Bartlett Is Opposed to Relaxed Fishing Rules

WASHINGTON, tR-Plans to relax commercial fishing regula- tions in southeast Alaska next year met with opposition today from Delegate Bartlett.
 The proposed action by the Fish and Wildlife Service, Bartlett said, is against the judgement of most of the fishermen in the area.
 He said the action would place an important segment of the Alas ka industry ''in dangerous posi- tion."
 The Fish and Wildlife Service had written Bartlett that a good run of pink salmon is expected in 1858 on two grounds: CD a good escapement in 1856, parent year for the 1858 run, and @ research showing that the survival of fry from 1856 spawning was good.

New Koyukuk
 Basin Map Out

WASHINGTON, R-The Geo. logical Survey today announced publication of a new geologic map of a 4,OO0-square-mile area of the Koyukuk basin in Alaska.
 The Interior Department said the map is designed to serve in- creasing interest in the oil possi- bilities of the area.
 The portion of the basin mapped is west of the Yukon River, be tween the Kateel and Kaltag Rivers.
 Field studies, including trav- erses along parts of the Kateel, Gisasa, Nulato and Kaltag Rivers, were made during the summers of 1854, 1855 and 1856. Photogeologic studies provided additional data on intervening areas.
 Rocks in the area covered by the map consist of sandstones, siltstone, and shale of cretaceous age, and are of marine, littoral and nonmarine origin, the survey reported.
 Copies of the map, entitled "Pre- liminary Geologic Map of the Nulato and Kateel Rivers Area. Alaska can be purchased from the Geological Survey at 75 cents each.

 Without calling them by name, the Pope endorsed the North At lantic alliance, the United Nations and Western disarmament pro- posals, saying:
 "The divine law of harmony strictly imposes on all rulers of nations the obligation to prevent war by means of suitable interna- tional organizations, to reduce armaments under a system of ef- fective inspection, to deter who ever should aim at disturbing the peace with the most fully guaran- teed mutual dependence between the nations which sincerely desire it." r

NATO Wants Missile Bases On Land and Sea

PARIS, R-Gen. Lauris Nor stad, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, said today NATO mill tary circles want intermediate range ballistic missiles based on both land and sea.
 He told a news conference the seaborne launching sites could take the form of submarines, sur face vessels or even floating plat forms that could be constructed off the coasts of NATO powers.
 Norstad said he expected to make in matter of weeks the necessary military reccmmenda- tions as a first step to the estab- lshment of missile bases in Europe
 The commander said he expects from to 10 squadrons of IS inter mediate range missiles each will be established in Europe. These figures did not include the four missile sites contemplated in Britain, he added.
 As a result of last weeks sum- init NATO conference, he predict ed, the Western allies will have the missiles in Europe in good time to meet the growing Soviet threat from scientific advances.

SanatOrium Plans For Treatment Of Other Disease

< SEATTLE, R-Riverton Hospi- tai, oldest tuberculosis: sanatorium in the Pacific Northwest, next month will accept patients with other chronic and acute disease, a hospital spokesman announced last week.
 The change. will become effec- tive with transfer of the last 50 Alaska natives now receiving treatment for TB to the Tacoma Indian Hospital. This is expected to begin about Jan. IS, altho the transfers may not be completed for another two months.
 For the past three years, Alaska natives have made up the greatest part of the hospitals patient load. Nearly 300 have been cared for under program of the federal government which now is coming to an end.
 Under the federal program, a huge backlog of TB patients has been reduced, by care in Wash ington and Alaska hospitals, to a point where hospitals in the ter ritory can handle the current load.
 Riverton expects to continue to care for some tuberculosis patients sent here by the Alaska Dept. of Health, and for private tubercu- losis patients.

 As he did last Christmas, the Pope affirmed mans right for self-defense, but he called on the governments of the world not to be misled by pride in a race for arms supremacy.
 The cost of an arms race is ru- inous, he warned.
 Such quantities of material, such sums of money derived from savings and the result of restricr tions and toil," he said. "such ex- penditures of human labor taken away from urgent need, are con- sumed to prepare these new arms"
 Even the wealthiest nations, y the pontiff cautioned, must fore see the times in which they will regret the dangerously weakened

2,OOO-MPH. LONC-RANCE BOMBER ORDERED BY US. AIR FORCE

? WASHINGTON, M-The Air Force said today it has ordered manufacture of a bomber capable of flying more than 2,O00 miles an hour for long distances.
 A spokesman said it is an ar rangement for North American Aviation to produce prototype planes looking well ahead in de- |veiopment, but not yet contract for quantity production.
 It is understood the bomber will use an advanced fuel. pro ducing more thrust than the fuels burned in conventional jets.
 The Air Force left hay the question whether the craft will be powered by something approach ing true rocket motor.
 It said the bomber twill be ca pablo of speeds in excess of 2,OO0 miles an hour for long distances at ceilings of over 10000 feet"
 By comparison, the B-58, the most advanced bomber now in the Air Force arsenal but not yet be- ing produced in quantity, is re- puted to have a speed in the neighborhood of 1900 miles an hour and ceiling of 5O,O0O feet
 An Air Force spokesman said the new plane, which previously was referred to as, the WS-111A, is intended as long range deve1- opment from the B-52 family of ibombers. This standard craft, now a mainstay of the Air Force, is reported to have speed in the neighborhood of 700 miles per hour.
 l The spokesman said Air Force Secretary James H. Douglas had awarded the contract for the new bomber on the recommendation of the Air Force chief of staff, Gen. Thomas E. White. He said it also had the unani- nous recommendation of the Air Force research and development officials. Research on the craft began in 1855.

Plane Uses Highway
 For Landing and Takeoff

HOPE, B.C. RARobert Thomp- son of Anchorage taxied his light plane along the trans-Canada Highway yesterday near Yale, Is miles north of here, and took off to continue his flight to Fairbanks.
 A low cloud ceiling forced Thompson to land on the highway Friday an hour after taking off from Chilliwack, 40 miles south west of Yale.
 He got permission from the De- partment of Transport to use the highway as a runway. It was thought earlier the plane, a Piper Super Cub, would have to be lowed to an airport near here.
