Inherited Million
Won’t Change Life,
Says Minister
REDMOND, Wash., — A
young Methodist minister said
Wednesday he and his wife will
continue to live modestly after
she receives an expected million
dollar inheritance.
Papers filed in Probate Court
Tuesday showed that Mrs. Susan
Meisner, 20, is sole heir to the
$1,098,000 estate of her father,
the late Clarence G. Hausch of
Akron, Ohio.
The iRev. Peter L. Meisner, also
29, minister of the Redmond
Methodist Church, said he and
his wife had no idea her father
was so well off. He was an ac- I
countant.
“We have always live on our
salary and intend to continue
doing so,” the young minister
added. As for the money, “we
hope to use it responsibly.”
Radioactivity Increases
Sharply Over Japan
TOKYO, UPi — Japanese scien
tists say atmospheric radioactivity
increased sharply over Japan

result of the French nuclear ex

The Central Meteorological Ob
servatory said radiation of 2,900
counts per minute was recorded
from rain which fell on Tokyo. In
the past few months the radio
activity count has been about 100
a minute or less.

Anchorage Councilman
Testifies City Wants
Fairview Annexation
JUNEAU, UP) — Anchorage City
Councilman Brad Phillips told the
joint State Affairs Committee of
the Alaska Legislature Wednesday
that the council wants to annex
the Fairview Public Utility Dis
trict.
Phillips’ testimony marked the
second day of a hearing on pro
posals of the Local Boundary
Commission, the state agency
which recommends local boun
dary changes subject to legisla
tive approval.
Phillips told the legislators his
testimony on the proposed Fair
view annexation was the official
view of the Anchorage Council.
Annexation of the Fairview
area, which is completely sur
rounded by the Anchorage city
limits, would be “a net loss to the
city of Anchorage at first,” Phil
lips said. But he said the council
felt annexation would benefit
both the city and the annexed
area in the long run.
The Boundary Commission has
recommended two annexations at
Anchorage, including the one in
volving the Fairview district, and
one at Kodiak.

Khrushchev Warns
Indonesian Chief
‘Don’t Pressure Me’
By JOHN RODERICK
JAKARTA, Indonesia, (JPI —
Soviet Premier Khrushchev got a
rousing, red-carpet welcome yes
terday from this neutralist na
tion, the best so far on his Asian
tour.
He responded by warning Pres
ident Sukarno not to pressure the
Soviet Union too hard.
The Soviet Premier’s cryptic
remark was delivered in a half
joking, half-serious vein at a state
banquet honoring his arrival.
“There are differences of
opinion between us and President
Sukarno,” Khrushchev said as the
Indonesian President sat nearby.
“If you press me, these differ
ences will grow wider.”
Khruschev did not elaborate.
The most serious dispute between
Indonesia’s nationalist - minded
president and the Communists is
the government’s campaign
against Chinese traders in rural
areas. The Chinese Communists
have come to the defense of these
merchants, mostly small capital
ists with an admitted strangle
hold on much of the nation’s
trade.
“Our friendship for you is sin
cere,” Khrushchev said in a brief
speech after the banquet. “Indo
nesia is rich. But all that you have
we have too, except for those
wonderful fruits which we cannot
have because of climactic condi
tions. Therefore we can cooperate
to our mutual advantage and be
useful to each other.”

Rescue — The Hard Way
FORT SMITH, Northwest Ter
ritories, UP)—Followed by howling
wolves, bush pilot Pat Korpatniki
trekked eight days through hip
deep snow and subzero temper
atures to safety after a forced
landing in the wilderness.
Korpatniki’s ankle was sprain
ed, his sleeping bag destroyed by
fire, and no search parties were
looking for him. He slept stand
ing up, living on a five-day sup
ply of rations and two rabbits and
a ptarmigan he shot.
The 32-year-old pilot said he
landed 24 miles from here Feb. 9
after the gas tanks came off his
light, ski-equipped plane in the
air and the fuel spilled out.
He limped into Fort Smith yes
terday, the day his absence was
first noticed.
The veteran flyer spent the
first night at the downed air
craft and began walking through
24 degrees below zero weather
the next day. That night he
sprained his ankle and his sleep
ing bag caught fire.
From then on, he said, “I knew
I mustn’t sleep though sometimes
I dozed leaning against a tree.”
