Newspaper Strikes Cut
Deep Into Canada Payrolls
OTTAWA UP) — The New York
and Cleveland newspaper strikes
are cutting deep into Canadian
newsprint exports and payrolls.
It is estimated that approximate
ly $11 million in newsprint ex
ports and $4 million in wages have
been lost since the strikes began
in New York seven weeks ago and
in Cleveland eight weeks ago.
Robert Fowler, president of the
Canadian Newsprint Assn., recently
estimated that the strike in New
York is costing the Canadian in
dustry about $1.5 million a week
in newsprint export.
Canadian mills ship an average
of 12,500 tons a week to New York
papers. Cleveland newspapers ab
sorb 2,000 to 3,000 tons of Cana
dian paper a week.
Fowler said the loss of sales to
the two cities will not be recover
able in any post-strike surge of
sales.
GOP Committee Will
Investigate Cuban Fiasco
WASHINGTON — The Senate
Republican Policy Committee de
cided Tuesday to make an inde
pendent investigation of the abor
tive 1961 Cuban invasion.
The committee acted in closed
session.
Sen. Barry Goldwater, Arizona,
had publicly charged earlier that
Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy was
attempting to lay the blame for
failure of the invasion on former
President Dwight Eisenhower’s ad
ministration.
However, Senate Republican
leader Everett Dirksen of Illinois
told a news conference the com
mittee’s action was not predicted
on Goldwater’s complaints. Dirk
sen said he previously had begun
a personal inquiry into whether
the Attorney General had “told
the entire factual story” in a re
cent review of the Bay of Pigs
fiasco.

Special Forces Soldiers
Parachute Into Kotzebue
In Maneuvers Today
Special Forces soldiers from Ft.
Bragg, North Carolina, parachuted
into Kotzebue yesterday to begin a
training session with Eskimo mem
bers of the Alaska Army National
Guard.
About two dozen of the Special
Forces troops made the jump. A
few will stay in Kotzebue, while
the rest will fan out in groups of
six to three other villages. There
they will train with members of
Company C, 1st Scout Battalion,
297th Infantry, of the Alaska Na
tional Guard.
Next week they will be visited
by the Special Forces commander
from Ft. Bragg, Maj. Gen. Wm. P.
Yarborough. Gen. Yarborough will
parachute into Kotzebue Jan. 28 to
inspect the training.
Entertain Themselves
WASHINGTON iff) — The guests
didn’t seem to mind the absence
of after-dinner entertainment at
the White House — they enter
tained themselves.
There was dancing to the music
of the Marine Band, gay conver
sation and light-hearted cham
pagne toast, sparked by President
Kennedy himself.
Kennedy told his 157 guests
Monday night that this first formal
dinner of 1963—honoring the Vice
President. Speaker and Chief Jus
tice—was devoted to neither cul
ture nor politics.
He and his wife had scheduled
no program of cultural entertain
ment for this group, which in
cluded representatives of top gov
ernment, the cabinet, the courts
and Congress. They thought these
guests would rather talk—and they
were right.

