Mayor Brandt Will Not
Accept Khrushchev Offer
To ‘Guard' Free W. Berlin
BERLIN, UP) — Berlin’s Mayor
Willy Brandt rejected Soviet Pre
mier Khrushchev’s proposal to
station Soviet troops in West Ber
lin to help guarantee its indepen
dence as a free city.
Allied diplomats in Berlin also
were cool to the plan. One called
it a dangerous trap. Others said
it was unacceptable in its pres
ent form, but might be the basis
of negotiations.
Brandt told the city parliment
that the proposal for a Big Four
garrison in West Berlin would
merely serve to expand the So
viet area of occupation.
Khrushchev proposed Monday
night before an East Berlin rally
that either neutral troops or Big
Four troops be stationed in West
Berlin to guarantee free city
status.

Alaska Senate Approves
House Amendments To
State Courts Measure
JUNEAU, (#1—The Senate com
pleted legislative action Monday
on the bill to establish Alaska’s
first state courts.
Senators quickly approved tech
nical amendments offered by the
House and sent the measure to the
Governor.
In other action, the senators
second-guessed themselves con
cerning a bill to prohibit retail
merchants from serving as local
welfare agents.
The House bill was passed, 11-9,
at the morning session, but late
in the afternoon Sen. John McNees
moved to reconsider his earlier
vote and others backed him.
The bill already had been sent
to the House for transmittal to the
Governor, but was returned to the
upper chamber where the Senate
plans to give it another look. The
senators will consider an amend
ment which would permit the De
partment of Welfare, or its suc
cessor, to allow a retail merchant
to serve as a welfare agent under
certain circumstances.
Supporters of the amendment
say the bill as written would
eliminate many of the present 200
welfare agents who have been ful
filling their duties satisfactorily.

Rev. Wartes Happy At
News of Rescue
SEQUIM, Wash., UP) — No one
was happier than the Rev. William
Wartes at word a young Presby
terian flying missionary and his
Eskimo companion were safe
after a night in the frigid Arctic
wilderness.
The Rev. John Chamber ^suc
ceeded Rev. Wartes last July in
serving the vast far north parish
encompassing an area larger than
the New England States.
“I told John before I left that
if he ever ran into trouble in the
parish plane near Umiat to either
turn back or land — and not con
tinue on toward the Brooks Moun
tains,” Rev. Wartes said today.
“That’s dangerous country, par
ticularly at this time of the year,
when winds shift suddenly and
temperatures drop far below zero.”
Rev. Wartes, who spent seven
years in the Arctic and now occu
pies the pulpit in this little north
west Washington town, said he
felt confident all along that Cham
bers would “make it all right” if
the plane was not wrecked in the
emergency landing.
Wartes had flown the route
countless times in helping bring
Christianity to the Eskimo village
at Anaktuvuk. He went through a
number of similar experiences in
forced landings, either from wea
ther or mechanical troubles, and
during his services in the Arctic
was frequently referred to as “the
most lost man in America.”
Wade Promises A
Balanced State Budget
JUNEAU, Iff)—Acting Governor
Hugh Wade has promised a bal
anced budget for the first fiscal
year of the new state.
The Governor said Monday he
would send his executive budget
message and a general fund ap
propriation bill covering the rec
ommended expenditures to the
Legislature, probably Thursday.
Specific amounts were not dis
closed, but Wade said the budget
would be balanced.
Apparently this means the bud
get will be something less than
26 million dollars, the state’s es
timated income between'July 1,
1959, and June 30, 1960.
