ACS Headquarters
May Be Moved From
Seattle to Anchorage
SEATTLE t'P' — The Washing
ton. D.C., bureau of the Seattle
Times quoted the Air Force today
as saying a study was under way
on consolidating the Alaska Com
munication System.
The newspaper said if consoli
dation became a reality it could
mean transfer of the ACS head
quarters from here, possibly to
Anchorage.
The Seattle office employes
about 200 civilians and has 20
military personnel on its staff
with an annual payroll of about
$1 million.
The ACS has 737 civilian work
ers and 197 military personnel.
The Air Force was quoted as
saying recent closures of Distant
Early Warning Line stations in Al
aska, reducing the area served by
the ACS. have resulted in specu
lation that consolidation might
be economical.
The survey is being conducted
by Middle West Survey Co. of Chi
cago, which is expected to make
its report next month. Indications
were, however, that it would be
some time before a decision is an
nounced.

Dept, of Fish and Game
Band 1000th Ptarmigan
In Continuing Field Study
FAIRBANKS — On Aug. 6 a
field crew of the Alaska Depart
ment of Fish and Game caught and
banded the thousandth rock ptar
migan to be marked at Eagle Sum
mit since 1960. The ptarmigan, a
chick about 45 days old, was part
of a brood of eight found in a
patch of willows at mile 106 on
the Steese Highway. The bird was
released less than two minutes
after it was caught, and scurried
off into the rain - soaked bushes,
apparently unaware of the alumi
num bracelet that adorned its leg.
These 1,000 ptarmigan caught on
Eagle Summit constitute the larg
est number of live ptarmigan ever
handled by biologists in North
America. The banded birds are
extremely important sources of in
formation on longevity, migration,
hunting pressure and death r ites.
Band returns, together with data
from nesting birds (over 90 nests
have been found and studied to
date*, provide the raw material
that will be pieced together at the
end of the study into a detailed
picture of the fortunes of a popu
lation of ptarmigan. The Depart
ment of Fish and Game plans to
continue this phase of its upland
game bird program until 1970, to
cover a whole ten-year “cycle” of
ptarmigan abundance and scarcity.
In the United States only one
out of 10,000 who get measles die
of it. In Africa, one out of two die.

Russia Reneged
On Giving Them
jThe Atom Romh
TOKYO — Communist China
claimed today Premier Khrush
chev promised to help them build
an atomic bomb and then broke
the promise in 1959 to please then
President Eisenhower.
A biting broadcast by a man
identified as a government spokes
man said the Soviet Union tore up
the agreement “at the time the
Soviet leader went to the United
States for talks with Eisenhower.”
It gave the date, however, as
June 20, 1959—three months be
fore Khrushchev's American tour
and at a time he had not even
been invited.
The broadcast said the original
agreement to supply atomic know
how and a sample bomb to China
was made Oct. 15, 1957. This was
just about the time the Russians
orbited their first satellite.
Khrushchev flew to Peking from
i Washington, with a brief Moscow
stop-over, to attend 10th anniver
sary celebrations of the Chinese
Communist regime and to hold
secret talks with Mai Tze-Tung.
Today’s broadcast said the So
viet Union, “When there was not
yet the slightest sign of a treaty
on stopping nuclear tests . . . re
fused to provide China with a
sample of an atomic bomb and
technical data concerning its man
ufacture.”
The charges provided one of the
clearest reasons yet made public
for the Moscow-Peking break.

Tuesday and developed a theory

less a style authority than the
Italian designer, Emilio Pucci, had
predicted that by 1973 European
women will find nothing strange in
baring their bosoms on beachs.

FTC Accuses Jonas Bros.
Of Violating Requirements
Of Fur Labeling Act
WASHINGTON tfn — The Fed
eral Trade Commission announced
two Seattle firms, Jonas Brothers,
Inc., and Jonas Brothers of Al
aska, Inc., have agreed to a con
sent order banning certain prac
tices.
The FTC accused the furriers of
failing to label, invoice and ad
vertise some of their fur products
under requirements of the Fur
Products Labeling Act.
The complaint said labels had
been substituted, savings listed in
some sale - price advertisements
were fictitious, and adequate rec
ords had not been kept.
Also named in the complaint
were three officers of the compan
ies, Chris and A. C. Bert Kline
berger and Peter Bading.
In agreeing to the consent or
der the companies and officers did
not admit to any violations.
It is estimated that up to 120
million .Americans indulge with a
fair degree of regularity in some
form of betting — on everything
from baseball to bingo.
