Communist Party’s New Manifesto
Says Aims will he Gained Without War
MOSCOW IS* — Confidently ,
proclaiming that capitalism is j
dying, the Soviet Communist
party has mapped a vast program
of challenge to the West that will
guide its policy in forthcoming
decades.
Whether or not its goals of
peace and prosperity are realized,
they will be a major factor in ;
Moscow’s decisions for years.
The new program is the first
since the 1919 manifesto issued in
Lenin’s day, when the Soviet j
Union was struggling to stay alive.
The new manifesto, published
by the Communist party Saturday
night and certain to be adopted
with only minor revisions at the
party’s 22nd Congress this fall,
shows a clear imprint of Prem
ier Khrushchev’s thinking, and
especially his doctrine of “peace
ful co-existence.”
“Socialism will inevitably take
over from capitalism everywhere,”
said the manifesto. “Such is the
objective law of society.”
Writh this assumption made, the
Soviet planners then go on to
claim that Communism can take
over the world peacefully, step
ping into the vacuum that they
believe will be created by crumb
ling capitalism in the West. There
was this warning:
“In case the imperialist ag
gressors dare to unleash a new
world war, people will not tolerate
the (capitalist) structure which
involves them in a disastrous war.
They will sweep and bury im
perialism.”
This view corresponds with
Khrushchev’s argument in the So
viet Union's dispute with Com
Soviet Navy Chief
Says U.S. Is No Longer
Safe from Naval Attack
LONDON UP—The Commander
in Chief of the Soviet Navy, j
Adm. Sergei Gorshkov, declared
Saturday the United States was I
no longer safe from naval attack, j
In a Pravda article broadcast |
by Moscow radio on the eve of
Soviet Navy Day, Gorshkov boast
ed of the power of a modernized
Soviet Navy and warned, “it is
worth the while of the most zea
lous lovers of military adventures
in the West to take thought for
the fate of their coasts and ex
tremely extended communications
and to remember that the tra
ditional invulnerability of Amer
ica has been abolished forever.”
The admiral repeated recent
Soviet claims that the Soviets
have more and faster rocket fir
ing atomic submarines than the
United States.
Western Observers
Not Impressed with
Soviet’s Sea Might
MOSCOW UP — The Soviet
Union put on a show of its sea
might Sunday but kept under
wraps rocket-firing submarines
that Deputy Defense Minister
Andrei Grechko says are the
backbone of the Red Navy.
Western observers who watched
the naval demonstration off Lenin
grad said they were not particu
larly impressed.
Grechko, in a speech before
taking the salute, boasted “the
backbone of the Soviet Navy’s
might is up-to-date atomic
powered submarines equipped
with rockets of various kinds.”

munist China. Peiping contends
it will be necessary to fight the
capitalist nations for world mas
tery. As a result the Chinese lead
ers have adopted a much more
aggressive posture in dealing with
the West and their people have
been told that years of sacrifice
lie ahead.
By contrast, the party mani
festo promised the Soviet people
free medical services, schooling,
rent, public transportation, com
munal meals and public utilities—
all by 1980.
Food shortages will end, retail
taxes will be abolished and retail
prices will go down, the party
predicted. Women will also get
lighter jobs.
There was one loophole in this.
The manifesto warned that these
promises can be fulfilled only if
the world remains at peace.
Khrushchev has staked his po
litical status with the Soviet
people as a man committed to
a policy of peace, at least on
paper. No warnings were issued
against the United States, but
again the party saw that country
and other capitalist countries as
on the decline.
“The main bulwark of modern
colonialism is the United States,’’
the manifesto said. “The vital
condition for the solution of all
problems is a persistent struggle
against imperialism.”
But no “holy war” was decreed
against imperialism. The mani
festo said: “The great objectives
of the working class can be real
ized without wor'd war.”
U.S.-British-French
Garrisons Hold Early
Morning Alert in Berlin
BERLIN m — Berlin’s U. S.,
British and French garrisons held
another early morning alert today,
practicing the defense of the
threatened city.
At 4:30 a. m. loudspeaker
trucks woke residents of the
areas where married troops live.
Many members of the 11,000-man
allied garrison in West Berlin
have their families with them.
Allied officals called it a routine
exercise of the kind that takes
place at irregular intervals.
West Berlin police also held
a night training exercise, but
headquarters insisted that this
was not coordinated with the al
lies.
About 2,000 refugees from Com
munist East Germany poured into
West Berlin in the 24-hour period
ending at 8 o’clock Sunday night.
The number — 200 greater than
the previous day — was a record
for any one day since June 1953,
when anti-Communists revolted
in East Germany.

