OKAY, BUT DON’T MISS THE BUS
15tli Anniversary of United Nations
npODAY IS UNITED NATIONS DAY. The U. N.
-I Charter has been in effect since 1945 and pledges
to maintain international peace and security, to co
operate in establishing political, economic and social
conditions favorable to these objectives.
It is the sounding board for all nations and has
done much to hold its members together when those
who do not like its. policies would tear it apart.
Mr. K talks peace but ridicules the biggest force
ever assembled which can keep the peace. It could be
that on his recent trip to the U.S.A. he saw for himself
that Russia has a long way to go and a lot to accom
plish before it can catch up with capitalistic America.
Perhaps he realizes that it can never catch up until
its people are free people like Americans, and in his
ranting and raving he actually is showing his jealousy
and despair. Perhaps Mr. K believes because the Am
erican press gives him lots of publicity that the
American people believe what he shouts. Perhaps he
does not know that Americans also remember
Poland, East Germany, Hungary and other countries
and know how they fared under Communist rule.
Alaskans are keenly aware of the importance of
the U.N. as the 49th State is the stepping stone which
will protect the free world from aggression, should
it ever be necessary. Alaskans, now fully franchised,
hold the U.N. in high respect, remember its accom
plishments in the past 15 years.
WHAT IS A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE?
Why, it’s the jeweler on the corner,
The druggist down the street;
The lady with the gift shop,
The 'banker that you meet;
The man who runs the plant in town,
The service station man;
The shoe-man, baker, barber,
The guy who fixes fans;
The doctor on his daily calls,
The auto dealer, too;
The florist, fanner, lawyer . . .
In other words, it’s YOU!

WASHINGTON, (Jl—Alaska is
advancing in its program to pre
pare disabled persons for success
ful employment under the state
federal vocational rehabilitation
program.
Although the state’s record in
numbers of those rehabilitated is
small, its increase in successful
work is well above the national
average, according to a report
from the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare.
During the 1960 fiscal year
there were 54 persons rehabili
tated in Alaska compared with 45
in the previous year.
That gave Alaska an increase of
20 per cent, compared with a na
tional gain of 9 per cent.
Alaska had 28 rehabilitatants
per 100,000 population compared
with the national average of 49.
Federal grants to Alaska to fur
ther the program totaled $113,510
during fiscal 1960 to which the
state added $71,360. In the cur
rent year, $167,850 in federal
money is available for Alaska
which must supply $109,033 to re
ceive that sum.

Mary Lee Council, administra
tive assistant to Sen. E. L. Barlett,
came here in November, 1940 to
work for two years. She's still at
it 20 years later.
Mary Lee, who calls Cordova
her home town, first came here
as secretary to the late Alaska
delegate Anthony J. Dimond.
When he became a federal judge
four years later, she went to work
for Bartlett when he served as
delegate.
Daughter of the late Dr. W. W.
Council, of Cordova and Juneau,
Mary Lee credits the start of her
Washington career to an acciden
tal gunshot wound and a chance
conversation.
About 1910, she said, Dimond
shot himself in the leg while
hunting and was found in bad
shape three days later by Indians
who took him to Cordova where
he was treated by Dr. Council.
Dimond thereafter credited
Mary Lee’s father with saving his
life.
In 1940, the two men were
talking and Dimond casually men
tioned he needed a secretary. Dr.
Council suggested his daughter.
Rep. Ralph J. Rivers has a new
employe in his office. She plans
to become a resident of Alaska in
a couple of years.
She’s Mrs. Richard (Carolyn)
McVeigh whose husband attends
the Georgetown University Law
School.
Richard, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur McVeigh, of Fairbanks, is
a native of that city and the
couple plan to move to Alaska
when he completes his studies.
The two, who have a 10-months
old son, met and were married in
Bermuda where Carolyn’s father
was on duty with the Air Force.

Commerce Secty. Mueller
Refuses to Call Business
Slump a Recession
| HOT SPRINGS, Va„ UP)—Secre
I tary of Commerce Frederick H.
Mueller, meeting Saturday with
100 of the biggest names in indus
try, refused to label the fall busi
ness hesitation a recession. He
predicted better business ahead.
Despite the drop of most busi
ness indexes in September, Muel
ler said national output will more
than regain its lost ground before
the end of the year. It then will
hold at a record high plateau un
til mid-1961, he forecast, and
thereafter climb sharply.
Mueller said most of the major
corporation heads who made up
the Commerce Department’s Busi
ness Advisory Council, meeting
behind closed doors with him
here, are “exceedingly optimis
tic.”
But reporters found some who
said privately they considered the
country to be going through a
mild, brief recession. The coun
cil’s head, board chairman Ralph
J. Cordiner of General Electric
Co., agreed generally with Muel
ler.
“'I don’t think of it as a reces
sion,” Cordiner said. He described
the letdown as “an adjustment
from inflation”—a fall marked by
weakened consumer demand
which, he said, is characteristic of
the end of a rapid inflationary
advance.
Norway Tells Russia

OSLO, Norway, UP)—-Norwegian
Foreign Minister Halvard Lange
today told the Russians to keep
their hands off Norway and sug
gesed that further Soviet threats
may make Norway reconsider her
present policy.
Afer giving Parliament a report
on the U.N. General Assembly
session jn New York, Lange ac
cused the Soviet Union of waging
an offensive of threats and pro
paganda causing unrest in the
country.

Cuba Charges U.S.
Planes Preparing For
Invasion of Island
HAVANA, —The Cuban gov
[ eminent said Saturday it has re
I ceived a U.S. note charging Cuba
painted American flags and in
signia on five Cuban planes for
I some unspecified reason. A for
eign office note rejected the pro
test as “malicious and false.”
A bitterly worded note to U.S.
Ambassador Philip Bonsai accused
the United States of espionage
and of planting the report to hide
alleged U.S. plans for an invasion
of Cuba from Guatemala.
The Cuban note was signed by
acting Foreign Minister Carles
Olivares, who mentioned a U. S.
note calling attention to the mat
ter. No such American note has
been disclosed by the U.S. em
bassy here, although reports have
circulated here in the last few
days that five Cuban air force
transports at San Antonio de Los
Banos, an air base near Havana,
had been painted with American
flags and identification.
The Cuban note charged Bonsai
sent his note “mixed in with other
documents” in the hope it would
be overlooked and go unanswered.
Olivares said planes in Guate
mala and Florida now are being
readied for an attack on Cuba and
are masquerading as Cuban
planes. Actually, he charged, they
are “Yankee” planes.
The Cuban News Agency has
reported repeatedly that Ameri
can planes have been concen
trated in Guatemala for an in
vasion of Cuba by anti - Castro
forces.
