BAD PENNY
Jacob A. Malik, a rough rooster, hatched politically
in the Bolshevik Revolution, and with no love for the
United States, is back—to take the place of the late,
but not lamented, Andrei Vishinsky as Russia’s head
man at the U.N.
From 1948, when he suceeded Andei A. Gromyko
in this post, until 1952, when Vishinsky took over,
Malik distinguished himself by his toughness and his
dead-pan ability to offer the most outrageous proposals
without looking foolish.
We can expect more of the same. .

For Atom in Peace
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., l/Pl—
The U.N. General Assembly gave
final unanimous approval Satur
day to a resolution setting in mo
tion President Eisenhower’s at
oms-for-peace plan.
The Soviet bloc countries joined
in the affirmative vote after the
Assembly had rejected their ef
forts to amend the resolution, pre
viously approved unanimously by
the Assembly’s Political Com
mittee.
This was the second major pro
posal to receive unanitnous en
dorsement at the current Assem
bly session. The 60 delegations
previously had approved a plan
of work for the U.N. Disarma
ment Commission.
The atoms-for-peace resolution
applauds President Eisenhower’s
efforts to establish an internation
al agency to sponsor the peaceful
uses of atomic energy and calls
for an international scientific con
ference on this question before
next August.
One of the defeated Soviet am
mendments would have placed
the proposed agency under the
U.N. Security Council, where Rus
sia has the veto. This was rejec
ted 43-5 (Soviet bloci, with 11
abstaining.
The resolution, as approved,
provides that the relationship of
the atomic agency and the U.N.
would be determined by future
negotiations.

Nome - Fairbanks Road to Get
Bigger Share of Tax Funds
Under Board’s Revised Formula
JUNEAU—Thirteen future high-’
ways were “adopted” by the Ter
ritorial Board of Road Commis
sioners at a meeting ending here
Nov. 28 as an Alaska trunk road
system on which 50 percent of gas
tax funds available for roads will
be spent hereafter.
The board revised its formula
for allocating funds so as to spend
only 50 percent in the judicial
division from which taxes were
collected, the other half gonig to
the “trunk” system.
Listed in the trunk road cate
gory, though not in any order of
priority, are the following routes:
Teller-Nome-Kougarok- Ram
parl-Fairbanks.
Ruby - Poorman - McGrath -
Susitna River.
Fairbanks - Nenana - McKin
ley Park.
Fairbanks-Chena-Hoi Springs
Circle.
Copper River Highway.
Dillingham - Iliamna Bay-Ho
mer.
Ketchikan - Wrangell - Pe
tersburg - Juneau - Haines -
Skagway car ferry service.
Haines-Skagway-Carcross.
Juneau - Taku River - Alaska
Highway.
Stikine River - Alaska High
way.
Unuk River-Alaska Highway.
Slana-Nabesna-While River.
Copper River-Kaialla.
The complete system, which
would require many years to
build, would criss-cross the terri
tory with land routes.
In the past, highway expendi
tures by the territory have been
allocated to the division in which
the motor fuel and license taxes
were collected.
The trouble with that system,
according to Highway Engineer
Irving Reed, was that operation
of the Juneau-Port Chilkoot-Skag
way- ferry alone “sank” the First
Division share, while the Second
Division did not collect enough
to provide for snow removal.
In the 12 months ending Sep
tember 30, 1954, a total of $859,
406.34 was collected in taxes on
motor fuel used in vehicles. This
is combined with collections from
auto licenses (which ran $43,
211.72 this year) to make up the
fund which the board will here
after allocate to the engineering,
snow removal, local roads and
trunk highway purposes.
In addition, $166,755.06 was col
lected in the 12 months from tax
on boat fuel and $274,362.83 on
aviation fuel. This is allocated
to expenditures for those marine
and airfield purposes.
2 Duck Hunters
Pulled From Mud
By Young Rancher
MILNER, Idaho, liP)—Two duck
hunters from Eden, Idaho, owed
their lives today to a 23-year-old
rancher who roped them with a
lariat and hauled them from a
reservoir as mud sucked around
their necks.
Mr. and Mrs. Goss Gordon and
Walt Gooding, all in their 30s, be
came stuck in the ooze early Fri
day aiter their untried boat cap
sized on the lake behind Milner
Dam.
Gooding worked himself free,
but the Gordons were up to their
necks before two other duck hunt
ers, hearing their screams, had
summoned Edwin Bench from his
nearby ranch.
Racing across the dam on horse
back, Bench threw a rope to Mrs.
Gordon. It settled over one arm
which she raised at Bench’s order.
He dismounted and hauled her to
safety.
Meanwhile Gordon, after more
than an hour of struggling, was
too groggy to respond. So Bench
tossed a pole on the mud and
inched forward, placing the noose
around his body.
Bench and the two other hunt
ers hauled Gordon to safety. Gor
don and his wife were taken to
a hospital in Burley, Idaho.
Gooding told rescuers that the
three became mired only 16 feet
from solid ground soon after their
boat capsized. He said the more
they struggled the worse they be
came entrapped in the mud.

Ike Congratulates
Sen. Watkins for
Censure Handling
WASHINGTON, Uf)—President
Eisenhower Saturday congratula
ted Sen. Watkins (R-Utah) for the
“very splendid job” he did as
chairman of the special commit
tee which recommended censure
of Sen. McCarthy.
James C. Hagerty, White-House
press secretary, made this state
ment to reporters in the presence
of the senator after Watkins con
ferred with the President.
Hagerty said the President told
the senator “he thought he (Wat
kins) handled a difficult and
tough assignment with a great
deal of dignity which reflected the
respect the people have for the
Senate of the United States.”
In response to a question, Hag
erty said the President still was
ollowing a hands-off policy with
regard to the McCarthy contro
versy itself.
The Senate voted Thursday to
condemn the Wisconsin senator’s
conduct after Watkin’s special
committee had recommended such
action.
Asked whether he believed the
Senate vote, which found the
Democrats unanimous against Mc
Carthy and the Republicans di
vided 22-22, would result in a
“permanent rift” in the Republi
can Party, Watkins replied:
“I din’t think any one man can
cause a permanent rift in the
party. A party may be divided on
great principles, but I don’t think
an action taken with reference
to one individual can split tht
party permanently.”
