RUSK BEGINS TALKS
WITH NATO LEADERS
PARIS W — U.S. Secretary of
State Dean Rusk today began a
round of consultations with North
Atlantic Treaty Organization mili
tary and political leaders after a
meeting with French President
Charles De Gaulle that made no
real progress toward smoothing
differences between France and
the United States.
Rusk arrived in Paris on Tues
day for the first stop on a West
European tour to shore up the unity
of NATO. American sources said
his initial talk with De Gaulle
was animated, friendly and search
ing but that it didn’t budge the
French leader.
Rusk met first today with Gen.
Lauris Norstad, NATO Supreme
Commander, and then talked with
Ambassador Thomas Finletter, the
permanent UJS. representative of
the 15-nation NATO council. T
There was bo immediate indi
cation of the substance' of their
talks.
REINDEER MEAT PRODUCTION
GREATER THAN BEEF & PORK

meat production in Alaska last
year was reported to be greater

of every American citizen to ac
cept the final decisions of our
courts. I do so in that spirit, but
assure my family and friends that
I have never knowingly violated
income tax or any other law.”
He stressed that he was “found
guilty, not of tax evasion, but on
two counts under indictments for
failure to make correct reports for
a non-taxpaying organization
covering the years 1950 and 1952.”
The organization was the Joint
Council of Teamsters Building
Fund. Beck said that although he
was its non-salaried president the
press of business as head of the
international union made it im
posible for him to pay attention
to details of the fund operation.
He said the reports were compiled
and filed by the bookkeeper and
he (Beck) never saw or signed
them.
He said “this entire procedure
has brought great sorrow, in parti
cular to my 93-year-old mother,
my sister and her family, and to
my son.”
“My wife and I were married
for more than 43 years, but I am
happy she is not with me today.”
Beck’s wife died last November.
U.S. FLYING HERO DIES
IN FOUR-PLANE CRASH
COLOGNE, Germany W) — An
American flying hero and three
West German Air Force pilots
were killed Tuesday in the colli
sion of four super-sonic jet fight
ers.
The four planes, U.S.-built F-104
Starfighters, were flying a tight,
low-level formation in rehearsal
for an air show when they col
lided and crashed about 10 miles
southwest of Cologne.
An eyewitness said the planes
were flying in box formation. The
top pair collided and dropped onto
the lower two. They were too low
for the pilots to bail out. ;-.<„%■
The American victim was Capt.
Jon G. Speer, 29, of Los Angeles,
one of a group of US. Air Force
instructors with the West German
Air Force.
Speer was about to be awarded
the Air Medal for landing another
F-104 safely two months ago after
a lightning bolt had smashed the
plane’s nose and knocked out 90
per cent of its controls.

FAIR SKIES DOMINATE
MOST OF THE STATE
By The Associated Press
Fair skies continued to dominate
most areas of Alaska again today
as a ridge of high pressure re
mained stationary over Alaska’s
western coast.
The only sections of the State
not included within the fair weath
er pattern were the North Gulf
Coast, the Southeast Panhandle and
the Aleutians.
There were some patches of low
clouds over Kotzebue Sound and
fog over Cook Inlet, however. The
central and western Aleutians had
low cloudiness, rain and fog, while
clouds blanketed the North Gulf
Coast and the Panhandle.
The outlook for the State for
the next few days is more of the
same, with little evidence to indi- j
cate a significant change in the
current weather pattern.
Overnight temperatures ranged
from a low of 35 at Barrow to a
high of 61 at Bethel. The high yes
terday was 86 at Fairbanks and
McGrath.
AIR FORCE BRINGS DOWN
HIGH ALTITUDE BALLOON
WASHINGTON W — The Air
Force Tuesday brought down a
high altitude research balloon after
a record 19-day flight which carried
it 9,300 miles from Bermuda to
near Iwo Jima.
It announced the balloon, loaded
with instruments but without crew
men, was brought down by radio
command sent out from a ground
station at Chico, Calif.
The flight, at a constant altitude
of 68,000 feet, eclipsed the previous
10-day record of another balloon
in the same series a month ago,
-the Air Force said.
The super-pressure balloon, 34
feet in diameter, was kept under
constant radio tracking from the!
time it was launched at Kindley
Air Force Base, Bermuda on May
31.
i. he payload included devices for
measuring wind direction and
velocity, humidity, pressure and
temperature.
