Soviet Sub Seen in
English Channel
LONDON, , —British navy
protection ships yesterday trailed
three big Soviet submarines thru
the English Channel.
The Soviet subs, escorted by a
minesweeper, were moving west
ward down the channel for an
undetermined destination, an Ad
miralty spokesman said. They
were sighted Wednesday.
He said while the passage of
Soviet warships thru the channel
was unusual, they have every
right to use the waterway.
Royal naval vessels were ob
serving the Soviet subs more out
of general interest about their
movements than out of suspicion,
the spokesman said.
Burl McMahel, of Champaign,
111., an Alaskan in service until
1912 while subscribing to the
Nugget, recalls that when he
played baseball in Skagway and
Whitehorse the sidewalks were
made from the bottoms of empty
beer bottles.
Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Draper
have arrived to make their home
here. Their son is Lloyd Draper,
of the Territorial Welfare Office.
They will both be teaching
school here next winter.

The Woman Behind The Picn
It may be a man’s world, but in j
the world of car design we i
women exert a tremendous in- *
fluence. Here’s how:
Women are nearly always con
sulted in the selection of the
family car, so automobiles are
fashioned more and more to ap
peal to them. The feminine eye
looks for color, fabrics, comfort
and convenience—and the manu
facturers oblige.'
Chrysler Cor
poration, for
example, has
women artists
and designers.
Market re
search analysts
constantly con
sult the distaff
public about
likes and dis
likes in car styles. One auto
motive company recently set up
a national women’s panel to dis
cuss design innovations. One re
sult was the increased use of
lined for upholstery. It doesn’t
wrinkle easily, is static-free,
feels comfortable in summer and
winter, and lets clothing slide
easily—all requirements desired •
by women.
The feminine trend in car de- j
sign has been apparent for some i
time. Automotive experts agree
that the glove compartment, as
sist straps, floor carpeting, inside
lighting, and non-skid tires are
the result of the ladies’ influence.
One third of all motorists are
women. So the car is designed
to make it easier and more com
fortable for the woman to oper
ate. Two results: powe£ steer
ing, power brakes.
Other suggestions by women:
a door button that won’t break
fingernails, better back-up lights,
wider doors, glove drawers, mir
ror on back of sun visor.

! Soviet Proposal for
Troop W ithdrawals
By FRANCES LEWINE
ASHEVILLE, N. C„ OP—Vice
President Nixon said Wednesday
night Russia’s proposal for Allied
and Soviet troop withdrawals in
Europe would “leave the free
countries of Europe at the mercy
of the Communist world.”
He said Russian boss Nikita S- j
Khrushchev was playing “the old
shell game” when he made the
proposal.
Noting that the United States
has always been ready “to meet
the Soviet Union halfway on any
reasonable basis” in disarmament
talks, the vice president said:
“We owe a duty to our allies
and to ourselves not to be sucked
into the old shell game trade of
one horse for one rabbit, which '
is what Mr. Khrushchev offered I
last Sunday when he suggested j
we should withdraw our forces i
from Europe’s 3,000 miles in re- j
turn for the Soviet moving theirs !
from the satellite countries 300
miles away.
Nixon made what was appar
ently a White House approved re
ply to Khrushchev before the con
vention of the General Federation
of Women’s Clubs.
He drew applause when he ac- i
knowledged “there has been some i
waste and inefficiency” in our j
foreign aid program, but suggest- J
ed “when we consider the tre- ;
mendous stakes involved, the :
remedy for these. difficulties and!
errors is to try to do a more el'fec- j
tive job and not to give up and
let the Soviet Union start taking
over the world.”

Bill Introduced
To Improve
Local Air Service
WASHINGTON, (ff\—A bill de
signed to improve local air ser
vice thru 'government-guaranteed
loans was offered Wednesday by
Sen. Monroney <D-Okla’.
The loans would be for limited
aircraft purchases by local ser
vice and Alaska and Hawaii air
lines to make “urgently needed
replacements,” Monroney said.
By making leans more readily
available for new equipment “that
permits more efficient and eco
nomical operation, it is hoped
savings would enable the airlines
to go off subsidies now costing!
S30 million per year,” he added. |
“These carriers, that reach the j
smaller cities off the main trunk |
routes,” he said, “are equipped !
mainly with DC-3s, the old work- |
horse that went into service in |
1936. For speed, comfort, and
seat-mile economy, replacements
arc urgently needed.”
In order to be certain a speech
is long remembered, it does nor
have to be everlasting.
