Distress Areas Are
Hard Hit or Will Be
Due To Bad Season
(By the Associated Press)
First reports in a survey of the
Bristol Bay and southeastern Al
aska districts, after President
Eisenhower’s designation of major
disaster areas Friday, show that
both are either already hard hit
or will be shortly because of the
poor fishing seasons this year and
last.
Steve Blanchard, chief bush pilot
for the Northern Consolidated
Airlines, said at Anchorage:
“Nobody is starving now, but
the situation could become serious
this winter in the Bristol Bay
area.”
A check at Wrangell showed
this general picture:
An estimated 100 men, mostly
with families, will be in need of
work as the winter advances and
the small amount of money they
made during the poor fishing sea
son becomes exhausted. Merchants
expect the credit situation to be
come acute after the holidays.
At Sitka, this is the situation:
Business houses have been hard
hit financially by failure of the
fishing season. Ninety-three men
have indicated a need for some
kind of work and many others
are using up their savings to keep
going.

Indian Commissioner Says
Government Does Not Ask
Indians to Give Up Culture
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., (A —
Glenn Emmonds, Indian commis
sioner, says the desire of the gov
ernment to wean Indians from
federal trusteeship does not mean
it wants them to give up and for
get their own tribal culture.
He met Friday with 200 leaders
of 26 Indian groups of New Mex
ico and southern Colorado.
Equality for Indians with the
rest of the people of the nation is
the government’s goal, he said,
but that does not mean “we are
expecting Indians to give up their
own culture and be just like ev
eryone else.”
He said the object of the gov
ernment’s plan is to give Indians
the same opportunities for ad
vancement and the same freedom
and upsponsibility in management
of their property as other Ameri
can citizens.
U.S. Proposal For Korea
Peace Talks Rejected By
Reds As ‘Sleight Of Hand’
PANMUNJOM, UPl— American
Ambassador Arthur H. Dean Sat
urday proposed a “flexible” agen
da to speed up talks for arranging
a Korean peace conference but
the Communists immediately re
jected it as “sleight erf hand.”
The diplomats debated an hour
and three minutes, got nowhere
for the sixth straight day and
called it quits until Monday.
He still feels the Reds want the
conference and “it is not surpris
ing that it has taken us some time
to get shaken down on a working
basis.”
Dean proposed a “flexible or
unnumbered agenda” under which
the negotiators could skip around
among various problems that must
be settled before the political con
ference can convene.
SHE LIKES MEN
DETROIT, UP) — She’s petite,
brunette and 37, and she “likes
men.” She has married five.
Now she’s in jail. Not for div
orcing only three, which police
say is so. But for false pretenses 1
because, police claim, she tried
too hard to impress her intended
No. 6, buying $595 worth of
clothes on a credit card that was
n’t hers.
“Now they’ll probably throw
the key away,” says Mrs. Liggett
Swank Bradshow Pasiuk Van Os
tenbridge Boyd Caros. “But I still
like men.”

Heintzleman Gets
Praise For Efforts
To Help Fishermen
WASHINGTON, UP)— Undersec
retary of the Interior Ralph A.
Tudor has told Delegate, Bartlett
that President Eisenhower’s des
ignation of disaster areas in Alas
ka was due to “unstinting efforts”
by Territorial Governor Frank
Heintzleman.
Eisenhower Friday- designated
northwestern and southwestern
Alaska as major disaster areas.
The action was taken to relieve
fishermen in those areas hard
pressed by a poor salmon season.
Tudor replied to a telegram
which Bartlett sent Eisenhower
last week, protesting that Heint
zleman had refused to meet with
him and Henry A. Benson, Alaska
labor commissioner, on the prob
lem.
Besides praising Heintzleman,
Tudor’s telegram to Bartlett out
lined further steps the governor
has taken to relieve the distress,
including arranging for distribu
tion of surplus food commodities
and the launching of a public
works program which may in
volve the expenditure of as much
as $550,000.
“Eformulation of this program,”
Tudor said, “must illustrate to
Alaskans the deep concern of this
department over the effects of the
adverse fishing season on territor
ial inhabitants and communities.
“If you have further suggestions
as to what may be done to amel
iorate this most unfortunate situa
tion, I will be happy to confer
with you at a mutually convenient
time which can toe arranged.”
