THE MIDNGHT SUN FESTIVAL is over for
another year, and plans are now in order for the
next event — The Fourth of July.
Before closing the books on the Festival, the com
munity leaders and civic-minded hard workers who
made the three-day celebration a success deserve
praise and congratulations from everyone. These
second-generation young Alaskan businessmen, and
other young businessmen whose efforts and new ideas
made the Festival possible, need to be encouraged to
start planning for a bigger and better Festival for
next year.
A three-day program is a big responsibility, but
it was proven that several organizations working to
gether can put it across. Next year’s Festival —
due to the success of the 1960 celebration — should
bring in twice as many visitors from all over the
State, and from the lower 48.
Eskimos should make a summer project of learning
the old sports and skills which are dying out, and be
able to do something that other people can’t do. We
would like to see a real contest next year in kayak
capsizing, and more young people competing in the
high kick. _

Kennedy Says
Don't Turn U. S.
Over to Nixon
By The Associated Press
Sen. John Kennedy says “I
don’t think we should turn this
country over to Vice President
Nixon in this critical time.”
Kennedy threw away a prepared
speech at Camden, N. J., Wednes
day night to launch his attack on
Nixon, the probable Republican
Presidential candidate.
Kennedy said people on other
continents quote men like Wood
row Wilson. Thomas Jefferson,
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry
S. Truman. But, he said, they
don’t quote Nixon.
“We must elect a President who
will make people get up in the
morning and wonder what he did
instead of what Soviet Premier
! Khrushchev did,” Kennedy said.
■ One of Kennedy's strongest op
ponents for the Democratic nom
ination, Senate Majority Leader
Lyndon Johnson, took the Senate
floor Wednesday to lash at Ad
ministration foreign policy.
“There is a depressing lack of
I vital new ideas in our foreign
policy,” he said.
Johnson called for great inter
national programs to stamp out
disease, to move food surpluses to
hungry areas, to break down
communications barriers between
people, and to harness water re
sources in arid regions.
President Maps Optimistic
Talk on Far East Tour
HONOLULU, tfft — President j
Eisenhower’s television-radio ad- j
dress to the American people re- j
porledly will strike at Communist
contentions the journey was a 1
humiliating flop.
It is understood he will say that !
on the contrary his visits to the !
Philippines, Nationalist China and j
Korea were highly successful and ;
served to improve relations be
tween the United States and those
countries.
The President, continuing to
rest in sunny Hawai after about
16,000 miles of travel, also will
deal with the collapse of the
three-day visit he had been sched- j
uled to make to Japan. That stop
was canceled because of what
Eisenhower has termed Commu
nist-bossed rioting in Tokyo.
Eisenhower probably will fly
back to Washington Saturday or j
Sunday.
He will make his TV-radio re- j
port within a few days after re- ]
turning to the capitol.

Congress Sweetens
Capitol Pension System
WASHINGTON, uP — Congress
has passed a bill to sweeten its
own pension system.
The bill passed the House m one
minute Wednesday and was sent
to President Eisenhower. The
bill, after some amendment, had
been passed by the Senate last
month by a 5-3 vote — not many
senators were around at the time.
The measure would allow for
mer Congressmen to qualify for
pensions by working in other gov
ernment agencies to fill out the
minimum requirement of five
years’ service. It also applies to
some veteran Congressional em
ployes.
Under the pension system mem
bers of Congress contribute 7Vi>
per cent of their $22,500 salary
to the pension fund. Their pen
sion is 2V2 per cent of their top
pay multiplied by the number of
years of Congressional service.
The maximum is $18,000 a year.
Previously a Congressman had
to serve five years to qualify for
a pension. The bill would allow
a member with only one year in
Congress to work four years in
another government agency and
still qualify.

Through Treaty,
Then Resigns
By GENE KRAMER
TOKYO, UP — Prime Minister
Nobusuke Kishi Thursday put
into effect a new 10-year military
alliance between the United
States and Japan — the major
goal of his 3^-year regime —
and announced he would resign.
Kishi, for weeks the target of
fanatical demonstrations by rad
ical students, Socialists, Commu
nists and labor forces, set no
date for his resignation. But a
spokesman said the cabinet would
quit en masse as soon as Kishi’s
Liberal Democratic Party decides
on his successor.
Approval of the Liberal Dem
ocratic choice is a certainty, since
the party has a majority in both
houses of Parliament. But con
siderable trading between rival
factions may be necessary before
agreement.
The new U. S.-Japan security
pact went into force at a hurried
ceremony arranged secretly to
foil plans of Japanese left-wingers
to delay final action on the con
troversial treaty.
U. S. Ambassador Douglas Mac
Arthur II and Foreign Minister
Fujiyama met at Fujiyama’s
heavily guarded residence and
exchanged documents covering
their governments’ ratification of
the treaty.
The exchange immediately
made the pact effective, contin
uing the U. S.-Japanese military
alliance, giving he United States
military bases in Japan at least
for the next 10 years and pledg
ing the United States to defend
Japan against attack.
