Norway Province
May Evacuate If
Radioactivity Rises
HAMMERFEST, Norway —
Rudolf Olsen, fishery inspector in
Finnmark, Norway’s northernmost
province, says the entire popula
tion of the province may have
to move south if the level of
radioactivity continues to rise
from Soviet nuclear tests.
Since Sept. 1 the Soviet Union
has conducted at least 20 nuclear
tests in the atmosphere, most of
them in the Novaya Zemlya area
in the Barents Sea only 600 miles
from Finnmark’s rugged shores.
The Finmark people are living
in a tense atmosphere. For gen
erations the fishing fleet of north
ern Norway has battled the icy
waters of the Barents Sea, often
going within sight of Novaya
Zemlya to get ite batch.
“Our existence will be ruined
if the nuclear tests result in the
poisoning of the fish in the
Barents Sea,” Olsen - said. The
fishery Industry is the basis of all
life in Finnmark. The whole pop
ulation may have to be moved
south.’’
The population did that once,
when Hitler’s Wehrmacht retreat
ed in the winter of 1944-45 be
fore advancing Russian troops,
not a house was left undamaged.
Even the cellars were blasted to
prevent the Red army from using
them. About 70,000 people were
moved south.
In the summer of 1945 they re
turned to rebuild their homes.
After years of suffering and hard
ship they now fear they will have
to start all over again.
“In any case the . authorities
must tell us what we can do to
protect ourselves against radia
tion—if there is any protection,”
Olsen said.
Even the Communist leader in
Finnmark—a Moscow-trained for
mer member of Parliament—is
worried.
“It is unbelievable that the Rus
sians permit themselves to carry
out these tests,” Communist boss
Gotfred Hoevold said.
“The expert’s staterpents that
most of the radios!btive fallout
whhefiT down over Soviet Russia
leads me to believe that the Rus
sians have found a way to pro
tect themselves against radkp
' activity. I believe this" because I
find 'it inhuman and impossible
to believe that a nation destroys
its own people in cold blood.”

State Chamber
Told Housing Facilities
Inadequate for Tourists
KETCHIKAN — A warning
that Alaska is not preparing ade
quately to meet the need for
housing for the coming tremen
dous expansion of tourist travel
to the state, coupled with a rec
ommendation of state-guaranteed
loans, for tourist accomodations,
was voiced here 'by C. B. West.
West, who is president of Arc
tic Alaska Tours, largest mer
chandiser of Alaska travel in the
United States, and who also
operates two luxury cruise ships
to Alaska, pointed out in a hard
hitting talk before the State
Chamber of Commerce Conven
tion that the Olympic Hotel in
Seattle alone has 25% more
rooms with bath than are avail
able in all of the hotels in An
chorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and
Ketchikan combined.
He charged his organization is
having already to refuse -business
equal to their present total volume
because of the ability to meet the
demand for good, first-class, hotels
said, “to state that we have ample
space at one point in a tour if
there is a bottleneck somewhere
else.”
West cited the report of the
Battelle Institute to the Alaska
Joint Rail and Highway Commis
sion, created by the Congress to
study future development of the
U.S. and Canadian areas adjoin
ing Alaska. This report forecast
850,000 tourists annually would
be coming to Alaska by 1980.
This he said would require a
5,000% increase in tourist accom
modations.

| Jackie Ought to
Be Able to Wear
What She Wants!
WASHINGTON to — Mollie
Pamis, designed clothes for two
former First Ladies, thinks Mrs.
Jacqueline Kennedy “ought to be
able to wear what she wants”—*
including slacks, scarves and
French fasions.
Now jokingly known among her
New York fashion colleagues as
“the out-of-season White House
designer,” Miss Pamis takes a
sympathetic view of First Ladies’
fashion problems. They have
plenty of them, she reports.
Miss - Pamis rates Mrs. Ken
nedy, 32, as having a natural flair
for clothes—she looks good in
just about anything from bathing
suit to formal, says the designer.
If Mrs. Kennedy wants to wear
a scarf on her head in the coun
try, that’s okay with Miss Pamis.
She says some women, taking a
look at that properly tied scarf,
might learn something.
As for French styles: Mi«s Par
nis says It’s "old fashioned” to
think a First Lady has to wear
only American-designed clothes.
“If an occasional French dress
gives Mrs. Kennedy a lift—and
to what women would it not give
a lift—why not? says Miss Par
nis.
Miss Pamis didn’t just come out
with these views. A group of
Washington reporters besieged
her with questions on the subject
at a recent New York meeting.
She designed clothes for Mrs.
Dwight D. Eisenhower and Mrs.
Harry S. Truman while they were
White House occupants.
Citing problems of a First Lady,
Miss Parnis said it’s “an amazing
experience" for a fashion con
scious young woman like Mrs.
i Kennedy, who loved to go into
• stores and shop, not to be able
• to do so.
Because she can’t do that any
more, Miss Parads explains, Mrs.
Kennedy has to have someone
she can trust—like Oleg Cassini,
whom she chose as her personal
designer, to shop for her.