His new duties are to be outlined
later.
Mrs. Kathryn S. Patty
Suffers Fatal Heart Attack
SEATTLE (A"> — Private family
services will be held Tuesday at
2:30 p. m. at the University Pres
byterian Church here for Mrs.
Kathryn S. Patty, wife of Dr.
Ernest N. Patty, retired president
of the University of Alaska, who
died Saturday of a heart attack.
She was 65.
Mrs. Patty had undergone sur
gery about a week ago.
The Pattys were married in
1919. Four years later they went
north to Fairbanks where Dr. Pat
ty became Dean of the University
of Alaska School of Mines. He left
the university in 1935 to engage
in mining operations near Fair

in Seattle during the winters. Dur
ing the summers Mrs. Patty ac
companied her husband on trips
to northern mining operations.
Dr. Patty became President of
the University of Alaska in 1953.
He retired last year, and resumed
residence here.
Last month they attended cere
monies at Palo Alto, Calif., for
a son, Don F. Patty, of Los Altos,
who received a masters degree
from the Stanford University
Graduate School of Business.
The Pattys had traveled widely.
In 1957 they made an around
the-world trip by air. ,
Survivors include another son,
Stanton F. Patty, staff reporter
on the Seattle Times, and seven
grandchildren.
I Alaska’s Army Draft
Quota for Month
Of August Set at 24
I JUNEAU — Alaska’s Army
draft quota for the month of
August has been set at 24, a slight
increase from the last call of 22,
in February, Lt. Col. Dan Ma
honey, State Director of Selective
Service said today.
The increased number of men
to be called up from Alaska ap
parently reflects President Ken
nedy’s request for new defense ef
forts to meet Communist threats
in Berlin.
Mahoney, who said he received
the August call last night, esti
mated that in recent years Se
lective Service has taken approxi
mately 100 men a year from Alas
ka.
Men who have volunteered for
service, Mahoney said, will be
taken first to fill Alaska’s quota
for August, then men classed as
1A for the draft will be called up,
with the oldest to be taken first.
Mahoney, who returned last
weekend from a conference of Se
lective Service directors at Ton
gue Point, Ore., said he planned
to make a tour of all Alaska draft
boards starting Aug. 14, to pre
pare for any sharp increase in
Alaska’s draft quota.

