We’re a Little Ashamed
EACH YEAR when the snow leaves the ground, the community
takes a look at the city cemetery at Belmont Point and talks
about doing something to beautify it. Then summer comes and
the project is forgotten.
Sitka Spruce was recently made the State Tree and the Boy
Scouts in Juneau made a project of obtaining seedlings for trans
planting of a hundred of these at Adak and two hundred at
Unalaska.
Spruce, which has been planted on some of the graves are
growing, as this area appears to be unfrozen. What a wonderful
project it woud be if some organization would undertake to
obtain these seedlings from the Regional Forester's Office and
plant diem on the avenue which goes through the cemetery.
This would be a beautifying attraction for all people coming and
going from the airport to enjoy.
Another project which everyone knows must be started is a
recording of the burials in the city fiies. It is a sad day when
people find they do not know where their loved ones are buried,
apd this is happening at the Belmont Point Cemetery.
Start next year ? No, start this year !

Sen. Goldwater Says
&OP Mail Rung
Vgainst JFK’s
Health Care Plan
By Jack Bell
WASHINGTON — Congres
sional Republicans have reported
their mail is running substantially
against President Kennedy’s plan
to finance health care for the
elderly through social security
Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona,
who heads the Republican Sen
atorial Campaign Committee, said
that a daily check of mail to GOP
Senate and House members since
Kennedy appeared on national tele
vision and radio a week ago in
support of his plan has provided
some surprises.
"The mail from New York to
Republican members has been 3 to
1 against the Kennedy plan,”
Goldwater said. “Even more sur
prising, the ratio m California is
5 to 1 against it.”
Sen. Jacob Javits, (R-N.Y.), is
sponsoring a modified version of
Kennedy’s social security financing
plan. California has been regarded
by the Republicans as an area
where the Kennedy plan might be
popular.
Goldwater said that, contrary to
Republican expectations, the re
sponse to Kennedy’s appearance
has not been heavy. He said the
largest total number of letters re
ceived by any Republican member
up to the weekend was 240 by Sen.
Homer Capehart of Indiana. The
bulk of these oppose Kennedy’s
plan.
The program Kennedy supports
is embodied in the King-Anderson
Bill, now before the House Ways
and Means Committee. It would
provide hospital, nursing and home
therapy care for persons over 65
who are covered by social security
or railway retirement benefits.
Response to Kennedy’s address
was reported to have been disap
pointing to the White House. Ken ;
nedy himself discounted the signi- j
ficance of the mail he is receiving. I
CAB to Hold Hearings
On Alaska Air Service Sept. 18
WASHINGTON iff) — Hearings
have been set tentatively for Sept.
18 on a Civil Aeronautics Board
proposal to revise the air service
pattern between Alaska and other
Pacific Northwest states.
Examiner William J. Madden did
not specify a place for the hear
ing, saying it “will be held in such
locations as to best accommodate
the carrier parties and cities, and
will be announced later.”
In ordering the hearing, the
board said large subsidies are in
volved in Alaska air service and
that an uneconomic multiple car
rier situation exists. It proposed
modifications that would result in
either a two-carrier or three-car
rier system.
The airlines primarily involved
are Alaska Airlines Inc., Northwest
Airlines Inc., Pacific Northern Air
lines Inc., and Pan American World
Airways Inc.

KENNEDY SPENDS THE DAY
\T HIS COUNTRY RETREAT |
MIDDLEBURG, Va. m — Presi
lent Kennedy switched plans again
today and decided to spend all of
Memorial Day at his country re- ;
treat near Middleburg. He will fly
[>ack to Washington by helicopter
tomorrow morning.
An aide said the chief executive
had determined that there was no
pressing reason that required his
return to the capital this afternoon.
Kennedy’s original plan has been
to stay until tomorrow. No specific
reason was given, and Kennedy
had no appointments. Now he has
reverted to his original plan for a
Thursday return after observing
his 45th birthday and the holiday
at leisure at his country home.
His first formal White House ap
pointment is at noon tomorrow,
when he receives a cabinet com
mitte report on juvenile delin
quency and youth crime.
OVERSEAS STOCK MARKETS
BOUNCE BACK STRONGLY
NEW YORK UR — The New
York Stock Market as well as
other financial and commodity
markets in the United States are
closed for the Memorial Day holi
day. But stock exchanges over
seas bounced back strongly today
in the wake of Wall Street’s re
covery yesterday. The buying
boom rocketed some stocks even
higher than before the Wall Street
slump.
In London, brokers described
the recovery as fantastic. In Am
sterdam, Paris and Frankfurt,
many of the stock losses in yester
day’s almost panicky selling were
erased.
Commenting on the decline and
rise of the New York Stock Market,
the official Soviet news agency,
Tass said: “Panic selling, mostly
by petty capitalists, knocked down
prices.’’
