Grueiiing Asks
Legislature’s
Support For
Rampart Dam
f
'
JUNEAU UP) — U.S. Sen. Ernest
Gruening asked the legislature Sat
urday to support Alaska’s congres
sional delegation in pressing for
construction of Rampart Dam.
In an address before a joint
session of the House and Senate,
Gruening said that construction of
Rampart on the Yukon River
would do much toward solving Al
aska’s economic problems after “92
years of colonialism.”
Gruening said that while the
congressional delegation had pres
sed for federal assistance for the
rehabilitation of Alaska’s salmon
fishery and the state’s ailing gold
mining industry, help for the
state’s economy must be sought in
other areas.
“I personally consider that the
most important contribution which
the federal government could
make to Alaska’s economy would
be the construction of Rampart
Dam.
“The coming of low cost power
would bring vast new industry to
Alaska which would develop the
resources which already are here.
“To this end, we need the sup
port of the legislature because
there is some oposition to Rampart
even in Alaska.”
Gruening said that construction
of the dam is feared by some con
servationists in connection with
salmon runs of the Yukon and the
flooding of waterfowl nesting
grounds.
Gruening also asked legislative
support for remedial action in
connection with Alaska’s air trans
portation problems.
“The Civil Aeronautics Board
has very little understanding of
Alaska’s needs,” he said.
“The CAB does not understand
that Alaska has very few high
ways and little passenger trans
portation, and depends very large
ly on air travel.
“And now that we have a thor
oughly satisfactory air service, the
CAB is determined to wreck that.”
He cited CAB suggestions that
Pan American Airways service to
Alaska be abolished, that North
west Airlines service be limited to
service to the Orient, and that Pa
cific Northern Airlines be com
bined with Alaska Airlines.
“This is a matter which an ap
propriate legislative committee
might look into,” he said.

Castro Against
Following Moscow
Line Too Closely
PARIS (if) — Prime Minister
Fidel Castro of Cuba was reported
to hold a low opinion of Com
munist party leaders in satellite
countries who slavishly follow the
Moscow line. He was quoted as
saying he had no intention of ac
cepting Soviet Premier Khrush
chev’s edict on abstract art.
Castro’s views were given in
an interview with Claude Julien,
correspondent of the newspaper
Le Monde. The newspaper pub
lished the second part of a two
part interview.
“What support did we get dur
ing the blockade last October
when we were on the edge of a
major conflict?” Castro was quoted
as asking. “Where were any big
mass demonstrations in our favor
noticed? What did the revolution
aries of Europe and Latin America
do?
“Only the Venezuelans reacted
then. But the big parties which
call themselves revolutionary did
not budge. They are not revolu
tionaries, but bureaucrats. They
are satellites.
“Each time Moscow makes a de
cision, whatever it is, the satellites
applaud all over the world.
Khrushchev withdraws his missiles
from Cuba without consulting us
and all the satellites cry ‘Khrush
chev has done very well for the
cause of peace.’ And when Khrush
chev, at the Moscow Exhibition
Hall, criticizes abstract art, the
satellites, here, ask me to forbid
abstract painting.
“And I tell them that our en
emies are capitalism and imperial
ism, and not abstract paints.”
In an interview published, the
paper quoted Castro as saying:
“I cannot approve Khrushchev’s
promising President Kennedy to
withdraw his missiles without the
slightest reference to the indispen
sable agreement of the Cuban gov
ernment. It is true that it was a
matter of Soviet missiles which
were beyond our direct control.
But they were on Cuban soil and
nothing should have been decided
without consulting us.”

Kennedy Endorses
Japanese Taking
Bering Sea Halihut
CHICAGO UP>—1The White House
announced from Chicago Saturday
President Kennedy’s endorsement
of a proposed agreement under
which Japanese fishing for halibut
in the eastern Bering Sea ^would
be permitted.
The announcement said the Pre
sident took action in accordance
with the North Pacific Fisheries
Act of 1954. In taking action, the
President accepted the recommen
dation of the International North
Pacific Fisheries Commission
which would permit Japanese to
share the eastern Bering waters
along with U. S. and Canadian
fishermen if Canada and Japan
also accept.
Kennedy was in Chicago for
ceremonies dedicating Chicago’s
O’Hare International Airport.
The announcement continued;
“In reaching this decision we
have not only taken into account
our international obligations but
also the domestic factors which
have come to our attention.
“We consider that this action
advances the cause of the principle
of abstention which is at the heart
of the tri-partite fisheries treaty of
1952 and which provides a reason
able, workable and essential pro
cedure for dealing with certain
major, North Pacific Fishery prob
lems.
“We are determined to work for
the continuation of this principle
and of the treaty in which it is set
forth.
“We are cognizant of the Com
mission’s recent successful efforts
on conservation measures which, if
accepted by the three parties to
the tripartite treaty, will provide a
suitable protection for eastern Ber
ing Sea halibut. This action will
not take effect until the Canadian
government takes similar action.’’

RADIATION HAZARDS
SALISBURY, Southern Rhode
sia —International airline pilots
holding their annual conference
here urged Friday that supersonic
passenger aircraft now under de
velopment be protected against
radiation.
The pilots noted that the super
sonic airliners being developed in
the United States and by a British
French company are designed to
fly at much higher altitudes than
present jet airliners. They said
this would expose them to radia
tion hazards.
