CAB Examiner
Recommends Air
Route Transfer
WASHINGTON W — A Civil
Aeronuatics Board examiner rec
ommended yesterday approval of
an agreement for the transfer of
Pan American World Airways’
route between Juneau and Fair
banks to Wien Alaska Airlines.
Examiner Wm. Madden also
recommended denial of a request
of Alaska Airlines that the right
to operate non-stop between the
two cities be withheld from the
route transfer.
Pan American serves the route,
both over the 624-mile non-stop
distance and by way of a stop at
Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Can
ada.
The agreement calls for Wien
to pay Pan American $71,000 for
the franchises, landing rights and
physical property involved.
Pan American would retain its
authority to operate non-stop be
tween Seattle-Tacoma and Ketchi
pan, Seattle and Fairbanks, and
Seattle, Ketchikan and Juneau.
Madden said Pan American of
ficials and Alaskan civic repre
sentatives have been wrestling for
a long time with the problems of
how to provide a greater fre
quency of local service over the
route, on which traffic volume is
light.
Pan American’s problem was
complicated last spring when the
airline converted all of its Seattle
Alaska flights to jets.
Pan American retained a pro
peller-driven DC6B in Alaska
specifically to operate the Juneau
Whitehorse-Fairbanks route, the
only DC-6 type plane th airline
was using except on some sched
ules out of Frankfort, Germany.
Wien holds a certificate for five
routes centered on Fairbanks. It
serves about 80 communities in
that part of Alaska north of Fair
banks and extending from the
Canadian border to the Bering
Sea.
Any exceptions to the examiner’s
recommendations must be filed
with the CAB within 10 days.

Tshombe Will
Pave Way For
Peaceful Entry
ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga UR
— Katanga President Tshombe is
scheduled to return to Kolwezi
Saturday to try to prevent de
struction of the industrial installa
tions there and pave the way for
peaceful entry of U.N. forces by
Monday.
The mercurial Katanga Presi
dent, who for 30 months has block
ed plans to reunify the Congo,
nromised to cooperate with the
U.N. last night after a four-hour
talk with U.N. officials here.
Congo Premier Cyrille Adoula
said Tshombe was getting his last
chance to bring his breakaway pro
vince back into the fold.
U.N. troops were reported al
ready moving toward the Tshilom
he River about 20 miles from
Kolwezi, ready for the signal to
move into the vital mining indus
trial area 150 miles northwest of
Elisabethville.
Tshombe said he would order
his gendarmes in Kolwezi not to
resist U.N. troops and to dismantle
the explosives they had planted
in the refining plants of the Union
Miniere Co., along the big hydro
electric dam and under bridges.
The Tshombe-U.N. agreement, as
announced over Katanga radio,
specified that:
x ouuniuc wxii lcdll licv-coocu. y
measures to insure that U.N. entry
“shall take place peacefully with
the cooperation of all concerned,
including the gendarmes and local
authorities.”
MASSIVE ICE JAM
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. UR —
Massive mounds of ice covered
most of the Niagara River today
as ice-breakers struggled to keep
water flowing to power generators
in this major hydroelectric-power
producing area.
The 13-mile length of the lower
Niagara River was jammed with
ice last night from the foot of
Niagara Falls to Lake Ontario.
Some buildups towered 30 feet
above water level.

Nike-X Anti-Missile
Would Give U.S.
One-Two Punch
WASHINGTON W — The new
Nike-X anti-missile system, men
tioned tersely in President Ken
nedy’s budget message, would give
the United States a one-two punch
to hurl at oncoming enemy hydro
gen warheads.
The Nike-Zeus, under develop
ment for more than six years, is de
signed to intercept hostile missile
warheads beyond the atmosphere.
The very much faster Nike-X
would destroy such warheads pene
trating inside the atmosphere,
relatively close to the ground.
Since the Nike-X still is on the
drawing board stage, it appears
likely this orientation in Pentagon
thinking on missile defense will
delay any combat-read v system
until the latter part of this decade,
if not longer.
Kennedy asked Congress for
$325 million to push development
of the Nike-Zeus, which already
has intercepted three target war
heads in tests over the Pacific, and
to start work on the advanced
system.
The President also requested
$100 million for other unspecified
anti-missile research projects re
lated to the Zeus.
The message provided no ampli
fication, but defense officials said
the mysterious sounding Nike-X
would complement the Zeus which
they said has been radically re
designed and greatly improved in
many respects.
Nike-X was described by those
officials as a later generation of
the Nike-Zeus, with vastly im
proved radar, a swifter missile and
better electronic components. They
said it would substantially increase
the effectiveness of the Zeus sys
tem.
Gastroenteritis Outbreak

ANCHORAGE <£» — An out
break of gastroenteritis (intestinal

ITS TIME TO REMEMBER
Mission School At
Methodist Church Sunday
Sunday night at the Community
Methodist Church the spotlight will
be on the “the rim of Asia.” Four
different countries in which the
church has mission work will re
ceive the attention of children,
youth and adults from 7:00 to 8:30.
Primary children will go to Korea
to learn what the church is trying
to do to provide schools for boys
and girls of this land. Mrs. Andy
Norland, Mrs. Thomas Johnson and
Mrs. John Schadlcr will also teach
them about the songs of Korea and
make a colorful “book bag” such
as Korean children use to carry
their lunch and books to school.
Junior boys and girls will be
under the supervision of Dr. John
Schadler, Mrs. Charles Reader and
Mrs. Boyd Harwood. They will
journey with three children of
their age who are trying to flee
from China and reach the safety
of “Tiger village” in Hong Kong
where their father’s brother Uncle
Ling lives.
Junior high youth will begin a
space trip with “Four from Moon
beam” and their teacher Mrs. How
ard Devore. They will visit these
new and strange lands of Korea,
Okinawa. Taiwan and Hong Kong
and learn how the Christians, who
are a minority group there live a
faithful and courageous life.
Senior youth will join the
adults this Sunday night.
“Yellow gold has it’s price,
learning is priceless,” according to
an old Okinawan proverb.
Gold is a familiar object to us
of Nome and ever-present in the
surrounding soil but this study is
only during the next four Sunday
evenings to learn of the rim of
southeast Asia, stated Mrs. Fen
stermacher.
Sunday evening at 7, Jan. 20,
Mr. John Poling will present a
study on Okinawa as the School of
Missions adult study begins. Fol
low his presentation, a film strip of
Okinawa will be shown, and a brief
worship will conclude the program.
The high school Sunday class
members will assist in the worship
program each evening. “Look at
God” will be the theme considered
by Miss Jo Chambers and Mrs.
Fenstermacher this Sunday. Mrs.
Robert Smith is chairman of the
tea committee assisted by Mrs.
Howard Farley and Mrs. Pat Dur
rett. Nursery care will be provided.
