Warming Up
46r\UR STRENGTH IS GREATER thaP theirs,”
Vr said Khrushchev to the first Congress of the
Hungarian Workers Party to be held since the shame
ful abandonment of the freedom fighters by the free
world. “Our armaments are better. Our rockets are
on the moon; theirs have fallen in the sea.” It is a
strange contest indeed, between the world leaders of
slavery and freedom. Like all Americans, we hope
the President’s trip advances our common dream of
“peace and friendship with freedom.”
Alaskans should, from every part of the state,
and through every organization available, advance
and continue to promote the project'of warming up
Siberia and Alaska with the proposed Bering Sea dam.
This would bring the focal point of international in
terest down to earth again, and the millions spent
shooting at the moon could be partially donated for
improving conditions for us mortals on good old Earth.
Right now, a milder climate, created by a Bering
Sea dam, would do much to warm uip the feeling
between the biggest state in the Union and the
eastern sector of the Russian held territory. A com
mon cause on earth might be the means of easing
tensions, and exemplify the true meaning of the
United Nations edict: “While nations are talking
together, they will not be at war.”
GRASSROOTS OPINION
From the Antigo, Wisconsin, Journal: “Although the
Committee on National Education Policies originally
• rejected a resolution advocating the use of force, when
needed, to maintain classroom discipline, the Amer
ican Federation of Teachers has now given its
approval. The teachers said, however, that force was
not a desirable thing in itself. They said it just
sometimes could not be avoided.”

U. S. Supreme
Court Accepts Case
For ’59 Fish Traps
WASHINGTON, (if* — The Su
preme Court yesterday agreed to
hear appeals filed by three Alas
ka villages in a dispute with the
State of Alaska over the use of
fish traps to catch salmon.
The villages — Kake, Angoon
and Metlakatla — appealed to the
high tribunal after the U. S. Dis
trict Court in Juneau rejected
their arguments for use of fish
traps.
Alaska banned such traps on
the ground they prevent salmon
from going upstream to spawn
and thus deplete the future fish
supply.
Counsel for the villages in a
July apearance before Justice
Brennan argued that under the
Alaska Statehood Act the federal
government retained control over
fishing until next January 1.
Counsel for the state replied that
the U. S. Secretary of the Interior
did not have authority to permit
use of traps. Brennan in a re
straining order issued July 11 per
mitted the villages to use traps
in the season that ended August
24.
Appeals by the villages to the
full court contended, the case
raised issues of vital importance
to • the future federal-state rela
tionships in the field of control
of fish and wildlife and in the
field of Indian welfare.
Attorney General John Rader
in a reply brief asked the high
tribunal to dismiss the appeal. He
said the passage of time had made
the case moot — that is, that it
no longer contained a live legal
issue.
The 1959 fishing season has
ended, Rader’s petition said, and
all issues of interpretation, con
stitutionality, rights, and regula
tions by the Interior Secretary
that permitted using certain fish
traps for 1959, are now moot.
Mitchell Urges
Steel Negotiators
Submit to Arbiter
WASHINGTON, Iff! — Secretary
of Labor James P. Mitchell yes
terday urged steel labor and man
agement to submit their long dis
pute to some third party, pos
sibly the government, for solution.
Mitchell told a news conference
the time has come for the industry
and the United Steelworkers
Union to consider seriously seek
ing recommendations from a fact
finding group or from the govern
ment itself.
He recommended that both sides
voluntarily agree to let either a
fact-finding board or the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Serv
ice make recommendations for a
settlement.
A third method, he said, would
be for the parties to agree to sub
mit their dispute to binding arbi
tration, or the decision of an
outsider.

Ike in Pakistan
Tells Americans to
Wipe Out Hatreds
By JOHN SCALI
KARACHI, Pakistan, —Pres
cient Eisenhower, speaking to a
crowd reflecting this nation’s pov
erty, yesterday called upon all na
tional leaders “worthy of the
name” to join in an enforceable
system of disarmament.
But he made it plain both the
United States and Pakistan are
determined to be strong so that
“we may be in a better position
confidently and effectively to
search out paths to world peace
with justice.”
Backing up this theme, Eisen
hower and Pakistan’s President
Mohammed Ayuk Khan in a joint
declaration urged non-Communist
countries to maintain their defense
alliances as a bulwark against
Communism.
Winding up his second day
here, Eisenhower was acclaimed
by Pakistanis on all sides, and
hailed by the Pakistani President
as one of the world’s greatest
champions of peace.
Eisenhower started out his
event-filled day by appealing to
Americans everywhere to wipe out
all prejudices as a contribution to
peace. He spoke to U. S. Embassy
employes.
He witnessed a cricket match
and a breathtaking display of
spectacular Pakistani horseman
ship. |
Observing Pakistani tradition he
put on covers for his shoes be- •
fore placing a lily wreath on the
tomb of Pakistani’s founder, Mo
hamed Ali Kinnah.
He and Ayuk Khan whisked
over the city in a U. S. Marine
Corps helicopter to look over a
Pakistani rehabilitation center for
refugees.
His speech to a citizen’s recep
tion at thb polo field adjacent to
the Presidential palace was a
major one, and the highlight of
his 40-hour stay in Pakistan.
About 15,000 Pakistanis — some
in rags — squatted in the sun to
hear him.
“We are now in the nuclear
age. No scientific discovery itself
is evil. It becomes evil only when
devoted by unworthy men to
wicked purposes,” he said.
“The world — the enti’-e world
— must insist that the conference
table, rather than force be used
for the settlement of international
disputes. Every national leader
worthy of the name must partici
pate in this effort.”
Eisenhower was interrupted re
peatedly during his address by the
excited Pakistanis, most of whom
obviously did not understand En
glish. They broke in repeatedly
with cheers. When he finished, a
translator repeated the speech in
Urdu.

spiring against the regime of

Young and Cuban Fernando
Bartot, 24, a former Columbia
University student, were each
sentenced to 30 years imprison
ment and Lambton to 20 years.
The prosecution had asked death
for Bertot and a 30-year sentence
for Lambton.
