^BECOMING QUITE A STRETCH ^ _
From One Editor to Another
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE will be host to
the delegation of the National Editorial Associa
tion members Friday morning at an 8 a.m. breakfast.
These are visitors who combine business with
pleasure by seeing, listening, and asking questions so
their millions of readers in the 14 states they represent
may better know about this fabulous 49th State.
Although their stay in Alaska is short, they will
have no doubts about the need for roads as they travel
across the state and see thousands of miles without
roads of any kind. As they-cross into the Arctic and
see the proximity of the Siberian coast, they can’t
help but wonder why our coastline has no defenses
ready to penetrate deep into an aggressor nation if the
need arises. We ponder about it, too!
As they fly close to Nome, and over the Seward
Peninsula, they will not be able to see the mineral
wealth which still rests in nature’s treasure chest, from
which $133,000,000 in gold alone has been produced.
Some day in the not-too-distant future, they may re
turn to see mining in progress for asbestos, coal, tin,
bismuth, graphite, mica, feldspar, silver, iron ore,
copper, and many other metals and minerals. To the
east of Nome, the first test drill is underway for oil
at Rateel. Then there is a potential reindeer industry.
As America’s expanding population spreads out
the value of this richest state becomes more apparent
and more significant.
Somewhere around 15 percent of all personal in
come in the nation is paid out now for nonwork. That
includes social security payments', life insurance, pri
vate pensions, dividends, interest and rent and various
payments under federal, state and local programs.
Not working obviously has become big business
in the United States. And it seems destined to get
bigger still. —Hagerstown Morning Herald.
A slowdown in the advance toward higher com
pression automobile engines and higher octane gaso
lines was forecast by four oil scientists at the Fifth
World Petroleum Congress. Further improvements
are likely, they said, “but the pace of the past cannot
be presumed to be the future.”
i House Labor Chief
| Tells Union Heads j
| Hands Off Hearings j
By B. L. LIVINGSTONE
WASHINGTON, UP) — Repre
sentative Graham A. Barden (D
NC) today accused representa-'
tives of organized labor of trying
to “take over” the House Labor
Committee in the drafting of la
bor control legislation.
Barden, the la^or committee
chiarman, made his charge before
the House Rules Committee in
asking that the House be per
mitted to debate the legislation
with no gag or parliamentary
strings.
Denouncing labor union repre
| sentatives for what he called rep
rehensible actions during the com
mittee’s six weeks of bill-drafting
sessions, Barden declared: “Hof
fa’s folks and the AFL-CIO have
sought to move in and take over
the chairmanship and run the
committee.
“I have been many years in
the House, but this has been the
most trying experience I have had
in my life.”
Representative Charles A. Hal
leck of Indiana and Senator Ev
erett M. Dirksen of Illinois, the
two leaders, said they strongly
recommended to the President at
a breakfast meeting that he “con
vey to the country his impression
of labor abuses” as disclosed in
Senate hearings.
Barden said labor racketeers
have “usurped more power to
themselves than a bad man should
have, and more power than a
god man should want.”
Likening the racketeering union
members to head hunters, Barden
said: “I have never been able to
stand being pushed around, and I
never intend to stand for it.”
Yet, Barden went on, that philo
sophy is “spreading in this coun
try and is as vicious as the venom
of a rattlesnake.”
Barden told the committee he
has never seen as much public in
terest in labor legislation since
the days of passage of the Taft
Hartley Labor-Management Rela
tions Law.

September 15 Is
Expected Date of
Khrushchev Visit
WASHINGTON, (A>> — It now
appears that Nikita Khrushchev
will begin his momentous visit i
to the United States on Septem
ber 15.
State Department officials said
yesterday it is safe to assume the
Soviet Premier will arrive here
that day. They said they could
not officially confirm that date,
however, since the final word has
to come from Khrushchev him
self.
Where Khrushchev will land in
the United States depends on the
type of airplane he will use, offi
cials said.
It is expected in any case, that
he will come directly to Wash
ington.
Informants said that since
Khrushchev is an official guest of
the United States, his visit to
Washington would by all means
precede an eventual appearance
elsewhere, such as the United Na
tions General Assembly in New
York.
This does not rule out the pos
sibility that the Russian leader
may address the General Assem
bly after his Washington visit.
President Eisenhower men-'
tioned only September in announ
cing Monday that Khrushchev j
would come here, and that later
in the fall he would return the
Russian’s visit.
A generally favorable reaction,
both in this country and else
where In the world, greeted Mon
day’s announcement that Khrush
chev has accepted Eisenhower’s
invitation to visit the United
States next-month.
Many expressed hope that East
West tensions would be eased if
Khrushchev were impressed first
hand with the nation’s strength
and peaceful intentions.
Communist China was notably
absent from the chorus of praise
on both sides of the Iron Curtain.
Talks with Eisenhower and a
10-day tour of the country are
among the plans for the Khrush
chev visit. Reports from Moscow
said the Soviet Premier is ex
pected to bring along his wife,
son and daughter.
With most details still uncertain^
there has been no announcement
whether Mrs. Eisenhower will ac- \
company her husband to Europe, i
