Army Relinquishes
Land Tract Near Nome
ANCHORAGE, May 14—A tracl
of land near Nome has been relin
quished by the U.S. Army, Alaska
nearly three years in advance ol
the expiration of the land use per
mit.
A small Army Signal Corps de
tachment occupied the 89 acres
being released following issuance
of a five-year use permit by the
Bureau of Land Management, De
partment of Interior, in Dec. 1953.
The acreage being no longer re
quired, the Army has turned the
land back to the federal agency.
Neither restoration nor decontam
ination work was necessary since
there were no Army improve
ments on the land and no explo
sives or chemicals had been used
on this tract.

Russia and Japan
Agree On Pacific
Fishing Rights
MOSCOW, OP — The Soviet
Union gave the green light Tues
day to Japanese salmon fisher
men in the North Pacific. The
Russians and Japanese also agreed
to resume negotiations on a World
War II peace treaty not later than
July 31.
Winding up 20 days of talks
here, Soviet and Japanese delega
tions signed a 10-year fisheries
agreement and a 3-year sea rescue
agreement — tooth effective when
the peace treaty is negotiated —
and an interim agreement cover
ing the 1956 salmon fishing sea
son.
London talks aimed at writing
a formal peace treaty have been
stalled for months. Among the
chief stumbling blocks are Japan’s
demand for restoration of terri
tories occupied toy Russia after
World War II and repatriation of
Japanese nationals.
The interim agreement permits
the salmon season to get under
way in the northwest Pacific at
once. A Japanese spokesman said
the exchange of notes gives Japa
nese fishing boats the right to
enter Russian - restricted zones
along the Soviet Asian coast.
Both agreements provide for
joint Soviet-Japanese control over
fishing in the restricted areas.
Rhee Elected
To Third Term
By Small Margin
SEOUL, Korea UP)—Doughty old
Syngman Rhee won his expected
third term as South Korea’s Pres
ident today but strong opposition
cut his vote to only about 55 per
cent of the total ballots cast.
The 81-year-old Conservative,
South Korea’s only President
since the Republic was established
in 1948, polled 72.6 percent of the
total vote in the 1952 election.
In the separate vice presidential
ballots, Rhee’s running mate, Lee
Ki Poong, was trailing Democratic
Party candidate Chang Myun, a
former ambassador to the United
States. However, Lee was still
given a good chance to pull ahead
in the rural counting.
Because of Rhee’s advanced age
many politicos think the next vice
president may well turn out to be
the old man’s presidential heir.
Rhee piled up a big lead in the
country districts. In the big cities
of Seoul and Taegu he trailed the
combined total of his opponents—
a dead man and a former Commu
nist—and ran a poor second in the
capital.
Patrick Henry Shinicky, Demo
cratic Party candidate who died
of a cerebral hemorrhage May 5,
was the choice on most of the
ballots declared invalid. Votes for
Shinicky were automatically dis
carded.

free enterprise system.”
A different view came from Re- j
publican National Chairman Leon- i
ard Hall in a speech at the Mary- j
land State GOP convention in ;
Baltimore today.
Labor Gets More, Business Less
Hall said under the Eisenhower
Administration labor has been
getting more and business less
than each got under the Demo
cratic administration of President
Truman.
Striking the “Peace, Progress
and Prosperity” theme, Hall said
“Labor’s share of the total nation
al income amounted to 65 percent
during the Truman years, but has
risen to 69 percent in the first
three years of the Eisenhower Ad
ministration.
“And corporation profits, after
taxes, which averaged 7.8 percent
of the total national income dur
ing the seven Truman years,
dropped to 6 percent in the first
three Eisenhower years.”

FAIRBANKS, UP — Rep. Edith
Green (D-Ore) Monday attacked
the “cult of middleism” in a com
mencement address before 40
graduating seniors at the Univer
sity of Alaska.
Mrs. Green and Z. J. Loussac,
Anchorage pioneer and philan
thropist, were awarded honorary
degrees as doctors of law.
Rep. Green cited the pending
Alaska Mental Health Bill, which
she helped sponsor, as an example
of her contention that the middle
road in politics often “leaves us
halfway between sense and non
sense.”
She said that the “hate-ob
sessed groups who called the
measure a plot to create a Siberia,
U.S.A.," were direct opposites of
the “overwhelming mass of in
formed judgment.”
Mrs. Green attacked a stand
somewhere between the two as
useless. The congresswoman
added that liberalism offers lead
ership, whereas the middle of the
readers are “coasting on the mo
mentum of the liberal past.”
The seniors were presented
diplomas by Dr. Ernest N. Patty,
university president.
The new Student Union Build
ing also received dedication as
Constitution Hall, the edifice in
which Alaska’s state constitution
was written.
