Experts Point Out Value
Of World Remote Areas
COLUMBUS, Ohio (if) — Speak
ers at the National Security Semi
nar yesterday devoted their ef
forts to explaining the strategic
importance to the United States of
the Middle East, Canada and the
Arctic, the Far East and free
Europe.
Navy Capt. C. F. Pfeiffer noted
that Arctic and Canada are not
only strategically important to us
because they are in direct line of
air attack across the North Pole,
but also because of their economic
potential.
Oil and lumber products devel
opment in Alaska have shown real
promise and “our dependence
upon Canada as a source of raw
materials being depleted in the
U.S. makes this country vitally im
portant.” Pfeiffer declared. These
sources of materials, of course,
would be particularly vital in case
of war, he said.
JUNEAU iJ5! — Alaska’s unem
ployment compensation fund had
a balance of $6,618,000 on Sept. 30,
up $1,596,000 from the balance on
the same day last year, Labor
Commissioner Gil Johnson said
today.
Johnson said $157,000 was paid
out in current benefits during the
month of September, compared
with $113,000 in September of
1962.
The fund balance does not re
flect debts exceeding $9 million
to two federal unemployment
funds.

Kennedy OK Sends
W heat to Russia
WASHINGTON UP) — President
Kennedy told Congressional lead
ers today he has decided to ap
prove the sale of $250 million in
American wheat to the Soviet
Union.
Senate Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield of Montana told a re
porter after a White House meet
ing that Secretary of the Treas
ury Douglas Dillon had assured
leaders of both parties that pri
vate sale of the wheat would be
made on the basis of cash or com
mercial credit.
“The meeting was entirely har
monious,” Mansfield said.
There has been some criticism
in Congress of the proposal to
furnish grain to the Russians but
supporters of the move have con
tended the Soviets could get the
wheat elsewhere if it were not sold
to them by the United States.
von Braun Warns $ Cut
Punctures Moon Dreams
WASHINGON UP) — Missile ex
pert Wernher von Braun says a
$250-million cut in the nation’s
space budget this year could mean
defeat for the announced U.S. in
tention of putting a man on the
moon before the 1970s.
The German-born scientist, head
of the Marshall Space Flight Cen
ter at Huntsville, Ala., expressed
his views in a letter to a member
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee which approved a $5.1 bil
lion budget for the National Aero
nautics and Space Administration
in 1964.
The House earlier had author
ized a maximum of $5,350,000,000.
The money must be provided in a
separate appropriations measure
which comes up in the House
Thursday.
Rep. George W. Andrews, D
Ala., who received the letter from
von Braun, said he will read it to
the House at that time.
WASHINGTON UP) — The In
terior Department reported Tues
day a sharp reduction last month
in the number of Soviet fishing ves
sels on and near Georges Bank
in the Northwest Atlantic.
It estimated about 100 vessels
were in the area at the end of
September, compared with about
200 throughout the summer and
until August.

Four-Power Pact
Protects Seals for
Six More Years
WASHINGTON itfi—'The United
States, the Soviet Union, Canada
and Japan signed Tuesday an
agreement extending for six more
years restrictions on hunting fur
seals in the North Pacific Ocean.
Under the treaty, fishing for fur
seals on the high seas is prohib
ited. The United States and the So
viet Union agreed to give 15 per
cent of their catch of the fur seals
to Japan and a similar amount to
Canada.
The hunting of fur seals is
strictly limited to the Pribilof Is
lands, owned by the United States,
and to the Komandorsky and Ro
ben Islands, owned by the Soviet
Union.
The fur seal pact was signed by
Soviet Ambassador Anatoly F.
Dobrynin, Canadian Ambassador
Charles S. A. Richie, Japanese
Ambassador Ryhuji Takeuchi, and
U. Alexis Johnson, Deputy Under
secretary of State for Political
Affairs
After the signing ceremony,
Johnson expressed the hope that
the four nations could “get together
on other things as well as we can
on seals.”
The prohibition against fur
sealing on the open seas dates back
to 1911, and is one of the oldest
treaties to have endured among
the four nations. There was a
break during World War II, but
the conservation pact was revived
after the war.
Under the terms of the new
agreement, an investigation will
be made in 1958 to determine whe
ther the herds of fur seals have in
creased sufficiently in size to per
mit the resumption of sealing on
the open seas.
The State Department said the
protocol is “designed to insure the
maximum sustainable productivity
of the fur seal resources of the
North Pacific Ocean.” ,
