Road IS Miles

JUNEAU-A half million dollars
in road expenditures for the Nome
and Fairbanks area was decided
upon here last week at the con-
clusion of a four-day session of
the Territorial Board Of Road
Commissioners.
The sum of $250,0OO for each
division of the territory was
loaned to the road agency by the
legislature in its last session for
development Of trunk roads. The
funds were to be repaid out Of
gas taxes.
With divisional representatives
for the First and Third Divisions
unable to attend, earmarking Of
trunk road monies was limited to
the Nome and Fairbanks areas
until the next meeting schedule
at Nome in June.
At Nome, the IL miles of what
is known as the Nome Trunk Line,
reaching back from the beach into
the hills for the beginning of what
Seward Peninsula residents hope
will one day be a highway to Fair
banks, is to be extended as far as
100000 will permit.
If all goes well, Highway Engi-
neer Irving Nick. Reed hopes the
100000 will extend the Nome
road to 35 miles.
Another $4,000 will be used
for work on a projected road from
Nome to Teller.

Sights Lowered i'm
Vaccine Program

WASHINGTON, Up - Surgeon
General Leonard A. Scheele con-
firmed last night that it probably
will not be possible to inoculate
all children aged 1-19 against po-
Ito this summer, as originally
hoped.
Making and testing vaccine is
difficult and delicate process"
Scheele said in nationwide ra-
dio-TV report on the Salk vaccine
situation. 'You can't make virus
es meet headlines. You cannot
force scientific work to meet dates
on calendar. And it must be
kept in mind that the entire proc
ess of manufacturing a batch of
vaccine takes about 80 days.
"This is a reason why we can
give you no precise estimates of
how much vaccine will be avail
able at any given time"
Stressing that the government
policy is safety, not speed, ex-
cept as the latter is compatible
with safety" Scheele told of the
studies which led to adoption on
May n of revised manufacturing
and testing standards.

New Car Plane
To Be Tested

EMPORIA, Va, R-Charles
Pritchard, a railroader by profess
sion, is set to try out Friday a
wingless aircraft he developed be
cause he remembers "once when
/ had to walk five miles from an
airport to town." He says he's
worked ''to develop something
like this for 10 years for air travel
and highway travel"
The craft looks something like
a plane-minus the wings. The
rocket air ship" as Pritchard
calls it, is 81 feet long SO inches
wide, weighs about 800 pounds,
He figures the craft can be TAXED
on roadways.
The body Of the plane is made
entirely of aluminium. Each side
has battles Cor fms Of varying
length. From a technical stand
point, Pritchard points out the
fins ''hold air in the proper chan
el over the hull of the ship to give
the hull its lift"

Jet Passengers
Will Cross US.
In AZ Hours

SANTA MONICA, Calf, R-
The Douglas Aircraft Co. plans a
jet transport designed to cross the

span the Atlantic in 615 hours.
The empowered DC-8 will be

mounted below the swept-back
wing, which will be 134.6 feet

WASHINGTON, R-President
Eisenhower said today he has the
utmost confidence that West Ger

stand by the Western world in
any dealings with Soviet Russia.
Eisenhower volunteered the re-
mark at his news conference in
taking note of Moscow's bid for
establishment of diplomatic and
trade relations with the newly
sovereign Republic of West Ger
many. The Kremlin yesterday in
vited Adenauer to visit Moscow
to discuss those matters.
Eisenhower said it is only nat
ural Russia would extend such an
invitation, in view Of what the
President termed recent develop
ments in western Europe
The invitation, Eisenhower said,
seems to him to be logical ges-
ture on the part Of Russia. He
added the decision whether Alden
auer accepts is one which must
be made exclusively by West Ger
many.
Manpower Reserve
The President spoke out en-
phatically against adding anti
segregation amendments to adj
ministration legislation to create

tackled onto the bill in the House
and the action caused the measure
to be sidetracked a few weeks