JAPAN GETS THIRD SUB
TOKYO (4*1 — Japan’s Navy
got it’s third submarine today
with the launching of the 750-ton
Hayashio at Kobe, 350 miles south
west of Tokyo.
The navy’s other submarines
are the Japan-made Oyashio and
the U. S.-made Kuroshio.
Congress Gives
JFK Full Authority
For Military Status
WASHINGTON i/Pt — Congress
today gave President Kennedy
full authority to put one-quarter
of a million reservists into uni
form and add 12 months to mili
tary enlistments and active duty
tours.
The House voted overwhelming
approval of the emergency resolu
tion, previously passed by the
Senate. This sent it to the White
House six days after Kennedy
called for an immediate defense
buildup to deter or win any fight
for Berlin and to meet Communist
threats elsewhere in the world.
The resolution specifically em
powers the President to call on
active duty for one-year up to
250,000 ready reservists as indi
viduals or in units. It also au
thorizes extended training periods
for all of the 2,440,000 members
of the ready reserve.
The $3,253 billion required to
pay for the added fighting strength
and $207.6 million to start a civil
defense shelter program, are con
tained in a separate measure.
j Airliners Have
I Series of Unrelated
Difficulties . . .
Airliners from coast to coas*
and from Massachusetts to Puertc
Rico were plagued this weekend
in a series of unrelated landing
and takeoff difficulties that
bruised nothing but some sched
ules.
The lone casualty was a 20
year-old girl who fainted after
leaving a plane that had caught
fire on landing.
In all, seven airliners with a
total of about 600 passengers were
affected.
A short circuit in a landing
gear set off a fire aboard a Mo
hawk Airlines Convair shortly be
fore it landed at Worcester, Mass.,
Sunday. Louise McBride, a Bos
ton University student, fainted
on leaving the plane.
In Portland, Ore., fire broke
out in the landing gear of a
Northwest Airlines DC7C as it
took off Sunday night.
A fire warning in one engine
caused the pilot to apply brakes
to stop the takeoff, and the heat
generated by the stop was be
lieved to have set off the landing
gear fire. The original fire warn
ing was false.
In New York, a Pan American
DC8 jet from Paris skidded off
a runway Saturday, shortly after
an Eastern Airlines DC6 was
forced to circle the field for three
hours while crew members loosen
ed a stuck nosewheel.
In San Juan, Puerto Rico, a
Pan American jetliner with a
capacity load of 174 managed a
safe landing Saturday after re
porting that its hydraulic brakes
were not working.
There were two similar inci
dents in Los Angeles the same
day.
An American Airlines Boeing
707 jet caught fire and blew a tire
when its front landing gear col
lapsed as it touched down.
Earlier, crewmen aboard a
Trans World Airlines Convair
880 jet were forced to pump
water, coffee and milk into the
craft’s hydraulic system as a
makeshift but effective method
of lowering a jammed nose-gear.

By Fritzi Witti
WASHINGTON M — Sen. Er
nest Gruening is strongly in favor
of preserving wilderness areas in
their primitive state for the fu
ture.
But he wants to be sure that
the locking-up of such areas
doesn’t get out of hand, that the
“off limits” sign doesn’t get put
up for the wrong reasons.
That is the main message of
individual views he submitted to
the favorable report on the
wilderness preservation bill by the
Senate Interior Committee.
He described some extreme con
servationists as wanting to go so
far they would deny “the ac
cessibility upon which the enjoy
ment of wilderness is predicated.”
He expressed special concern
over what might happen to Alas
ka without proper safeguards and
cited figures to show that the sit
uation in the 49th State is “total
ly different” from the older 48
states.
Alaska, he pointed out, has only
225,000 people, or one to about
every three square miles com
1 pared with national density of
i 501/* persons per square mile.
He noted that nearly 19 million
acres have been set aside in Alas
ka for wildlife refuges and game
ranges in contrast to a total of
just over 10 million acres set
aside in the other 49 states.
The committee adopted one
amendment by Gruening which
I he believes offers “a reasonable
| safeguard to the fear I have that
J distant men, without adequate
l knowledge of Alaska’s needs, will
| act in such a way as both to limit
! the possibilities for enjoyment of
our parks, wildlife refuges and
game ranges, and also interfere
needlessly with required econo
mic development.”
This amendment would apply
to any state having more than
90 per cent of its total land area
owned by the federal government
on Jan. 1, 1961 — this means
Alaska, of course, where some 98
per cent is owned by the govern
ment.
In this case a five-member
Presidential Land Use Commis
sion would be named — not more
than three of the same party and
including three from the state
concerned. The group would ad
vise the Secretary of Interior on
how the federal land could best
be used, developed, protected and
preserved.
Gruening feels this would pro

Terror Breaks Out in
Doukhobor Country of
B.C. — Tomb Dynamited
NELSON, B. C. UP) — A tomb
was dynamited, two community
halls were burned and incendiary
bombs were found Sunday during
an outbreak of terror in the Douk
hobor country of southeast British
Columbia.
Members of the Orthodox
Doukhobor sect blamed the out
burst on a fanatical element in
protest against efforts by the sect
to buy the land they occupy from
the Provincial government.
No injui'ies were reported, but
a blast tore a gaping hole in the
lower tier of a memorial where
Doukhobor leaders Peter ‘'The
Lordly” Verigin, and his son,
Peter II, are buried.
