Russia Repeats
Plan for World
Armament Freeze

MOSCOW, R-Reiterating her
nine-year-old stand on arms ques-
tons, the Soviet Union has called
for world freeze on ornaments
and the immediate destruction of
all atomic and hydrogen weapons.
The Russian declaration was
issued Friday night, a week be-
fore the scheduled reopening Of
disarmament discussions in Lon
don by a United Nation subcom-
mittee. It announced that Deputy
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromy-
ko and Jacob Malik, Russian am
bassador to London, would repre-
sent the Soviet Union in the talks.
Insisting that the western pow
ers were intensifying the arms
race and the production of atomic
weapons by pushing for the re-
armament of West Germany, the
statement said:
1.-THE Soviet government con-
siders atomic weapons should be
banned and effective information
al control established for the pro-
hibition of atomic weapons and
the reduction of arms and armed
forces, first Of all off the major
powers.
can important step in that di-
rection would be an international
agreement under which the states
would make solemn pledge to
refrain from using such weapons"
Despite the Soviet statement
that they favored effective inter
national CONTROL" Washington Of
ficialS said the Russian proposal
did not give an inch toward the
Western demand for irOnclad con-
trolls through inspection to see
that written pledges are observed.
United Nations circles in New
York and US. State Department
officials said the Russian state
ment appeared to be primarily
another Soviet attempt to head
off West German rearmament.

posal would prevent the Bonn
government from contributing

House Passes Measure
To Reduce Penalty for
Taking Car for JOyride

JUNEAU, PA bill to reduce
the penalty for taking car for

ka House of Representatives Fri
day. 1t would reduce the offense
from the category Of a possible
felony under which youthful Of

The vote was Is to 5.
The present law provides pun
ishment of up to two years and
$4,000 fine for taking car with
intent to temporarily deprive"
the owner Of its use. That maxi
mum would put it into the felony
class. The bill would cut the max
imum punishment in half-to not

CAB Position Questioned in View
OF Alaska Airlines Traffic Growth

In discussing the States-Alaska
case, Nelson B. David, president
Of Alaska Airlines, Inc, called at
tention to recent letter from AL
aska Delegate E. l.. Bartlett to
the Civil Aeronautics Board, in
dicating that on the States-Fair-
banks route, the number of pas
sengers increased 1872 percent be-
tween 1850 and 1858; at the same
time cargo increased 83 percent
as the Fairbanks area population
was increasing by 81 percent.
In citing these figures, David
said it was hard to understand
the hesitancy of the CAB in re-
certifying Alaska Airlines because
Of the tremendous growth in traf-
fic and the degree Of pernanency
assured by the growth in popula-
ton.
AS to his own company, David
stated that, while they had not
made any commitment as to the
type Of new equipment to be used
on the States-Alaska run in event
of certificate renewal, he quoted
figures to indicate that Alaska
Airlines has enjoyed a heavy in
crease in revenue, particularly
over the past six months and that
the company's balance sheet for
the fiscal year ended Oct. 81, 1854
indicated net profit of over
$500.
Further, the first quarter of the
present fiscal year, net profits
were in excess of 100000 com
pared with $35,148 reported for
the same period last year. David
said these figures were indicative
of the company's ability to fl
nance any equipment required
Alaska Airline's traffic for Jan.
1855 has increased far and above
that Of Jan. 1854. The mail ton
miles increased 81 percent, pas
senger traffic 20 percent, and car
60 traffic increased 70 percent.
David further stated that the
recent action of the Civil Aero
nautics Board cutting back sub
sidy requirements Of Alaska Air
lines by over 100000 annually
had not affected the company in
earning profit in excess of $685.
600 during the month Of Jan. 1855
compared with a loss of $1,421
during the same month last year.
Of special significance is the
fact that the company estimates,
based on its operating results for
the current fiscal year, that with
in three years the major portions
Of its routes will be subsidy free.

I'm all for him I want him
