Soviets Fire Rockets
Into Pacific Test Area
MOSCOW ePi — The Soviet
Union announced tonight it had
carried out two days of successful
7,500 mile rocket shots into the
Pacific.
One of the two impact areas in
the Pacific was declared tempor
arily open again to ships and
planes. The announcement indi
cated that the area, near the Mar
shall Islands, would be closed again
later. The Russians had asked ships
and planes to stay clear of the area
beginning Wednesday.
The announcement did not say
how many rockets had been fired
nor did it state where they had
been launched.
It was presumed that further
tests would continue with shots
aimed at the second impact area
near the Hawaiian Islands.

MOROCCO WINS SECURITY
COUNCIL SEAT OVER NIGERIA
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. W —
The General Assembly today
elected Morocco to a seat on the
Security Council over Nigeria and
thus turned back a bid by black
African nations to kill the 1946
“gentleman’s agreement” on alloc
ation of seats.
The decisive vote on the second
ballot was 73 to 35—one more
than the required two-thirds ma
jority. Morocco was elected to suc
ceed the United Arab Republic,
thus upholding the tradition that
an Arab or Middle East country
should retain the council seat at
issue.
FRANCE WANTS TO BUY
A NUCLEAR SUBMARINE
WASHINGTON L'P — France is
negotiating with the United States
to buy a nuclear-powered sub
marine, informed sources report.
The submarine would be of the
Nautilus class, the first of the
atomic submarines, which does not
carry Polaris missiles, the sources
said yesterday.
There was no official confirma
tion of reports of the sale negoti
ated. The State Department, the
Pentagon and the White House
declined comment.

K(‘iint*(ly Will
.Meet \\ itli Soviet
Minister Gromyko
WASHINGTON W — President
Kennedy will meet Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko here
Thursday in an apparent personal
move to try to convince Moscow
that a new Berlin crisis could set
off nuclear war.
The White House announced to
day that the chief executive and
Premier Khrushchev’s top diplo
mat will confer here at 4 p.m. It
is expected that Gromyko will re
turn to Moscow and report to
Khrushchev shortly afterward.
One question which may come
up is whether a Kennedy-Khrush
chev conference in the next month
or so would be desirable. There has
been persistent speculation due to
various comments made by
Khrushchev that the Soviet leader
would like a meeting with the
Gromyko took the initiative for
the meeting with Kennedy; the
President and Secretary of State
Dean Rusk decided it would be a
good thing from the U S. point of
view for for the two men to talk.
They see evidence, officials said,
that Khrushchev persists in mis
understanding the United States
position on Berlin.
Kennedy, it is understood, wants
to emphasize to Gromyko that the
United States congressional elec
tions Nov. 6 will make no differ
ence in the President's Berlin
stand.
Khrushchev said weeks ago that
he saw no prospect for useful talks
on Berlin until after the U.S. elec
tions. He implied that he thought
Kennedy might then be more will
ing to reach a compromise settle
ment.
Kennedy has ruled out any com
-iromise whatever on the Western
nilitary position in Berlin.
Khrushchev has also said other
hings that worry administration
officials. For example he told poet
Robert Frost that the United States
was too liberal to fight. This sug
gests that he thinks the United
States can be bluffed into con
cessions.
This kind of Khrushchev atti
tude is a major reason why Ken
nedy and his aides are said to feel
the world faces the prospect of a
major Berlin crisis probably be
ginning in late November.

Stepovich Says Egan
Broke Promises to
Alaska's Native Citizens
SITKA i/P — Mike Stepovich !
told the Conventions of the Alaska !
Native Brotherhood and Alaska
Native Sisterhood today the pre
sent state administration has a rec
ord of broken promises to Alaska’s
native citizens.
Stepovich, Republican candidate
for governer, said the administra
of Democratic Wm. A. Egan failed,
as promised, to provide money to
move Coast Guard buildings at
Saxman, nurses for the villages of
Southeast AlaskA or funds for a
road across Prince of Wales Island.
. Stepovich told the two native
groups that the present school
at Hydaburg is still in use even
though it has been condemned by
both the State Fire Marshal and
the State Division of Public Health.
Democrats in the last legislature,
Stepovich said, refused to let a bill
which would have helped Hyda- j
burg build a new school come out ;
of committee because the measure j
was introduced by Republicans.
The GOP candidate also said j
that, as governor, he would take |
immediate steps to help the Tlingit !
and Haida tribes settle their na- |
tive land claims with the federal
government.
Stepovich pledged, if elected, to
improve the health standards in
the villages, to work for better
educational and job opportunities !
for native citizens and to make it
easier for natives to obtain per- |
sonal use fishing permits.

