‘Great Land’ Honored Tomorrow
All of Alaska joins together tomorrow to. commem
orate Alaska Day, the one day of the year which belongs
solely to Alaskans.
On Oct. 18, 88 years ago, the Government of the
United States paid to Russia two cents an acre for the
territory, but it took a gold stampede and a stateside
depression to really start Alaska on its way to becoming
one of the “great lands” of the world.
Its challenge, its freedom, its wide open spaces and
never-ending wonders have been envied by peoples of
all other countries.
When the Constitutional Convention is history and
the constitution ratified by the people and statehood
is attained, Alaska will take its place in these United
States as the richest and most self-sustaining state in
the Union.
Norway Protests Over
Panama Whaling Tycoon
Taking Illegal Catch
PANAMA, (By—A Panamanian
foreign officer said Saturday a
Norwegian charge that Aristotle
Onassis’ whaling fleet has taken
a whaling catch worth millions is
under study.
This government is concerned
because ships of the Greek-born
shipping tycoon fly the Panama
flag. The Foreign Office said a re
ply will be made to the Interna
tional Whaling Commission and
the Norwegian government.
A Norwegian Foreign Office
spokesman asserted Tuesday that
the Onassis’ fleet during the last
five seasons exceeded quotas set
by the international commission
by 216,555 barrels of whale oil
valued at $8,680,000.
A Panamanian inspector aboard
one of Onassis' ships termed Nor
way’s charge ridiculous.
He said the real reason behind
the complaint is that Norway is
concerned over competition with
its own whaling industry.

Russia Invited
To Join World
Airline Group
NEW YORK, itf)—The incoming
and outgoing presidents of the
International Air Transport Assn,
today invited Communist Russia
to enter the world airline organi
zation.
The invitations came from Juan
Trippe, president of Pan Ameri
can World Airways, the new chief
of IATA, and from the retiring
president, Max Hymans, president
of Air France.
But their welcome was tem
pered by a reminder from Chair
man Ross Rizley of the U.S. Civil
Aeronautics Board to the airlines
that only their governments can
permit their expansion along the
Iron Curtain airways.
Rizley acted as official spokes
man for the United States.
Trippe said although the Czech
oslavakian and Polish airlines
long have been members of IATA,
“Aeroflot,” the Soviet national
airline, “should also be sitting
with us at the conference table.”
“An early application by Aero
flot for admission to IATA would
be timely and convincing evidence
on the part of the Soviet leaders
that they really are willing to lift,
for tourist travel, the Iron Curtain
which has so long separated the
peoples of the West anc^, the Com
munist world.” •
Labor Leader
Tells Benefits
Of Automation
WASHINGTON, tflV—President
Walter Reuther of the CIO said
today automation can bring “a
four-day week, longer vacation
periods, opportunities for early
retirement, as well as a vast in
crease in our material standards
of living.”
But he said careful social plan
ning and proper controls will be
needed if the changeover is to be
made “without first having to pay
| a heavy price in unemployment
and human suffering.”
Reuther’s testimony was pre
pared for a Senate-House econom
ic subcommittee as it continued
hearings on the effects of automa
tion—the growing use of automat
ic machines for complicated fac
tory processes.
He said a gradual reduction of
the work week to 30 or 35 hours
and a rapid increase in consumer
buying power are needed as
“cushions” to absorb the workers
who would be replaced by the
new machines.
As other parts of an eight-point
program, he proposed earlier re
tirement under social security;
improved social welfare services;
loans and other aids to small busi
ness; retraining of workers whose
jobs were eliminated; aid to com
munities affected; and pricing pol
icies which would help consumers
enjoy the increased production.

I Demo and GOP National Chairmen
Give Contrasting Views in Debate
By the Associated Press
Praise and criticism both show
ered on the Eisenhower Adminis
tration record Friday as party
leaders rolled along toward the
1956 election campaign.
Republican National Chairman
Leonard W. Hall and Democratic
National Chairman Paul M. Butler
gave their contrasting views in an
hour-long, nationally radiocast de
bate at a Chicago meeting of the
Illinois Chamber of Commerce.
Said Butler:
“Nearly everybody now agrees
that all the (Eisenhower Adminis
tration) peace publicity brought
about a premature letdown among
the Western powers” following
last summer’s summit conference
at Geneva, “with the result that
the Russians have turned Geneva
into a Communist success. . . .
This whole huckster approach is
damaging our world position.”
Said Hall:
“President Eisenhower upon
taking office “recognized immedi
ately that Communism was a
world menace” and took steps
against it. Soon after he went to
Korea “the Korean War came to
an end. I think that is a tremen
dous accomplishment. They (the
American public) like this peace
with prosperity.”
Butler: The Eisenhower Admin
istration “with its Cabinet made
up solely of representatives of
super big business” favors the in
terests of big business.
Hall: “The Cabinet under Presi
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower rep
resents all 160 million Ameri
cans.”
Postmaster Generaf Summer
field sounded his praise of the
GOP record at a $100-a-plate state
Republican fund-raising gathering
at Oklahoma City. His recital
ranged from “we have ended the
war in Korea” to “we have re
stored confidence in our national
government.”
Summerfield called on grass
roots Republicans to shoulder
more responsibility in next year’s
presidential campaign. “We must
divest ourselves of the last, linger
ing shreds of the attitude: ‘Let Ike
do it’,” he said. He made no refer
ence to Eisenhower’s illness or
prospects for seeking reelection
next year.
