Khrushchev Parries
Reporter’s Query If He
Is Power Behind Scenes
MOSCOW, UP—Soviet Commu
nist Party Chief Nikita Khrush
chev Monday night ducked a di
rect question whether he is the
real power behind the scenes in
Russia. The query didn’t even
raise his blood pressure.
“Let’s have a drink and ask me
another time,” he said with a
smile to an Associated Press cor
respondent who posed the ques
tion during a Czech embassy par
ty. Khrushchev is generally re
garded in the West as the top man
in Soviet Russia.

Alternate Power Project
Advanced by Canada For
Alco Plant At Skagway
VANCOUVER, B.C., UP> — Jean
Lesage, Canadian Minister of
Northern Affairs and National
Resources, says the prospect of
Canadian water being available
for the proposed Alaska alum
inum project near Skagway de
pends on the outcome of a Fro
bisher, Ltd., survey of a Can
adian' alternative.
Lesage is the Canadian equi
valent of our Secretary of the
Interior.
He said at a news conference
that Frobisher, the giant Canadian
mining and development corpor
ation, is in the middle of a survey
of the hydroelectric potential of
the Taku River. The Taku enters
Alaska from British Columbia
about 40 miles northeast of Ju
neau.
The Frobisher proposal would
provide for actual generation of
power on the Canadian side of
the boundary. Under the Skagway
plan, the Aluminum Co. of Am
erica proposed to develop power
on the Alaska side by tunneling
to the Yukon headwaters.
The Skagway project has been
stymied by the Canadian refusal
to grant the international water
rights.
Lesage said no proposal for use
of the Yukon River waters would
be considered until after the Taku i
proposal has been thoroughly
studied and the Canadian govern
ment has received a report on it.

Soviets Unveil
Another World
Peace Plan
MOSCOW, UFi — The Soviet
Union unveiled a world peace
plan today calling for the itp
mediate withdrawal of most for
eign troops from both East and
West Germany, big power arms
cuts and a controlled ban on
atomic weapons.
The plan was made public a
few hours before top Soviet of
ficials gathered in Warsaw with
leaders of their seven East Euro
pean allied nations to establish a
unified NATO-type alliance under
a Russian commander.
The announcement also came
shortly after the delivery of West
ern invitations for Soviet Premier
Bulganin to meet with President
Eisenhower, British Prime Min
ister Eden and French Premier
Faure for an informal discussion
of world problems. There was no
immediate Soviet reaction to the
invitation, but it was believed
here Bulgahin would accept.
The peace plan was circulated
by the Soviet’s Tass news agency,
which said the proposals were
contained in two declarations sub
mitted as a resolution to the U.N.
subcommittee on disarmament
now holding closed sessions in
London. Many of its provisions
were similar to previous Soviet
proposals.
