A NEW ANGLE
WE VOTE FOR ANCHORAGE
YOTERS OF ALASKA, 49th American State, are
in the midst of a furious controversy over a pro
posal to move their state capital from Juneau to
Anchorage, 600 miles to the north and west.
Canadians, if anyone wants their opinion, are all
in favor of Anchorage in this argument.
Anchorage is a port on the south shore of the
peninsular land mass that is properly Alaska. Juneau
is in the panhandle, which ought to be part of Canada.
Chances of having the panhandle transferred to
Canadian sovereignty may not be bright; but they
ought to be improved by the removal of the capital
from the disputed area. That would, in modern jargon,
de-emp'hasize the panhandle in Alaskan eyes.

Herter Calls Ludicrous
Khrushchev’s Call For
Another Summit Meeting
WASHINGTON, UP* —Secretary
of State Christian Herter Thurs- j
day denounced as “ludicrous in
the extreme” Soviet Premier
Khrushchev’s call for a summit
meeting of 82 heads of govern
ment at the United Nations.
Herter called Khrushchev’s vis
it to the United Nations a’move
to stage an irresponsible, anti
Western propaganda spree, ac
companied by boasts of Soviet
military might.
“It remains to be seen what
new visions of Soviet capabilities
for launching global devastation
Mr. Khrushchev will conjure up
when he appears before the Gen
eral Assembly,” Herter said.
The Secretary gave a far-reach
ing global review of foreign pol
icy problems in a speech pre
pared for delivery before the
United Press International Con
ference of Editors and Publishers.
He criticized Cuba’s Fidel Cas
tro as a “despot who seized the
Teins of government by trading
upon and then betraying demo
cratic ideals.” Herter also assailed
Chinese Communists leaders for
pursuing a “hard and belligerent (
hostility” policy toward the U.S.
Navy Crewman Soloes
4-Engine Bomber Half
Way Across Continent
NORFOLK, Va., UP — A Navy
enlisted man who singlehanded
flew a four-engine patrol bomber
halfway across the country was
back home today, mum, confined,
and facing what the Navy called
administrative action.
A Navy crew Monday flew Avi
ation Machinists Mate l.C. Rob
ert Swain, 34, here from Shreve
port, La., where Swain’s solo
flight ended Saturday.
Swain said the rest of the crew
was late for departure from San
Diego, Calif., so he took off in
the P2V5 Navy patrol bomber by
himself.
He never had flown a plane
before and the Air Force called
his first attempt “a very remark
able feat.”

Mr. K. Reds Send
jets Over Alaska
MOSCOW, WV-U. S. Ambassa
I dor Llewellyn Thompson yester
day told Premier Khrushchev to
1 his face that Russia has been
| sending planes over Alaska. The
J Soviet leader denied it.
The exchange took place during
I a 90-minute meeting on the eve
of Khrushchev’s departure for the
United Nations.
The reference to Alaska fol
lowed a discussion of the U2 spy
plane incident.
Thompson remarked that the
Soviet Union was sending ships
“along our coast and planes over
Alaska.”
Khrushchev quickly denied this
and said “What’s in Alaska?”
“There is an important base
there,” Thompson replied.
Most of the Thompson-Khrush
chev meeting was devoted to dis
cussion of the two imprisoned
American fliers.
Newsmen got the impression
Thompson made little headway in
obtaining their freedom, one con
dition for any new meeting be
tween Khrushchev and President
Eisenhower.
Soviet fighter planes shot down
an American RB47 reconnais
sance plane July 1 and the Rus
sians announced two members of
the six-man crew had been cap
tured alive: Lts. Freeman Olm
stead of Elmira, N.Y., and John
McKone of Tonganoxie, Kan.
At a U. N. Security Council
meeting in July the Soviet Union
accused the United States of ag
gression in sending out the RB47
i and announced Olmstead and Mc
1 Kone would be tried for espion
| age. The United States said the
plane was on a scientific mission
and was shot down in Arctic
waters outside Soviet territory.
The Russians vetoed a plan for
impartial investigation of the in
cident.
Eisenhower has insisted that
the two airmen must be freed and
other unspecified conditions met
before he could consider a meet
ing with Khrushchev at U. N.
headquarters. The Soviet pre
mier, for his part, is still insist
ing on an apology from Eisen
hower for the U2 spy plane in
cident of May 1.
Khurshchev apparently is going
all out for the assembly session
beginning Sept. 20. taking an en
tourage of 138 officials. The US.
Embassy in Moscow issued visas
for 361 persons who will make
the trip to New York with the
premier. This included 191 crew
men of the liner Baltika.
Khrushchev himself was issued
a visa because he is traveling as
chief Soviet delegate and not head
of the Soviet state.

I Assistant D.A. at Fairbanks

i lor was announced by State Atty.

Dillingham and now Deputy Mag
istrate at Anchorage, will assume

Pickets Protest Plans
For Khrushchev to Stay
At Waldorf-Astoria
NEW YORK, t^P) — Disclosure
that Soviet Premier Khrushchev
plans to stay at the Waldorf-As
toria Hotel during his United Na
tions visit brought out a picket
line Wednesday night.
About 100 persons paraded in
front of the hotel with anti-Com
munist placards.
Another demonstration is sched
uled Sunday.
The placards bore messages I
such as:
“Killer Khrushchev insulted

shelter.”
“Murderers belong in Sing
Sing, not in the Waldorf.”
Organizations represented in
the demonstration included the
American Hungarian Federation,
the Chinese Student Association,
the Serbian - Americans and the
Hungarian Freedom Fighters.
Sixty-five policemen stood by.

Baltika.
Where the ship will dock ap
peared uncertain.

might dock or moor in the East 1
River near the United Nations j
building, but Coast Guard and j
other officials said this would not :
be possible.
CITY BUYS $2,000 WORTH OF

Eisenhower Praises U.S.'
Space Achievements
HUNTSVILLE. Ala., OP—Presi
dent Eisenhower—jabbing appar
ently at the Soviet Union—said
Thursday America’s space
achievements can be credited to
hard work, toughness of spirit
and self - reliant enterprise, and
not to grasping state imperial
ism.
Eisenhower put it that way in
a speech dedicating the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration's Space Flight Center to
the memory of his World War II
Army chief, Gen. George C. Mar
shall.
The President flew in from
Washington for the ceremony and
for a check on developments at
the center of the superthrust Sat
urn rocket—a tremendously pow
erful vehicle which this country
is counting on to overtake the
Soviet Union in that field.
After reviewing and praising
U.S. accomplishments in space
exploration, Eisenhower said in
his prepared text: “These, of
course are only the beginnings.
This past month new milestones
in space exploration have been
headlined throughout the world.
As the months go by we shall see
many more.”