If all of the passenger ami !
freight cars along with the diesel j
locomotives used on the Canadian \
National, which is North Amer
ica’s largest railroad, were assem
bled end to end, the rolling slock
would form an unbroken line from
Boston to Chicago—1,018 miles—
and a line longer than from Hali
fax on Nova Scotia's Atlantic '
Coast to Kingston on Lake On- |
tario.
The Canadian National, which
serves all ten Canadian Provinces
and reaches into 12 of the United
States, has 20,089 miles of main I
track mileage—exceeding the dis- |
tance around the earth at tlm
equator by 1,187 miles.
With an additional 8,879 miles
of secondary track yards, siding
and spurs to serve industry, the
big Canadian Railroad has grand
total mileage of 34,968 miles along '
with 7,000 bridges and more than
5,000 stations ranging from flag
stop ; to immense and complicated
electronic yards and terminals.
The CN, which has it own tele
communications company, truck
ing and bus operations and ferry j
boats and cruise ships, also owns
ten hotels across Canada. And the |
Company operates in six distinct
time zones; Newfoundland, At- !
lantic, Eastern, Central, Moun- :
tain and Pacific. FNS !
Leiler To
The EdStor
Three small female forms sat
hunched in agonized self conscious
ness on the cold hard bench. One
sat a bit straighter and a bit. to
one side; a reward for being a
property tax payer. Guilty little
thoughts passed through the vic
tims’ minds as they shyly cocked
an ear to hear how the “Big Bad"
Councilmen and “Bigger and Bad
der" Mayor were proposing to
spend their money.
A few weeks ago these same
benches were loaded . . . but now
the benches have been emptied.
Where were all those irate citizens
nervously waiting their turn to
explain that their assessments
were set too high. Was this only
for the purpose of advancing their
own self interest? Where were
all the voters that rose up at the
last election because of known
facts and many doubts that the
money we appropriated was not
being used as it should be and
could be used. Where were the
men of the city who are suppose
to understand finance, budgets and
big business? The three females
pulled up their coat collars a bit
higher. They were ashamed that
they had become so old-fashioned
as they want to take a part in
their self government.
This lack of effort on the part
of the taxpayer and voter is hard
to explain. Is it possible that they
have lost all intention to econo
mize and all desire to have a bud
get balanced? Next year when the
public comes clamoring, “Where
is the Tax cut you promised us
in 1962? Why did our city spend
so much of our tax money?’’ The
three pitiful females do not de
sire to be the ones who have to
say, “Were you there Charlie?”
So the moral of this story is: De
spite the fact that our City Hall
contains a fabulous array of un
comfortable chairs and benches,
there is no methodical and organ
ized method for educating the
Nome taxpayer concerning their
existence and the lessons that can
be learned in them.

Plumber’s Helper
Will Leave Chimnev
Capers to Santa Claus
NEW YORK W — William Hau
ser, a 25-vear-old plumber’s helper,
is ready to leave the chimney
caper to Santa Claus. He found it
brought him only a coating of soot,
minor burns and a burglarly
charge.
Detectives said Hauser was on a
non-Santa Clausian mission taking,
rather than giving, when he got
stuck in the exhaust flue of the
Bunny Hug Luncheonette early
Friday. He had dropped his
clothing in first.
Luncheonette owner Arthur
Barr noticed that P>e flue wasn’t
working when he opened for busi
ness and after 23/2 hours of grilling
and frying he found out why when
he heard a distant voice echo: “Get
me outa here. I’m burning up.”
Police found Hauser stuck in
(he flue, his clothing resting in an
elbow of the pipe.
In Saudi Arabia, where slavery
is still legal, a choice young girl
slave sells for nearly $1,200, a
strong young man goes for about
$600 and an old woman “good
only for watching goats,” fetches
$’50 or less.
