COPENHAGEN, UB — Scandi
navian Airlines today completed
the inaugural flight of its Tokyo

North Pole. Another SAS Airliner
raced the other way to open the
Copenhagen-to-Tokyo route.
The two big DC-7Cs missed a

champagne.

Behind-the-scenes efforts to
break the Middle East deadlock
were intensified Saturday after a

sanctions against Israel.
Despite the atmsophere of crisis

ment on Egypt’s stand regarding
the Gaza Strip.
He said the Egyptian govern
ment would let the U. N. Emer
gency Force .UNEF) to take up
positions in the disputed strip.

U. N. help end all raids from
either side of the Egyp‘ian-Is
raeli border.

Assembly yestreday poened its
delayed debate on the latest as
pects of the Middle East dispute.
New Japanese
Prime Minister Has
Conservative Views
TOKYO, UP* — Nobusuke Kishi,
60, a skillful politician who once
scrubbed floors in U. S.-run Su
gamo prison, today became Prime
Minister of Japan.
Kishi is a political conserva
tive who is expected to make few
changes in Japan’s pro-Western
■policy. He has said Japan and the
United States must always “go
hand in hand,” but Japan also
must do business with Red China.
The Diet( Parliament) elected
Kishi overwhelmingly to the post
he has long coveted, replacing
Prime Minister Tanzan Ishibashi
who resigned because of ill health
Saturday fater only two months
in office.
After the Japanese surrender,
Kishi was jailed as a suspected
war criminal but was free after 3
years without being charged. At
Sugamo Prison outside Tokyo,
Kishi relates, the American GI
guards ordered him and other top
ranking Japanese prisoners “to
scrub 'the dirty floor with soapy
water, over and over, until it
shone.”
“When I found out I was not
t be indicted or hanged,” Kishi
says, “I began to thing about the
rest of my life as a bonus to be
spent wisely. I had long reflec
tions on the past and decided that
Japan must have real democracy
and never again adopt dictator
ship iby anyone—military or inon
miliary — and never yield to ex
tremists—Communists or Fas
cists.”

5-Year Master Plan for Alaska Hiways
[Mapped out by Road Commissioners
Dewey Goodrich, Second Di
vision member of the Board of
Road Commissioners returned
from Juneau from the first meet
ing of the members of the Bur
eau of Public Roads board with
representatives from Washington,
D. C.
The board was somewhat han
dicapped due to the fact that only
two members could attend as the
members from the 1st and 3rd di
visions had not been approved by
the Legislature.
Goodrich states that the meet
ing was of vital importance as
the master plan for Alaska High
ways for the next five years was
laid out. Any roads not on the
plan stand little chance of re
ceiving funds for development to 1
any great extent.
The master plan as finally j
drafted includes for the Alaska I
highways system under the Fed-!
eral Highways Act 5,086 miles'
of primary and secondary roads,
and the Haines to Ketchikan
ferry.
Of this, 413 miles included in
the plan represent existing high
ways and the remaining 903 miles
is to be built with federal funds
over a period of five to 8 years.
163 miles represents primary
roads and 2,500 represent second
ary roads.
The Alaska Highway extension
from Eureka to Tanana, stated
Goodrich, had not been included
until the importance of this con
necting link was stressed by the
Ike Broadcasts
On 15th Anniv. of
6Voice of America’
WASHINGTON, UP) — President
Eisenhower told the Middle East
nations today the menace of in
ternational Communism “could
smash all their hard-won accom
plishments overnight.”
In a world-wide radio broad
cast marking the 15th anniversary
of the Voice of America, Eisen
hower noted that in the face of
that menace, he has asked Con
gress to approve an anti-Commu
nist program for the Mid-East.
“I believe that the well-being
of the people of the Middle East
requires the nations of that re
gion to build up and strengthen
their economies and institutions,”
the President said. “We want to
see that kind of progress.”
The Administration’s Mid-East
program is right in with that ob
jective, he said, and continued:
“And so we give these countries
the assurance that if such a dan
ger develops, and if the United
Nations machinery cannot deal
with the danger, and a threatened
country asks for our help, it can
count on our help.”
The Administration program be
fore Congress would provide for
use of American troops in the
Mid-East, if necessary, and auth
orize 200 million dollars annual
ly in financial aid.
MOVIE STAR NOMINATED
FOR BRIGADIER GENERAL
WASHINGTON, UP> — Movie
star James Stewart, now a colonel
in the Air Force reserve, was
nominated by President Eisen
hower today to be a brigadier gen
eral.
[ northern delegates, and it has
now been included — a distance
of 100 miles.
The importance of the Teller
road was also stressed and it was
agreed that the Penny River
bridge would be built this year
with ground survey and staking
to follow up the aerial survey of
that road made last year. This is
to be done as soon as practical so
that contracts for road building
at each end of the road can be let
in time for actual. road building
in 1958. There’s about 45 miles of
road to be built to complete this
road.
The road to Bunker Hill will
continue as soon as the surveys
are complete and contracts can
be let. A minimum of $600,000 is
allocated for this project, plus
surveys. A rough pilot road is to
be completed during the 1957
season.
Goodrich stated that a total of
$18,640,000 is budgeted for road
work in Alaska this season, both
building and maintenance.
He also stated that it was in
teresting to note that all types
of roads in the Territory now
total 4,030 miles, ranging from
modern asphalt paved highways
(€4 foot surface) to the single lane
I graveled surface type and a small
i mileage of unsurfaced dirt roads,
i In addition to this, 445 miles of
trails are maintained during the
winter by flagging to guide trav
elers across open wastes or froz
en coastal waters.
