A DREAM WALKING
Japanese Interested In Resources
'IV'K'.k BHX. who has been appointed chairman of the Regional
x * l:\port 1 -\pansion Council, has through the Chamber of Com
merce expressed an interest in encouraging Japanese participation
in the development of the natural resources of Northwestern
Alaska.
The prompt reply received by Mr. Bez from Tataunosuke
Takasaki, Japanese leader, is another step in the right direction
which should be encouraged.
We quote from Mr. Takasaki’s letter: "I have long desired
to build up greater commercial and economic relations between
Alaska and Japan; and I shall be very happy to do all I can to
advance this object if you will kindly send me information on
Alaska's natural resources, both dormant and at immediate com
mand. As the distance bteween Nome and Hokkaido Island of
f. Japan is about the same as that between Nome and Seattle, it
j is quite natural that Japan should look to Alaska for raw materials
C she needs.”
It is now' up to the people of this area to create a cooperative
economic atmosphere to encourage the interest shown. Roads,
r harbor and adequate power will be important in this development.
Congress Approves
JFK's Request ior $100
Million In U.N. Bonds
WASHINGTON UP! — The Sen
ate gave final congressional ap
proval today to President Ken
nedy’s request for authority to buy
up to S100 million in United Na
tions bonds.
The measure was sent to the
White House when the Senate ac
cepted, by voice vote, the Hous<
version of a measure which Ken
nedy had put on his “must” legis
lative program.
Under it, the President may lenc
the U.N. up to SI00 million, or buy
up to half of a S200 million U.N
bond issue.
The bill carries House restric
tions limiting U.S. purchases of the
2 per cent U.N. bonds, repayable
over a period of 25 years, to match
ing the purchases of all other
member nations.
So far 17 other nations have
bought $27,500,000 f the bonds and
26 other have pledged purchases
of $45 million more.
DANGER!
Anyone placing signs on power
and telephone poles — please re
move — these are dangerous and
a hazard to linemen.

the administration as the heart of
the bill.
This West European area, with
its rapidly rising standard of liv
ing, is envisioned as a vast new
field for sales of American con
\ sumer goods.
1 These are the major provisions
■ of the bill:
' j A five-year extension of the Re
ciprocal Trade Law to June 30,
him. the longest extension in the
28-year-old history of the law.
A new 50 per cent general tariff
i cutting authority, making a total
ot 90 per cent that duties could
have been slashed since the first
law passed under former Secre
tary of State Cordell Hull’s aus
1 pices.
Power to negotiate for the com
plete elimination of duties on items
for which the United States and
the Common Market account foi
80 per cent of world trade.
A broad new program of ad
justment assistance for industries
and workers harmed by imports
including weekly allowances foi
jobless employes which would b(
much higher than regular unem
ployment compensation.
The authority to cut tariffs tc
zero and the adjustment assistance
provisions are features of trade
legislation never enacted before.

Mike Slcpovich of
j ••Phony Issues’"
JUNEAU t/P* — Gov. Wm. Egan
Tuesday accused Republican guber
natorial candidate Alike Stepovich
of raising a host ol' “phony issues”
in bis campaign to unseat Egan as
tiie state’s chief executive.
Speaking before some 100 dele
gates to the 1002 Convention of
the Alaska State Federation of
Labor, Egan said the real issue is
“whether we are going to regress
to those dark days when responsi
Uility for decision was divided up
10 different ways. . .”
Egan said "our opponets are try
in \ to say we are going broke.
Vet, last week I received . . . an
accurate accounting of our fi
nances, which mows that in the
fiscal rear that ended June JO,
1902. Alaska had an unobligated
buLnce. available for future use,
of more than $24 million.
The Republicans charge “with
'"ovror,” K an said, that millions
| in oil r.var y is going into the
general fund.
ye time feu* A! iskans to
I go into the general fund, where
I the law says it must go.
“Use t at mourn for roads,
. ei oo’s. fishenes rehabilitation and
otin r important programs, our op
ponents say. Cm. teat's exactly
what we are doing. . .”
Egan saai SIonovich and other
Republican candidates are also
making “phony claims” that the
job climate in Alaska is poor and
j that business activity is off, when
j tire facts, he -aid, prove otherwise.
I The Republican party platform
adopted at the GOP convention
in Anchorage last weekend, Egan
said, would lead Alaska "back to
that costly, inefficient, unrespon
sive wasteland we have crossed,”
of administration by boards and
agencies.
"Wo have broken the back of
that type of Alaska government,”
Egan said. "We have placed re
sponsibility where it belongs, in
the hands of an administrator who
must answer to the public.
"We have avoided the path takeh
by political cowards — where re
sponsibility for decisions is lost
in a tangled land of boards, agen
cies, committees and absentee ad
ministrators.”
The governor again challenged
Stepovich to a series of public de
bates prior to the Nov. 6 general
election.
U.S. Rep. Ralph Rivers, in his
speech Monday, said Lowell
Thomas Jr. does not have the
knowledge, as a resident of Alaska
. for less than three years, to repre
sent the state adequately in Wash
( ington.
“I submit to you,” Rivers said,
“that Alaskans worked too long
to become a state in order to get
voting representation in Congress
to afford turning the congress
man’s seat over to a novice. . .
“Let me ask you how a man of
short acquaintance with Alaska
’ and without previous experience in
government at any level could ade
quately cope with the multiplicity
. of human and economic and legal
and legislative problems which
face our new state during these
L key years of transition from terri
toriality to well-founded state
hood.”

Tunnel Through Alps
Links Italy and France
ENTREVES, Italy — The Pre
miers of France and Italy Satur
day officially opened the new Mont
Blanc highway tunned, whose
roadway will link their nations
through the Alps in 1964.
Amintore Fanfani of Italy and
George Pompidou of France met
at Chamonix, near the French
mouth of the 7.2 mile tunnel, and
traveled the passageway together
by rail and auto to the Italian
opening at this village near Cour
mayeur.
The actual breakthrough was
Aug. 14 when an explosive charge
ripped apart the last 10 feet of
rock separating France and Italy
deep beneath Europe’s tallest peak.
The tunnel builders expect the
roadway, ventilating and lighting
systems, customs houses and other
facilities to be finished and ready
for traffic by August 1964.
