30 Miles From
Soviet Territory
WASHINGTON, l/fl — T h e
United States accused Russia yes
terday of shooting down a U.S.
reconnaissance bomber over in
ternational waters at least 30
miles from Soviet territory.
The United States demanded
the release of two Air Force of
ficers held by the Soviets.
The accusation was made in a
note delivered by the U.S. Em
bassy in Moscow.
The note rejected a Russian
charge that the aircraft, operat
ing in Arctic waters off the So
viet-Norwegian border, had vio
lated Soviet air space.
Immediate access of U.S. diplo
mats to the two known survivors
of the six-man RB-47 was de
manded and the Soviet govern- ,
ment was asked to return to U.S.
officials the body of the pilot,
Capt. William G. Palm of Oak
Ridge, Tenn.
The Russians said in their pro
test note Monday that Palm’s
body had been found in a rubber
life raft. Three crewmen had been
reported missing.

WADE RULES ON
VOIDING BALLOTS IN
AUG. 9 PRIMARY
JUNEAU, The Aug. 9 pri
mary election and Initiative No.
1 ballots are independent bal
lots and while the vote on one
ballot may be voided, the other
would still be valid, Secretary of
State Hugh Wade said today. ,
Wade made the comment after i
being asked what effect the new |
state election code provision
which prohibits crossing party
voting on candidates would have
on the capitol move initiative, in
regard to its location on the ..ime
sheet of paper as the primary
election ballot.
"As far as we are concerned,”
Wade said, “we view the primary j
election ballot and the initiative
as two distinct ballots, even
though they will appear on the
same piece of paper.
“If the primary ballot is voided
through cross-voting, we still will
count the vote on the initiative,
which has a place of its own at
the bottom of the sheet.
"The reverse could be true. We
could void the initiative ballot
for some reason and still count
the primary election ballot.” he
said.

On drunk charges, Eugene Ave
suk was fined $30 in city court,
and Bart Tocktoo was fined $35

Oratory Runs to
Cliches at Demo
Convention
By SAUL PETT
LOS ANGELES. UP)—It is clear
who won individual honors at the
opening session of the Democratic
national convention.
To Paul Ziffern, chairman of
the California convention commit
tee, went the distinction of being
the first orator to refer to “the
last syllable of recorded time.”
This occurred at 6:18 p.m. He
also became the first speaker to
mention “our rendezvous with
destiny,” a phrase which hasn’t
failed the Democrats in 27 years.
Paul M. Butler, retiring nation
al chairman, was the first to the
wire with “the whole world is
watching us” and “peace is our
business.”
Butler also was the only speak
er of the evening to excite ap
plause with a promise of non
appearances in the future. He got
the hand by saying, “This is the
last time I shall address you as
national chairman.”
In his 5‘A-year term, Butler
has proved one of the most con
troversial party chairmen of the
century, a fact referred to with
something less than obliqueness.
He said “If the National Commit
tee has taken a stand on issues, it
has not taken a stand on men.”
He denied again Harry Truman’s
charge by insisting the convention
has had “no rigging whatsoever.”
Butler won other honors. He
was the first speaker to mention
Franklin D. Roosevelt, and he
easily ran off with the Oscar for
the best alliteration by blasting
the enemy for “eight years of
golfing and goofing.”
Gov. Edmund Brown of Cali
fornia was the first to declare,
“We are here to nominate the
next President of the United
States’” — a statement Of hope
likely to be repeated 86 times be
fore the week is out.
The Oscar for the most literal
gestures of the evening went
without contest to Frank Church,
35, the youngest member of the
United States Senate and conven
tion keynoter. In his blue suit and
white shirt and carefully timed
pauses and studied modulations
and memorized speech, he re
minded many of a promising prep
school orator.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY PLATFORM
By OVID A. MARTIN
LOS ANGELES, WWA political
blueprint for “restoring our na
tional strength — military, politi
cal, economic and moral,” was
spread before the Democratic
national convention Tuesday.
In typical something-for-every
body fashion, the party platform
ranged for 15,000 words over a
broad spectrum of foreign and
domestic issues.
Top items were civil rights at
home and Communist aggression
abroad.
Rep. from Chicken
Would Let Capital
‘Set’ At Juneau
CHICKEN, Git—Chicken is still
stewing over the proposal to move
Alaska’s capital.
State Rep. Bob McComb, lead
ing citizen of this Taylor Highway
community, said today he is
against moving the state capital.
“But if voters decide to move
it, Chicken is where it should
come to roost.”
McCombe said that nearly 2,000
state employes and their fami
lies would have difficulty finding
room to live in the Anchorage
area.
“In Chicken, where there is
plenty of space, they wouldn’t feel
so cooped up,” he stated.
McCombe estimated that it will
cost 50 million dollars to move
the capital. But he said that the
voters could go ahead and move
it if they think 50 million dollars
is chicken feed.
However, McCombe said that
Chicken is not trying to pick on
Juneau.
“I will argue in favor of leaving
the capital where it is if some
body will egg me on,” McCombe
said.
Addressing itself to Soviet rul
ers it said:
"We confidently accept your
challenge to competition in every
field of human endeavor.”
On national defense, the plat
form pledged a recasting of this
nation's military capacity, “in or
der to provide forces and weap
ons of a diversity, balance, and
mobility sufficient in quantity
and quality to deter both limited
and general aggression.”
“We pledge our will, energies,
and resources to oppose Commun
ist aggression,” it said.
“Our objective, however,” it
said, “is not the right to co-exist
in armed camps on the same pla
net with totalitarian ideologies; it
is the creation of an enduring
peace in which the universal val
ues of human dignity, truth, and
justice under law are finally se
cured for all men everywhere.”
The platform promised creation
of a national peace agency to plan
and coordinate activities directed
toward international arms con
trol and eventual establishment of
a stable peace.
