An Alternate Airfield . . .
THAT NOME’S AIRFIELD should be extended so
that it could be an alternate for Fairbanks and
Anchorage during weather when jets cannot land at
either was the challenging statement made by Sen.
Pearse Walsh at the Chamber meeting Tuesday. He
related 'how jet passengers bound for Fairbanks and
Anchorage covered some 8,000 miles in the round trip
to Alaska and back to Seattle because both jet fields
were fogged in while Nome was clear. With more and
more jets, both American and foreign, flying in Alaska
this alternate should be made available as soon' as pos
sible for both safety and economic reasons.
Walsh also called attention to a statement by
Gen. Curtis LeMay of adequate defenses and remarked
how during the cold weather these past two weeks any
thing could have happened in this part of Alaska, as
Fairbanks and Anchorage and Galena fields were
closed, but the Nome area was open to flying.
Many fingers have pointed toward the weakness
in the defenses of Alaska, and this is but another truth
exposing a danger zone. Should war begin, it could be
in the winter and it could be during a cold spell. What
a nice time undesired visitors could have getting set
tled on the coast and all the king’s horses and all the
king’s men couldn’t undo the harm, both actual and
psychological, this would cause. .
Military strength on the coast of Northwestern
Alaska is protection for ALL of America.
Just a Rumor . . .
SKATTLE UP> — “That’s the
damnedest thing I ever heard
of,” laughed former Alaska Gov.
B. Frank Heintzleman yesterday
when told of a Juneau rumor he
had suffered a stroke.
“I never felt better in my life.”
The rumor apparently resulted
from a mixup in an account of
an illness by a sister of Heintzle
man in the Pennsylvania.
The 73-year-old one-time Alas
ka Governor said he was stop
ping here briefly for a routine
medical examination and planned
to leave Saturday for Ketchikan
for the start of the March of
Dimes campaign.
Heintzleman, who heads the
program in the 49th State, will
make a series of appearances in
various Alaska cities for the
March of Dimes ending in An
chorage and Fairbanks.
India Wants Foreigners
Off Their Land
PATNA, India UPl — The an
nual meeting of India’s ruling
congress party opened yesterday
with a warning that Chinese
Communists and Pakistanis must
follow the Portuguese off Indian
soil.
Party President Neelam Sanjiva
Reddy was loudly cheered when
he declared India is determined
to end their occupation of Indian
territory within a short time.
Turning to Prime Minister
Nehru, the party head, Sanjiva
Reddy said the entire nation 'is
behind the government in what
ever steps it takes to regain In
dian territory.
Here’s positive proof this is a
prosperous country: Americans
now pass a billion dollars in bum
checks yearly. No other nation in
history could make this claim.
Gov. Egan
Protests Proposed
Freight Rate Hike
By Alaska Steam
JUNEAU MB *— Gov. Wm. Egan
said Thursday he plans to protest
freight rate increases proposed by
the Alaska Steamship Co. and
the Trans-Pacific Freight Con
ference (TPFC) of Japan.
Egan said the Federal Maritime
Commission will be asked to sus
pend the proposed Alaska Steam
increase.
By protesting the TPFC rate
increase, Egan would automati
cally touch off a suspension of
the proposed new tariffs for a
period of up to 180 days.
In announcing that he will pro
test the proposed Alaska Steam
increase, Egan said the FMC has
not yet decided whether it will
permit permanent imposition of
a 10 per cent freight rate increase
proposed by Alaska Steam in De
cember, 1959.
“With the Commission still not
having decided justification of
this earlier increase,” Egan said,
“it will be the state’s position that
it is presumptious of Alaska Steam
to propose still a further increase
at this time.1’
Alaska Steam proposed to:
Boost rates on items moving
between Seattle and points on the
Alaska Peninsula, Bristol Bay,
Bethel, Norton Sound and Kotze
bue by 10 per cent.
Increase the rate on cans, ear
tons and salt moving from Seat
tle to all Alaska points by 20
per cent;
Increase the rates on canned
fish moving from Alaska to Wash
ington ports or Astoria, Ore., by
10 per cent.
The new TPFC tariffs provide
that rates between Alaska and
Japan be set 10 per cent above
rates applying to shipments be
tween Japan and other Pacific
Coast ports, except for cement,
pipe, fertilizer and steel and iron
products delivered at Anchorage.
The TPFC previously has
charged 30 per cent more for
Alaska-Japan shipments than for
shipments between Japan and
other Pacific Coast ports.
Egan said he felt that any dif
ferential could not be justified in
view of the shorter distances in
volved in Orient-Alaska freight
shipments.

June Ally son and
Dick Powell Reconcile
HOLLYWOOD m — “You just
can’t break up after 15 years,”
said actor-producer Dick Powell.
The entertainer was explaining
to newsmen Wednesday that it’s
no secret that he and his wife,
actress June Allyson, have long
since reconciled.
Miss Allyson, 38, was granted
| an interlocutory divorce degree
last Jan. 31 after she charged
extreme cruelty and testified
Powell, 57, was “always tied up
with business.”
Powell said the couple soon will
file briefs to set aside the decree.
California law requires a one
year waiting period before a final
decree is granted.
Powell said they have the same
home and have been appearing
in public together for several
months, since Miss Allyson suf
fered a throat ailment. The de
minutive actress has fully re
covered after two operations,
Powell said.
Miss Allyson commented: “It
was a divorce that never should
have been. Besides both of us
realized we had made a horrible
mistake — that we loved each
other. It was the children who
brought us together again. Both
Pamela, 13, and Rickie, 12, kept
telling us we were both idiots.
Dick and I finally got the mes
sage.”
NEGRO SPECTATORS ATTEND
LEGISLATURE FOR 1ST TIME
JACKSON, Miss, m — Negro
and white spectators sat together
in the gallery for the first time
in years while Gov. Ross Barnett
addressed the newly convened
Mississippi Legislature.
Seven Negroes, including key
integrationists, took gallery seats
Wednesday shortly before the
Governor’s speech. Surprised offi
cials held a hurried conference,
then decided to let them stay.
Help Wanted . . .
WINSTED, Conn. OR — It was
hard to tell Wednesday night who
needed help most — the people
who called for a fire truck or the
deputy fire chief who tried to
respond.
The deputy chief, Theodore
Vaill. publisher of the Winsted
Evening Citizen, received the call
and went to the fire station to take
a fire truck to a smoke-filled
home.
But he remained a prisoner at
the fire house. A latch on the
overhead door jammed — and
even his fire axe wouldn’t budge
it.
Vaill then asked headquarters
to turn in a general alarm.
Most of Winsted’s 130 volun
teers responded — some to the
fire house to rescue the deputy
chief and truck, others to the
home full of smoke.
All ended well. Vaill was freed.
The smoke in the home was
caused only by burning food. No
body hurt, and no damage done.
