Legislature
 Rejects Four Nominations

JUNEAU, LR = The Alaska Legislature was in a turn-dowzl mood yesterday, rejecting four nominations, incluring a second term as Territorial Tax Commis- sioner for Karl F. Dewey.
 But the territory's law makers unanimously confirmed nine other appointments by Acting Governor Waino Hendrickson.
 They rejected the nomination of Kenneth Mckee of Ketchikan to 4-year term as a labor mem Der of the Employment Security Commission, succeeding Robert Dixon of Fairbanks.
 Hendrickson's two nominations to the Board f Juvenile Institu- tins were turned down. Rejected on roll-call votes on straight party lines were Mrs. Emily Boucher of Nome and Mrs. Patricia Williams of Seward.
 The rejection of Dewey who came to Juneau as an appointee of former Governr Frank Heint- zleman, means that Hendrickson must search elsewhere for a man to fill the $11, ,500-a-year post as head of the Territorial Tax Office.
 The governor can wait at least 20 days. Since the Legislature will have adjourned, the new appointee will fill the job on an interim basis until the 1859 Legislature meets. Dewey, however, is out. A rejected appointee cannot be named to an interim post.
 Gubernatorial appointees in cluded also Mrs. Audry Bayer of Nome to the Board of Health, for terms ending in 1861.

pered the rescue ships.
 The search area was to be ex- banded today to cover approxi- mately 75,000 square miles.
 Some Japanese aviation experts speculated the plane might have crashed on one of a chain of vol canic islands in the vicinity. One of which is Mt. Mihara, a 2,47O- foot active volcano into which Japan Air Line plane crashed April 9, 1852, killing all 37 per- sons aboard.
 The four-engine C-97, military version of the Boeing Strato- cruiser, left Wake Island Thurs day afternoon for Tokyo oh the last leg of a flight from Travis Air Base near San Francisco, Calif.
 The Air Force said 57 passen- gers and a crew of 10 were aboard the plane, with the pas sengers including 27 Air Force personnel; IT Army and 10 Navy men; 2 cilivian government en- ployes, both men, and woman military dependent, presumably the wife of Serviceman stationed in Japan.
 The crew, which included at least one woman, all were mem bers of the Air Force. The plane was operated by the Military Air
 Transport Service OMATS.
 One expert said if the plane did ditch in 30-foot seas, it all most certainly cracked up and sank quickly, possibly befroe life rafts could be launched.
 "Only God could ditch success fully in seas like that" he said.

EISENHOWER SHAPES PLANS FOR ASSURING MCMILLAN OF US. AID IN ATOMIC ARMY STREAMLININC

President Eisenhower called on his top military and diplomatic advisers today to shape plans for. assuring Prime Minister Mac Milan that the United States will help Britain develop a stream lined army with atomic striking power.
 Officials said the military is sues boil down to how much Bri- tain is going to cut it's forces and what can be done to increase the power of those remaining in uni form by prvoiding them with atomic age weapons.
 Eisenhower was expected to as sure MacMillan of U. s. help to developing mightier force with fewer men under arms
 After four hours of negotiations in two sessions on the Middle East, spokesmen for the President and Prime Minister announced they had discovered gratifying meas ure of agreement" on the whole range of thorny issues
 U. s. officials stressed, how ever, that for the moment the United States is backing U. S. Secretary General Dag Hammar- skid fully in his Cairo talks with Egyptian president Nasser and that no final decision will be made until Hammarskjold has reported to the United Nations.
 The Middle East ground cov- cred in yesterdays opening ses- sions of the Big Two Bermuda meeting included consideration of a suggested formula for resolving the immediate problem of the GaZa Strip by getting, U. N. Emergency Force GUNEF0 troops spotted at key points on both sides of the Israeli-Gaza order. The plan also would make the U. N force re- sponsible for security inside the strip, with Egypt retaining civilian administration of the area.
 Israel has in the past refused to agree to proposals for putting U. N. troops on its soil and has said the way must not be left open for Egypt to use Gaza again as base for raids into Israel.
 The two leaders also agreed a joint committee of experts would study British proposal for pro moting construction of an Iraq- Turkey pipeline, with the prime purpose of lessening the de- pendence of oil producing and consuming countries on the SueZ Canal.
 Also discussed were steps which may have to be taken in regard to the payment of Suez Canal tolls, a prime issue in the Ham marSkjlod-Nasse talks. Western nations using the canal had pro- posed that half the canal tolls be paid to an international agency for development and maintenance of the waterway. Nasser replied Egypt demands all the money but might be willing to put some ot it into a development fund.
 The two officials also blocked out in principle possible moves to establish the international nature of the Strait of Tiran to assure free passage of all ships into the Gulf of Aqaba.
 It was indicated that the issue might be taken to the World Court or some other international agen- cy. Egyptian guns kept Israel ships ut of the Aqaba area prior to Israel's October November in vasion of Egypt; U. N. trops nv are occupying the gulf shore and Israeli-chartered ships are using the waterway.

"Did you pay him ?"

'tDid you pay him?"
"Yeah, I paid him first thing.
Now / dent owe nobody nothing,
and Pm ready to get drunk"
That conversation overheard on
the street on Saturday morning
intrigued me. At first, ! was mere
Iy amused at the mans lack of
inhibition. Few people are SO care
less of public opinion that they
announce for all to hear that they
intend to get polluted before noon.
My second thought was that at
least the man was to be admired
for the fact that he wouldn't set
about getting drunk until he had
paid all his debts. The conversa-
ton kept running through my
mind, however, and l began to
feel sorry for that man. 1t is sad
to think of life that is vicious
circle Of working all week to pay
ones debts, getting drunk and
spending what's left Of the weeks
salary, and then getting up on
Monday morning to start the
whole thing over. Therein lies the
pity of the lack of sufficient edu-
cation and development of ones
inner resources, for a person who
cannot appreciate the written word
or music or other arts might well
be at such loss to find a better
use for his leisure time.
Nowadays we hear many people
say that all such foolishness as
literature, history, and other cul-
tural subjects should be cut out
of the schools. "Teach 'em how to
make a living" they say. No one
would deny the value of such prac
teal courses as are taught in the
vocational departments, but 7
sfudder to think what would be-
come of a nation whose future
citizens are taught nothing but
how to work with their hands.
MAN does not live by bread
alone," is a good thought to keep
in mind, though it is often hard
to convince young people of that.
Sometimes it is a little hard to
convince myself of the truth of it,
when an ex-pupil who couldn't
pass even ninth grade work tells
me proudly that he is making
more money than l am. 1t takes
only a little reflection, however, to
make me see that, while he is to
be congratulated and / am glad
for him, that there are some
