Off To A Good Start
INTEREST IN CIVIC AFFAIRS was manifested by
the residents in their attendance at the regular
Council meeting on Monday evening and the two
special meetings which followtd.
Although the issue of appointing a fire chief
drew fire, caused some eloquence, some anger, some
embarrassment during the rapid change overs, it
really is a healthy sign that the public is finally
showing interest in the affairs of the city.
For a long time the community has been apathetic
to what the City Council does. The new Council is
off to a good start if the interest continues. However,
it is not enough just to attend a meeting or two just
to find fault with what the elected Council is doing.
It is much better to have a representative group
present at all regular meetings, to offer construstive
advice and suggestions before measures are passed,
rather than passing judgment after the Council has .
made a decision.
The City Council was elected by a majority of the
electors, and its members are entitled to a measure of
confidence and respect.
National Defense Transportation Day
*JpODAY IS National Defense Transportation Day, by
proclamation of Governor William Egan.
“The success of our national defense and the pro
motion of our national economy is dependent upon a
modern land, air and sea transportation, and nowhere
under the flag of our nation is that more true than in
the State of Alaska, where great distances, varied
means of transportation and climatical extremes are
combined with absolute need for scheduled, depend
dable transportation to supply the necessary commod
ities and materials needed by the gigantic defense
organization located here to provide an invincible
bastion of defense for the free world.”
From: Vice President Nixon (at a recent press
, conference): “The United States will be priced out
of the world market if we do not recognize the Soviet
use of world trade as a cold war weapon and meet the
threat by dealing with the problem of rising costs and
inflation here in America.”
Army Engineers Likely
jTo Get Green Light On
Navigation Projects
WASHINGTON. UP) — Resolu
tions authorizing Army Enginters
to proceed with surveys costing
about $500,GOO on 39 possible navi
gation projects in 16 states and
Hawaii were approved Wednes
day by a House Public Works
subcommittee.

is the only further action needed
I to start the surveys.
The surveys, with estimated
costs by states, include Petersburg
Harbor, in Alaska, which report is
already authorized, and will not
constitute an increase in cost.
Two Indicted For Treating
Fish With Poison Nitrite
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., OP)—Dan
iel Diorio, president of the Uni
versal Seafood Co., and Noel Le
Castro, a foreman for the firm,
were indicted Wednesday by a
federal grand jury on felony and
friisdemeanor charges in the »dis
tribution of poisoned fish.
An investigation started March
26, when flounder allegedly
treated with poison sodium nitrite
killed three-year-old Dale Klein
schmidt of Hadden Heights, N. J.
Hundreds of people in the greater
Philadelphia area complained of
illness.
The chemical is sometimes used
to preserve meat, but is not al
lowed for fish.
Boeing Decoy May Be
Carried By Jet Bombers
WASHINGTON, UP) — A missile
that unfolds its wings to fly may
be used aboard a new version of
the K-52 heavy jet bomber to con
fuse the enemy, Boeing Airplane
Co. said yesterday.
The missile, the McDonnell
Quail, is 10 feet long, resembles
a midget pilotless airplane. But
when the bomber launches the
missile the quail darts away at
the same speed as the bomber.
Because of techniques that are
still secret, the Quail shows up
on enemy radar screens as the j
same size as the bomber. Thus an
enemy would be unable to deter
mine whether it was a big bom
ber or the decoy.
