Senate Democrats Drafting 10
Point Anti-Recession Program
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, UR — Senate
Democrats are drafting a 10-point
anti - recession program which
party leaders plan to give a
speedy start through Congress.
The program is being put to
gether by individual committees
under the guidance of the Demo
cratic Policy Committee headed
by Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas.
It will represent the party’s an
swer to demands that Congress
act before the business slump gets
worse.
Johnson is understood to have
told his colleagues that while he
is opposed to a “gloom and doom”
attitude, he thinks immediate
steps must be taken to combat
unemployment which now has
reached 4Vfe million.
Johnson avoided public com
ment on President Eisenhower’s
expression of confidence that the
economic downturn has about
run its course.
But other senators made it
clear they are not as optimistic
as the President. One of these,
Sen. Aiken (R-Vt) said “The ad
ministration has got to do more
than issue statements.”
Sen. Mansfield (D-Mont) said in
a separate interview he hopes
Eisenhower is correct in his fore
cast “but I have grave doubts
that he is.”
But Republican officials, in
Lincoln Day speeches around the
nation, expressed confidence the
economy is not in serious shape.
In Brooklyn Secretary of Com
merce Weeks said the Democrats
support a “gloom and doom” pro
gram to “sell America short.”
He promised the Republicans
would “slug back,” and try to
“nail every reckless charge.”
In New York Secretary of La
bor 'Mitchell said despite the cur
rent rise in joblessness, Republi
cans this year can campaign on
an administration economic rec
ord “unmatched in our history.”
Waning Popularity
Foreshadows End Of
MacMillan’s Government
LONDON, — A shattering
defeat in an election to fill a
House of Commons vacancy cast
gloom today over supporters of
Britain’s Conservative govern
ment.
The waning popularity of the
Conservative rulers headed by
Prime Minister MacMillan was
pointed up dramatically in the
North England textile city of
Rochdale.
The Conservatives not only lost
their grip on the district’s House
of Commons seat but ran a poor
third to both the opposition Labor
party and the normally weak Lib
erals.
Conservative leaders had been
reconciled in advance to loss of
the election, but the magnitude
of the defeat came as a surprise.
Uniform Closing
Hours Sought
For Bars, Taverns
JUNEAU — Finance Director
John McKinney has said he will
ask the Territorial Board of Liq
uor Control to consider adoption
of uniform closing hours for all
bars, taverns, clubs and package
stores in Alaska.
McKinney, a member of the
five-man board, put his recom
mendations in a letter asking
that such a regulation be adopted
at the next meeting of the group.
McKinney’s proposed regula
tion would knock one hour off
the present Saturday night oper
ating times for establishments
within the territory’s larger
towns. It would end the 24-hour,
operations now allowed for es
tablishments outside of incorpor
ated areas and in towns with less
than 750 residents.
McKinney’s letter, addressed
to other liquor board member's,
proposed closing hours between
2 a.m. and 10 a.m. on weekdays
and holidays and closure between
2 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Sundays.
The finance director, who re
peatedly has urged uniform clos
ing hours for all liquor licensees
or no closing regulations on any
of them, said adoption of the pro
posal would permit the board “to
carry out its responsibilities un
der the law.”

Airmen Standing Up Well
Under Simulated 7-Day
Space Trip to the Moon
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., UP>—Air
Force officials said today that
Donald G. Farrell, on the down
hill side of a mythical 7-day trip
to the moon, had shown his first
sign of real fatigue in the experi
mental space cabin here.
“However, this morning after a
real good sleep he sounded much
more alert and we are very op
timistic he will complete the full
seven days,” said Lt. Col. George
Steinkamp, chief of space of med
icine at Randolph Air Force Base.
“It was during last night’s work
problems that we saw for the
first time indications of real fa
tigue. He skipped a couple and
slowed down in reaction to
others.”
Farrell entered the experimen
tal space cabin last Sunday mor
ning and is scheduled to be re
moved from simulated cabin of a
space ship at 9:35 a.m. this Sun
day. Lt. Col. Steinkamp said he
believed Farrell will gain weight
during the week.
Canadian Youth Skating

FORT ST. JOHN, Ofr—Twenty
ye r-old Melvin Beaulieu of Fort
Vermillion, Alta, paused ip Fort
St. John Wednesday to sharpen
his skates.
He’ll probably sharpen them
quite a few more times before he
gets to his destination. Melvin
plans to skate all the way to An
chorage along the ice-covered
Alaska Highway. He started from
Whitecourt, Alta. The total dis
tance is about 3,000 miles.
He skates at speeds of six to
15 miles an hour, carrying an 80

from truckers and cars.
Melvin says: “I have a job
waiting for me at Anchorage and
I’m warmer skating than riding.
I have fun, meeting and talking
with people.”
