Between The Old And The New
FAST JETS NOW FLY regularly from Los Angeles
to Paris in ten hours, or over the Pole from
. Anchorage, to Norway on such regular schedules that
it is commonplace. Yet in the transportation picture,
there are still places that exist without any means
of travel except dog team in the winter time.
Alaska has made great strides in air transpor
tation because of its complete lack of roads in the less
populated areas, but there are a few places which
have been completely left out, and remain isolated
villages. Among these is Savoonga, with a pppulation
of more than 300 persons, which can be reached only
by a IP-hour dog team trip, which is only for the
hardy. There are two airfields on St. Lawrence
Island, it is true which makes it possible for large
planes to bring supplies and mail from the mainland,
'but absolutely nothing at Savoonga, which is a long
established village.
A petition signed by every adult, asking for a
small field, should receive early consideration.
A generation ago, it was not uncommon to lash
an injured or very sick person to a sled for the 15
hour trip, to get medical aid, but in this day, it is
not humane to allow such suffering, when an airstrip
could make it possible for planes to land when needed,
or on a schedule.
Local civic groups should support this isolated com
munity’s plea for a modern contact with the rest of
the world.
Rider Limiting
Primary Costs
Fought in Senate
WASHINGTON, UP) — Efforts
to limit primary campaign spend
ing as part of a clean elections
bill ran into strong opposition
yesterday from Republican and
southern Democratic senators.
Inclusion of primaries has
been proposed as an amendment
to a bill which would require
fuller reports of campaign financ
ing and increase legal spending
ceilings for candidates and poli
tical committees. Present law, and
the ^>ill as drawn, apply only to
general election campaigns.
Senator Richard Russell (D-Ga)
said the amendment is opposed
bv all the southern senators and
also, he believes, by more than
half of the Republican senators.
He said he couldn’t conceive
of a majority of the senators
voting for it.
Senator Carl T. Curtis (R
Neb), top GOP member of the
committee that handled the bill,
said that he is opposed to the
amendment and that so is Senator
Everett Dirksen of Illinois, the
Senate Republican Leader.
The amendment to make the
measure apply to primaries and
nominating conventions was of
fered by Senators Thomas Hen
nings Jr. (D-Mo) and Kenneth
Keating (R-NY).
They urged its approval on the
ground that in about a third of
the states victory in the primaries
amounts to election.

Khrushchev Outlines Russian Defense
Plans: Rockets Take Place of Bombers
By STANLEY JOHNSON
MOSCOW, Wl — Premier Nikita
Khrushchev said yesterday the
Soviet Union has such powerful
weapons it can discharge one of
every three men in its armed
forces in the next year or so.
In a three-hour speech to the
Supreme Soviet the premier
painted a picture of great
strength.
The Soviet army has fire power
that no other army ever has pos
sessed, he said. Rockets are tak
ing the place of bombers and the
production of bombers will cease.
Production of industrial and
consumer goods, together with
labor productivity, increased last
year more than the current seven
year plan called for, he declared,
adding the United States is no
longer the world’s leading mili
tary power. International tensions
are lessening, and agreements are
possible at the May summit meet
ing in Paris, the premier said.
Khrushchev told the Supreme
Soviet, or parliament, that Soviet
armed forces are currently at
3,624,000, down from a high of
11 million *in wartime and nearly
six million in the 1949-55 period.
Now, he said, plans are for a
cut to 2,423,000 men.
Western experts last spring fig
ured the Soviet Union and her
European satellites had 3,200,000
men under arms, as compared
with 3,365,000 in the United
States and its allies of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The premier said his govern
ment is able to cut its armed
forces without hurting its defense
potential because of the strength
of its nuclear weapons including
rockets and missiles.
“We have a powerful rocket
technique; the air force and the
fleet have already lost their pre
vious importance. We have al
ready decreased the production of
bombers and will stop it alto
gether. Our military aviation will
be almost entirely rockets,” he
said.
The Soviet Premier assailed
President Eisenhower’s decision
to end the U.S. moratorium on
nuclear weapon tests.
“In the existing situation, if
one country resumed tests, it
would be followed by other states
possessing nuclear weapons,’’ he
warned.
“The country which resumes
tests first will thus assume grave
responsibility,” he added.

I Kennedy May.
| Leave Wisconsin to
Demo. Rivals
By JACK BELL
BOSTON, (ffl — Indications
that Senator John F. Kennedv
(D-Mass) may sidestep the Anril
6 Wisconsin primary boosted to
day the candidacy of Senator
Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn) for
the Democratic Presidential nom
ination.
Kennedy had been figured as
an almost sure contestant in Wis
consin. Otherwise his challenge to
all the other Democratic Presi
dential hopefuls to meet him in
state primaries seemed likely to
collapse.
But Robert Kennedv told a
news conference in Manchester,
N. H., Wednesday he thinks his
brother should stay out of the
Wisconsin battling.
Robert Kennedv, who is plug
ging his brother’s unoDposed can
didacy in the March 8 New
Hampshire primary, said he
thinks Wisconsin is Humphrey’s
backyard.
“It would be an unfair test,’’
he said.
This selectivity seemed to can
cel out the effect of Kennedy’s
challenge to. Senator Stuart Sym
ington fD-Mo), Lyndon B. John
son (D-Tex), and others to meet
him in primaries for a showdown
on the popularity of individual
candidates.
Symington and Johnson are
staying out of primaries on the
grounds that these voting tests
represent only fragmentary senti
ment and do not materially in
fluence the choice of the Presi
dential nominee.
If Kennedy follows his broth
er’s advice to stay out of Wis
consin, Humphrey would seem to
be assured of a convention run for
the nomination. With Minnesota,
Wisconsin, South Dakota and
stray delegates elsewhere, he
would likely go into the Los An
geles convention in July with
more than 100 votes.
Humphrey has been what some
politicians call a transitional
candidate. It was generally recog
nized that if he could not beat
Kennedy in Wisconsin he would
retire from the Presidential field
and get busy on the job of get
ting reelected to the Senate in
.Minnesota.
ROCKY CAN'T COMPLAIN
CONCORD, N. H., Iff) — Despite
New York Governor Nelson
Rockefeller’s withdrawal, a third
candidate has filed for delegate
favorable to him for the Repub
lican Presidential nomination.
The latest pro-Rockefeller can
didacy was filed yesterday by
David D. Hewitt, a former state
senator, who is editor and pub
lisher of the weekly Hanover
Gazette.
Rockefeller can’t do anything
about Hewitt’s action. Under New
Hampshire law, the Governor is
powerless to prevent anyone from
running favorable to him. If a
delegate sought to run pledged,
Rockefeller’s assent would be
required.
