WAY
Anyone May Help The
Hot Lunch Program By
Providing Meal Tickets
“The smile that comes from a
child when he is told he can eat
a hot lunch at school is very
heart warming,” said the Public
Health Nurse, Mrs. Nels Swan
berg, Jr.
Several organizations have al
ready donated generously toward
the feeding of some of the needy
children. Contributors so far are:
Rotary Club, Pioneers of Alaska,
Home Arts Club, and Beta Sigma
Phi sorority.
From these funds and addition
al funds received from families
who receive aid and return it
during the summer, 46 children
are now being helped. Some of
the children, said Mrs. Swanberg,
come from fatherless homes.
Some are from homes where the
father is out of work. However,
it is not all charity, because
many of the families which bene
fited last year repaid the program
when they were able to.
Anyone, organization or in
dividual, who wishes to contrib
ute to this project may give or
send their donations to either
Esther McCoy or Mrs. Swan
J»erg. It costs only $6 to give
one child a hot lunch every school
day for one month.

Russia Ready To
Talk . . . But . ; .
'Continued from Page One)
that Eisenhower’s letter would
be answered in due course.
In that same letter, Eisenhower
urged an agreement to control
outer space for peaceful purposes
and to stop making missiles and
like weapons.
In a speech Khrushchev made
last week, he said any ban on
intercontinental missiles would
| have to be part of a disarmament
package containing Soviet pro
posals the West previously has
J rejected.
The Soviet leader demanded the
dismantling of U.S. military bases
abroad, the reduction of foreign
forces in Germany and elsewhere
in Europe, an immediate ban on
nuclear weapons and tests of
such weapons, and creation of an
atom - free zone in central Eu
rope.
There was no official reaction
to the speech during the week
end, but some senators and others
interpreted it as meaning Russia
was taking a rigid position —
standing fast on its previous pro
posals and possibly even boost
ing its terms.
This view was shared by some
Western diplomats in Moscow.
One of these said Khrushchev
has made it clear “that the Soviet
Union is ready to talk peace and
disarmament at a summit con
ference on the Kremlin’s terms
and no others.”

6 Percent Increase
In Airlines Fares
Approved by CAB
WASHINGTON, Iff!—The Civil
Aeronautics Board says it will
approve a 6.6 per cent temporary
airline fare increase — pending
completion of a general fare
study—if the airlines make a new
request for an interim boost.
These interim rates, the an
nouncement said, “would be ef
fective until the board’s decision
is reached in its general passen
ger fare investigation now in pro
gress.”
i The CAB said to get the tem
Iporary hike, the airlines would
have to “come forward with such
proposals.” The companies are
expected to do so.
In its general investigation of
fares, the CAB is studying in
crease proposals ranging from 12
to 20 per cent. The industry says
fares have remained virtually un
changed for 20 years, but costs
have risen considerably.
Last year, seven of the 12 trunk
! airlines asked a 6 per cent emer
j gency interim fare hike, but the
CAB turned down that request.
The agency said such an increase
for all domestic lines would cost
the traveling public an additional
67 million dollars annually.

Ambassador Zarubin Proposes
Members of Congress and Russian
Supreme Soviet Exchange Visits
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON. W—'Two sen
ators Saturday approved a re
ported proposal that members of
Congress and the Russian Su
preme Soviet exchange visits to
watch each other at work.
Two other senators approached
the matter more guardedly.
It was understood the proposal
was made to Vice President Nix
on by Soviet Ambassador Georgi
Zarubin in an unusual 40-minute
farewell call on the Vice Presi
dent. Zarubin is returning to Mos
cow next week. He is expected to
become deputy foreign minister.
In the absence of any official
confirmation, there were indica
tions Nixon and State Depart
ment officials were favorably im
pressed with Zarubin’s idea as
one likely to promote good will.
In that same talk, Nixon was
said to have underscored Presi
dent Eisenhower’s proposal for an
agreement to preserve space for
peaceful use. The Vice President
apparently got no commitment
Friday Basketball Results
Last Friday evening basketball
fans saw two fast games at the
High School gym. The first game
was a close one between the ACS
and NG-NS with the ACS losing
only in the final minutes 42-44.
In the second game the Bering
Sea Club Panthers lost to the
Nome Merchants 75-53.
On Friday, this week, the Pan
thers play the ACS and the High
School Nanooks line up against
the NG-NS.
i from Zarubin on the proposal.
An announcement is expected
within the next few days of a
U.S.-Russian agreement for ex
changes of persons and delega
tions between the two countries.
Swapping of legislative delega
tions is not believed part of that
agreement. Any such exchange as
Zarubin proposed would require
approval of Congress as well as.
the State Department.
Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R
NJ), a member of the
NJ) said he is “very ’favorable”
to the idea of an exchange of
legislators.
Sen. Kefauver (D-Tennf said
“I think we ought to be willing
to meet them on even terms.”
Sen. Mansfiled (D-Mont) said
Congress would have to consider
all aspects of the proposed ex
change. And Sen. Capehart (R
Ind\ who has visited Russia, said
he thought it might be all right
to exchange legislators “but I
don’t see anything that would be
gained by it.”
