By Veteran Fire Fighter
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. tfl — A
wild oil well fire which has blazed
almost a week at a well in the
northern bushland was snuffed
out yesterday by Red Adair, de
scribed as the world’s foremost
oil well fireman.
Adair, flown to the site of the
blazing Blueberry' 23 Well from
Algiers by the Sun Oil Co., walk
eo into the flames clad in an as
bestos suit.
He chained down the “Christ
mas Tree” pipe apparatus at the
wellhead which had been loose
and leaking.
Then he simply turned a valve
which stopped the flow of oil
and gas from below and the
flames died away. The fire start
ed last Friday.
It was the second asbestos-suit
walk into the flames in as many
days for the barrel-chested Texan.
He took a first look at the blaze
belching from the well among a
maze of wellhead pipes Wednes
day.
One awe-struck roughneck who
witnessed the performance said:
“If Adair is sent to hell he won’t
burn.”

pleasant widow and presented her

the Army all I can do is pray for
the boys, if they need another
chaplain.”

JFK Will Name
Negro to Cabinet if
Agency Is Formed
WASHINGTON UP> — President
Kennedy says that if his proposal
for establishment of a new Ur
ban Affairs Department goes
through he’ll name a Negro to
his cabinet to head the agency.
The President told a news con
ference Wednesday the cabinet
post would got to Robert Weaver,
a Negro who now heads the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency.
Kennedy said he would con
tinue to push for establishment of
the Urban Affairs Department
despite a rebuff by the House
Rules Committee. It voted 9 to P
Wednesday to block the proposal
Under questioning during his
liveliest news conference in
months, Kennedy was:
Critical of the House Republi
can leadership.
Philosophic about the Senate in
vestigation of Pentagon speech
censoring.
Hopeful that: His tariff-cutting
proposals will escape a partisan
fight on Capitol Hill. His medical
care plan under Social Security
will come up for a congressional
headcount this year.
Kennedy also was unconven
tional in identifying Weaver as
the man he intends to appoint as
head of a department that doesn’t
yet exist. Weaver would be the
first Negro to serve in a cabinet.
His race is one of the controver
sial factors in a congressional dis
pute over Kennedy’s plan for the
new department.
Kennedy was critical—“some
what astonished”—of the House
Repi*bican leadership for opposing
the plan. All five Republicans in
the Rules Committee voted against
it, with four Democrats.
In a philosophic tone, Kennedy
said “coordination” and “guid
ance” on policy statements of
military men and government of
cials are valuable if the United
States is to address the world
“with force and strength.” He
was discussing charges, now the
subject of the Senate hearings,
that military figures have been
muzzled in speeches on such is
sues as the Communist menace.
Kerinedy was critical, at an
other point, of the 25-hour work
week provided in an agreement
between the International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers and
New York’s construction indus
try. He advocated a 40-hour work
week and benefits that reflect in
creases in productivity. The New
York contract, he said, meets
neither standard.
Eastern Nigeria must be the
world’s worst place to get a tooth4
ache. It has only five dentists
among its nine million people.

GOP Legislators Want
Time Off for Lincoln Day
JUNEAU </B — Senate Republi
cans asked the upper chamber
yesterday to defer action on major
bills on Feb. 11-12-13 so several
GOP members of the Senate
could keep Lincoln Day engage
ments in other cities.
Majority Democrats granted the
request, but only after a brief
flurry of good-natured debate on
what constituted major legisla
tion and wro should determme
what bills were major legisla
tion.
It was finally decided that the
Rules Committee should be the
arbiter, but not after Sen. Vance
Phillips, (R-Anchorage), nearly
broke up the session with the
comment:
“Let’s just say it’s a gentle
men’s agreement. In other words,
we just don’t want you to put
the knife in someone’s back.”
Bill Would Raise Maximum
Funeral Expenses to $1,000
Under Workmen's Comp
JUNEAU i/f) — The House yes
terday took note of the fact that
high cost of living has forced an
increase in the cost of dying.
A bill which would raise the
maximum funeral expenses al
lowed under the Workmen’s Com
pensation Act from $500 to $1,000
passed the House without, a dis
senting vote.
It was the first measure to re
ceive final action in the lower
chamber during the current leg
islative session

Bill Would Give Governor
Power to Appoint District
Attorneys to 4-Year Terms
JUNEAU UP) — District attor
neys for each of the State’s four
Judicial Districts would be ap
pointed by the Governor for
specific four-year terms under a
bill introduced Wednesday by
Rep. Warren Taylor, (D-Fair
banks).
Taylor said the bill, HB316, was
a companion measure to one,
HB289, he introduced on the
opening day of the session. The
first bill would reduce the De
partment of Public Safety to a
division within the Department of
Law.
The district attorneys would be
primarily responsible for law en
forcement within their districts
and would direct peace officers
in the performance of their duties.
Would Increase Per Diem
JUNEAU WP> — A bill which
would grant lawmakers represent
ing the Juneau area the same $35
per diem allotment as that re
ceived by other members of the
Legislature was introduced in the
House yesterday by Rep. Robert
Ditman.
The two Representatives and
one Senator from District 5 now
receive $25 per diem.