Southeast Asians
Convinced Threat
Of War Remains
By Conrad Fink
TOKYO GP — Non-Communist
Asians will find little comfort in
Soviet Premier Khrushchev’s warn
ing to Red China that Communist
policy cannot be based on war.
Many who live within marching
distance of Peking’s vast armies
are convinced limited war and
the threat of war will remain cor
ner-stones of Chinese policy.
There is increasing fear Red
China is close to exploding its first
nuclear device — though probably
far from the sophisticated weapons
and delivery capability necessary
to become a true nuclear power.
The more thought Asians give
to the 1962 India-China border
war, the more they consider it a
successful Red Chinese power play
so frightening in its implications
that the mere threat of a repeat
elsewhere would have shattering
effect on China’s weak neighbors,
particularly in Southeast Asia.
Many feel Red China’s India
policy humbled India, isolated it
from its neutralist allies, and pre
cipitated severe economic disloca
tions in the Indian economy.
The fear in many Asian minds
is that Peking will not be able to
resist trying the same thing else
where.
One high-ranking Indian officer
said that when China invaded India
“our alleged friends in Southeast
Asia flopped over and played
dead.” He added:
“When China gets the big bang
(nuclear weapons) they will stop
breathing altogether.”
Because it was hit by U.S. atomic
bombs in World War II and has
large cities that offer nuclear tar
gets, Japan is paying particular at
tention to reports of nuclear de
velopment in Red China.
A high-ranking Japanese offi
cial, in a position to take an edu
cated guess, predicts Red China
may touch off its first crude, ex
perimental device in 1963.
The Chinese are known to have
four nuclear piles producing plu
tonium, a fissionable material, in
Peking, Shenyang, Sian, and
Chungking, he says.
The test site may be the vast
Tagla Makan desert north of Tibet.
U.S. Drops Charges
Against Ex-Gen. Walker
OXFORD, Miss, m — The fed
eral government has dropped
charges against former Army Maj.
Gen. Edwin Walker and six others
arrested after the University of
Mississippi desegregation riots last
fall.
U.S. Atty. H. H. Ray asked for
the dismissal Monday several hours
after a federal grand jury quit
without indicting Walker.
The charges against Walker were
dismissed by Judge Claude Clay
ton “without prejudice.” This
means the federal government
may reconsider them before the
statute of limitations expires in
five years.

After a slow start in the sec
ond ga/fie of the evening, the Mer
chants caught fire and made a
strong bid for their second win
of the season. The Jaycees stepped
out to a fat 14-7 first quarter edge,
and still maintained a 24-15 bulge
at halftime.
With a 17 point scoring spree in
the third frame the Merchants
caught their opponents and the
score was tied at 32 at the three
quarter mark. It was a close con
test from then on with the Jay
cees coming out on the long end
of a 42-38 count. George Bell top
ped the Jaycees scorers with 12,
and Bill Oman was high man for
the Merchants with 10.

Tlja Tolstoy
Seeks to Have
Tibetan Refugees
Admitted to U.S.
NEW YORK (tf> — Ilia Tolstoy,
an explorer and naturalist, seeks
to have several thousand Tibetan
refugees admitted to this country
in an effort tp combine a humani
tarian endeavor with an agricul
ture experiment.
Tolstoy wants about 10 yaks—
Tibetan livestock similar to the
American bison—brought over with
the refugees.
He proposes to settle the Tibetans
and their animals on the Alaskan
range south of Fairbanks, where
the yaks could be cross-bred with
Galway cattle to produce a hardy
breed called “Dzo,” which has been
known to fare well in Arctic cli
mates.
Tolstoy, a native of Russia who
emigrated to this country in 1924
and studied animal husbandry at
Iowa State College, is a grandson
of world famous author Leo Tols
toy. He is a Count but normally
does not use the title because, as
he put it, “I gave up all other
titles when I accepted the title
‘citizen of the United States’.”
“I’d like to see some of the
80,000 Tibetan refugees from the
Chinese Communists resettled in
the United States,” Tolstoy said
Tuesday in an interview. “They are
good people, hard working, trust
worthy, friendly.”
“We could combine this worth
while humanitarian effort with a
very practical means of increasing
the meat supply in Alaska,” he
said. “Tha cross-breeding of yaks
and Galway cattle has been suc
cessful in various areas in the past.
A Tibetan community set up on
that basis should be self-support
ing within two years.”
Tolstoy, who spent 1931 and 1932
at Mt. McKinley National Park,
has approached the U.S. Agricul
ture Department, State Depart
ment, the Canadian government
and various senators with his idea.
Bullet Works Its Way Out
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. —
George McCaulley was 8 years old
when he was shot in the right
leg in 1891 in a hunting accident
in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
He never had the .22 slug re
moved.
Yesterday, McCaulley displayed
the slug which popped out of his
leg at home.
Dr. Walter Kotarski theorized
the bullet worked its way out after
McCaulley suffered a recent bruise.
