A CALCULATED RISK
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THINGS
GENERAL JOHN MICHAELIS predicted in a re
cent speech in Anchorage that “the Arctic Ocean
is the new Mediterranean of the world. . . . here in
Alaska we are nose to nose with the cold war. I
don’t agree with those who say Alaska isn’t right in
the middle of things.”
Gen. Michaelis stands out among military lead
ers with many citations earned during the Korean
War. He is convinced that Alaska is strategic to the
defense of the free world.
It is heartening and encouraging to Alaskans to
find there are leaders stationed in Alaska who think
along the lines of the people who live here.
America aways fights a defensive war—some of
its defenses and its fences should be along the borders
of the northern part of the continent, not all set back
of the distant mountain range risking the mineral re
serves of North America as an invitation for attack.
As military leaders now based in Alaska return
to Washington, D.C., and the Pentagon maybe they
can paint a clearer picture of what it means to be
within shouting distance of Soviet Russia.

| Castro Attacks
Monroe Doctrine
In 3-Hour Tirade
| HAVANA, (#)— Prime Minister
Fidel Castro accused the United
States Tuesday of trying to take
its dispute with Cuba out of the
U N. Security Council’s hands and
put it before the Organization of
American States because it can
exert more pressure on the “vul
nerable” member nations of the
inter-American group.
Hoarse and haggard from his
recent siege of pneumonia, Castro
returned to TV with a wide
ranging three-hour blast in which
he called the new U.S. plan of
aid for Latin America a “half
billion-dollar bribery” designed
to “destroy the sympathies of the
Latin American people for the
Cuban revolution.”
Castro also took note of anti
communist outbursts at Roman
Catholic Church services in Ha
vana in the past two days. He
accused “privileged counterrevo
lutionary” elements of trying to
convert religious shrines into cen
ters of conspiracy and asserted
that part of the Catholic clergy
in Cuba is “pro-Franco, and Fal
angist and reactionary.”
During one scuffle between
Catholics and pro-Castro youths
Monday, an American woman
and her two sons were dragged
from a passing car. It was the
first known physical attack on
Americans here since Castro took
power.
Castro called the Monroe Doc
trine “ancient and worm-eaten”
and accused the United States of
using it to “assume the right of
piracy.”
Commenting on the recent wave
of defections by his ambassadors,
Castro accused the U.S. State De
partment of offering to pay off
Cuban diplomats if they aban
doned the revolutionary cause.
The victims of the mob action
were Mrs. Bertha Price, and her
sons Jeffrey, 18, and Richard, 14.

Sen. Barry Goldwater Says Same Ma jor
Issues, Freedom Versus Slavery, Faces
Americans Both at Home and Abroad
I
CHICAGO, iff) — Sen. Barry
Goldwater of Arizona said yes
terday the same major issues—
freedom versus slavery — faces
Americans both at home and
srtoy the nation abroad and advo
He said Communists would de
stroy the nation aboard and advo
cates of a totalitarian system
would destroy it from within.
Said Goldwater—
“There are those among us in
this nation, who cherish the false
notion that by accomodating the i
totalitarian doctrine of Commun
ism we can continue to maintain
the uneasy peace we have enjoyed
since the end of World War II.
There are those who, when con
fronted with the ultimate choice,
appear to prefer appeasement and
piecemeal surrender of the rights
and freedom of man.”
The senator, in a talk prepared
for the Republican Convention
Platform Committee, said the
party must maintain the most
powerful military position in the
world and be willing to use its
East Germany Party Head
Says He Has Allied War Plans
BERLIN, UP>—Communist party
head Walter Ulbricht exhibited
what he said were aggressive war
plans captured by his security
agents from U.S. and British of
ficers in East Germany.
He told a news conference that
maps, photographs and secret or
ders taken from members of the
American and British liaison mis
sions in East Germany showed
that an attack was planned.
Personal Income In U.S. Soars
WASHINGTON, i/Pt — Personal
income of Americans climbed to
a record rate of $405,750,000,000
a year last month. The increase
was a billion dollars over May.
The Commerce Department re
ported Monday that total wage
and salary payments rose by
about 300 million dollars in June
despite a decline in factory pay
rolls due to a slowdown in the
steel and automobile industries. |

erican citizens and to preserve
American property.
On the domestic front he said
the party must reject “the tactics
and practices of the spend-and
spend, elect-and-elect architects
of the New Deal and the Fair
Deal.”
He added—
“The people of this republic
have not demanded federal assist
ance and federal handouts.”
Welfare programs, he said have
been seized upon by ambitious
politicians after pressure groups
brought them to the fore.
He said these programs have
divided the American people —
set the young against the aged,
pitted the farmer against the con
sumer. arrayed the union mem
ber against the non - union mem
ber.
The difference between the
Democratic and Republican par
ties, Goldwater said, is that the
former has given allegiance to the
concept of the superstate, with
its far-reaching controls, while
the latter has followed the idea
I that it is the duty of the govern
i ment to help men help them
selves.
