Senate Committee Steps
Into Land Controversy
Between Alaska and BLM
.JUNEAU W) — The Senate Ap
propriations Committee Thursday
stepped into the land selection
controversy between Alaska and
the Bureau of Land Management,
Sen. E. L. Bartlett said.
In a wire to the Associated Press
from Washington, Bartlett said the
committee directed that each land
selection of the state receive an ex
terior boundary survey by the
BLM.
Bartlett said he had advised the
committee that the BLM has re
fused to accept in a number of in
stances land selection for separate
exterior surveys, but, instead, has
insisted on lumping selections into
one tract.
The BLM practice brought the
state’s land selection program to
a virtual halt.
In approving the Interior De
partment’s budget and a request by
Bartlett for an additional $300,000
for cadastral surveys in Alaska—
making a total of $1,950,000—the
committee said:
“It is the desire of the commit
tee that the Department of Interior
proceed as promptly as possible
with surveys in order that the time
limitations of the act admitting
Alaska to the union will be met.”
Under the Statehood Act, Con
gress gave Alaska the right to
make general land selections total
ing 102,550,000 acres within 25
years of Alaska’s admission to the
union.
Bartlett said the committee also
restored $2,650,000 to the Interior
Department budget for the con
struction of a North Pacific high
seas fisheries research vessel. The
House had cut the item in its ver
sion of the budget.
Bartlett said the committee sus
tained House allowances for con
struction of nine Bureau of Indian
Affairs schools in Alaska, and
$3 million in transitional grants
for Alaska.
Kremlin Bids Adieu to
Prime Minister Castro
MOSCOW UFi — With bearded
Fidel Castro at his side, Premier
Khrushchev warned the United
States Thursday at a huge Moscow
rally that any future crisis over
Cuba would be harder to solve than
the blockade crisis of 1962.
Castro declared when he took
the floor that “unprincipled people”
in the United States are trying
“to blackmail the present adminis
tration in Washington and bring
the Cuban people to an abyss.”
Khrushchev’s speech touched off
a wave of cheering in the big
Lenin Stadium, where 125,000
people gathered to bid farewell to
Castro. He flew secretly to the
Soviet Union April 20 to begin a
red carpet procession through the
country.
It was a circus scene in the sta
dium, with scores of thousands
wearing brightly colored paper
hats with Cuban emblems, waving
Cuban and Soviet flags and gulp
ing down barrels of soft drinks in
the blazing summer sun. They
roared so loud when Castro was
introduced that he was unable to
start speaking for several minutes.
Any sign that Castro might be
other than a new satellite of the
Soviet Union seemed to disappear
as the Cuban leader pleaded for
unty in the Communist camp.

Pope John Shows
Progressive Improvement
VATICAN CITY W — Pope
John XXIII continued to show
progressive improvement today
and did a bit of work before begin
ning a nine-day spiritual retreat,
Vatican officials said.
The officials said the condition
of the 81-year-old Roman Catholic
ruler was satisfactory and that he
clearly was showing a steady gain
of energy.
But the officials cautiously avoid
ed speaking of a complete recovery.
It was clear there still was con
cern he might suffer a relapse
again.
His illness — anemia and a
stomach disorder believed to be
an ulcer or cancer with hemor
rhaging — has been marked by
alternating periods of strength and
weakness.
The Pope’s health is causing con
cern for the future of the Vatican
Ecumenical Council which he re
gards as the climactic event of his
reign.
Worried clerical circles said that
if the Pope remains in poor
health, there is little chance the
council will resume on schedule
Sept. 8. Should he die, the great
assembly of bishops he launched
last fall would be suspended auto
matically until a successor de
cided whether to reconvene it or
to let it lapse.
The ailing Pontiff began a nine
day spiritual retreat, or novena,
today in preparation for Pentecost
Sunday June 2. Physicians hoped
the period of rest would help the
Pope regain his strength.
THIS IS NO BULL . . .
LAKELAND, Fla. UD — Mike
Tomkow’s bull broke out of its
pasture and started charging auto
mobiles on interstate Highway 4
a few miles north of Lakeland
Thursday.
The Sheriff’s Department sent
Deputy Bob Coker to the scene
with a rope and utility vehicle.
The bull charged the vehicle,
causing minor damage. Coker
managed to get a rope on the ani
mal, but the bull broke the rope
and continued charging.
Finally, Tomkow authorized the
deputy to shoot the bull.

Apprehend Canadian
Wanted for Robbery
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (tfl —
Rio police arrested Douglas John
Brown, an armored car driver
from Vancouver, B.C., charged by
Canadian authorities with theft of
$325,000.
Brown, 35, vanished after he
and another man picked up nearly
$550,000 from 48 supermarkets
Saturday night. His dissappearance
was not discovered until Tuesday,
the next time he was scheduled to
show up for work again.
The Loomis Armored Car Serv
ice said the other man was not
implicated in the theft and the
whole loss was covered by insur
ance. About $220,000 in non-ne
gotiable checks and $5,000 in cash
was recovered from a car aband
oned at the Vancouver Airport.
Brown was picked up shortly
afterward at the Miramar Hotel
on Copacabana Beach, where he
had been living since arriving in
Rio Monday.
Radio station CKNW in Vancou
ver said it talked with Rio police
chief Gustavo Borgus by telephone
and quoted him as saying Brown
would be deported Friday night.
The state said the chief told its
reporter Brown would be turned
over to U.S. Federal Bureau of In
vestigation agents in New York.
The broadcast did not say how
the FBI entered the picture. It
added Rio police said Brown had
$2,000 on him when arrested.
Canada, like the United States
has tried unsuccessfully to have
several persons accused of swindles
returned from this Latin American
nation.

Spring Frost Threatens
Crops in Western N.Y.
By the Associated Press
Upstate New York farmers
fought today with smudge pots,
bushel baskets and helicopters to
save their fruit and vegetable
crops worth more than $100 mil
lion from a late spring frost and
freeze that gripped the northeast
quadrant of the nation.
It was too early to gauge the
success of the overnight fight. An
industry spokesman said freezes
May 1 and 11 destroyed 15 to 20
per cent of New York state’s grape
crop. He said a general overnight
low below 20 degrees would wipe
out the $25 million crop in west
ern and central New York.
The temperature fell to a rec
ord 30 at Syracuse, one of the na
tion’s richest wine-grape regions.
Some western New York farm
ers hired helicopters at $100 an
hour to hover over their crops,
preventing frost from settling and
drawing down warmer air. Strawy
berry farmers resorted to smudge
pots, straw covering and evening
sprinkling with w'ater.
