Statehood Bill Amended to Exclude Five Towns From Military Area

Holy Cross, Panama, Purgatory and Beaver. Chairman O'Brien D-NY) said the action came with the approval of an amendment by Delegate Bartlett.
 The administration proposal would have given the President authority to set up reservations north and west of a line running down the middle of the Porcupine and Yukon Rivers and the right bank of the Kuskokwim River.
 The Bartlett proposal moved the line five miles north and west of the rivers right banks.
 Another amendment under con- sideration when the session ended would require that duties within reservations created by the Presi- dent, not otherwise reserved to municipalities and local subdivi- sions, would be carried out by civilians or agencies designated by the President.
 Meanwhile, a Senate subcom- mittee was told that administra- ton proposals for Alaska state hood would in no way affect the continued applicability of the Bill of Rights and other constitutional safeguards to persons and proper ty located within the area"

Special Pay for Armed Forces
 Technicians Asked

WASHINGTON, N1-A $49 mil lion proficiency pay' raise for certain technicians in the armed forces was recommended to Sec retary of Defense Wilson today by an advisory committee
 The Committee on Military Manpower also proposed lump sum bonuses for reserve officers who stay on active service more than two years.
 The committees final report also revealed a plan to make fur ther reductions in armed forces manpower, now about 2,790,000. Military manpower has been re- duced steadily for about three years.
 There was no recommendation for an oss-the-board pay boost for either officers or men.
 The final report appeared to be substantially less than the origin al objectives. Since those objec- tives became known, federal budget makers have rebuffed Pentagon proposals for pay raises, basing the objection on the dan ger of inflationary trends.

Eisenhower Starts Personal Drive
 For His Program

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower launched a personal drive for his legislative program today with the statement that only relaxation of world ten sions will permit real cuts in spending.
 Eisenhower put up his budget defense at a news conference at which he also announced he plans to make two radio-TV addresses to back up his budget proposals and other elements of his pro gram.
 Along with his general defense of budget plans, Eisenhower adopted as his own those fiscal policies which Democrats have assailed as a tight money pro- gram.
 Eisenhower said the policies are his own and no one under him is going to change them.
 Eisenhower said it will be pos sible to make some minor reduc- tions in his $718 billion budget. It would be strange, he said, if Con gress with it's experience could not find some places to save.
 But he was vigorous in contend ing that deep cuts can be made only if there is an easing of world tensions.

Barrow EskimOs Have Narrow Escape As Wind Piles Up Shorebound Ice

preparing some tea suddenly felt the ice buckle and break beneath them. As each man struggled for footing, one older man Otis Akiv- gak, jumped into an umiak.
 The ice under the umiak began to rise, carrying the boat and man with it. Akivgak apparently thought he was safest in the boat but another hunter, Warren Mu- tumeak, seeing the rapid rise of the chunk and its precarious twist, shouted for Akivgak to jump. He did, just as the boat Tipped over and the churning ice crushed it out of sight.
 Some younger boys who had ventured out to the whaling camps the night before were brought safely back by older hunters aItho they had to be put in the uniaks and ferried across openings as wide as 75 feet.
