Three U.S. U-2 P>anes
Will Operate In Britain
LONDON UP) — Three U.S. U-2
planes will fly into Britain to
operate from a British base, caus
ing some protests.
: j An Air Ministry announcement
1 Friday night said they will carry
• out atmospheric sampling and high
^ altitude weather research.
It was in a U-2 plane that Capt.
Francis Gary Powers was downed
■ in the Soviet Union two years ago
—an incident that caused an inter
national crisis and wrecked the
Paris summit conference.
The U-2s will be unarmed and
will operate over international
waters of the North Atlantic, the
Air Ministry said.
This will be a continuation of a
series of flights inaugurated by
U.S. authorities in 1958 to collect
samples and determine the con
centration of radioactive debris
spread into the stratosphere by nu
clear tests.
British observers speculated that
samples collected by the U-2s might
provides clues on how near the
| Soviets are to the anti-missile
missile, about which its military

Sen. Bartlett l rges
Public Land Laws
In Alaska He the
Same as Lower lo
WASHINGTON .V -- Sen. E. L
Bartlett proposed Thursday that
Congress make operation of public
land laws in Alaska the same at
that in other states.
lie told a Senate Interior Sub
committee the action is needec
especially by Barrow and Wain
wright, which are located on the
j Arctic coast and within a Navy
! Petroleum Reserve.
| Bartlett said the proposal woulc
j allow the disposal of surface right:
in public land suitable for town
site development while reserving
to the government all minera
rights.
He added that special adminis
trative procedures — previously
j used in California — would perrni
' the Navy to release to the Interim
I Department land desired for set
j tlement to a depth of 250 feet, hold
1 ing under Naval control land be
j low that depth.
j Speaking of the two Alaskar
j villages, Bartlett said:
j “The two communities have Ion*
been settled — settled in fact be
fore it was ever imagined that ;
petroleum reserve would be ere
ated in this area.
“The people in these communi
ties have never had an opportunity
to own the land upon which theii
homes are built. As a result they
have not had freedom to sell the
lands, use as security for home
j construction, or enjoy any of the
other advantages of ownership.
“This situation will continue in
definitely unless Congress eithei
enacts special legislation for th<
villagers or approves this bill
which would enable them to qualif;
for townsite tracts under existin;
law.”
Bartlett said he had been as
surecl that the proposal has m
bearing on the question of abori
ginal rights among the Eskim<
people. But he added:
“A day must soon come wher
the question of aboriginal rights it
Alaska are given the fullest at
| tention by Congress. The delay
j which has attended the establish
j merit of Alaska native rights ha;
j been unjust. . . ”

| ECONO? ?K STATISTICS
EXERT INCREASING
EFFECT ON BUSINESS
BY SAM DAWSON
AP Business News Analyst
NEW YORK — Economic’
j statistics arc fascinating a growing
I number of people these days. The
, next recession when and if will
arrive after a flow of publicity
| will be the envy of every Broad
| way press agent.
i Pouring forth in ever greater
volume from electronic computers,
figures fashion the thinking and
. planning of businessmen, help set
wage scales, send customers to the
stores or keep them away, influ
1 cnee the setting of interest rates,
: determine stock trading decisions.
The making of charts has long
; been a preoccupation of many
I j stock traders. They buy or soil
I when the figures reach a prede
. ! termined point called a break
through and seem to indicate a
trend. An even if the bull or bear
. market doesn’t materialize as the
charts suggested, the number of
trades acting upon the signals they
give will have an immediate, if
passing, effect on current stock
prices.
As economic statistics multiply
r and more economists study them
for hints of future trends, business
men pay more heed. Now the pub
. lie is taking up the practice. News
papers and magazines are full of
forecasts based on the trends that
some see in the statistics.
Congress is urged to react to
them, or to wait for them. Consu
mer psychology is affected by the
, i figures themselves, when once it
, I followed actual personal experi
Just as buying or selling by
. chart followers can influence the
, stock market, so studying of econ
omic statistics and acting on such
r guidelines may bring on a trend
r or accentuate it.
At least, that seems to be the
. view of William M. Martin, Fed
, oral Reserve Board chairman. In
. telling the House-Senate Economic
j Committee why he t! inks another
recession may be far from certain
, or imminent, he said.
, “I sometimes wonder if we have
not become overly sensitive to
cyclical indicators. We read, watch,
study and talk about them so much
that we may have become like
, medical students who acquire each
disease as they read about its
symptoms in their textbooks.”
Martin was discussing the re
liance placed by many of late on
the so-called leading indicators
among business statistics. These
include such things as stock prices,
the average work week in manu
facturing, new orders for durable
goods, housing starts, corporate
profits.
But businessmen — and the
public — will go on watching the
statistics and drawing conclusions
from them. Many will do this who
don’t know how the figures are

Soviets Plan iNevv
Move on Berlin
BERLIN l/P) — Lack of news
I about Walter Ulbrichl. East German
i Communist leader, b.as brought
j speculation that he and Soviet Pre
! mier Khrushchev are working out
| some new move on Berlin.
Whatever the move might be, it
probably would bc bad news for
Berliners. Just the silence about
Ulbricht is enough to worry many
people.
Ulbricht and his No. 2 man. act
ing Premier Willi Stoph. flew to
the Soviet Union Aug. 1. Nobody
I said just where they were going.
! Khrushchev was known to be resF
| ing then on the shore of the Black
Sea.
I Since Aug. 4 there has been no
j word of Ulbriteh and Stoph's ac
j tivities.
j Authoritative predictions have
been heard that Khrushchev will
go to the United Nations General
Assembly meeting this fall. Specu
lation followed in Moscow that he
might sign a separate peace treaty
with Ulbriteh and then try to get
a U.N. approval.
The prevailing opinion in West
Berlin is that Khrushchev would
sign a treaty only after calling a
“peace conference.”
Last year also Ulbriteh made a
1 mid-summer trip to the Soviet
1 Union. Two weeks later the Com
munists closed the Berlin zonal
1 border and began building the wall.
Jacqueline lo Receive Rare Honor
! RAVELLO. Italy i/P)—Mrs. Jac
i queline Kennedy will become an
• honorary citizen of Ravello on
| Aug. 28, Mayor Lorenzo Mansi an
: nounced today.
He said the honor—a rare one—
; would be given to the American
i first lady because she chose Italy
j and particularly Ravello for her
| summer vacation.
I gathered, how much of a sampling
they are, how large their margin
for error. They will go on doing
this even after past forecasts have
I proved wrong.
And, of course, on many occa
sions the statistics followers will
turn out to be quite right.
