Cordova, Sel
dovia. Palmer and Valdez.
Residents of these 17 League
cities represent about 95 percent
of the territory’s municipal popu
lation and about 50 percent of the
civilian population.
! Alaskan Family
Spends $2,000
For Food Yearly
An Alaskan family of four
spends from $2,056 to $2,612 an
nually for food, depending upon
the locality, according to the most
recent quarterly report on Alas
ka’s food prices prepared by econ
omists with the Alaska Extension
Service at Palmer.
While stateside consumers are
spending $421 annually per cap
ita for food, the average person
in Anchorage spends $589 and in
Fairbanks a person would spend
$653. v
The last survey made in March
shows that prices were up slight
ly over a year ago for that month.
Where a “market basket” this
past March would have cost an
Anchorage resident $14.99, the
same foods would have cost $14.46
a year ago.
Anchorage housewives who are
watching their budgets will find
eggs, beef, turkey, halibut, milk
and other dairy products, peanuts
and peanut butter and frozen
strawberries in plentiful supply
this month and, as a result, all
! are good buys during May.
Key Man in
U.S. Defenses Tells
Missile’s Future
SEDALIA, Mo., Iff)—A key man
in the nation’s defense said Fri
day it is now technologically pos
sible to build a missile that will
hit a target 5,000 miles away with
a force equal to all the TNT
dropped on Germany by Allied
bombers in World War II.
The “future of freedom itself”
may hinge on whether we or Rus
sia perfects such a missile first,
Maj. Gen. Bernard A. Sehriever
told an Armed Forces Day gath
ering here.
Sehriever holds what has been
called the most important job in
the country. He is commander of
the Western Development Divi
sion of the Air Research and De
velopment Command. One of its
projects is a missile like the one
described. A model known as the
Atlas is soon to test-fired 500
miles above the earth’s surface.
“I can give you assurance that
we have every expectation of
success” in the race to develop a
super-missile,” Sehriever said.
SEATTLE, Iff) —With a three
race sweep of California behind
them, University of Washington
oarsmen head south this week to
I meet Stanford Saturday for the
West Coast title.
The Huskies gave a convincing
demonstration of smooth power
Saturday in beating the Califor
nia varsity by more than six
lengths, the favored Bear junior
varsity by more than seven and
the freshmen by five.
Washington’s crews can’t row
in the National College Regatta
in the East because of the school’s
football sins.
Stanford also defeated the Cali
fornia varsity this season, but by
a lesser margin than Washington.
Dog Reported Rabid
Found and Destroyed
The Police Department Satur
day searched for a dog reported

to be sick, but it was not deter
mined whether it was rabid.
The dog has been destroyed.
Legislation Being Prepared
To Authorize Sale of A.C.S.
WASHINGTON, MV-1The Ar
my’s deputy chief signal officer,
Maj. Gen. W. Preston Corderman,
expects legislation to authorize
sale of the Alaska Communica
! tion System will be ready for in
troduction to Congress by No
! vember.
| He made the prediction during
I recent testimony, made public
I Saturday, before a House Appro
I priations subcommittee while ap
; pearing in support of appropria
| tion requests.
| Corderman said the Army al
1 ready has submitted a proposal
[ to the Budget Bureau but that
final decision has been held up
pending coordination with other
interested federal agencies.
Altho terms under which the
sale would be made still are in
definite, the committee was told
the ‘overriding term is that we
would only sell the commercial
part . . . probably ... on a nego- i
tiated bid or a straight-bid basis !
with interested commercial com- j
panies.”
The value of the system as of
Jan. 1 was placed at $47,691,044.
30% Rate Increase
Corderman also reported to the
committee on ACS’ plan to in
crease telegraph rates by about
30 percent on July 1.
He said telephone rates also
“are not quite high enough” to re
cover all costs of service, but that
an anticipated increase in volume
of this business is expected to
yield a substantial mcrease in

“Therefore, no increase in tele

Rep. Sikes (D-Fla), committee
chairman, said the committee was
“glad to see that the rates on at

increased,” adding:
“We have felt for a long time
that the government should re
