Gets Olympic
Peninsula Post
SEATTLE, UP) — The Rev. Wil
liam Wartes, flying missionary
assigned to Barrow, Alaska, for
seven years, will become pastor
of Presbyterian churches at Se
quim and Gardiner, on the Olym
pic Peninsula in' Washington.
Family responsibility, and a
church policy of limiting service
in the mission, were major reas
ons for the missionary’s change
of assignment.
The Rev. and Mrs. Wartes are
parents of six children. He ex
plained schooling for the older
children had become a problem
because of limited facilities at
Barrow.
The Wartes family is staying
here with relatives until they
move to Sequim later this month.
The missionary said the Wartes
children consider Alaska their
home and would like to return.
Clayton, almost 5, has little ad
justing to do here.
“He’s always saying be is go
ing out on the tundra to shoot
caribou,” said Mr. Wartes. “It’s
causing some wonderment in our j
neighborhood.”
Ketchikan Daily News
Sued For Libel
KETCHIKAN, UP) — William L.
Baker, Ketchikan radio and TV
news man, and for 13 years pub
1 ■'her of the Ketchikan Alaska
Chronicle, filed suit yesterdw for
$83,500 against the Ketchikan
Daily News.
Baker, who is also vice chair
man of the Alaska Statehood
Committee, listed six causes of
action, five for libel and one
charging conspiracy in alleged re
straint of trade.
The chief counts claiming libel
have to do with coverage of last
year’s city election in which Baker
was a candidate for mayor of
Ketchikan. He claims the paper
pubished falsehoods about his ca
reer in Ketchikan.
The conspiracy count charges
that Paul S. Charles, publisher
of the Daily News, put pressure
on another Ketchikan print shop
to restrain it from providing type
to Baker’s Sunday Chronicle, over
a period of months, forcing the
Chronicle to suspend publication.
Baker asks triple damages total
ing $28,000 for this part of the
action.

We Need Worry,
Says Missile Chief
LOS ANGELES, UPi — Maj.
Gen. Bernard A. Schriever gives
this as a concensus of informed
opinion: t
Russia has an edge over the
United States in short-range bal
listic missiles, substantially less
of a lead in, intermediate range
weapons and apparently is about
even in intercontinental range
missiles.
The commander of the Air
Force Ballistic Missile Division
told the World Affairs Council
Friday:
“In saying this I do not want
to leave you with the impression
that all our problems are solved
or that we can relax.
“We need to worry. We need
to do some constructive worrying.
It would do us no harm to stay
up nights worrying — construc
tively — because we are up
against an adversary who never
coasts and rarely sleeps.”

Tattletale Rules
EAST LANSING, Mich., (*> —
Love is rocking the boat at Michi
gan’s State University.
The student congress says
there’s too much smooching on
canoe rides on the Red Cedar Ri
ver. The campus newspaper says
the congress should paddle its
own canoe.
“Morality codes are not student
congress’ area,” the Michigan
State News said in an editorial.
It accused the congress of trying
to “play the role of a Victorian
Sunday Schol teacher” by trying
to legislate student morality.
At the heart of the matter was
a resolution passed by the con
gress calling on students witness
ing “undesirable behavior” on ca
noe rides to report the offenders
to school authorities. “Undesirable
behavior” was defined as “ex
cessive petting.”
The State News called the reso
lution a “tattle tale clause.” It
said the congress had made itself
“the laughing stock of the cam
pus by assuming its action is go
ing to change doing what comes
naturally.
