Mending The Back Fence,
AS THE FRONT LINE OF DEFENSE diminishes
and shrinks farther back from the coast of Alaska,
our friends in Fairbanks begin to understand what
the people of Northwestern Alaska and the Seward
Peninsula have been harping on and talking about
ever since Marks Air Force Base was de-activated here
several years ago.
With the taking away of some of the fighting
strength from Ladd Air Force Base, people in the
Interior of Alaska realize that the invitation to make
northern Alaska the first target of World War III has
again been offered, and the back door of North Amer
ica swings open a little wider for invasion and attack.
:Small nations around the globe must think
Americans are a strange people when we send millions
after millions into countries that lean toward the
enemies of America, while we allow the Communist
aggressors to move ever closer to the heart of our
free world.
Our military leaders openly admit that there are
several armed bases on the Siberian coast facing us,
yet as Russia strengthens her aggressive posture, the
United States recalls its foremost line of defense back
farther, and whistles a tune of “economy.”
If we would keep the confidence of the little
nations to whom we loan our money, we must meet
the war whoops with our own display of strength, and
an ever-ready reminder that America is a strong
nation, ready to defend all of its people.
If Congress should turn its back on foreign aid
for even one year, many of the countries that receive
such aid would realize what has been done for them,
and properly appreciate American financing. These
funds, used to repair the fence at the back door of
America could do much to restore the respect of many
nations around the globe for the Land of the Free.

Fulbright Wants
U-2 Blame Shifted
From Chief Exec.
WASHINGTON, — Allen
W. Dulles, top United States in
telligence officer, refused to tell
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee yesterday the purpose
of the U-2 spy plane’s pre-summit
flight over Russia.
Dulles, director of the Central
Intelligence Agency, was ques
tioned for nearly six hours in
morning and afternoon closed
door sessions.
Reporters got only a skimpy ac
count of his appearance from
Sen. J. Wm. Fulbright (D-Ark),
the committee chairman.
But Fulbright did say that
Dulles would not comment on the
intelligence mission of the U-2
plane which was downed over
Russia May 1.
I Fulbright attributed to the
State Department and the White
House what he called President
Eisenhower’s “unwise” decision to
accept personal responsibility for
| the flight.
j Fulbright said he blamed the
“questionable decisions” on poli
tical officials of the State Depart
ment and the White House.
Dulles, U. S. espionage chief,
pulled a tight intelligence agency
cloak of secrecy around his testi
mony about the shooting down of
the spy plane two weeks before
the collapse of the Paris summit
conference.
Fullbright said he has heard no
testimony to date that persuaded
him it was wise for Eisenower to
assume responsibility for the
flights.
And he indicated that Dulles
himself had offered to take per
sonal responsibility for the spy
plane flight.
Dulles, himself, declined to talk
of his testimony with reporters
either before or after the morning
session.
Fulbright said there probably
would be “very little, if anything,”
made public on Dulles’ testimony.
The committee is looking into
foreign policy implications of the
spy plane crash with its pilot deep
inside Russia May 1. After that
incident Russia wrecktd the May
16 summit conference in Paris and
renewed an anti-American propa
ganda campaign.

| U. S. Peeks Into
j Soviet Motives for
Heavy Iron Curtain
WASHINGTON, UP — The So
viet Union’s threat to attack any
foreign airfield used by a plane
flying over her territory was seen
here today as part of a determined
effort to keep secret her reloca
tion of missile bases.
American analysts of Soviet af
fairs said that is the significance
of a speech Monday by Marshal
Rodion Malinovsky at a Kremlin
meeting of Communist workers.
It follows similar warnings by
Soviet Premier Khrushchev
against permitting use of the bases
by spy planes.
Malinovsky said he has ordered
rocket strikes at the base from
| which any plane takes off and
| violates air space of the Soviet
I Union or its Communist partners.
“We do not know what the in
j truder plane may carry,” he said
| in explaining the order. “It may
! well be a hydrogen bomb.”
| The State Department had no
immediate official comment.
Arizona Republican Says
G-O-P Will Have Tough
Fight for Congress Control
WASHINGTON, Iff) — Repub
lican Senator Barry Goldwater of
Arizona says it will be almost im
possible for the G O-P to win con
trol of the Senate in the fall
elections.
The chairman of the Republican
Senatorial Campaign Committee
says there are just too many Sen
ate races in the south. There are
now 65 Democrats to 35 Repub
licans in the Senate and one-third
of the seats are at stake.
In a taped radio interview to
day, Goldwater expressed a bit of
optimism in this manner:
“What we’re hoping to do is to
hold our own, and I believe we
can pick up from two to four
seats.”
The conservative senator’s opin
ions on House elections are any
thing but conservative, however.
He optimistically maintains that
the Republicans could gain con
trol of the House — where all the
seats are up.

4SEATO Stems
Red Advance’
Says Eisenhower
WASHINGTON, UPl — President
Eisenhower said yesterday the
SEATO defense pact has helped
to prevent further Communist
domination in Southeast Asia.
Eisenhower made the statement
in a brief speech at a White
House luncheon attended by dele
gates of the Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization conference which
opened yesterday.
“We can take much satisfac
tion,” the President said, “in the
fact that our first objective of
preventing further Communist
domination through aggression or
suppression in the treaty area has
been realized.
“However, we cannot afford to
relax our vigilance or slacken
our cooperative efforts to further
the high priciples of the Pacific
theater,” he said.
The SEATO treaty was signed
in 1954.
Before the luncheon the SEATO
conference heard Vice President
Nixon call for a conference of
“firmness without belligerence”
toward the Communists rather
than a war of words he said might
lead to nuclear war.
Secretary of State Herter
pledged full U. S support for
SEATO in its quest for peace and
stability in the Far East.
“The United States is deter
mined to continue to carry out
its responsibilities in concert with
the other members,” Herter said
in an address.
