Stevenson Calls On
U.S. to Cancel
H-Bomb Tests
WASHINGTON", UP) — Adlai E.
Stevenson Saturday proposed the
United States call off all further
tests of the H-bomb and urge
other nations to follow suit.
Saying he sees little sense in
developing ever more destructive |
weapons, Stevenson suggested a
halt to H-bomb tests begin with
cancellation of the Pacific test
scheduled next month.
“Of course, I would call upon
other nations to follow7 our lead.”
he said, “and if they don’t and
persist in further tests we will
know about it and we can re
consider our policy.”
His reference to other nations
obviously was aimed at Russia,
which recently has tested nuc
clear weapons in Siberia. There
have been reports Britain will
explode one next year.
Stevenson also proposed both
the United States and Russia
channel future foreign economic
aid through the United Nations.
| If Russia refused to go along, its
I intentions would become clearer
, to other nations, he said.
I Under Eisenhower, he said, U.S.
policy is “rigid, unimaginative
■ and fails to take advantage of
I new opportunities.” He said the
administration has “lost the moral
I initiative” abroad and the “mar
! ginal superiority over Russia” in
j armaments.

NOW COMES FRANK A. METCALF
asking your consideration of his candidacy for return to the
Office of Territorial Highway Engineer
He asks that consideration entirely on the
basis of his qualifications to discharge the
duties of that office, capably, efficiently and
economically. The first thing the people of
Alaska will look for, I assume, in judging the
qualifications of a candidate for Territorial
Highway Engineer, is his professional ability
in the field of engineering.
You would nof go to a blacksmith for
1 your dental work, nor hire a dressmaker to
remove your appendix. You would not want
a bookkeeper to try a case for you in court,
nor a schoolboy to draw up the plans for your
new house. The skilled professions call for
skilled and trained men. This is especially
true in the profession of engineering, in which
he has engaged for the past 5G years. I can
assure you of his unquestioned ability as an
engineer. This is important. In faci it is most
important to consider that fact in choosing a
man to fill the office of Highway Engineer.
More than 40 years of Mr. Metcalf's ex
perience as an engineer have been spent in
Alaska, including five years as Territorial En
gineer, the office to which he now seeks
election. He has proved that he can do the job.
To start with in listing his professional
qualifications, I should say that he is a grad
uate Civil Engineer with a Master's Degree
in that profession. Before coming to Alaska he
was employed in the Bridge and Building De
partment of the Milwaukee Railroad. Later he
was transferred to the Engineering Depart
ment and sent west on their extension to the
Coast. He was also engineer in charge of the
Last Chance Mine in Idaho. In 1913 he came
to Juneau for the Alaska Juneau Mining Co.,
on a three month assignment. He has lived
and worked in the Territory over since. His
work has taken him half a mile underground
and as high in the mountains. He has designed
and built bridges, airports and city streets,
I docks and highways. All of these things are
the direct every-day responsibilities of the
Territorial Highway Engineer. I consider Mr.
Metcalf qualified through special training and
years of experience to handle the intricate
engineering and administrative problems of
that office.
I ask that you examine carefully the
qaulifications of all the candidates for the
office of Highway Engineer. You will find
that Frank Metcalf is the only one who is
fully qualified professionally. The people of
Alaska should not have to gamble on the pro
fessional qualifications of their Highway En
gineer. They will never have to if they cast
their votes for ML Metcalf.
Engineering covers a wide range of activi
ties, all of which are of a professional nature,
requiring both training and experience for
their competent performance. Remember that
when you go to the polls. In order to practice
professional engineering in Alaska, one must
pass a rigid examination, even as doctors and
lawyers do, and must be registered and li
censed by the Board of Engineers and Archi
tect Examiners. Mr. Metcalf has the honor to
hold card No. 1 from the Board. His opponent
in the primary election is not a registered
engineer. He has not applied for registration,
nor could he possibly pass the rigid examina
tion required for registration. Yet he has filed
for the highest engineering position the Terri
tory has to offer. I ask again that you examine
carefully the qualifications of the candidates.
I know that it is impossible to please
everyone while serving in public office, this I
have proven by experience. If the voters of
the Territory see fit to return Mr. Metcalf to
the responsible position of Highway Engineer,
they will be placing their reliance on training
and experience such as is not matched by the
other candidate for this position.
If elected, I can assure you he will serve
you honestly and faithfully as he has done
in the past.

Alaska Control of Wildlife j
Resources Seen As Threat ^
To Washington Fishermen
WASHINGTON, UP — Proposals
to give Alaska control over its
wildlife resources have drawn op
opposition from Rep. Jack West
land (R-Washi, who sees in them
a “threat to the commercial fish
ing industry” of his home state.
Westland, a member of the !
House Committee on Interior and
Insular Affairs, said hundreds of
Washington State residents are
employed in the Alaska fishing
industry now regulated by the
federal government.
“I would not want to see this
multi - million dollar resource
turned over to a governmental
body representing only a small
portion of those whose lives are
vitally affected,” the congress
man said.
“Alaska’s territorial govern
ment has shown a marked tend
ency to favor residents, and inci
dents in the past have revealed
that when given a chance they
try to freeze out non - resident
business.”
Chairman Anticipates Permanent
Certification of Alaskan Airlines
WASHINGTON, iff*—Sen. Mag
nuson (D-Wash> said Saturday his
bill granting permanent certifica
tion for airlines serving Alaska
from the States as well as from
intra-Alaska points will be con
sidered by the Senate Interstate
and Foreign Commerce commit
tee April 25. Magnuson, commit
tee chairman said he anticipates
approval of the bill by the com
mittee.

Senate Group
Revises Alaska’s
Mental Health Bill
WASHINGTON, UP>—A Senate
Insular Affairs subcommittee met
today to strip controversy from
the Alaska Mental Health Bill.
The committee met this after
noon but chairman Jackson <D
Wash) said earlier it was likely
that proposed revisions in proce
dures for commitment of Alaska s
mentally ill would be removed
from the bill.
In lieu of these, the territory’s
legislature would be given author
ity to enact whatever commit
ment procedures it might desire.
“The people in Alaska should
know what procedures are best
adapted to Alaska,’’ Jackson said.
“I think they ought to decide.”
Such a solution would remove
the major source of controversy
from the bill but leave intact the
authorization for $12Vfe million in
cash grants and one million acres
of public land with which to aid
the territory in assuming the fi
nancial burden of the program.
Committee action would mark
another step in the progress of the
bill, which has been controversial
since it passed the House with lit
tle opposition.
President Eisenhower supported
the bill in his State of the Union
message and it has the support of
all of the government agencies
concerned.
‘Apparently Drunk' Is
Enough, Says Harriman
ALBANY, N.Y., UPV—Gov. Aver
ell Harriman has vetoed a bill
which, in effect, would have pro
hibited bartenders from refusing
to serve alcoholic beverages to
persons they considered “appar
ently” intoxicated.
The law now in effect says that
bartenders must not—and need
not—sen/e drinks to persons “ac
tually or apparently” intoxicated.
The bill the governor vetoed
would have changed the word
“or” to “and.”
The assemblyman who spon
sored the bill said some persons
had complained they had been de
nied service because of physical
characteristics such as a florid
complexion.
