Lower Power Rates Not In Prospect for Nome

Future plans and present prob lems of the Nome Utilities Board were the subject of a talk by its president, Pearse Walsh, to the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce at the. Chamber's weekly meeting.
 The power plant produces am pie voltage for the needs of the town with a safety excess for emergencies, MT. Walsh stated.
 However, the low voltage in some sections is caused by faulty distribution, too many secondary lines, and not enough transform CTS, he said, and the Utilities Board is working towards the cor irection of these deficiencies.
 The Chamber members praised the mercury vapor lights which have been placed on some street corners. Mir. Walsh said tie sys- tenn of such lights will be in- stalled in cooperation with the City Council.
 !. There is a possibility of lower consumer rates, MT. Walsh ad- vised, at such time as there are more kilowatts to sell after 3 power increase. Because of rising operating costs, however, lower consumer rates are not possible at this time, he added.
 The business meeting of the Chamber included the reading of letter from the Post Office De partment which said there is a new schedule by Alaska Airlines to Kotzebue. With the regular flights made by Wiens, there now is daily mail service between Nome and Kotzebue, except Sun days.
 Guests at the luncheon meeting were Mrs. Louella Oliver of the Trading Post, Albert Diede, and William Cartwright, vice presi- dent of the Alaska National Bank of Fairbanks.

Russia Put Third In Nuclear Physics

PALO ALTO, Calif., R-Dr. Hans Bethe of Cornell, one of the worlds top atomic physicists, places the Russians no better than third in nuclear physics.
 The Cornell University expert told press conference yesterday America is way ahead of every other country and the British are second.
 However, Dr. Bethe described the race as close in the field of thermonuclear reactions, which includes both. the hydrogen bomb and harnessing atomic fusion for .peacetime uses.

of 80 miles or more, informed sources said today.
 Altho the missile was designed to fly 5000 miles and reach an altitude of 600 miles, it reportedly was set for yesterdays test higl1t to go only about 400 miles.
 The missile flew faster, higher and farther than planned.
 Mai. Gen. Donald Yates, com mander4 of the Air Force missile test center here, said the Atlas was not recovered and no attempt to recover 1t would be made.
 He said altho in the public eye the first two tests of the Atlas were failures because the missiles had to be blown up, shortly after takeoff, actually both tests were 95 percent successful.
 'tIn our routine tests we expect, ask for, design and build in fail- ures," Yates said.
 And you may expect addition al so-called failures from all parts of the missile test program"
 "The only time that the so- called failures don't occur is after delivery of weapons to troops. We want the missiles to develop their failures here, not in the operation al phase"
 Yates added it is entirely pos sible for missile test to appear completely successful on the sur face, yet to produce nothing in the way of information.

 Johnson heads the Senate Pre- paredness Subcommittee which last night recessed it's hearings until Jan. 6.
 Tt is up to all Americans to work as tho there will never be any tomorrow and everything must be done tonight" Johnson said.

before him, It. Gen. Donald l.. Putt, Air Force deputy chief of staff for research and develop iment, said the Russian Sputnik llaunchings indicate the Soviets could hit the U with a missile.
 There is some doubt as to the degree of accuracy they would have but they certainly could hit the United States" he said.
 Irvine said the Air Force is de veloping chemically fueled bomber to replace the long range B-52. He gave no details.
 Irvine was in favor of cutting red tape. s'I think we could save the taxpayer some money and get better efficiency if we cut down the Depeartment of Defense about 50 percent and sent the people out to work so there wouldn't be SO many people in the Pentagon to write letters to each other"

Yesterdays violence. the first

broke out when troops and police

The demonstrators were called
out after Premier sami Solh's
government refused demands
that 1t resign and let q neutral
government conduct the cleo
tons. The opposition has at
tackled Mr. Solh's government
for its pro-Western stand and
demanded that Lebanon align

proved Mr.. Solh's endorsement
Of the Eisenhower Middle East

In Beirut Riot

BEIRUT, Lebanon, May 81 up.
Soldiers and police guarded
strategic spots and armored cars
patrolled this capital city today
in the wake Of yesterdays polit-
ical violence. Eight rioters were
killed. about 10 wounded and
more than. 200 put under arrest
|as the army squelched Q demon
stration BY government oppo-
nents.
Business activity returned
slowly to normal. Only o few
shops remained closed. But the
government underlined its de-
termination to maintain order
with the show Of armed force on
Beirut's streets. The opposition
political leaders were making lit
tie headway in appeals to con-
tinue q general strike.
A few small disturbances
erupted. apparently spanked by
youths trying TO turn funeral
services Of yesterdays victims
into something more, but rowing
troops quickly suppressed them.
Elections Are Pushed
The government announced It
was going ahead with parlia-
mentary elections slated TO begin
June Q and said the army will
help supervise them.
The opposition leaders had
demanded continuation Of pro-
tests until the government falls
and until the criminals who are
government officials and en-
loyes get their just punishment"
1t became apparent that the
opposition was centering much
OF its ammunition on pro-West-
ern President Camille Glamour,
who was elected in 1852 for a
six-year term. The president is
chosen by Parliament. Oppose
tion groups are supporting

ences and present concepts OF

In urging q complete overhaul
|of the Classification Act, the Cor
diner group urged that Federal
pay hrst be substantially in
creased as an emergency meas
ure to retain competent employees
while revision Of the Govern
ment's pay structure was 60
ling on.
The Cordiner group urged
establishment Of q special Salary
Commission to study the Gov
ernment's various pay systems
Under the proposal. the commits
sion would be composed Of men,
bers Of Congress. the Executive
Branch and the public. Differing
with the administrators view
that Federal pay raises should
be postponed until q thorough
pay study Is made, the Cordiner
group emphasized that Federal
salaries should be increased i'm
mediately and the pay study
made subsequently.
The Cordiner Committee also
urged that the Governments pay
system be changed to allow pro-
motions within q grade for abil-
|ity and initiative. II pointed out
that under the present system
employees can only advance
within q grade on the basis Of
seniority.
