U. S. Pacific Commander
Gives Frank Appraisal
Of Soviet Sub Might
TOKYO, UP) — Admiral Harry
, D. Felt, commander of U. S. forces
in the Pacific, says the Soviet
Pacific fleet now has more than
100 submarines, but there is no
evidence any atomic-powered
submarines are among them.
Felt said the Soviet Union also
has been turning over submarines
to Red China, which is believed
to have about 20.
There is evidence, he added,
that the Soviet Union has guided -
missile submarines elsewhere.
There is no reason to believe
they couldn’t have one in the Pa
cific in the near future.
In other briefings at Pearl Har
bor, high, officers confirmed offi
cially for the first time that the
Soviet Union has been test-firing
missiles into the North Pacific
from bases in the interior of the
Asian mainland.
Such firings had been checked
by Navy reconnaissance planes
and “from the surface,” newsmen
were told.
There is no sign of bases for
combat missiles along the Asian
coast line as yet, the Navy spokes
men added.

Sets New Mark,
Casablanca to Tex.
LAS VEGAS, Nev., W — Flying
Grandpa Max Conrad took a well
deserved rest in this desert resort
today after flying a light plane
to a non-stop distance record
from North Africa to Texas.
Conrad, 56, landed Thursday at
El Paso, 6,911 miles from Casa
blanca, where he coaxed his gaS
heavy Piper Comanche into the
air more than two days before.
The 56-hour, 26-minute flight
in the little blue and white mono
plane was a record for planes
weighing under 3,900 pounds.
Then, after a bottle of pop and
a walk to shake out the kinks,
Conrad climbed back into his
plane and took off again — this
time for his home in San Fran
cisco. He landed shortly before
sundown at Las Vegas.
Conrad flew the same plane in
which he set a 7,668-mile record
for heavier aircraft last year
from North Africa to Los Angeles. J
On this flight, he replaced the
Comanche’s six-cylinder engine
with a four-cylinder model and
put it in a lighter class.
He took off from Casablanca
with 3.60 gallons of gas, and three
vacuum-sealed containers of cof
fee, tea and water, but no food.
During daylight hours, he. flew
at 100 feet or less and went up
to 150 feet at night.
He leaned the throttle back to
save gas and flew at about 130
miles an hour most of the way.

Nickname Important to
Sailor’s Union Candidate
PORTLAND, Ore., UP) — “No
body knows me,” said A. J. Na
horney, “without my nickname.”
He said it was a bitter blow
when the Sailors Union of the
Pacific ruled nicknames could not
be used on union election ballots.
Nahorney, 38, ran last year for
the office of Secretary-Treasurer,
hoping to unseat Morris Weisber
ger of San Francisco. Almost no
body voted for him, he said, be
cause they didn’t know who he
was.
“I’m a rank and filer -who is
tired of being pushed around,”
he said, explaining why he went
to court and put his nickname
into his legal name.
So this year against Weisber
ger on the SUP ballot is the name
he is certain all will know: A. J.
Packrat Nahorney.

Poll Reveals Much Promise for Youth
To Escape Fate of ‘Going to The Dogs’
Despite a tendency among
adults to think that youngsters
have “gone to the dogs,” re
sponses to a recent poll of com
munity leaders in Alaska indi
cates a belief that teen-agers are
more law - abiding now than 10
years ago.
Of 75 questionnaires returned
from 68 communities, 19 per cent
of those replying felt law observ
ance among young persons now is
better than a decade ago, while
only 16 pep cent felt it was worse.
No difference was seen by 61 per
cent of those answering, and 4 per
I cent had no opinion.
The question of juvenile delin
quency was one of 17 posed by
the Alaska Committee on Chil
dren and Youth named by Gov.
Egan to prepare for the State’s
participation in the White House
Conference on Children and
Youth to be held in the nation’s
capital in March.
The committee, co-chairmanned
by Dr. R. Rolland Armstrong of
Sheldon Jackson Junior College
i and Commissioner Paul L. Win
sor of the State Department of
Health and Welfare, filed its re
port with Gov. Egan in October.
Other members of the commit
tee included Ivor A. Schott, Ko
diak school superintendent; Stef
fen Anderson, mayor of Nome;
Miss Marion Larson, University of
Alaska; Larence Barrett, Juneau,
Alaska Boy Scout executive; and
O. M. Lien, U.S. Commissioner at
Ketchikan.
In summarizing its findings, the
Committee said:
“The problems of children and
youth, in Alaska’s more populous
communities seem to parallel
closely those of cities in any
other State — working parents,
‘unrealistic child labor laws,’ con
ditions which cause idleness to
lead to delinquency, lack of train
ed leadership, overcrowding in
schools in spite of the commun
ity’s efforts to keep pace with
the demand for new facilities.
“Some of the gains in the larger
communities also reflects the
trends of the times—more schools
offering more varied curricula,
greater church activities for fam
ilies and young people, more
varied recreational opportunities
under better supervision and bet
ter medical and dental care.”
The Committee said one of its
principal difficulties has been in
interesting citizens in its work.
