82,013 persons to Alaska and took out 93,772.
 Record Highway Traffic
 Alaska's highway traffic also reached an all-time high during 1856 when 96,052 persons entered or left Alaska, or an increase of 21,109 persons. In 1856 49,798 people came to Alaska by high way and 46,254 left. They came in 16,941 vehicles and departed in 15,104.
 Steamship traffic to Alaska, with no American flag steamers operating during the year, suf- fered a slight decrease. A total of 21,921 passengers were carried to and from Alaska by steamship in 1856. Tt is interesting to note" :" Anderson said, "that 11,052 pas sengers, or better than half, were carried to and from the territory by the Military Sea Transporta- tion Service"

1856 Was Banner Year for Alaska Transportation With
 293,77l Entering or Leaving

The year 1856 was banner year for Alaska transportation when a new all-time record was set with the number of passen- gers travelling either to or from Alaska amounting to 293,771 per sons. This represents gain of 39,101 travellers over the 1855 total.
 These figures are contained in the annual Passenger Traffic Sur vey published each year by the A a k Resource Development Board. This survey was released Tuesday by Al Anderson, execu- tive director.
 During 1856, 143,6OO persons came into Alaska by air, car and boat. In the same year 15O,l71 left the territory, so that net migration loss of 6,571 persons occurred during 1856.
 Insignificant Loss
 This net migration loss is not considered statistically signifi- cant, according to Anderson, who said that he believed the excess of births over deaths during the period would about make up for the loss.
 The airlines serving Alaska carried a lions share of the total traffic, with 598 percent; the Alaska Highway 327 percent, and the remaining 7.5 percent by wa ter carrier.
 Seven Serving Airlines
 The five American and two Ca- nadlan airlines serving Alaska and Canada carried a total of 175,790 passengers in and out of Alaska. This represents an in- crease Of l1,100 passengers over 1855 or gain of II percent. The peak air traffic for inbound pas sengers occurred in June of 1856 when 12,231 persons arrived.
 Average monthly air traffic into Alaska amounted to 6,834 people, while average outbound traffic was 1915. Airlines brought

336 Persons in End Division Get Social Security

JUNEAU-At the end of 1856 336 persons in the Second Divi- sion were receiving social secur- ity insurance payments totallins 11,O09 mcnthly. The figures were announced this week by James G. Browne, district manager of the Juneau social security office.
 The number of beneficiaries increased by 70 over 1855 and the total monthly benefits being paid in the division at the close of the year was 2,335 over the total be- ing paid the year before, accord ing to Browne.
 The number of social security insurance payments to retired workers, wives, widows and chil- dren in the Second Division rose 26 percent during 1856, as com pared with 10 percent increase for Alaska as a whole
 Browne noted that the benefi- ciary increases are mainly due to expansion of social security cov- craze, the lowering of retirement age for women to 62, and an in- creasing public understanding of the types of benefits payable.
 Benefits now being paid in the Second Division are as follows, with the number of beneficiaries and monthly payments for each group:
 Retired workers 92 S5,O84 Wives and widows 23 573 Mothers with children 36 1.O44 Children 125 4.3O3

Wool Producers
Reminded OF Govt
Marketing Program

Wool and unshorn lambs marketed
not later than March 81 will be elig-
ible for payments to be made this
summer under the 1856 wool incentive
program, chairman Wilbur Bunke of
the Allen county agricultural stabil-
ization and conservation committee
said this week.
Applications for payment under the
1856 program must be filed not later
than April 30 at county ASC offices.
Payment rates for the 1856 program
will be announced this summer when
the average price received for shorn
wool during the 1856 market year is

Chairman Bunke advised producers
to be sure sales documents they
receive when selling wool provide all
the information required under the
wool program. He specifically warned
that the sales document should show
the true net sales proceeds including
deductions made for freight and other
marketing charges.
Payments are made under the
National Wool Act of 1854 to stimulate
wool production toward 300-million
pound goal. Payments to producers
under the first years operation for
the 1855 clip amounted to SGT million,
including shorn wool and lamb pay
ments.

BY FRANCES LIDE


The Department Of State
Is watching for a sign that
would indicate a possible
shift in RusSia's policies in
the disarmament field, but
it's hard to remain as opti-
mistic as before the recent
shakeup in the Communist
Party leadership. Undersec-
rotary Of State Christian
Herter said yesterday.
Mr.. Herter spoke at a
Women's National Press Club
luncheon held at the Hotel
Statler for the Inauguration
of new officers.
The Undersecretary pointed
out that v. M. Molotov, long
time Premier and Foreign
Minister. had been deposed
from the party's Central
Committee and Presidium
with the statement that he
was "hindering in every way
the augmentation of meas
ureS to ease international
tension and strengthen peace
throughout the world"
Implication Obvious
The obvious implication, he
noted, is that the new regime
will continue easing tensions
and strengthening peace.
The department is ire
mendously interested in flnd-
ing evidence that such a
course is being followed. and
"the first area in which we.
are looking for the sign of
a possible shift is in the
disarmament field" he said.
1t is very difficult, how
ever, to discern any change
while on the other hand it is
almost possible to detect a
hardening of policy" he as
serted.
But we still have hopes
that the disarmament con-
ference may be a modest be-
ginning that still might bear
fruit" he added. whether
these hopes will be blasted,
l cannot tell. am one
who wants to stay on the
optimistic side. but it's hard
to stay as optimistic as be-
fore these events took place
in Moscow.
The State Department may
never get all the information
1t needs for a true interpre-
tation of the Russian shake
up. Mr.. Herter declared.
Dictator Not Indicated
However. he expressed the
opinion the emergence of a
dictator is not indicated be-
cause. In reputation of the
Stain doctrine. the Russian
leaders have committed them
selves to a committee form
of government.
But there is no doubt, he
said. that Nikita Khrushchev
won a real victory over the
individuals who had in mind
unseating him from the posi-
ton he has achieved by vir-
tlire of having assumed many
responsibilities that cut across
lines of authority.
I'VE can't tell how much
is the result of a power strug-
gle or an theological struggle,
but it looks like a comhina-
ton of BOTH" he said.
While 1t appears at the
moment there might be some
real shifts of policy in Russia
itself, ne noted that many Of
the policies Of the past two
years have been determined
by Khrushchev.
Turning to the Middle East,
the speaker said there is no
question but what Russia's
policy is to fish In troubled
waters. wherever they may be.
When that fishing begins,
tensions arise, he pointed out.
Whether or not they are Sc
rious, they must be watched
with the greatest care for
fear they will set on a con-
fiagration, which might be
accidental but could lead to
a "hideous holocaust" he
added.

with basic suggestions to aid

to save valuable time:
Take time to plan a sched-
ule. At any convenient time,
jot down a schedule of spe-
cial tasks for the coming
week.
Planning meals ahead for
one half Of the week is a
nelp in many ways. You may
find it satisfactory to divide
