Alaska Newspaper Suggests Test of
Soviet Russia’s Peaceful Intentions
FAIRBANKS, (£) — America’s i
northernmost daily newspaper,
reporting a string of 11 to 13 bases
on the Siberian coast opposite
Alaska, suggested recently that,
if Russia wishes to show peaceful
intentions, demilitarizing of its
frontier with Alaska would be an
excellent starting point.
“The American people should j
be informed that Russia has con
structed a powerful ring of be
tween 11 and 13 bases along the
coast of Siberia, which lie only
55 miles across the Bering Sea
from Alaska,” the Fairbanks
Daily News-Miner said in an edi
torial.
“Large scale air maneuvers at
these bases are frequently visible
from American territory, and ra
dar stations in Alaska also follow
these maneuvers. Some of the
Siberian coastal bases support
major air traffic throughout the
winter, indicating they have tre
mendous storage facilities to carry
them through the ice season.
“In contrast to this, the United
Stcftes has withdrawn virtually
all of its air power from the
shore of the Bering Sea and has
established a defense line far back
from this frontier. #
“It is significant that Russia
was able to send up jets to inter
cept and shoot down a Navy pa
trol plane which approached the
International Dateline, while Am
erica had no jets in a position to
render the plane any immediate
aid.”

Battle for Control of B.C.
Rivers Expected Between
Power and Fish Interests
VANCOUVER, B.C., MV—Battle
for control of British Columbia’s
river system is shaping up be
tween power and fish authorities.
“There’s going to be a fight
about his and it might as well
start now,” said Sen. Tom Reid,
the chairman of the International
Pacific Salmon Fisheries Com
mission, in an interview here
Monday. The senator said this
province’s $50-million-a-year fish
ing industry is in danger of being
“wiped out” if the hydroelectric
authorities have their way.
It was reported last week that
an engineering firm has been
commissioned to survey four pos
sible sites for power dams on the
Fraser and six on the Thompson
River. Main cause of the conflict
it that dams block migrating fish.
Sen. Reid said an engineering
report that the problem of en
abling fish to pass dams had been
solved is a “terrible misstate
ment.”
•a month ago. The Navy plane
crash-landed on remote St. Law
rence Island in the Bering Sea,
with seven of its 11 crewmen suf
fering burns or other injuries.
“An Eskimo canoe or an un
armed plane are in imminent
danger of attack the moment they
approach the dividing line in the
Bering Sea,” the newspaper con
tinued.
“If Russia has any real friend
ship in its heart for America, let
the Communists exhibit a little of
it among their common frontier
with Alaska.

Russia May Get
Jump on U.S. in
Creating Satellite
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, W1—
A top Russian scientist said yes
terday Soviet Russia will create
an artificial earth satellite within
two years, and quite possibly will
launch it in 1957.
The scientist, Prof. Leonid I.
Sedov, thus implied the U.S.S.R.
might get the jump on the United
States in this branch of space ex
perimentation. He told a news
conference, further, the Soviet de
vice probably will be of a “much
greater size” than the one the
United States expects to send up
in 1958.
The United States project was
announced by President Eisen
hower last Friday. Scientists said
the American device probably
will be the size of a basketball.
Satellite and satelloid were the
major words in conversation at
the Sixth International Astro
nautical Congress here Monday.
Sedov heads the Soviet delega
tion.
Sedov said the Russian scien
tists had not heard of President
Eisenhower’s announcement until
they arrived at Copenhagen.
No details of the American
project have appeared in Soviet
newspapers, according to dis
patches from Moscow.
RCMP Official Expects
No U.S.-Canada Frontier
In Time of Emergency
OTTAWA, —A Royal Cana
dian Mounted Police official said
Tuesday there will be no frontier
between Canada and the United
States in time of emergency.
He was commenting on a state
ment in Washington by Rep. Rob
ert Mollohan (D-W. Va) that the
U.S. Border Patrol planned to re
cruit 8,000 volunteer patrolmen,
stock up on military equipment,
and prepare to build road blocks
and blow up bridges on roads
leading into Canada and Mexico
in time of emergency.
The Canadian official said any
thing that would block border
crossing points during an emer
gency is contrary to civil defense
plans for evacuees from bomb
threatened centers to cross bor
der points freely.
' The official, who said Canadian
police know nothing of the plan
outlined by Mollohan, described
it as contrary to everything
known about U.S. Border Patrol
practices.
Mollohan attributed his report
to an anonymous tipster.
Bill Signed for Change of
Second Division Boundary
WASHINGTON, W—President
Eisenhower signed a bill Monday
making minor adjustments in the
boundary separating the Second
and Fourth Judicial Districts of
Alaska.
An aide to Delegate Bartlett of
Alaska said the legislation was
submitted to make mapping of
the area easier.
