work Monday as an adviser on
NATO planning.

whether Stevenson will go to
Paris with President Eisenhower

any censorship over Stevenson,,

wants to criticize administration
proposals publicly he is free to
do sq. Dulles expressed confidence
Stevenson would act with due re
gard for the purpose of advancing,
the strength and' unity of the free j
world.

opinion. —Pd. AcLvt.
Governor Awaits
Report on Mental
Patient Facilities
WASHINGTON, UP)—Alaska’s
Gov. Mike Stepovich says he ex
pects a report within a week on
the adequacy of facilities at Sew
ard and Valdez to house mental
patients pending completion of
permanent facilities.
He said the report will be pre*
pared by Public Health Service
representatives familiar with the
two institutions.
If the report is favorable, he
said, he will recommend use of
the two Alaskan sites rather than
continuing the present contrac
tual arrangement with Morning- j
side Hospital at Portland, Ore.
Alaska’s mental patients have
been treated at the Portland hos
pital under contract with the gov
ernment for more than 50 years.

Congress last year to take over
its own mental health program,
but has not yet undertaken con
struction of treatment facilities.
The governor met here Monday
with Dr. James K. Shafer, chief
of the Public Health Service’s di
vision of general health services;-*
Dr. Jack C. Haldeman, deputy
chief of the agency’s hospital and
medical services division, and
other PHS representatives.
Thruout the discussion, Stepo
vich said hf emphasized his prin
cipal concern was the welfare of
the patients
“I had ra her see Alaskan pa-:
tients treated in Alaska, but only j
if we can provide adequate care,”|
he said.
• The gov* ) ior expects to leave j
Washington tomorrow.
Fists Fly During
U.S.-Japanese
Goodwill Film
| KAWAN VILLAGE Japan, UP)—
A goodwill story being filmed toy
20th Century-Fox was interrupt
ed Monday night by angry curses,
fist fights and the near-destruc
tion of a Japanese fishing fleet.
True to his troublesome role in
the movie, big John Wayne took
part in the bedlam and helped to
restore peace.
Wayne has the lead in “The
Townsend Harris Story,” which
tells about the first U.S. diplomat
in Japan. Explaining he wants to
boost U.S.-Japanese friendship the
way Harris did, the actor con
tributed 550,000 yen ($139) Mon
day to a Christmas fund for Jap
anese children.
But the goodwill almost went
* ’--—:
up in flames a few hours later.
The film makers flooded a small
ship with 50 gallons of kerosene
for a scene in which Harris
(Wayne) goes to the aid of Japan
ese villagers. The ship then was
set afire for a dramatic sequence, j
But it drifted to fishing vessels
nearby, scorching three of them'
| and threatening the whole fleet.
Led by Wayne, the film makers
hurried to fend off the flaming
ship, and swimmers pushed it to
mid-channel.
By that time fishermen ' were
shouting in anger. Japanese movie
technicians tried to explain but
were met with punches.
The melee continued until John
Huston ordered his crew to pack
up and get out. He personally as
sured the fishermen they would
be compensated liberally for any
damage.
