NO SECRETS ?
Publication of U.S.-Canadian joint plans for con
struction of a radar advance warning line in the Arctic
is rather terrifying. Our goose-pimples are not raised
by the implications of its necessity, but rather by the
inferred admission of our defense authorities that the
Russians already know all about it.
If this were not so, the Pentagon would hardly
give out extensive details, including a map showing
location of the new chain. Even if our plans can’t be
protected, it would be nice to think someone was at
least trying. s

Man Beats Ex-Wife, Takes
^Vl'mony To Make Next
Monthly Payment
BALTIMORE, UPI —Paying $75
weekly alimony really wasn’t as
expensive as it sounds for Albert
W. Foil, his wife told the judge.
He would pay the money to the
probation department and wait
until she cashed the- department’s
check. Then he would take the
cash away from her to make the
next week’s payment, Mrs. Anna
Foil testified yesterday. The Foils
are legally separated.
Foil, 43-year-old steel construc
\ tion worker with six previous con
victions of assaulting his wife,
was up in criminal court on a
similar charge. Mrs. Foil said he
i beat her again last Sept. 28 after
| he was notified by probation of
! ficials to discuss his falling $1,000
| behind in alimony payments.
“I love my wife very much and
[ if I hit her I’m sorry” Foil told
the judge.
The judge sentenced him to
one year on the assault charge
and deferred sentence on another
charge of violating probation on
the alimony deal.

Oregon Spokesmen Urge CAB To
Continue Through Air Service
From Portland To Alaska Markets
By FRANK VAILLE
WASHINGTON, UPI — Repre
sentatives of Oregon intervenors
urged the Civil Aeronautics Board
yesterday to continue through air
service from Portland to Alaska
markets.
The plea was made by three
spokesmen, including Mrs. Ruth
Van Cleve of the Department of
Interior solicitor’s office, at oral
arguments involving air service
between the Pacific Northwest
and Alaska.
A CAB examiner has recom
mended renewal of Pacific North
ern’s authority to fly from Seattle
to Anchorage but urged denial of
a similar renewal of Alaska Air- j
lines’ authority to operate be- j
tween Seattle-Portland and Fair
banks. He said he found “no justi
fication in extending Alaska
flights south of Seattle.”
Frank Clay, representing the!
Portland Chamber of Commerce, j
Freight Traffic Assn, and Port,'
urged renewal of both Alaska and
Pacific Northern south to Portland.
He said elimination of Portland as
a co-terminal with Seattle “is ut-j
terly incompatible with” the
board’s finding last year that the.
two northwest cities should have
a common fare rating with Alaska
communities.
Referring to the examiner’s con
tention that United and Western
airlines provide adequate service
between Seattle and Portland,
Clay said these carriers do not
offer satisfactory connections with
Alaska-bound carriers, necessitat
ing delay in Alaska shipments.
“The problems in such delay
are placed in focus when it is
realized that a substantial propor
tion of the freight carried to the
territory is perishable and you
know what happens to eggs and
butter when they sit around wait
ing for trans-shipment,” he de
clared.
“The fact of the matter is that
the development of Alaska is so
important to this country that it
just can't be trifled with,” Clay
asserted. “The continued growth
and development of Alaska is de
pendent upon air transportation
through a competitive source of
supply which the territory has en
joyed only during the last two
years. It should not be compelled
to return to stifling non-competi
tive conditions formerly existing.”
