cover deficiencies incurred dur

It will have to appropriate
funds for its own expenses, in
cluding salary and per diem for
its lawmaking members.
And none of the presently es
timated costs include any estima
tion for the establishment of a
State court system.
General fund revenues for the
first full fiscal year as a state is
estimated at more than 28Vfe mil
lion dollars.
In addition, the biennium is ex
pected to end with a 4V£ million
dollar surplus in the general fund.
Another four million dollars is
expected to be available for the
State school fund from various
sources — and this amount could
be much larger than now ex
pected. Much of the increase is
looked for in Alaska’s share of
mineral lease revenue, with some
forecasts placing this figure at
more than 10 million dollars.
About five million dollars in
anticipated income will be ear
marked for special purposes and
will go directly into such accounts
as the Highway Fund, Sick and
Disabled Fishermen’s Fund, and
others.
Regardless, some heavy slicing
is expected in the budget re
quests already presented to the
Budget Office of the Department
of Finance.
Freer is expected to make some
cuts, after hearings with officials
of the various agencies .The Gov
ernor elected likely will sit in on
some of the hearings.
The governor also probably will
make further reductions before
submitting the appropriation bill
to the Legislature.
Here, in brief, are the major
budget requests already on the
book — and the amount appro
priated last biennium for the var

Dulles Accuses Reds
Of Promiscuous Killng
WASHINGTON, UP) — Secretary
of State Dulles accused Red China
yesterday of “promiscuous kill
ing, primarily of civilians, with its
sporadic shelling of Quemoy.
Dulles also told a news confer
ence that Russia’s sudden rejec
tion of a proposed one-year sus
pension of atomic tests may be
due to discovery by Moscow that
it is considerably behind the
United States in nuclear weapons
techniques.
Russia’s attitude, he said, “dims
the chances of success” of test
ban negotiations opening at Ge
neva Friday.
The United States, however, is
willing to go through with the
suspension of testing if the Rus
sians do not explode nuclear de
vices after Friday.

Top Soviet Scientists Awarded Nobel
Science Prize For Sputnik III Work
By GUSTAVE SVENSON
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, UP —
Three Soviet scientists won the
1958 Nobel Prize in physics yester
day for building a better atomic
mousetrap.
One of their traps — a cosmic
ray counter — is now circling the
globe in Sputnik I. Others are in
nuclear laboratories around the
world.
The winners are P. A. Cheren
kov, I. M. Frank and Igor E.
Tamm, all Moscow professors.
They were cited jointly by the
Royal Swedish Academy “for the
discovery and interpretation of the
Cherenkov effect,” the basis of a
novel cosmic ray counter.
The 1958 Chemistry Prize was
awarded to Dr. Frederick Sanger,
40-year-old British biochemist, for
pioneer work on the molecular
structure of insulin.
Remaining to be awarded this
year are the prizes for medicine
and physiology and the Nobel
Peace Prize.
The award to the Russian scien
tists posed a dilemma for Soviet
leaders angered by the award last
week of the 1958 Nobel Prize in
Literature to another Russian,
NIGERIA PROMISED
INDEPENDENCE IN 1960
LONDON, C5t — Nigeria has
Britain’s promise of full indepen
dence on October 1, 1960. The
agreement on freedom for Africa’s
biggest Negro territory was an
nounced Monday night. Nigeria,
a 75,000-mile West African terri
tory of 5 million poeple, is Bri
tain’s largest colonial holding.
— Stack Heaters At Cavota's —
poet-novelist Boris Pasternak.
The dilemma is this:
Pasternak is the author of “Doc
tor Zhivago,” a novel critical of
Communism. Never published in
the Soviet Union, it is a best
seller in the West. The Soviet
press has demanded that Paster
nak reject the award and his $41,
420 cash prize. The Red line is
that Nobel authorities were moti
vated toy politics and named him
“in the interests of fanning the
cold war.” Only yesterday, the
Russians announced expulsion of
Pasternak from the Soviet Writers
Union.
On the other hand, Cherenkov,
Frank and Tamm have long been
rated among the elite of Russian
atomic science. They are the first
Soviet nuclear scientists ever to
receive a Nobel citation. And the
Kremlin likes recognition of So
viet scientific achievements. A cry
of politics in this case would be
out of character. But could the
scientists go to Stockholm to col
lect their $41,420 December 12
if Pasternak is kept at home?
Atomic counters based on the
Cherenkov effect are used today
in laboratories all over the world
to check on the behvior aof high
energy particles.
They supply precise information
on the particles’ charges, velocity
and direction. That is just what
the counter does in Sputnik III.
