Alaska Given
Preferred Status
For Airport Aid
WASHINGTON. WV-Chairman
Magnuson (D-Wash) of the Senate
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee said Saturday that
Alaska is being given preferred
status under the federal aid to
airports act approved Friday by
the House Interstate Commerce
Committee.
The problem of Alaska alloca
tion arose after statehood was
approved by Congress, and neces
sitated an amendment being
adopted by House committee,
Magnuson said.
He explained that as amended,
Alaska will continue to receive
airport allocation on a territorial
rather* than state basis. As a
territory, Alaska matches federal
grants on 25 per cent basis: As
a state. Alaska would have to
match on 37V& per cent basis.
Under the amendment to the
Magnuson - Monroney measure,
Alaska will receive $2,250,000 an
nually from the $95,000,000 an
nual federal aid to airport auth
orization program, Magnuson
said, and will continue to match
on a 25 per cent basis.
The measure increases the
federal aid to airport program
from $63,000,000 annually to
$95,000,000 each year through
fiscal 1963.
Nation Still Sizzles
From Hot Weather
Sizzling temperatures wilted a
large section of the west again
Saturday, but there was an al
most autumn-like tang in the air
across a stretch of the northeast.
While fair skies prevailed over
most of the country, afternoon
thunderstorms were indicated
throughout the gulf states and in
a more widely scattered pattern
in the upper Mississippi valley
and west of the Rockies.
Temperatures over 100 degrees
were common Friday afternoon
from the Dakotas westward into
Montana. Readings early Satur
day were still in the 80s over
much of tha| area. It was con
tinued hot in the southwestern
desert region.
Minot, N.D., reported an 87
degree early morning reading, and
Billings, Mont., registered 86 de
grees. The mercury shot up to
a scorching 105 degrees at Bis
mark, N.D., Friday afternoon,
highest since Aug. 7, 1949, when
it was also 105 there.
By contrast, it was 6 to 12 de
grees cooler than a day earlier
from the Great Lakes area east
ward across upper New York
state and Pennsylvania and into
England. Temperatures were in
the 50s and 60s.
The cooling was produced by a
pocket of Canadian air which
replaced the warm and humid
weather which had covered that
area most of the week.

Nautilus Heads
For England
WASHINGTON, W — The his
tory making U.S. atomic sub
marine ' Nautilus headed for
England Saturday and fresh
honors for its transpolar pioneer
ing voyage.
The White House gave out
word that the Nautilus and its
crew of 116 is proceeding slowly
from Icelandic waters to Port
land, England, for a visit from
Aug. 12-17. The vessel was about
midway between Iceland and
England at noon Saturday.
After charting the path for
possible future commerce under
the polar icecap, an epic four
day journey of 1,830 miles under
ice, the Nautilus steamed out of
cloud of secrecy into the full
glare of publicity.
Its skipper, Cmdr. W. R. An
derson, carrying official cita
tions for himself and his crew
from President Eisenhower, will
fly from this country to rejoin
the Nautilus for its triumphant
arrival at its first port of call in
England.
There, U.S. Ambassador John
Hay Whitney is to present the
unit citation officially to the Nau
tilus Crew.
The Nautilus 'toas due in Port
land, 100 miles southwest of Lon
don on the English Channel,
Tuesday.
White House press secretary
James C. Hagerty said Cmdr.
Anderson will arrive in England
in time to board the Nautilus
from a pilot boat and take her in
to Portland.
Ambassador Whitney is expec
ted to read the Presidential cita
tion at the port ceremony.
News of the submarine’s dra
matic feat—traveling from the
Pacific to the Atlantic to achieve
the long sought Northwest Pas
sage by going under the Arc
tic—was announced at a special
White House ceremony Friday.
President Eisenhower decorated
the submarine commander, who
was flown here especially for the
occasion. *
A British Naval source said the
journey “means that atomic
driven submarines could cross
from the north coast of the
American continent beneath the
ice to launch attacks on the
northern shore of the Soviet
Union.”
There was no immediate com
ment by the Russians.
Wants No ’’Hot” Dogs
DALLAS. <ff> — W. R. Fine, an
art dealer, built an air-conditioned
dog house for his collies. His
own home has no cooling system.
“If I get overheated I can al
ways go «to Alaska or take off
my shirt,” Fine said. “You ever
see a Collie take fof his shirt?”
