Air Force Secretary Not
Surprised That Russians
Have Hydrogen Weapons
DETROIT, —Air Force Sec
retary Donald A. Quarles says
"we are technically ahead of the
Soviets” in development of guid
ed missiles and that the United
States is "putting top priority on
the development of such weap
ons.”
Quarles told a news conference
Monday that he was not surprised
by Nikita Khrushchev’s declara
tion in England that the Russians
soon will have hydrogen - bomb
guided missiles that can hit any
point in the world.
“It all depends,” Quarles said,
on Khrushchev’s definition of
"soon” or a “short time.”
“It probably comes down to
translating the Russian,” Quarles
said.
“In a matter of time the Rus
sians will have such weapons,”
he added with an aside that sim
ilar announcements had been
made in the past by Marshal
Zhukov and others.

Measles Epidemic Sweeps !
Village of Nondalton
ANCHORAGE, Ufi-—A two-year
old child died yesterday from
complications resulting from a
measles epidemic now sweeping
the village of Nondalton, 200 miles
southwest of here.
Jack McFarland, Nondalton
school teacher, who accompanied
the boy here, said about 50 of the
village’s 140 residents have been
hit by the measles wave. Some of
those stricken are adults, he said.
The village is without a doctor,
nurse or any medical aid to com
bat the epidemic.
Ralph Real, who worked here
i for many years with the Lomen
! Commercial Co., is reported to be
| with John Bullock this season on
i his Yutana Barge Lines on a lease
! from the Alaska Railroad and
serving the Lower Yukon area for
the second season. The crews are
now reported preparing for the
season at Nenana.
The human race is adding to its
numbers the equivalent of a good
sized town, more than 90,000 peo
ple, every day of the year.

Newspaper Publishers
Face Increased Costs
And Declining Profits
NEW YORK. OP)—How to cope
with increased costs and yet pro
duce better newspapers were the
chief topics of discussion at the
opening of the 70th annual con
vention of the American News
paper Publishers Assn.
More than 1,200 editors and
publishers are attending the
three-day convention in the Wal
dorf Astoria Hotel.
Richard W. Slocum, of the I
Philadelphia Bulletin, ANPA
president, told a discussion group:
“The American press has served
the nation well but etoch week
brings new and increasing prob
lems.”
He said the cost of doing busi
ness continues an upward climb
while the profit column “neces
sary to a sound future,” shows a
declining trend.
“Each week,” he said, “shows
more acutely the need for insti- (
tuting every possible economy .
and short cut conducive to con- I
tinuing to publish a good news- |
paper and to serve the public—
and that is what newspapers are
for.”
