Japanese Say Russians
Build Missile Bases
In Vladivostok Area
TOKYO, Uft—A Japanese econ
omic journal said Russia has built
two bases for launching guided
missiles and is constructing a new
submarine base in the Vladivo
stock area it closed to foreign
navigation July 20.
The newpaper Nihon Keizai
pinpointed the missile bases at
Slavyanka and Kraskino, about
40 miles and 80 miles respectively
southwest of Vladivostok.
Nihon Keizai quoted sources in
the Japanese government’s re

The section collects and analyzes
foreign information for the prime
minister. Officials declined to
comment cn the report.

gation by foreign ships and
planes in the Vladivostock area
and the Japanese, British and
U.S. governments have protested
that the action is a “flagrant vio

Brides Should Remember
To Change Names With
Social Security Admin.
JUNEAU—Many a fair maid
has changed from a Miss to a Mrs.
in the past few months. “How
many new brides there are is
known only to the Bureau of Vital
Statistics and actually, we don’t
care,” says James G. Browne,
manager of the Social Security
office in Juneau.
“However, whenever a person
changes his name, the Social Se
curity Administration is con
cerned. We want to know about it
so we can bring our records up to
date and issue a new social secur
ity card. Even tho a person isn’t
planning to work now, it is best
to notify us.” ’ j
“A social security account is
• something like a bank account,”
said Browne. “If it is in the name
of Miss Jones, we cannot record j
earnings for a Mrs. Smith.
It’s easy to change the records I
to show your new name and have
a new card issued. The form can
be obtained .from any post office
or by writing to the Social Se
curity Administration, Box 1331,
Juneau, Alaska.

Senate Votes v
[Atomic Reactor
For Anchorage
WASHINGTON^ UPC- The Sen
ate Friday night passed by voice
vote a 389 million dollar atomic
energy authorization bill which
calls for construction of a nuclear
reactor costing $19,279,000 at An
chorage for the Chugach Electric
Assn.
The bill contains a directive to
the Atomic Energy Commission to
build reactors for five municipal
power groups and rural electric
cooperatives, including the Chu
gach Assn., and to make available
to them steam at a price based
on that from the use of conven
tional fuels. The House had elim
inated this provision which au
thorizes expenditure of about 99
million dollars.
The Senate defeated all admin
istration efforts to knock key re
actor projects out of the bill.
The outcome was different in
the House, which last week strip
ped from the measure all but one
of the key reactor provisions in
serted by the Democratic major
ity in the Senate-House Atomic
Energy Committee. The House
version follows more closely the
administration’s recommenda
tions.
