1125 Millions Asked For
Paving Alaska Highway
WASHINGTON, UP> — Sixteen
I senators are sponsoring a bill to
| authorize the United States to
| join with Canada in paving the
I Alaska Highway.
The bill is the same as one in
j troduced by Senator Richard L.
i Neuberger <D-Ore> last year short
i ly after Congress voted to make
! Alaska the 49th State.
The 1,200-mile project, largely
within Canada, would cost an es
timated 125 million dollars. This
includes 15 million to make an all
weather road of the 110-mile
Haines Cutoff running southeast
to the British Columbia border
j from the Alaska Highway.
CANADIANS PLAN TO BUILD
ARCTIC RESEARCH SHIP
OTTAWA, (A*) — The Canadian
government is going to build a
seven-million-dollar hydrographic
research ship to penetrate far into
arctic waters.
The 4,200-ton vessel will carry
a crew of 80 to 85 and -a scien
tific staff of 15 to 20. Target date
for completion is spring o 1961.
Fast Ferries Proposed
For Southeast Service
SEATTLE, t® — An ambitious
program to attract tourists to
Alaska with fast ferries running
between Prince Rupert, B. C. and
Skagway, was outlined yesterday
before the Alaska Division of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
The tourists would travel over
Canadian highways to Prince Ru
pert. Then, after 231/z hours of
sailing through the scenic waters
of Southeastern Alaska, they
would take to the highways again
at Skagway or Haines for an
overland tour of interior Alaska.
Proposals for the ferry service
are now before the Alaska Lcgis
| lature.

9-Foot Python Run Over
In Downtown Houston,
Property of Snake Charmer
HOUSTON, Tex., < — Red
haired Barbara Childs, an appren
tice snake handler from Dallas,
yesterday mourned the tragic
dcath'of Oscar, a nine-foot python.
She read in the newspapers
Wednesday that his body had been
found at the door of a downtown
department store. Police said a
car ran over him.
“Oscar was in a water tub with
Sheba and Prince — two other
pythons,” said Mis Childs, 19. “We j
were curing them of a bad case i
of mites.
“When we read in the paper!
that Oscar had been found, we
ran to the tub and Oscar was
missing.”
Until Miss Childs got in touch
with them, police had been
puzzled how the python got there.
Oscar was the property of Miss
Catherine Kelly of San Antonio.
Mis Childs said her part in their
act is to drape a rock python about
her while Miss Kelly lectures in
side shows.
Oscar disappeared from their
trailer park quarters five miles
from downtown.
“It’s hard to believe he crawled
that far. I think he was kidnaped,”
said Miss Childs.
She planned to retrieve his re
mains from the city dump.
“Ihl have him skinned and the
skin tanned,” she said. “It won’t
be the same as having Oscar, but
it will be something.”
Soviets Agree To Halt
Dumping Tin On World
Markets, Disrupting Trade ,
BOSTON — The Soviets have
' agreed to limit their tin exports
' for 1959 under terms of a new
agreement reached with the In
ternational Tin Council. Accord
ing to Reuters reports, which an
ticipate official announcements
expected shortly, the acceptance
by the Soviets of export limita
tions implied that importing re
strictions — barring Soviet tin
from such countries as France.
Britain, the Netherlands and Den
mark — had been lifted.
While the agreement is not ex
pected to have a sharp impact on j
international tin prices, there is j
hope of a stability that was not |
apparent in 1958 transactions. |
Last year, as producing countries
cut back exports, Soviet traders
dumped quantities of evidently
stockpiled tin on world markets
and disrupted trade and prices.
Experts believe this move large
ly depleted the Soviet reserves
| and that there is consequently
little worry that the Soviets will
again this year, export large quan
tities of tin.
